Update from me CD20, 3DPO (I think) 🥰.. Nothing going on at the moment, will wait impatiently for the next week xx

@VP91x nope, not having that. Put it to the back of your mind, could easily be the same spotting working it's way out. Stay positive xx

@MichT4 someone pass me the gin 😂😂 xx

@VP91x 🍸🍸🍸 cheers! It's not even 10 🥳

@VP91x Most likely the same spotting... pma! Try and put all those negative thoughts to the back of your mind 😘

Good plan just keep dtd to be covered @MichT4 I would do the same - all the holding and not drinking etc is hard work! I think you can be pretty confident in the peak you had.

@Pugprincess Hopefully you aren't waiting too long 🤞🏼 is it one or two weeks since your miscarriage? I think the earliest women ovulate again after complete mc is about 2 weeks. I had also wondered about day of negative test as being cd1 - when I last spoke to EPU she said I would get af 4-5 weeks after my first negative test so could be waiting a while for me yet. I'm hoping the flashies mean I'll ovulate at some point this week though.

Was your mc natural did you say? I think that with a missed mc the hormones take longer to leave the system than with natural mc as the levels would already have been in decline when the mc started. My body didn't recognise the mc at all (no pain, no spotting whatsoever) so hormones were still rising right up until the procedure. It's all so much more complicated then you think isn't it 🙈

@MichT4 cheers (actually drinking decaff tea) 😂😂

@Northernsoul90 thank you lovely.

Honestly, you are all angels 🥰🥰 xx

@vp91x are you at the right number of days PO for IB? I feel it could be!

@micht4 10 is never too early for guns - it's 5 o clock somewhere 😂

@Northernsoul90 I find holding my wee so so hard. I have a small bladder and as soon as I think I need to hold, I'm desperate to go! How are you getting on with your OPKs now? I know you said you've had some flashing smileys but sorry I haven't kept 100% up to date with the thread and can't recall if your cheapies were showing the same as your CBS?
Your hcg tests definitely seem negative to me though. There was nothing at all on the photo!

@Pugprincess aw sorry to see you've had a breakout from the hormones. I had something similar after my mc but it did go down quite quickly. Hopefully you ovulate soon and there's no long wait for you xxx

@micht4 @vp91x too early for gins* stupid autocorrect!

@VP91x @MichT4 I’m good thanks lovelies, trying to hold off testing until Saturday, same as you @VP91x**
I don’t feel any symptoms to be honest, had bad diarrhoea (sorry TMI!) but that’s been permanent since the two miscarriages in April and June to be honest. Spoke to GP about it and going to test for IBS ... the joys!!! 😂

Fx you ovulated @MichT4, sounds promising!

How are you distracting yourself from testing @VP91x? I’m on my day off today and I’m taking DD to her music class and doing the food shop! Xx

Thank you @MrsK21 you've all relived my anxiety this morning and I'm taking them as negative! I am also struggling with the holding, I normally drink a lot of water and tea so it's a bit of a struggle.

The cb was another flashy this morning (second one) cheapys are quite low percentage wise around 15 percent they've been. I'm going to try holding and doing more cheapys throughout the day. @VP91x has been educating me about opks.... so the lines on the cheap ones may fluctuate until I get a static smiley and then hopefully they should show as peak also. I just don't want millions of flashy smileys so fingers crossed I see a static by the weekend.

How are you this morning?

Relieved not relived 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

@Pugprincess I broke out awful bad after my mc, and just before I ovulated. So keep on going with those opks!! You never know.

@VP91x nope don’t believe for a minute it’s AF. Could be the same
Spotting, ur body has finally ovulated this month so ur uterus may very well be upset that something is wigglying its way into ur walls lol that’s my theory anyway and you can’t change my mind!!! Lol

Thinking of starting sliming world. Not to lose weight but maybe maintain weight. I know midwifes can support u joining but probs be 12
Weeks before I’m allocated one. Anyway any advice on slimming world with pregnant, is it healthy extras?

Thanks guys yes il keep using a cheap opk each eve and if I start getting a darker line or I notice a change with my cm then il switch onto the cb digital, don’t want to waste those till I think it’s worth it. Yes my mc was complete and natural and happened 2 weeks tomorrow. Although I was spotting brown that got heavier for awhile before so I bet something was declining, probably the progesterone. Wow @Northernsoul90 no wonder your bodies confused with it not recognising, so cruel, glad you are getting somewhere now though. As frustrating as it is I’m just going to have to patient as there’s nothing I can do, my mind can be as ready as it likes but if my bodies not playing ball nothing I can do, like you say @2020wish ovulation could happen any day from now so just got to keep that pma. The spots are so painful 😖 like boils that never get a head you can pop they just linger for like a week. I even have a painful one in my eyebrow!!! My back hurt to lean on last night cause a big one there. I had a huge one down below too. And to top it all off I got bitten by a horse fly so my hands red swollen and itchy 😩

Poor me! 😅

@Pugprincess u aren’t having a good time of it :( it will all pass. Get urself a nice face mask and get a nice relaxing bath x

@Northernsoul90 yeah I think I need to trust the peak too, my temps will confirm and if not, I'll OPK again. Typically I feel so thirsty today so I think my body is done with holding.

@MrsK21 😂😂 guns!

@Diorissimo1985 good plan on waiting, think it's reassuring to know that when you test it should be an accurate result.

I do hope I have ovulated, either to have had a chance or just not to be waiting so long.

I'm doing ok @Northernsoul90 thanks for checking up on me ☺️ I've started charting my BBT and attempting to stick to it, it's not telling me much atm but I can see a few fluctuations and hoping to see a big dip to indicate AF on her way soon.
Also been keeping busy with work and exercise so that's helped loads.
Can't wait to join you on doing some digis soon.
How are you doing? Apart from being bamboozled by your OPKs xxx

@chloedancer897 how are you doing? Have your period cramps eased? Xx

@MrsK21 I'm 7dpo now so possibly, just worried it is AF coming early now but going to try and stay positive xx
I've been meaning to ask has your hair loss completely stopped now?

@Diorissimo1985 not very successfully distracting myself, but I'm reorganising my cupboards today. We still have alot of decorating to be done, so will do some of that over the next few days. That sounds like a good day! Xx

@2020wish I hope so!! I'll stay positive. I've never done SW but I've read up about it, I think it is healthy extras in PG. Definitely do it if it will make you feel better, its healthy eating anyway which is good xx

@Pugprincess hormones go crazy post MC. Hopefully the spots go soon. I lost loads and loads of hair after mine it has only recently stopped almost 6 months later xx

Thank you @Pugprincess I hope you aren't waiting too long! I'm definitely there with you with the mind being there but body maybe not xx

@MrsK21 Glad you are doing okay! Fingers crossed for your dip and af 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I'm trying to get back into exercise too it really does help! sorry I know you will have said but was your mc natural? I'm doing alright I need to try and relax about things though I think my mind is quite consumed by everything at the minute. It's the unknown that's the worst as I'm sure you'll understand xx

OPK update, just took this after a 3 hour hold - needed the loo and realised I'd been working since 9 and hadn't had a drink so thought I might as well. Definitely lighter, coming up as 41 on femometer. So hopefully a good sign xx

Hi all!

I've been following your threads for a while and they have really kept me going the past couple of months!
I miscarried at the beginning of June at 10 weeks and ended up in A&E with the pain and bleeding, thankfully everything seemed to have passed. About 3 weeks later I was still having a +test so I was rescanned at the EPU only to be told that my uterus is clear but I had a 4cm dermoid cyst on my ovary (totally shocked that this was never picked up before?!).
Being really freaked out, as the nurse had mentioned "dw, it's probably bengein (sp?)" I booked a private consult with a gyno and was scanned a week later to find out there was nothing there...big phew but oh my gosh, what a ride.

So finally got a positive OPK yesterday morning on CD16, hoping for a sticky bean this time .

I have loved keeping up to date with everyone's journey, it has really given me hope! Wishing everyone luck .

xxxx

@VP91x arghhh so we end up bald and spotty 😅😩🙈 as if mc wasn’t cruel enough to us!! I feel fat today, was feeling slimmer recently 😔 even the scales said I weigh more this morn 😖 I’m ignoring it. I blame the 8 biscuits I scoffed yesterday 🤣 just been aldi to get my next few healthy dinners in, doing fish, veg and new potatoes tonight and I’ll make my own cheese sauce to add to it. X

@MichT4 oooh you probably did ovulate then 🥰 brilliant news xxx

@Pugprincess haha yeah, it is not a fun journey. Scales fluctuate alot especially when you're super hormonal at the moment. As long as you're feeling better within yoursslf then that is most important xx

Welcome @DancingGiraffe sorry you have had a loss recently and a scare with the cyst glad it is all sorted for you and positive you have ovulated. Fingers crossed for you this month xxx

@2020wish I do slimming world but never have when I've been pregnant. From what I understand you get extra healthy As which is for your calcium intake. You need to get your doctors authority to do it whilst pregnant xx

@VP91x its slowed significantly now. Falling a lot less than before but still more than normal if that makes sense. Has yours stopped now?
What do you have planned for the rest of the day? Hope you are getting a chance to put your feet up. I watched a few of Inge Fleur's videos on the TWW and she keeps saying "Rest rest rest!" Anymore spotting? Really hopeful it's IB, all the signs are there for you lovely xxx

@Pugprincess
yep spotty and bald! I hope my DH still wants to DTD after all this lol

@Northernsoul90 my mc was natural. The bleeding was really heavy for a week and a week later I passed some tissue. Had some spotting on and off a couple of weeks later which made the nurse think there might be some tiny bits of retained tissue.
What have you tried so far to try and take your mind off things? One of the lovely ladies suggested some podcasts which I tried. The exercise if definitely helping me, maybe you could try getting into something relaxing like yoga or pilates? xxx
