First cycle trying after MC. AF/BFP due Wednesday 15th....too nervous for words!

[angelgabe]

I started this same thread in December and was lucky enough (after 7 months!) to get pregnant with our first. Unfortunately I had a mc just before Christmas at 5 weeks. Cycle was a bit erratic at the start but looks like I ovulated at my normal time and BBT has risen. I'm almost certain I won't be lucky enough to get pregnant straight away after mc but I thought starting a thread like last time might help!!

Just bloody POAS for some reason. Managed to squeeze out a few drops (literally about 20ml!) to test with. Obviously got a BFN. Don't know why I just did that. Went against my own superstitions. Feel like an idiot!

Baxter, we all do it. 11 dpo is usually far too early anyway! It ain't over until AF arrives!

To be honest i have never felt when i have ovulated i had been on the pill constant and overlapped never wanted a period lol so when i fell pg in the aug it was a shock!!! And it wasnt until 6 weeks into pg i found out i was pg, so had no symptoms just a very late af!!

So earlier in jan before af came i didnt notice if or when i had ovulated i went with what a stupid app told me and i never done any opk's.... So this time i thought i would since it was a bfn 3 weeks ago!

As expected on a normal 28 day cycle id be ovulating this sunday... So will continue you to test and dtd everynight now from tonight so i dont miss it.
Prev cycle after mc was 37 days then 34 days... So no idea where i'm sitting at at the mo! So frustrating :(

So for the past two nights I have been woken because I have Such an awful achey belly .... All periody ... It's making me queezy ...

I hope this is a good sign .... Or else I am gearing up for my first ad after miscarriage to be terrible

10 dpo today. I never knew time could move so slow. I am trying to hold out and only POAS after the weekend but it is going to be difficult. Still, last time I POAS'd at 9dpo and got a bfn and at 13dpo and got bfp so I do not want to POAS too early.

Hello lovely ladies,
Having more boob pain today, funny bumps around the nipples and cramping. But the cramping feels just like AF. but for some reason I feel remarkably positive and happy. I just can't help feeling that everything will work out. Anyway, AF is due tomorrow or Sunday and i would not be surprised if it turned up bang on time. I keep checking cos I think it has come early.

The waiting is the worst isn't it. I just want to know either way so I can get my head around another month of all of this

Baxter, keeping everything crossed for you! Glad you feel positive!

everything crossedbaxter

the waiting is the worst...

I just feel achey the whole time...like dragging pains....I am dreading next week...

The waiting part should be illegal lol! And it should be shorter lengths of times for this malarky....
Cd13 and seem to have ovulated yet as had negative opks all week, still early i suppose. Still dtd most nights 17 days due to next cycle, so i still have that dreaded 2ww ahhhhhh

Morning ladies, how is everyone today? Any updates? Here nothing to report. No AF but its only due on Tuesday and I am waiting it out. Have had some pain in ovaries and surrounding areas since Fri and was sure AF was about to make an appearance this weekend but so far nothing. It's strange because I never get any pains when AF is due, it just arrives and before I started ttc it surprised me every month as I was really bad at keeping track of my cycles. So these pains which should be AF related are not usual signs for me that it is about to arrive. Ah the wait, makes my brain work overtime!!!

I got my first positive opk this
Morning around 10am!! but dp is at football all day and not home until tonight, what if i miss it!!!
We dtd early hours of friday morning around 1am... But that was all this weekend because hes been pissed and fallen asleep lol...

So what do i do now? What is my chances?

Babytinks, I wouldn't worry if I were you. If you got a positive today then you probably will Ov tomorrow so dtd tonight will be perfect. Also remember that sperm can live for quite a few days so If you dtd on Fri they may just be hanging around waiting for your egg to drop. Good luck!

Thank you swedeaway! I donno why i'm panicking scared to miss it lol!

I'll do another opk tonight to ensure its still dark lines if not then i will be so upset but hopefully!!

So i done a opk yesterday afternoon and it was negative, one this morning and it was positive and then again now and its negative wtf!!??

Hi girls,

Sorry to gate crash, I've been following your comments and, for the first time ever on one of these sites, decided to respond. Hope you don't mind.

I had a miscarriage a couple of weeks ago and we've just been trying to get pregnant again (pretty sure I ovulated today). Really hoping for a BFP on 16th Feb and keen to find out how you all do :-)

Babytinks, I'm pretty sure a +OPK is usually difficult to catch, so only seeing one positive between two negatives is normal, the LH surge is really brief for most women. I believe it means that you ovulate 12-36 hours after you see the +OPK and then have up to 24 hours on top of that for the egg to be fertilised, so you should be fine :-)

Really hoping to hear that you all get your BFPs soon!!

Evening folks. Why is it that you, one minute, think you have recovered emotionally from a miscarriage, then you feel crap again!!! Mine started on Dec. 30th....only just 5 wks preg. Bled for 2weeks, very light bleed, now on CD 35 and still no first period after miscarriage. I have never been this late before.......is this normal after such an early miscarriage? Haven't got a clue if I ovulated or not...Responses would be very much valued. Tried to post on main message board but it seems very cliquey on there! Thank you, in advance.

Hi girls need some advice.... Just dtd with the dp, and i was on top, then rolled over to missionary position before he ejac'd! I read to keep my legs up and hips raised afterwards which is what i done for 10 mins or so.... Then went to the loo, but when i went to the loo a clot of blood fell out me and when i wiped myself it was pinky blood all over..... I'm only cd14 had a positive opk this morning then a negative again tonight then this? Im quite worried as never happened before :-s

morning!

Well I think award for most bizarre symptom comes t me..I have not long woken up sobbing and my arm hurting ..dh came into kitchen to see if I was crying cos af started ....noo..because you left us last night and hurt my arm and said that you wouldn't see our ds until October til payment was due....cue his face and him hugging me and generally like wtf...

anyway I am fine now ..ish...it was just soo vivid I woke up sobbing..but I ma guessing that October is me fretting that I will get a bfp as that would be due month...and my arm hurting must have been me sleeping on it....because my dh is a lovely man who would never do any of those horrible things in rl.

welcome aquastinks...it's a nice haven in here....

babystinks I dunno what that pink could have been ..maybe your cervix was rubbed a bit to hard..?

swedeaway...baxter and others ...how you all doing?

this is the week we all will know...I wish I could just fast forward it....my dh booked us a few days away next week ...so something to look forward too....that's if he's not left

Tigger - I'm the exact same. Started bleeding dec 30th at 5+2, now cd35. Never had a cycle this long either. Although ff has given me a ov date I'm unsure. Clinging into hope. But also I've resigned myself to the fact it might not happen and AF could indeed come. In which case I'll probably have a good cry. I'm just fed up of this long cycle and want to move onto the next phase! Wether that be a BFP or AF. Hope your wtf cycle is over soon x

Hello All,

Tigger, English these WTF cycles are so frustrating aren't they. I felt so lucky I went back to normal with my cycle quickly. Its the unknown thats the worst isn't it. If you just knew one way or the other you could get on with your life! Unfortunately only time will tell what is going on - I know thats no bloody consolation but it will honestly sort itself out soon. It took me over a month to feel 'normal' again and I mean not burst in to tears every five seconds and actually have a speck of positivity in me. And that was with a very early MC and a 27 day post MC AF so god knows how I would have been if it dragged on for longer or I had been any further along in the PG. PLease feel free to vent here. It has really helped me cope with my feelings over the past few weeks.

Aqua welcome. Sorry you have found yourself here but fx for some positive news soon

baby do not worry...you have done all you can to catch the egg.

Tutti vivid dreams eh? I have been plagued with them since ovulation. Including one I had yesterday where I was PG!

So...AF was due on Sat/Sun (I usually have a very regular 27 or 28 day cycle). And no show . I did a IC yesterday afternoon but it was BFN - I should say here (sorry TMI) but I suffer from an overactive bladder - I go to the loo often and only a very small amount comes out each time so I really should wait until FMU to get an accurate results, especially this early. Last time we got a BFP it was on CD31 and even then it was quite a faint line (was an evening wee too). Basically I am trying to hold out to test (part of me is still thinking AF will show).

DH does not want me to test FOR TWO WEEKS !!!!! He says even if it is BFP I will worry so much until I get further along that I wont be able to concentrate (I have big exams coming up in 2 weeks and really need to focus on revision). Plus he doesn't want the heartache of another MC and would just like to think of it as a late AF if I do start bleeding. Anyway I told him he could hide the stash of tests so I can't just do a sneaky one when he is at work soooooooooooo I have no idea whats happening. I keep having very mild cramping and occasional boob pain but that is it. I have never been late before, apart from when we flew to Australia in the summer when I was a couple of days late but figured my body clock was all over the place with the timezone change. It could of course be another way the MC is messing with me (even tho I had a normal cycle last time) - I did bleed for an extra couple of days this time but seemed to OV on time.

AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! What do you girls think? I feel I can't get my hopes up because my body has been so cruel to me recently I can't imagine suddenly I would have the best luck in the world.

Baxter I feel weirdly calm. I'm due AF/BFP on Friday (if I did indeed ov) so as much as I'll be tempted to test, I'm also in two minds as to leave it until the following Friday. I'm so nervous of having another mc.
It sounds positive for you, but I totally get how you and your DH feel about leaving it for a while before testing, especially if you have a big exam.
This TTC after a mc is such a rollercoaster and only people in the same boat really get it.

I spoke with a friend who's pg (at the same stage I would have been) yesterday and all she's doing is moaning about how sick and tired she is. I want to feel sick and tired! She just doesn't know what to say.

Hideous isn't it, English? Clinging onto hope with dear life! My boobs are on fire and I am shattered. Last time, I just knew though. This time, if I am honest, I think it is not going to happen. I tested when AF would have been due last Mon but BFN. I am just going to hold on. Let me know how things go. Did you billed for long during MC? Mine went on for 2 weeks!!!!!

I have zero symptoms, at this point with my BFP I had really sore boobs, this time, nothing!!
I really didn't bleed for long at all which I why I'm pissed off at the long cycle. I only really bled for 4 days, like a normal AF but more crampy.
Only thing goin for me is a temp dip at 8dpo and two rises yesterday and today! Hope it continues to climb and stay up but I've prob jinxed myself now!

tigger I had a shitty WTF cycle, symptom wise. My boobs were like swollen melons that someone was attacking with a red hot poker, night sweats, cramping etc etc. i could have sworn I was PG if it wasn't for AF turning up bang on time. To be honest no one can predicit it, anything can happen including a BFP. good luck! x

Sounds shitty, but, I guess, for a lot of us, the only way to deal with the MC a little better is to get up-duffed sooner rather than later! Stating the obvious, I know. I got pregnant the last time, after fifteen years of infertility by, basically, giving up. Although I was on a mission to get super fit and lost loads of weight. I was 9 wks gone before I realised a miracle had occurred. There are so many unknowns in this game, however, I really believe that stressing too much impedes the process. Some aspects of this are totally out of our control. And I think that I need to accept this once more. I am 8 days late today...........but refusing to test!
