TTC after MC - nice people in crap times, full of posifrickingtivity

[WillSantaComeAgain]

Welcome aboard ladies (though obviously sorry you have to be here). We're a friendly bunch so come in and plump up a cushion for POAS Fridays and lots of posifrickingtivity. With a few (gentle) fish slaps thrown in for good measure.

Very early days weasel so be kind to yourself. It is understandable you are up and down but things will feel better. So just go with it and treat yourself as much as you can.

Weasel you're probably hormone crashing. It feels so awful. But as thunder said it does get better, eventually.
Don't try to hold it in, just let all the tears come out

Whoop DIY and any other BFP's I may have missed! X

Hugs to angel, can't imagine how you must be feeling today xxxxx

Congrats to DIY xxx

congratulations DIY, brilliant news!

Thinking of you today Angel, I hope you and your family have lots of support. If I could hug you I would X

Thanks everyone, not counting my chickens yet but so happy. Going to try to keep going as normal and just hope for the best.

weasel hugs, look after yourself. I found shopping for some new clothes strangely therapeutic, do whatever cheers you up at all at the moment, and expect it to take time to come to terms with what's happened.

Blinking NOra!! How brilliant is that ladybugs...lots of BFPS!!

DIY - what cycle are you post-MC out of interest?

Weasel - I had a crash around day 3/4 where I couldn't stop crying and it definitely had that hormonal feel where you just can't snap out of it. I feel tons better just a few days later!

I've been to the pound shop to get some tests so I can freely pee to see if the lines are getting lighter (haven't worked or 2 weeks so am proper skint!) So I POAS just now and although line is still there, took a while to show up and is pretty light. I also POAOVS and the line was very similar in darkness, although it showed up a bit faster. Any thoughts? Is one test picking up the others hormones IYKWIM, or are my OV type horrmones kicking in as PG hormones are dropping?

Also still bleeding a bit 9 days post ERPC...normal or not normal? Called the gynae ward and they really couldn't give a shit and told me to call GP.

In other news, I hammered my credit card today and am now trying to hide purchases from other half.........feels a bit good to be bad!

sal, this was cycle 2, a wonderful surprise for us as dd took 18 cycles and the one I mc'd took 6.
Shopping sounds like a good idea. Buy lots of skinny jeans and fitted waist dresses to tempt fate...

How exciting DIY! I tried for a year with my ex-husband, nothing happening (probably the universe telling me the bloke was a complete knob). Had an 'accident' with DF about 18 months ago but that ended in a very early MC less than 24 hours after getting a BFP (was bloody gobsmacked having been convinced I had birds nesting in my womb, but everso slightly relieved at the time as we'd only been together for 6 months), then this little duffer took 6 months, so am hoping that, like you, my bod now knows what to do and will crack on with a keeper very quickly! Will keep everything crossed for you!

That's amazing news DIY, huge congrats! Nothing like a BFP for spreading posifrickintivity!! :-)

I hope everyone else is ok - Weasel, sorry you're feeling so sad. You will feel better, you're right, it's all so new and raw.

Angel, I hope you're surrounded by love on what must be a horrible day. from me too. xxx

Weasel - give yourself time hun - I was desperate to feel better as soon as I could but discovered you can't rush it - give yourself as much time as you need and surround yourself with people and things you love to get through this tough time - huge huge hugs to you xxx

DIY - AMAZING news so great to hear positive stories / outcomes - gives us all hope for the future!! Xx

What lovely people you are. Thank you xxxx

Woohoo for the BFPs.
Alyant my ectopic symptoms were terrible constipation, twingey left handed pains and brown/red spotting. In hindsight I just didnt feel right either. I was tested regularly for beta hcg and initially it was high for dates, then it didnt double properly. The figures were always just out.
Thankfully if you can call it that I miscarried so did really have a lucky escape.
Have you considered that your line might have been an evaporation line?
Ostrich remember that you need to add 2 weeks to a digital test result. It shows weeks from conception not from AF. They can also be up tp 10 days out.

Weasel feeling better really takes time. I felt like I had a black storm cloud attached to me with elastic. It followed me around everywhere. Some days it seemed farther away but it just kept catching up again. Thankfully, every day it got a little further away before it caught me up and I havent actually seen it for a week or two. I feel so much better than I did a month or so ago. {{{hug}}}

saggy what's an evaporation line? I know you're not meant to read the results after too long, but the phantom line was there after about 3 min, wasn't any stronger/weaker/less fictional after 15

Well it's for definite as have done 2 tests this morning: BFP!

Woo!!!!!! Zeu that's great!!! Yay!
Can you remind me what cycle you were on?

Thanks aly! This is cycle 1 after mc, we waited for first af before trying again.

Really hope this one sticks - a bit scared!

Now that gives me hope. Congratulations Zeu!

Yay for Zeux!!!

Congratulations zeux! xx

I have tingly nipples today... Could be ov signs still I suppose, or....

Thanks everyone!

Is anyone else testing today?

Tingly nipples sound promising blackholes - fx!!
