@Brokenpancreas94 i think that looks positive! Darker than I’ve ever had anyway🤣

SMG1992 · 27/02/2023 18:33

@Brokenpancreas94 that looks pretty much as dark as the control line to me!

Brokenpancreas94 · 27/02/2023 23:20

@ChloeN @SMG1992 brilliant thank you! I thought so! Fingers crossed for this month then, although not holding my breathe! Xx

SMG1992 · 28/02/2023 06:53

@Brokenpancreas94 good luck 🍀 x

tulipsunday · 28/02/2023 06:57

@Bubblesandballoons I know it is pointless isn't it trying to distinguish being the symptoms. That's good you have got the blood form - what are you having tested?

@Brokenpancreas94 good luck!

@TrulyMiss sorry you are having to go through that hormonal rollercoaster ❤️

Going to try holding off testing till tomorrow.. will see how that goes 😂

Bubblesandballoons · 28/02/2023 07:16

@tulipsunday i’m having tests as had 4 miscarriages since my ds and they messed up the sticky blood test when they did my bloods in November, so been waiting for them to send a new form to get it done again. Been waiting since the middle of Jan, it took for me to ring them for them to realise it hadn’t been done for some reason 🤦🏼‍♀️. They won’t do anything else until I have this test so it’s been very frustrating having to keep chasing it up. Fingers crossed for tomorrow 🤞🏻. I can feel af on her way so just going to hold out till the weekend and wait for her arrival.

@Bubblesandballoons that's so frustrating glad though that things are hopefully moving forwards for you. My miscarriages have also been following having my son. Hard to know at this stage if it just bad luck or something else. I just want to focus at the moment on trying to regulate my cycles as my recent pregnancy was conceived early in the cycle and I just wonder if that had an impact.

MrsJGrealish · 28/02/2023 16:59

@Bubblesandballoons I haven't spoken to you in ages lovely, 🤞for this cycle and like you symptom spotting gets me disappointed fast. I think I'm just hyperaware of anything different. Hope these blood results come back soon ❤️

bringmearainbow · 01/03/2023 10:06

I'm def out this cycle 🙄 peak yesterday O pains today and we last dtd on Thursday so 5 days are up. Dh is not allowed on anymore holidays 😂 I'm gutted but nothing to be done just have to keep everything crossed for next cycle

tulipsunday · 01/03/2023 13:26

That's so frustrating @bringmearainbow that has happened to me before. Getting negatives on FRERs so just waiting for the likely inevitable 🥲

bringmearainbow · 01/03/2023 13:32

@tulipsunday ahhh that's rubbish lovely what dpo are you?

tulipsunday · 01/03/2023 13:45

Don't even know 😞 only got a long series of flashing faces on the clear blue opks but no peak so not sure if I ovulated this cycle. Due period later this week so not feeling v hopeful

buckingmad · 01/03/2023 15:26

Bleeding is over. I haven’t decided how I feel yet about trying this month but I’m testing on OPK’s just so I know what my cycle is doing post miscarriage.

What did you guys do? Try again straight away or take a little time off?

bringmearainbow · 01/03/2023 15:38

@tulipsunday ahhh yes I remember now. Well there's still some time 🤞🏼

@buckingmad I tried again straight away both times but I think just go with how you feel at the time

TrulyMiss · 01/03/2023 20:32

So I'm out and I haven't even ovulated yet 🙈 I'm on fertility drugs and my scan showed two eggs ready to go. Don't want to risk twins (or triplets if one splits, know someone this happened to) so I've done the drugs and felt like shit for 2 weeks for nothing. Defo thinking we're going to take a break now for a while for my mental health. Best of luck to you all on your journey and I hope it's less twisty and turny than mine!!! xx

tulipsunday · 01/03/2023 21:47

@TrulyMiss all the best to you. Preserving mental health is so important ❤️

Bubblesandballoons · 02/03/2023 07:47

@TrulyMiss so sorry, look after yourself 💛.
@MrsJGrealish hey how are you getting on? I can’t get them done till Monday, but decided will chase them up after 2 weeks and weekly after that 😂. This month is a year since my referral after my first 3 and I’m no further along 😩. Just waiting on my period now. Had a negative test yesterday at 11dpo so expect af to come today or tomorrow as normal.
@buckingmad i tried straight away every time

MrsJGrealish · 02/03/2023 08:00

@Bubblesandballoons yea I'm ok. Just coming into TWW. But you know when you know it's not your cycle? but we'll see. That year wait is not on, I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for a clotting test 🥲 APS isn't a joke, pregnant or not. This is my last ttc cycle though I think my eggs are duds. Poor little guys. Xx

Bubblesandballoons · 02/03/2023 13:30

@MrsJGrealish is it bad I hope I have it now, as otherwise they’ve held of doing anything else for the last 6 months for nothing 😂. Ahh noo, fingers crossed this is the one for you 🤞🏻I remember you said a while ago you set yourself a timeline, you not tempted to try a few more cycles? Dp had his sperm results back and he’s all good, so I think my eggs are duds too xx

MrsJGrealish · 02/03/2023 14:08

@Bubblesandballoons I'm not at all tempted. Honestly feel like it's been a long 2 years 😩 of chemicals, miscarriages and covid. Nooo you don't want it😂 but I see your point.. good to have a reason xx

Cheetocat · 03/03/2023 01:08

Hi all, I'm in my 9th cycle since my loss with proper trying during about 6 of those cycles. It drives me crazy that there was no trying involved the first time and we had just started thinking seriously about having a baby and I fell after only DTD once in my fertile window. Ovulation tests are driving me crazy, I don't peak most of the time. I peaked this month and before that my only previous peak was in July. My fiancé is getting really stressed and it's giving him performance anxiety on the days we are supposed to try too so it's an ordeal before we successfully DTD each time too. I am 3DPO now, just hoping this month is it.

tulipsunday · 03/03/2023 06:49

@Cheetocat I have the same with my husband. Decided next cycle that I am not going to have any chat with him about opks etc as puts pressure on/kills the mood. My husband does have a v physical job though which makes it hard as sometimes he is just understandably shattered.

SMG1992 · 03/03/2023 07:51

@Cheetocat im in a similar boat although not so many cycles in
im on cd 16 with no peak yet and day 6 of flashing smileys! Been dtd since cd 8 just in case! I really hope i ovulate this month. I’ve not had an issue with that before so I’m just hoping my cycles are going back to being a bit longer as pre mc they were atleast 35 days but my last one was bang on 28!

DTD around ovulation does become a bit clinical, I’m hoping as it’s the weekend now it will feel a bit more relaxed.

Joonbug23 · 03/03/2023 11:07

Hi everyone
so nice to read all your messages - helps so much not to feel lonely and isolated when ttc after a loss.
I had a mmc in November followed by a D&C in December for my pregnancy. Was a really tough process finding out at my 12 week scan that the baby had no heartbeat.

we are currently in our first month ttc (it took 8 weeks for my period to return after mc and I wanted some certainty of dates). Ovulation day today for me so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

SMG1992 · 03/03/2023 11:18

Hi @Joonbug23, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Good luck with your ovulation, I've got my fingers crossed for you!
