TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 18: Christmas cake for Christmas babies

[Daffodil77]

Here you go

@cakelaur it still is early. I don’t use those pregnancy tests so I’m not too sure how sensitive they are. Are they as sensitive as FRER? Maybe try one of those tomorrow?
Sorry @laney79 and @ek78 that you guys are currently going through this. I hope you guys can get through this stage soon ❤️
@boboelephant how are you getting on? BBT chart looking any clearer on the ovulation front?

@Claire138 yeah saving the frer for tomorrow or Saturday. I think they're 10 and frer are 5 in terms of sensitivity. So it should start to show something! 😭

Go for the frer tomorrow cake, you're not out yet, still very early x

Good luck Cakelaur!!!

@Llondbol oh no I’m so sorry
@Cakelaur it’s still very early and when I was pregnant those IC’s didn’t even show a faint line until about 15dpo whereas frer did at 10dpo, so I don’t really trust them! Good luck 🤞🏼

Ok. Frer tomorrow it is!!

Thanks ladies

Hang in there @Cakelaur - it's still early; you might get your faint line tomorrow or the next day 😁

@Patienceofatoddler I definitely get worse each cycle. Completely obsessed!
@Laney79 I'm so sorry. I'm glad the staff were understanding and I hope you are able to pass bean naturally in the next couple of weeks.
@Llondbol oh no so sorry hun! Stupid witch.
@Cakelaur sorry for your bfn too!! That sucks. Still early, I'm keeping everything crossed for you. Do the frer!!
@ek78 sorry this is dragging on for you. Hope tomorrow goes as smoothly as possible.
@Claire138 I have no idea! I had another temp drop this morning but ff is still saying I'm 6dpo. I am having cm still, tmi but feels very watery when wiping but when I check around cervix cm is sticky and sometimes stretchy but not EWCM. That stopped on Monday. I got a darker line again on an opk yesterday morning so thought I must not have ovulated yet and it was still coming but by yesterday eve line was almost gone. Now I've run out of opks!! 😭 Thought I brought heaps but because i thought I'd get a pos last Sun I clearly didn't bring enough. So very confused!!! I'll post chart and you girls can tell me what you think. I'm worried I've missed ovulation this month.

Thoughts oh wise chart experts?? Do you think I have ovulated? I think I could be 6dpo, 3dpo or it hasn't happened at all.

@Boboelephant I'd agree with ff. sometimes holidays can mess up cycles. I always ovulate a week late when I go away!! Haha. Weird right?!?

Thanks @Cakelaur. Not sure how I feel about that. We really only DTD day of if that's the case as DH was working late all week before holiday. Boo! I don't know much about the charts. Is today's temp dip a bad sign? Is it supposed to just stay up if you're pregnant? Or is it too early to tell and fluctuation is normal?

Bobo I'm no chart expert but could u have ovulated on day 11? There's a drop there and after that overall a climb??

@boboelephant it does make sense what FF is saying but it does seem odd to have ovulated much earlier than you normally do and confusing if you were still getting EWCM. If I were you I would keep enjoying the holiday and keep BDing. I wonder with being in a warmer climate (and are you sunbathing?) is making your temp higher pre-ovulation? Your temps are still at my pre-ovulation, my post ovulation temps are usually over 36.6. So many ifs and buts. Also don’t worry if it was on Friday...you only need the one time 🤞

Thanks @weasledee and @Claire138. I think CD11 would be way too early for me and cd14 would probably be the earliest as the temps stayed a bit more up after that. It is early for me as last month was cd17. But that said I have been seed cycling which is supposed to get your cycles back to normal 28 day length so maybe that shortened them again. Also I went to acupuncture cd12 as that was the latest I could go before holiday and she said I might ovulate early because she had stimulated the area. AND I just looked back on my posts here and saw that I said I was starting to feel pre-ov symptoms on cd11. Ooh so who knows!?? The EWCM is still confusing though. Also as you girls have said holidays can wreak havoc and I have been sunbaking every day. So who knows. I think this might be a month where I just have to wait for af or bfp. Good thing I'm so patient and not at all obsessive.... 🤦‍♀️

Well AF seems to be starting for me, so I'm out for this cycle. no 2018 baby for me I'm so disappointed. Even though my cycle is totally all over the place I was really hoping we'd be lucky.

And to make me feel even worse I just checked my facebook to be greeted with 2 scan pictures. I wish I could hide away from everything today but my toddler won't let me!

Thanks everyone for your kindness-still no movement for me-in fact the bleeding/discharge has stopped completely now.

@ek78 its rubbish isn't it. I should've been 12 weeks next week-scan was booked for Monday. I'm trying desperately to be positive. Two and a half weeks of grief/crying/devastation got me nowhere, so trying to be positive in the hope it helps my body let go. Am on a clock now. 13 days to miscarry or its pills, and I desperately want to avoid that if I can (more the physical act of being at the hospital than anything).

Fingers crossed things speed up for you and the medical management tomorrow isn't needed. Do let me know how you get on? Hugs

I'm looking forward to the day we can both post BFPs on here, and our healthy 12 week scan pics on the pregnant after loss thread. We will do this. Xxx

Sorry that af has arrived @sloeberrygin I really hope you get better news next month 🤞🏼
@Laney79 so sorry for what you are going through, I had a pretty similar experience in December. I started spotting, went for a scan and found baby had stopped growing, then was told to wait 2 weeks to MC naturally. I still hadn’t (despite bleeding so heavily & being in so much agony I could barely move for a good week) so I had to go back & book an appointment to take the pills as the bleeding had also started slowing down. They said I was unlikely to MC naturally. Then suddenly about 2 days later, on Christmas Eve, it finally happened. Just want to let you know I totally understand how you feel. It’s awful and heartbreaking. I hope that it (sadly) happens soon for you so it can just be over, all I wanted at the time was for it to be over too. The waiting to MC was just so painful. Sending hugs to you 💕

Ah @laney79 thank you for those encouraging words, much needed! I've been fine for the last few days but today I just felt really sad. I think things might finally be on the move for me as the bleeding has intensified a bit so I'm going to keep an eye on it tonight and then make the call about tomorrow...

@ek78 in the nicest possible way, as much as you never want these things to happen I hope that the signs prove correct and you get to avoid the appointment tomorrow. Hugs xx

So sorry the witch got you @Sloeberrygin.

AF came for me today so ordered conceive plus off amazon for this cycle.
Heads up to anyone wanting to try it, amazon have got a 15% off promotion if you buy two (I got the lube and applicators)

So sorry af got you too @DaisyMay25 but so glad it's not an EP! AF is a million times better. Fingers crossed for next month.

5dpo and have been bloted so obvs I must be preggers!!!

I'm sorry DaisyMay25 more BDing to come! I have invested in lots of new lingerie whcih is proving fun!

Haha @peachesarenom 😂 I'm 5dpo too! Symptom spotting at everything! 🤞
