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! 😊

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves… a hint of a squinter massively outside of the reading time is not a bfp!

Hope something nice happens to you this afternoon @Kewchoc to turn the day around x

Kewchoc · 31/10/2023 12:38

@Amberellalina Maybe not a bfp officially, but certainly not a bfn! 😊 plus you've been craving marshmallows!

So I don't want to jump on the "conceiving in October" train but I've just done another Boots test and there's definitely an absolute squinter of a line that appeared in 4 mins. These tests are 25miu so I'm going to test again with an easy@home when they come (I'll probably do about 3 tests just incase of evap lines etc). I've never used Boots tests before so I don't know whether they're bad for evap lines or not and I don't wanna get my hopes up.

I did however feel incredibly nauseous drinking my coffee at work this morning which is exactly what happened last time, I couldn't even stand the smell of coffee. I'm really trying not to get my hopes up because I feel like every month I see "signs" that I'm pregnant and never actually am, but I've definitely got some symptoms going on

Easy@home both also had very very faint lines but every line is so faint that I think they're possibly just evap lines. Although the Boots one has got darker (past time limit though) and is definitely pink. Not sure what to think now cause if they were positive I'd expect the easy@home ones to be darker than the Boots one. I already know I'll just have to wait and test again tomorrow but what an absolute headfuck 🫠

@Kewchoc aaaaaaaaah that’s so exciting! It all sounds really promising and I really really hope we both get stronger lines tomorrow x

Amberellalina · 31/10/2023 17:45

I might do another easy@home before bed, no point doing one now because I’ve been drinking aaaaaaaall the things today. @Kewchoc you’re a bad influence 😂

Agathapoirot · 31/10/2023 17:54

Ah these updates sound so promising and exciting! Got everything crossed for you all that there are lots of bfps coming through over the next couple of days! ❤️

Kewchoc · 31/10/2023 18:31

@Amberellalina Yeah very exciting and the more I think about the last couple of days, the more convinced I am that I have conceived! Haha just do another, I'll be honest I've done another 2 since my last post just to see if there's lines on those too 🤣 there was lines though! I feel absolutely psychotic hahaha

I am being really dim but I literally cannot find any FRER anywhere on Amazon... does anyone have a link for them?

OP posts:
Liz2681 · 31/10/2023 20:02

So excited for everyone! Great to hear everyone's good news and hoping to join you guys soon 😊

@Kewchoc I was looking for them earlier and couldn't find them either 😕 idk sometimes they go and come back. Have been getting Clearblue early detection instead!

Kewchoc · 31/10/2023 20:03

@Liz2681 I think I might have to get those too. I'm sure dh won't mind me remortgaging the house to buy fancy pregnancy tests... 🤣

OP posts:
Amberellalina · 01/11/2023 05:41

FRER and easy@home - I’m calling it - BFP!

Still a bit faint so I understand if you think I’m mad 😂

But a line is a line!!

Now to the shop to buy the expensive digital ones 😂

Kewchoc · 01/11/2023 07:05

@Amberellalina Eeeee! Yea definitely lines on both of them! Congratulations 🥰 I really am so chuffed for you! Will you be able to get the digital one today? Have you told dh??

I don't think your mad at all! These are my tests from this morning... definitely still a line on both but extremely faint so I'm going to pick up an actual early response as soon as the shops open, didn't realise dh had asked them to order some in!

@Kewchoc yessssss… those are definitely visible lines on two different tests! Congratulations. I’m really excited for you too - I feel like we started this journey together so it’s nice that we (hopefully) get to go into the next stage together too.

Yep, told DH - I didn’t bother telling him about the hint of a squinter yesterday, but these are more convincing I think! He’s excited but cautious, it is still so so early so could still turn out to be a chemical. We’ve agreed to just take it one day at a time and remember that ‘today I am pregnant’ ☺️

I’m going to do my second FRER on Friday, then all being well one of the digital weeks indicator ones on Sunday when AF is due.

Kewchoc · 01/11/2023 08:46

@Amberellalina I was thinking the same thing! Feel like we are the OG's of the group lol so it's amazing we've both conceived at the same time 😊 sounds like you and your dh are treating it exactly the same as we are. It's hard not to start getting too excited though isn't it ha! I must say, I thought a positive test would really set off my anxiety but I'm feeling quite positive about it all! Just picked up my actual early detection tests, going to wait a couple of hours then do one so hopefully I'll get a more clear positive then!

This has made my day! I’m only ever so slightly ahead of you ladies, would be great to join you on going through it together! X

moosey89 · 01/11/2023 09:26

Congratulations ladies! I'm 12dpo today and despite a really high day 21 progesterone results I can feel af coming 😭 at least I know I ovulated this month which is the first time since my miscarriage in July!

emmatcc1 · 01/11/2023 09:31

@Amberellalina @Kewchoc congrats to both of you This must be so exciting!!!

Kewchoc · 01/11/2023 11:56

Thanks everyone 😊 I did this early detection test at about 11 so not FMU and after a few cups of tea! Pretty happy with the line considering how early I'm testing, not even due my period for another few days!

@Agathapoirot Are you going to test soon?

@Crazydogladie You never know, pms symptoms often mirror early pregnancy symptoms don't they... keeping my fingers crossed for you

@Kewchoc I was on this thread a few weeks ago and got my bfp. I’m 6 and a half weeks now. This thread was my safe space when I was struggling after my miscarriage!

Kewchoc · 01/11/2023 12:30

@Agathapoirot Oh of course, I'm so sorry! I knew you were on the thread but I've been struggling to keep track of what's going on with who! How are you feeling? Xx

@Kewchoc , I’m good, very tired and nauseous off/on but nothing major. So pleased to see some more positives in this group, fingers crossed for some more! X
