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.

@DaisyMay25 cd6 here so not very exciting! I don't usually ovulate until about cd18 so still a fair bit of waiting for fw to start.

@boboelephant we're cycle twins again. Cd7 here & normally ovulate cd16/17. I'm enjoying the lull before the fw and tww craziness kicks in :)

Ah @sweetpea0318 hello cycle twin!! I'm so glad someone is the same time as me. 😀 I am not really sure when I'll ovulate as it's been between 16 and 22 the last few months but hopefully sooner than later. Still a bit more chill until the craziness begins!

So I think AF has arrived today. Which means my cycle was only 26 days when it is usually 28 but then this is my first proper cycle since my MMC and D&C and I know it can affect the cycle. I say "I think" because I only see very light pink/brown when I wipe (sorry TMI) but it must be the beginning of AF. I didn't monitor when I ovulated but when I went for an ultrasound 10 days ago it showed a Corpus Luteum in my right ovary so I must have ovulated at least 11 days ago so guess this is about the right time for AF. Plus OH and I didn't DTD that much this month so chances were always slim. Going to focus on my holiday and maybe a holiday baby is on the cards fx.

@DaisyMay25 I think I'm out this month, slight pink tinge this morning and now a bit of blood when going to the loo! Also bad tummy all day which Is normally a sign AF is coming!
I worked out last time I fell pregnant we DTD in CD9,12 &16. Although doing the digital ovulation tests this month I appeared to have ovulated about CD 13/14 and we DTD many times up to CD14, we should have probably continued to DTD until after CD16 but OH was tired and understandably so!
Fx for you x

Hi ladies just found this. I've posted on her under multiple names (I change a lot)

I have a DS 20 months.
Fell pregnant in March but went on to have a chemical pregnancy.
Didn't track May or June but starting after his period.
Desperate for no2

I hope you're all ok x

@sweetpea0318 and @Boboelephant I'm also cd7 first time I'm in line with another lady from this group

So its 4 weeks since my mmc. But smm was on 25th so 4 weeks on Monday. Keep thinking no sign of af... maybe I'm pregnant? Silly really...I tested today but was bfn. But could be too early to test. Who knows what my cycle is up to.

Welcome @achanger this is a great supportive group.

@Daisymay25 I'm the same as you as I think my af is due Monday. Fx for a bfp for you! I may wait and test Monday if no af still.

POAS Friday
DPO10 here
Not even a sniff of a line on FRER this morning
And my temps really don't look good
Thinking these cramps are just signalling AF
😐

@your not out yet hun not till AF shows up

Aw sorry @zarala BFN are so disappointing aren't they. 10DPO is still fairly early though, I agree that you're not out until the fat (red) lady sings! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@achanger welcome and sorry for your loss

No POAS for me this morning as I'm only 1 or 2DPO, waiting for my three increased temps to confirm ovulation.

I'm temping for the first time this month but its not going well my temps are all over the place. Quite large differences every morning. I'm taking it same time to the minute every day but not seeing any kind of pattern at all

@Newbie21 if you did manage to catch straight away it could be implantation bleeding. If not and it is af, you should count day 1 as the first day of proper bleeding not spotting. Wait and see if it gets heavier!
@GPS76 sorry it looks like af. Fx for next month.
@achanger welcome. Or welcome back if you're returning! Hope it happens soon.
@Lilimum4 hello cycle triplet!!!
@Pancakes7 fx for a miracle for you. However if you haven't caught this month it might still take a little longer. My first af came 32 days after my smm. Do you know when you ovulated?
@zarala sorry for bfn hun. They really are the worst. I know you've been told to test but 10dpo really is still very early so you're not out yet. Want us to look at your chart?

@strawberrye woohoo for tww! Still seems a long way off for me! Hope it goes quickly for you.
@Lilimum4 temps pre ovulation can be a bit all over the place. Mine always are with quite a rocky pattern. After ovulation and when progesterone kicks in is when you should be able to see more of a clear pattern.

Thanks @strawberrye And @Lilimum4

@Boboelephant thanks hun
I know I wasn't really expecting anything today but was secretly hoping for at least a squinter! (Ah!) but yeah I will probably test again tomorrow but then wait until Monday when AF due

Here's my chart tho- what do you guys think ?

@zarala you are braver than me! I'm 11dpo cd25 and I'm not brave enough to test yet. No AF yet although have had a few twinges, but trying to convince myself it's bean related rather than witch related! Like others have said though it's still early-I'm keeping everything crossed for your next poas.

I'm going to try and hold out till weds...period tracker says AF due tomorrow, FF and ovia says Tuesday -so if nowt by weds there should be a definate line...

This is so hard!

@zarala I think your chart still looks good. Hard to tell though!! It will depend alot on what tomorrow's temp does. 2dpo could be fallback rise, 8dpo could be implantation and you do have a few inconsistent temps. Still way up above coverline though! 🤞
@Laney79 ooh exciting! Good will power!! 🤞

@Laney79 I know! I have never tested this early - I've always been someone who waits until AF is late- but I'm on a medical protocol to treat aggressive natural killer cells (apparently that has been the cause of my 3 MCs) and I need to test at 10dpo; if I am not pregnant I have to stop taking the steroids... (I know it's all very controversial but I'm putting my full trust in Dr Shehata )
So today is actually my last day on roids unless I test positive tomorrow 😬

@Boboelephant yeah I have no idea as it's my first time temping - but from other chat I've compared to my temps don't seem high enough above cover line- but anyway time will tell!
It's a really interesting thing to see tho! So much our bodies do without us even knowing! It's amazing

@zarala sorry for bfn but like others said still early days and not out until af shows.

@laney79 goodluck.

Af has shown up for me today on cd25 which is around normal for me usually 25/26 day cycles.

Goodluck anyone in tww and enjoy those in fw.

Thanks @Blondcat and sorry AF showed 🙄
On to the next one! 🤞🏽

Happy Friday lovely ladies ❤️
I'm slowly getting there I think. It's a bit rocky but I've taken on the challenge of painting our wooden window frames! It's a mammoth 🐘 of a task which will keep me occupied for several weeks!
Thinking of you all x

Thanks ladies. It's such an emotional time isn't it. I was so upset when AF arrived, I build myself up so much. I promised I wouldn't test until I was late but ended up doing four bloody tests

@zarala can I ask which app you use please to track? I've been using Ovia which seems ok.

@Lilimum4 Which thermometer are you using? I've not temped before. Will DS's Braun one do?

@achanger hi I got a 'baby mad' bbt digi one from eBay only cost 4.50 seams to be good
