Hi all,

A thread for the ladies from the recent MC/MMC group and for anybody else who wants to join us as we discuss getting our cycles back on track after MC and starting to TTC again x

@Pettylamby I definitely see colour too!! I've read a lot on amazon about fake ones but I think you could tell they were fake from from wrapping. I'd definitely try with another brand! You should start to get a squinter on an IC by tomorrow! I'm assuming you've had negative FRERs since the mc?

Pettylamby · 08/03/2021 10:06

LADIES...

right... Don't ask me why but I decided to take another with SMU...

LOOK!

I didn't even adjust the pic??

Could it be?? Even without any rise in my RHR!??

@Pettylamby I definitely see it aswell with a bit of pink colour in it. Get a different brand and test again or leave it for a couple of days and re-test. Oh I so hope it's a positive for you, I really do

Ralala · 08/03/2021 10:17

@Pettylamby I can see a line. Have you had negatives on a frer before this test? If you have been negative before then this looks very promising ...

DMT1982 · 08/03/2021 10:21

Girls totally off subject I just heard from the Daft Punk tune Get Lucky. The lyrics made me smile and thought we all want to get lucky so can be our theme tune when we need cheering up xxx

Pettylamby · 08/03/2021 10:22

Thanks @Neady1980 and @Ralala... I have somewhat depleted my test stash so I'm defo gonna wait! I still don't really believe it but it is a clear line and there is no dubiety in person it is defo pink! I did get negative tests so it would defo not be residual hcg from my MMC.

I just don't understand why I haven't had a rise in RHR like last time, I find that strange but maybe that's to come!

Just have to wait and see which is the worst part of all!

Thanks to everyone who commented and sorry if I got a bit crazy, this whole thing is a giant mind fuck isn't it!!

Mellous · 08/03/2021 10:42

@Pettylamby oh yes i see it much clearer now!!! eeee this could be our third bfp!!

Fingers crossed for you @Pettylamby 💕

LauraT94 · 08/03/2021 10:53

@Pettylamby I can definitely see that!! Could just be a later implantation than you thought?! You could also be one of the people who test stronger in the afternoon/later in the day! If you have the spare pennies and prime so you can get them quickly, I 100% recommend these tests! They're showing up just as strong as the FRERs! And far cheaper.

@Neady1980 @AMS19 @DMT1982 @Mellous @Pettylamby @PlantMummy87 thank you all! I'm only 10dpo today so still plenty of room for lots of dark line progression haha! I'm going to share with my mum today as I just need someone else to talk to about it all other than my OH!

Mellous · 08/03/2021 10:55

I'm looking again @Pettylamby as I'm so excited for you... I do think this is a bfp!! ahh!!

@LauraT94 fab line for 10dpo! aww lovely news for your mum xx

OP posts:
Pettylamby · 08/03/2021 11:33

It's the first one I haven't thrown away @mellous and I keep going to check it! I still don't believe it's gonna turn into a bfp so we'll wait and see!

Right @LauraT94... Just ordered those tests so we'll see! Also have a stash of CB digital but not even considering them at the moment! 😱

angc30 · 08/03/2021 12:25

@Pettylamby I think that's a line!!! I see some colour. I swear the tescos £3.50 blue ones are better than the FRER. I think I'm the only person that actually prefers them though. I was taking 2 a day my last BFP until 6 weeks so I couldn't afford the FRER

@LauraT94 that's definitely progression! I think it's important to let yourself get hopeful, everything crossed your lines keep getting darker and you get your rainbow 🌈

@DMT1982 love a theme song!

SuzieDeLaTour · 08/03/2021 12:36

@LauraT94 ahhh definitely getting darker! So exciting!! I’m really, really happy for you x
@AMS19 you’ll have to let us know how your acupuncture went. You might just convert me 😁
@Pettylamby I see a line too!!! If you’ve had stark white negatives since your MC then this has surely got to be a new little bean?! Oh fingers and toes crossed you for my love!! X

AMS19 · 08/03/2021 12:49

@DMT1982 @SuzieDeLaTour so honestly I don't feel an different? I'm sure inside it's doing wonders but for the money I wouldn't do it again. I cant see how it would make any difference to my hormones or cycle at all...I'm glad i tried it but for the cost probably wouldn't bother again!

dippyegg32 · 08/03/2021 12:52

Omg this is such a lucky thread!!! GrinGrinGrin

dippyegg32 · 08/03/2021 13:02

I feel a bit more eager to test early now, these wonderful positives are all tempting me!!

PlantMummy87 · 08/03/2021 13:15

@AMS19 that's so interesting to hear about your acupuncture experience today. I've got my first appointment this evening so will see how that goes for me too.

TTC94 · 08/03/2021 13:20

@Pettylamby - it looks like a line to me! A tentative congrats!

What are people’s thoughts on how often we should DTD during the fertile window?

I’m torn between every other day and daily?! I have read conflicting information about which is better!

Tealchoc · 08/03/2021 13:25

Hi ladies, I’m just moving over from the miscarriage thread.

Huge congratulations @Summersun001 @LauraT94 !!’
@Pettylamby that looks like a positive to me, will keep my fingers crossed 🤞

All these lovely bfps have given me hope!

DMT1982 · 08/03/2021 13:57

@AMS19 thanks for the update. I wonder if it’s something you have to have a few sessions of to feel the benefit OR that particular therapy is not for you and to try reflexology? Xxx

Mellous · 08/03/2021 14:10

@dippyegg32 it definitely feels like a lucky thread... im dyyyyying to test already!

OP posts:
AMS19 · 08/03/2021 14:17

@dmt1982 I think it might be a bit of both! I might try "normal acupuncture" rather than specialist fertility acupuncture which is a lot cheaper and I'm definitely going to try reflexology! I do feel slightly more lighter as the afternoon is going on...

Ralala · 08/03/2021 14:34

@TTC94 we do every other day from cd10 to cd20 roughly. I have a 31 day cycle so slightly longer than others. This means I catch early ovulation around cd12/13 or late ovulation around cd17/18. I tend to ovulate cd15. I was told my gynaecologist it’s best to have lots of seamen waiting for the egg and some back up just in case. Sorry! Always makes me laugh!!

Ralala · 08/03/2021 14:56

So cd13 and my temps are wild! Up and down and generally all over the place! Fun times .

AMS19 · 08/03/2021 15:03

@ralala don't worry I'm identical! CD13 too and crazy temps. I've attached my chart. But I did get a very strong peak last night and temp drop this morning so hoping today is ovulation day 🙏🤞
