@KittyFantastica aww I’m so sorry hun, it’s just horrendous isn’t it! My first ever pregnancy & miscarriage 4 weeks ago. Luckily managed to pass at home as was only 4 weeks. I agree with you on the timings of OPK, I randomly did a test as was feeling too good in myself and found a positive so DTD that day and a few days after but still not hopeful as don’t feel anything now . I hope maybe try testing again in a week and
hopefully will start seeing progress. Wishing you all the luck xx

@Ella31 i know it’s literally so tough! Find myself not focusing on anything else ! Aww i hope it’s your month !! ☺️ My last pregnancy I had bfp @ 9dpo which was a shock but definitely don’t feel like that now. But yes I agree I’m kind of glad I’m hopefully getting AF in the next few days as am spotting and just want my body to cleanse itself. I hope you get your BFP xx

My late twins were positive at 8dpo so like you, I expect it earlier testing wise. Just keep hoping

Is it positive to ovulate without a high opk reading? Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday as I had ovulation pains and cervix was open in the morning. But my LH was at 0.27 yesterday at 2pm and I haven’t tested until this morning at 0.31 and now back to 0.21.

Onthedouble123 · 17/05/2024 13:54

@emmatcc1 you could have just missed your peak if it was quick and yesterday evening. Mine normally falls really quickly afterwards so definitely possible to miss it. I tend to get obsessive and test 3 or 4 times a day when Im expecting a peak. (Though not this month as my body had its own plans!) Xx

emmatcc1 · 17/05/2024 14:00

@Onthedouble123 I hope that’s what happened because mine are usually high for 3 days .

I missed ovulation completely with both digital testers I was using (and I'd caught it three months running before that during 'practice' runs before we started TTC) the first month we started TTC. That was in December.

The positive test I got in January was a shock. Sadly ended in a loss, but I've since found out through testing multiple times a day with strips that I have a super fast surge and drop off. It's definitely possible to miss it.

There isn't a huge difference in those numbers. I'd keep testing. Do you have egcm

@Ncl31 I'm really sorry about your bfn, I hope your period arrives soon so you can start a fresh new cycle, when is it due? x

@Ella31 I'm the same lol. I think I get desperate during that fertile week and end up dtd too much lol x

I'm really sorry for your loss @Tallgirl91 Hoping your sickness gets better soon x

Tallgirl91 · 17/05/2024 21:31

@Ella31 thanks hun , bloody terrible anxiety at the mo but hopefully a fresh cycle will start soon! X

My anxiety has been up and down since my baby twin sons died. It's a horrible part of loss unfortunately. My husband told me this morning that I was having a nightmare last night and I woke him. I was apparently crying are they alive in my sleep. [One of my sons were stillborn and the other died in the neonatal unit] I didn't even know I was doing that.

Anxiety plays a huge part in this but it will get better. Obviously if you are struggling though tell someone. You aren't alone

Hi all, is there room for one more?
I’m back on this thread again. I was last on in Jan/Feb time following a MC in November & then got pregnant in March.

I went to my 12wk scan over 2wks ago where there was no heartbeat & had surgery 2wks ago now. Not trying again just yet as waiting for my test to go negative.

Had a phone call with my GP this week as the EPU said I could be referred to tommys miscarriage clinic due to being in area & being able to be referred after 2 MCs. Had a form through online to fill in, and earliest I can be seen is November.

I can’t wait until then to TTC, so I am petrified that in the meantime if i do manage to get pregnant again it will end in loss. Both babies have stopped growing at the 8/9 week mark.

Hope you are all as well as can be. This is such a tough journey to be on.

jellyfish2 · 18/05/2024 08:20

@Figtree11 how are you feeling after your surgery? I can't believe that's when you can next be seen, seems like such a long wait especially when it's something you want to much. I really really feel for you, hope you're ok.
Are they doing any testing on the baby to find out the cause?

Ncl31 · 18/05/2024 08:50

@Ella31 100% relief that it was only 1 day late. Onwards to next cycle. DH is away during predicted fertile week this cycle, but it’s only 2 nights so we will only miss 1 day so I’m sure it won’t make too much of a difference. Trying to stay positive as he’s away with his pals and I don’t want him to cancel it because he thinks I’m stressed about it

DonnaWhat · 18/05/2024 09:01

@Ella31 I'm sorry you're going through that. There's nothing worse than those kind of dreams.

@Figtree11 Sorry for your loss and sorry that you're back here. The ladies here are an amazing bunch. We're all here for you if you need to vent. You're never alone in this.

My AF should have arrived yesterday (28 days) or today according to premom. Nothing yet. No signs, no cramps and some EWCM. Don't fly home until tonight and checking out at 12. We're having a ride out to another area today so I hope I don't come on whilst out walking! I can't help but be hopeful but I know how my body was this month all over the place so I know in my head I'm out but but my heart says what if.... I can't test until we get home (2am tomorrow). Maybe I'll come on later but nothing showing as yet.

emmatcc1 · 18/05/2024 09:22

No BBT rise today and LH has went up to 0.5 finally so I’ll ovulate Monday I think which would be cd16!! So unusual for me.

Figtree11 · 18/05/2024 09:48

Thank you @DonnaWhat

@jellyfish2 thanks, I’m feeling fine physically post surgery. Back to my normal self really. Just waiting for the test to turn negative before I can start to think of TTC again. They said they were going to test for things like molar pregnancy but that’s it. And if I don’t hear back from them then that wasn’t the cause.

The thought of TTC again is so overwhelming. At the moment it’s like I’m trying to keep those emotions in a box in my brain & shut the lid. But it’s difficult

Tallgirl91 · 18/05/2024 09:49

Hi all , just an update , still spotting , no full on period yet. All my pms symptoms have disappeared and negative tests. Kinda thinking this is my “period” now as no sign of a heavy flow (which is what I normally get) The anxiety is horrible ! @DonnaWhat I fee
like you holding out for slight hope 🤞

@Figtree11 I'm so sorry. It's really difficult trying to make the decision to ttc again. Just my two cents but you are so fresh out out of your loss and recovering from your surgery. Give yourself a few weeks to clear your mind and find a little peace. Xxx

It'll be a scary prospect just now TTC again but you'll know when you're ready. I thought they'd maybe do genetic testing but maybe only on the third. My friend had 3mcs, her first two were early MCs and her third was a MMC at 12 wks. Baby got sent for testing and it turned out the baby had Turners Syndrome so she knew it was a girl too. She's gone on two have to children since then so there is hope.
