Anyone else now trying again STRAIGHT after a mc? NTNP?

[ickle pand]

so I managed to convince myself yesterday that this was the month. My boobs were (are) very sore, I feel sick and I just feel like I have done in the past when pregnant. So I decided I would test again this morning. Woke up at 3.30 am desparate for a wee and thought this was FMU so tested, and of course BFN. This was with a 20mui test.

I have a spa day booked for Wednesday when AF is due, which I need to cancel today if I want to get my money back. If it is BFN though for this month, I'd like to do it as a way of pampering myself and taking my mind off BFN. But it involves hot stone massage amongst other things so I wouldn't want to risk this in early pregnancy.

So I went to my local Sainsburys to see if I could get a super sensitive test. For some reason they have taken all the PTs off the shelf and put them behind the pharmacy counter, so you have to ask for the one you want. I asked the pharmacist (male) which one was the most sensitive and he said all pregnancy tests are the same! They didn't have any FRER so I ended up buying an own brand one which was the only one which said you could test early, but when I got it home and checked, it was only 15mui so only fractionally more sensitive than the one at 3.30 am and at lunchtime today it was also BFN. But it claims to be 85% accurate 2 days before the missed AF.

So it looks like I am out again this month. I hate hate hate TTC. We always struggle and I worry that it just won't ever happen for us again. Not helped by the fact, that some old biddy asked me in the supermarket whether I was the children's grandmother. I was only 31 when I had the older of the two children I had with me, so would have been pushing it some.

Emum - ignore the old biddie. How rude to say that to someone in their 30's!!

It could just be too early to test. If you do get a BFP before your spa day, just let them know and ask to change your treatment to a pregnancy friendly one - you've already booked in the time, they just need to change what type of treatment you get.

 

[filipenko32]

Oh i'm sorry emum I know how disappointing it is. Maybe the old biddie couldn't see properly as she was old! Why do 'bad things' always happen at once!? I hope it works out for you next month if definitely not this month x

 

[Emum]

How rude to say that to someone in their 30's!!

DD is 10 now, nearly 11. So that makes me, cough, cough, over 40...

Swopping treatments on the day for something pregnancy friendly if necessary is a good idea. I hadnt thought of that. I can't really change the day as it is half term so I had to organise childcare well in advance to be able to go. And one of the reasons for doing it this week was BECAUSE it was half term and I knew I'd fancy a break half way through.

Seep emum so sorry your feeling out. With dd and the lsdt pregnancy I got bfns with frers at 12dpo only ever got a faint line positive at 14-15 dpo. As for that old biddy how rude. I would have gone off it.

Bastegirl so glad your feeling so positive. Good luck with the u/s.

Afm really think im setting myself for a fall as i am feeling really positive about this month. I have so many symptoms and my temp was way up. I know i was sleep deprived but even so a temp like that is not normal for me. Hopefully my ics will come tomorrow and i am so proud that i have got this far without testing.

 

[MrsMM24]

CLOBO, how are you Hun? I am haning in, hoping to make Oct a great bfp month!
EMUM, don't give up, no = still chasing Hun!
FLIPENKO, glad that you and DH got some closeness, I am sure that it helped getting back into TTC out more than you think. Glad you got your orders in! GL
BASTE, thanks! I worried about the temps being low and being sick beforehand but I am aware it is cold outside. YAY for possible trigger soon! GL FXD for some mature follies!
DEBZIE, glad that you brought that image to this thread for others to get a visual. Thanks Pusher!
CHIST, I am sure all is well, keep taking care and when you go back in at the end of the month all will be well Hun!

AFM...Stalk my chart!!! Yay!! The weekend was extra busy for me, as you can see I haven't even logged onto my beloved BNB. I am back and tackling this TTW head on, last week!!! Temp is barely staying above coverline, but it is not dropping soooo... I was too busy to be thinking about symptoms, but now that I read everyone's posts, I can say I haven't had any noticeable ones. I just hope that it continues to rise or at least stay up through to a bfp! Still trying not to be too excited as being sick a week before OV really has me quite worried... I still wait... FXD!

 

[debzie]

Just ransacked my bedroom and found an ic had to use it. Got a bfn which was expected but i couldnot wait any longer. Feel better now i have had a fix lol.

Hi! Thanks MrsMM yeah and it helps as my DH doesn't just think I am using him for but I will be in a few weeks and i'll be feeding him fertility foods without him knowing from now on. In a very short time time I will see my DH as nothing more than a walking sperm bank (but a well loved one!) After 3 mc's any normal person would go off dtd!! I am insane.

Re your bug: A few months back I asked a recurent mc consultant and a fertility specialist at top clinics in London about being ill before ov-ing as i was worried this had had some effect too and they both said absolutely not, no way. Apparently you have to have some horrible 'serious' disease like toximosplasmosis (sp) for this to have any effect so I don't worry about little bugs anymore. x x

Ha ha! How many dpo are you now?

 

[chistiana]

Bastet- Yaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!Fingers and toes xed for 2 lovely follicles waiting for you!!!!

Emum- first of all...did you tell the biddie to go check herself out? When does she think people have children really? i am 31 and had my son at 29 so i guess i wil be considered old when he's 10-11????Old bat!
As for the bfn...it's still early hun...the brand i had gave me bfn (well unless i twisted and turned and then i could possibly see a shadow no colour) at 12 dpo but the wondfo ones were faint positive. And that was when my b/w came back at 70 so the first one should have shown considering it claimed for 10ml/u. I m keeping my fxed for you!

Debzie....hahahahahaha...i know the feeling! 9 dpo you would have been veeeery veeeeryyy lucky hun but fxed you'll get your bfp with the new batch!

MrsMM- i agree with filipenko...i think it's nothing to worry about...unless you were boiling with high temps i doubt it makes much of a difference! How long till testing? GL!!!

AFM- i went from being a POAS junkie to being a 'checking my knickers every 2 seconds' junkie!! I keep having the feeling something is going on down there so i keep checking! I was at a lesson today (i teach children with SEN) and stopped the lesson to go to the bathroom 3 times!

 

[Emum]

Thanks C. I didn't know you were an SEN teacher. My DD has severe learning difficulties and goes to a fantastic special school. The teachers there are so amazing! I have learned so much from them about how to teach her, and even just how to structure activities to keep her entertained. Such a challenging job, but one which really makes a difference in people's lives, not just the children you teach, and you can't say that for a lot of professions.

Absolutely true Emum...i think anything (or at least almost everything) you do with a passion can make a difference in people's lives...i love my students BECAUSE they are so special plus they have taught me sooooo many things it is unbelievable!

 

[filipenko32]

You must find that job SO rewarding knowing you have made a big difference every day....

On a seperate note - You know, you're right about the fertility poas! I noticed that the line nearest the pee end does get lighter. Today I still had a positive pregnancy test but a green light on my fertility monitor so it mustn't be detecting high estrogen and the hcg level must be so low now that it's not even registering as an LH surge. Does that make sense!?

What fertility foods are you feeding your DH? I want to sneak some into my DH too lol!

 

[filipenko32]

I make him smoothies with lots of antioxidant type fruits in like all the berries, and I crush vitamin c tablets into that aswell as vit c is good for sperm. But i also put lots of antioxidant type vitamins in there (but not all at once) such as acai berries in vitamin form. I give him L-arginine as that's an amino acid found in normal protein but it's good for libido so I double that near my ov-time and it keeps him going! Everything is naturally derived stuff. Unfortunately he drinks beer twice a week and a lot of coffee so this muct cancel my efforts!!

 

[chistiana]

filipenko it does make sense...if it cant detect hcg then no lh serge either! It looks like you re well on your way to a nice bfn and ov soon after!

 

[bastetgrrl]

Well I'm extremely disappointed to report that there were no mature follicles yet. I swear that I just can't go to the dr and get any good news. I thought for sure that I was so close because of all the signs. I mean I have EWCM pouring out when I go to the restroom!!! :growl: This is just a huge blow to my positive thinking.

Other bad news for the day...another friend that I had just found out was preggers a couple of weeks ago (FB update) has just had a mc at 11 wks. So very sad.

I'm so sorry to read this, is there any chance you could try in a few days or does it have to be exactly today? sorry about your friend x

Well I could and hopefully will O later but it's just back to the same ole BS with my long cycle. If we don't get preggers this cycle I'm sure I'll get an increased dose of clomid.

 

[chistiana]

sorry to heat this Bastet but hey..not everyone ovulated cd14...i actually never ovulated earlier than cd17 so please keep your spirits up..if its not today it will be soon and when it happens you'll have not 1 but 2 little follicles!

 

[filipenko32]

I ov late too on day 16 of a 27 day cylce. Hang in there and if you do need a higher dose of clomid then there are so many success stories out there because of it. You never know , you could be the one getting the twins and it's fate for you!
