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

@Cakelaur that is Sod's law but at least you've been at it regularly on the days beforehand. Fingers crossed for you.

Faint positive for me this morning so not quite there yet but getting some cheapie opks so I can monitor those (not used them before but want to keep track of my cycle so I know it's all working).

Cakelaur · 27/02/2018 07:51

So very definite peak and positive this morning. But my temp has already shot up. And I'm gutted hubby was away with work last night. So we only managed Friday, sat, Sunday. If I've already ovulated, without warning I hope we've done enough this month!!!

Hope today goes well @YassQueen - I was so nervous when I went back but it was all ok x

@Boboelephant Still no AF...Did a cheeky test this morning because I can't help myself 🙈 Didn't get my BFP in December until 18dpo, so at 12dpo it was a BFN as expected! But it scratched an itch! Does anyone know if your luteal phase can change after MC? I suppose it could be that - was always 11 days before the MC x

Hi all- was starting to get a little excited but af turned up Sunday morning cd 28!!! Have had 26 day cycles for months!! I’m off to the doctors next Monday to try & get some help with very exaggerated pms symptoms especially migraines, sinc mc’s I suffer so much & it’s all getting a bit on my wick if I’m honest! I think my hormones oestrogen & progesterone are out of whack to much of one & not enough of the other🙈
I hope you are all ok & so sorry to hear all you new ladies, sending love & hugs on this snowy ⛄️Day

Boboelephant · 27/02/2018 12:06

@Cakelaur at least you got the 3 nights in before! I reckon chuck another one in for good measure tonight and you should be great! I thought once the opk went pos you still had 48 hours til ov?
@Llondbol fingers crossed! I'm not an expert but heard cycles can be out if whack for 6 months post mc so wouldn't be surprised.
@Lovemysparkle sorry the witch got you. Hope the doc can help!!

DaisyMay25 · 27/02/2018 12:41

@Kate8989 you heard anything from the hospital yet?

Kate8989 · 27/02/2018 12:52

@DaisyMay25- no haven’t heard anything yet. Will see if I hear tomorrow, if not will chase it up. How are things with you? X

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 27/02/2018 12:55

Oh! I was wondering why the hell the other thread's been quiet all week! Grin

DaisyMay25 · 27/02/2018 13:21

@Kate8989 I probably won't hear anything for another two weeks yet. The pains are worse when I'm walking about so relaxing is nice. How're your pains? x

@UnicornsandRainbows1 haha welcome, how're you doing?!

Kate8989 · 27/02/2018 13:44

@DaisyMay25- I should imagine it will be the same kind of wait time for me aswell. I’ve been trying to work out if my pains are worse after walking and think they are slightly. I was walking around London on Saturday and was getting the worst pain. How are you keeping your spirits up? All this has really got me down, I’d sew my hot water bottle into my skin if I could 😂 we’ve become best of friends xx

Eastend2015 · 27/02/2018 15:28

@unicorns it’s your scan tomorrow no? I hope everything goes well. Gutted we won’t be getting good news at ours but intending to go anyway to get the all clear and to get this pregnancy documented.

@dulwich interesting to hear the nhs offered counselling, it might be worth me asking them if they can offer anything. I’m trying hard to stay positive and it’s good we have something in the diary with the RMC but i’m finding it hard that this pregnancy just... ended. No warning and pretty strong symptoms. I just don’t get it!

ANewHope18 · 27/02/2018 17:11

It appears that we did catch ovulation a couple of weeks ago. I have a faint bfp on an internet cheapie. I feel happy, embarrassed, guilty, scared. So many things. I'm so confused and I'm sorry that I'm saying this here when a bfp is what everyone wants. I know it's early days and I'll be devastated if it doesn't work out but I do feel so guilty that I've not given us long enough to grieve. I'm still grieving! Sorry for my rambling.

DaisyMay25 · 27/02/2018 17:31

@ANewHope18 congrats! Any pics of the line?? Don't apologise at all fx for a sticky bean!!

@Kate8989 I've had a constant hot water bottle too. Not looking forward to working on Thursday, I'm just gonna try and take it easy. Hopefully we both get some answers soon! xx

weasledee · 27/02/2018 18:14

Congrats new hope!! :) x

ANewHope18 · 27/02/2018 18:41

Thank you @daisymay25 and @weaseldee. Early days, only approx 12 dpo. Very faint line pic attached. Now worrying it's still hormones from last pregnancy even though I've had 3 definite negatives and been testing for ovulation. Someone stop my brain from overthinking!

@NewHope18 Congratulations that's fantastic news, really hoping it's a sticky one for you Smile

Boboelephant · 27/02/2018 19:02

Congratulations @ANewHope18!!

Kate8989 · 27/02/2018 19:02

@DaisyMay25- i got my hot water bottle for Christmas and miscarried 2 weeks later. Not sure how I feel about that 🙁......
What do you do for work? I’ve booked back in at the Doctors for Friday. The aftermath of MC is such a grey area, I just think if I have questions I need to go and get them answered. I’m worried I may have an infection of some sort and need antibiotics? X

HidCat · 27/02/2018 19:02

@ANewHope18 congratulations!

Don't feel guilty for not allowing long enough to grieve. The new pregnancy has probably just brought out a lot of emotions. 🤞this one sticks. xx

Claire138 · 27/02/2018 19:13

Congratulations @anewhope18 great news!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 27/02/2018 19:29

@Eastend2015 It is. I'm so gutted for you, it's such a shit situation that I won't bring it up on here. I remember the feeling between wanting to be happy for someone but feeling so sad for myself and wanting any updates to just go away that the guilt was ridiculous. I wouldn't wish that on anyway, especially not you or the others here

Primrose16 · 27/02/2018 20:00

@ANewHope good news

Evening everyone, thought i would pop on here if that's ok. Part way through my first MC at 10+4 weeks (started bleeding 16th Feb). Had to go into hospital as the bleeding and pain was so bad they put me on bloomin morphine! Anyway they originally thought i was wrong about my dates at the ultrasound, this was after I was taken to the ward, as all that was there was the sac and stem but no heartbeat.

I'm home now and had my second scan yesterday and the sac has completely collapsed but alot is left and cervix has now dilated. They sent me away with some Doxycycline and told me to call them with a preg test result in 2 weeks. Is that normal? I'm not looking forward to the milestones the most, we would have been telling friends and family this week.

I'm so sorry for everyone else's losses, this is really tough. 💗

Funkyemzie · 27/02/2018 20:09

@ANewHope18 huge congratulations lovely, take it easy! Xxx

ANewHope18 · 27/02/2018 20:11

Thanks all. Crossing my fingers for more bfps x
