🌈 Ttc after miscarriage thread 7 🌈💕🤞✨

[Skl2021]

New thread ladies 🌈✨💕

Totally normal @LuckyMoonstone. I can have a really nice juicy line in the morning and unless I have 3 hour hold / no drinking, my lines are non existent.

@My2boysaremyworld @Indianna2006 I'm so sorry that you're both going through this. I had the same with my 1st pregnancy (mmc at 10.5 weeks). I got really worried that it was lingering and researched online how to speed up HCG leaving my system. I'm sure they said green tea and exercise. Loads of water too.

@Lizm1990 @Louisa89614 good luck testing tomorrow ladies! I'm not going to test this cycle (mainly as another blank will just leave me really, really sad!) but also because I have no symptoms. Do any of you have any remarkable symptoms?!

@bunnykins123 thank you

@bunnykins123 im feeling things but they could just be normal symptoms you get in your cycle, who knows. Lots of twinges stabbing pains pinching in my boobs and mainly left side of lower stomach, basically feels where I had pain post D&C so I’m pretty sure it’s my uterus. I’m getting other things too like my teeth are still sore and I’ve noticed today my veins are more prominent on my boobs but I had a load of symptoms that are similar last month and it was a BFN so guess I’m going to find out tomorrow 🤣

I’m also having lots of cramping, but not like AF cramps, but also I guess likely to be AF cramps…or perhaps all the spicy food I’ve had over the weekend 😂 I’m really pleased with myself for not testing yet this cycle as I’m normally crazy from like 7DPO. I’m thinking about not testing tomorrow morning as will only be 10DPO and wait till Friday instead…hate how crazy this whole process makes me. I’m such a planner and hate being out of control!

Well I tested again tonight with a 3+ hour hold, not much to drink, and barely a line 😖I know the line I showed you all a picture of probably doesn’t seem that dark but that was a pretty dark line for me at this point in my cycle! I’m so confused. Why did it show up? And then disappear?

@Lizm1990 good luck testing today 🤞

@Louisa89614 well done for not testing, I think we are cycle buddies too!

@LuckyMoonstone you'll probably find you have a line again this morning when using FMU. The strips are notoriously frustrating and I think a lot of ladies transition to CB for that reason (I certainly did!!)

@LuckyMoonstone what cycle day are you? I know how frustrating these opks can be as looks like we’re using the same brand. I know that’s why some ladies prefer the clear blue smileys as you just do one in the AM and it’s much clearer result, but also more spenny. Or other ladies on this thread have just gone without opks for a cycle and focussed on regular DTD like every other day between 10-20 depending on length of cycle. Really hope you get your positive soon xx

I’ve been stung by bad indents on these tests since MMC…but this is from FMU 10DPO for me today. It looks pink in real life though whereas my other indents have been much more grey. I strangely don’t feel anything yet and think I won’t until I see it get darker?

No line at all this morning :( I guess I just had a weird fluctuation. I’m CD12 now. I was really hoping to ovulate earlier this month. To be honest any day before CD20 would be wonderful for me 😆I’ve ordered one of those OvuSense things, been thinking about it for a while but now I definitely want one.
I have CB digitals but only a few left so I may just finish them off and then leave them if my OvuSense is coming soon.

@Louisa89614 i have had indents that look like your picture 😕 but if you think it looks more pink in real life then don’t rule it out just yet, you’re still very early

@Louisa89614 eeeee tentative congratulations! It looks like it could be the start of something 🤞🤞

@Louisa89614 deff looks like the start of something. I have also had a few indents. But my positive was also quite faint. Photos couldn’t capture the pink. But if it has any hint of pink. Think it’s the real deal!!

Thanks ladies! I will test again tomorrow and just praying it’s darker. This is why we shouldn’t torture ourselves with early testing!
It’s reminded me how shit it is that we’re all here though. As soon as I saw the second line I pictured my baby, and being heavily pregnant at Xmas, etc. and I think we all do that as soon as we get a positive, so any loss at any stage is always so crushing. Hugs to everyone today.

@Louisa89614 yessss!! Looks like a line!! So happy for you 🥰❤️

@Louisa89614 @bunnykins123 im shaking just done my test kept waking up thinking stay in bed longer and then was so anxious to do the test! I think it’s positive! I’m so happy but I’m going to test again on Friday and Sunday just to make sure the line is getting darker.

@Lizm1990 there is no denying that line!!!! Amazing! Congratulations!

@Louisa89614 thankyou ❤️ I’m going to wake my fella up now 🤣🤣

@Lizm1990 awh congratulations! That's a great line 💕 how are you feeling? Do you have any symptoms?

@bunnykins123 thankyou ❤️ I’m feeling good, main things I was getting and still am are twinges in my boobs / stomach, I started feeling queasy last couple of days, I can see veins now on my boobs, still sore teeth very random and yesterday I thought I feel a bit crappy like I’m coming down with something and I felt like that last time I was pregnant most days, but Im over the moon as I was worried about how long it would take. 🤞 for you this cycle 🥰

@LuckyMoonstone sorry about the negative. I can really recommend ovusense- my cycles are all over the place and it's really helped me make sense for them.
For this cycle, I got a peak on a CB digital, but didn't have a temp rise, so I know that my body tried to ovulate but didn't make it. If I had just used OKPs I would have no idea and would have just been thinking I ovulated.

Can anyone help?? I had mmc and operation to remove in feb. I've had 2 periods since. First month ttc this month but I just feel like I have no ovulation symptoms!! I'm not using ovulation tests just dtd every other day. Has anyone had bfp without ovulation symptoms?? I'm worried I'm not ovulating!

@Lizm1990 yay! That's lovely news! Hope you're OK lovely x

@mummyofrb sorry you're here and you've had to go through that. I can't help I'm afraid - I don't really get ovulation symptoms so I use OPKs but I do know my cycles have been super messed up since and they use to be clockwork. I haven't been ovulating until about CD20/21 since

@mummyofrb I don’t get any obvious ovulation symptoms and wouldn’t be able to guess without using opks. I think the only way to get guaranteed answer is from temping or blood test though xx

When I lost my baby I felt that a piece of me was being ripped apart. That piece will never be in place so I will never be complete. I never loved so much in my life and I've never felt so impotent for not being able to protect what I most loved. I still remember the night I found out she was inside my belly and I feel honoured to have carried her in it. I keep crying and telling her I'm sorry I couldn't make her see the world, smell the flowers and feel the morning sun beams in her face. I would have loved to hold you in my arms and see your smile.

Today I miss her lots lots lots. I don't care how taboo miscarriages can be, I still want to tell the world I carried her in my belly and it was the happiest time of my life.

I will always love her and she will always be my baby.

@Pluckedblueberry that’s beautiful ❤️ I feel the same about my baby. I know I’m a mother to two boys even though only one is here with me.

Thank you 💚
