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!

Hi ladies, hope you’ve all had a lovely Easter! Finally got my Blood results back, they are showing 7mlu so I need to go back today and have more bloods done, hopefully it will be more clear this time as to what’s going on 😩 no symptoms though other than my boobs feeling really full.

Hi @francis05 hope you had a nice Easter break. I'm no expert at all but I thought that once the time frame for the test was over the results were not valid (there is a lot online about evap lines but not sure if they are anecdotal rather than factual). If I remember rightly you had your MC the week after mine so will be about 3weeks into cycle so I think if you'd caught it may be too early to pick up on HPT so maybe wait until 28days post MC to do another test and see what that says. Sorry that probably isn't helpful at all. Fingers crossed for you xx

@dinosaur17 it's so hard when you start trying because literally every symptom is the same as pms 😩 apparently medically you can't have any symptoms until implantation as your body isn't doing anything different but so many women seem to know straight after conception. I just don't think I know my body well enough to be able to tell. I used the cheap opks and then randomly tried my CB when it arrived and it was a static smiley which seemed to match so will do that next month.

@faithandcake sorry you find yourself here, I had a MMC found at a scan where I should've been 9.5 weeks and had surgery on the 19th March so we're in the same boat. How are you tracking for ovulation? I've been using the cheap opks and CB and they indicated I ovulated on the 6th April but who knows 🤦🏾‍♀️

@Positivetime sorry you are going through this, I guess the only way to know for sure is to take a HPT but totally understand that it's completely nerve wrecking. Did your first AF come exactly 30days after MC? Do you track ovulation? I've decided I'll wait until 1 week late to test as everything I've read has said that 1st 3 cycles can be unusual and don't think I'm mentally prepared to see a BFN ☹️

@Mommybear05 oh no i dnt have morrisons tests iv got cheapies, cb and frer on the way so between them all ill be testing haha .. who took the morrisons one apart was it you, did u have a false positive? X x

@Positivetime If it’s abnormal for you I’d definitely test X

@SmileyT I do like the CB ones more but I go through them like there’s no tomorrow! It’s so weird isn’t it, I agree I don’t know how anyone’s body would know and if you’re having symptoms then surely it’s enough to show up on a test?
I’m just going to wait and see if AF shows her face, I’m thinking more and more that my test yesterday was a random evap xx

@smileyt sorry for your loss too. Good sign that you've had a positive ovulation test. I've been using the cheap strips my cycles are irregular anyway so if be spending a fortune on the cb ones but they are so much easier to read! Mine show high readings then drop again but haven't had a peak but I guess there's always a possibility I missed it. TTC is such a minefield.
Still hoping one day to be that person that gets pregnant just by looking at their OH

@Mommybear05 I had a 31day cycle (I’m normally 27-29days) after my MC and I had finished bleeding from the MC on March 1st. I had a fibal scan March 12 and told the nurse I felt like my body was ovulating (although couldn’t track using cheapy LH sticks, or my BBT as the hcg levels were still present in my body). She said I wasn’t as my uterus lining was so thin, that it was more like you’d find just as you’d finished your period - and when I did get AF on March 30th - it was super short, only 2 days which is unheard of for me! I reckon I possibly did ovulate (got cramping etc) but I think looking back, my lining would have been too thin for implantation! My current cycle seems to be back on track - so fingers crossed your body has reset and is getting back on track too :) 🤞🏻

@SmileyT - I’m 5dpo - back to work next week albeit on a lot less days, but at least TWW will pass a bit quicker! You BBT still looks good, it takes a couple of cycles to get into the routine, I have only just got minimal variation and have been using it since Sept last year lol!!

@Renna - hopefully the new build goes quickly once lockdown is lifted!! They really rushed the last few bits on ours to get us in and the snag list has been long, and they can’t do much about it yet (luckily I emailed them so have dates just in case anyone says it happened after we moved in!!)

I’m going to write a book at call it “The woman who got 483847 Evaps and sent herself over the edge”

@dinosaur17 looks slightly pinky to me. Fingers crossed for you

@SmileyT yes exactly 3 weeks today since surgery so would be early to get a bfp, although did get my bfp in Jan @ 12dpo when I was 3+4. I think if I did ovulate it was between 31/03-02/04 judging by EWCM so am coming up to the end ot the TWW if ovulation happend.
Sounds like I'm trying to talk myself into it doesn't it! I do have a cb digital but don't want to waste that yet.

@dinosaur17 my tests are similar, do you know that this is defo an evap? Trying but failing to upload a picture x

Random question for you all... Is anyone here a hay fever sufferer?? Mine is so bad just now, but I’ve stopped taking the tablets this week because they can dry up CM and that’s not helpful just now 😂 I’m taking a nasal spray instead, but as yet I have zero sign of any EWCM and I normally would by now... I’m getting flashing smilies on my Clear Blues, so I’m wondering if the nasal spray is stopping the EWCM from appearing?! Has anyone had this at all?

@dinosaur17

How long did it take for the line to show? Could u not get and frer? Xx

@TerribleImagination is the spray a decongestant? I'm not a hf sufferer but I know they can affect milk production as the whole point of then is that they dry everything up, so I can imagine it does the same to CM?

@faithandcake Do you think? My one yesterday I thought had a bit of a tinge of colour but my eyesight is horrendous so never trust what I’m seeing!

@francis05 Are they? Do you have a pic stored on Dropbox or anything? You might be able to upload later?

@Hayleylou89 Yes got one and dipped that as well but I’m sure it’s BFN, left my cheapie for 5 mins xx

@dinosaur15 I would rule out a positive yet. I've never had a false positive or on these cheapies but clearblue seem to be dreadful for it.
Maybe try again tomorrow with FMU?

@faithandcake I’ve got a few cheapies left so will def check again in the morning if AF hasn’t arrived. I think I’ve lost hope a bit, because my Frer was negative and they’re supposed the be the go to arent they? Xx

@TerribleImagination have you tried sterimar? It’s a salt spray - safe for pregnant and breastfeeding ladies - it’s salt water, but the best decongestant I have ever used (Long term sinusitis sufferer, and OH is a bad hayfever sufferer too) x

@dinosaur17 post a pic of ur frer im good with squinters :) x x

@dinosaur17 my phone isn't letting me upload a picture, will keep trying! Just dipped an ic from the same pack in water just to check and that has no line. Can't stop staring at these tests!
I need to try and wait 48 hours before testing again I think, ordered some frer which are coming on Thurs or fri.

Did your lines comekup within the time frame? X

Ladies I'm really struggling today, my mmc was 8 weeks ago, and I just keep thinking about how much baby would have grown in those 8 weeks. My sister in law has also had her 12 week scan today and I can't even bring myself to look at the pictures and say nice things also my other sister in law is pregnant too but she had her 12 week scan a couple of weeks ago. Inside I just feel anger and numbness 😢 and feel really selfish for feeling like this, is this normal? X

@Hayleylou89 no false positive- just curious I suppose. Those first response ones are supposed to be the best though. Exciting for you xx

@HE88 aw sending you such big hugs xxxxxx of course all of these feelings are perfectly Natural. You will struggle to look at these things in other people. I hope they are being sensitive to your feelings. The sun is out today. Could you find the time to perhaps go for a walk? I’m sure these feelings will feel less intense over time. We will have good days and bad days. I’m so confident that you too will have your 12 week scan and rainbow baby 🌈🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️ Xxxxxxx

@Mommybear05 thank you for your lovely words. I've been out a walk already might go for another one later on. Just sitting having a Latte and going to watch rubbish on Netflix ha ha. X

@Ejb86 It’s the Beconase one, I think it’s anti-inflammatory... I think it must be affecting my CM cos I would definitely have had some by now! Gonna have to stop it and live with the hay fever 😫 Luckily I’ve still got some pre-seed though, so at least I can use that.

@Bellabubble Thanks so much for the tip! I’ll have a look for that now!

@Hayleylou89 My frer from today xx

@francis05 Came up within 5 mins, oh hope it lets you upload a pic! Have you posted before? Sometimes it takes a while to add the function.

I don’t know what to believe anymore haha!

@Hayleylou89 My other cheapie from yesterday
