We will try anything! The big fat posifrickintivity thread of TTC after MC

[GuffSmuggler]

A new thread for all you lovely, crazy ladies. Here's to lots of BFPs!

katatonic. Love your link. I was addicted to it last month. Going to try not to symptom spot This month.

On acunpuncture. I love it. Had it weekly after mc now on monthly a week before ovulation. Once I get BFP then will go weekly to try and stop bleeding in pregnancy which I am tortured with.

Someone was asking what day they got BFP. With my only successful preg I did get BFP until day 32 of 28 day cycle from due date ovulated about day 16. With 2 mc got poss results about 11-12 dpo for both. Go figures!!!

alyant. How's 2ww going. You are right about the every other day BD. I told a obs gynae consultant I was doing SMEP and she told me there was no need calm down and i am obviously a nympho. ha ha. Also told me to throw opk in bin as she knows i am ovulating and should only use them if question mark over it as false positives are common as i know. So next month I am temping only as I didn't tell her I was doing that.
emki if your lurking About hope your doing ok.
Congrats to the BFP today.

Seaside - your friend lost both tubes? How horrific. Did she have her three children through IVF? Am starting to think we ought to look into it - sigh. Am feeling miserable this month and that I'll never be able to have more children. The baby I lost through the ectopic would have been due st the end of this month so am feeling miserable tonight.

Misspositivity - it was me asking how soon people got their BFPs - thanks for responding. I am stupidly clinging to hope that I've just tested too early. AF due on Sunday but surely if I was preggo a test would have picked it up by now. Not even a sniff of a line. Sigh.....

badhair. Could be still too early. Really depends when you ovulated and implanted. Your still in with a chance until the evil AF makes an appearance. Fingers crossed. Sorry your feeling down. The due date will be a sad day for us all. It's hard to be positive all the time isn't it?
There is nothing to stop you looking into other ways and means and keep TTC. Big hugs.

Congratulations to Sapphire. I was beginning to think fertile Friday was all washed up!

congratulations sapphire
missp can I ask how the accupunture has helped with bleeding? I'm now 7 weeks (and still to afraid to move to the graduates thread). I had some red bleeding yesterday and thought it was all over. I had a checkup today at epc and apparently everything looks fine baby wise. Turns out I have some cervical erosion and thats where the fresh blood is coming from. im booked in for another scan next week. Im glad to know where its coming from but its still making me very nervous

Hey nearly. I have bled all three pregnancies Apparantly acu has some great results in stopping spotting etc. it was an erosion in my first pregnancy and I totally understand how scary it is. I bled so heavily the nurse told me it was game over and scan showed a bouncing baby. My bleeding stopped at about 14 weeks. Ask them to keep scanning you each week for re assurance. Natural to be nervous be it's good news it's an erosion.

Hi to everyone and welcome to the newbies, sorry you find yourselves here. Great news on this thread recently, I haven't posted in a while as have had a manic week at work.
Crazy alert thought, haven't said this to anyone in RL yet but even though we only DTD 4-5 days before ovulation, I have a feeling I'm pregnant, I can't shake it. Definitely crazy, as the chances are very slim, we meant it that way.as dh still doesn't have a new job and we decided not to try for a while till he got something....
I had very sharp poking pains in one ovary area last week, about 8dpo, then from the last 3 days or so have felt sick in the mornings. Tingly boobs also, along with odd feelings in my abdomen.

Someone hit me with a fish though cause stupidly I used an opk as the only sticks I have in the house and it showed the faintest of lines for pos opk, which is what happened last.time I was pregnant. Aunt flo due on tues or poss weds, so we shall see....
Dh will be alternately happy and worried I think, as is really fed up with the work situation. We really thought we were safe!
Right, off to feel a bit sick again, I did however drink last night, living in denial...I am going to feel very silly when AF arrives aren't I? This is what TTC does, sends usually rational people into madness! All symptoms can be explaine by other things of course, but I kind of feel like it might be the law of sod working against.me...or for me......

Hi all, I've not been on here much lately, as it's been manic, but have been reading all your heartbreaking stories.

Like Sapphire, I want to contribute re-installing faith in the Fertile Friday - I tested yesterday and got a BFP I really didn't expect this, I had written this month off already. But then my temp just kept staying up, in spite of getting later and later in my cycle.

I'm going from feeling giddy to petrified/numb. Third time lucky? I really really hope so... Have to resist the temptation of keeping my calendar empty around the 8 week mark But just realised that's when my mum is coming to visit... Not sure if that's a good or bad thing!

Congratulations Jbrd - fabulous news!

Misspositivity - thanks for the kind words. I feel a bit better today. Tested again and got a BFN again as expected so am going to treat myself to a few cold glasses of wine this eve. F*ck it - I'll just have to go for it this month. At least I can drink at all the end of term piss ups, eh?

Seaside - I know what you mean about being scared your body might mess up again. It d

Oops - does make me think its a miracle anybody ever gets born sometimes.

Hope all you lovely ladies are enjoying the sunshine!! X

Congratulations Jbrd !!

badhairday there is still a chance, with my first pregnancy I had BFP 2 days post AF date and with this mc BFP was 4 days before AF due !!

I accidentally threw away the holder for my clearblue digital ovpk - so now I have plenty of sticks but no holder to test. CM check seems to suggest that I may be ovulating or close to it. So now I've been googling about TTC before first AF, which is giving me mixed info. I do remember the doctor saying after the scan that its good to wait so that the lining of the uterus can shed one more time. So i'm going into my paranoid mode now.

Hi everyone,
Not been on for a couple of weeks but congrats to guff, sapphire and Jbrd and anyone else I've missed. Fingers crossed for you missmakes stuff.
Tested this morning (13dpo I was guessing) as too late for work yesterday and BFN despite high hopes, then literally 2 mins later felt crampy and bloody AF when wiped!
This is not v positive but why bfn??!! Working back if this is 14dpo we'd have have doen the deed 3,1 days before and day of ov. Anyway moan over, went for a long run and have taken vits today ready for July. We are away for 3 wknds this month, all nice things so at least I can have wine :-)

Congratulations JBrd great news.
Thanks MissP that's good to know. Still bleeding bright red today, Dr did warn that it would bleed after he took a swab but I didn't expect it to go on as long. In my last pregnancy I bled every week from 6 to 12 but no one actually thought to check for cervical erosion. I have goggled a local fertility acupuncture place so will give them a call on Monday.

Yay jbrd wonderful news!!

Congrats sapphire, jbrd, cam!!! Amazing news! (Although a small sardine for cam too, made smaller because I loved the real time updates on your BFP and the fact that you waited to ask for permission before poas on a Thursday!!) So lovely to have some good news and keeping my fingers crossed tightly for all three of you.

Went to my first acupuncture appt on Thursday which was really good - in part because it was a chance to talk to someone who's not at all involved in my life about how I'm feeling etc, and in the process I realised quite how wound up I am by, well, everything - and came out at the end feeling resolved to make some time for myself to stop and be still and just BE rather than constantly rushing around doing things every second of the day. And the treatment itself - acupuncture and shiatsu massage - left me feeling very chilled out and I went straight home afterwards and went to bed with a cup of camomile tea and my book, about an hour earlier than usual. So all in all a success in terms of making me feel better - going back every week for the next few weeks, and the plan is to see if she can make my cycles shorter and more regular. emki, if you're lurking, thank you so much for the tip - the acupuncture lady is lovely!

Sorry to see all the newbies and alice so sad for you that you're back here. But this is a lovely thread and it's cheered me so much on this crazy ttc mission.

So this month's project desperate for me includes: acupuncture, drinking pink grapefruit juice, using conceive plus and temping...and sex every other day based on everyone's doctors' recommendations!!

(PS. AF arrived last Sunday - so much for my 'symptoms' - had a horribly emotional weepy day - but have picked myself up again now.)

Enjoy the sunshine today ladies! And sorry for mammoth post, that's what happens when I haven't been on for ages! X

Congrats jbird on your news, that is lovely. I told dh today about my odd feelings and he seemed pleased. Fingers crossed for Tuesday, will be astounded if Not Trying has actually resulted in a bfp, although now I have said it out loud I am sure that has jinxed it.

That must be a worry nearly I hope things settle down soon. Were you the one doing c25k? Are you still running if so?

Thanks Triplespin but I think I'm out for this month. I only had a very small glass of wine though (so guess I haven't TOTALLY given up all hope....) Managed to eat a humongous mountain of Chinese food though, prompting my DP to raise his eyebrows and ask if I was eating for two....cheeky git!

hi missmakes its awful tbh. I felt so sick and tired today combined with the bleeding and I just wanted to cry. telling myself that its not detrimental to the pregnancy only helps a little. sorry to moan.
I was doing c25k but stopped last week when I had the first bleed. I actually really miss it! Thinking positively I will start again in feb after new baby arrives

Cross everything not your legs for me girls! AF due tomorrow. My random spotting last week lasted 3 days then stopped and currently I haven't had any of my usual pre AF symptoms. touch wood I'm sure ill jynx her into appearing now, but I'm hanging onto hope... by my fingernails

saggy everything crossed (incl legs) for you. are you going to test tomorrow or wait until Friday?

I'm going to wait. I've been late before, so a few days won't matter, and I'm ignoring until then. I get like this every month or so, and then AF hits. It's almost nice to have a day or two of optimism before it all comes crashing down!

Hi hi hi!

Living all the BFPs although very green with jealousy!!

Had a great time yesterday at the Olympic Park at an all day music event with Vampire Weekend and Mumford and Sons. I managed to knock back half a dozen vodka and lemonades and 10 fags (gave up a year ago) and it felt great to let my hair down and feel like I did 10 years ago before all this TTC and grown up bollocks!

Currently heading back to Plymouth in a car with no air con with feet out the window. DH thinks he's spending the afternoon watching the tennis....well, he's got a little 'job' to do first!!

My sister was talking to her SIL about babies and she lived in Hong Kong for years and all her friends were TTC in their 40's and as they had private medical out there were prescribed a drug (I would imagine its clomid) and all got knocked up, many with twins! My sis is gonna find out what drugs it was for me....,,

Thoughts on self-prescribing to win a baby...?

Hello all, isn't this sun glorious! We have spent the day at the park after doing race for life, all the signs on peoples backs made me very tearful, I am very emotional, which can either be symptoms of pregnancy or AF!
Your day sounded great Sal, even though af due on tues I have been drinking as.it is summer and it would be rude not to. There isn't any crossing over even if there is a chance of a bfp anyway.at this early stage, I don't worry about it. Was pretty cavalier with dd too actually, I hope I can be as relaxed the next time round but I am sure having the mc will make me more nervous.
nearly I am sure you will be able to get back to running, I would probably have stopped too, currently I am on week 4 but I skipped a week when I had.my period last as I felt wretched, hoping when if af arrives this time I can get through the week, it is getting harder but feels good, I want to be able to run for 30mins three times a week, I have lost a few extra lbs doing it too, hope that keeps up!
I have lots to keep busy with till Tuesday, will test Fri if af not here but never been late before so will need so serious threats of fish throwing! I still have a feeling but not so sicky this morn, still tired but that could be work and those opk having a line got my hopes up but I think was just an odd lh surge. I have one stick left to pee on, will try to hold back!
Right, off to bath dd and plan a Viking day activity for yr 8 tomorrow, plus urban arts on weds, trip on.thurs and tonnes more to do besides, hopefully all taking my mind of poas!
