TTC #6

[ScoutFinch]

Thank you, I don't know how exactly to move forward right now. I know it was super early but I was still so excited and that little poppy seed was so very wanted.

Just take it each day as it comes lovely. Take the time you need and look after yourself x

 

[CallMeHollywood]

Have you guys seen this before? My lines have crossed again. I’ve been keeping an eye on the community boards but not seen anyone else’s do this

i don’t know if I’m imagining it but my sense of smell is really strong at the moment.

 

[Nayalove96]

Just nervous as I only had a misscarriage 2 months ago and I didn’t even get a positive until like 2 days before my period last time!xx

 

[ScoutFinch]

My sister had eczema that cleared up now she is pregnant. I hope this month is it for you

I’m back at acupuncture today. This months period lasted for 4 days instead of my usual 2 so I’m hoping that something positive is going on in there! Counting down the days until 28th when I’m back at the fertility clinic.

BFN this morning Still no AF but assume it will appear at some point today.
My partner and I had stopped trying so intensely at the start of the year as I started a new job and wanted to focus there for a while, and we just decided to not prevent and see what happened. Really was hoping I wouldn’t have to go back to tracking and OPKs as it caused a lot of stress (as u all know).
Luckily I’m off work this week to enjoy the sun and I’m going to allow myself a day to feel sad and eat chocolate then get back on the horse as they say

I'm in the same boat as you, I started a new job in March and haven't been tracking/actively trying either but still hopeful lol. Enjoy the sun and the chocolate

Does anyone else contemplate doing a pregnancy test and then quickly goes and wees just so you have wasted your first days wee and feel like you can’t test until tomorrow? Then repeats the same thing again? Or just me
10dpo and time is dragginggggggggg

 

[Heyguysswipeup]

Hey guys! 8dpo here and I’ve done a test today abs it’s negative! Am I out this month?

Absolutely not! You’re not out until Aunt Flo is here. According the link above you have an 81% chance of testing negative at 8dpo even if you are pregnant so just wait a few more days

I feel your pain with that. Both my brother and nephew ended up getting girls pregnant accidentally - well, as much as it is an accident when you're unprotected My 25yr old brother has sorted himself out now, is in a relationship with the mother and my niece is 18mths old. But my nephew is 19, unemployed and mixed up in all kinds of trouble and the baby is due in August. So it really boils my piss that I'm 33, married and financially responsible and was having to pee on sticks not knowing my arse from my elbow. Good luck to you, we got our BFP in March and now I'm pretty much a bag of anxiety every day

very frustrating how some people seem to have it so easy I hope your nephew gets his head together soon

congratulations on your BFP !!!! Hopefully we will all be joining you on that journey soon

I’ve just got back from my scan which has confirmed a chemical pregnancy. The nurse told me to wait two weeks for a negative test then can’t try again until I’ve had a period. However, I know people who’ve conceived two weeks after a MC or CP, so why is it that they advise against it?

She also said I’m able to use progesterone pesseries next time to help make the pregnancy stick - has anyone here used these? She said there was no negatives, only benefits.

Thank you x

So sorry, I had a chemical myself in June. We were advised we could try immediately so we did and it didn’t happen this time so now onto this month

I wasn’t offered any pessaries but after doing research it seems chemicals are very common and many women go on to have successful pregnancies so hopefully everything will be ok

If you feel ready to try immediately go for it! Hope you are ok.

Thought I’d try a test as I’m 8 DPO but it’s a BFN at the moment might still be too early but I don’t think it’s a goer this month sadly but we live in hope

Most likely too early, don't give up yet

 

[Gossipgirl79]

I don't even know when ovulation is without tracking. It varies cycle to cycle x

My doctor suggested sex every 2-3 days the whole cycle then you know you’re covered without tracking. We aim for every second day.

 

[Cotton3112]

AF arrived today.. 2 days early
Out for another month!

 

[CallMeHollywood]

This is me today. 11DPO, used a clear blue to see if anything came up but no. I hoped too hard for a positive after my chemical last month, nevermind.
Did yours ever materialise @rulebreaker101 ?

Hello again, CD1 interestingly, this month felt very different to last month when I actually was pregnant very briefly. I think I know what to look out for next time.
We’re out of town staying with my parents next fertile window so that should be tricky!
Hope we’re all well.

 

[CallMeHollywood]

Well I’m having a chemical. My tests are still a faint positive but I’m bleeding like a period and I have horrific cramps. The pain is so intense. Am I best riding this out or going to the doctors for advice? I’ve never been through this before so unsure how to move forward. I just never thought it would be this painful! @CallMeHollywood I know you have just been through the exact same as me with the faint positives on the easy@home tests and I completely sympathise with you. It’s awful. I hope you’re holding up ok.

Now I’m worried how this will affect my TTC journey, I just want some luck!

I’m sorry love, I know how you’re feeling. I wouldn’t bother with the doctors, I didn’t last week. If I hadn’t been tracking, I would’ve put it down to a horrible period My doctors literally text me last week to say they don’t have any appointments, so I just didn’t bother. Hot water bottle, paracetamol and a nice bottle of wine is the ticket to making it feel a little better. For info, this is my chart currently:

It hasn’t changed as it’s not technically a miscarriage. I can let you know what happens with me LH and BBT levels in the next few days if you like? I put a poll on premom asking if anyone had issues with their next month and here were the results:

You will be fine x

CD1 as well. Here we go again.

 

[Pinkpascal]

Still no AF, was due on Sunday and has a BFN yesterday.

 

[Pineapple55]

Sounds like lots of you have got promising symptoms, fingers crossed for you all I'm 4DPO, nearly time to start testing too early

 

[Pineapple55]

CD17 for me and not had a peak yet, wondering if I might have missed it? How long does a peak tend to show on strips?

I thought this then got my peak on CD19!

 

[ChickenPorridge]

I am going insane. AF due in roughly two days. Was convinced it was starting yesterday morning as I had like 1% period (think what it's like on the very, very last day of your usual period - not red, barely anything at all) so I went through the feelings of anger and disappointment but then - nothing! The whole of yesterday and so far this today, nothing more. This is not usual for me, I'm not a spotter. My period starts when it starts and that's it. Now I'm back to wondering 'what if' and I'm too scared to take a pregnancy test until my period is officially late. I hate this

 

[Nayalove96]

Absolutely not! You’re not out until Aunt Flo is here. According the link above you have an 81% chance of testing negative at 8dpo even if you are pregnant so just wait a few more days

That makes me feel so much better! I had a misscarriage 2 months ago so I feel so much more nervous this time around
