Trying before AF?

[flapjack10]

First AF after miscarriage, so Im out for trying before AF came but at least I can try after AF. So I guess thats a good thing.
Aww yay Markswife, I hope and hope you get that BFP I see the picture I would wait a day or two and test again to see if the lines isnt so faint my fingers are crossed for you hunny.

Sorry about AF hun, but you're on your way now! Cycle buddies kinda!

Thanks Emmy! OMGosh! I think I *may* have just gotten a super faint BFP! Oh I hope it isn't some stupid fluke or something, the line showed up in the time limit. If this isn't a BFP I'm going to be SO mad!

Eeeep I see it!

Hey ladies, I def. got my Af...this is day 3 if you count the spotting from earlier...still not very heavy but maybe that is normal to have a weird one after a miscarriage?
So we will be trying again in a few days.

Sorry about AF. Yes all my AFs after MCs have been really weird! Different from anything I have experienced yet.

Female bodies, eh?!


AFM - had my hosp appointment yesterday with Recurrent MC clinic. Spoke to a really lovely nurse - I can't describe what a difference it makes when someone takes you seriously! We went through everything that happened and she kept rolling her eyes and huffing everytime I told her about advice I'd been given by previous doctors/nurses. Loved it!

They took a lot of blood. I give blood a lot and I've never felt light-headed or had much bruising, but I felt it yesterday and my arm is black and blue! All worth it though... Get the results on 12th November when I have to go back and meet with the consultant.

I did ask the nurse if we could start trying again and she said, "We normally advise to wait until the blood results." Well, that's not a very strong statement in my opinion and she's only advising not telling... Soooo... I think you know how I feel about this. I'm so impatient!

She also said that when I do get pregnant again I get to have scans every two weeks after I reach six weeks. She then followed this by saying, "I promise we'll get you past five weeks." Seriously, I love her. When we mentioned our holiday in November she said, "Oh, you'll be pregnant by or after then definitely!"

AFM I don't think OH and I can try this month He possibly has appendicitis so although he might want to do I won't let him as it will cause him a lot of pain and I hate to see him in pain

I'm so glad the nurse was so understanding and helpful! It's so much better when your doctor is like that, you just trust them so much more. I love her optimism too!

Sorry OH isn't feeling well. I hope he gets better soon, and in time for BD!

I still have brown stuff totally not normal for me but I suppose mc can do funny things to our bodies! I never usually spot I just start AF, really hope this doesn't go on for 3 weeks like last month!! I just bought a clear blue fertility monitor on recommendation from a friend, I got it second hand of eBay for £40 so I'm pretty excited to use that when it arrives! Anyone else got one? I hear it saves you having to temp cus it monitors your hormones and tells you magical things lol!

I haven't used one, but have a friend with crazy cycles that swears by them. Hopefully this will help you understand your cycles and finding that O time!

Markswife - Any update on your BFP? FX!

 

[markswife10]

I'm still getting lines, but they are still faint. Still hoping and waiting and praying for a darker, definitive BFP in the near future! 10 DPO today...

 

[flapjack10]

Eeeep got pictures markswife? I hope this is it for you!

hi everyone i am back from my holiday. i tried lurking to see what was going in the week but just got so busy that i have now lost track.

I still have brown stuff totally not normal for me but I suppose mc can do funny things to our bodies!

i use the clearblue fertility monitor and it is good.
i havnt used it since the miscarriage as my OH bought some different Cb ovulation tests. but from what i remember you set it when you get it by poas every day so that the machine can read your cycle then each month after that you do aprox 10 test.
you turn the machine on each morning and tells you if you need to poas or not. it is a wonderful little machine as it tells you wether you are low. high or peak fertility.

afm i got af on day 1 of our holiday and it lasted the whole week. TYPICAL hahaha.

 

[xxemmyxx]

Getting scan today and what happens...get my period!! Also typical! Lol

 

[flapjack10]

TYPICAL x2!

[markswife10]

Meh, I'm thinking this isn't it, lines haven't gotten darker (if anything lighter) I've been spotting since last night. AF will likely be here in the next day or two. I guess we'll try again next month.

Sorry Hun yep there's always next month, stay positive xx
(I could see your faint line and I have had the same thing on Internet cheapie's right before my period comes, nothing should come up at all if its negative, such an emotional roller coaster!)

AFM I just had my scan, I was secretly hoping they would find a baby in there but no such luck! Bit depressing really, my ovaries aren't polycystic which is some good news (in your face bitch doctor who called me 'obese') but I still have to have blood tests tomorrow to completely rule out a hormonal imbalance. They couldn't tell me conclusively at the scan I have to see doctor for results but they suspect I have retained products of conception, which totally sucks, it's been over 3 months since my mc!! And emotionally that's not what I want to hear, to go right back to that place when I thought it was over, I feel back at square 1!!
Makes me feel slightly better about not having a positive opk since the mc and probably explains all the brown stuff and cramping! Bit scared about what they are going to do to me now though grrrrr I just wanna try be pregnant again!

hi everyone

emmy and flapjack

emmy, some good news, some not so good huh xo sounds like it's full speed ahead from here

flapjack, thanks for the update, what a lovely medical professional. it really makes a big difference to have someone on your side in this and know they care and are invested like you are

me, i'm a bag of pity party the good thing is i hear being depressed and discouraged about ttc is a possible early pregnancy symptom.

ps. it looks my facebook page has like five uterus's and like ten babies popped out all over my monitor. waaaaaaaa. i want

 

[xxemmyxx]

Haha welcome to the pity party horsey pants! I was eating lots of chocolate but then my friend said to me I'm her inspiration for being so strong and 4 years ago I would never believed I would be happy with a man, a mortgage and good job, amazing friends and that kind of put things into perspective, I still want a baby more than anything but being depressed wont help, easier said than done but PMA horsey


Twister u lurking? Hope your ok, havnt heard from u in a while xx

Thanks hun Everyone else I showed my tests to saw the lines too So, yeah, there shouldn't be any lines if it was negative. Only explanation I can figure is that maybe the hcg of 4 from a couple of weeks before was still lingering in my system causing the "false positives"? Ah well, I'm ready to move on and get preggo on a fresh new month

And I totally understand your feelings, I wanna be preggo again so bad it's crazy! Sorry you're having trouble figuring out what's going on with your body I hope they figure something out!

 

[markswife10]

horseypants, my FB wall has seemed to do the same thing And a lot of them unplanned, which makes it worse

 

[horseypants]
