We're ovulating again, so let's jump our men. It's TTC after miscarriage thread 11

[Lime19]

Not sure if I should start new thread for this? Is there one open already?

And at the 8min mark although if I'm honest I an really not sure if it see much of a difference..
Ekp I'm wondering the same as you..
I saw them in sainsbury and thought I'd buy them to give it a go next cycle so thought I'd do one now to see what a negative looks like/ as opposed to a positive one...
Sorry for posting photos again.. I have never used them and am just curious as to what it should look like...

Smurf, I'd say that's pretty positive. It needs to look the same as it darker than the control line.

I've found them helpful to get to grips with my cycle. I can now tell when to use them according to my ewcm and usually get the positive. Initially I had to test 3 times a day to hit a positive till I'd got to know my body.

Trying to tell myself it's just a hormonal surge here...

Ironically, I don't really want to get preg this month for several reasons. We wanted a break post this last chemical/ early mc. It's amazing if we are as he withdrew and proves that method doesn't work but I do feel very unconfident about it.

Thanks ekp i think they do definitely look as dark as each other at least and the test line is getting darker now (but I know it is now over the time)..
Think is I'm on cd27.. And af in theory was due on Sunday or Monday..
But it was a week early last month or not outside the realm of probability that it could be a week late this month.. But surely I'm not actually ovulating this late? My cycles are virtually always 25 days with exception of last month 22 days and first af after the erpc arrived exactly 28 days after the surgery..

Well, this is why I'm questioning it!

They can show pregnancy hormones too.

Have you tested with an htp?

No I haven't... I said i would try and wait for af to be one week late in future before testing as the waiting game has been too difficult with last two pregnancies that both ended at 6/7 weeks...
Have you test with one?

Plus I know this is crazy but I think I'll be more disappointed with a negative test than af arriving.. Trying not to get my hopes up.....

I'm the same, I don't want to test. My breasts hurt a lot though. I don't have any tests at the moment. I'm going to wait till af is due.

How will I last 5 days?!

I think some women do have later surges though too, it's not unheard of to ovulate late or again.

I feel the same now. A negative is harder than af.

I'm interested to know if it's usual for me to get a later surge though I suppose.

However I think I'll wait till the wkend!

Ekp I have no will power... I mean zero... I went to the shops for chips... I left with more than chips of course....
I just got a bfp on a clear blue digital.. It says 1-2 weeks!! Im in shock i didn't think it would be.. I thought it was all in my head just.. Again..
I am so excited but at the same time I'm terrified.. What if it all goes wrong again.... So should I start taking baby aspirin to see if I can get past the 6/7 week mark? And should I stop taking my hay fever tablets? ... In the past week I've drank wine and had lobster and done outdoor sports you shouldn't really do when pregnant.. Eek

Smurf, that's brilliant! Congratulations! Great news! Yes, get on the aspirin and don't worry about the other stuff.

We're on a rooooolllllll x

Thank you stepaway can i just buy it in tesco? Tried to book a gp appointment and the app has told me "there are no appointments available for you to book " as in any time in the future!!

Omg!!!! That's amazing news!

I'm so excited for you!!!! I have no will power but no tests and can't be arsed going out

So funny that I posted just before you did about the same thing (and answered my own question )

It can be bought over the counter in any pharmacy. Possibly even in front of the counter?

How are you step? I need to check in with the 40+ttc thread.

Smurf that's fantastic news! Everything is crossed for you. Can't wait to start dtd again, we haven't done it since I became pg (may) and I just feel fat and ugly now. I'm also majorly comfort eating. How long after erpc has anyone else waited before dtd (not to conceive, just for the love)?

Smurf massive congratulations!!! Relax and trust your body. I know it's hard but nothing will go wrong. This is a sticky one. Keep repeating. PMA and lots of laughs and smiles. I'm really happy for you!!!! 😘

OMG yes smurf!!!! that is ace news! Congrats, please do go and have a very normal boring pregnancy!

And were you told to take baby aspirin or are you giving it a whirl this time?

Congratulations Smurf and Fresas. Lovely to hear some positive news!

yellow that's such a beautiful gesture by the hospital. I've actually managed to go a few days now without having a cry but that made me well up.

Evening all,

That was a mammoth of a catch up - had about 10 pages! It's been pretty busy over the past week or so and everyone is so super chatty (which is wonderful), I've been entirely unable to keep up!

yellow, I'm absolutely gutted to see you here again. I'm so so sorry. You sound very similar to me at the moment headspace wise - just come through second mc and feeling like I've spent the entire year pregnant (except 2 months) and have nothing at all to show for it. Bloody load of crap.

Smurf and Fresas, wonderful news! I love how we seem to get a string of bfp's in one go - let's keep it up!!

I've felt weirdly at peace the past week. I feel, at the moment, that if I fall again and mc a third time then that's that - we'll deal with it. Like we've dealt with the previous 2 mc. And then we'll have a break while they do tests and then carry on. I'm 28 and I think it's finally dawned on me that I'm still relatively young in this ttc game. That if we have nothing else, we have time. And I have to trust that one day we will get our rainbow baby, even if we have to go through more heartache first. I don't know what's wrong with me - all this zen and accepting of fate! I hope some of it rubs off on those of you going through a tough time. Lime, I'm so sorry things are still not back to normal . Maybe my zen attitude has something to do with the fact I've no idea where I am in my cycle so am just dtd every other day and not symptom spotting as I just keep telling myself my cycle wouldn't have started again immediately after the mc.

Anyway, sorry for the essay and sorry I haven't specifically replied to many of you - sending all the love .

Thanks guys I hoping everything goes OK. Im trying very hard to stay positive and believe that everything will work out.
Nocats I haven't been told to use it but after 2 miscarriages both at the same time I just feel like I need to do something!

Just trading back through. So sorry you're here again yellow. I hope you're ok? I'd take as much time as you need.

*Trawling

Smurf, I'm still smiling, so chuffed for you. I buy my aspirin from Boots. The low dose one in a white and yellow packet.

Hello Ekphrasis! I'm OK thanks. Tests so far have showed no issues, a few results left to get and then back on the ttc train. How's you? Wondered where you'd gone. I've not checked the 40+ttc thread for a while. Struggling to keep up with this one!

emvy, lovely to have you back too. And, yes, 28 is young and you have plenty of time. Definitely take the pressure off yourself and relax...

More baby dust to all... x

Envy. Perfect words. When we fall we get up and finish the race, someone might help us along the way but we will always finish the race. My husband always says, if it doesn't happen then we go again. And again. Until we succeed. Xxx
