TTC after pregnancy loss - lucky thread 13

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

Hi guys I couldn't see a new thread so hope you don't mind me starting it off @BertieBotts ?

First pic better blue - I can def see it.
Thanks. Only using cheapies as loath to waste money on frer for now. I also have no symptoms so pretty convinced it won't change.

Sorry for bfn @beanhunter. This is so bloody hard! Frers are so expensive! I only used them last time, as Boots had a two for one deal in. Not sure I'll bother this month.

@BlueeSpottyTiger lines are always more faint in photos. I kept my photos of my first pregnancy's tests for sentimental reasons, and the first line I ever saw was definitely darker than it appears in the photo.

So sorry you're having such a tough time @Beccasx. We are here for you.

@NoCatsHere my periods were like that since coming off the pill. I fell pregnant on cycle 4. I asked my GP if that could have been the reason for my MC, but she said absolutely not.

Ugghhhh AF has arrived!! Totally unannounced the biatch!! It's good in a way as hopefully my body will get back to some normality but feeling a bit 😞 for some reason?! I think it my hormones havin a crazy rave! Also annoying for the last few days of holiday.

Bluee looking good - fingers crossed the line keeps getting darker and darker each time you test.

Becca I hope you get things sorted

Flatwhite and Beanhunter keep thinking positive

KerryLeanne that's good that you are ovulating and dh sperm is good - that's like us, just makes it even more annoying / frustrating hey! 😡 ❤️

Haybay I'm sorry about af! :( xx

Sorry about your period too haybay - how long has it been since the miscarriage? At least your cycle returning shows that your body is getting back to normal

Well, did a few hours overtime on a day off at stupid o'clock this morning and now I have a letter where I need to move out by December. Fuck this shitty year!!

There's ofc still time to find somewhere but fml really?!

@Beccasx I’m so so sorry. He sounds like a prize shit right now but as a previous poster said, men just don’t get it like we do. Maybe when the dust settles you can both talk it through?

Sucks about AF @Haybay1 I had to wait a looooong 9 weeks for me post-mc AF & I was literally out of my mind. Especially because I got my second bfp after 1st mc with no period in between. When AF finally came I was actually pleased, took it as starting a new chapter.

@BlueeSpottyTiger yaaassssss!!!!! Can’t wait for pics of darker lines!

@Flatwhite31 I’ve been symptom-spotting like a loon! I’m around 7-8dpo today & just poaic. Negative of course! Just had the urge to pee on something . Have no symptoms whatsoever bar some cramping, so not getting my hopes up. 3po is very very early to symptom spot.

@beanhunter still early to test? Maybe try again in a couple of days? I’ll keep it all crossed for you.

Sorry I’ve not been posting much. Work is crazy right now and I’ve been trying not to think about whether this month has worked or not. Like many of you I’m also in the TWW now. 7dpo. Next 4/5 days feel like an eternity. I have had lots of thick lotiony white CM today which is unusual for me at this point in my cycle and cervix is soft high and closed. Not firm. Feels different but I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Congratulations @BlueeSpottyTiger I hope the lines get darker soon x

Sorry about AF haybay, and sorry Becca that your P is being not all D... hope that he will come to his senses and say sorry for being so unsupportive.

I'm 9dpo and trying so hard to be patient but it's getting hard! I keep squeezing my boobs to see if they're sore and my number one symptom previously has been needing to wee in the night and last night I had to get up twice... I might cave and poas tomorrow morning. But then with my night time wees it won't even be that concentrated! Either way, I share the pain of all of you trying to sit on your hands and resisting the urge to test!

Ahhh I caved and did an IC. I can see a very faint line (though hard to see on photo) but it came up after the 5 mins so does that mean it doesn't count? It didn't come up immediately so I left it in the kitchen and forgot about it- only saw it when I came back in around 15 mins later... I know I'll have to be patient and wait til tomorrow really. I just really really really want it to be true!

Forgot to add pics

I see it! Good luck for the morning!

Hi all. Long time since I posted. Was feeling v jaded and pessimistic and thinking it was time to call it a day.

AF due tomorrow and I’m off out to a party, so thought I’d do a quick IC in order to drink with a clear conscience...

BFP!!!!!

I can hardly believe it. Been TTC since 2nd MC in Jan. I’m now 45, will be 46 when the baby comes if it all works out.

I’m not counting my chickens and am not even sure I’ll register for antenatal care for the moment. Pointlessly doing another lengthy booking in appointment would do my head in... Maybe just a private scan at 12 weeks. If I get that far!

Anyway, just wanted to share the news. I’ve done nothing special this month btw. I don’t feel pg. (I have done numerous special [Catholic] prayers so if anyone would like to have them please DM me.)

Good luck to all.

Cautious congrats waterfeature and elphebra!
Great to get some positive news! 🌈🌈🌈

unicorns - does that mean you have to move out of your current house? Oh no!

Oh my goodness congrats to both of you!

Please let this be a roll... 🤞🏻

@KerryLeanne84 It does. Just to top up my year I guess. Not the best conditions to ttc in~

Elpheba & water congrats!
Unicorn Oh no :( how stressful..Will you rent or buy? I've bought my forever home and I'll never move again, i hate it!

My daughter is 20months and this evening she came up to me and kissed my stomach. I hope it will be a successful pregnancy this time and one day she will get to kiss her little brother or sister. I feel like i can't be happy because a postive doesn't always mean a baby but then sometimes it does. I just feel all weird! And dp is happy but doesn't wanna get all excited because of the last 2 times 😣

So I think my suspicions of being out are confirmed. Bleeding tonight. In theory could be the mythical implantation bleeding as period not due for a few days but suspect it's just an early period. Bugger.

Sorry to hear that bean

unicorns - we once had to move rental houses with only a few weeks notice after the landlord didn't pay the mortgage! I hope you're not too stressed out by it ❤️

@Bluee I hope it will be for you. Take every sweet moment that you can. It sounds like an adorable moment :)

@KerryLeanne84 That's fucking dreadful. I'm trying not to be so stressed out but I seem to be flittering back and forth.

So we just got back home after a walk and oh jesus my boobs hurt with every step back home. Legitimately every blood step This ignoring symptoms thing isn't going to happen clearly with stuff like that happening

I've been awake since 3am thinking about my MMC over and over. I know this cycle has failed. I just want my March baby back . I'd be 19 weeks in 3 days time. I've got a horrible feeling I won't get pregnant for ages.

@Flatwhite Oh Flat, you seem to be having such a tough time. I don't think you ever forget which week you'd be in. I hope it is quick for you, we all deserve to have another go, albeit with different feelings. I hope you've managed to get some sleep now

Thanks @UnicornsandRainbows1. I'm starting to get a little better (I've had 3 days without crying this week) and I can now talk about everything without crying. I just don't want to start all over again, as I know I'll never enjoy being pregnant again. I'm also a bit worried that I've had no hormonal type symptoms since my MC. No period pains, not a hint of sore boobs, nothing. I think I ovulated, but a positive OPK doesn't conform that. I had pains, but I now think those were a mild tummy thing, as I didn't feel 100% all week. I'm getting observed teaching by the head tomorrow and am dreading it because I don't care about my job, so won't do as well as I normally do. I've tried looking for counselling but there's nothing in my area. I've applied for Talking Therapies, but I'm not sure it'll help as it's not miscarriage specific.

Flatwhite 💖💖

I don't think I'm pregnant. Line looks like yesterday and i can't figure if its now pink or grey. I just want af to come Wednesday so i can just try again next cycle. Sigh!

Hi all.
New poster here so hello and kind thoughts to everyone
I am 31 and been ttc since December 2016. My cycle and hormones are up/down and all over the place. So much so that we were in the process of being referred to the fertility clinic.
On July 26th, the day before the referral appointment came through I found out I was pregnant! Cue over the moon happiness!
However at 10 weeks I started getting brown discharge. They sent me for an early scan and was told the baby was only measuring 6w 1d and couldn't locate hb. Was scheduled a follow up scan but miscarried 2 days later on the 13th September
The last few weeks have been the worst of my life.
Woke up this morning to what I'm guessing is AF but literally had no warning of it.
Desperately long to be pregnant again but no idea how I'm going to handle the agonising monthly AF battle again.

Sorry for the long winded post!
