Ttc after miscarriage 🤞🌈✨

[Skl2021]

Just a thread for any ladies ttc after a miscarriage! Nice to get some support from people going through the same thing. So I had a MMC at ten weeks nearly three weeks ago now. I'm still getting faint positive on tests. My ovulation tests are still all over the place possibly due to the HCG still being in my system. So not totally accurate right now. So I'm currently stuck in limbo land either waiting for ovulation or my period 🤔 any ladies want to join the journey?!?!

Hi guys wanted to get your eyes as not sure if I am going mad or not, is that the squintiest of squinty lines? Can anyone else see something?

@MO22 yes I can see something!

@Hopingforarainbow27 Christ.

Naturally I've now convinced myself it's retained stuff from my MMC, even tho I had a neg test this time last week... That was a clear blue early detection and this is first response. So it could be, I don't know.

Think I'll just have to test again tomorrow...!

@MO22 yes I can see one in the two last pictures!! Eeee!!

@MO22 I can see it 🤞 it goes darker over the next few days ✨🙌 x

@aesgriff @Skl2021 thanks guys... At least I'm not going mad.

I have no idea if I'm 9 or 12 DPO just based on DTD, but had to test as had some symptoms. I won't get excited and will test again tomorrow, Christ on a bike...

@MO22 I can see it that's how mine started 🤞🏻 good luck

Update @claremc1983 I have bloods booked at the GP's for Thursday so a waiting game until then 🤞🏻🙏🏻 don't feel to positive though tbh

@ariansky thinking of you, hope the time goes quickly and it's positive news, big 🤞 for you x

Thank you @MO22 🤞🏻🙏🏻🌈

@MO22 That's defo positive congrats!

@arianasky oh that's good! Least the GP is doing something. How u feeling in yourself? X

@MO22 exciting! Defo positive..what cycle are u on after MC? X

@calimc83 she was lovely tbh I thought they might think I'm daft but she was very understanding thankfully, I'm ok very up and down I have loads of symptoms I've had positive tests normal and digital but the fact their lighter is making me panic and making me believe I'll lose the pregnancy soon 😔

@calimc83 so er, no cycle... I haven't had my period yet, but I did get a neg pregnancy test post surgical management in Dec. We DTD first 11 days after surgery as I'd stopped bleeding and they said it was ok once bleeding had stopped - but I didn't necessarily think I'd ovulate or anything.

I am a bit worried that maybe I read that negative test wrong? My sis is a doctor and I showed her and she said it was negative tho, I don't know. I think I just need to keep testing and see if the line gets darker.

I suppose this is why they say wait one cycle... Idiot!

@MO22 I have had quite a few FRERS like that over the last few months. They now have a preset line on them which you can see before you even use them.

What brand of test did you use when you got the negative after mc? I was getting positive frers for a while whilst other brands were negative after mc.

However, I do think the test looks slightly darker than the false positive lines people have been getting recently. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

@chasingtherainbow1 I've never used FRER before, first time today as I wasn't sure if/when I'd ovulated so wanted to go for the earliest one. I have read re the pre-set line stuff tho but I forgot to look before I POAS! I will tomorrow.

I used clear blue early detection for my neg test, I'm guessing that's probably not as sensitive as FRER? I've also got one of those, a digital one, so will try again tomorrow.

Weirdly I also got a static smiley a few days ago as I was waiting for ovulation, although not sure that can be linked given the FRER was so light today.

I've made a bit of a mess of this ha, I'll just have to see on line progression but I'm beginning to think this is just wistful thinking and maybe retained product.

@MO22 some seem to have the lines and others don't, I've been really disappointed with them recently. Yeah I don't think clear blue are as sensitive.

It's really frustrating isn't it. I had a mc/chemical in March and got pregnant the next cycle without a period but my hcg on day of mc was already as low as 9. It was so difficult to try and date the next pregnancy. Unfortunately the next one turned out to be a mmc and it took 10 weeks for my hcg to return to zero! I had scans for retained tissue but it was all clear. I think sometimes it just takes a while for hcg to reset, especially with mmc.

@arianasky I can totally imagine. I'd be the same. I guess it's just a case now of hanging on till Thursday. Can u hold off testing till then? X

@MO22 ahh ok...if you had a negative test after the medical management u should be ok?? Maybe tests again in a few days to see if any line progression...I have everything crossed for you! As @chasingtherainbow1 mentioned the line definitely has colour so shouldn't be an indent x

@Skl2021 how are u getting on?? I'm 4 DPO and contemplating testing! 😆😆😆 must step away from the tests...x

@chasingtherainbow1 I had a MMC too, discovered at 12 weeks as I was bleeding, so my body did start to pass it but I went with SMM just so I could move it. To be honest, I was really surprised (but pleased) to get the negative test two weeks later and because it was an early response one I figured we were good to go, but I guess maybe not.

I don't really know where I stand with FRER, I should probably wait two days and test again but who am I kidding, I'm sure I'll be POAS desperately tomorrow. I have read you can still ovulate even if HCG is not zero tho?

@calimc83 I'm loosing my Mind already. No change in opks! 🤣😬 Cd 12. Wish it would happen already 🙈 last month was cd 17 so probably got a while to go yet. Haha hey I bet IV tested that early before 🤣👀 I usually test with opks aswell before switching to HCG! X

Oh god @Skl2021 don't tempt me with the OPKs! 😆😆 got loooads of those about....if I did...how should a positive one look?? 🙈 hope u don't have too much longer to wait x

@MO22 oh that's good that your negative was with early response. I would imagine your hcg definitely returned to zero then before the last test. Yeah I was told you can still ovulate when there's left over hcg but the chances of getting pregnant during this time are lower. But sounds like yours are at zero anyway.

Yeah I guess all you can do is retest in a few days. Oh god I know, I'm so bad for waiting to test, I must have spent a fortune on tests over the last few months! I'm currently 2DPO and I already know I'll be testing at 8DPO because o can't help myself 😂
