TTC after pregnancy loss. Thread 17. New Year, new hope for all!

[Primrose16]

Oops the other one got full before new one made. Kept the same name to make it easier to find.

Omg @Primrose16..... I KNEW it was implantation!!! So excited for you!!! I had pink spotting this morning but nothing since and thought AF was on her way with cramps. But nothing since. No idea what's happening with my cycle! I should be 16dpo but the app keeps changing my ovulation date!!! Eek... so happy for you! Xx

I'm so happy for all your bfps!!!!! Bobo good luck! I really hope it's the month!

Congrats @primrose16 that is a definite line!! 2 BFP in one day! Well done girls!

@cakelaur what on Earth is going on. It’s so strange that your ov date keep doing changing

Congrats on the bfp primose and keeping such great news. Fingers crossed they stick and primrose that your line gets darker after a day or so.
8dpo here and not feeling any symptoms. I was feeling headaches and bloated a few days ago but now absolutely zilch.

Oh congratulations to those with BFPs! Such happy news and keeping my fingers crossed they are sticky little ones!

CD20 and I think around DPO6, really hoping I can join in with a BFP this month!

Well I've finally been discharged today from the hospital!!! Called this morning to confirm my negative tests (I took 3) and the nurse was so lovely. She set me off blubbing though when she said "we'll hopefully see you soon upstairs" meaning the maternity ward. I really hope so. @hidcat we have decided to go for it straight away, finished bleeding 6 days ago and ovulated already, is that normal? I'm even 3dpo today??

Congratulations @primrose I have been watching this thread. Fx it gets alot darker in the next few days!

Congrats to everyone for your bfp's so far!!! Xxx

Hi ladies just checking in. Congratulations on the BFPs! I’ve been keeping busy with the gym and my course, trying to keep my mind off our next RMC appointment on 20th where hopefully we’ll find out more about these ghastly tests and when we can TTC again. Hoping to see more BFPs here soon!

@Funkyemzie yes that's normal for some people. Good luck for this one.

I'll be calling epu today as still having positive tests 8wks after MC. Faint line but not a squinter. Trying not to get my hopes up about it being a new pregnancy as I think my levels were coming down too slow for that.

@Eastend2015 I hope you get your answers soon.

Morning ladies, so did a frer and got a BFN. Feeling a little deflated today to be honest. Due on Saturday but so not quite out but normally get a strong line early on

Don't give up yet @weasledee. A lot can happen in a few days.

Wtf!!! It's moved my ovulation day BACK to the first day it originally said. My temps are low for post ov and no AF!! I'm now 15days post ov. BFN and my LP NEVER gets to more than 12dpo!! WTF!!! Just give me AF already!!

Congratulations on the BFP!

Really hope they stick.

Still got a long 8 days until I can test.

I'm determined to wait until AF is due or even 1 day late - To avoid being deflated by BFN.

Roll on 20th 😂😂

@funkyemzie glad you have got the all clear and good luck with this month! We are cycle buddies...I am 4dpo today.

@hidcat fingers crossed you’ve been blessed with the fertility cape!!

@weasledee still a bit early! Maybe try and hold out a couple of days and try again 🤞

@cakelaur it’s so frustrating isn’t it! I hope you get a BFP or AF soon so you can get out of limbo land!

@patienceofatoddler good idea trying to stick it out! Don’t think I’ll be able to, I was going to test on 20th too but it’s 3/4 days before AF so might still be too early...don’t know why I do this to myself! GL

@Claire138 il be keeping an eye on how you get on in the next few days!

Best of luck x x

@Hidcat are they doing bloods to monitor? Did you call EPU?

@Claire138 fingers crossed for both of us although I've not stopped with the ewcm for 5 days and don't really trust OPK's as didn't get a positive in December when I fell preg but ff, just like @Cakelaur kept changing my dates. I'll just see what happens. I tested at 12dpo and got my BFP so if af doesn't show up by then, I'll test on that date.

Who knows what will happen this month. Hope you are all ok. I might not say very much but I'm thinking of you all! Xxx

Hi ladies,

So lovely to see some BFPs! The biggest congratulations to all!

I'm feeling very low today. I'm 4 days post D&C, still waiting for cramps and minor bleeding to stop. It was a week ago today that they found no heartbeat, and I can't stop replaying everything in my mind.

I have a question for you all - how did you all know when you were ovulating post D&C? Did you use OPKs/temping? If so, when did you start? My plan is to do a pregnancy test on Friday (which will be a week post op) and if it's negative then I'll probably start bbt/OPKs straight away but I don't know if that's realistic.

Any advice much appreciated! I know everyone's different but it would be good to hear some experiences.

Hi @timewaitsfornowoman I didn't get a negative test until nearly two weeks later. I bought some ovulation tests as af hasn't arrived but lucky for me that same day I was ovulating. I'm now a week in to the tww....not feeling hopeful but never know eh!

Hi @Timewaitsfornowoman I'm so sorry, it's such a sad and upsetting time going through a mc, I really hope you start to feel a bit less sore and that the bleeding eases off soon. I haven't been through a d&c but after my mc my bleeding stopped within a week and the cramps stopped even earlier than that so hopefully you're through the worst, physically at least. Because I know it's still going to be emotionally challenging, or at least it was for me for a couple of weeks. Recently though I've found I've tried to shift my focus on ttc again and that has helped ease the emotional pain, although I do still feel a huge sense of loss.
Re. ovulating, I had assumed I would get a period first but I'm pretty sure I've either just ovulated or am at the moment. I know this because of my cm, and also I did my first ever OPK tests in the last couple of days and think it was positive. It's now gone negative again. Basically I'm just monitoring every single part of me for signs/changes! A litttttttle bit obsessed 🤦‍♀️
I also use an app called natural cycles and use their thermometer to track my temps but have been a bit crap at keeping up with that recently as I was out of the habit while pregnant. There's so much waiting around and it's just frustrating and upsetting all at once.
I just hope some more BFPs come along soon for everyone.
Keep sharing and chatting, it helps me pass the time and have something else to focus on! ☺️
Sending hugs to everyone.

@Funkyemzie yes had a blood test at EPU this morning and will need another in a week or so to see if it's going down or up. Of course I'll probably POAS every single day between to see if I can spot any changes myself. Keeping everything crossed for a new pregnancy but if not then I wish it would just zero already so I don't have to go back, destroys me every time I have to go there.

@Timewaitsfornowoman I'm so sorry to hear your news. I hope you're doing ok. 💐

@Timewaitsfornowoman I ovulated almost exactly 5 weeks to the day of my last D&C in December
I know this because I had some spotting on that day and we got pregnant and timings matched.

Hooray for BFPs- really hoping we see some more this month.

Good luck everyone

Weird thing to say but.... yeah AF showed!! 🙈 onto xmas babies!!

@Babynamedie this is my chart so far, I started tempting while I was still bleeding just because I was curious.

It seems I ovulated super early after I stopped bleeding and my temps seem to agree with the OPK result so fingers crossed we did enough this month. I hope it settles for you soon.

@Hidcat I really hope your levels have gone up lovely and it is a new pregnancy, it's so harrowing that place!

Not a weird thing at all @Cakelaur I swear my life currently revolves around dam AF.

Here's to lots of Christmas Babies

Sorry, that was meant to say @Timewaitsfornowoman I'm terrible at tagging wrong names on posts! 🙈
