So with the swollen throat and throwing up for the past 3 days I thought i would test again.. I had a stark white line 2 days ago..

I cried after I tested today scared of what might come... Guess I should just relax and take it easy.

How many DPO are you?

I think I am roughly 15 or 16 but I'm not 100% sure as my first AF after d&c was literally like a bit of pink in my cm for 3 days..

This pregnancy is like my first one. I've already gotten a bad rash all over my body and my hands are swollen up too... I really hope the sickness stays away, I had it for the entire pregnancy with my first.

Poppie, flou, brain hope you don't mind me sticking around.. I really want you ladies to get your bfp soon.

My story so far...
I was at work and had the sharpest pain in my uterus when I stood up I was bent over for a few second.. I really thought yes it's time for AF and was convinced I ovulated a couple of weeks before, I had really bad cramps that day i told hubby let's just try either way it will make no difference.. anyways after that I started getting really dark lines on my opk.. I thought the tests were faulty as the test line was so much darker than the control I thought the new test I bought the control was the bottom and test line on top (reversed) I think I posted a pic of my progression in a previous post.. i tested again for a few days and same thing happened.. I started getting globs of thickish cm with lotion like in the middle.. still convinced I'm pregnant I kept taking a pregnancy test (so confused at this point) so when the lightbulb finally hit I realised it was ovulation and we only bd the first day I got my cramps and the 3rd day. I was convinced as anything I was out and couldn't stop laughing at my stupidity.

I think what helped me again this time around and I will now swear by this if we have number 3. The cup and the wellman conception tablets for hubby.. I was reading up on the best way etc to use and cup and increase chances is so try and orgasm the same time as your partner as your muscles contract and pull all the sperm in.. once you have both done your thing you put the cup in and you can orgasm again just to get the little tykes up lol. Sorry if this is too much information I was just hoping this might help someone else.

I hope this is a sticky bean, good luck ladies and baby dust to you all x

Please do!! I hope we are all so lucky this month.

Oh yes, I would love everyone to stick around and hopefully we can all progress together. We all understand each other's anxieties. We should start a group! X

Thanks for the tips Peanut x I worried that sometimes if I orgasm it's like I push all the good stuff back out, there's more mess! I defo think you need to lay there for a good while afterwards though, hips elevated if poss.

Poppie, glad you have af......feels weird saying that! Saw you on the March testing thread, I'm down for 28th at the mo, feels ages away. Wishing you lots of luck

 

[BabyBrain80]

Flou , hope you are doing ok

 

[flou]

Congratulations peanut and of course you should stick around! Ttc after a loss and pregnancy after a loss are so difficult emotionally that you need ladies who understand what you are going through.

Im doing ok ladies after my chemical and thank you for your kind words. Im obviously disappointed but eager to continue to try again. Im thinking of booking an appointment with my GP to mention this loss but also talk through with him any options I have going forward. He's an excellent doctor who knows my history. I have been really busy this weekend celebrating my Mum's 65th birthday. It was a little bittersweet as I was planning to tell her about the possibility of her having another grandchild but it wasn't meant to be. We all had fun celebrating Mum's birthday and DS helped me bake a cake for Nanny. Just hope it won't be too much longer before I get to tell her that she's having another grandchild because she adores DS and would love more grandchildren!

Hey girls! Just popping in to see how everyone is doing.

 

[Poppiebug]

I'm ok, just waiting for this period to end. It's been pretty light really (is that normal after d&c?) and then it's back to the TTC yay! Feeling more positive about things now that it's getting closer. I'll be excited then so scared all over again. Worth it though if it all turns out ok.

Hope everyone else is doing ok??

x

 

[imready4it]

Poppie, my first AF was pretty light after D&C. My dr said to expect it to be that way.

 

[BabyBrain80]

Yeah all ok here, cd8 so just waiting waiting waiting........

Hello ladies! I hope you don’t mind if I join, but it’s a little comforting talking to ladies that have gone through something similar. DH and I are TTC starting this mid th after a loss in July. My body didn’t recognize i was miscarrying and the sac was still growing but no baby. I hope to get a BFP this month and a sticky baby. I’ve had two other miscarriages.

In 2010 I was pregnant with DS and he was born a healthy full head of heart baby boy.

2012- miscarrriage at 10 weeks. Passed on my own but had to go to ER because I was losing too much blood and passing out. I don’t remember much of it.

2013- pregnant again- and miscarriage at 8 weeks d&c

2014- pregnant again- took progesterone as soon as we found out and had a full head of hair healthy baby boy.

HOPING FOR OUR LAST AND THRID BABY

2017- pregnant and D&C due to body not recognizing a miscarriage.

So here I am! Holding onto faith that this time will be it for us and for you ladies! If there are any tips anything at all that could help in maybe possibly preventing this please! I could use all the advice I could get!

 

[flou]

:wave: ANL. I have also had multiple losses and I am currently trying for baby number 2. I had 2 miscarriages at 6 weeks, then had DS. Then another miscarriage at 6 weeks and recently a chemical pg. I hope you get your sticky bfp soon!

 

[Poppiebug]

Hi ANL, so sorry to read your story i hope this is your month too.

 

[BabyBrain80]

Hi ANL, sorry for your losses
I hope you get your sticky bfp very soon! Where are you in your cycle? X

 

[ANL25]

I’m currently on CD12! I don’t ovulate on CD14 like most... but around CD18 but I will be using OPKs to know for sure.

 

[ANL25]

Good luck to you and sorry for your losses

 

[Poppiebug]

Need your opinions, I feel really silly and sorry if this seems like a bit of nonsense but...

I'm a complete POAS addict, I've got about 20 opks (not IC's but the cheapest kit from the chemist - Ovuplan I think it is) ready to go, but I'm thinking maybe I should go get a ClearBlue Digital one as well? We do fall pregnant easily, first try with all 3 pregnancies, even with our angel that we stopped DTD a couple days before suspected Ovulation as we are hoping to sway for a girl using Shettles method. Now having had the loss, I am not AS worried about the sway (although DH still says we should do our best with it) I just want a happy, healthy baby and ASAP. As much as I know you should be DTD every day / every second day in the fertile window I really want to know as accurately as possible. Even though I can feel Ov coming on and I track my BBT, I've never had a whole heap of luck getting a +opk on ICs that I've had in the past.

Anyway.... do I spend the big bucks and get the digital or not? Am I making any sense?? hahah!

I don’t think it’s nonsense! I Know when I “O” for the most part so buying the clearblue just puts me at ease! With all of my pregnancies I never used OPKs and fell pregnant just fine. My last pregnancy I wanted to get pregnant the first month of trying (which I did and unfortunately also ended in a loss) so I tried the clear blue digital OPKs just to put my mind at ease. I don’t think it’s needed but definitely helps when you see a still smiley proving you are ovulating!

How's everyone doing??

Ok i think I'm going to buy the digi opk today lol. Because I'm not 100% sure on my cycle length at the moment I was always fairly regular 28-29 days but if I look at the data from last cycle which, because of the mmc wasn't a normal one anyway, i probably only had a 25-26 day cycle according to my chat. If you take off the "reset" time at the start and the length of the luteal phase etc. Anyway so I took an opk last night (cd7) so i could start a progression, as in the past I didn't really start using opks until closer to like CD12 and the ICs I had never really gave me a positive. It's not really going to make much of a difference I guess in the big scheme of things but because I'm a poas addict I'd like to just see how that line goes and see how it all correlates to the digi.
