Hi All, I had a mmc at the end of June, and am now 8dpo after our first ovulation since the mmc. Surprisingly, I got this result this morning. Seems too early but it's there... Anyone else got a recent bfp after a miscarriage and is going through the anxiety of it all happening again? Hoping to see lots of rainbow babies xx

@Jaysdream7 and I for you! I'll light my wee candle tonight xx ❤️
@natnev it's always an odd relief I feel when fertile week is over and you can go back to some spontaneity 🤣

So my first response tests came and I'm so happy to see that the test line is so dark it's darker than the control line

Morning everyone, I keep testing and its honestly just stressing me out more. Top test is 9dpo, middle is 10dpo and bottom is this morning at 11dpo. I’m worried 11 is the same as 10, but happy it’s stronger than 9. Hoping it’s just that it’s going to double tomorrow but it’s got me worried sick!

Morning ladies! @savethewales HCG typically rises every 48 hours so it’s not unusual that today and yesterday’s tests look the same for you. Perhaps try a digital to put your mind at rest tomorrow? X

natnev · 09/09/2020 07:36

Morning ladies Smile

@savethewales definitely get a digital test but those ones look very promising to me! Congrats x

savethewales · 09/09/2020 07:54

Morning @natnev and @Littlebee1990 - I did a digital yesterday and got 1-2 weeks which is good. I’m trying to relax and when looking again I do think the line this morning is darker slightly and more defined - but like you say I should maybe expect more tomorrow or Friday. Honestly, this getting pregnant malarkey is not as easy as they made it sound when I was 13 😂

savethewales · 09/09/2020 08:08

Just a little update, took another one x

@savethewales I couldn’t agree more! I’m 13DPO and my line is darker today but I’m still worried after the chemical!

Can anyone help me with dates? Since my chemical my cycles went from 28 to 35 day cycles. My first day of last period was 7th August but I didn’t ovulate until 27th August.. 1 app puts me at 3+5 and another puts me at 4+6.. so confused! Want to book an early scan for between 6-7 weeks but don’t wanna get the dates wrong.

savethewales · 09/09/2020 08:24

@Littlebee1990 I spoke to my friend about this, she’s 23 weeks pregnant and we both have longer cycles.

She said the doctor never asked the cycle length and everything, prior to the dating scan, went on her 1st day of her last period. The 4 week one is what I would go off x

savethewales · 09/09/2020 08:28

@Littlebee1990 when I booked my dating scan yesterday it said ‘you should have had a positive before x date’ xx

ArjaD · 09/09/2020 08:41

Morning all, another negative on a cheapie test this morning. I am defeated xx 😔

Littlebee1990 · 09/09/2020 08:41

Thank you @savethewales thats super helpful! I’ll go by that for now then but think I’ll book the early scan for end of the month so I should be between 6-7.5 weeks by then, I’ve seen people go too early and nothing been picked up and that would worry me more than waiting a little longer.

I’m going to leave the tests alone for a few days, I’m going to do my final digital after the weekend and hope that’s progressed to 2-3 weeks and when I see that on the digital I’ll contact the clinic for my early scan.

Let’s defo stay in touch, when would AF have been due for you? Mines Friday.. I started bleeding around 5 weeks last time so I think when I get past the 6 mark I’ll also feel a little better xx

Littlebee1990 · 09/09/2020 08:42

@ArjaD Gutted for you, that original test was so strong. I’m so so sorry, when is AF due? Xx

ArjaD · 09/09/2020 08:45

@Littlebee1990 af due on Sat, been cramping though so defo feels like she's coming.

Littlebee1990 · 09/09/2020 08:49

@ArjaD ☹️ Do you think it’s another chemical? I keep looking at that first test photo and it’s so dark. Have everything crossed for next cycle for you. I got a false positive on a blue clear blue last month and it was heart breaking so I fully sympathise xx

savethewales · 09/09/2020 08:52

I’ve booked mine for 6 weeks and 3 days or something in the hope that something shows, it’s before I go away for a week so it might put my mind at ease!
I need to try and stay away from the tests, I might wait and do my next digital early next week and try and hold off a frer until Saturday. One app says I’m due Friday and the other says Saturday, so hopefully by then I’ll have some lovely strong lines! I’m the same for bleeding so hopeful I can get past that point and feel good about it! I’ll DM you and we could WhatsApp if you like? Xx

Littlebee1990 · 09/09/2020 09:00

@savethewales Good idea to put the mind at ease before holiday! Yeah message me and we can do that! Stop eachother having to get a new mortgage for tests 😂

ArjaD · 09/09/2020 10:07

@Littlebee1990 never had a chemical before so I really am unsure, either way though, looks like I got cursed with the faulty frer and co-op tests or indeed a chemical.

Sorry @ArjaD, that's really annoying/confusing.

Yesterday I had some light spotting which is really strange since I was CD 20 and cycles are usually 28/29 days. Was hoping it was an implantation bleed but it's much heavier today :( went from being happy I could be pregnant to worried my cycles are totally out of whack...does anyone know if you don't ovulate your cycle becomes much shorter? I didn't have CM this month so wondering if I didn't ovulate.

ArjaD · 09/09/2020 13:43

Well ladies, I got my period three days early today. At least I won't sit around waiting for it. Can't believe it but there we are. I'll stick around though to hear all your news and those still ttc, we can all go a bit crazy together xx

Emmaa124 · 09/09/2020 13:54

Aww @ArjaD sorry that af came hopefully soon though and deffo stay in touch with us and let us know

natnev · 09/09/2020 15:43

Gutted @ArjaD Sad do you think the chemical messed with your cycle a little? it's not looking good for me either, I get horrible menstrual migraines leading up to, during and after my period and they've started now, plus the usual inflated boobs, cramps and mood swings. Don't know why but really thought we'd done it this month.
