I'm CD1 of cycle 2 TTC #1 so thought I'd start a new thread for anybody in the same situation who didn't get their April BFP.

I had a MMC found on a scan at 9.5weeks after seeing HB at 7 weeks 🙁 I had SMM on the 19th March but no luck in my first month and AF got me today. Normal cycles are 28days so I hope to be testing around the 20th May. This month I will be tracking ovulation using CB connected and trying out Preseed for the first time hoping this helps towards my 🌈 but tonight I'll just be having a G&T 💁🏾‍♀️

Wow @VP91 that’s an amazing bright rainbow! 😃🌈 Thanks for sharing! I do love me a rainbow ❤️

Hi @HE88 kinda nice being a bit busier at work with something different to think about. I'm CD12 and also using CB and femometer opks, I find the femometer app can be a bit random with the difference between low and high readings when it's quite a faint line, even when I take multiple pics of the same strip it will give different answers. Because the opks don't track oestrogen they will only get strong a couple days around your peak when you have the lh surge rest of the time it will just be negative. xx

Love that pic @VP91x 🌈 ❤️

Hi @SmileyT yeah it has been a welcome distraction never thought I would say that about work ha ha.

Aw wow @VP91x that's an amazing rainbow 😀🌈. Xx

So strange .. I'm CD6 ... my period stopped on like CD3 was quite light that last day

Last night we DTD and I did a HIIT work out this afternoon. Straight after the workout I had like a lot of CM and then realised it was like bright red blood but also CM... not like AF blood at all ... almost like blood you see when you've been cut .

Who knows what's going on with my body 😓 I guess DTD or exercise brought it on but that's not normal for me to stop bleeding for nearly 3 days then get that ... I think its stopped now ... 🤷‍♀️😓🤔 xx

Renna · 30/04/2020 18:57

Love the rainbow pic 🌈

Renna · 30/04/2020 19:12

2nd cycle since MMC and surgery so was hoping I'd be back to normal and what used to happen before MC , as that's not normal for me😓🙄

SmileyT · 30/04/2020 19:44

Ahh sorry everything is a bit of an unknown quantity at the moment, but just remember that our bodies have been through a lot and much like our heads they are still working themselves out after an unexpected trauma. Plus sides are that you are back to ovulating and normal cycle lengths it might just take a couple months until it's completely back to normal xx

Hi All, I hope you don’t mind me jumping on. I found out on the 20th January I was pregnant and carried until I was 9 weeks. Unfortunately at a scan they found the baby had stopped growing at 5 weeks & 6 days. I had surgical management and I’m now in my second cycle TTC since. I’m either 8 or 9 DPO with AF due on the 7th May. I took a test today (couldn’t help it) and it had the faintest line. I don’t know if this is an evaporation line or what! Hopefully this is my chance of my rainbow baby! Spreading baby dust to you all! 🌈

Hi all 👋🏻

Can I join? Currently on cycle 2 after a MMC in March! Went found our 8 week scan but wee thing had passed away. Went for an MVA 2 weeks later. Hoping for better luck this time round!

Renna · 30/04/2020 20:14

Thanks hun @SmileyT trying not to think about it too much , just some leftover AF .. guess 2 /3 days of very light AF wasnt finished.. x
So ends up putting me off DTD and exercise..
Great aye ! 🙄 xx things Iove and need to do ... 😂🙄 x x

VP91x · 30/04/2020 21:29

Welcome @chanceofarainbow and @33Carr sorry that you both find yourselves here and have suffered a loss.

@chanceofarainbow that is great news that there was a faint line, when are you planning to test again?

@33Carr are you tracking at all?

@Renna definitely probably some leftover AF don't get too down about it! Xx

Renna · 30/04/2020 21:31

@Vp91x thanks babe xx it looks like its stopped so wasnt much just strange 🙄🤷‍♀️ hope you're okay xx

VP91x · 30/04/2020 21:39

@Renna yeah have been feeling okay today! My AF has been lighter than normal too, must be something in the water haha.

Looking forward to it being over so can start DTD and trying again tbh! Xx

chanceofarainbow · 30/04/2020 21:43

@VP91x

I’m hoping to test again Saturday but really I should be patient until AF is due which is Thursday. It could be evaporations lines but I’m crossing everything 🤞🌈

VP91x · 30/04/2020 21:46

@chanceofarainbow everything crossed for you too!!! Xx

SmileyT · 30/04/2020 22:05

@Renna yeah give it a few days and I'm sure it'll all be cleared up and you'll be rearing to go on both fronts getting ready for your fertile week 😘😘

@chanceofarainbow sorry for your loss and if you saw a line I'm sure it'll be even stronger on Saturday, I think evap lines tend to be clear indentation so if it had any colour it's good news 🤞

@33Carr sorry you find yourself here, there are a few of us that experienced our MCs in March so we all appreciate how you must be feeling. Hoping it's a lucky month for loads of us to get out rainbows x

@chanceofarainbow fingers crossed for you

Dipsy77 · 01/05/2020 07:20

Feeling really crappy today first time since MMC that I have got a really strong peak result and my DP is laid up in bed with a bad back in agony and can't move there is no chance of anything happening I'm so disappointed xx

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:41

@VP91x aw what a lovely rainbow! Thank you for sharing xxx

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:45

@chanceofarainbow hello and welcome to the thread. Sorry for your loss. I also mc at nine weeks and measured 5 weeks. It’s tough! Good news about your second line! My fingers are crossed for you and I hope it’s a bfp sticky bean. Let us know how you get on xxx

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:46

@33Carr hi same here cycle 2 after MMC in March. Sorry for your loss and good luck. Are you doing anything to keep track of things??

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:48

@Renna sounds like left over af but if you had a short light period more af could maybe signal a thicker lining and better for implantation?? So maybe it’s a good sign although I know it’s unusual to start and stop and it doesn’t take a while for hormones to settle. Hope you are feeling better now x

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:49

@Dipsy77 aw that’s a shame! Have you done it recently? There may still be some swimmers in there x

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:50

@SmileyT ooh cd 13 today for you. What are your cb smileys doing? X
