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 ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve booked a doctors appointment for next week. I think I need medical advice/support. I’ve just kept putting it off but it’s time for some advice. Very nervous now. Sending lots of love to all who are struggling. X

@Dreamer88 well done, it’s such an easy thing to put off but you’ll feel such relief just talking it through with them❤️🤞🏽 Everything crossed for you.

@Freddie15VES @Misspotterscat @SnookyPook how is everyone else getting through the days?

I’ve had such a strange few days, I was sure AF was coming on Friday, I had really bad cramps in the morning and sore lower back with a lot of bloating but nothing has appeared.

I’d be roughly 10/11 dpo (if I did ovulate)
I did a test today just to see but I think it’s bfn (pic below) any thoughts?

Morning @DmcinT. I’m ok thank you, up and down days and this is the hardest tww yet. I tested yesterday and had a negative, was very crampy last night so tested this morning too. I’m only 9dpo but there’s a definite shadow of a line. Just not sure it shows in photos. Husband can see it too and he’s usually useless at that. Now I’ve uploaded it it looks completely negative. But definitely a shadow irl.
Im not sure I can see anything on yours but don’t give up hope just yet.

This is a slightly better photo. I know I’m clutching at straws 😂

@Misspotterscat i feel like the longer I look at urs I think I can see something but I don’t know do I just have line eyes at this stage🙈

Ive also had sore boobs from Thursday and a bit of clear stretchy CM Fri and yesterday. All of which could point to af or pg it’ll be interesting to see how the next few days go for us all

@DmcinT I’ve had similar symptoms to you.

Keeping everything crossed for you x

@Misspotterscat same for u 🤞🏽🤞🏽 It would be so nice to have some positive news on our wee support thread❤️

let’s hope the next 2-3 days fly in 😂

@DmcinT Thanks. Fingers crossed that this is your month! The symptoms drive you crazy.

I’ve got the husband messaging me from work saying that he’s bought at a home insemination kit- he’s losing the plot! Think the pressure of having to perform is getting to him.

@DmcinT im not testing at all now, it’s stressing me out not knowing where I’m at in my cycle. Other half is working nights now so even if I was ovulating there’d be no chance of getting it on 😂 I’m waiting for AF and then will get properly into it next month. Hoping for some BFPs for you ladies!!

@Dreamer88 OH was saying same when we were trying back in nov/Dec/Jan before we got preg that time, sometimes he’d find it hard to finish (sorry tmi😅) he’d say he was just overthinking it.

@Freddie15VES fair play for not letting urself get caught up in it, I wish I could relax and just let whatever happen happen 🙈 I’ve deff an obsession with testing at this stage (not that it leaves me any the wiser on what’s happening)

off to the beach for the day now to try distract myself 😅

@DmcinT I think I just know that I’m defo not pregnant so I do wanna wait a month before I track/go hard on testing 😂 have a bit of a break! Hahaha

Thanks for checking in... I had AF pains all last week but nothing to show for it. Hoping it means things are revving back into action though. It's now a month since the miscarriage... Can't quite believe it. Haven't attempted to track ovulation or anything yet so not quite sure what's going on but hoping I'll have a period soon and can get back to trying again.

Was at a baby shower this afternoon...! Coped ok. It was for a lovely friend so focused on her happiness. There were a couple of tough moments but mostly ok. A friend gave me a lift there and back and looked after me well.

Have had a few down moments this weekend. Would have been my 16wk appointment... The milestones hit harder.

Hope everyone else is ok 💕

P.S. feel I can maybe see very faint lines on those tests but really don't know..! Hope it's good news for you guys over the next few days xx

@DmcinT just looked through the thread again and I think my lighting is different because I now feel I can see something on yours! Will you test again tomorrow? I’d like to be strong enough not to but I know I will.

Well ladies - a weird celebration but my period has arrived! Exactly 4 weeks from when I started bleeding with my MC. Happy things have gone back to normal this soon and roll on the tracking!!

@Freddie15VES as hard as it can be yeah I think there’s something comforting in knowing where your body’s at with everything. So u would have ovulated 10-14 days ago then, that’s also good to know also.

im still in limbo, I did another test this morn (pic below) and I can’t tell if it’s any different to yesterdays tbh (I’d be maybe 11/12 days dpo now) I’m in for those bloods tomorr so at least that will tell me what’s happening

@SnookyPook hope your doing ok, a baby shower is a tough thing to attend at the moment so I hope ur doing something nice for yourself after that❤️

There is definitely a second line on these! I tested again this morning and just had a v faint line again, but I am only 10dpo today

@Freddie15VES its the reassurance of knowing what’s happening with your body isn’t it.

@DmcinT i see it!!!!

I’m too afraid to let myself get anyway excited incase somehow it’s left over hcg (but I’ve had negatives for abt a week & half now) tomorrow will tell me for sure but the wait is killing me. I’m 6 weeks out from d&c now also

@Misspotterscat a faint line is promising again today 🤞🏽🤞🏽

@DmcinT this is mine today. I’m scared that it’s left over Hcg even though I’ve had negatives and these are getting a bit darker.

just To add it’s pink irl

I see the line!

I see it too

@Misspotterscat I absolutely see urs and it’s a deff line 🥰❤️ But I know I’m the exact same, it’s very hard to let urself feel any excitement. I’m convinced mine will be left over hcg

i still have sore, heavy feeling boobs and pain in lower back, do u have any symptoms still?

Well I had a bit of blood when I wiped just now so I’d say it’s finally AF arriving.. meaning I would have ovulated that time 12 days ago I reckon but didn’t catch it unfort.

such a rollercoaster being back to CD1 after 4 months+ of no periods but as u have said @Freddie15VES it’s good to know where ur body is and all we can do now is prep for 2 weeks time. ❤️
