Little background started trying in May 2025. Conceived in June however had a MMC at 12 week. Scan end of August, ended in medical miscarriage at the start of September.
I had a chemical beginning of December.
baby number 1 was so easy and quick and I’m struggling atm with two losses, the new year and no pregnancy :(
I am looking to start a thread so that women in a similar situation can post and share their experiences on what can be a very lonely ttc journey ❤️

I am CD2 xx

The line is still definitely there so hopefully it’s just taking a little longer for levels to increase. I’ve heard that’s happened to many women. Try and stay positive xx

Lola266 · 04/02/2026 20:07

This is my clear blue. Latest one today is 15dpo. I had a negative CB weeks indicator yesterday at 14DPO. My period is about a day or two late. Xx

Hi guys looks like I’m having another chemical. line has gone faint today at 15 DPO x

Have you tried any other type of brands of tests? When are you due on your period? Any period signs? Have everything crossed for you x

Hey guys thought I’d jump on. I’m TTC baby no2, came off contraception May 2025, been trying since with a “if it happens it happens” attitude, until recently when I started tracking bbt and opks religiously, still no baby in sight.
This process is grooooooling xx

mumofro · 02/02/2026 10:37

You’re still very early, and in the early stages the HGC takes 48 hours to gradually increase so fingers crossed everything is perfectly fine ❤️ @Lola266

Lola266 · 02/02/2026 10:26

Hi guys I have a feeling a may be having another chemical. Top is 11dpo and second is. 13dpo. I would expect to see a lot darker line by now too :(

It's so confusing, I'm sorry @Tor88, I try to keep positive until my period but usually fail at actually doing that. I'm cd 16 and a bit confused, usually get a bit of a rise, one dark line that's 1+ then it drops quite quickly but this month it's quite different. Guess I'll keep up my hobby of testing 😅

Although the strips can be helpful i never found them that great aside from having a rough idea of when i ovulate. I don't bother with the strips anymore as I find that cervical mucus is usually a good indicator instead and you can tell just from when you wipe so it's very easy. Could that be a good indicator for you if the ovulation tests aren't giving a clear result?

Ok today's test is also negative. EFF all these symptoms. I am definitely out.

Tor88 · 31/01/2026 11:15

How's everyone doing?? I feel like I'm going slightly insane. BFN yesterday at 10dpo, but I had a random nosebleed (never happens), have had tonnes of watery cm and today I feel nauseous! I'm out of tests so haven't tested this morning but gonna have to go buy one. But in all 3 previous pregnancies I would have been positive by yesterday, feel like I'm imagining all these symptoms and sending myself loopy🫠

Hi guys I got faint positives this morning on Clear blue and first response. My private dr has given me progesterone.
im only 10dpo so very early days. I bled on my chemical at 11dpo in December. Also have high NK cell cytoxicity. So I’m feeling very nervous, because my dr said i would likely need ivf for a successful pregnancy 🥺 I’m hoping the progesterone helps x

Congrats! Hopefully the progesterone does the trick! Fully understand the anxiety, just take one day at a time ❤️

@mumofro private because I've already got 1, NHS won't help me now. I also did private testings after 2 miscarriages before my first, IMO it was totally worth it because the results got me on the pathway for NHS IVF (which I didn't need in the end) and progesterone pessaries to support my next pregnancy... It was £470 to test us both at kings fertility clinic

Negative again today, 10dpo, and got hideous period cramps, so just want period to arrive now so I can move on from this month. One more cycle to go before our first round of testing for possible IVF 🙃😅

Is your testing via NHS or are you going privately? I am due to next see the recurrent miscarriage unit in June, however it feels like it’s forever away, and kind of thinking to just go privately now…

I had a negative this morning. 9dpo period due Monday/ Tuesday.
Feels like I can see something but probs have line eyes 😂

Can’t really tell from the photo. In my last pregnancy I could’ve sworn I saw something the night before (thought I was going crazy 😂) and then was faintly positive the next morning so fingers crossed!! 🤞

ThatMintMember · 29/01/2026 16:40

I'm very much just in the run up to our first try this year and being productive with the time. I'm doing some pre-nesting 🤣 i get horrific morning sickness so it's best to start with a clean house before it all gets neglected. I'm also exercising and attempting to lose some weight, it can only help and it'll be good for my mental health too! This is all just incase i get pregnant but it'll all stop if I do haha.

Tor88 · 29/01/2026 15:15

@mumofro yeah I do, I do BBT and clearblue digital ovulation sticks AND opks just for good measure 😂😂

mumofro · 29/01/2026 13:15

Do you all track your BBT? X

mumofro · 29/01/2026 13:15

So tricky to tell in a picture, fingers crossed for you - maybe too soon to show up? At least we’re all similar cycles, so can lean on each other !!

same also negative, 9dpo which sounds early but 4 days til AF so I'm sure that means I'm out - given the ultra earlys say it's 99% accurate at this point! Haaaaate this part of this process

CrazyKJ · 29/01/2026 09:45

Also negative this morning, don’t know why I do it to myself 🙈 Only 9dpo so could still go either way, that being said I don’t feel preg so I suspect it’s not going to be our month X

mumofro · 29/01/2026 09:24

Hi lovelies. Negative test this morning 10dpo. How crappy is this journey :/ I can’t focus on anything else at the moment!! How’s everyone getting on x
