Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 2

[Annny27]

Hi ladies- setting up another thread so we can keep in touch :)

Thanks @MilsCookie and @Sparkl, sorry to be Debbie Downer, I'm praying this is the month for us all! Have decided not to do opks as the 3 times I've been preggo is when I've been more lax about it so will see...also back on the fertility tea which always works for me

@melds22 don't worry at all. I think after what we've all been through we're entitled to be Debbie Downers some times!! Ooo what fertility tea do you drink?

@SunnySideUp2020 and @Sparkl eeeek so you're both only a few days away from testing. Keeping everything really crossed that this month is both of your months and you get your much wanted and deserved BFPs very soon!! xxx

Yup 8 dpo...
@Sparkl Poas plan is earliest Monday... ideally Wednesday 😄
What about you?
I have 0 symptoms 😟😟😟

Thanks @milscookie hope it’s our month too 🤞🏽 🌈

Just made the mistake of going on my old due in June thread and everyone's talking about only a month left and what they are packing in their hospital bags 😪😪😪😪🙈

@Sparkl @SunnySideUp2020 just reading about your progesterone levels. Mine was tested with all my other bloods a couple of weeks ago and it was only 2nmol/L. This is when I thought I was 5 weeks pregnant but my HCG was only 33.
So goodness knows what that means! Am definitely going to request day 21 bloods when I get back to a normal cycle! Have either of you read around the use of progesterone pessaries?
Also it says on my results that anything about 16nmol on day 21 indicates that ovulation is likely so those levels sound good!
This is all new to me though so don’t really know what I’m talking about 🙈

Oh @Annny27 🙁🙁 I would have been due in June as well, crazy how quickly it’s coming round. I know how you feel xxx

@ChampooPapi congratulations that’s amazing news and I’m so relieved for you. Hope double trouble start behaving and stop worrying their lovely Mummy for the rest of your pregnancy.

@Annny27 I keep torturing myself and checking back on a thread I was on and have just seen that one of the ladies is currently in hospital being induced. I don’t know why we do it to ourselves. Guess I can’t just quite let go of what should of been.

So AF turned up last weekend for me was absolutely gutted as that means no 2020 baby for me. But new cycle and just hope that month 6 is my month!

Really hope to see some wonderful BFPs over the next few weeks. xx

Thx @MilsCookie, it's one my DH got on Amazon and both times I drank it I was pregnant within a month-crazy coincidence! Oh no @Annny27 and @ELM7 that must be awful. Just think how exciting it will be when you have your babies, u will forget all about this stressful time.
I'm thinking that about my friend that our babies would have been born within a week of each other and I would have still been 37 (my birthdays in December) etc... my DH says to stop catastrophising and looking to the past but it's hard not to. I hate the whole TTC process!

Welcome @Melds22 I think I missed your post in all the excitement! Sorry you find yourself with us xx

@scrumdiddly123 the progesterone is definitely worth asking about. I’ve read about pessaries but not spoken to gp yet. Vaguely thought about a cream but would rather wait for gp to prescribe something and I think I need day3 tests first.

@SunnySideUp2020 I think I’m starting to feel sore boobs which means AF on the way for me. I have been constantly checking them but hoping to feel nothing. I do think no symptoms can be a good thing! I’m the same with testing. If I still had high temps on Monday it will be very hard not to. Will do my best to wait until weds though.

@MilsCookie thank you! I am hoping the same for you

@Annny27 I was due in June too. Can’t believe people are packing bags, that really brings it home. Just hope we get our bfps before June 🤞🌈

@Sparkl thank, my temp has pretty much stayed the same all LP, no rise like the cycle I conceived, but also no drop yet suggesting AF coming but seems to drop morning of AF for me anyways.

@SunnySideUp2020 & @MilsCookie thanks for the positive vibes ladies💕

@Annny27 this is so hard... Sorry it brought you down x
It will be your turn too lovely, we will all be packing our bag one day 💐

@scrumdiddly123 2nmol does sound very low to sustain pregnancy. Apparently should be 25 at least?
Weird they haven’t mentioned anything to you.
I would definitely push for an explanation and pessaries if necessary.

@Sparkl boob symptom is good! I poke mine multiple times a day hoping for a little bit of tenderness as the two times i was pregnant this was one of the first signs...
This month though they re on the way down now :/

@Leok83 any sign of AF? Have you tested again?

I almost tested when i woke up. Felt the terrible urge so collected fmu in cup but then didn’t go to the room to get test (because dp will say i am being ridiculous but also i didn’t want to ruin my morning with bfn at 9 dpo)
So i threw it away.

Omg i sound like an addict 😅

@SunnySideUp2020 🤣🤣that addiction is real!! Hopefully your restraint will pay off and you’ll get a nice strong BFP when you do test!!
I didn’t bother retesting today cause my temp had dropped slightly so I imagine I’ll get AF today or tomorrow. If it’s not here tomorrow I’ll retest but I’m not hopeful at all.

Morning everyone. I’m feeling happy today as my tests were really faint this morning! 🥳 feel like I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Anyway I just thought I’d post as I’ve taken two tests this morning both with FMU and both with very different lines.
The onestep is meant to be more sensitive than the acutest (pink one) but has a much fainter line (I don’t even know if the camera has picked it up). I’ve always used the onestep cheapies from Amazon but this has made me think maybe next time I won’t bother.
Just thought I’d share my observation! Hope everyone has a great day 😊

@Leok83 sorry to hear about temp drop... probably AF on the way?
:(

@scrumdiddly glad to see it’s getting fainter (although not yet squinter stage on the pink dye) ! So weird that we are happy about tests getting fainter ! I really hope you can soon move on from this x

Also thanks for highlighting the one step super early not actually being that good because this is what i use for my poas addiction!

Pleased to hear things are finally moving in the right direction for you @scrumdiddly123!

Thanks @Whiffle and @SunnySideUp2020, it certainly is very weird wanting to see a BFN so much! With this and my MMC being in February, I haven’t had a proper cycle since November! Can’t wait to get back to normal.

@scrumdiddly123 yay this is such good news! I remember feeling this after my mmc... it took about 3 weeks to get a true BFN and I remember how disappointed I was each time I still saw a positive line. Absolute madness because now I would give anything for a positive!! But this must be reassuring for you and you can now begin to move on.

@Annny27 why do we do this to ourselves? I sometimes look at that June thread as well... why do I torment myself?! It will be our turn soon I am sure... hugs xxx

@Leok83 ahhhh I'm sorry. You're not out yet though!! Fingers crossed xx

@SunnySideUp2020 haha that's so funny - you have amazing restraint to have peed into a cup and then to throw it away!! well done!! Try and hold out as much as you can - till Monday at least! My DP also thinks I'm mental when I want to test before AF is due and he gets so annoyed with me haha. xx

@Whiffle77 how are things going lovely? xx

@scrumdiddly123 that’s a great relief to see it starting to go back to normal and also interesting about the tests.

So I decided this afternoon to do another test before I decided to hit up a bottle of wine this eve..used the IC first and looked over whilst having lunch and nearly fell off my seat cause could see a faint line..pulled out the last FRER and it’s even more positive looking ..I can’t believe my eyes..yesterday was stark white..not even the hint of an evap!!! Can I believe my eyes today??? Both within 10 mins of testing too.

Wow @Leok83 they are defo positive! Congratulations! How many dpo are you? X

@scrumdiddly23 Thank you..I’m 12 DPO. I’m literally in shock!!! Still staring at the test😄😄
My DH isn’t finished work till 9pm at the earliest and I’m just bursting to tell him..never thought that through when I tested! Doesn’t feel real at all!

Oh wow @leok83 that's amazing, how exciting!! Congratulations! How do you feel?

@Whiffle77 I feel nervously excited and still in serious disbelief! I’m too scared to even look at when the due date would be!

Yes I completely understand that! It's a very strange feeling overall.
