TTC after Miscarriage Thread 8

[mummyofrb]

Just starting this as last thread nearly full💕🌈

Congratulations @HoneyPea ! :D

@bunnykins123 I’ll let you know! Just been to the loo so will test about half 7/8

@bunnykins123 yep I took one 3 hours ago and am back in bed so not helping with energy levels or possibly they are revitalising the covid. Ugh 😩

@theblueflowers omg!!!! That's such a nightmare..any sign of them yet?? @HoneyPea huge congrats 🥳 how u feeling? Xx

@mummatara oh yay. Good to know it’s all clear and got a negative. Onwards and upwards hey!

@HoneyPea congratulations!!! Amazing

@LuckyMoonstone pants 😩 maybe only a few days to wait. Don’t be disheartened yet. Sure your ovulation will be soon. So shit waiting tho. All we do is wait right.

12dpo today. I’ve had the longest day. Don’t think I dare test. AF due Friday. Or possibly tomo but usually Friday. Usually I test on 12dpo. But not sure I can bare a BFN 😩😩

Thanks everyone. Very shell shocked as we only decided we were ready to try again a few weeks ago. @Indianna2006 feeling nervous and nauseous @MrsGrealish i think it's going to be terrifying to be honest 😳

@Indianna2006 yes I hate waiting and I hate trying to time DTD! Don’t want to do it too much too early and then be fed up. But don’t want to not do it enough! Feel like I can’t just do it when I actually want to do it.

The OPK I just did was so light I haven’t even bothered taking a picture of it for my app 😤

@Indianna2006 ohh exciting! 12DPO 😬 maybe try hold on till tomorrow if u can? Everything crossed for u x

@LuckyMoonstone I'm sorry hun 😞 if it's any consolation I'm having a shit month too

@MrsGrealish it sucks, but I suppose I’ve got to ovulate eventually 🤷‍♀️ Will just keep testing. I shouldn’t have got my hopes up that id ovulate on the exact same day as last month. It could happen in a few days for all I know.

I'm 5 days late. I don't want to get excited. Been 2/3 days late the last cycle or 3.
DH is away in a remote international location for another 10 days.
When would you test?

@DrinkingAllTheGin I would have definitely tested by now!

I have a BBQ to go to on Saturday so if no AF by then I will.
It's the not telling anyone that I'm going to struggle with.
It's not fair on DH to text him when he is away with no chance of coming home early and responsible for teens in an exotic location for another 10 days!

@mummatara Great news finally! So weird to celebrate a negative but hopefully it closes off that horrible chapter.

@HoneyPea Congratulations! It’s so heartening to see some BFPs happening in this group.

Thanks for all the CB OPK advice. Must stop looking at the sticks… can’t help myself as I’m a scientist and a control freak so I want to know what’s going on and understand everything. Should know by now that TTC removes all logic and reasoning. Just got to keep DTD and POAS on repeat and hope for the best.
3rd day of “high” on the CB OPK and DH has gone out with work mates tonight and won’t be good for anything by the time he gets home. Feels like a hopeless month anyway with the heat wave and picking up DS’s cold.

For the past two days I've had a slight ache in the left ovary area and had a slight tinge of blood while wiping and now a string of blood has come out. I'm really confused. I'm on CD 13, never had anything like this before. This is my second cycle after MMC. Idk if we should still dtd tonight.

@Cheetocat this happened to me after my peak. Literally never before. I'm on 2nd AF after miscarriage now and it's very strange. I didn't DTD when that happened to me I was too freaked out 😳

That's really interesting, I have a long cycle, 34 days, so I wouldn't expect a peak this early. I just did an ovulation test and a pregnancy test just in case. Pregnancy test is negative, of course and LH is at 0.08, up from 0.02 this morning. Nowhere near a peak, so weird! I think we are gonna dtd anyway as I only dtd once in the whole month on cd14 when I somehow conceived the last time with the MMC pregnancy.

@pangolin84 I had 10 days of high on CB digitalis this cycle. I also was interested in looking at the sticks, even though I have heard that they are nothing like looking at the cheapie ones. However, the day I got static smiley, the test line was very obviously darker than the control. The day before it was the same as the control, and before that it was so light, I was surprised it was even picking up as high- it was like this for a week. To be honest I have no idea about how these ones work, and don't quite get how it works out the two hormones, but I did see a difference in the lines.

Finally got bags back and could temp last night. My temp is up so I'm hoping this means that I have ovulated. New one though- I am very lightly spotting today. I have never ever noticed this before. Has anyone had spotting around ovulation? Something else to worry about!

@theblueflowers wooo for getting bag back! Think spotting around ovulation can be really normal.

@LuckyMoonstone keep testing I’m sure it will happen

@MrsGrealish hope you’re picking yourself back up. I know how hard it is too tho.

i need to test this morning. But I’m putting it off..😩

staying at spa hotel later so don’t wanna be doing jacuzzi etc if I shouldn’t. So I need to test today really with FMU to make sure.

meh why is ttc such a head fuck. I don’t want to look at a negative bloody test

@theblueflowers I have two or three times before (over the 3 years I’ve been off birth control so it’s not common for me, but it also has no correlation between months I’ve spotted and months I’ve got pregnant!). Maybe sometimes I just ovulate extra hard haha

Nope. BFN.

then wiped period straight after so waste of a test ffs.

think I’m done with this. Just don’t think I can do 😭

What I also don’t get it. Checked the FRER first and could see the indent light grey. Before even did the test. Yet this test is stark white after doing it like others.

makes me wonder about the indents. As last month had a well obvious indent. But yet this one I could see the grey before I took it but it’s stark white and nowhere near a sign of same line as last month.

@Indianna2006 so sorry 😞 lovely. Do u think last month could of been a chemical maybe? X

Morning ladies, I'm starting this morning on a bit of a low, and I know I'm overthinking but am honestly sitting here in tears feeling like absolute shit.
I got my static smiley yest so tried to dtd yest morning but after a good half hour, my husband couldn't 'finish', it knocked me a bit qnd I questioned myself but shook it off, and thought we'd try again but had a very loud ticking timeclock in my head.

Got up again this morning and again, nothing, gave it a good go, tried all the usual tricks and still nothing. Ended up giving up and got ready for work in tears. So now I've missed the opportunity to conceive and am feeling like absolute shit that I can't even make him 'happy' ...

I don't even kno why I'm posting this, probably needing a vent/hand hold, but just feeling absolutely awful
