TTC after Miscarriage Thread 8

[mummyofrb]

Just starting this as last thread nearly full💕🌈

@mummatara yes we can keep each other updated with our smiley face days 🤣
Oh that's good, you'll have plenty of tests without worrying! Can you track alongside ewcm too?
We weren't able to try last month, my first proper cycle since the last MC as DH was away. So looking forward to actually trying again this month 🙏🏼

I’ve also got the CB tests ready and waiting 🙂 used them for the first time last month, started on CD8 and had 3 days of empty circles then 1 day of flashing smiley then got my solid smiley the next day. Was surprised only 1 day flashing so will be interesting to see what happens this cycle! I will prob end up using the easy@home OPK’s aswell though! Was pretty obsessed with tracking LH last month 😆

@Astar21 I'm so happy to have a cycle buddy 🤩 yes though CM really confuses me sometimes I get a bit is it or isn't it 🤦🏼‍♀️ I track my BBT too not that that will help with when O happens until it's too late 😂

Sending you lots of baby dust 💕

@mummatara me too 😃 fingers crossed for us this month 🤞🏼 I've never tried tracking BBT. Just going to hope for the best again with the CB sticks and checking CM 🙏🏼

@emhope they're good aren't they! It's funny how everyone seems to have different patterns with the low/high/peak days. But it's nice to finally see that peak smiley!

Sending you both baby dust ✨

AF finally arrived for me, wahoo! Feel like I can move on from my last MC and start again looking forward. I stopped testing to check if I was negative again on HPT so I think that has helped my mindset too. I'm going to just assume I'm back to negative now AF is here... My FW looks highly likely to fall when we're away on holiday too 🙌🤞

@Margo34 ah that's excellent and great timing for FW 🙊 what CD are you?

I went for another blood test today hcg level is at 21, was 24 weds so they want to scan me next week. I'm still treating this cycle as normal since AF arrived could just be wishful thinking but I don't care 🤞🏼 I actually ovulate or I might have a mini tantrum 🤣

@mummatara it is coming down slowly 🤞🏼 I reckon you will ovulate with those level. You can ovulate with it fairly low anyway.
i got a squinter on a test in a cheap IC but ovulated that day my cycle after MC. So ther was deff still over 20mui in my system when it chose to do it. So I’m sure it will be fine.

who is in the tww with me? I am finding this tww the hardest since the mc as it’s technically the 3rd one. Altho only properly cycle 2. It’s just going sooo slow. An all I keep doing is crying atm. Which usually only happen before AF is do.

7dpo…and dragging! Got a week to go until AF will show. No early testing for me!

@Indianna2006 I'm 11dpo. Did a clear blue yesterday with a v faint line, had a tiny bit of brown spotting this morning so I'm really trying to hold off testing again to Monday. It's so hard!

@Indianna2006 also feeling really weird. Have just woken up from a nap. And boobs are on fire. Hoping the spotting stays away 🙏

@MrsGrealish 🤞🏼🤞🏼 It’s a nightmare refraining from testing isn’t it! Fingers crossed you manage to hold off and get a clearer answer

@Indianna2006 it's all I can think about but literally cannot be dealing with faint lines atm 😭 I ordered some from Amazon this morning then cancelled it straight away. Do not need temptation!

Good luck this week 🤞we can do it Xx

@Indianna2006 I'm 7DPO too. Away this weekend which will hopefully be a distraction!

@MrsGrealish good idea. Exactly like you said. We don’t need temptation. And faint lines can fuck off tbh 😂😂
ugh we can do it come on. I know I’m gonna be down in dumps with BFN and I’m already pre-empting it!

@Cegbee longest bloody week ever. We go away like 12dpo so I’m gonna just try wait until then I think at least.

@Indianna2006 I always give in at 12DPO so that's currently my target and if I can hold out longer it's a bonus!

@Cegbee @Indianna2006 good luck ladies 🤞🤞❤️

Hubby has just come home with the digital version of clear blue..scary yes or no so I'll hold off a while yet 😂

@Indianna2006 thanks lovely good to know. Sorry your feeling rubbish it's hard how the hormones get you at times

@MrsGrealish @Cegbee

Good luck to you all were here if you need any support ❤️ you got this holding off testing 💪🏼💪🏼

Thank you @MrsGrealish, good luck to you too! And thanks @mummatara

It's such a lonely time, I find it hard to even talk to my DH about my TTC anxiety, he just won't understand. I just feel like no one really does other than you ladies on MN!

@Cegbee no I think they rarely do. I tried to talk to him the other day about if he feels anxious that a MC might happen again and he looked at me like it was a mad question he had no worries at all. A lovely feeling to have but I doubt any woman that had gone through it will ever say the anxiety isn't there.

Turns out we're not away this weekend after-all, toddler has just had diarrhoea and spiked a temp just before we got in the car and we would have already left but we had a random leak in our house this morning and needed emergency plumbers. It doesn't rain it pours!

I failed. 10dpo and negative. Thought I was 11dpo until I checked the app. Idiot. No testing tomorrow as a punishment 😞

@MrsGrealish having tests in the house make it impossible to resist, so don't be too hard on yourself! You still have plenty of time 🤞🏻

@MrsGrealish oh nooo! It's still early! The digital version is not as sensitive as FRER so you defo stand a chance with being 10dpo 🤞

@Indianna2006 I didn't try the 'contraption' again, I may try again next cycle but I struggled so much - fiddly little things, aren't they 😂 how are you doing? Where are you in your cycle?

@curliegirlie @LuckyMoonstone how are you both getting on? 💕

@mummatara your most recent blood test is following the exact trajectory as me. They thought mine could be a new pregnancy too. Just to reassure you 💕

@bunnykins123 I’m feeling a bit better now, thank you for asking. Opks are starting to get darker so hopefully ovulation will be in a few days. Which means it’s time to start DTD! Luckily I’m feeling brighter and less depressed, otherwise I would absolutely not be in the mood haha
