TTC after loss part 5

Just continuing our old thread. I've added anyone who has asked to stay on here. As always, anyone who is trying after a loss is welcome to join and those who have been lucky since are welcome to encourage those who are still waiting for their rainbow (if you want to stay of course )

Also for the next thread, I'm going to let someone else take over creating the new one if people don't mind. I've a lot on at the moment with tests and I'm back to work in the next few weeks after my bereavement leave with my boys. So if anyone would like to take the mantle, feel free.

Im 2dpo today and have another ultrasound on Wednesday to see if follicle has burst followed by pdg blood test.

I am 1dpo 3 weeks 5 days since surgical miscarriage.
I just don’t know how to feel, I have so much hope but know how disappointing it will be if I don’t get that BFP.
you read so many success stories about getting pregnant straight away after miscarriage it gets your hopes up.
hope everyone is ok xxxxxx

Think we will be close in cycles this month @Mummysparrow I am cd7 today, so it will be nice to have some company 🙂 Tell me more about these new supplements you are taking?
I have been giving dh and I a huge amount, but I read on another thread recently that too many is bad for sperm so I have cut ours right down now, not sure whether to just get one supplement that has a little of everything x

Sorry you dont have a good feeling about this cycle @moosey89 . I hope it's wrong and you get good news. Have you started your new job yet? x

I had the same feeling after mine @Joleyjojo and I wished you didn't hear these 'success right away' stories because they do put the pressure on and make you more dissapointed if it doesn't work out right away.
I hope you are one of the success stories. x

moosey89 · 22/09/2024 08:13

@Joleyjojo I know that feeling too - I've also got the same feeling this month as I had an HSG and this is the 3rd cycle since, and apparently a lot of women get a BFP within 3 cycles, so this is it for apparently being more fertile after that procedure too. I really hope you do get your bfp but please try not to be too disheartened if you don't. We're all here for you.

@Ladyinpink1 thank you - all 3 of my pregnancies had the exact same early symptoms and I don't have anything this time around unfortunately. I got back from holiday in Cornwall yesterday, had a lovely week with amazing weather. So I have to hand my notice in tomorrow which I really hate! Then depending on my notice I'll start the new role by 21st Oct 😊 x

I've got a thin blue line on a clearblue ultra early test at 16-17dpo. I need to start injections from a positive test but know that clearblue ultra early have a bad rep. Do you think I should start the injections just incase? Unfortunately they were the only tests I could get hold of today

Babydust99 · 22/09/2024 18:44

This is it

MrsS11 · 22/09/2024 19:39

Ooh that looks pretty positive to me @Babydust99 !! Congratulations! I don't know anything about those tests getting a bad rep though

emmatcc1 · 22/09/2024 23:29

@Babydust99 unfortunately it looks like a typical evap line to me

Joleyjojo · 23/09/2024 01:23

@Ladyinpink1 @moosey89 it does honestly get your hopes up. I am 2dpo driving myself insane. Prior to the loss I wasn’t as obsessed. I definitely hope we are all success stories. My 40th birthday is a few months away and had everyone asking what’s the plan, party, bottomless brunches, girls trips away and I just keep putting things off “just incase” I am pregnant. I know I won’t want a big celebration if I’m pregnant just low key , but if im not I want a full blow out .

@Babydust99 it does look like a bit of an evap. But my thicker line that was positive dried thin so hopefully that’s the same for you. Do another in a few days preferably pink dye test. Fingers crossed for you x

Babydust99 · 23/09/2024 07:19

Thanks everyone. Just worried about not starting my injections in time if it is actually a bfp. I'll leave it until tonight and if no af I'll start them then

Have you tested this morning??? They say FMU is the best especially for early BFP. It’s not the same for everyone just the majority x

Could you contact the person prescribing the injections for advice?
They will have an idea on balancing the risk of not staying them early enough Vs potentially having them unnecessarily if your start taking them and you get your period

Mummysparrow · 23/09/2024 20:05

Congratulations @Babydust99 it very much looks positive to me

@Ladyinpink1 I am using naître supplements. The vitamins are liposomes and they are easier for the body to absorb. The reviews are amazing so thought it was worth a try. Very pricey but if it helps in a month or two its worth it. I got a discount on it as well. I believe I was sent another discount code for 20% off of anyone wanted it.

Babydust99 · 23/09/2024 20:43

Thanks everyone. Af has showed up this afternoon, 3 days late 🥴

Sorry to read this. Hope your ok x

Superscientist · 24/09/2024 08:02

Oh I'm sorry @Babydust99. Squishy cuddles. Take care of yourself x

Superscientist · 24/09/2024 10:31

I'm cd21 and getting inklings that I might have conceived. My breasts are tingling and I've lost a bit of weight (which I have done with my previous pregnancies). I had EWCM on days 10 & 11. I had said I wouldn't test until after my missed period. I did 5 days after with the previous ones not intentionally though. It feels like a long wait but don't want to stress about barely visible lines! It feels like it might be a long week!

Babydust99 · 24/09/2024 10:57

Thanks everyone. I'm used to it now after 4 losses and over 2 years ttc. We are getting fertility testing done next month so we at least know if there is something more than sticky blood going on

Superscientist · 24/09/2024 12:50

Hopefully the testing will give you some answers. Even when a thing becomes your normal it can still occasionally blindside you, just because it's something that happens more frequently it doesn't always make things easier. There's no right or wrong way to feel or act. If you feel ok that's good but it's ok if you're not or something in between or moving between both situations.

moosey89 · 24/09/2024 18:50

@Babydust99 we're in a similar boat. It sucks doesn't it. All my tests are completely normal too. If we don't conceive again by July (or if we have another loss) I think I'm done TTC and we're going down the adoption pathway. It's been 7 years (actively trying for over 4) and 3 MMCs, tons of tests, and I'm just exhausted.

Figtree11 · 24/09/2024 19:09

I’m sorry @Babydust99 I hope you get a plan of action going forwards after the testing

Figtree11 · 26/09/2024 16:54

How is everyone?

I’m on holiday which has really helped with the TTC blues, although it’s never far from my mind like usual.
CD19 and don’t think I have ovulated yet.

Superscientist · 26/09/2024 17:19

CD23 here, trying to stay distracted. My boobs are tingly, I do wonder if I ovulated early. I don't track it but I would have to have ovulated early to have conceived. I've lost half a kilo too which happened in previous pregnancies. I was going to buy a test yesterday but the car broke down. I don't want to test to early and obsess about barely visible lines!

I'm glad you are enjoying your holiday, it's understandable that it's still on your mind. I hope you feel signs of ovulation soon x

Figtree11 · 26/09/2024 17:51

@Superscientist how many DPO do you think you are? Sounds like lots of positive signs

Thank you - I did have what I think was ewcm for like a week, but haven’t been ovulation testing while away so don’t know if it is anything

Superscientist · 26/09/2024 19:46

I estimate that I'm 9-13dpo. I had EWCM on cd 10 and 11. Day 13 is the estimate for ovulation based on lmp and my average cycle length. My period is due Monday. I'm trying to hold out until the weekend. It will probably the next time I'm at the shops anyway.

Fingers crossed the EWCM is a sign. Try not to over think things. How long is left of your holiday?

Figtree11 · 27/09/2024 06:24

@Superscientist i’ve everything crossed for you. Let us know how you get on.

I’m on holiday until Saturday. Then it’s a year to the day since I found out I was pregnant for the first time. Sometimes struggle to think why is it that my life has turned out like this
