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.

@NoCatsHere that's very pink, I doubt it's an Evap. Fingers crossed with the FRER eek

@nocatshere I don’t get the whole evap line, but that looks like a line to me. Eeeeeeek! I think these ones take a while to show a line as the whole window gets covered and then disappears (dries up) then the line is seen.

@nocatshere that’s definitely a positive line to me!! Congratulations!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @NoCatsHere it looks promising.

@NoCatsHere that's a definite line!!! And a very strong one if af isn't due until Monday. Congratulations!!! 😀😀

Bobo are you testing today? I've decided to save the frer till next month as had big temp drop this morning and the cramps have started so AF is on her way.....

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be joining the bfp club this month. So gutted. Stark white bfn at 12dpo. I even went back and checked after an hour but still nothing.

Ah sorry @weasledee!! It really sucks! Hopefully it's our turn next month. I really just want to cry.

@NoCats that's definitely a line!!

@boboelephant and @weasledee I expect to be joining you with a BFN next week. Big hugs. Xx

Hi all I've just read a very interesting article about "evap" lines.

So to get straight to the point.....no matter how long a pregnancy test has been left to develope if you get a pink positive line no matter how light or dark it's states you will deffinately be pregnant as the test line will only ever pick up the pregnancy hormone. By testing early the hormone won't be very strong hence why it could take several hours for it to develope.

I can't include the link as I have no idea how to and I also tried to copy the article but again that didn't work either.

Safe to say all of you with positive lines light or dark congrats 🤗🤗

@NoCatsHere congrats 😊, lovely news!!

@Boboelephant @weasledee ah its just crap

@NoCatsHere I don't think there's any way that isn't a positive tbh It's too pronounced and pink imo

@NoCatsHere congratulations, looks like a positive to me!

I expect to be joining the BFNs, I think I'm around 9dpo and no symptoms to suggest I'm pregnant

Next month ladies! I'm going to order some OPK sticks today, feel like I'm doing something productive....

@NoCatsHere that looks like a BFP to me! Congratulations 😀🎉

@boboelephant aw I’m gutted for you!! You’re not out until AF shows!! Sending big hugs xx

Congratulations to people with BFP's!

I'm currently waiting impatiently for AF, it's been 10 days so far and it's just getting heavier every day so doesn't look like the end is in sight yet. It's my first AF since my miscarriage so I was expecting it to be different to normal but I just want to get on with the rest of my cycle now please!

Thank you all so much for all your nice words. I know how odd it is to see bfp on here and be happy for people but you always have a pang of when will it be my turn. I’ve been on this forum for a year after my second mmc and it’s been nothing but a source of posivity and relief to be able to say how I feel without ever being judged. I know I have a long way to go and I’m so fearful already that this one will not be third time lucky but I’m just so grateful to even fall pregnant again. I’m in denial I think and certainly won’t be moving to far from this place if that’s ok. Rooting for you all to get bfp soon. Oh and it just bloody luck I swear, we did it once this once, my OH was so sick I didn’t even think he was going to manage to dtd - I practically forced him!

bobo I’m so sorry you had a bfn this morning. Your symptoms were so promising. I hope it’s just too soon for you.
kingy thanks for the info on evap lines. Really helpful.
weasledee sorry your temp has dropped but glad you didn’t waste the frer.

@NoCatsHere don't be sorry. I'm fairly certain we all live to see people who have been trying for ages get their bfp! And it just goes to show, sometimes luck is what it takes. Fingers crossed everything sticks this time around.

Done a FRER now, not the strongest of lines but there definitely and not bad I guess for 4 days early and mid morning wee! Will check it’s stronger in a few days time...

Thanks @Daffodil77. Hopefully you won't be joining us!
Thanks @keepinghopeful. It is crap!
You never know @strawberrye. No symptoms can be a good sign! I had zillions this month and clearly that doesn't mean anything!
Thanks @Claire138! Xx I know you're right but it's hard not to feel crap! I feel like if I was there should be something there by now. Hopefully I'm just one of those late bfp people! 🤞🤞
@Sloeberrygin that sucks. Hope it ends soon.
@NoCatsHere thankyou for your kind words and I'm so happy for you. I hope it's your third time lucky! (And mine!) Definitely stick around as we'd love to hear how you're going. Hopefully non eventful! I agree about this thread. It's a massive source of inspiration and super strong women!!

@nocatshere it’s funny how things work out! And do hang around and keep us up to date on how you are doing!

@boboelphant I know, it’s hard not to get your hopes up every month and then to be faced with that bright white test. Still fx you’re a late BFP! 🤞 are you still having strong signs?

I’m 6dpo...not a hint of other signs 🤔 already feeling out for this month but still early days. Been eating a cup of pineapple a day and included the core, which by the way 🤢 I seem to chew it for 5 mins and reluctantly swallow! God damn it! I bet if I ate McDonald’s all month that would be the month I get my bfp!

Congratulations nocats I’m so pleased for you and really hope everything goes well.

So sorry it’s not been your month this month bobo, I was really rooting for you.

I got ewcm yesterday and it feels wierd not to be ttc this month. We really need to go through the process with the RMC properly and no just hoping for the best next time. It’s been a tough couple of weeks tbh, DH was away for work last week and DS hasn’t been sleeping. DH is tired, full of cold and snappy now he is back- I almost preferred it when he was away (shhh!). We’ve been rowing a lot this week, I’m sure it’s because we haven’t DTD for ages. I just feel stuck in limbo but equally so scared of TTC again given our history

Haha @Claire138! Probably true! I have always gotten my bfps when I'm just doing whatever and not paying attention. Wish it was that easy to switch off now! I put my pineapple in the freezer to keep it longer and turns out defrosted fresh pineapple goes a bit soggy. So the core is not a problem but the texture is a bit squidgy! 😭
Fingers crossed it's all worth it for you!
Nah my symptoms seem to have died down a bit today although my boobs are still killing me and I still have alot of cm. I've been thinking and it's possible my dates are off. I usually have a 32/33 day cycle ovulate around day 20. This month (I think due to seed cycling for the past two months) I ovulated day 17. So I just assumed I'd have the same length luteal phase but I suppose if the follicular phase shortened maybe it could change too? So actually who knows when my period is due!? Possibly a long shot but maybe I'll get lucky after all. 🤞
