Cd1 of ttc first cycle after loss... anyone want to join me? 🙂

[Ladyinpink1]

Hi 🙋‍♀️, just as the title says, I am now on cd1 of my first cycle after a loss at 11+4 (stopped growing just after a scan showing strong heartbeat at 8 -9w)

Feeling nervous but positive about a new cycle ...but finding it hard to think of anything else other than ttc 🙂

Happy for some company to obsess with over these next weeks x

@CluelessInLondon so pleased you're feeling a bit better and such a good idea to have something to look forward to. I'm doing the same whilst in the TWW - trying to focus on Christmas and not the potential test date x

@CluelessInLondon it does tend to peak quite quickly and then stay there for a day or so. I'm just a bit surprised as it's a few days earlier than normal. The strip test is darker but not quite positive yet, saying 0.61 on the Premom app so I'll do another tonight and possibly another digital one. The digital one says it's supposed to detect an oestrogen surge before the LH and you've to use FMU so who knows what's going on. We've managed a quickie before the MIL gets here 😂 so can hopefully manage another tomorrow morning.

That's so good you've managed to book a holiday and can get some planning done. I found it really helpful to have something nice to look forward to. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better too. It's such a rollercoaster of emotions just now.

@Haylsttc you’re right, I did take pregnacare before getting my bfp! There is a thread about it delaying ovulation/making cycles longer (I don’t know how much science there is behind this though) but I think if it did have that effect it worked in my favour as I had short cycles and a short LP after my MMC. I also tracked ovulation and loosely followed SMEP - it was a month where I really wanted to feel like we’d done everything we could!

@CluelessInLondon I really like to try and have things to look forward to too if I get a BFN! January would have been my due date month so I know it’s a month I’m going to really struggle with so we’ve booked a week away so there’s something else to think about ❤️‍🩹

@Bugdem123 Strange about the clear blue digital ovulation tests! I’ve used it this month and I got two days of blank circles, four days of flashing smilies then peak! However I did use it a couple of months ago and that cycle it went straight from blank circle to peak, so it must depend on how quick the surge is maybe 🤔 Sounds like you’ve got your work cut out trying to navigate around the MIL 😂 hope it all goes to plan 🤞

@Wise0wlthank you for confirming! Yeah I’ve read a few threads about pregnacare apparently extending people’s cycle but it didn’t put me off as I also have a short LP so wouldn’t mind extending it by a few days haha! That’s exactly what we’ve done this cycle, I tracked ovulation with the clear blue advanced ovulation tests and almost followed SMEP just did the three days in a row starting from the day before peak instead of peak! Also got my partner on the wellmans conception vitamins too! Really hoping it works for us, this is probably the best try we’ve given it since the MMC🤞

@Haylsttc sounds like you've given it a good go this month with the vitamins etc 😊 fingers crossed x

@Bugdem123 excellent work squeezing a sesh in before MIL arrives 😂

ahh it’s 13dpo today, I usually start my period at 13dpo (last month was 12dpo), no sign of it yet but it could start anytime. Yesterday I thought I felt it starting but it was just white discharge. Hanging out and not testing even though I so badly want to!! Tomorrow morning it is, if I haven’t started bleeding by then… 🤞

@graceinc22 I'm so impressed you've held off testing! I have everything crossed that AF stays away and it's a positive!!

Oh man! My husband encouraged me to take a test and I caved!!! I think it’s a v v faint line… why do I do this to myself 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Hopefully tomorrow will make things clear after all!

@ThelastRolo20 thanks, I’m not gonna get my hopes up but I’m happy with the effort we’ve put in 😊 how are things going with you?

@graceinc22 Omg I see a faint line 👀 Could you make it to boots to get one of their early response tests? keep us updated 🤞

!!!!!!

this is on boots early detection…

lines are much fainter than last time around… not getting too excited yet as I may start bleeding and it all be over x

@Haylsttc not too bad! 1DPO so world's longest two weeks coming up 😂 I think we caught the right days though so fingers crossed @graceinc22 ah that's a fabulous looking positive 😍😍 congratulations!!

@graceinc22 Well there's definitely a line on that one! Congratulations, crossing fingers for a sticky bean for you.

Woohoo @graceinc22 I think you might be pregnant 😄 that's a great line, congratulations 🎊 x

We have had so many bfp on this thread, I feel like the ratio is really high in a short space of time, it's great, I hope it will rub off on all of us.

I am 5dpo today, going to try to wait until af is almost due and not test early, for my sanity, I haven't succeeded in waiting... like ever. Lol. x

Congratulations @graceinc22 💗! A great line considering it’s not fmu so try not to worry if it’s fainter than last time although I know it’s difficult not to compare x

I agree @Ladyinpink1 it’s definitely been a lucky thread so far 🍀 how long are you going to try and hold off testing for? X

@Wise0wl eek so exciting, glad everything is progressing well! I also have my next scan around the same time, mine is the 17th 😬 x

@graceinc22 aw a lovely line! Congratulations! 🥰

@Haylsttc I did another digital at around 6 and it was peak. You might be right that it depends how quick your surge is. The line OPK looks positive to me but Premom is saying 0.71 so we'll see what it is in the morning.

@ThelastRolo20 So glad we managed to do it today and hoping we can manage a quickie tomorrow before everyone is up. Really does feel like we're dating again haha.

Trying not question why it's so early this cycle, it's normally day 14/15 before I get a surge and it's 11DPO today so really early but I'm just going to go with it and see what happens.

@graceinc22 congratulations!! That looks like a lovely line to me. Looking forward to seeing tomorrow morning's!

@graceinc22 congratulations! That’s a great line 🥰

11dpo here and I have held off testing for the first time ever. Normally I’m a serial tester from about 8dpo. This cycle has been a really rough one: a 3 week cold I couldn’t shift, delayed ovulation, a uti and antibiotics and a lot of stress at work. And you guessed it. Will test again tomorrow with fmu. Feeling super anxious, happy, scared and excited all at once.

Loved the post earlier about going into ttc with hope and not fear, keep telling myself this over and over today.

@Gem0302 that's a wonderful line 😍😍 absolutely loving how many BFPs we're getting!! Congratulations 🎉 x

Wow @Gem0302 congratulations! And all those feelings you are feeling are so valid. One thing I keep telling myself is that worrying about it isn’t going to make a difference to the outcome, and taking it day by day is all we can do x

I love how many BFP’s are appearing on the thread 🫶🏼💗

Awwww congratulations @SnookyPook , that’s lovely news!!! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!! ❤️🫶🏻🎉

@Gem0302 congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Gem0302 congratulations! The line is so clear! 🎉🫶🏻

@graceinc22 congratulations!! Keep positive and the line is also super clear!! ❤️🫶🏻🎉

Fingers crossed for me BFP’s!!! 🫶🏻❤️🙏🏻
