August loss thread - TTC our rainbows!

[Mrsmac02]

How many DPO are you? I always wait til AF is actually late with the digis, they don't ever seem sensitive enough for my liking! X

 

[bubbles82]

Only 9dpo today, can't believe I've cracked the FRERs out so early. AF isn't due for another 5 days

 

[Mrsmac02]

They'll get darker over the next few days then you could break out the digis to prove to hubby it's a BFP!

 

[Sweety21]

OMG! that is a clear positive bubbles. Massive Congratulations! I amd Happy dancing in my mind. he he. I know men's don't understand those lines. Mine won't evenagree with me until he sees something on scan.

Lora, Thank you so much it helps alot. When do I start using them? 10cd or 12cd?

Bubbles, I have fertility signs around 11-13cd but, my temperature doesn't drop until 16-18dpo. Should I continue testing until I get two dark lines?

 

[bubbles82]

I don't think DH really believed DD was actually really coming until she was born!

If it's your first proper cycle using OPKs I would start them quite early so maybe around 10dpo just to make sure you don't miss your positive. Yeah just keep testing until once a day until they start to get darker, then maybe twice a day to be sure to catch your surge. You're looking for the test line to be as dark as the control or even darker x

Omg bubbles congratulations I will keep everything crossed for you that this is a sticky bean .

The EPC rang today said my levels were low and I've to come back in tomorrow to see if they will rise or not. I haven't bleed anymore. But I know It's gone I just know. I didn't ask what the levels were cos I didn't even think, and I was in a middle of an appointment for my son, so couldn't even talk. I know we have all had losses and some have had more... But really two!! Back to back! How am I even going to start putting myself back together... I haven't even recovered from the first m/c. So sorry for the rant I just needed to say it, and I know I won't be judged here. I'm definitely just going to go back on birth control.. Maybe not forever but I can't do this to myself again xx

 

[LoraLoo]

So sorry that they said your levels were low Vicky 😔 I realy hope they rise quickly.
You're right life can be so cruel and unfair xx

 

[Vicky_92]

Just felt a pop in my belly and had pain. And its starting... Brown blood for now but that's the way it started the last night x

 

[LoraLoo]

😞 much love Vicky xx

 

[Vicky_92]

Thank you lora means a lot. This sucks it really sucks I havent even slept since Monday night. My heads completely away... I just don't were to start to heal, I don't know what to do. I'm such in so much emotional pain

 

[Mrsmac02]

Oh Vicky, my heart is breaking for you hun. It's so unfair.

I know it's no consolation but you are young and I am guessing healthy. There's time hun.

Take really good care of yourself hun xxx

 

[amytrisha]

Bubbles! I'm so happy for you, praying for a sticky bean! 🙏 xx


So sorry it wasn't the best news Vicky 😔 thinking of you, life really isn't fair xx

 

[Vicky_92]

Thank you Mrsmac. I don't think I'll be trying again for a long while if not ever I just can't do it anymore. I know that this was only my second m/c and people have it worse but it's just because it happened so close to each other. Yea I'm only 23 and as far as I know I'm healthy but I can't help but think now there must be something wrong xx

 

[amytrisha]

Try not to think like that, maybe give your body a bit of time to recover and allow yourself to become 'ready' mentally too. It's my second loss too (albeit not in a row) and I'm starting to wonder if I can't have a certain gender or something. I've decided to wait til we try again, give myself time to recover xx

 

[Vicky_92]

Sorry Amy didn't see your post. Thank you! You are definitely right there, life hasn't been fair on any of us recently . I just have no idea how I'm going to get over this xx

 

[Vicky_92]

And another post I didn't see sorry. How long are you waiting if you don't mind me asking? I'm just at such a low point right now, I probably will change my mind. Thank you everyone for your kind words.

 

[Aayla]

Wow. Three pages of writing to get through and it's a roller coaster of emotions all the way. I'm crying here. happy and sad.

Vicky: I am so so so very sorry for what you are going through. I instantly started crying. I think it's perfectly fine to go on bc and take some time. I don't think there is anything wrong with you. But if you suspect something my first thought is to get your thyroid checked out. It's a big cause of miscarriages and it can be one point off, and that's fine for every day living, but it's not good for carrying a pregnancy to term. I had that exact issue. I was put on synthroid last year. I don't know if went abnormal again and that caused mine since I have been off of it long before i got pregnant but if I have another one I am getting it checked again.

Bubbles: OH My God...that is a line there!! I didn't even have to click on the picture. Bright and pink on my computer screen!!! Sqeeeee! I hope you keep testing and posting pics!!!

Lora: I hope you get your positive opk soon. When do you normally O?

Sweety: I think IC's are fine. I haven't used any off of the internet but I used the dollar store ones and I got a positive with them. I think it was false due to hcg in my system or my body was gearing up and didn't O but it turned positive so I count it as working. No more will I be spending a ridculous amount of money on digis. I have no idea how I will be when it comes to hpts though..the dollar store ones only have a sensitivity of 25 and frer's have a sensitivity of 6.3. But I don't know if I want to go through early testing again.

AFM: Had the biopsy today. man did that hurt. Always does but it's a necessary evil. doc said that my lining was thin (which is a good thing) and that because i have been ovulating that my hyperplasia should be gone for good. As long as the results come back good I don't have to do another one for a year. I was given a presription for 5 months of Letrozole! Which is awesome. I thought my weight may be an issue but it wasn't. I still have one month left at home so I have 6 months in total. FX it won't take that long.

I had cramping this morning. Then the biopsy caused more cramping and some bleeding of course so hopefully this induces af to come. Doc said I could be a couple more weeks to get it but I should get it on my own. If I haven't got in on my own in a month then to take provera to induce it. She really doesn't want that as it's a false cycle but I can feel my body gearing up for it. So I think it will be soon. I am only on cd33 today so I still have 2 more days before she usually shows up.

 

[LoraLoo]

Oh aayla I can only imagine how painful it was. Hope you are resting up now? Hopefully Af will come soon for you.

I've not heard of the thyroid thing and mc before- how do they test for that, do you know?

I'm not really sure when I ovulate, ive spent pretty much te last 9 years pregnant and/or breastfeeding so not had many AF- but my cycles can be long and irregular.

The 2 cycles I had between having my implant out Nd falling pregnant with eden, I ovulated on days 14 and 17- which isn't normal for me, but was very welcome!

Vicky I agree with the other ladies, maybe just give your body a cycle or two to recover physically. So Sorry it's happening again xx

 

[Aayla]

They do a blood test. Easy peasy.

That sucks not knowing when you O. I guess it's just test until positive then and BD as often as possible.

 

[LoraLoo]

Oh it's possible they may have already tested for that then - they took loads of vials of blood from me, I will check when we have all the results back and I see consultant. If it's not been checked I will request it, thanks for that! 😃

Yeah it's annoying not knowing. When TTC Amy I didn't ovulate til cd 90 odd! I got pregnant that time too!
