@Ella31 that sounds just wonderful!

@Chellooo I've had 8/9 days of flashing smileys before, our plan is always every other day from the end of my period until the static when it's the day of and then after. Everyday from the flashing is just too much if it goes on a bit 🙈

@TheBirdintheCave I know what you mean, if I'd not lost my first last year there would have been a 2 year gap, the second a 2.5 year gap and if this one is born then there will be a 3 year gap. Not too much longer and the gap is just too large for me to have another one. Makes me really sad.

I'm 5+6 today and started bleeding overnight, not much and just brown sludge but but I'm so scared to be here again. I've had bleeding in 2 of my 4 pregnancies and neither ended in miscarriage at that point - one is the 2 year old trying to climb on my head, the other was a loss later at 16 weeks so I know it's not necessarily the end. But why can't I just have a smooth stress free pregnancy. GAU have said I can go in for an examination if I want but they aren't worried and have booked me in for a scan on Thursday. Thursday! So I've booked a private scan for tonight, not sure it's the best idea because I don't think they'll really be able to tell me much at this point, but I guess at least I'll know if it's ectopic or something I guess. Cramping is now getting me down, but it's aching rather than sharp pains like an ectopic would be

Hi all what ovulation tests do you use? I've only ever used strip tests or gone by My app which I don't always think is correct.

Do you tell your oh's when ovulating? I feel like we are not dtd enough to even get caught again. It was hard work last time dtd all the time & it took 7 months of trying too.

I use femometer, found them very accurate

Is that an app or ovulation test? @Ella31

@MrsC2018 Yeah I'm the same worrying about age gaps :/ We would have had the same gaps as you had either of my MMCs worked out and are looking at a three year gap this month. I have a year left before the gap gets too big and we have to stop. That's why we're doing IVF from the start of the next cycle. Just out of time now.

MrsC2018 · 12/02/2023 20:16

@TheBirdintheCave it's sad thinking about drawing a line under everything isn't it. So sorry you're facing IVF. My 2 year old was the result of 3 rounds and 5 transfers so any questions I know a fair bit about the process!

Not good news for me unfortunately, sac has managed to implant on my caesarean scar so it's an ectopic caesarean scar pregnancy and isn't viable. I've been referred back to my GAU for a scan in the morning and then surgery to terminate. I'm sad, but grateful I'm only 6 weeks and haven't invested more time into this pregnancy I guess. Just got to decide whether to try 1 last time now before I have the implant put back in and draw a line under my childbearing years and put this whole sorry mess behind me 😢

Hi All, just joining this thread.
Has anyone seen a difference in cycle length following a miscarriage? My previous cycles were always 28-30 days but since MC 1st November all cycles have been 25-26 days. I'm worried the cycle isn't long enough to conceive.

I'm a 25 day cycler and conceived first month after stopping the pill after 12 year. I miscarried 25th December, period came back 19th Jan and I'm pregnant again.
25 days is fine - I feel your pain because I worried when I realised I was a 25 day too but it's totally normal and doable x

LMM91x · 13/02/2023 08:12

14dpo & look at this beauty 🥹😭 can’t believe it, exactly 29 days since my heavy bleed for MC… thankfully my cycle appears to have gone straight back to normal and ovulated etc. 🤞 for a sticky sticky bean. Mixed emotions right now - absolutely petrified😔. Don’t have any symptoms other than some cramps ….

@LMM91x omg 🙊 that's awesome lovely what a line! Xxx

SMG1992 · 13/02/2023 12:17

@LMM91x huge congratulations- there is no doubting that line!

Silly question- does that make you 4 weeks? X

Bubblemachiene · 13/02/2023 12:36

Congratulations @LMM91x when was Yr af due? That's a lovely strong line

LMM91x · 13/02/2023 12:42

Thank you thank you thank you !!

@SMG1992 & @Bubblemachiene I assume so - I’m 14 dpo (from tests I don’t track bbt so can’t be sure I definately ovulated then but I have at some point).

my premom when I put in 15/1 as my LMP (when I passed tissue MC) has me at 4+2 which feels crazy…. i’m not really sure what I do now…. Going to leave it a couple of weeks and then just self refer I guess if all still ‘progressing’ …. Not sure if i’ll get a dating scan as no last period….god it doesn’t even feel like it’s real to be honest and i’m gonna stay in this state of disbelief as long as I possibly can… or at least until I get a bloody symptom! 💕💕
