Omg at 14 weeks, im so sorry. Mine was just over 7 weeks, stopped growing at 6wks2days. Can't imagine what u went through.
Mine took 1 cycle but I got a bfn within days of the mc. How long ago was it since u got your bfn after mc?
It can take time for all the hormones to leave your system and to get your cycle back to normal. You've had a peak though so that is a really good sign xx

@MgW1 are you taking anything particular for EWCM? I drink a small glass of grapefruit juice every day, & then I have heard good reviews about primrose oil & the preseed all to help with EWCM xxxx

@MoMof4xx
I know its been really crap! Anyway I missed 3 periods in total and doc said, the more periods missed , the longer it can take. This is why I was wondering whether to get the digital opk because tbh i struggled with the cheapie ones and i am 90% certain i peaked. But digital check estrogen ? X

@HappyVibes
I have started taking evening primrose oil between cd1 - 15 ( i have 30 day cycle) as you are meant to take it in the first half of your cycle. i can take up to 3000mg ( 3 capsules ) however I have read that taking too much can give you head ache. So starting with 1 , and il increase to 2 on cd 6. It helps with ewcm , google it for info hun , its worth a try xx

@HappyVibes
Got pre seed , but only started it after ovulationi think x

Ah sounds like you have it all covered lovely - hopefully it improves this cycle for you @MgW1 Xxx

@Happyvibes I can fit 2 cycles in now before end of year so fingers crossed positive news before this crap year is out! How are you anyway? How are you feeling?.xxx

That is exactly my hope too lovely for magical news before the end of the year @MgW1 Feeling okay, a little on edge waiting for AF or a darker line. The unknown is just the hardest thing isn’t it, just wish we could see inside our bodies to know how everything is working and what’s going on, to prevent all this waiting every month 🙈If only heyy ha. Xxx

@HappyVibes
Well when was AF due? Are you going to test in a few days ? X

@MgW1 I have three apps - they say today, tomorrow & Tues. but my calculations make it Weds. Eek! Anyhow, I tested for three past three days - very faint line, faint line & then today barely there. So confusing ha. So we are gunna see what time my tests come tomorrow & if early enough I’ll test again tomorrow, if not I’ll test again Monday...unless AF arrives sooner of course. I should have just blooming waited it out until Weds before testing to have prevented all the what ifs ha xxx

@HappyVibes that's the kicker isn't it, the waiting and uncertainty with early testing. I've sworn off it for good! Stay strong love x

@Bellabubble She sounds fantastic and as though her knowledge has really given you reassurance. I love that! Still so gutted that you're having to go through it, but more experience = more wisdom and strength.

Just to add my own note - it must be all the info and positivity on here recently, but it's like something has clicked and I've finally understood what it means when they say it wasn't meant to be. Like especially as early as my mc was (just past 5 weeks) it's mostly because there's something wrong with the baby and so in a way it's sparing both of you more suffering down the line. It's hard to put into words but if anyone will understand, it's you guys. This whole thing has so many nuances. I'm not saying I'm grateful it happened, and I really have grieved for the little bean like a person, but I've also reached this weird place where I am zen about it.

On that note, ovulation tomorrow! 😂 Xx

I fully agree with that too @susiebluebell As absolutely heart wrenching it is living through it, I fully agree and truly believe that it is to prevent future heartache that may have been for ourselves or our babies.

Ooh ovulation tomorrow - very exciting times lovely - enjoy your evening of DTD for the next few days 😉 xxxx

@HappyVibes
I hope it gets darker 🤞🏻
Mine didnt and i came on. I think i had an early chemical.i have googled it 🙄 its a positive , consider it as your body prepping itself for the real deal. If it get darker then thats fab but if it doesnt then get on it later this month !!.thats my plan. Good luck xxx

Yeah we are fully prepared for that too @MgW1 They're so common CPs sadly. We have had two already. We have taken them thus far as identification that we are fertile etc etc...just dunno how long it can go on happening like this if it is another 🤔 We have all the tests going on in the background too so that’s reassuring either way. Xxx

@HappyVibes
But would you know if you hadnt tested so soon?? Um waiting in future xx

@HappyVibes
Dont give up hope xx

Absolutely agree doll - definitely not early testing after this cycle @MgW1 I’ve said it before but genuinely now we won’t be caving. Thanks lovely xxxxx

Ladies something very strange just happened. I’m between 4-6 DPO and I just had a lot of very very pale brown/pinky CM when I wiped. This has never ever happened to me before... could this be it???

@daisyorange great news. Fingers crossed for u.
@MgW1 yes the digital ones pick up estrogen :). My monitor would give 5 high days and 2 peak but it can take time to get to know you. Digital ones will give u more notice as such, that your peak is one the way :) xx

Morning everyone, hope you are all doing well. I'm 10 DPO today, currently lying in bed and willing myself to not test!!! I so want to but I really need to try and wait until at least 12 DPO!!!

Anyone else really struggling atm with the TWW?

@MoMof4xx thank you. Never happened to me in my life to have mid cycle spotting - not even with my last pregnancy, so it’s very odd for me! Cramps are also not like normal cramps it’s almost like a poking. Time will tell I guess. Now just have to muster willpower not to test!

X

@daisyorange yes good sign I had this too on day 8/9 dpo. Just depends how quick it’s implanting I think. I didn’t get it with my first lost pregnancy so hopefully it’s a sign it’s burrowing in good and snug! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I also had light cramps around 4dpo which I knew was weird for me as I usually only get them within a week before AF.

@Bellabubble I’ve responded on the other group but again I’m so sorry. No one should have to go through this at all let alone more than once xx

@daisyorange I kept notes of my symptoms and I also reported ovulation type stabbing pains. All good signs xx

Thanks @Pugprincess. I can’t lie, this has really got my hopes up... to be honest through every cycle I’ve never had many symptoms to spot and always knew I wasn’t. But this cramping is so different. My period pain is always in my lower back as I have a back-facing cervix. I shouldn’t get my hopes up so much but I already have!!
