Hi ladies. Im currently ttc baby 3. I had a miscarriage at 8.5 weeks in May and since then finding it a really struggle physically and mentally. Im once again in my tww. 7dpo today so definitely to early to test. If I conceive this month the due date will be my birthday which id love to see as a sign lol as you can see I'll grab any hope I can. Anyone else in their tww?

Hello @tillybud89
Sorry to hear about your MC 🙁 I had one at the beginning of July at 7 weeks so completely understand what you mean mentally. I’m also 7dpo, guessing AF is due around Thursday but not sure my cycles regulated yet after our loss so who really knows 🙈 X

Hey @tillybud89 !

Sorry to hear about your mc.

I think I’m around 9dpo. I say think, I stopped breastfeeding a week ago and yet to have my periods return. I did have ewcm and tested ‘high’ on a cheapie ovulation strip I had had home, never never reached peak so not 100% sure if I did.

I feel like I’m in the ttw, but not fully - if that makes sense? We are trying, but also don’t know if I did ovulate. I’m holding onto the smallest bit of hope and over analysing everything 🫣.

When do you plan to test?

Hi! Ah ok yes I know what you mean. Im sure if you tested positive on a opk then your definitely still in. I got told after my mc that I could still get before my next period.
Im going to test tomorrow morning. Stupidly did a cheapie this afternoon and obviously bfn as its to early. But I got my first faint positives with my other including the mc at 8dpo. I have been extremely irritable and moody the last 2 days and have no energy but I've not long finished my stint of night shifts so it could just be that. How old your little one? You thinking of testing soon? Xx
