Will keep tagging if anyone is initally not on this. Xx

Hi, to anyone else who would like to join. 👋👋
I am on Cycle 2 TTC and on CD15 following SMEP plan this month, tracking BBT and using OPKs xx

@Meomeomeo sorry to hear, that sounds confusing and frustrating. I've never had one myself but I read about chemical pregnancies that sound similar to what's happening to you. If so that's sh*tty 🙁. It's probably hard to figure out until AF either arrives or doesn't arrive. I suppose if it doesn't come you could try opks in 1-2 weeks or keep testing for pregnancy. Taking the positive though, great to know you can get pregnant. Sending hugs xxx

@Meomeomeo sorry was just re-reading your post, looks like you already had CP and do you think this might be another? If so I'm really sorry it's catching you twice in a row. ☹️

The previous cycle was definitely a chemical pregnancy, it didn’t progress to be positive on cbd. This time I had bfp on cbd, frer from 10dpo, the lines we’re getting darker everyday on frer and ic, I had cbd positive on Tuesday still. Then yesterday morning, frer suddenly got faint, IC was still looking ok but I decided to get cbd in the afternoon and it was flat out negative. 2 unsuccessful in a row - that’s taking a toll on me a little. AF is kicking in today, same for my abdominal region, feel like someone is kicking me once in a while.

Hey @Donnat89 just saw your post on the other thread, so I've tagged you here again 😊

When are you planning to test or are you waiting for AF due date? Xx

Welcome @meomeomeo 👋
Sorry that you have had two CP in a row. Have you contacted your doctor in case they can offer some advice too?

Hopefully you get another BFP soon and it sticks 🤞 xxx

Hi ladies can I join?

I had an ERPC 17 days ago, still getting BFP from that pregnancy but I also think I'm 1dpo and had sex the day before that so I'm waiting for 2 more temps to confirm ovulation. I have been doing opks but I know the HCG can show up on them so I'm not sure but it looks like my LH peaked the day before a temp rise.

I had a mmc and ectopic last year, just had another mmc. 2 months ttc first time, then three, then five. Both mmc started with spotting a few days before my 12w scan and babies stopped developing about 8w. I'm subclinical hypothyroid and nearly 36.

@VP91x try temping vaginally if you don't get your BFP this cycle. It's great. No worries about open mouth etc. It's really consistent and doesn't change fast so for example I got up and got my thermometer from across the room yesterday.

I really get stressed by timing sex when ttc. Sometimes my partner can't finish and I find the pressure of initiating sex awful. So this cycle I am reeeeaaaaally hoping I am one of those ladies who gets pregnant after mc without getting a period first. Even though this last pregnancy took 5 months of trying. This month because it's so soon after mc we haven't been trying properly so much less stress. I'm hoping sex once at O-1 will do it. Normally I'm all stressed trying to do three days in a row. 🤞🤞🤞

Having had three unsuccessful pregnancies now I just feel doomed and if I get a BFP I fully expect to fail again. But I figure I have to keep at it and learn to take it in my stride, maybe I'll get my rainbow. Good luck ladies xxxx

Hi ladies can I join you please, currently DPO 9 and desperate to test but I think it's too early. I ovulated late this month on CD17. Had a MMC September last year and been trying again since January. Hoping this month is my month 🤞

Found the second thread thanks @Renna !

I'm currently 9dpo possibly 10 I didn't track properly this month so I'm not sure

I have no urge to test at all and do have back ache and have been quite moody so I'm pretty sure AF will arrive next week how is everyone ?

X

@VP91x thanks hun I plan on waiting for AF if I can , as early testing just seems to make things worse for me so would rather test when AF is due

I'm fairly certain I'm out this month but I will know in a few days ! X

Hey @SmileyT looks like I'll be joining you on the June ttc bus. Have had some spotting today which always happens before af. Also did a ic test bfn so I'm guessing I'm out 😔. Xx

@Doughnut100 welcome 👋
Gosh, I am so sorry you have suffered so many losses. I really hope that soon you get your bfp and have a safe pregnancy.

I think if I'm not lucky next month I will definitely temp vaginally I have read it can be more consistent which is good!

I understand what you mean with being under pressure to DTD. I am doing SMEP plan this month and it is alot. Been using pre-seed this month so there is less pressure to be "ready" all the time etc. Especially if feeling tired.

Xx

@JoandLily welcome too ☺️ sorry that you too have suffered a loss. Will you hold to AF do you reckon or about 12DPO?xx

@Donnat89 ahh, well 3/4 more days to go!! You're not out until AF shows. I know we read alot of positive stories but, I do see alot of women being PG and not having symptoms. I have everything crossed for you xx

@HE88 have you got a FRER to test with? Sending you a big hug if it is AF xxx

Hi ladies. I'd love to join! Really nice to read about others in the same situation.
I'm on cycle day 17 and my temp went up yesterday so I think I'm 2dpo though this is the first time I've temp'd!
I had a MC in Feb after falling pg straight away. I really thought I'd be one of those ladies who didn't have a period after and get pg straight away but nope! So next cycle I thought definately this time but no again. Hopefully things are back to normal now!
I got my bfp on cycle day 26 last time so I will probably test then.

Hey @VP91x I do have a Frer just not sure if I want to waste it. I'll see if I have anymore spotting the rest of today and tomorrow and take it from there. Xx

Welcome @13Victoria ☺️☺️

I'm on CD17 too - although not sure if I have ovulated yet or not waiting for a further BBT rise. Not too long to wait to test! Xx

@HE88 how are you feeling xx

@VP91x thank you! Gonna wait till Monday I think, I ordered some cheap pregnancy tests off eBay and they haven't come yet, sick of spending a small fortune on them and getting BFN haha xx

@VP91x I'm ok I know they say your not out until af arrives but knowing the way my cycles go in that I get spotting before af I'm out! It's just so frustrating the amount of time and effort you put into ttc to get a bfn. Xx

@HE88 I hope that you're not out and joining me on the June bus, I'm enjoying a lovely glass of rose and having a full weekend off off ttc, except for my amazon order of shit that might help next month 💁🏾‍♀️

Welcome @Doughnut100 and so sorry for your losses, hopefully you still find this thread a comfort in some way. I'm considering temping vaginally next month do you just use anti-bacterial wipes? And do you temp during your period?

@SmileyT I'm not holding out much hope. Oh what have you been buying? Xx

Also hi to all of those that have joined in the last day or so really sorry to hear what you have went through. Hope you find this group supportive xx

@mumoftwobeauts onky just seen ur msg about being 2dpo yesterday!
Tww buddies, when will u test? X

@JoandLily I know it is so so expensive. Hopefully they arrive quickly for you!!

@HE88 yeah if you have a plan for the month or doing things to actively conceive its the worst when it doesn't happen. I really hope it happens for you next cycle xx

@VP91x thanks. I hope SMEP works for you! If we could have sex that often I'd do it, it's the way to know you've definitely done all you can each month. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@SmileyT I will be completely honest with you - I don't sanitise my thermometer at all! I just wipe it. That does sound pretty bad ... but I only put the tip in and our natural defences are very good. I planned to use alcohol wipes and then never bothered. I've been doing it for a year and no infections or anything so it can't be that bad.

If you're considering it I can't recommend it enough, makes temping so much easier. My partner isn't even aware that I do it most days. One of the reasons I switched was my beeping thermometer disturbed him. I have a Bluetooth Emay thermometer from amazon now and it's silent, just tells an app on my phone the temp.

Ladies,
I feel like I'm going to DTD until the end of time at this rate 😂😂

No positives yet and still flashing away.

I think once I get to CD20 I will stop everything xx
