TTC after miscarriage - lucky thread number 3

[Brenna24]

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

GOOD LUCK AMY. Let us know how you get on.

How is everyone else doing?

Despite my dodgy back, me and DH managed to DTD last night and this morning. We have this trick where after sex, I do a shoulder stand for 10 minutes - and despite the back, I still managed to get up! and hold it for the lucky 10 mins!!

So hopefully his wriggles are winding their way down now... I've got EWCM and my fertility test is PEAK. So I'm keeping everything crossed and as calm as possible to hope this is our month.

I am still slightly worried I have remaining blood clots from the MC, as I did last month, but I have had no weird bleedings or cramps, so hopefully....

Looking forward to a lovely sunny weekend down here!

Haha Kate that is a funny visual! Good luck all! I'm only CD 3 so the shagathon hasn't started yet. Going away for a couple of days on Monday and we are staying in a one roomed wooden cabin so we are going to have to set our alarm to dtd early in the morning before we go. Not keen on dtd in the tiny ensuite whilst dd sleeps. However, if needs must. If I ovd straight after af this month I'm not missing it!

Just received a birth announcement from a family member. Normally, I'm happy when anyone announces the birth of a baby but I'm struggling with this one. Family member is very young, not with the father, baby was unplanned and her announcement came the day after she'd been at a family event very drunk. I'm having a 'why didn't my baby survive when I did everything right' moment. I need a slap. Mother and baby deserve better than I'm feeling atm. I need to dust myself down and go shopping for the new baby. Talk sense into me please!

Aww loki. I know what you mean my heart sinks a little when I hear a pregnancy announcement. Hugs to you it really does suck.

I'm now getting positive opks hurray! We are also going away glamping this weekend so fingerscrossed we conceive a Christmas baby in a wooden hut

Kate ttc warrior!!!

Loki birth announcements get me down too. My cousins girlfriend is pregnant she had her scan today, she's due when I think I should have been due so is a bit gutting as their baby wasn't planned and they've only been together around 6 months. Been inundated with scan pics which I don't really want to see at the min.

Paco lets hope the wooden hut brings you your Christmas baby. I went glamping for my hen do, we had a brilliant time would love to do it again.

Work has done me in again today especially after my rubbish nights sleep. Not napping today though but going to have an early night and hope I don't dream about anything weird and horrible again like last night.

Lots of baby making in wooden cabins going on this weekend!! I like it!!

loki I feel your pain. I have a colleague at work who has been seeing her boyfriend for 3 months and "oops I'm pregnant, I didn't realise it would happen so easily!!! Oops you!!".. She has been single for ages and is nearly 40 so I am happy for her but still... I had to suddenly disappear to a meeting when she told us. Strange that.

Hope you are ok now Loki.

And thankyou amy!! I like that, TTC warrior! Bedroom warrior! Here's hoping.

How you feeling?

I feel alright atm not too worried about the hpt because I'm convinced it was an evap line and I'm waiting for af if it comes then I'll know for sure it was an evap but if by Sunday I've not got af I'm going to use a frer.

How's your back now?

I'm OK. Baby is absolutely gorgeous. I hope baby turns her life around.

Love reading everyone's TTC in less than ideal conditions stories, in rooms shared with little ones, huts, despite a dodgy back...Bet we all have a story or two of completely unromantic DTD escapades!
With us it's definitely when we stay at my ils as we always share a room with our toddler who crawls into our bed at 4.30 in the morning. So it's always a case of disappearing whilst DD is playing with ils in the middle of the day! We are all TTC warriors!
On CD18 today since start of MC, bleeding stopped on CD7 and have been DTD every other day ever since. Not stopping till I get my temp rise, which last cycle when I got preggers was CD37... Though I'm going away to a conference for a week from CD31 so hoping I 'o' before that.
Hope everyone is looking at a good weekend, we just picked up the keys to our new house so at least will be distracted for the foreseeable future.

Ooh good luck to everyone ttc, especially in random places. We used to put the TV on and disappear upstairs for a few minutes! You have to take every opportunity and make them if not! Our children have found me on a few occasions with my legs up in the air (I was dressed at that point obviously!) and I just say I'm looking at the pictures about our bed!

We totally relaxed the month we conceived, dtd every other day and the only other thing I did was after legs in the air was to lie on my front with hips on a pillow - I read about it on here! My uterus is inverted so hopefully that helped

Kicking myself as did another digital and still 2-3 weeks at 5+4. My hcg was 3969 on Tuesday though? We are on holiday from tomorrow so I'm hoping that it will be a distraction. I don't know when to book a scan for when we are back (6+6) or of we can hold off until 9w or do both?!

I hope people don't mind me still posting, I really don't feel confident about the pregnancy. Still cry when I see birth announcements or pregnant women. I just don't expect this to be successful. I know often people say they just know the pregnancy wasn't going well but I don't think I will ever feel confident with a pregnancy.

Keep posting, Jo! I wouldn't trust the weeks counter on the digital tests. When I was pg with dd my sil was 8 weeks ahead. We showed her the digital and she did one to get the 'pregnant' result (I think she wanted a photo for a baby book) and got 2-3 weeks at 3 months!

Keep posting Jo.

Best of luck Amy I really hope this is it.

jo I defo agree with loki keep posting as long as it's helping you, I expect to feel the same way when it's my turn again and the more I hear other people's experiences of coping with it the better prepared I feel, I find it very helpful to read posts from ladies pregnant after MC, especially early days. Your hcg level sounds very encouraging to me! My EPU warned me against doing multiple tests after BFP as they're not designed to assess the health of a pregnancy, just to say whether or not you're pregnant - which you clearly are! :-)

Also fingers crossed for you amy sounds promising!

I have had some brown discharge, nothing on panties just on finger when I go looking. Sorry TMI. Anyway I am freaking out. 6 weeks today.

Brown isn't usually anything to worry about, Flourishing. It's old blood and could be left over from implantation. When I had my mc, on the scan they could see how badly I was bleeding internally, but from the outside of my body there was nothing. The blood you say was probably released at implantation and you are only just seeing it because your sticking your finger up there! BTW - I'm queen of the knicker checking when pregnant - I shoved that much tissue paper up my floof looking for blood I gave myself a sore spot! Tmi but I wanted to empathise. Try not to worry, all the Dr goggles say brown is nothing to worry about.

I had a good morning visitor right on que from af! The line was an evap line as expected but it did come up within three minutes so just shows you these crap tests throw out false positives sometimes, I'm never trusting a faint line.

Flourishing with my dd1 I had a lot of brown discharge, well I thought it was brown but it was just really thick cm that looked a funny colour and turned out I had thrush!

Sorry Amy. That sucks

Oh bugger, sorry Amy. Those tests are so confusing. Hope you are ok. X

Keep posting jo

Sorry amy

flourishing I think brown blood was old blood.

Getting strong positive opk now so going to be trying kates shoulder stand later and hopefully not end up in a&e!

Bugger Amy that sucks.

Cd11 now and we are back at the struggling to DTD to completion stage. I am quite fed up and starting to feel very fat and unattractive. I feel like if I was in better shape DH would want me more (which isn't true, just me feeling sorry for myself). Oh well. DDog is back speaking to me now that I have persuaded him to eat his pills in ham an dcream cheese again, so I am not having to ram them down his throat.

Flourishing brown blood and no cramps should be fine. Don't hesitate to contact EPAC for reassurance if you need it though.

Af sucks! It's really heavy this time and painful too. I thought the cramps after ov were bad but this is something else. It's actually making me feel sick, reminds me of when I was a teenager. Last month I had spotting 15dpo but this time I've gone straight into the thick of it and know it's only going to get heavier! I have work this afternoon as well
