TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

[L1zz13]

New thread 🐧🐧

@maxiflump1 I see it too! Great!

Ok ladies, I think I might be already out for this month I’m Onto my NINTH flashy smiley so going to stop opks for the month now- unless I get physical signs that suggest ov. Maybe an anovolutary cycle? Or else I missed the surge by testing once a day.

maxiflump1 I see a line! Please test again in a couple of days. :)

ek78 I'm hoping you did or are going to ovulate this month. JKS!

@maxiflump1 defo a line, didn't even need to open the pic. Good luck for a very uneventful pregnancy lovely.

@ek78 my surges are very quick I think, yesterday I had an almost but not tested today, never had a test as dark as the control line, I just use them as more of a round about method. I temp and keep track of cm. Fingers crossed for you lovely.

We dtd last night and going to continue for the next 3 nights.

Thanks @knitknitty and @Funkyemzie, yes a case of JKS and then see what happens! I keep an eye on cm and to me it looks like either I’m not going to ovulate or I missed it. Oh well it takes some of the stress out of the 2ww.

Congratulations to those with BFPs very happy for you! I agree about hearing updates - it gives the rest of us hope.

My day has started shitty after a call from the midwife telling me I forgot about my 22wk check up at 9am this morning! Needless to say she was very embarrassed and apologetic when I explained she obviously didn't get the memo 🙄 Ugh! Feeling very sad now.

maxiflump I see it! Congratulations, wishing lots of luck and stickyness

haleyfx and wellthisisunexpected hooray for digital, official looking bfps

boboelephant sorry about the slump. Ttc after losses is so exhausting and fraught, it's valid to feel pissed off now and then. The health kick sounds like a good plan.. gives something to tempt fate to interupt

You're so supportive to the whole community on this thread, there will be a whole army of women crossing their fingers for you this month!

YellowDaffodil weird period sounds like a good theory. That would put you approaching fw? Good luck, I hope you have a nice predictable cycle with a happier ending than guesswork!!

I'm still none the wiser CD44 and still bfns with increasingly sore boobs. Who knows?! My gut says another failing pregnancy.

@redrobin7 argh! I am so sorry you had to go through that. Those moments are like being punched in the face. Sending lots of love. Go gentle on yourself today.
@bobotheelephant I totally agree with @serenaoverjoyed - you are so supportive here and I for one will jump for joy when you get your BFP! Army of penguin women rooting for you!

@Boboelephant I'm still here too babe routing for your bfp!!! Just waiting til you hit FW and I'll start chanting and doing the magical baby dance in your direction 💃

@RedRobin7 So sorry for you! It's an awful feeling when you know where you should be buy instead you're analysing every CM, every temp and every day!! Sending hugs to you!
And good luck to all the others waiting for those BFP's! X

Thanks ladies. DH said he couldn't see anything but then I did wake him up thrusting it in his face at 6.30 this morning! Will resist the urge to test for a few days!

Sorry to those of you who are at struggling

@Boboelephant I hope you're doing ok? Straight into the huddle with you methinks 🐧.

@SerenaOverjoyedI hope it's not bad news for you but we're here either way. 🐧

@maxiflump1 that's so hilarious thrusting it in front of DH at 630! What a wake up call. ✋🏼hi five to the men out there enduring this with us!
@SerenaOverjoyed keeping my fx for you xx
@Boboelephant thankful for my positive day yesterday and fx for a positive month ahead. I'm CD2 today and I was thinking of starting the OPK when AF finishes, so far it all appears normal after MC, just a normal AF, no clots, no excessive bleeding so all positive so far xx

@Boboelephant I totally agree with @SerenaOverjoyed and @ek78 ! 🐧 hugs and luck to you!

@maxiflump1 I see a squinter! Fx for you !!!

So AF arrived last night- CD25, which is a bit weird. Usually my cycles are between 27-29 days- and it's a strange brownish mucusy consistency- sorry if TMI- but this is AF 3 after my last MC, I thought things would start getting back to Normal by now! No wonder I was having strange symptoms the other day... oh well!

I'm seeing Dr S next Monday so hoping he has a plan for me and then maybe we can start TTCing next cycle! Yikes!

Woohoo @maxiflump1. Congratulations!!!
@hayleyfx thankyou. I read your message and it's snapped me out of my slump. You're right. It will happen when it's right, I've always been a believer in things happen when they should. I will just continue trying to be healthy and JKS and leave it up to fate as much as I can.
@ek78 I don't use the flashing ones so not too sure. Have you had any physical symptoms to make you think you might have ovulated?
@RedRobin7 oh that's so tough. Sending hugs to you.

@SerenaOverjoyed, @ek78, @Cakelaur and @zarala thankyou all so much. I got a bit teary reading your posts. It feels so nice to have all your support- my little anonymous ttc village!!! Please aim that baby dancing and chanting my way @Cake! I want to catch your preggers vibes!! 🤣

@SerenaOverjoyed oh I'm so sorry this is still dragging on for you. What cycle are you post MC? I really hope it's not a failed pregnancy.
@HidCat feeling much more positive today.
@MrsGS76 sounds positive!
@zarala hope Dr S has lots of answers for you!

So i has a temp rise yesterday so ovulation defo occurred when I got those positive sticks...
So I'm now 2 DPO.....

@ek78 it's a good job we did JKS yesterday, tests are back to negative now but a clear shift in temp this morning.

@maxiflump1 I see it!

Those OV tests are getting darker, but not near yet I don't think.

Fingers crossed it's your month @wealedee

weasledee fx the next 10 days speed by and bring you some good news

RedRobin Just read about your phone call, ouch! That must have been a real slap in the face. I hope you do something nice for yourself today

Zarala there seems to be a spate of period weirdness! Good luck with the new cycle and Dr S' regime

maxiflump lol at the pee stick alarm clock!

boboelephant I'm probably not pregnant but still totally up for a collective fertility dance. I'm sure people have done weirder things ttc! Teach us the steps cakelaur?

My 2nd mc was in March, and I either had a weird 3rd mc in April (would have conceived 2 days after mc) or I had retained product that made my hcg creep up. I had an ultrssound but as my hcg was in the 40s there was nothing to be seen, so I have no idea! I seem to get pregnant really easily but I just never get to week 6 before miscarrying.

Hi everyone!
I'm 5DPO today and have mild cramping (more niggles than cramps) and heavy boobs today!
@SerenaOverjoyed like you I tend to have no issue falling pregnant (or haven't up til now) but keeping bubs safe in there is my issue! X

Hi all,

Does this look like the day Ovia thinks I will ovulate?
I’ve just been back through my 3 previous cycles where I have gotten pregnant and a common theme seems to be that I have dtd on cycle day 14 however dh was too tired last night so we have dtd on cycle day 10, 13 and hopefully tonight on 15.

Hoping that’s enough 🙈

Ok so I think I'm out this cycle now 🙁 Took another FRER this morning and looks no different from the first which it really should be by now (pretty sure I'm about 11dpo) if it was happening I think. That and I had a slight temp drop this morning too so pretty sure AF will be making an appearance in the next couple of days.

Feel so gutted. Properly got my hopes up this month- as I'd felt so rough the last few days and had cramping. Now not sure if it's a stomach bug or my body just playing cruel tricks on me!
Doubly rubbish as means I'm now out till August too as my OH is going away with work for 6weeks next Wednesday and will probs just miss my July FW on return. First Due Date is beginning of August and I've got some big work exams/stress gearing up around then too. Plus to top it off just got a letter from landlord yesterday saying we need to move by August as they're wanting to sell our rental flat. So just generally rubbish all round!

At least have a friends wedding this weekend and then off following weekend on holiday for a week with friends to try and take my mind away from all of this hopefully. Will try and use the time to heal & get back to pre TTC shape physically.

Sorry for the rant!

@RedRobin7 that is so rubbish of them! They really need to sort out their IT systems there as is so cruel.

Good luck to those of you testing in next few days& also to those entering 2WW (stay strong!) and those getting ready/starting to JKS!

So nice to pop back on this thread and see so many BFPs!

I got my af exactly 4 weeks after my ERPC, right on schedule, so I was pleased my body seems to have got back to normal. It was very painful though! I'm cd5 today and thank you to the lady who recommended the opks, I'm going to start using them this cycle. I still think it's going to be a miracle to get pregnant again but I want to give myself the best chance.

Good luck to you all, hope you are all well xx

Just popped by to catch up with everyone 👋🏼

Back ache has cleared up. Scan tomorrow morning and my pg test was super faint at the weekend.

Got the tricky job of deciding wether to continue with ttc. Hubbo does not want me to ever have to go through that again! I'm going to have to respect that and get on with living rather than this horrid limbo.

Bring on those bfp's. Xx

@Boboelephant I'm here and thinking of you. You give so many of us such amazing support and I hate to think you're feeling low. Just read back through lots of messages but particularly wanted to send you penguin huddle vibes so you know you're not alone. This will happen for you, although as I've found once I'm here it's bloody terrifying, but obviously still a good thing. I hope you don't mind me posting I just wanted to give you some ❤️ as you have given me so so much over the last few months. I'm about to start some gentle yoga, fancy joining? I feel if I have someone I'm committing it to then I might actually do it! Am going to just use YouTube so not spending lots of money. Lots of love x

@Boboelephant I hope you manage to feel more positive this month and I hope it does work for you. You really deserve your BFP and hopefully very soon. You give us all amazing support and I just want to see you finally get your BFP!! Fingers, toes, everything crossed for you! 🤞

@RedRobin7 oh no I’m sorry. It’s rubbish when something like that happens and ruins your day. I hope you’re okay!

@SerenaOverjoyed thank you hun!!

@L1zz13 I hope you’re out of limbo soon, glad you’re feeling a bit better!

@JessaBean I’m sorry. You’re not out yet though, at 11dpo my line was so faint that I was convinced it was going to be a chemical then the next day - BFP! You never know. I hope you still get your bfp and if not this cycle then fingers crossed for next month!! 🤞
