TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 15 - Christmas miracles

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

New thread!

By the OPK, I mean normally at this point in my cycle they're negative.

There's definitely a line @voxnihili! Congratulations. I know how you feel though. It's such a mix of emotions.

Congratulations vox. I know how it feels, since yesterday I’ve felt like that.

I’ve got yellow cm now which makes me think I’m about to start bleeding and lose yet another one.

Thanks. The green one is the OPK, the blue one is the pregnancy test. I think I can see a line. I did leave it too long, but then I've never had an evap line on those tests, even 24 hours later. I know the answer is to get a first response but I guess if it is sort of showing on a cheapie there's not much point. I also don't understand - both months I've got BFPs (assuming this is) they have been the two months where I've been ultra stressed with work, and DP and I have managed one quick shag the whole month between me getting in from work and him going off to work.

TheCatsPaws - I hope it works out for you.

I don't want to get two excited as I've had period pains the last couple of days.

@voxnihili I see it, that's definitely a positive. I've never had a line on an IC. Congratulations and I hope you aren't feeling too anxious xx

@TheCatsPaws yellow cm is a normal thing in early pregnancy. Try not to stress x

Welcome @Hopefulbunny @IfeelFloopy @toobreathless and sorry for your losses

Thank you everyone. I’m supposed to be on my period today and because I had a chemical I’m super nervous and knicker checking like mad.

It's literally bright yellow, right? Good sign. Big hugs x

I ovulated at least 2 days late so having to move my day21 blood test, I hope the GP will accommodate

Also needs to chase up DH semen analysis results, nervous

Yeah it’s creamy cm but yellow rather than colourless.

DP got his after a week. They said up to 2 weeks, how long has it been Squirrel?

Yeah that's exactly what I had and others I know with successful pregnancies had around that time. (Mine didn't work out but I'm sure it was for unrelated reasons, as I managed to stay pregnant till 8-10wks).

It was a week on Friday just gone

They should have it back soon hopefully. DP was nervous about it but it came back fine except a bit low morphology. It’s spurred him on to cut down on caffeine at least (he’s a literal addict)

TheCatsPaws - I hope the CM is a good sign. I don't have it but certainly feel 'wet' down below. I've also had a horribly sniffly nose since yesterday which I'm hoping is a good sign.

I have sooo much work to do today and am getting nothing done now. I promised myself I'd work all morning and spend the afternoon with a bottle of wine, preparing Christmas food treats. I think work and the bottle of wine are out of the window now!

vox with one of my pregnancies I had period pain for days. I kept thinking I was due on any minute and just never came on. I did have a miscarriage but at 9 weeks so it was nothing to do with that. I was told cramping is very common, I remember being nervous about it with my first pregnancy which was okay.

I’m nervous but slightly hopeful, trying to reassure myself that this cm is okay.

I had the choice of sitting at home marking books, or driving to Boots to get a FRER. Obviously I chose the latter option. This is 12DPO, midday, with very diluted urine. I have such a bad headache. Waiting for DP to get home from work, not sure if I should tell him or wait a few more days.

I hope I've not upset anyone by posting this here, I'm really sorry if I have. I'm not on any of the conception buses as this is about cycle 28 for us and it just got disheartening.

Vox I feel the same, I don’t want to join any “pregnant” threads yet as I’m very cautious. That looks like a good bfp!

Vox after 28 cycles TTC that gives us all hope!! What fantastic news. Really hope it all goes smoothly for you xxx

Can I ask which day you DTD? Do you track ovulation?

I had peak ovulation tests on day 14 and 15, we DTD day 15 (it was really romantic - I ran out of school with the kids hoping no one would stop me and ask where I was rushing to - we then had a half an hour turn around time when I got home before I had to go out again. I then went to McDonalds for tea). We were tracking using ovulation sticks - I used the dual hormone clear blue tests, and then around when I thought ovulation would be I used the cheap once as I think they're clearer. After DTD, I used a mooncup as didn't have an hour to lay down. I also temp - it went up slightly CD 17, then spiked CD19. My temps look a bit like a range of mountains but they have risen the last 3 days. I am going to stop temping now though as I know temp will dip if an mc is on the horizon so I think it is time to stop.

I am nervous about the dates. Last time I was due on my birthday. This weekend is exactly 6 months since the mc, which, if I get that far puts the scan around about my due date. The same time my best friend's baby is due. So if it goes wrong, my due date will be even worse. I think I had bad implantation pain in the week, on my Grandad's birthday (he died suddenly earlier this year).

I've felt sick since getting that line earlier. I am so scared.

I just put my the positive test into my Ovia app and it changed it to the pregnancy version, which naturally when it opened gave all the dates from last time, I obviously forgot to tell it I lost it :(

Oh I'm sorry, that's so hard I had emails from baby pics app (i would have been 39wks today!) until I sent them to spam.

I know it's terrifying to get a BFP after a miscarriage, but remember that most likely everything will be fine. Use whatever coping mechanism you need to. I think if I'm lucky enough to get pregnant again I'll just have to be in denial until the 12 week scan.
