TTC May 2023 💖✨ previous MC March 2023

[Freddie15VES]

Hi ladies

I thought I’d create this thread if anyone wants to jump on.

I have a little boy who was 2 in April 💖

we decided in March to start trying for baby #2 and we were delighted to get pregnant that same month! Unfortunately we lost the baby at the end of April at 6w 4d

The MC is completed and I have taken an OPK this morning which looks to be really high. Not quite peak but definitely high which is just great that I’m ovulating again! I didn’t know what would happen. We both feel ready to try again this month so will be going for it.

Whether you’re TTC baby #1 #2 #3 etc you’re welcome to jump on ❤️❤️❤️

@Dreamer88 oh that's fantastic!! What great news! 🥳 Ah you must be relieved 😊

Those of you who've not had BFPs yet, where in your cycles are you up to? Anyone in tww and hoping to test soon? I'm right back at CD1 - anyone else similar? X

@HopeAndStrength thanks, it’s exciting but a bit nervy too❤️
@Jadeypie yeah I think that’s making me feel so positive about it all in a funny way🥰

@SnookyPook everything crossed for u all for this cycle🤞🏽🙏🏽
@Freddie15VES that’s a solid line 🎉 maybe those others weren’t the best dye or ur hcg could just be really increasing now. Have u any symptoms so far?

@DmcinT I’m mega tired and feeling rather crampy, but also sick in the mornings/afternoon now and just feel
generally meh. How about you?

@Dreamer88 so happy for you that your levels were normal! Can't believe they can change so much with stress!!

@SnookyPook i ovulated yesterday going by my peak test on Sunday so I'm just starting into the TWW!! Trying to be hopeful this month. It's my 11th cycle and 9th since my chemical x

@Strawb28 ah best of luck lovely!! 🤞🏻

Thanks @SnookyPook for flagging this thread! I'll read back to see others' stories. Will be nice to connect with others who had losses at the same sort of time and now trying or had bfp.

I just got my bfp this morning - only 9dpo but having symptoms so I tested. I lost my previous pregnancy at 8 weeks in March and I have a daughter who is almost 3. This bfp hasn't really sunk in yet, anxiety hasn't quite hit but I'm sure it will.

No worries @Hankthehonk - you will be in good company here 😊

Morning 🌞

Had a little CM with brown/light pink in nothing heavy only when i wipe. Feel a bit heavy in my abdomen so hoping it's not my AF about to arrive 😫 not tested since but tempted to do one this eve and see whether it looks darker or not x No other symptoms other than slightly tingly boobs so still on the fence atm xx

@Freddie15VES I’m quite swollen in my lower tummy come the evening but I think it’s because my uterus was very stretched only a few weeks ago with the triplets so it’s like it’s gone straight back to that. @Westy22 I also have tingly boobs so 🤞🏽

@Hankthehonk huge congrats 🥳 February baby on its way🥰
@Dreamer88 that’s great on ur results, that was a stressful day with bumping the car so at least u know what it was from. Sending love and baby dust for this cycle❤️

@Strawb28 best of luck with the TWW 🤞🏽🙏🏽

Thank you so much @DmcinT and @SnookyPook i feel like I've done everything right this month but I'm losing a little bit of hope as time goes on.

@Strawb28 I know what u mean, I think it’s because so much is out of ur control now from 1-10 dpo whereas over ur FW u feel like it’s all within ur control. The waiting is tough but please god now it’ll be worth it and Ull have ur bfp 🙏🏽❤️

Morning

What a gorgeous day! I have a gang of toddlers play mate date today wish me luck 🤣🙈

I wish this af would hurry up it's frustrating me! the last three periods have been on time and the time I want to try it's no where to be seen I have got pms and niggly cramps on off and sore boobs (if I had tried last month I would be convinced I'm pregnant) hopfully she's round the corner!!

@Westy22 do you mind if I ask did u get a negative after your loss sorry if you've already mentioned it hard to keep up in this thread. It's just if you did then your BFP will highly be likely a new pregnancy. I'm sorry that you are going through this uncertainty. I really understand how you feel and it sucks!

@Strawb28 good look in your ttw wait keep busy and try not to be obsessed with symptoms 🙈 (it's hard I know)

Xx

That makes total sense @DmcinT - that out of control feeling during tww is so hard! I'm kind of enjoying AF week now as all the suspense has gone, nothing I can do right now in this moment so I'm feeling fairly zen. Hubby bought me a bottle of red vino yesterday so had a guilt-free glass yesterday evening. Just regrouping ready for the new cycle!! And then the hope and emotional rollercoaster will begin again!

@DmcinT yes this is exactly it!! I'm just going to try and be as busy as I can and keep my exercising and walking up to help get a healthy body incase I get lucky!!

@Jadeypie thank you so much!! Is there absolutely no chance? Its always the months we think we have no chance that it happens! X

@Strawb28 I highly doubt it like don't get me wrong I know the withdrawal method isn't a great contraceptive but it's worked for us so far and I would be extremely shocked if it hasn't this time time will tell I suppose x

@Jadeypie only takes the one ;P are you going to test or wait it out?

@Strawb28 that is true! I'm just going to wait it out the fact I have pms is making me think af isn't far away and the fact my dp is getting ony nerves which always happens when I'm due af (bless him) makes more more sure om just late 🤣

@Jadeypie ooh you're more patient than I am. I'm good at waiting for AF to test but once she's late, that's it! Haha. How many days late do you think you are? Withdrawal method certainly isn't foolproof.... 🤔

@SnookyPook oh believe I will be like a women obsessed once I start trying 🤣 I'm on day 38 and since my loss av been having a 34 cycle x

It's so lovely to see all the positives appearing in this thread!
I'm doing OK thanks, my general anxiety levels are quite high at the moment - feeling easily triggered by little things. Not sure if that is hormones playing tricks or just nerves because of what happened last time.
Other than that, cramps have continued on and off, a bit of nausea but not too bad. Oh and tiredness has hit!
Just waiting for midwife appointment in a couple of weeks now.

@Jadeypie I'm clearly living vicariously through you now that I'm out for the cycle 😆 buuuut 4 days overdue? Teeeeeeest! 😂 Devil on shoulder I was convinced AF was coming with my BFPs and only tested because she didn't show...

In all seriousness though, good for you waiting it out. Are you planning on giving AF a couple more days to make her appearance?

@SnookyPook hahahha what are you like!! tbf with my pregnancies av always had a good suspicion just havnt this time. I will give it to the end of the week because before my loss it was 34-36 so Al give a few more days if still a no show Friday I will test xx

@HopeAndStrength big hugs to you for your anxiety and worry hormones won't be helping either! But God that tiredness is a killer I don't think anyone forgets that pregnancy symptom hopfully squeeze some naps in whenever u can xx

@Jadeypie its funny because I told my closet pal last night I’m roughly 5 weeks pregnant and she said omg so am I 😂 she’s 7 weeks but she said they’d been ‘pulling out’ so she was so shocked to be pregnant. Wouldn’t it be nice to have just happened like that this time though ❤️

Also just looked at my garmin and I weirdly had a rhr dip back down to 55/56 yesterday and back up to 63/64 today so obviously I’m overthinking that 🙈 maybe I’d be best taking it off but I’m so used to wearing it everyday, it would be weird not to

@Jadeypie yes I got one about 2.5 weeks after miscarriage started, but started questioning if it's a fluke tbh. I think in my head its almost too good to be true that its already happened 😩

I've had a little bit of blood now so obviously that sinking feeling has kicked in that AF is kicking in although it was more brown blood and thin, it's not heavy atm and don't need a pad but was definitely there when I wiped (sorry for the detail ha). I'm not holding out much hope atm tbh x
