Looking for people TTC after miscarriage

[Weebles]

Lady stardust, For all my tracking I'm not too sure how long they are these days! My app is very confused because I forgot to put it in pregnancy mode so that messed up its algorithm and now it thinks my cycles should be 32 days. Sorry for your early negative but I hope that mulled wine was as delicious as it sounds!

For those you you using opks.. I hated them so much too and that's why I gave up on them!

Anyway, afm, I tested and it was pretty negative. It was a Top Care early results test which I think is the generic frer only with blue lines. I couldn't find anything at all about it's sensitivity so I guess I'll just wait a bit longer.

 

[Chickybaby]

Good luck again weebles, hoping for a bfp for you in a few days.

Opk still negative. I will use the rest up over the next few days and the admit defeat and call it a write off. The testing is taking it's toll and my anxiety is rising with each negative. Keep hoping I've missed my surge and am pregnant but know it's not likely. Looking forward to Christmas with my boy and think we will ntnp over the next few months. I need to take a step back and just have some fun again, allow my body to regulate (hopefully). Too Much of this year has revolved around trying, being pregnant and loss so hoping to spend the last few weeks in a better more relaxed place enjoying it. Wish me luck xxx

CD 32 and I got a positive on a frer. It's very very faint.

Both overjoyed and petrified.

Thanks ladies!

Hope this is it for you weebles.

I hate Xmas card announcements. They need to crawl in a hole and die. I now don’t want to open or look at another Xmas card just so don’t have to see another.

This girl had her first son on the EDD of my first lost babe, and now it looks like she’ll have her second just a month after my second Mmc baby was due. Thanks life. That feels great. ‘Tis the season!

I’m actually not feeling the huge wave of emotions like I did the first time. There are no tears. I’m just shut down and walled off...and I may have contemplated ripping up the card.

 

[Chickybaby]

Uck lesonde, announcements suck but one that comes to your door and into your safe space is particularly cruel. I swear it seems like someone's paying a fucking cruel joke on some of us sometimes. Life's not fair, no one said it was but why does it seem to be more fair for some people than others. Sigh.

 

[LadyStardust4]

Lesonde, I’ve never heard of people announcing their pregnancies in Christmas cards. I can imagine that was really difficult for you and you have to allow yourself to feel the negative feelings before moving on. Just trust that your time is coming.

AFM cycle day 1. Here we go again....

 

[Yellowmoon]

I'd have ripped it up Les! They wouldn't know

Hey Kiki! Hope everything is well with you xx

 

[Sallyanne81]

Congrats Weebles! Wishing you all the best! xx

Welcome to pepper, some really nice words, I really think it helps being around the ladies here for support, it definitely has given me more strength this time around that's for sure!

That card with the baby announcement would have gone straight in the bin! Luckily we don't really do cards here so I am safe from that happening.

I am CD6 and I am feeling OK about it so far...., but I am really looking forward to Christmas, 2 weeks off work, seeing all my family in England, I can't wait!

 

[2Baby2]

I use 2 different apps one says I’m 7days away from AF and ones says 8, so technically I can take a FRER in the next few days here. Still negative on the OPKS but I’m kinda writing those off. We’re gonna keep BDing every other day until I get a positive or an AF arrives bc according to this stupid opk I still haven’t O ed yet (hence my hatred for them.) I told myself I won’t use FRER and would just wait until I was actually late but I definitely have a POAS problem lol.

Hi all, jumping in here and thought I would do a quick intro and ask a question.. I have two children, 5 & 2 ...We have had a difficult year of health issues with our daughter and on top of that we miscarried twice in 5 months this year. I have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism but my antibodies are near remission status. My thyroid values are okay ... my issues is that I don't have signs of ovulation like I used to (ovulation pain on one side, EWCM) and doctors here don't look into fertility issues until you lose 3 babies. (Because two lives isn't enough!?) Anyway, I took it upon myself to start BBT charting and of course these two cycles have been awful to chart because I've had two random fevers within 11 days (no other symptoms of illness). One fever went up to 104.7 the other I didn't let get past 102 and I left these off the chart. My question is, how can I tell if I've ovulated? My temps look so erratic. Are OPKs better? Should I try a month of those to see if I am even ovulating?

 

[kiki1234]

Thanks yellowmoon.! Things have been going well so far. 2 good ultrasounds. Still not ready to fully admit this might work, but getting closer.

 

[2Baby2]

I bought some FRER, but I feel like AF is on her way, I’m super crampy and I tend to sweat more before she arrives

Weird how I never got a positive on my opk hopefully I’m wrong

Ugh....here comes to symptom spotting

 

[Chickybaby]

2baby2 did your opks change at all? Or same darkness all cycle? They don't work for everyone so fingers crossed you just missed your surge, maybe you had a real short surge in the middle of the night... Who knows! Hope AF stays away and you get your Christmas miracle.

Faith, sorry to hear of your losses and your daughters health issues, every parents worse nightmare. Doctors here are the same, barely investigate until 3 losses or a full year trying (before 35), its annoying. Can you be pushy and request blood work on cd3 and cd21 (or whenever 7 days past ovulation would be). I just tell my doctor to do those and she does but our healthcare is pretty good and easy here. Opks won't tell you if you've ovulated, they will give you an indication that you have surged and your body is at least trying to ovulate, temping is your best bet for confirmation but it can be frustrating with all the factors that influence it.

It might just be your body trying to get back to 'normal' if you're having regular predictable cycles I would say that is at least a good sign! Story if that's not much help but that would be my understanding of the mater. Good luck

 

[2Baby2]

Omg! After writing them off I just took one tonight and it’s super STRONG opk positive! Yesterday’s was a clear negative so ***fingers crossed*** I didn’t miss it earlier today bc I was too tired to BD last night

Cd22 and FINALLY a positive OPK!
