TTC after recent mc - Thread 2

[woody17]

Hi everyone - I've started the new thread as our original one is nearly full.

I really hope that this is the one where we all get our BFPs and don't have to experience any more heartache.

Oh Brie you didn't wait for me!
Congrats though. I can imagine the fear, I know I will be the same when I finally fall pg again.

I know lol I am not sure what came over me.. Definitely expected a negative so early but bought the twin pack for in a few days. (really didn't know where I was at cycle wise.) Will use it in a couple of weeks to check progress like a true medical professional! Hoping you can feel the same worry soon... In a good way, you know. All we want is a BFP the rest will take care of itself, right?

Thanks munchin, messtins and gary. I hereby gift my Brie stash to you until such Christmas or whenever you do test. You can also have my pâté and thanksgiving booze... Supposed to be drinking up a storm on Thursday night with work. Last pg would have had a glass and a nibble but can see me being paranoid this time, despite the mc not being the work of a soft boiled egg. Gratefully paranoid. Anyway, enjoy.

Sorry for your ov pains GaryB - I have always seen myself as fairly lucky - I always get a kind of ping sensation which hurts like a very pointy pokey punch, then fades with a minute. I have heard some people have a much worse deal though

So excited for you brie even though means waving goodbye to the cheese stash! Are you testing soon Lol - and did you see the lights better in the end.

Oh, and turns out AF hasn't been stalking me at all I got a BFP this morning

Feel scared and excited then scared then happy then excited then scared... Eek!

Eeeeeep bear!!!!!!

I'm really thrilled for you

bagsy your cheese stash

Hurrah - lots of lovely BFPs. Congratulations lilbear and hope you can soon feel more excited than scared.

Thank you messtins am trying! I'm toying with the idea of getting some CBDCI to reassure me of increasing levels - much like BrieMonster I refused to waste a pricey test on what I thought would be a BFN. But then last time, that's what sent me into a spiral of panic.

(Had 1-2 when first got BFP, then week after, the day I knew somehting was up, got another 1-2. And freaked. Next day, mc started. Think now that HCG had been going up as had been getting more and more symptoms, but they started dropping the day before)

Thoughts?

Oh, and lol, last night I dreamed I had a BFP. Maybe dreams can come true?!

Hooray for brie and bear, best of luck x

I have ewcm today, it's 2 weeks since mc bleeding stopped, opk says no though been dtd like mad things though, so I guess we'll see soon enough!

Congrats (whispered of course) to Brie and bear! Yay.

I am just waiting for my first af to come along. Poas yesterday to check all is back to normal and Finally got a bfn. Will be the last one I am happy to see!
But this is why I love this Fred, am so happy for those with bfps and reminds me that all is not lost!

poaches some of the cheese stash thunder has been collecting

Great news on the BFN pink tis a strange world we find ourselves in isn't it?! Thanks for the whispered congrats, it's much appreciated. All is definitely not lost, and fx your next test is a BFP

Thanks James - the way I see it, you can't get pg from a smiley face alone, so keep on dtd and the timing will coincide at some point! ALso - am sure someone else on another thread was saying they found that only certain wees of the day generated a positive on opks...

Hey pink, want a bit of this dolcelatte? You missed this one...

Good sign james - keep at it despite opk I reckon.

Does anyone know when to expect bfn after ERPC? I want one now too!

Woohooooo bear, great news!! Congrats.

Oh oh oh bravelilbear (teeny tiny whispered) congratulations! Loving this little streak - long may it continue!

Might change my name into something with B before af is due. Any suggestions?

Well lol what does your current name mean? Once we know that we can think of ones starting with B :) I may become BumpKitty (sounds like I'm going to kill a cat in a mafia way - I quite like it!)
Congrats bear so pleased for you - I can see me spending loads on CB tests in the future :)
thundercats I read somewhere to test 10 days after ERPC then if it was still positive contact the EPAU as it might mean they left a bit behind. Though I know it took messtins 3 weeks to get BFN so it's another grey area
Big wave to everyone else x

Ahh useful info kitty, thank you. thats why you are going to test after 10 days. So I'm at 8 now- fx for bfn at the weekend.

Ok I have looked at a list of words beginning with B (I'm not well? This is why I have this kind of time on my hands...) and here are some of my favourites:

Baboonish
Balloonfish
Ballyhoo
Bamboozle
Bandy
Bap

(Oo bandybaps?!)

Baroness

Superstitious? Me???
Hello ladies its me

Bonnie baby-maker Belissima!

Wow two BFPs, tentative congratulations to brie and bear

thunder mine took longer than 10 days for a bfn. I tested at 16 days and still got a positive. I didn't do any in the meantime, but got a neg at 25 days. 16 days was a faint BFP though so I wasn't too concerned. If it was stronger I would have called the epu. Just for info.

And also, how did you know? I am actually eating dolcelatte as I type. Spooky!!

Well- you'd nicked the camembert and the Stilton so I figured a bit of dolcelatte would go nicely.

Thanks for the bfn info. Just feel so keen to get back to normal again. We'll see...

thundercats me too - regarding getting back to normal. I am trying to tell myself I won't be TTC till the new year to stop myself getting my hopes up - so far it's not working!

Nice namechange Lol I hope it's lucky for you! And BumpKitty has a nice ring too

Splashed out on the CBDCI and got a 2-3 this morning, which was a really good feeling. I know I'm not out of all the woods yet, but at least, hopefully, I've navigated through the chemical pregnancy one.

BTW does anyone want any port to go with your nice cheese fest? It's staring at me with an evil glint in its shiny bottled eye....

Thunder and kitty, I am so with you on the wanting to be back to normal.

Unfortunately where my dates fall means that if everything goes perfectly to plan, I am expecting a nice BFP on Christmas day. Going to be hard when it doesn't go to plan, as it so obviously won't!

Now, if af would just hurry up and arrive......!
