TTC after miscarriage - lucky thread number 3

[Brenna24]

Still hopeing for 3x3 BFPs for this month. Hopefully thread 3 will do that.

Lucky I'm so sorry enjoy your wine and coffee . Fx for third time lucky. Your EPU sounds v helpful. I'm glad you feel calm and you sound very prepared for next time!

No more spotting but I have had cramps. I haven't heard anything back about the blood test so I'm assuming it will be Tuesday for the first results and Wednesday for Tuesday's results. Trying to forget about it, although usually I would have a glass of wine (so desperately want a glass) so consoling myself with chocolate. I think there will be nothing there, I know I feel sick and have sore boobs but fully resigned myself to that it hasn't grown any further and will need medical management. DH keeps talking about the pregnancy but I don't think there is anything there and I don't have the strength to believe in it for it to be over again, I'm already teary enough!

Hoping to see some BFPs this weekend, who else is testing? Loki, I'm made up for you!!

I am so sorry Lucky. I am glad you are feeling ok about it and that your EPAc are one of the good 'uns.

Jo I am still keeping everything crossed for you (although the legs can only stay crossed until Tuesday then I will need to uncross them for this month's TTC efforts).

My day off work started off with 2 hours in work and finished with a text from work. Typical.

Best wishes Jo, stay strong lucky

In so sorry lucky. I hope you get some help and answers soon.
Keeping everything crossed for you, Jo. Really hope it's a positive outcome

I tested again but the line was even fainter than yesterday. I'm guessing it's a chemical. It was fmu but not very concentrate. I don't know if that's a factor or if I'm just wishful thinking. I guess I've just got to wait for af now.

amy Awww how lovely you have been following us we all look out for each other as we all know the struggles of mc and TTC after having one and then the sheer panic and excitement when you do get them two lines. Keeps me sane this site. Sorry your feeling so crappy hopefully its a sign you've convinced ;) keeping everything crossed for you.

loki Test again later you can not get a false positive so maybe that test didnt have the strongest control lines hun. Keeping everything crossed for you.

lucky so sorry to have read your post :( defo coffee wine pate just indulge whilst you still can. We all know we can fall pregnant and could happen at any time so enjoy the wine and food whilst you can.

Look forward to seeing you guys with us very soon. xxx

Loki the concentration makes a huge difference. THat is why they say to use FMU as it is the most concentrated. It takes a while for the lines to get darker too. Leave it a few days and test again.

Thanks everyone. Was hoping for a lie in but my mind is racing so spent the last hour on mn

Loki try not to drink anything or wee for 5hrs then test. This early on it will be v faint. The hcg levels double every 48-72hrs so you will only start to see a stronger line in a couple of days anyway.

Loki good luck, I hope it works out well for you. It is still early and if your urine wasn't particularly concentrated then that is probably the most likely reason for a faint line. If you can resist it, try to give it a couple of days before you test again so you're not torturing yourself by comparing squinters. In a few days it should be slightly darker. Took a good couple of days after missed AF for me to get a clear line and not a look really hard in the right light line when I got BFP.

Haven't been on the thread for the last week just because it all feels frustrating, like a 29 day groundhog day so just been trying not to think about it. Might take months again (I hope not) and my business is growing but since mc I feel like my mind has been consumed by TTC. Just feeling deflated. Thought I'd drop in today and see how you're all going though. Saw somebody mention 7 BFPs upthread, how exciting! Will go and read back a bit to catch up

Hi everyone- 9dpo here and cramps have gone off today thank god! After my random temp dip yesterday it's gone back up to normal post ov temp now, saw people mentioning on FF forums about implantation dips, did some research, it happens on non pregnancy charts too so don't think it means anything at all. Still feeling tired today. Managed to fall asleep really fast even after my afternoon nap. Don't feel sick anymore but still have a bit of a stuffy nose, positive I had some sort of bug.

Loki like a lot of other said, if your pee wasn't very concentrated the line will be a bit lighter. Try not to focus on how dark it is, I know it's easier said than done. Hcg doubles every 48 hours so give it a few days and it will be darker.

Hope everyone else is ok too...

Mrs you're only 9dpo don't give up hope yet, only 17.3% of hpts done at this point reveal a positive result. Glad your spotting has stopped, are you feeling any better with your bug?

I'm going to try so hard not to test early but not sure if I'll make it or not! I haven't been on Amazon yet but it has crossed my mind a few times and it's only cd10!

Loki I've no experience of tests and lines, as I was ridiculously tight last time and was about 2 weeks late before buying the test. Just wanted to say I have everything crossed for you!

Mrs I'm not thinking I'm pregnant at all, trying and failing not to symptom spot and when I do have any symptoms I'm just pushing it to the back of my mind and getting on. I'm not going to test at all until af is late just because I don't want the disappointment of bfns. It's hard not to drive yourself insane isn't it? I'm thinking that I'm having these little niggles because af is due in about a week and I get back ache about a week before which I have now and my skin goes all oily which again it is today. Glad you're feeling a bit better too xx

I just knew as I had to hold my boobies running up and down the stairs lol. I did test early I think I DTD on the 28th November so ovulated that night. I just knew tbh and tested on the 9th Decemeber was so faint so so faint the one I done 9 dpo was negative 2 days later I got the two lines and that was with a first response. Fingers crossed for you allxx

I'm starting to feel like af is on the way. Because I've been pregnant twice before I know the symptoms I get which is why I tested yesterday. A chemical would tie in with my symptoms. But, I also know how my lines go on the tests. Ive always had a faint positive at 12dpo and then a much clearer positive at 13 dpo, then confirmation on a digital at 16dpo. Ive just done another with a 5 hour hold and not drinking and it was BFN. There may have been a shadow, but not enough to convince myself of anything. On the bright side, I didn't think I was in with a chance anyway because we hardly dtd and ovulation went to pot. If it was a chemical, I'm glad it happened now. I could also have been an evap line, although I always thought the were grey instead of pink? Perhaps my body isn't quite ready yet? I don't know. Above all, when I thought I was pg, I was thrilled. So at least I know when it finally happens I will be happy. I was worried that I wouldn't be so at least I know how I feel. Next month, I'm chucking the opks away, dtd every other day and only testing once af is late! Promise

Sorry to read that Loki. Hope your feeling ok.

Feeling rather panicky after all the losses, is anyone still pregnant? 5 weeks and just got home from a long haul flights. Had some really bad tummy cramps which are going away now.

Is this normal after a long flight?

Really sorry Loki, Jo, Lucky

Loki what is a chemical pregnancy? I've tested today and hAve also had a faint positive. I feel so weird about it all. Whilst part of me is overthemoon I'm completely doubting it's real as well, I've also been feeling really periody and convinced AF due. Nasty spots are always an early preg sign for me and I don't have any, so very doubtful of it all. I've also become overwhelmed with emotion and sadness for the baby we miscarried at Christmas. Hope you're ok Loki. Xx

It's when conception occurs but the pregnancy doesn't progress. I had a faint positive followed by BFN. Some women get a positive then their period. It's a pregnancy that can other be detected on an ultrasound. I'm OK. Upbeat even. Next month will be my month :)

And congratulations to you

This has happened to me this week. So Monday positive test, but wasnt sure if the line appeared after the 5 mins, tested again weds and negative, tested today because I had a test left and very very faint positive. I have zero symptoms. So strange that we miscarried at similar times and that this is happening too...
