Fingers crossed for you ek78, but if it is AF arriving I hope she gets on with it soon so you can start a new cycle.

strawberrye always glad to put a smile on someone's face. Wink Glad for you that you've not had an eptopic, but sorry to hear you've had a second MC. Hugs xx

Boboelephant I think she said 4 weeks from first negative pregnancy test just to help them with dating. The other doctor I saw and the nurse both said it's best to wait until after first period, but I think this lady took pity on me because it's been such a drawn out process from start to finish (MMC, two failed medical managements and eventual surgical management followed by very prolonged and slow drop in HCG), so she told me that in case I wanted to try straight away (but also made sure I knew she wasn't assuming I wanted to). Lovely lady, actually. Can't fault the care I've received. It makes the world of difference to feel supported and well looked after by the hospital staff.

sweetpea0318 Sorry about your BFN. Fingers firmly crossed for you.

Well I think my symptoms were all just signs of AF getting on her broomstick to come for a visit. Today on the way home I was just thinking that I hadn't had any signs or symptoms of either pregnancy or period and then felt a mini gush down there (I think my body has a serious irony issue). Thought it might have been CM, but it looks like AF has arrived. I totally forgot about PMS (never had it on the pill); that totally explains the mood swings! Wink

I’m loving the JKS motto, that’s gonna be my motto for this month 🤣

@strawberrye I’m glad you finally have answers and also that it’s not an ectopic. I’m so sorry though, that’s rubbish. Sending you lots of hugs Flowers
@Boboelephant ooh getting close! I get so excited at positive OPK’s 🤣
@Eastend that’s great that you’ve got counselling sessions, I think somewhere to vent and let it all out will definitely help. I hope it does. Really hope you’re feeling more positive soon, it’s so hard though I know!

Boboelephant · 04/05/2018 18:08

@strawberrye I'm so so sorry for your second MC. Really glad it wasn't an ectopic. I hope you get your sticky bean soon.
@L1zz13 I'm the same! Mine are all over the place and if I get 30 days it's a good cycle! I'm expecting to ovulate tomorrow too so fx for us both. Also have the killer back pain!! It is crap!
@Eastend2015 so glad they sorted it so quickly for you. I hope it helps.
@KnitKitty I'm sorry if af has got you but glad you know where you stand. Onto next month!! 🤞🤞
@hayleyfx thanks. Me too!!

HidCat · 04/05/2018 19:07

@strawberrye so sorry but glad you're feeling fairly positive. 🤗

@Eastend2015 so good that you're getting the counselling that you need.

Cakelaur · 04/05/2018 19:39

@strawberrye so sorry babe. I'm glad you finally have answer I'm just sad that it's what you suspected. But like you said.. silver lining it's not ectopic.
@KnitKitty sorry the witch got ya. But equally now it's a clean slate to start again.
@Eastend2015 hopefully the counselling can give you that avenue to vent. Hope it works for you.
@L1zz13 hope you do O in the next couple days. Cycles post mc are always a mystery.
@Boboelephant good luck with the shagging!! Hope your friends don't mind! Haha!! Maybe if you conceive you can name bub after them!! 😉 or alternatively give it the initials of JKS! 😂

Boboelephant · 04/05/2018 20:06

Haha @Cakelaur my surname actually starts with S so could totally work!! 🤣🤣

YellowDaffodils86 · 04/05/2018 20:06

@Boboelephant todays one was negative. Sitting at the same as the others. I feel as if iv had a few fertile days, but app says ov day is 9/5. So as will JKS 😂

@Cakelaur ohhh lovely double rainbow 🌈
Gotta mean something!

@BabynameEdie hows it going?

@strawberrye im so sorry, but im pleased it wasn't ectopic. Hopefully be back in fw soon. Sending hugs.

@L1zz13 i will 😝 are you now in tww??

@sweetpea0318 i know how you feel with impatience, im always impatient with everything! TTC does not suit me!!
I think AF will come soon.

Cakelaur · 04/05/2018 20:12

Boom!!! @Boboelephant I'm gonna hold you to it!!! PLEASE LET THIS BE THE MONTH!!! It will go down in history!!! A baby named with the initials JKS!! It's perfect!! 😂

BabynameEdie · 04/05/2018 21:41

Hey @YellowDaffodils86 all good here thanks, super busy at work (just got in 😒) so it's keeping me distracted but have got a bit I'm bored of opks so haven't done one today and now worried I'll have missed it! Ah well. Still keeping up the marathon but have to say we missed a day yesterday..both so knackered! Going to test now... poas Friday here I come!

@Boboelephant @Cakelaur Hehe yes to JKS!! 😂

BabynameEdie · 04/05/2018 21:48

Yep, negative as ever here!

@Boboelephant glad to hear yours is darkening - woop woop! Hope @YellowDaffodils86 and I won't be much further behind.
Anyone else in the same FW waiting game? 😀

@strawberrye so sorry to hear your news, hope you're ok. Sending love & hugs x

L1zz13 · 04/05/2018 22:59

Today's opks are just as light as negative can get.
Wondering if they might be dodgy as I did an hcg one by mistake. It came out with the same as my opks and it's impossible I can be pregnant!
So ignoring them and going by my body I have either O'd or about to (or not).
Hubbo pissed and asleep on the sofa I have the bed to myself. Hoorah. Not feeling horny anymore!!😉

On a serious note... well done to you all and thanks for sharing your happy and sad news. You're a wonderful group of strong ladies.

HidCat · 05/05/2018 06:28

@L1zz13 sorry the opks haven't told you anything. I wonder if your surge was just super quick and in the middle of the night. I only had one positive opk and it was faint 5 hours before and the following morning so it's possible.

Got some spotting this morning. Major PMS yesterday (pains, emotional, didn't sleep etc) the likes of which I've never experienced before so it's definitely AF but so glad things are finally getting back to "normal" 15 weeks after my miscarriage.

Hope everyone has lovely plans for the Bank Holiday weekend. The sun is out here so we're off to Folly Farm in West 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 for my DS and nephews birthdays. Better find the sun cream 🕶☀️

Cakelaur · 05/05/2018 08:16

@L1zz13 WHAT??? the hcg has a line on it???

L1zz13 · 05/05/2018 09:23

In the box of opks were some hcg tests I picked out the the wrong one and it had a feint positive.
I tried a different brand one and that was neg.
will double check with my 1st wee of the day ( I'm chillazing in bed still).
No way that's is true positive. I reckon it's either faulty or left over from mc.

Cakelaur · 05/05/2018 10:02

@L1zz13 how many days ago was your mc?

YellowDaffodils86 · 05/05/2018 10:11

🎉🎉 app re calculated ovulation day tomorrow!!
Timing couldn't be worse, have little brother staying this evening and birthday drinks for dh tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully he wont be too drunk to BD! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Enter a whole world of depression as I came across this thing call ‘anovulatory cycle’. Perhaps I didn’t and won’t ovulate at all this cycle. Perhaps I have trouble ovulating. Because I religiously do the OPKs and they’re all negative and now that I come to think about it my period has been pretty light which could mean it’s not real period but just withdrawal bleeding.
Next cycle I will do the basal temperature chart as well to make sure I can track that ovulation really happens.

dulwichdays · 05/05/2018 13:14

Ok so you’re all going to think I’ve lost the plot. AF arrived bang on time March 27th and was a normal period.
Last 2 days I’ve had nausea similar to my previous pregnancy and just generally feeling a bit crap. I know it’s totally illogical that I could be pregnant but it’s amazing how my brain can’t stop thinking of the what if’s!

OP posts:
L1zz13 · 05/05/2018 13:50

Ive just read through the reviews on Amazon where I bought my opks. A few people are saying the lines don't darken as much as other brands. That might explain why a surge is not being seen.
As for hcg no idea. But tested with two other brands and they are neg.

L1zz13 · 05/05/2018 13:56

@Cakelaur my mc was on the 15th March. I'm sure the hcg was faulty. I might contact the supplier to complain or at least make them aware. I am defo not pregnant! There is just no way. Shagging and timings just don't match up in the slightest!

Cakelaur · 05/05/2018 14:09

Hmmm. Have you had a period since then? My LMP was 13th March, I'm now 7 weeks. Is there NO WAY you could have ovulated 10days a go? Showing a very early bfp?

L1zz13 · 05/05/2018 16:18

@Cakelaur 10 days okay was my last day of Af. Highly unlikely. Plus there was no shagging on Af. I have white sheets lol 😂
I reckon mc related. My back has been sore for 4 days now. Not 100% if it's physical exercise or gynae related. But if gynae maybe I've still got some retained stuff hiding in there.
Just looked at one of the tests i did hours ago. 2/3 are now faint pos!

I know they suggest they should not be read out of the time frame but as I'm not taking them seriously it doesn't really matter.
