1DPO... any cycle buddies out there?

[Kewchoc]

I'm currently TTC following a miscarriage at 12 weeks on 5th August. I haven't had a period yet but we decided not to wait, as I'm desperate to be pregnant again and I think that is the only thing that will make me feel better about the loss. I have been tracking ovulation and did catch my peak so now just hoping I've got the timing of DTD right.

Just wondering if anyone out there TTC is around the same time in their cycle so that we can chat to each other really. I think I'm already driving my husband mad, it would be nice to speak to other people who really understand how I'm feeling! 😊

Period is arriving, will be in full flow (no pun intended) tomorrow. I was so hoping to be pregnant again ahead of baby loss awareness week even though I knew it was really unlikely to happen😞

Awwww, sorry to hear that @moosey89. Hope you’re Ok today.

@Kewchoc still early!!

BFN for me at 11 dpo this morning on easy@home. Nevermind, Frers arrive today so will do one of those in the morning.

Still absolutely no symptoms…

Sorry to hear that ladies, hope you’re both doing okay x

Sorry to hear that @moosey89 I hope you're okay ❤️

@Amberellalina where did you get your frer from? I couldn't seem to find any!!

BFN for me again this morning too at 10DPO and more pms symptoms incoming, so I am very confident that this isn't going to be my month 😞

@moosey89 so sorry about AF's arrival 🙁I know what you mean about hoping it still happen no matter how unlikely, and still feels like a gut punch nonetheless 😩

I think I'm out for this month - even though AF hasn't started in full flow (just spotting) my BBT has dropped consistently over the last three days. Also tested this morning with an Easy@home test and got a BFN. Just have to wait for AF to fully arrive now and move on to the next cycle.

Best of luck to anyone still waiting on BFPs! 🤞🏼

Uh oh… spotting started here, probably the witch arriving but annoying that I can’t be sure and so indulge in a massive wine this afternoon😫

Frers en-route from Amazon - I have noticed it’s a bit hit and miss when they have them but they’re still currently in stock (just checked).

Oh fab I may order some frer's then.

Although this happened about an hour ago, but it was after about 10 mins of doing the test. I then did two more tests afterwards which were completely negative so now I'm very confused!! The first test was after a long hold but the next two were about 20 mins later and I had to really force the wee out ha. I'm so confused and don't want to get my hopes up if it's just an evap line

That looks positive to me from the picture. I have got EVERYTHING crossed that this progresses @Kewchoc x

@Agathapoirot thanks!! I think it looks positive too but then I've also had three negatives today and have read that these tests can have bad evap lines, so I don't want to get my hopes up yet.

I will no doubt end up doing another test tonight ha and again tomorrow morning...

Now had four negatives... think it was just a really bad evap line 😞

If you’re still only 11/12 DPO it could well be that your HSG isn’t detectable without an overnight hold! Sending good vibes your way that you get good news when you can test again in the morning x

Fingers crossed for a positive update with FMU 🤞🏼

Oh my, that looks very promising to me @Kewchoc!! excited to check updates tomorrow…

AF ended up arriving in full flow here this afternoon, so obviously I went out and got drunk. Still feeling v positive for next round… fingers crossed for ovulation at my ‘usual’ time so I don’t have to wait too long and more BFPs on here before then..!

Sorry to hear that @Amberellalina, but good that you’re feeling so positive for the next cycle! The drinks will have been well deserved, a nice little change of pace before heading into it all again x

To be fair I did think I was out this month in advance because of the weird bleeding I had in between period and ovulation. That, coupled with another short luteal phase suggests my hormones are still settling after the mc. BUT! I know I definitely ovulated AND I didn’t have the unusual heavy spotting before AF kicked in this time so progress is clearly being made..!

Anyone got any more supplement suggestions I could try this round? I’m already on Pregnacare, prenatal probiotics and vitb6. Gonna order some CoQ10 as well because the IVF clinic recommended it for egg quality.

Hope you all have better luck this month x

Well... definitely not positive as my period started this morning. Ironically, it literally started while I was sat on the loo waiting for this mornings pregnancy test to develop 😞

Balls. Absolutely gutted for you @Kewchoc x

Cornwall can just eff right off can’t it?

@Amberellalina Thanks. I just can't believe how clear the second line was on a test that's actually negative, it even had some pink to it. Thankfully I was feeling pretty cautious anyway due to the other negative tests but I did have a little moment of feeling happy and emotional that I'd be finding out I was pregnant again at the same place the last baby stopped growing. I think it kinda made it feel like it was the same baby coming back... which I'm aware sounds completely delusional but TTC makes me think crazy things! We're leaving Cornwall today but won't actually get home til tomorrow afternoon as it's a 6.5 hour drive for us so we're stopping off overnight. I just wanna get home and snuggle on the sofa feeling sorry for myself!

It’s actually just cruel that that can even happen. I know they say not to read a pregnancy test after the set time but you’re obviously going to aren’t you when you’re desperate for a bfp. Hope you’ve booked somewhere nice for your mid way stop over and you can get some nice cuddles from DS today.

I must admit that having DD already has been incredibly comforting throughout this whole process - I have so much respect for those of you who are going through it ttc #1.

How are you getting on @Crazydogladie?

@Amberellalina I agree, and I thought that leaving it 10 mins was pretty standard! Unfortunately we're staying in a really crap travelodge haha but to be honest I'm so tired that I don't think it will make the slightest bit of difference. I get horrendous insomnia before my period, so at least one positive of it appearing is that I might actually sleep tonight! Have you had a nice weekend?

I second what you've said there, I feel very grateful to have ds and a sleepy snuggle with him does often help me get a bit of perspective and think of how lucky I am to have him

To add insult to injury, it looks like my ovarian reserve aka how many eggs I have left is also on the low side for my age. Will this saga ever actually work out for me?? Now feels like time really is against me and I'll be lucky to even have one child...😔

Oh no @moosey89! Sorry to hear that… What was that based on? My GP thought my reserves might be low based on my FSH numbers, but apparently that can be quite variable and my AMH and antral follicle count (which are more accurate) were fine. You should qualify for free IVF if you need it, but fingers crossed you get your BFP soon and you don’t 😊

@Amberellalina it was AMH blood test. I've got a scan Wednesday but I don't know what it's for exactly, I hope it includes the follicle count so I can get a full picture. I'm so scared of needing IVF. I've never been sure if I could cope with it and even if I do go ahead, I only get one round where I live 😞 I'm losing hope.
