thanks gr33dy.

mrsjupiter thats a long af hopefully your body getting ready for a new pregnancy though. hope antibiotics kick in soon and can get back om the road to ttc.

i had to poas this morning needless to day was bfn ha. ovia says poas in 8 days going by the red blood so hurry up 8 days.

mollym14 · 01/02/2015 11:38

MsJ I'm on CD 7 of first AF post mc and also still spotting, it's annoying. Hope yours ends soon. This has been my weirdest period ever, but amazingly without any pain at all, first time that has ever happened. Too much to hope for that that might continue for future AFs?!

mollym14 · 01/02/2015 11:41

ginger try to stay strong and wait until ovia tells you to test. You're only torturing yourself by testing so early. I've been there though, I know it's really hard. I had to get DH to hide the tests where I couldn't find them so that I wasn't tempted!!

gingerbreadmam · 01/02/2015 14:19

i know molly werent too bad today as i know far too early even if i was pregnant just hope af makes itself known at the right time so i'm not given real false hope. i have already decided if not pregnant this month i am going to forget about ttc and let ir happen when it happens and concentrate on loosing weight instead

chasingtherainbow · 02/02/2015 08:00

22 days till next ovulation.

Story of my life

ttc after mc- the best shit place to be! #3

mrsdiddlydoo · 02/02/2015 08:39

Hahaha chasing! I'm somewhere just before all that. The crazy have I, will I, won't I ovulate??!!?!?!?!? Followed by being convinced I haven't.

4th day of flashing smiley. Driving me nuts now. Last month got nothing. Feel like i'm ov now. Gonna have to dig some ic out. My cycles have definitely been messed up by the last mc more than before.

mrsdiddlydoo · 02/02/2015 09:27

OK house is a mess but found ic and it was positive so feeling less bonkers. There should be an emotion for crazy TTC lady. What would that look like?

MrsEvansAlmost · 02/02/2015 10:33

hello Ladies, hope you all had a good weekend!

after what can only be described as a hellish week with dp not being on board with sticky bean and car trouble and taking an unneeded day of work did to it all, he now come round!! it's like being with a different person!!! keeping fingers, toes and everything I can crossed for you ladies xx

Hi ladies, not having a happy start to the week. I realised that if everything had gone like it was meant to is have been starting my maternity leave today.

The curse of being someone who plans everything out. If/when I get a BFP there will be no planning ahead till at least the 20 wk scan to save me some of this heartache.

chasingtherainbow · 02/02/2015 12:24

Oh north..I am an epic planner and stationery fanatic and seem to have a bit of a "if I'd have still been pregnant I'd be finishing work in x time" too.

Big hugs for you xxx

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 02/02/2015 12:37

Hello ladies.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, my first ad after the erpc really hit me like a tonne of bricks and I took a little break.

I have thought of you guys often and hope you're all as well as can be expected.

I've really gone and fucked up. I'm afraid to say that I was always someone who scoffed at ladies testing early but yesterday, five days before af is due, I did an ic and there's a faint bfp. I did another last night, one this morning and one just now and there are faint but positive pink blocks.

Logically I know that if they aren't false positives it's still only a tiny little thing but Af isn't due for another four days and now I'm crying because I can't think of losing another little one because that's what I've foolishly allowed it to be in my head

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 02/02/2015 12:42

I probably should add that I only think my cycle is 33 days long because I came off the pill and got a bfp 33 days later last year and my first Af after the erpc arrived on cd 33, so really I'm just stupid and clueless and don't know what to think

gingerbreadmam · 02/02/2015 12:55

snoop firstly apologies as i dont know your back story so if i have got this wrong i am so sorry but how many bfps? i think a congratulations is in order!

try not to be scared, i know its easier said than done but you have every chance of a successful pregnancy.

how long ago was your erpc? how are you feeling?

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 02/02/2015 13:01

Thanks gingerbreadman. My erpc was 1st December and af started the 4th January so I guess this is cycle day 30.

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 02/02/2015 13:01

Sorry that should be gingerbreadmam, stupid autocorrect

Gr33dyeggs · 02/02/2015 13:24

Hugs northdown I took most of the info out of my diary but some dates stick in your mind.

snoopy I'm sorry but I don't know what an ic is? If its not a proper pregnancy test perhaps try one? If it is BFP fear is understandable.

mrsEA glad OH has come around.

mrsdiddlydoo · 02/02/2015 13:41

Tentative congratulations snoopy! Do you know when you ov'd? Sounds very very promising to me. Got everything crossed for you that AF doesn't show up. Pregnancy after mc is just different. It can be harder to be yay esp at the beginning.

north what a rubbish thing for a Monday morning. Just sneaks up on us sometimes... Hope the day gets easier for you.

gingerbreadmam · 02/02/2015 13:42

snoopy asked about erpc as i had mine 14 december and i so want to get a bfp this month but thought it may be to soon however your news has given me hope.

are you going try another brand of test for confirmation or hold on a few days?

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 02/02/2015 15:12

Ic is Internet cheapie. I gave the opks and temping a go but I work shifts so gave up.

I think I'm going to wait till I think Af is due and test then. Just very scary, will be devastated if this is a chemical pregnancy.

Gingerbreadmam, there's always hope. I was conceived during my mum's wtf cycle following an erpc way back in the eighties!

mollym14 · 02/02/2015 15:43

snoopy tentative congratulations from me too! Fingers and toes crossed!!

MrsEvansAlmost · 02/02/2015 16:00

and from me snoopy congratulations xx

gingerbreadmam · 02/02/2015 16:10

oh wow thats what i like to hear!

btw u dont think u can get a false positive unless its an evap line in which case it wouldnt appear till ages after and i think usually diff colour. plus u did a few. test again after af date has passed just to be sure. will kp everything tightly crossed for u!

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 02/02/2015 16:32

hey snoopy! good to hear from you, I was worried!
and this is wonderful news. I know you are filled with fear, but this really is good. Just get through the next few days and then the next few and keep going like that.

CarrotPuff · 02/02/2015 17:04

Congrats Snoopy! Your mum had a successful pregnancy after her mc (you wouldn't be here otherwise ), so you have to believe you will too. Try to distract yourself for the next few days (easier said than done, I know...)

Yay MrsE, as everyone here said earlier, he was just panicking. Glad he came around!

and for everyone struggling...

DS has a stinking cold, poor soul. I also have it, but it's not too bad.

Just booked flights home in 3 weeks as a surprise visit for my mum's 50th birthday. As I'm not working at the moment, might as well go see my family. However, will have to train to make a fake smile as there will be definitely talks and hints about my DS needing a sibling

They first said that when we were talking on skype and DS was staring at his baby cousin. This was just after I've noticed brown spotting for the fist time that led to mc

Sorry for the gloom after the exciting news, I hope you ladies have a nice evening
