Ttc #1 - cycle 7

[rosiej95]

Really fed up of AF showing up month after month now 🤦🏼‍♀️ we've been taking the see what happens but dtd lots approach. But now going into month 7 so We've decided to use the clear blue opk's to see if it gives us a better chance. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Now to just wait for AF to disappear 😀

Any one else ttc #1? 😀

Morning all,

Thank you for your kind messages it means a lot, sorry it’s taken a while to respond I just needed some time and wanted confirmation on what was happening as it’s all new to me.

I’m home now - my scan shows I did miscarriage but it has now gone so classed as a natural miscarriage so no further treatment required at this stage.

They’ve said I can try again once my period returns in around 3-6 weeks and should I fall pregnant again they will offer to do a early reassurance scan which was nice of them.

Aw I'm really sad to hear that. You seem to be very mature about it all. I guess it is somewhat good that you don't have to have any other procedures and that you can try again soon but it's a big emotional weight to carry. I have heard that figures are actually more like 1 in 2 women miscarry but because it isn't spoken about as openly or some people don't realise because they sent trying then the figures arent that high. So sorry. I feel like saying please eat lots of chocolate and drink lots of cocktails to let off some steam (goes to show what a exhilarating life I lead haha) but you deal with it your way and don't let anyone rush you or tell you otherwise. Thank you for letting me know as been worried about you!

@Loops01 thank you. Yes, was quite relived that it was over in a way so can now move on. Last weekend I had a moment where I said I couldn’t go through this again as it broke me but after a week I’ve changed my attitude and ready to go again.

Yes, I think so too - it’s very common and just need to remain positive it will will be ok next time.

I’ve got some nice cakes 😂😂, might have a drink at the weekend! X.

@AZ1992X I’m so sorry ♥️ I’m grateful it’s not been drawn out too much for you and that you can have some closure after yesterday, and that they didn’t say they weren’t sure so you’d have had more waiting. Absolutely love your attitude - onwards and upwards, my girl 💪🏻

10dpo here and bfn. I’ve been convincing myself I see “the start of something” on my easy@home tests since Sunday night but I’m pretty sure it’s just where the second line would be - so an evap I guess. I know everyone says you’re not out until af shows but I feel like, having been at it for this long, I would expect to see a more convincing hint of a line at this point if it was going to end in a bfp 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Amy259 I think with those tests there's always a faint white line that shows that's slightly translucent if that helps? I've never had a colour to that line when testing.

@AZ1992X go you! If you feel low again its perfectly normal and you're allowed to feel that way but I'm glad you can pick yourself back up!!

@Loops01 I’ll upload a photo but I doubt you can see anything - I dipped another in water and there’s no indent/evap on that one, but I’ve been seeing this magical second line for 36 hrs now with no change so I’m pretty sure it’s nothing. I always tell myself I shouldn’t test this early but I have zero self control. Whilst I was ready for the disappointment, I was also hopeful this was our month.

Sorry I don't see anything. It is difficult. How many days before AF shows? Maybe try again in 2 days and if nothing darker than consider it a no until AF is late? It's horrible wanting to see that faint line but I can't help much as never had! What cycle is this for you?

Thanks @Amy259 @Loops01

Just a waiting game now, never thought I’d be wishing AF would turn up!

@Loops01 due on Saturday so a little while yet. I know, sometimes I think my eyes are making it up!! I’m on cycle 10 currently. Feels like a lifetime, mind you.

Ah couldn't remember if you were same cycle! So I'm cycle 10 (cd7). Youre finishing cycle 10 and Rosie is cycle 11. Surprised we haven't all sync'd 😂. Yeah I would maybe test again Thurs to see if you can't wait for AF to show. If you use the easy@home tests - what are your kinda average lows before fertile window and then what value is your peak or highs roughly? Just wondering as didn't manage to track my last cycle ovulation properly so only going off 1 cycle of easy@home

@AZ1992X
I'm so sorry for you & your partner ❤️😞

My boyfriend has been feeling much better 😁 so have managed to dtd the past couple of nights so I'm back in the running again ha
I've not managed to do opk's but my app is saying I'm due to ovulate in the next 2 days & I had EWCM yesturday and this morning so hopefully that means something too 🤞🏻

@Amy259 I know exactly what you mean!
I have proper line eyes every time I take a test.
I can see the start of something but not sure if what I can see the lines in the right place?
10dpo is still early tho so hopefully over the next couple of days it gets stronger if it is a bfp! :D

@Loops01 do you mean my days or actual values of OPKs? I normally ovulate on day 18 (31 day cycles), peaking with like 1.2/1.3 on day 17. Day 16 is normally around 0.6 and the rest of the cycle is down around 0.2. I’ve got quite a quick peak - it only stays positive for maybe 6 hours?

@rosiej95 bfn this morning so looks like I’m out. I knowww it’s only 11dpo but surely I’d see something by this point 😂 everyone seems to! With my chemical I had a vvvvfl at 9dpo and very obvious lines from 11dpo onwards, so now I tend to use 11dpo as my cut off!
Great news that you’re back in the running this month!!🎉

Holddddd! I posted that when the dye was still moving across but couldn’t see anything. Now it’s finished, there is definitely a line. Not a line I need to squint and hold in the light, just a very faint pink line I can see. Trying not to get my hopes up, but I swear it’s there...

Well that's good news @Amy259!

@Amy259 how are you getting on?
have you got an update? 😍😍

Got my fingers crossed for you @Amy259 🤞

@Loops01 @rosiej95 @AZ1992X looks like bfn this morning, so must’ve been a bad indent. But it was pink and very clear, so remind me not to trust easy@home again 💔

Sorry @Amy259 , mustn’t be nice after getting your hopes up. You’re still not out yet though as it’s still early ... On the easy @ home ones I didn’t get a positive until a few days after my period was due. X.

@AZ1992X thank you, serves me right for getting my hopes up - I should know better by now 😂 I wish I was much more chilled about it all, I feel so consumed by it this tww and ttc in general. DH has his SA on Monday so at least something is happening this month to help us move forward.

How are you feeling this week?

@Amy259 It’s hard not to get consumed by it all - It literally takes over doesn’t it. I hope that helps and brings some reassurance for you both.

Feeling much better thank you - body seems to have gone back to before - only a small bit of spotting but am expecting that could last another week or so. Just waiting impatiently for AF but if I’m honest it’s probably going to be a few more weeks till it does. I’ve told my family now too and feel much better for talking about it. X.

@AZ1992X yeah it definitely takes over. I’m just so ready to start our family!! This month has been the toughest for a while in terms of disappointment, especially with yest’s second line. Temps are high, cervix is really high (normally by now it’s back low for af coming), I feel funny, but bfn 🙈 I’d rather feel normal PMS and have all hopes dashed.

I’m glad you’re feeling better and have been able to talk about it all. Is af likely to take a cycle from your bleed, so another 3 weeks or so? I cant help much here, when I had my chemical I was only 4+3 so much earlier and the cycle following was about 5 days longer than usual. But I think a chemical bleed counts as a period, and I did ovulate again before my next af.

@Amy259 it’s tough, I’m seeing all these pregnancies/babies on social media and it’s really hard as you want that to be you. I’m sure our time will come 🤞

Well I’m likely to ovulate in the two weeks following my MC but not allowed dtd at min whilst it’s still bleeding. They’ve pretty much told me to wait until AF turns up which can be between around 3-6 weeks after MC then can try again. X.

How you getting on @Amy259 any sign of AF? X.

Morning @AZ1992X. I’m okay thank you, not yet no but definitely feeling a bit bloated and angsty like I normally do just before it arrives, and still bfn. Very disappointed but it is what it is!

How are you doing? Still spotting for now? X

@Amy259 Glad you’re ok, ah sorry it’s still bfn 😔.

I’m not too bad thank you - yes still light bleeding - some days it’s almost nothing then odd day light bleeding. Hoping it’s nearly over 🤞. X
