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

@mumofro I'm feeling the same 🥺 I did another test this eve (4 today! Evaps have sent me...) and I swore I'd throw it away after 10 mins, it was negative at the 10 minute mark and is now buried in the bin. I'll test again first thing tomo but I think I must be out... I'm either 8 or 9 dpo today so we're on similar schedules. Every time I've been pregnant (3x) it's been a blazing positive by 11dpo... Crazy process isn't it...

How rubbish does it feel ☹️☹️ praying that somehow by a miracle I do a test tomorrow morning and it changes to a positive but I already know I’m out this month. When will you test again @Tor88X

Tor88 · 28/01/2026 20:39

@mumofro mine from today is exactly the same!! 2/3 have an evap, it's obviously got my hopes up but they've both only appeared hours later when I know I shouldn't have looked 🥺🥺 and the third is stark negative. And they claim to be pretty accurate at this point (5 days pre period). UGH.

Also re the above re easy @ home I have also used tonnes of these but I did have an evap last month! It was maddening, I thought it was it but all the tests after were negative and my period came right on time..

Give me the strength to not look again after the timing window ffs

Relooked at my test from this morning and this is how it looks now, bloody clear blue evap lines 😖😖

That's so frustrating! You'd think the expensive tests wouldn't do that.

I've always used the Easy@Home tests from Amazon I've never ever had an evap line (I've taken over 50 tests over the years). I'd recommend them as they're cheaper for when we're taking lots of tests!

@ThatMintMember gosh you poor thing, I had 2 miscarriages before my first and I'm doing EMDR now to try and process one of them as it was verrrrry medically traumatic so I feel you, it's hard going back in for more after that experience, take care of yourself!! And yes we must advise everyone to take the out cold surgical route!! I'm praying I have no more miscarriages in my future but also trying to hold how likely it could be...

Oh yes definitely recommend the surgical route! It got me back on my feet way sooner than the medication route. I'm sorry you've been through similar and hope the EMDR works for you!

I can't say I'm optimistic for trying again, I feel like I'll fall pregnant and then lose it again :( but if I don't at least try I'll never have another baby. I haven't raised my first baby thinking he was my last, I want to do it all again and be a second time parent!

Someone on here asked about aspirin - I took this from day 1 in my only successful pregnancy!! Along with progesterone. So would do both again...

Tor88 · 28/01/2026 19:03

Hi everyone, could I join? Am 6 cycles in to trying for no2. Am 37, had 2 miscarriages before my son so booked in for testing in a few weeks assuming this cycle is unsuccessful (8dpo BFN) to tentatively move towards possible IVF. Am starting to get nervous about what this journey could look like whilst also holding on to the fact that 6 cycles is nothing really and it might just all be fine....

mumofro · 28/01/2026 08:49

9dpo BFN 😞

9 dpo is early - hoping you get your positive soon

Firsttimerugbymum · 28/01/2026 10:51

Hello!

Hoping I can join. TTC number two for two cycles now.

Not very long, but I conceived first time round super quickly so my expectations are a little off.

Since having number 1 my hormones are all out of whack and I tend to get a lot of spotting my concerns me. I'm also still breastfeeding which is worrying me too

BFN on 12dpo so pretty sure I'm out this month

mumofro · 28/01/2026 08:49

9dpo BFN 😞

Ah congratulations!

I got AF today. So back to CD1.

somewhat happy it came as expected as means my cycles are getting back to normal following the mmc.

Sounds positive that your periods are becoming regular again. I had a chemical early December and my period after that was the first normal period I had since my MMC in sept. It made me feel positive about this month coming. Good luck and hopefully this month is your month ❤️

Fingers crossed! I’m 7dpo, AF is due sat or sun so waiting til Friday to test (hopefully!) 😂

Fingers crossed for you!! I am 8dpo today I think, going to try and hold out for 10dpo. Yellow tinge to DC (sorry TMI) but usually happens before period. Not feeling hopeful for this month x

thank you, when will you start testing ? My dilemma is I said I was going to wait until period due/ missed period but also I want to find out asap because I need to go on progesterone x

Thoughts? I have PCOS and long cycles but going off a high reading I got on an ovulation test I think I am 8 or 9 days DPO…. Have felt very nauseous this morning but maybe it’s just from wanting it so much!
