TTC After Pregnancy Loss Thread 22.

[HidCat]

🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

A thread for all those who have suffered the loss of a much wanted baby. Affectionately know as the penguin huddle.

We'll start with a roll call as there have been so many new members lately and so many success stories that I think we've all lost track.

@redrobin7 fingers crossed for a more definitive positive over the next few days but tentative congratulations on the mean time.

@littleemma1 yay for natural af and great news it should be fine for your wedding so you can relax and enjoy your day and fx for a honeymoon baby.

@hayleyfx that's great news looking forward to more updates.

@hayleyfx that's great news hun post pics when you get them x

@hayleyfx that's great news, I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations @RedRobin7 and @hayleyfx , so very pleased for you guys xx
@Anyday88 , I got a flashy smiley face on a Tues PM, then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Then on the Saturday I got the static smiley face x fx for you x
@KnitKitty and @sweetpea0318 I can totally relate, the TTC ovulation week was very stressful but I tried my hardest to bring some fun into it.... anyway on 2 separate occasions over the week my DH could not 'perform' now this has never ever happened in our 15yr relationship, it was definitely stressful for him having to perform on tap and I felt awful like I was pressuring him . I feel sorry for the men sometimes as we don't acknowledge their commitment to the cause! This is only our first month of TTC after MC , god knows how some men may feel if this was to happen month after month?
Sending hugs to all x

@littleemma1 Fantastic idea , have a fabulous wedding and enjoy married life!!!
@strawberrye , I used the clearblue digital OPK and same like you got a solid face day 3/4 , Looking on the 'google'. other people have had a steady face after 9 days so I'd say continue testing as long as you've got the large pack . Fx for you

@strawberrye just further ... the google says your LH surge can last between 1hr - 1 day so if you only test once a day you may miss it. It will still be detecting estrogen hence the flashy smiley face. X

@hayleyfx yay! Amazing news! Fingers crossed for a wonderful, easy and healthy pregnancy ! Please do keep us posted

@littleemma1 sounds like a perfect plan! Honestly ! Enjoy your husband and married life and just see what happens! All the best to you!

@Anyday88 I am also a totally beginner - this month I had 4 flashing smiles before the static one. But I've read it can be longer ! Good luck to you!

Fx @RedRobin7 That those lines progress nicely and everything continues smoothly for you!

I'm still dpo7 here (seems to be dragging) I have had niggling sensations in my lower abdomen all day and now my dreaded lower back ache has returned!
I also had 2 strange phone calls today- one from my grandmother and one from my MIL- both said they'd dreamt I am pregnant and asking me if we have started TTC yet. We're not telling anyone we're even trying so I'm hoping all their witchy power is correct and this is a good omen! 🙏🏽

Congratulations @RedRobin7 definitley lines there! But good idea to take a digital test and see it in writing. I did that when I got ny bfp before mc as I wanted to be sure. I can't remember who said it as just caught up on lots of messages. But I agree I really want a bfp but also know once I do I'll be in worry mode. But still hoping for a bfp!! Af should be due end of this week as its 4 weeks since my mmc. I will be disappointed if I do get my af... but atleast I'll know my bodies working again. Fx for everyone that they get bfp's and sticky beans!

@RedRobin7 lines look good, congratulations! Fx that its a sticky healthy buba!

@hayleyfx ah great news, so pleased its going well.

Af due tomorrow, iv had some cramping today, not quite af cramps but my uterus feels tender.
Everything is pissing me off, mainly DH he just pisses me off by existing at the moment. He also has no sodding idea about anything!
Just don't feel he gets it sometimes!!

Uhh sorry for the rant!

Hugs to others that need them, good luck to those getting their heads round opks and heading into FW!!

Thank you all so much. Still very nervous but starting to feel more real. I’m always here reading the thread but have stepped back a bit, sending good luck to everyone!

@Boboelephant I don't know if I ever wrote a response to your af news (😡) - so sorry if not, work is hectic and I haven't been keeping up so well but I'm just so sorry she turned up, it's totally crap and I hope you're starting to bounce back a little. This will happen for you! Xxx

Morning everyone - I've been up since 4am gearing up to poas...

@murderino congratulations!!!

@hayleyfx that's great news, hope you feel you can get excited soon

@murderino eeeek that's amazing congratulations! Looks like there might be another flurry of BFPs this month!

I have also had POAS success today... Finally a solid smiley this morning, it's also the first month of OPKs and bbt at the same time and I'm pleased to see I think I have an ovulation dip in my temps, great as I find using OPKs a bit stressful.

@boboelephant how are you doing him? Not seen you that much since your AF. Thinking of you

@Murderino congratulations! Brilliant news to wake up to!

Thanks @strawberrye @Newbie21 feel so happy but terrified. Think I'm going to be nervous for a long time.

Hope everyone else is feeling positive xxx

@Murderino congratulations, such good news! Hope all goes well. Xx

@YellowDaffodils86 thank you!

Aww congrats @Murderino great news! Xxx

@murderino congratulations fab mid week news fx for a sticky bean and a happy and healthy pregnancy x

Ok-lovelies stop me going nuts please.

9dpo...this morning I had the tiniest bit of brown on wiping...its first proper cycle since my MMC...I'm CD23. Before I fell pregnant in Jan I had cycles of 24 days, 28 days and 21 days...

So I'm trying to convince myself the tiny brown is implantation, but it could also be AF...

The big question is how soon to test? I have three apps-one is saying this sat-the other two a week today. I feel like I don't want to test too early, but I'm desperate to know.

This was a whole lot easier when the attitude was what will be will be.

@Laney79 hmmm difficult one, could be either implantation bleeding or beginning of AF couldn't it? I've taken to a mantra of trying to put off testing for as long as possible, that way you don't have the heartache of early BFNs or tests which are difficult to interpret, and you're less likely to detect CPs if you wait until AF is due. Also gives your body some time to declare itself. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you were looking for...

@Laney79 I had implantation bleeding and cramps at cd23 - pretty much light brown cm. Bfp today. I refused to test until after af was late though - mostly due to nerves and protecting myself x

@Blondcat thank you - I'm positive mantra central now! X

@Murderino massive congrats babe. And not even a 1-2 weeks!!!! Wowzer!!

@strawberrye I'm so pleased for your peak today. And hopefully your chart lines up perfectly along side it. It's always a relief when everything goes back to "normal".

@Laney79 if it's implantation you can test a couple days after. So I'd say wait until Saturday to be safe. Your hog starts to double once it's implanted so within 48 or so you should have a second line. Good luck. Plus you'll be 12dpo by Saturday.
