TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

[L1zz13]

New thread 🐧🐧

Thanks guys, I'm not convinced it's a real line but I'm hoping it is. I do feel horrendous today but I could be coming down with something I'm 12dpo so I'd think a line would be stronger?
@hayleyfx you testing tomorrow too? I'll probably test again when I get home from work... I'm terrible haha

@DaisyMay25 I’m feeling the same way - I’m just so not convinced but have been feeling sick for the past few days, it comes and goes but I didn’t think anything of it, so fingers crossed for us both! I’m going to test in the morning I literally can’t wait any longer tbh if I had more cheapies I’d probably test tonight too!! 🙈🤣

@KnitKitty I still get optimistic every month and Google ridiculous things. I keep hearing that when people stop hoping that's when they fall but I can't seem to do that! Always hopeful. I'm hopeful it will finally pay off! 😫 Your dad does sound lovely and it's good to talk about it. The feelings don't magically just disappear. I had my EP 18 months ago and my MC 6 months ago and still think about them all the time. I echo what @HidCat said. My losses still make me so sad but my life is happy.
@RedRobin7 I totally know what you mean. I drive myself crazy with my thoughts too. That's tough with your sister being heavily pregnant too. I hope you fall soon!
@DaisyMay25 you could just have a late implanter. @Cakelaur didn't get her line until 15dpo! A faint line at 12dpo is still a line! Fx it gets darker soon. You too @hayleyfx.
Ahhh I so hope i get my line soon. I've been on this thread for too long!!!

@Boboelephant that's very true, I did have really bad cramps yesterday so could've been implantation? I'm not getting my hopes up these tests love to play games with me! I really hope you get yours soon! Where are you in your cycle?

@hayleyfx I just did one after a four hour hold and got the same line after just two minutes, I don't wanna be too hopeful.. let me know how you get on in the morning! I start work at 4:30am tomorrow so will be doing one very early!

Hello Ladies,

I just thought i'd pop by and see how you are all doing?

We had a scare this week, spotting started at the same point we had the MC in Feb but thankfully the scan today showed everything to be okay. It was so frightening.

Fingers crossed for more BFPs soon. It's POAS Friday! x

I think I'll end up peeing on another stick tonight, I'm so impatient! I'm just so worried it'll end badly again. I know poas won't help, and I know I won't change the outcome but makes me feel better.

Glad everything is ok pumkin

Hi @PumpkinPatch000! Glad everything turned out ok!

@Wellthisunexpected if it helps you relax, go for it!

Good Luck! @Wellthisunexpected if it makes you feel better, go for it.

Thank you @Wellthisunexpected & @Hidcat

Argh @L1zz13 so sorry to hear about your crappy night. Hope you have a less eventful weekend.
Congrats to the BFPs!
I’m on day 5 of the blimmin flashey smiley opks. I usually only get 2 before the fixed smiley. Maybe I missed the surge or maybe no ovulation for me this month? 🙁 Trying not to obsess and JKS... cocktails for me tonight anyway.

@KnitKitty I totally get what you mean with the optimism - I keep symptom spotting and feeling like I'm setting myself up for disappointment. I think it's one of the worst things about TTC after mc - the whole mind game- do you just ignore what's happening- do you try and be pessimistic or optimistic. You start thinking if I can do this different this time or think that way this time all will be well but ultimately it's just whatever you feel you need to think and do to get though this process I think in the end just don't put be hard on yourself to think or feel a particular way as this sh!t is hard. I'm currently in the optimism for getting pregnant but definite pessimism for staying pregnant at the mo I think!

@RedRobin7 sorry for your situation with family. It is just rubbish. You feel like you want to say something but don't want them to feel like they can't talk about what's happening with them. Maybe you could open up about how your feeling about things generally at the mo with them if there's an opportunity & then they might think a bit more before constant baby talk? Is tricky though and depends how much you want to share with them too.

@ek78 I've had a whole week of flashing before getting my solid smiley so you might not have missed it. Keep testing. I also use the cheap ones alongside those so I have two types to rely on.

Thanks @redrobin - i’ll keep testing. I haven’t had much luck with the cheap ones before as I can never hold my wee for 4 hrs but might check in with one as I do have a couple in the cupboard of sticks...

Oops, I mean @redrobin7.

Hello ladies well I'm totally fed up AF finished, fw seams forever away and I'm dwelling on what the scan on my ovaries will say. How do I keep my mind off this.

Congratulations on all the bfp I've been seeing fx and sticky wishes for you xx

@ek78 I always test first thing in the morning but have also found I've had an equal line on the cheap sticks in the evening. I drink about 8 pints of water a day and always going to the loo but still managed to detect.

I read on a post earlier to avoid doing it first thing but I'm not really sure why! It's worked for me though 😊

@DaisyMay25 I think this is your month! 🤞🤞 Thanks hun. Ahh nowhere of importance. CD8. Just waiting.... I ovulated day 16 earliest since MC (latest 22) so a bit more hanging around.
@PumpkinPatch000 so glad everything is ok!!! No POAS Friday for me but next week I'm there!!
@ek78 enjoy your cocktails! I'm sure you'll get your solid smiley soon.

@Boboelephant you're the same as me- I'm CD8 too! Considering when to test next week... Thinking Thursday as will be pretty busy Friday. Knowing me will probably cave and test before though
🙈

@Jessabean I wish we were twins but I have a feeling you are 8dpo. I wish I was there but I'm only cycle day 8. Waiting for fertile week to start which is still 4 days away at least. 😫 Next week testing for me will just be opks. When is af due for you? If I was you I'd be testing Tuesday so Thursday is good will power!

Congrats to all the bfps. Sorry been a bit awol. Had my 10week scan after some mega panicking but all is fine.

Hope everyone is ok. Xx

Glad all is well @Cakelaur.

Glad all is well @Cakelaur

@ek78 do you have to hold your wee for four hours with cheapie opks? I haven't been! Not that it really matters at the mo with the bleeding and what not...but still!

@DaisyMay25 ooh that’s definitely promising! I’m so nervous to test again incase the line isn’t any darker but fingers crossed we both get darker lines tomorrow! 🤞

@PumpkinPatch00 I’m glad everything is okay!

@Wellthisisunexpexted I’m feeling the same way, I’m just so nervous as I don’t feel like I can handle another loss! I’ve got everything crossed that everyone with BFP’s/faint lines have very sticky beans 🤞

@Cakelaur I’m so glad your 10 week scan went well!

I really want to tell my OH tonight when he gets home from work but I’m also so scared to tell him and then it end up being another chemical. He just wants this so much and I’m scared to tell him unless I get a nice dark line... don’t know what to do! Wish I could stop worrying so much 🙄

Okay I just found another cheapie test (I seem to have them randomly stashed around the house 🤣) and decided if this one has another faint line then I’m telling my OH tonight. I did the test on about a 2 hour hold so it wasn’t very strong but there’s a line! I’m gonna tell him when he’s home so I’m sitting here shaking like a leaf desperate for him to get home haha!! I’ll post the pics, I think it’s a tiny bit darker? Only a tiny bit though. Retesting in the morning & feeling more nervous than ever 🤞
