TTC after pregnancy loss Thread 19- More cake for more babies

[Boboelephant]

I figured it out!

I’ve been AWOL over the weekend. Had a lovely girly weekend in Athens. I’m not really sure where I am in this cycle. I thought I’d ovulated mid last week but then had lots of what I thought was EWCM over the weekend....so figuring I’m out this month before I’ve even started 🤦🏼‍♀️! Ah well, I’ll know either way next week!

Not had a chance to catch up on everyone’s news yet. Fingers crosssd for some more BFP’s in April x

Thanks ladies. Loving the kind support this morning xx

@Cakelaur I don't know tbh how long my cycle is. I've never been regular so stopped paying attention! Plus I've been on bc for yrs on and off.
I stopped bc beginning of Dec '17 and luckily fell pregnant mid Jan.

Tracking ovulation is new to me. I think I've got it all sussed. I'm realising that all that goes out the window after a mc. So now I've stopped obsessing over symptoms and cm and just waiting for AF in hope I'll be on a even keel to start tracking and monitoring again.

ah @hayleyfx wtf??? Any better in different light? As a routine sufferer of early faint lines I feel for you, so damn confusing x well done for stiff upper lip, more than I managed this month. Still hope it develops for you.

Side note: anyone else love admiring the pretty jimjams / bathroom tile / bed linen in test pic backgrounds no just me then 😳 ?!

@daffodil77 I know the pain. I’m meant to be doing my chartership exams but since the mmc I just haven’t refocused myself and have put it off. Too easy to keep putting it off.
@hayleyfx that is so strange!! You def had a line on the last test. Sounds like you are very similar to @passtheaftereights. Do you know where you are in your cycle? I know you are having a confusing one this month as well.
Hi @dulwichdays sounds like a lovely break!! This month has been crazy...a lot of BFP’s and a lot of delayed ovulation.

Oh and @passtheaftereights I admire the fluffy pjs...I’m a big fan!!

Starting to hope wonder if there's a bad batch of FRER's in circulation, with too prominent indents. Have to do a CBD tomorrow for the final cycle of the trial so very much looking forward to that "not pregnant" confirmation not

@babynameedie hello! How you doin', where you at? Either CD 28 or 1 here, time will tell

@PassTheAfterEights thanks for checking in. No idea where I am. CD 26 but my cycles are usually 24-26. No sign of AF and lots of bfns 🤷🏻‍♀️ attempting patience!
Luckily work is busy so days going by relatively fast!

Just POAS my first negative. At 20 mins it's still negative.
Boobs feel like they're going to burst out of my bra. Think I'll put on a larger size!
At 34 day past mc do you think this will be AF or O?
I did have EWCM 2 weeks after mc but I've read this to be common. Certainly no fertile CM right now!
Am I right in thinking you can get AF without having a proper O?

@PassTheAfterEights I was staring at it for ages but still can’t see anything 🤦‍♀️ It’s so frustrating, happened last month too pretty sure that was a chemical and now again 🙄 I’m more confused than anything, despite the bfn I’m just feeling strangely positive this month 🤔😂 thank you!! Oh and I also admire other people’s pj’s and bed linen in pics!
@Claire138 I’m on CD24 but that’s all I know haha! No idea when I ovulated, no idea when next af is meant to come... what a confusing cycle 🤔 pretty sure the chemical last month threw things off a bit! Very frustrating, it’s been a confusing month for so many of us! 🤦‍♀️

@hayleyfx I’m CD25 so we are very close. I also don’t really no where I am lol I want to say I think I just ovulated but I’ve said that three times this month 😂 do you have many FRER? I just did a bulk buy on amazon for opk and FRER so I’ll be fully stocked again when they arrive 😄

@BabynameEdie thankyou! Fx for the rest of us! And your story made me laugh 💩🤣
@Claire138 I think if it's lighter then yesterday then yes.
@Daffodil77 congrats to DH! Mine is an accountant too and last year did a MBA and his CFA so I know about exams too! Hope your tww goes quickly.
@L1zz13 welcome and I hope it doesn't drag on too long for you. I think it can be so different for everyone! Sounds like af will start soon.
@hayleyfx oh that's rubbish!! I'm so sorry. Hope you get answers as to what is going on soon.
@PassTheAfterEights I do too. And will make sure I carefully consider my backdrop when I next post a test!! Hope all goes well with house!
@dulwichdays hello! Hope tww flies for you too.
Good luck to all of us still waiting and not knowing where the hell we are!! Cd32 here- 10dpo. Convinced one second I'm pregnant and the next that af is starting. Roll on Thursday.

@hayleyfx oh no! I'm so sorry to see this
But nice to see you're staying positive!

@L1zz13 not going to be super helpful but it could be either! My last MMC I ovulated 5 weeks after ERPC- so it could be. Also yes you're right, sometimes we might not ovulate after MC- so really it could be anything!

FFS! The test now has a faint line!
I know they say not read after the allocated time but the line is defo there!

Haha @boboelephant I've sent a few feat. bathroom bin instead of fluffy whites 😂 just love an interiors snoop (in a nice way)! Thank you - sounds like we'll know in the next couple of days - vendor threatening to remarket property for five days so pretty edge of our seats right now!

@hayleyfx me too, in Feb and March, Feb I put down to the miscarriage - didn't make any sense but wrote it off anyway - March I was pissed off and now I'm starting to wig out. Part of me hopes they are all indents and evaps rather than chemicals but if that's the case we must be doing something wrong 🤔

Ladies it was short lived! I've started full on bleeding, no surprise with that super faint line. I am gutted but onto next month.....

@weasledee oh hun I'm so sorry x

@weasledee I'm so sorry babe!! How awful!! Send big hugs and a puppy lick!!

Aw sorry @weasledee sending hugs x

PassTheAfterEights I think it's a cream you rub into your forearms. It ups the progesterone in your system which I think helps beam stick.

Posted too soon!

Meant to say I'm really sorry
weasledee,

Cakelaur what brand of progesterone cream are you using?

@weasledee I'm so sorry. 🍫

@passtheaftereights I've used the cream last cycle. My temperatures were high until AF and AF came quickly with no spotting. On some cycles since MC I'd had mid-cycle spotting and spotting before AF. I'd also had temps declining from mid luteal phase. These can all be signs of low progesterone.

I use the serenity cream. It's quite pricey but you use the tiniest bit each day and only after ovulation. I read that you need to continue using it into pregnancy so your progesterone levels don't suddenly drop.

I'll be using it going forward from about 3dpo, once temps have confirmed ovulation.

@weasledee @hayleyfx so sorry Definitely a wine and chocolate day. Xx

@weaseldee so sorry, horrible outcome. Hope for better luck for you in May x

@Daffodil77 @peachesarenom thanks so much, that's fascinating - will certainly look for some x

Ladies can I ask if any of you have looking into your heart rate pattern during your cycles using a Fitbit (other brands are available lol ;)

@weasledee and @hayleyfx really sorry. That's so disappointing.
@Laney79 It just sounds so hard at the moment. I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time. As someone else, make sure you're kind to yourself
@Daffodil77 brilliant news about your husband! Perhaps this is the start of more things coming your way.
@L1zz13 AF came after 8 weeks for me, which seemed like a very long time. I kept getting positive tests for nearly 5 weeks, which also felt like a very long time. I think there's a really wide range of normal from reading different people's experiences on here, but maybe ring your epu if you're worried? All the waiting is so exhausting though!
