Trying before AF?

GL Little J!

CD42 for me and still no AF or BFP!

Hi guys,

I miscarried on 1st May (Start of this month) at around 5 weeks (I only had 5 days of beginning to feel excited that I was pregnant before I lost it).

We started trying straight away, but my first AF after my mc arrived today...I feel strangely relieved though because it's a fresh start for us now and, to the doctors, it'll look like we stuck to their "Don't try for a month" rule! Plus, I get to have my progesterone test on the 21st day of my cycle to hopefully rule out any problems in that area.

So, just for some information and hopefully reassure anyone that's gone through a mc, having a mc for me didn't mess up my cycle at all...I still had a 27 day cycle (Exactly the same as I had before), only I ovulated one day earlier than usual on CD 16 instead of 17...my temperatures also stayed much higher this month than last (It was higher by about 0.4 degrees compared to the last luteal phase, which I see as a more positive thing)...I just guess it wasn't our time!x

Temps concluded I ovulated on the 25th. So I guess I get a *new* two week wait. I'm on day 2. Ahhh!!!!!!! lol I have no idea what's up with those test :/
ANYWAYS How's everyone else???

 

[flapjack10]

Sorry for your loss lpjkp - I hope you get your sticky bean too!

Eeeeek two two week waits! How mean! I wonder if that's what has happened to me too? I don't temp or OPK so who knows?

[flapjack10]

Ordered some OPks for next cycle (whenever that is)!

 

[cathgibbs]

Iv already ordered mine too hun lol! xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Mine should arrive in the post today lol! Although I don't need to start testing for another 4 days do will need to restrain myself lol!

 

[flapjack10]

Yay! Go us! We'll have to let each other know how we get on with them.

I've got the digi ones because I really can't be doing with trying to interpret a line on stick! Had enough of that with HPTs!

I'm skint now though!

 

[baileybubs]

I went for the cheap ones for this month just to see if I can get them to work for me. The problem with the lines on cheap opk's is that the line has to be darker or as dark as the control line to be considered positive, coz we always have the luteal hormone in our system so a faint line means nothing. My problem is I didn't once get a positive opk after my mc and before first AF arrived so I don't know if it's coz the cheap ones don't work for me or whether I just didn't ovulate coz of the miscarriage. We shall see though!! What cycle day are you ladies starting testing? I have a 28 day cycle so I am going to start testing on cd8 which might be a bit early but I don't want to miss it!!

 

[flapjack10]

I think on the instructions it says to start on CD6 so Cd 8 isn't early really and it shows you better progression then.

I don't know when to start. I normally have an average of a 30 day cycle, but this cycle (CD44 today) is pushing the average a bit!

[jaggers]

I'm not going to lie. I hope this its my lucky cycle but I ordered 100hpt and100opk from ebay. It was 26 bucks. I figure that way I'm covered for a LONG time. Makes them 13 cents each! Tomorrow I'm 6dpo and I just might have to test...

 

[cathgibbs]

Hahahahahah i love your honesty!!! you can never have too many hun! xxx

 

[flapjack10]

Yes deffo better to buy in bulk! Even when I do get preggo I'm still going to be POAS all the time to check that the line is still there! So all my ICs will be used!


GL Jaggers if you do test! It's not like you're wasting a test!

xxx

 

[Little J]

im trying to refrain from POAS all the time. I dont wanna freak myself out! I feel like its only going to cause more stress than wanted....

 

[flapjack10]

That's understandable I'm a POAS addict!

 

[jaggers]

You guys are the only ones I can say that to and it sounds like a reasonable idea lol!

Yup we are the BnB sisterhood. No POAS line too faint, no CM too gross! We'll be there!

Hi, I'm new to this forum, on my third miscarriage at 5 weeks at the mo.
Glad I'm not the only one who buys tests by the 100!! I'm in two minds about whether it's a good or a bad thing really to keep testing all the time - it drove me nutty this time round, checking the lines for signs of getting lighter/darker several times a day. Just be careful, the POAS addiction can get out of control!!

Anyway, I've been told to wait for two months before trying again. This month to get the hormones back to normal, and then next month whilst blood tests are carried out. The thought of waiting that long seems unbearable! Any thoughts on whether it is worth the wait or to just keep trying? Not sure I want to go through another m/c.

have they ever done any testing on you thus far?

No, each time I've been to the early pregnancy unit, and the message seems to be "better luck next time". After the current m/c I couldn't take it anymore, and booked to see someone privately, and it is him who has initiated the tests. The NHS is so frustrating sometimes!
