TTC after miscarriage - April 2020 part 2

[Ejb86]

I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

@VP91x
Sorry tmi this early in the morning but the first pic is today at 4dpo the second picture was the last time i had it at 3dpo (approx) as i was only temping really and I was on holiday and got a positive test at 9dpo when i got home xx

@Hayleylou89 oh yeah they are exactly the same!

Are you going to test in a couple of days? Xx

@Hayleylou89 ah I was going to say I read it can’t happen before 5 days but clearly not for you! That picture so looks like ib. Exciting!

Girls! Af has come this morning! So that means I had a 31 day cycle post Mc, at least I’m assuming it’s her. Def heavier than that other bleeding. Perhaps I didn’t ovulate this cycle immediately after mc as the opks suggest. Is that common does anyone know?
A 31 day cycle- I’ll take that right now xx

@VP91x Ill wait until atleast friday and maybe use a cheapy then unless i start feeling any other symptoms in the meantime, I remember last time everyone in the thread saying it couldnt be implantation because it was far too early and i thought the same but i was pg and its happening again 🙈 it might not be implantation as such maybe something else but it definitely lead to pregnancy last time so fingers crossed its a good sign 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Hayleylou89 last time I had some brown spotting/ discharge before I was due AF maybe 10-12 dpo, I don't know if it was IB bleeding but maybe it was. It was very light and because I was due on in the next few days I assumed it was just AF a tad early, but then it just disappeared.

@dinosaur17 ahh I'm gutted that you think AF is on her way for you, although you're definitely not out until she arrives. I'm only 8dpo and I've been doing the LH tests everyday and there has only been 1 line since seeing my peak so hopefully that means that I did ovulate and I caught it. AF is due 22nd so if she doesn't arrive I'll test on the 30th I think, but not holding out much hope this month as I've had no symptoms.

@Mommybear05 Hope ur ok u seem really positive even tho AF has arrived, iv heard it is common but u may have just missed ur peak too its easily done, hopefully ur cycle is reset and ready to go now though! X x x

@Mommybear05 I'm glad that you have AF even though it would have been much better to get a BFP but this gives you a reset and starting point which is also positive!

@Hayleylou89 this is definitely a good sign! Have everything crossed for you. How sensitive are the cheapies? Xx

@SmileyT yeah thats it u only see it once when wiping and then when u wipe again it's disappeared its strange isnt it, but only time will tell 🙏 xx it could be anything as iv just got over a uti, but i never really get that with a UTI will just have to wait it out 🙏 im cd 29 of a usual 35-38 day cycle (this month natural cycles is predicting a 37 day cycle) so 8 days to go until AF is due x

@Hayleylou89 ahh I'm excited for Friday now 🤞

@Mommybear05 I read that it wasn't uncommon to not ovulate first month after MC, but if you don't ovulate you won't have a period as progesterone isn't released but you can have breakthrough bleeding which will be a lighter version of a period (according to google). As you went so long without AF I'd say it's a good sign that you have your cycle back and you can use that as a starting point if you do decide to actively TTC again, but maybe you have the right idea with taking some pressure off without tracking or anything xx

@Hayleylou89 I didn't have IB last time so not much of an expert but this sounds promising 😁🤞 looks like IB and you had it at a similar time last time .. very exciting 🌈😁🤞 xx

@VP91x i do hope its a good sign.
i think they are the 10miu ones but if not i do have 4 frer on order from amazon (they were only £13 for 4 ....so can use one of them if i feel like x x

@Renna I know i did say i would be more optimistic if i got this again but then im thinking is it because of the UTI iv had recently, why cant we be positive about ourselves...if one of u were saying this id be so excited for you. Ill do a cheapy in a few days, im in work today on campus helping out so today should go quick atleast :) how r u feeling today xx

@Hayleylou89 damn didn't see they done x4 pack I ordered the x2 pack. Eep fingers crossed!!

I found out I was pregnant with my daughter on 27/04/17 so I'm hoping the universe wants to have a lovely coincidence for me this time around too. X

@VP91x @Hayleylou89 @SmileyT thank you. Yes positive all the same as I’ve felt the frustration of 13 months with no periods when wanting to ttc so I really will take a cycle at this point. I felt very upset with a bfn but also no period but clearly
Something is happening in my body. Hurrah! I’m in the game at least :) also that might explain why I was all teary the last couple of days. I always have mood swings before af. Although I would have loved a 2020 December baby it’s not meant. Hubby has been told he’s furloughed until May so we have lots of time to dtd. I will just dtd regularly this month, were usually quite active anyway, and then wait and see. I think if nothing happens and I Continue to get my cycle for a couple of months I could perhaps start tracking.

Hayley regarding pregnancy tests- I wouldn’t recommend Morrison’s own. I broke one apart after your comment about you taking tests apart. It’s just a tiny cheapie strip inside a plastic case. I wondered why the test window was so smal! They are 25 miu and if you go on amazon you can get a whole bag full for £7! X

@Hayleylou89 you should feel excited 😁 I'm excited for you xx it's like an early little positive sign for you xx I've had loadsss of UTIs , and I have never had a pinky stain like that before. I'm okay 😁.. still have some odd crampy pains here and there on left side of back. 3dpo now. I woke up in the middle of the night as I had a really vivid nightmare that my mum died and felt so real when I woke up I was sobbing. Like coildnt stop myself crying. So weird I'm not worried about her in any way or anything but maybe just hearing about all this sad stuff going on at the mo must be in back of my mind ! And once I went back to sleep I also had a vivid dream about my gums coming away in my mouth !! So odd ! Dont think I had any cheese yday 🤣 I'm kinda glad to be back to working now after 4 days off, think I'd struggle In this lockdown with nothing to do xx keep us posted 😘 hope your day goes quick! Stay safe ! Xx

@Mommybear05 definitely see it as a positive, it will be good to have a more relaxed approach to it as well. You will probably feel a ton better for it. POAS becomes so addictive 😂

So annoying about that Morrisons test. They should just keep it as a little strip and not charge so much when you can get them so much cheaper xx

Hi Ladies, took a break from the thread to try and enjoy the Easter weekend, anyway decided to take a test yesterday evening, no idea why as not sure if I've even ovulated!
Anyway initially no second line but looked again after 15-20 mins and there was a faint pink line. Did another 2 this morning with fmu and the same has happened!! So frustrating.

Does anyone have any experience with evap lines on ic? Trying to attach a pic but not working xx

@Hayleylou89 Oh they look really similar don’t they! Mine is usually a bit streaky if that makes sense? Last time I think I only noticed it once or twice. Keeping everything crossed for you.

I have had something similar this morning but put it down to AF turning up at some point today or tomorrow?

@SmileyT Fingers crossed for you for this month!! I started to get some weird symptoms about 3/4dpo and they all tailed off. Had the usual “cold” feeling I get down below Before AF, last night but woke up to nothing? Who knows? Just getting some light spotting at the min, but I think 13dpo might be too late for IB. Which tests did you go for? Did you try the CB? Xx

Hi ladies
Just found thread and would like to join. I had a natural mc at 7 weeks 19th March and now hoping to ttc again. Still waiting for ovulation..

Hi all,
Any advice would be really appreciated. So I’m on cycle 2 so didn’t have any real hopes for this time round. But my period is 3 days late and it is never late. My periods always arrive within 30 days exactly.

I haven’t taken a test but I’m getting usual period cramps for the last 10 days which is normal for me before my period. But just never this late for me. Any advice on what this could be or what I should do?

@positivetime hello. If this is unusual for you and it is past your period due date then maybe you should take a pregnancy test?

@faithandcake hello and sorry you find yourself here. That sucks you had 7 wk mc on 19th March. I had 9 wk mc on 14th March so similar. Af got me today though. Were you using opks? Sorry for
Your loss

@mommybear05 sorry to hear AF arrived today but hopefully it's a good sign your body is regulating itself and getting ready for next month. Yeah I've been using OPKs but haven't had a peak yet. I have pcos and i conceived my daughter with Clomid after a long journey. Last months loss feels extra sucky due to it being natural and a bit of a surprise!

@Mommybear05
I think I’m nervous to test Incase it would be too soon? I keep reading different things about waiting two weeks. I’m also worried that if this is just stress of it all causing a delay then I’ve delayed ovulation. I didn’t realise what a minefield this all was!

@positivetime I agree you should definitely do a test! X
