Spring rainbows 2016 - Come keep me company!

Wishing, congratulations! I won't get too gushy as I totally understand that you don't trust it. But really hoping this is the one for you.

TTC, have you tested again? Are you getting darker lines?

Bcos, congrats on cd1! I'd be disappointed as well but at least you know where you are now and can have some sort of normality again.

PinkPetals, here they recommend 5mg folic acid for anyone with a bmi over 30. I'd assume you're far off that? It's a relatively new recommendation and I'm not really sure I think it's necessary. But then some people recommend the higher dose after a miscarriage as well, in case there was a folic acid uptake problem that caused it.

Hi Dolphinleigh! We're probably in a similar situation. I had a d&c last Thursday. Are you going to test at home or just wait for your appointment in February? I've tested already but of course it was still positive. Never been so eager to see just one line.

I think the couple tests I'm getting here and there with darker lines are just differences in the sensitivity between each individual cheapie tests. The FRERs have continued to fade to near nothing.

Can I join!?

Had a mc July last year which turned out to be a partial molar. After being monitored by charing cross for several weeks I was discharged and fell pregnant 3 weeks later....Unfortunately scan on xmas eve showed no HB...I was 9 weeks.. it had stopped less than 24 hours before (I saw HB at 6 weeks). D&c 30th December....fortunately it wasn't another molar. Phew!

Think I ovulated last few days...ish...but didn't ttc as want to give my body one cycle and charing cross want a clear pregnancy test to ensure hcg goes back to normal. Got a negative hpt day 18 after d&c so pretty hopeful for AF to arrive at normal time.

It's killing me missing this month but feel it's the sensible and best option for me x x wishing us all good luck

I have tested already, negative, I was at 1000 hormone level DEC 18 so I think once everything passed I fell quickly, fingers crossed!!!! I will test again on the weekend, then wait until Feb 1 st with the hpt that he hospital gave me to test.

 

[bcos21]

Yup onto a new cycle for me. If I were to fall pregnant this next cycle baby would be due in Oct just like my son lol who knows! Hoping for rainbows for us all

 

[JemmaLouise]

congrats wishing fx'ed it's a sticky bean

hello new joiners, hope everyone is doing alright

tested this morning... BFN

 

[Amygdala]

Sorry Jemma!

Bcos, an October birthday would be nice, wouldn't it?

On a related note: anyone planning on taking a break in March? We've always said we'll avoid a Christmas birthday, just because it's such a busy time already. And now I have a big deadline at the end of March as well so we'll stick with that. But I'm thinking I'll find it really hard to have to prevent, if I'm not pregnant by then. And then there's a part of me that's wondering whether to wait until April altogether. Ah, it's all so confusing. The timing of my last pregnancy would have been perfect.

 

[JemmaLouise]

I would agree with you Amy, a Christmas birthday is not ideal, I will be not ttc then too. But you should do whatever makes you happy, if you want to keep trying to get pregnant in the mean time then why not, but I understand that it would be hard to prevent during that month when all yous want is a BFP any day... at least that's the case here.

do you know your cycle yet or still bit hazy after MC? I am going to contine testing each morning until either AF or BFP

 

[TTC74]

I'm in the same boat - testing daily until AF or BFP.

 

[JemmaLouise]

No fun is it TTC have you bought a load of cheapie tests? I had to when I MC'ed and got tons left I am a bit of an addict when it comes to testing, I am sure when I tested this morning there was a super faint squinter (could have been evap) but unless it's a glaringly obvious line then I'm not getting my BFP hopes up.

 

[TTC74]

Yes. I've got a ton of tests too. And I've still got a squinted left from my MC. So, I'm looking for a darkening of the line. It's maddening!

 

[JemmaLouise]

fx'ed for our darkening lines xxx

 

[TTC74]

Fx indeed! But at 10 DPO, I'm starting to get pessimistic about this cycle.

I feel the same way about my last pregnancy, the time was great. Due in July my son was born Oct 2 so any time in Oct would be OK. I just don't want them to have the same birthday. November is good too but im with you, I don't want a Christmas due date. My husband thinks it's silly but idk I guess we will see what happens. I was on my way to accepting the upcoming changes, now I'm back to worrying how my son will feel about sharing our time lol ugh so silly I know

 

[TTC74]

Am I the only one still waiting on AF from a Dec MC/MMC or are there others?

 

[JemmaLouise]

I am a November MC still waiting

 

[mitchnorm]

Am I the only one still waiting on AF from a Dec MC/MMC or are there others?

Me...but I am only day 20 after d&c.....felt like an extended ovulation. ..loads of cm and pressure down there. Skipping this month.....eagerly awaiting AF....the only occasion I will say that

 

[Amygdala]

I'm technically a December mc but since my d&c wasn't until mid-January, I think I'll have a while to wait yet. Still pretty dark test lines for me so I won't even try again until end of this week I think.

 

[Dolphinleigh]

i am still waitin but the miso pillswere not given until a week ago so i am cd9 well cd10 cause its wednesday now, lol, so just trying to get some bding in but my 2 little ones are against us so FF says o week starts tomorrow dtd sunday so fingers crossed we get some in this week......

 

[Amygdala]

I wasn't going to count cycle days until after my first AF because they're likely going to be all over the place anyway. But now I'm thinking it might give me a bit more of a feeling of normality. So: I'm cd 6 today. I'm not expecting ovulation to be "on time" compared to a normal cycle but I guess it's probably time to start testing for ovulation soon? Those of you who did, when did you start?
