@Cindy974 I DTD before I got my BFP with my previous pregnancy 😆..but then it was any excuse to not DTD 😆..x

Ganesh2022 · 03/02/2022 12:00

@Cindy974 1...jealous that you guys still want to after all the trying!!! Right now I'd be glad to go without!
I always avoided it for the first few months when pregnant; I know it doesn't cause loss but I was scared I'd bleed b/c of sensitivity and then freak out/have to run to hospital and get it checked. It's actually something we vowed to do differently this time, though after m/c I can't see it getting easier to...

Your tests look good @Skl2021!

Haha try to resist packing the tests @Ganesh2022. Hopefully your break will be a welcome distraction from TTC.

Ah amazing @aesgriff! How long is your lp normally? I think I tested too late at 8dpo because af arrived at 11dpo, so I'm going to do it again this cycle around 5dpo instead.

Sorry to hear af arrived @Tofu35 and you're finding things difficult. I can imagine there's just that feeling of dread, like you've got a long road ahead of you. Really hope it doesn't take 2 years for you this time round 🤗

@PamelaDoov I would buy some cheap opk strips so you can continue testing twice a day for as long as needed. Hopefully you haven't missed ovulation and it's probably just your body trying to recover after the mc. Have you been dtd anyway?

@calimc83 I always got stronger lines in the afternoon so I don't necessarily think fmu is really important!

Hi @jjunaki100. I don't know anything about macca root or aspirin I'm afraid but sorry about your mc. I hope you're okay.

@Vhopeful sorry to hear about your mc too. I personally wouldn't worry so much about the negative test. I would just try and relax and dtd regularly in the cycle straight after your mc, as long as you've stopped bleeding.

@arianasky I can see the line! I wouldn't be able to wait til tomorrow to test again. I'd end up doing one this afternoon 😂 Fingers crossed for you!!

Can't wait for more testing over the weekend from a few of you. Good luck x

Cruz86 · 03/02/2022 12:12

@Cindy974 I have a real block about dtd after a bfp, right up until about 12 weeks normally 🤣🤣

arianasky · 03/02/2022 12:17

@Cruz86 I'm already overthinking, I only have 2 frer left so I'm thinking do I use one later this afternoon and one in the morning as I have some coming tomorrow from Amazon 😂🙈

Emeal123 · 03/02/2022 12:34

@arianasky I see the line too! 🤞🏻crossing fingers and sending baby dust your way!!

@Cindy974 my partner has said he will not dtd with me if/when we finally get our BFP as he is so worried it could harm the baby - even though I doubt that would happen and all online research says to continue as normal!

Ganesh2022 · 03/02/2022 13:00

@Cruz86 The problem is...if I don't pack the tests, I'll end up begging my husband to run out to get the nearest test two seconds after possible fertilisation, and as we'll be in the middle of nowhere it'll be expensive and hard to find. A controlled person would use this to their advantage and have a total break...but I am no longer that person! Blush

arianasky · 03/02/2022 13:12

@Emeal123 🤞🏻🙏🏻🌈

Well I'm glad I'm not imagining a line anyway if you can all see it aswell 🤞🏻 I just hope it's not an indent and something comes of it 🙏🏻

calimc83 · 03/02/2022 13:18

@Ganesh2022 ohh where u off? Think I missed this xx

PamelaDoov · 03/02/2022 13:25

@Cruz86 I do have some and they are totally blank even with the flashing smileys and all the physical symptoms :( yeah we DTD every other day and have done since last Sunday (wish I hadn’t bothered starting so early!)

Vhopeful · 03/02/2022 13:41

Thanks for the welcome ladies.
@Cruz86 Thanks! Is better not to check with OPK after MC? Because my OPK is still strong positive, but I think that's reacting with my residual HCG from MC. I don't know when I should start tracking. I read some messages in the beginning of the thread but couldn't find it.

  • how long it took you all to ovulate after the MC ? I know everyone is different, but just to have an idea.
Skl2021 · 03/02/2022 14:04

@calimc83 I'm doing ok. It's my youngest birthday tomorrow so IV been busy rushing round trying to get Everything 🤣 could just go to sleep tho 🤦 yes that's a good mindset Im trying to think like that too 🤞 nothing I can do about the outcome. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't 🤣🤦 xx

@Cindy974 nope I haven't DTD either as I'm too scared too 🤣🤦 xx

@arianasky will u test again tomorrow? X

Sparklesurprise29 · 03/02/2022 14:14

Bleeding when I wipe at 10DPO☹ not sure if AF or IB☹ if the flow increases I think im out!

I can see a vfl @arianasky!💕

Skl2021 · 03/02/2022 14:20

@Cruz86 thankyou 💞🤞 xx

@Sparklesurprise29 keeping my fingers crossed it's good news 🤞 xx

OP posts:
Cindy974 · 03/02/2022 14:24

Judging by everyone’s responses think I’ll leave DTD for a while 🤣x

calimc83 · 03/02/2022 14:39

@Sparklesurprise29 ohh 😯 fingers crossed it's just a bit of implantation. Did you test again? X

calimc83 · 03/02/2022 14:45

@Skl2021 glad you are ok! Ha ha let's try keep to this mindset...if we can! 😬😆 aww what's he doing for his birthday?! Xx

Skl2021 · 03/02/2022 14:50

@calimc83 he wants to go to a trampoline park. So nice and easy! Just been getting banners and balloons and final bits. Haha yes I'm sure my mindset changes every hour. 🤦 Im extremely tired and don't know if that's because I'm pregnant and I'm also getting cramps and dizziness alot 🤦 now I'm worried about ectopic. 🤦 Can't focus xx

OP posts:
Emeal123 · 03/02/2022 15:30

@Vhopeful I used OPK after MC. I had a BFN a week after MC and then negative OPKs until a static smiley peak ovulation exactly 2 weeks after MC. I don't know how accurate it was but it seemed right for my cycle but now this month is all over the place! No idea what's going on 🤦🏼‍♀️💕

Vhopeful · 03/02/2022 15:49

@Emeal123 thanks! I am day 8 of MC today still testing positive for HCG. Will test again in few days and see it goes negative. I am sorry your OPK all over this cycle. Hopefully, you will get some clarity soon.. Baby dust to all 💕

calimc83 · 03/02/2022 16:01

@Skl2021 lovely! Hope he has the best time...why do u think it would be ectopic? It's probs just the early pregnancy hormones making you super tired and dizzy. Try and take it easy if u can xx

arianasky · 03/02/2022 16:13

@Skl2021 definitely 😂🙈 I took one on an hour hold just now and I'd say same darkness as this morning so just hoping they're not indents 🙏🏻🌈

@Sparklesurprise29 oh no! How is the bleeding now? Hopefully it's implantation?

Skl2021 · 03/02/2022 16:39

@calimc83 oh you know my old friend Dr Google. 🤣 Apparently that's signs of ectopic. I'm hoping IV just been doing too much past few days it's been taking it out of me. How's work going or not going 🤣🙊 xx

@arianasky haha do we have pics 🙊 that's good that it came up with a hour hold 🤞🤞 xx

Well ladies I decided today was the day and I used my last frer. I was sick of it sat there and it's not going to help me so it's done. And I won't be buying anymore. Just have to hope everything is alrite now 🤞🌈 x

@calimc83 I'll be in Wales (not anywhere near shops!) during half term week; it was booked in a very different time/mood but I think getting away can't hurt anyway...that should be during the 2WW but as ovulation eludes me...ugh!

Has anyone tried the cough syrup trick? Is it a thing?

@QuoteSkl2021 Is that the coveted dye-stealer!!! Nice to go out (of FRER use) on such a positive note! I could be wrong but I think in general with ectopic they're unlikely to go dark (as yours have)

Cindy974 · 03/02/2022 17:13

@Skl2021 Woohoo 🎉 I’ve had a dye stealer today too! Was buzzin
