Looking for TTC buddies after MC

[Poppiebug]

So nothing conclusive on this morning's test. Hoping it's just too early to know yet.

 

[mrsmummy2]

Ahh i have my fingers crossed for you poppie

I'm still on my black/brown old clotting blood phase... it's been nearly 4 days! Slight red cm yesterday but nothing today. I'm peeved! Should I just count this as my period? I tested 2 days ago and bfn. Don't even feel pregnant at all so frustrating!

Sorry the witch got you w8ting and mrs.. sounds like we are not far off our cycles.

 

[Poppiebug]

Well I think I'm out

Some spotting yesterday and temps dropping. BFN on tests. I'm so bummed. Why is it not working now when we got pregnant first go with the others? My LP seems to be shorter now, how do I even fix that?

 

[mrsmummy2]

Oh no poppie
Not sure about the LP, but I'm sure there must be medications out there to help

 

[Poppiebug]

Oh no poppie
Not sure about the LP, but I'm sure there must be medications out there to help

Thanks mrsmummy. I'm actually feeling really depressed. I could have just slept all day yesterday. So emotional

I'm going to get some Vitex as I've read that can help, and start on that tomorrow. I don't think it could do any harm.

Part of me thinks to stop the temping and opks, but the organised side of me needs to know that stuff.

 

[mrsmummy2]

Good idea! Hope it helps.
Sorry you've been feeling down it's hard isn't it.. life becomes consumed with ttc and then its a massive disappointment every month when theres no bfp.
I had decided to not temp.. but low and behold i got that thermometre back out this morning and temped lol. Its hard not to once you've started.

Ladies! It’s me again! Ugh last month was crazy!!! I was exactly 7 days late!! I wasn’t going to try aggain and well I posted this on the ovulation tests thread but hoping you don’t mind if I post here since we’ve all kind of stuck together! Hugs everyone!

I’m usually regular 30-32 days. Last month we tried and I also used OPKs and got a positive (I believe) on CD18. I was also a week late for my period. Maybe due to stress of hoping I’m pregnant. So this month I decided to not try or worry about it. Here I am... last night we dtd with me thinking I couldn’t possible get pregnant since it’s CD21/2 (dtd @ midnight) so just for my sanity I went to take a opk at lunch and it looks positive but the test line seems a tad lighter? I’m unsure. Help please

 

[PeanutWhereRU]

Anl251 is that a pregnancy test?

 

[ANL25]

Peanut- no it’s an ovulation test. I wasn’t going to “try” this month so haven’t thought about it or really had time to dtd but on cd 22 we dtd (at midnight) so cd23 at lunch I bought ovulation kit to see if maybe I ovulated during that time and that was my result. I usually ovulate at 17/18 dpo but I was late a week this past month so I don’t know ... it sort of looked positive but then a few hours later took another opk and the test line was so light!

 

[BabyBrain80]

Oh it does look very close to positive doesn't it! So you did another one later and it was lighter? It could be your surge coming down. Was your period normal? (Edited to say
I see you were 7 days late) Mine was weird and long so I seem to have ovulated a week late. And I have read that sometimes o doesn't occur so the body tries again a week or so later??? Id test again for a couple of days maybe, see what it does....hopefully you end up with a BFP without even trying!!! Good luck x

Poppie I'm sorry you are having a hard time it doesn't help much but your body can sometimes need a bit of time to recover xx

 

[Poppiebug]

Good luck ANL, I hope you catch that egg.

I'm doing better today, just really really down this week. Pregnancy announcements coming left right and centre, people with 4 kids having their 5th and just like really?? I know you are heightened to everything when you're going through this stuff so you notice it more. I know and understand things can take time to get sorted after a loss, I think I am really just grieving a bit this week. I know my time will come again but can't helping thinking about the what if, or I should have been stuff, you know? We've all been there haven't we?

Thanks for listening to me.

I'm definitely carrying on with temping etc this month, paid up my 3 months to FF so better use it. Hopefully the Vitex helps with things too.

I hope you are all doing ok. x

 

[mrsmummy2]

Totally with you there poppie. A friend announced her pregnancy last week.. shes due the same time i wouldve been, so thats super hard to hear.
I have everything crossed that we'll all get our bfps this year. Roll on those 2019 babies!!!

 

[Ella]

Hi ladies, hope it's okay if I join? I had a m/c at 11 weeks in Jan and now TTC again, be nice to talk to others ttc after a loss as I don't feel like I've got that same blind excitement feeling now, definitely overshadowed by worry

 

[imready4it]

that's lovely imready! xx

 

[BabyBrain80]

Imready, thats fantastic news, congratulations!! Hope you are feeling well xx

Ella, you are very welcome, Im very sorry for your loss. Yes the ttc journey is a bit different after a loss and it really can help to talk about how you feel. This place is great for that. So feel free to vent and know that we all understand, no matter what.

Poppie are you doing ok today?

ANL whats been happening? Did you do any more opks?

Im hoping everyone else is doing ok, I forget where everyone is in their cycles!

So with my weird cycle I am Cd29 or 32.....6/7dpo. I ordered some ics....only 15 this time so I dont go too crazy and they arrived today. So since I hadnt peed for 4 hours I thought hey lets test!

I really need more self control! It said delivery would be Tuesday which I was quite happy with but they came too early!!!!

Bfn but I can see a vvvvf shaddow but to be honest I always see bloody lines! Reckon if you look hard enough on any test you can see something I will try and wait till Monday at the earliest.

 

[W8tingforbaby]

Good luck babybrain!!
Sorry for your loss Ella

 

[Hellobaby2]

So sorry for your loss Ella, I feel the same too, feeling so paranoid with every little things. I had mc 3+ weeks ago and am still waiting for my AF and I have been worrying if there is anything wrong with my tubes, uterus etc... I think it's normal to feel this way after mc.

So happy to know everything is ok imready4it - I didn't know you can find out the gender so soon on the 12-wk Harmony scan, congrats on having a lovely daughter

BabyBrain80 good luck and hopefully if you wait for a few more days, it will be a BNP!!!!!!!

Next Monday will mark 4th week after mc and I am still waiting for AF. I recently have very mild aches around the lower abdominal area (stretchy, sometimes pre-AF kind of aches...) and the nurse said it could be everything is returning to where it should be but I am going for a scan on Monday to make sure everything is ok.

Silly question, I have been charting O but it has been negative, does it mean I need to wait for O to come before I have my AF?
