Hellloo.
Is anyone else starting TTC for next cycle in January?
I've got a DD who's 6 but I do feel a bit like i haven't done this in a while so just wanted to chat. 🙂

Well, bleeding heavier this morning so declaring it AF and me out for the month.

Seriously thinking about taking a break from this because it's heartbreaking.

Well as thought the 25miu didn't show anything this morning but mine isn't even bleeding anymore it's actually more like what I had with DD with white pva glue consistency discharge but pink tinged.
I feel like this is a positive sign 🤞 it was only 48 hours of what I'd say watered down and lighter bleeding and now this. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Hopefully the 25miu (if nothing else changes) shows something tomorrow morning 🤞🤞🤞🤞

My surgery has been cancelled now because of the positives, but they remain faint so not sure I can get excited yet :(

YKM2829 · 15/01/2025 10:08

I'm trying to stay a little optimistic, as I'm only 13dpo so it's very possible it's just too early. But then I keep thinking back to my DD and comparing 🤦🏽‍♀️ it swear I got a pretty obvious line at 13dpo because I waited 3 days after and did another at 16dpo and it was then super duper dark.

I finally got a positive LH today! I was sure I wasn't going to this month, my levels have been so weird until now. Relieved and needed to share!

km9371 · 15/01/2025 11:42

@YKM2829 staying optimistic is good! All pregnancies are different aren't they 💚

km9371 · 15/01/2025 11:43

@Wednesdayonline fab!! I hope you have a lovely few days of making babies 😂💚

Its very promising that your "bleeding" is gone, maybe your hcg levels havent risen yet. Try again tomorrow and see if theyre showing then?

This month i deleted my flo app , chucked my clear blue opks in the bin (made dh snap it so I couldn't get it back out) and have just decided to go with the flow, I found after losing my baby I was obsessed with cm, dates , feelings etc and got so down when af arrived , I keep telling my self I had no symptoms until 6weeks so it's all just hyper vigilance, but it still doesn't stop me googling every thing ,this ttc is making me crazy

Sending positive vibes x you're not out until full AF

I think it's a chemical :( Tuesdays test vs today. It doesn't get any easier each time no matter what I tell myself about preparing for the worst :(

Love and luck to the rest of you 💚

Couldn't scroll by with out commenting , have you tried a different brand test to see if its any different?, I'm so sorry if this is cm again

brycequinny · 16/01/2025 09:45

@km9371 really sorry to see this. As @Fingerscrossed2025 said, maybe try a brand test?

km9371 · 16/01/2025 09:46

@Fingerscrossed2025 no I havnt but I dont think there is any hope :( here's a better photo of how things have gone.

Thank you for replying 💚💚

This keeps happening to me and it's so upsetting 😭 my doctor just insists it has no cause and there's no concern that it keeps happening 😭

It's my first day of work today in a new job and I just want to hide in bed and wait for the bleeding

I think I'm going to try and wait so at least I keep the other tests for my next chemical ☠️

Sorry I am being negative today, just really thought this one was my sticky one

Your doctor is not a specialist they are what we call "a jack of all trades master of none" , it pains me to say this but if it is another cm , gather all your strength book and appointment with the doctor and demand further testing/scans etc as this it heart breaking for you and any reoccurring health issues etc should be looked into

Hey @km9371 I am so sorry this is happening to you. I am not sure about here in the UK, but my sister is an OBGYN in another country and with repeat CP (in some cases) she would try clomid or other ovulation help. The theory (probably butchering it here!!) is that poor quality eggs = bad embryos = not enough progesterone to sustain the pregnancy. She said treating with progesterone can work but is like a plaster on the problem... but some women on clomid will then grow more eggs each month, and the chances of a good one coming through are higher. Your GP may not listen to this advice as may be different here in the UK, but I wanted to offer you this in case it helps x

100 percent, book an appointment if this does turn out to be a cm 😔 but I absolutely must ask you to insist on getting a second third or fourth opinion untill someone actually at least sends the effort trying to figure it out for you and not just fob you off.

But I also agree about trying some other tests over the next coming days if , and remember some bleeding could be spotting, I'm not trying to get your hopes up, but it's not completely out untill a proper AF arrives xxx

@Qwerty93 just checking in to see how you're doing? Xx

km9371 · 16/01/2025 13:53

Thank you all 💚

I will possibly go back to the doctor when I feel up to it, but also think we might just give up on baby number two plans. It's been a really heartbreaking (almost year) trying now, and it's stopping me from fully enjoying my life and the little one I have because I'm in a constant whirlwind of loss.

I wish you all so much love and that you all get your babies this cycle or very soon!!

It's over and out from me xxxx
