TTC after Miscarriage Thread 8

[mummyofrb]

Just starting this as last thread nearly full💕🌈

@bunnykins123 thank-you, I did wonder about that 2nd surge. We’ve been DTD regularly throughout the whole cycle, would’ve just been good to know when I ovulated. Will keep trying. My temp has still been pretty low too hmm. These tests have definitely done more harm than good this cycle! If my period hasn’t started in 2 weeks I’ll do a test and hope for the best. Thanks for the advice.

Good luck for the next few days/ week you three! Pretty sure we were all cycle buddies a few cycles ago, but I then had a short one. Currently CD6! Next weekend/early the following week will be key, then AF due just before my 40th (which I'm not looking forward to - ideally would have had something planned for it, but the household has been full of chicken pox and sickness bugs for the past month so haven't had the chance to organise depressing birthday celebrations!)

@bunnykins123 I did wonder that but that means I had my dodgy positive on day 15 and then another oestrogen surge on day 17. I think I’ve messed up by starting a new pack mid cycle. Think I might just stop the ovulation sticks. It’s so tempting to keep testing things though as I still haven’t had a strong positive on the cheap ones and my temp is still a bit all over at day 20. Just can’t rely on my cycle either as it’s all over the place. Trying to just enjoy my life/ days but all of this just completely takes over. Just had a meeting with someone who was heavily pregnant and I had to stop myself from welling up. Xx

@Totoro1234 I haven't had a major strong positive on my cheapie OPKs either but I did get my static smiley on my clear blue on Monday! I did another cheapie OPK this morning and there is a faint line on there again. It's so confusing as I don't want to miss my window!

Can I join your Club?? 5dpo and trying to hold off but driving myself mad symptom spotting 🤭

@FfayeN thanks for sharing ❤️ you spend so longer praying for the 2 lines now it's like please gooo

@bunnykins123 I'm glad it's not just me with the weird CM Xx

Hi all

hope it’s ok if I join too. I had a mmc in late March and an MVA around then. We’ve been loosely trying again since but mostly recovering emotionally from it as I was hit pretty hard. Trying for our first. I used OPK’s last month but never got a static smiley so not sure what’s going on. Not using them this month and just dtd whenever we feel like it and will go by ewcm instead, as really we are moving house next weekend and didn’t want to think about ttc as well.

@Chellooo @TheBirdintheCave @LuckyMoonstone arghhhh!! Cycle buddies. I have a million cheapies stashed away in a drawer...trying not to symptom spot..😑..been for some acupuncture to help encourage implantation..here's hoping fingers 🤞🏻 xx

@curliegirlie thank you!! Hope next week goes well..lots of DTD for you 😆. Sorry to hear about the sickness/chicken pox. There's sooo much of it around at the mo. We were all wiped out with it last week. And the big 40...eek! Mines fast approaching..hope u sort something lovely xx

@Annapolis35 so sorry for your loss and welcome 🤗 xx

So yesterday I felt sick all day and felt hungover. Today I had that foggy hungover feeling again, nausea (barely ate all day) and cramps in the evening like period cramps. My boobs/nipples hurt on and off. I’m 8dpo. If I’m not pregnant then my body has some serious explaining to do because this is just mean if not.

Good luck everyone in the TWW 🤞🏼

@Annapolis35 sorry for your loss good luck moving house

I actually had a really good day feeling wise yesterday. Kind of felt normal hopeful and optimistic hopefully it continues though if I don't get a negative test soon I might change my mind 🙈

I think the 2ww is actually the worst part 🫣 I swear that I have more symptoms each cycle but they never amount to much. CD1 here for us (not entirely unexpected for a few reasons) but still the ongoing process of this is just so disheartening. Sometimes I just want to throw the towel in and give up! Bah. Rant over. Happy Saturday all 🫠

@LuckyMoonstone arghhh fingers crossed for you those symptoms are sounding good! 😊 u gonna test today?! X

@bunnykins123 it's shit isn't it...thinking of you. Stay strong - u got this xx

@calimc83 I tested this morning but I don’t think I can see anything. Last pregnancy I was still getting negative on internet cheapies at 12dpo and I’m only 9dpo today. I don’t want to use my early test yet 😆

@LuckyMoonstone hmm if I don't zoom in I kinda think I can see something...but not 💯 xx

@calimc83 yeah I’ve got 3 pics and sometimes I can see a tiny shadow, sometimes I can’t haha. I definitely wouldn’t start thinking I was pregnant based off that test 😅

@LuckyMoonstone I see something too. Hoping it shoes even more tomorrow and that this is your month 🙏🏼.

So I get my biopsy results on the 8th July, predicted ovulation on the 8th aswell...so could be in the running this month if it's negative 🤞🏼. It's tight timing...but somehow so was the last one with my MMC 😂. xx

@LuckyMoonstone hmm, it's a waiting game isn't it! Fingers crossed you can see something more in a few days time. There might be something there that catches the eye but 8dpo is sooo early for an IC!

Don’t know whether to go for my clear blue early tomorrow or wait a couple more days. Scared it’ll be negative, and I’ll drive myself mad for a few more days wondering if I’m just too early. And then I’ll test again when AF is due and if it’s negative then I’ll be sad all over again 😆. Although at 10dpo surely an early detection test would show positive!

@LuckyMoonstone probably should wait a few days but easier said than done 🙈 if it was me I would be like yes I'll wait a couple of days then cave and test with the clear blue then be annoyed with myself for having no will power when it comes to testing 🤦🏼‍♀️ with my first I didn't show positive until 11dpo the second pregnancy was 10dpo

@pangolin84 hope you're ok? How did you get on with the frer?

@LuckyMoonstone I think I can maybe see a shadow. Sooo hard to tell. But yes try hold out.

well back off holiday with a bump and feeling grey. Meh.

CD7 so entering into fertile weak. Usually ovulate CD13 so few days to go before peak time.

hate all this waiting.

@bunnykins123 sorry for CD1. Yes throwing in the towel seems a good idea over her also. But mostly because the hoping an wanting an jealousy of other ppls journeys gets too much. On we plod hey. It’s a hard task to try navigate

@mummatara Today has been a bad one, just feeling really down and even went back to bed at lunchtime to stare into space and cry. I think the trigger was going back to work and some of the stuff that happened on my first day back. Really not good.

The FRER only arrived today so I’ll be testing in the morning. 🤞😬
