TTC after pregnancy loss. Thread 16. New Year, new hope for all!

[NoCatsHere]

Hello to anyone TTC after suffering pregnancy loss at any stage. Supportive group for all hoping for their rainbow babies.

Thanks for the new thread. Lovely name! I’ve just been catching up on everyone’s news. Glad to see the new pregnancies progressing well so far @nelle and @holly. Hello and welcome to the new people! I’m approaching fw now and was all set to go for the sperm meets egg plan but I’m coming down with some horrible lurgy. Arghhhh!

Cracked open a frer this morning to put me out of my misery guessing wtf is going on. As bright white as it could be. I've no idea what my body is doing. I've never had a cycle this long but there's no way I'm pregnant now. I'm so pissed off and just want af to show up.

So i got my BFP this morning.. feeling so many emotions right now.. ecstatic bit petrified it doesn't stick

Oh cats that's crap. Anyway you could have ovulated late?

Congrats kk very clear!

@NoCatsHere it is crap the waiting.

Congrats @Kkk87 !! Good clear line

@NoCatsHere the month I got my BFP I ovulated soooo late so my cycle was like forever long. Don't freak out.

@Kkk87 AMAZING!! Congratulations!!!

Thank you all so much.. the line is so much darker than the one I got before my mc so that is giving me hope.. my only worry is I'm having a few cramps pains and have lower back pain x

@nocats I had a similar experience last cycle. AF came on cd31 which NEVER happens for me. So blimming disappointing. Hope it comes soon so you can get on with your next cycle.

Congrats @Kkk87 that's a really strong line! Fingers crossed it's an easy 9 months!

My spotting has finally stopped! No AF though so I'll assume AF was just some light spotting. Today is CD8 which means I can start SMEP today, how exciting!! Anyone else starting that this month?

@daisymay25 was hoping to start SMEP today too but think I’m getting the flu so might struggle to keep up!
Congrat @kkk87! Brilliant news!

Thank you to everyone.. I can't believe it, I was totally giving up hope.. x

Kkk congrats what a great line! 🎉

Unicorns im glad you are finally seeing the end of this. After my mc, af started the day my hcg went to 0. So hopefully you’ll have a nice fresh cycle soon.

@NoCatsHere that's rubbish. I'm sorry.

Our bodies seem to do crazy stuff after MC. I've just started spotting again at cd8. WTF?? AF usually lasts 4 days and then totally done.
@Kkk87 congrats!! That's a super strong line! How many dpo are you?

Good luck with the SMEP @DaisyMay25! We're going to try next month after my holiday. Although DH just thinks we should dtd every day instead 🤣 What day do you ovulate usually? Wondering if I should adapt for longer cycles.

Thank you very much @Boboelephant I'm either 12 or 14 dpo x

@Boboelephant I swear the spotting is getting us all! Drives me crazy!
I usually ovulate around CD 14, I don't normally track it strictly but this month I am. Got a little book going tracking every day of this cycle. You could just do it for a longer cycle anyway, every other day from CD8 then start testing for ovulation from CD10, you'll just have to DTD a lot haha!

Yeah @DaisyMay25 it is annoying. It's super weird as I had a pretty normal af. Then 2 days of nothing then spotting. Strange!! Haha yeah that'll keep DH happy! Good exercise for me I guess!! 🤣

mrsmac thanks but I really think it’s just a waiting game for af now. A FRER would have shown a line 6 days before my period is due and there’s no way I caught the egg even if I did ov late. We only dtd once this month on cd12. I’m now cd31 so unless it was some sort of super sperm and I ov late there’s no chance it would have caught and not shown up by now.

I’m so depressed. I was pregnant exactly a year ago and nothing since. I don’t know how long I can continue for. I’ve spent a whole year wishing time away and stressing out. It’s not a good way to live life.

k87 many congrats on your nice strong line!

@NoCatsHere i know what you mean about wishing life away & putting things on hold 'just incase'. Its pure crap

Sorry to hear of your screwy cycle, @NoCatsHere, I've just had one the same. It's my second after my mc, both have been 36 days so all the dtd around cd14-17 was a complete waste as I probably ov'd a week later. I did a frer on Sunday when I thought I was a couple of days late and it was neg, then af showed up today.
Sorry to hear you're feeling it. It's only been 2 months since my mc and I feel like crying still most days. Look after yourself x

@Kkk87, congrats! I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy x

Looks like im on for round 2! 10dpo and i have a very faint line. Please let this one stick! Im so so anxious!

Been trying to catch up on news. Congrats @Kkk87! that's amazing, and no arguing with that result!

@UnicornsandRainbows1 great that you're getting back to normal and can get back on the ttc wagon.

Sorry about the bfn @NoCatsHere and sorry that you are feeling down. It's so distressing this process, I don't know what to advice but sending virtual hugs x

Congrats @HoneyCake86! Keeping everything crossed it sticks for you

Hi to the recent joiners and re-joiners. Sorry you are here and hope you find it supportive.

@gingerbreadmam I'm sorry to read about your losses, what a harsh few years you've had. I think I remember you from the ttc forum in 2014 (I've changed names since then a few times but I don't remember what I was then sorry! not helpful). I had my first mc then too. I really hope 2018 is your year.

just lost a long post

congratulations @kkk87 and @honey í¼í¾í¼í¾

hope everyone had a great day and sorry to who got af

Huge huge congratulations to the two ladies who got their BFPS!!! That’s so amazing and I’m so happy for you both xx

Thank you everyone . Yous are all so lovely x

Nice to see some BFPs here! Congratulations! I have nothing exciting to report. That dull time of the month when AF has just finished, but I am pleased for those with lines.
