Hi Keys,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to hear of your loss. I can empathise with you being the same dates along.

I'm not really sure about my dates in this cycle as I know it can be all different straight after a miscarriage.

I think Im on day 9 of cycle with first day of period being day 1. I previously ovulated on or around day 16 of my 3 cycles prior to concieving last time. But Ive heard of one lady who ovulated and concieved the day after her period when that wasnt her normal cycle on first one after miscarrige. So thinking along those lines Im trying to DTD every other day this month in case and every day of my previous most fertile week in case im am back to normal already. And see what happens. If not pregnant will use ovulation kits next month so see where I am.

If pregnant again Im thinking I might get a reasurance scan at my local EPU before 12 weeks as it will be so hard waiting till then with what happened before.

Best wishes.

butterflygirl1515 · 27/05/2015 18:05

Thanks ibeka. Best wishes to you.

temperamentalamongcorvids · 28/05/2015 07:11

ibeka don't worry, you didn't.

I've not had a chance to get other tests so peed on a cheapie again this morning and there is definitely a line. Must say I've not had a problem with them before and diagnosed my most recent pregnancies using only ICs so I'm having a rather weaker coffee than usual and trying not to think about it until later. My temperature hasn't dropped either. Symptoms could be either pre-menstrual or early pregnancy, which is how I feel every month, so no clues there!

redredwine4 · 28/05/2015 07:46

Congratulations temp! That sounds like a bfp to me!

Welcome butterfly. What you're feeling is absolutely normal. It's really difficult. But people are getting bfps on this thread all the time. So there is hope for us all

keys27 · 28/05/2015 08:06

temp defo sounds like a positive to me as well get that decafe in girl lol. I wont say congratulations until you post your 3rd line lol but I defo think you are so I will give you a :) xx

Think ive ovulated today had pains yesterday in right side so hot in the night had all windows open and fan on. Got my show Blush this morning. DTD yesterday morning will have to DTD tonight as well I'm so tired though lol.

Even if this does not work out for next few months at least I know my body is working its way back to normal again.

keys27 · 28/05/2015 08:11

butterfly I think if you mc at 9 weeks hun they will give you an early scan in my last pregnancy I had 3 early scans it does give you reassurance but as ive learned never a guarantee I see baby at 9 weeks perfectly fine then a few days after the hb stopped :(. I honestly thought everything was fine. I personally feel the 12 week wait is so much worse than the 2 ww lol. I dunno if I will go for scans again as it upset me to much seeing the image of baby before i lost baby :( but everyone is different and everyone copes differently thats why this forum is so good because we have all had different experiences and advice.

Good luck huni I am hoping you get your bfp very soon. Big hugs

keys27 · 28/05/2015 10:03

Little deflated here :(. I took cheap hpt yesterday was completely negative I am now 18 days past my d and c. Took another one today and line come out faint positive also done a clearblue 2 days ago said not pregnant now its saying pregnant 1-2 weeks so why are my hormones rising again :(. It not fair just want it to be back to normal now :(.

keys27 · 28/05/2015 10:59

Sorry guys gave you the wrong info there in a panic :(.

I had a mc now 10 days ago at 13 weeks however baby stopped at 9 weeks. Started bleeding on the 16th May had d+c on 17th May. Done cheap test yesterday and was negative so was the clear blue digital. Was just about to leave for my doctors appointment took my last clear blue just to be certain it came up pregnant 1-2 weeks even though it has already given me a negative.

I know I am not pregnant again that's impossible only 10 days after a m/c but has anyone heard of hormones rising once getting a negative? Doctors sending me for bloods but I am very worried something is wrong.

DisneyMillie · 28/05/2015 12:54

keys I don't have any answers I'm afraid but really hoping it all gets sorted soon for you.

Welcome butterfly - I'm sorry for your loss. Everyone's lovely and supportive on here.

I'm now Cd8 and got a high today on the cbfm. So I'm hoping that means I'm getting back to normal this cycle (this I normally ov day 11/12 ish). Now just got to convince DP he really wants to dtd constantly for the next week! I'm interested to see how long it takes to get a peak on the monitor after the high reading - it was purchased with an attempt to feel some control!

How are my cycle buddies doing?

Adventuregame · 28/05/2015 15:16

8 weeks today since my ERPC. Feels strange.

driftingclouds · 28/05/2015 15:21

temp that sounds very promising-congratulations! Hope it's a very sticky bean for you

butterfly welcome to the group, hope your stay here is short

keys I'm not sure what that means tbh, could it be a variation in sensitives of tests? Sorry it's so confusing for you-it's a horrible time, especially when you want to just get going again with ttcFlowers

disney yay for a high! Will be interested to see how you get on with the cbfm. Sounds good that all is getting back to normal.

Cd9 here, trying to maintain positivity this cycle! No signs of anything happening but I wouldn't expect it either. Made the decision to stop additional B vits last night-panicked after reading stories of them delaying/preventing ovulation eek! So decided not to mess around with things and just sticking to pregnacare. Got baby bombed last night and determined just to be happy for them....

Can I ask, how does everyone approach dtd in the fertile time? Like aiming for every other day, or every day when it seems like ovulation is close? Am torn-think I would like to aim for every other day for the whole cycle (but we might not make it!) although I always panic about not doing it daily over ovulation....interested in thoughts and experiences from any lurking pregnant ladies! Thanks ladies, hope you are all having a good day

CarrotVan · 28/05/2015 15:29

Oh mummyofone I'm so, so sorry. I think we were on the same antenatal bus for nanoseconds before this happened to both of us.

butterfly my EPU will do blood tests every other day for a week to check hormone levels are rising properly and a reassurance scan after a MC.

thelionsleeps · 28/05/2015 16:11

Well I went to the gp yesterday who referred me to epu to check out why pregnancy tests still positive. Had a scan on a little machine and there were 2 babies one with a definate heartbeat.

I was in tears. I have to go tomorrow to have a full scan and I don't think there was a hb on the second but she was using a mini scanning machine. I'm think I'm in complete shock and all I can think about is the wine I have been drinking but I can't change that. If it is all ok tomorrow I will be nearly 12 weeks and it will be a bloody miracle.

Adventuregame · 28/05/2015 16:28

Oh lion - what a turn of events ! Your head must be all over the place !!!

CarrotVan · 28/05/2015 16:29

Oh my god Lion. How amazing! That's incredible news

thelionsleeps · 28/05/2015 16:35

I just can't believe it and I had no symptoms at all since what I thought was a miscarriage. Not even tired! Just feel abit stupid for not going to epu after we got home from holiday but from the blood, the clots and the pain I honestly thought no way was I still pregnant.

It will be a miracle if it all works out.

Adventuregame · 28/05/2015 16:42

lion keep us posted on what the scan shows. I suppose it could have been triplets and you miscarried 1 ? There are lots of stories on these threads of ladies who have had lots of bleeding and not lost the baby so looks like you're one of them. so so please for you. What a lot to take in ! Was your DH at scan with you ?

thelionsleeps · 28/05/2015 16:45

No I went by myself as I thought worst case maybe some retained products and certainly wasn't expecting that. I don't think he could quite take it in when I called him. We are both going tomorrow for a more detailed scan when we should know a bit more.

Adventuregame · 28/05/2015 16:48

Lion I can't tell you how happy this has made me to read this today. My ERPC was exactly 8 weeks ago and I've been feeling very down but this has put a smile on my face. I think it's the thought of how shocked your face must have looked when you saw the scan !! What wonderful news ! Here's hoping it goes smoothly from here although obviously if one doesn't have a heartbeat I don't know what the procedure is ?

Adventuregame · 28/05/2015 16:49

Sorry lion that sounded a bit matter of fact and wasn't meant to at all !! I'm typing quickly at work !

Romeolovesjuliet · 28/05/2015 16:57

Wow lion that's amazing. Hope the scan tomorrow can tell you more. I had extremely heavy bleeding with my DD (running down my legs - sorry) and was convinced I was miscarrying but she hung on in there.
temp congrats - have you taken another test yet?
drifting I use the cbfm and my plan is always to DTD eod until I get a peak then do both days of the peak but actually this month we only managed eod which was one of the reasons I thought we weren't in with a chance. It's best to find something you can stick to I guess - we were exhausted as we had started too early in the cycle which is why we missed my first peak this month.

keys27 · 28/05/2015 17:09

Oh wow I knew you were preggers lion I just didnt wanna get your hopes. Im so happy for you I really am.

drifting DTD every other day atm hun. Last time was yesterday morning and I am ovulating now got my show but doubt I will fall this month as hormones seem to be playing tricks on me to top it off got my pregnancy symptoms back feeling exhausted that taste in mouth snappy its horrible the tricks your body plays on you. Plus im so tired I need to leave it tonight try in the morning.

disney Thanks huni. How are you feeling now? Better for getting your first cycle out the way? Your dtd is nearly here again aswell thats come round quickly remember you posting that your af had hit.

Roll on next month so I can get some closure on this heartbreak and hopefully hormones will stop playing tricks on me.

DisneyMillie · 28/05/2015 18:28

lion that's absolute fabulous news!! I had my suspicions you might get a good surprise - so pleased for you.

keys I've been feeling ok the last few days - positive and hopeful.

drifting I'm going to dtd every other day now I've got a peak for the next week / until I get a low on the monitor unless I can persuade DP to do more!! He's not great at every day but I might manage to convince him over the weekend when he's no as tired.

MarysPrayer · 28/05/2015 19:40

Lion, what a turn up! That's great news. I really, really hope that the next scan shows the second heartbeat too. I used to secretly hope that my mc was all a big mistake and I was just one of those rare cases where you have a heavy bleed but still stay pregnant.

Sorry to those who are having a tough time,
Ibeka Flowers
