🌈 Ttc after miscarriage thread 7 🌈💕🤞✨

[Skl2021]

New thread ladies 🌈✨💕

@LuckyMoonstone @calimc83 thank you! Up in the north of Scotland - drizzly rain and frosty mornings forecast all week. Having lovely food (and lovelier wine!) 😅

@Tofu35 lovely! 😍 hope the weather improves xx

@MO22 I'm 8DPO today - was brave and tested using easy@home. Unsurprisingly, bfn. I think I'm out this month anyway!! Where are you in your cycle? The jabby needles are defo worth a go - I've seen some women swear by them so 🤷‍♀️

Does anyone else see the faintest of fainty faint lines here?! 🙈 not sure I've actually gone mad. 8dpo.

Scrap that. I realise how ridiculous that picture is - even I'm struggling to see it! 🤦‍♀️

@bunnykins123 very very possibly, but I’m just as bad at the moment so don’t take my word for it!

I’ve completely failed at not peeing on sticks and wasting FRERs to try and ‘monitor’ my situation (not helped by an Amazon cock up when I ordered 1 pack of FRERs and received 6?!).

Attached pic is yesterday’s test and today’s. I think I can possibly see a teeny bit more of a line from this morning - but not beyond the realms of variation caused by different urine dilutions?! 🤷‍♀️ I will try my best to refrain from testing again until the end of the week….

CD16 and day 3 of blank circle! But I just checked my notes for last cycle and I didn’t get a flashy smiley until CD18.
I didn’t get a static smiley last cycle as I ran out of tests after about 5 days of flashing and couldn’t be bothered to get any more and carry on as I was feeling so disheartened.

@curliegirlie I definitely see the line! More prominent in the bottom test 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

@curliegirlie I've become a woman obsessed 🤪 oh I totally see yours in the bottom one!! Got my fingers crossed for you 🤞 are you still unsure what CD day you are?

We’ll see… I’m now struggling to see anything on them at all in real life 🤷‍♀️. It doesn’t help that I have no idea if or when ovulation might have occurred this month, so even whether I’m in the right ball park testing now, as when previously TTC my ovulation varied from CD 15 to CD25 (when I conceived Jess!), and that’s even without adding lingering positives from a MC into the mix…

@bunnykins123 I think I can see your line!

I’m CD27 post miscarriage, but no idea if I ovulated, as I only started doing OPKs at the start of last week, so all I know is I haven’t had positive OPKs from CD19, so am obviously hoping I might have ovulated a bit earlier than that (which makes testing now slightly less barmy!) but who knows. It could be a random and anovulatory cycle this month due to MC hormones.

That's great @Lizm1990 .. maybe we can be 2WW buddies 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi @bunnykins123 !

@curliegirlie I can definitely see lines on those pictures!

@curliegirlie there's defo a line on that bottom test 🤭
@bunnykins123 I thought something was catching my eye 👁 on your test!! X

Any idea when my tests will get lighter? I’m now 7 days post taking the misoprostol for my MMC. I didn’t start properly bleeding until Thursday night but today’s test was still control dark 🤦🏻‍♀️ So fed up with waiting. Thought it would at least be a bit paler by now.

@TheBirdintheCave I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm 3 weeks post D&C, was bleeding until last Friday, and when I did a test then there was still a very faint line. I imagine everyone is different but your body will gradually lower its hormones over the next few weeks. I did feel like I ovulated over the weekend but I don't know if that's possible. I know how you feel, you just want it to be over and to be able to try again. We just need to be patient with our bodies 😘 xx

I’ve just booked an appointment with my GP for in a couple of week time as something isn’t right. This is the third cycle now I’ve had spotting/bleeding mid cycle, I’m so fed up of it now, and I’m struggling to get any indication of ovulation. I don’t care if they say it’s ‘normal’ after MC, I need some help.

@LuckyMoonstone it sounds like you're doing the right thing. I think we know now when something isn't right with our bodies and it's so frustrating to have to fight for it to be checked. I wish you all the best x

@FfayeN thank you, I didn’t have anything like this after I had my son! Was back to normal straight away. Definitely think I need looking at.

Being patient is so damn hard though! I’m
now 28 days post miscarriage and have started to accept that the tests I’ve been doing over the past few days are actually properly negative. It should be a relief, but I just feel upset that some ridiculous miracle hasn’t occurred and I clearly haven’t ovulated/caught immediately post miscarriage. It’s been under one sodding month but I feel I’m reliving the many months of TTC DDs. I just hope AF rocks up by the weekend. I can’t deal with a long silly cycle now.

I totally agree and I too am impatient. I found it overwhelming when I kept bleeding and having pains a week-10 days when I was trying to exercise after my MC. I think at it's important for someone to remind you what your body has been through and that it takes time to get back to some realm of normal. I'm with you though, the thought of TTC again is draining and overwhelming, I just hope we all get there x

I will likely join ttc in a few months time. I’m still pregnant with a mmc at the minute. It stopped at 6w1d and I’m now 9 weeks (I’m sure of the dates regardless of the number of times someone insists I could be earlier). I had a scan with the epau and due to the Easter weekend and a wedding I don’t have the next until 19th. The wait when I know it’s not progressing feels pointless.

@Blue2020 sorry for your lost I also had a MMC I had an operation but wasn’t nice at all knowing the bean is still there 😔 I was happy when I got my period so I could move on

@bunnykins123 @Louisa89614 @MrsRosaline I think we are all very similar in terms of our cycle and what DPO we are, I’m DPO 10, have any of you had any symptoms and what dpo are you? My app says I would be due on this Saturday and I keep feeling wet well paranoid keep rushing to the loo expecting to start my period but nothing yet. Im trying not to test until after the weekend if AF doesn’t arrive, what about you guys are you going to test? As the TWW nears to an end it’s absolute torture!

Hi @Lizm1990 have been off mumsnet to try and make TWW a bit easier but failing yes we’re exactly the same - 10DPO and due on Saturday after a late ovulation. I tested this morning and thought there was a whisper of a line on an IC (looked just like @bunnykins123) but a FRER was negative. I’m going to try and hold out until Saturday now if AF doesn’t arrive as I feel like I’m out now. No real symptoms apart from cramps and back ache but these are normal for me both when I’ve been pregnant and also before AF! I agree the last few days are the worst by far!

Oh sorry @Lizm1990 I thought you were approaching ovulation! I'm CD11 and due to ovulate towards the end of this week 🤞🏻 got a banging headache though and hoping it's not Covid!!

No high OPKS yet 😩 hoping to have one tomorrow morning.
