November 2018 Testing Thread

[xoxo]

So my BFP turned into a chemical last night. I’m pretty upset as seeing those two pink lines a week ago made me so happy. I kept testing and the frers were always fairly strong and positive however I did a clearblue and it said not pregnant. But then a couple hours later a frer was a strong positive. So I assumed that the clear blue was faulty and I still had pregnancy symptoms. Then last night I got my period. So it’s back to square one. I’m glad we did manage to get pregnant but it’s hard, I’m a realist though and it’s very common but doesn’t make it any easier. I’m not sure if I’ll try next month or have a break. I’m sure I’ll want to but will see. Good luck to everyone else testing for this month and next.

so sorry to hear this. This happened to me in August and it's horrible. Even though you're pregnany for a very short space of time, you start to picture how your life is going to look with the baby in it. Then Bam, the picture changes. Your new cycle has started and time for a new picture. Good luck. Be kind to yourself and be postive

Thanks Princessp. Did your cycles return to ‘normal’ after? I’m sorry to hear it happened to you too. Even though I didn’t dare get my hopes up it’s easy to get excited and picture your new life and you start to feel different and then it’s over so quickly. My husband is really positive and it’s rubbing off on me so that’s good. I know I’ll be ok, it’s just a shock but it’s nice hearing from others who have been through the same situation.

Here’s hoping we all get our new BFPs soon and that they are damn sticky haha

My cycles have been 28, 26 then 29 days long since the chemical. Before I got pregnant I only had 2 cycles as I was/am breastfeeding so My period returned in may after having 2nd baby and I had 2 cycles (31 and 33 days long) and then got pregnant and had chemical so I can't say whether they are back to normal as They haven't regulated properly since they returned so hard to say if chemical had any inpact. I have ovulated every cycle though and the cycle I got pregnant was the only cycle I was trying. Have started trying again this month. This cycle seems to be a long one as I ovulated on cd 18/19 I think.

Oh ok, well the fact that you’ve been ovulating is a good thing. I guess anytime something happens hormonally e.g chemical pregnancy/miscarriage/breastfeeding it might take a bit for things to settle again. My cycles are normally always 28-30 days so I’m hoping the next cycle won’t be a wacky one and my cycles continue to be regular. I’m sure I read somewhere that you’re more fertile the cycle after a miscarriage but who knows if there is any truth to that.

Sending lots of baby dust your way!! And thanks for the advice too

Xoxo I heard it aswell about being super fertile is it after having a baby I guess that was right for my nan because there is exactly 9 months between my dad and my uncle

I'm so sorry. This really is awful and is so hard on you. The same happened to me last month and I felt frozen, literally frozen. There isn't anything I can say to make you feel better right now, I wish there was. I can say that with time it does get easier and right now you have to look after yourself xxx

Ladies don't really want to think to much into this but i had a temp dip quite a bit below coverline this morning at 6dpo. Looking back at my other charts i have never had a temp dip below the coverline in my 2ww.
Last night i also had really bad cramps in my stomach to the point where i had to say 'ouch' it lasted about 15 mins max, had some pains this morning too but now just feeling achey.
I also normally get really sore boobs straight after ov and i have no paint what so ever.
I know its a waiting game and i am really hoping my temp jumps right up tomorrow morning and stays up.
It's so hard not to get excited but i cant help but wonder if i am going to be lucky this cycle x

I think anything that you don't normally see has got to be promising. Hard part now is the waiting!

My cycle was pretty much the same. I ovd a couple of days later but it's hard to know if that's the case because I wasn't exactly sure when to say cd1 was. Reading up, it's more common to fall in the first six months for those who try again quickly compared to those who wait a few months but I guess that depends on how far along people were. If it's close to your normal period then it seems to go back to normal relatively quickly.
I caught this month after the mc last month and I'm further along now than last time. Doesn't stop me bricking it but it's heading in the right direction. X

Thanks Radleycat, that means a lot. It’s good to hear from others who were in the same position. I felt so positive earlier and now I’ve come crashing down and just want to cry and let it all out. I know I’ll feel better soon and I’m always emotional around my period so that doesn’t help. I think it’s hard because I was shocked to find out I was pregnant and then it was a shock when I started to bleed. So it’s just up and down with the emotions.

With your pregnancy this time, did you test early still? My husband doesn’t think we should and that we should wait until my period is late. I think I’d like to do but we’ll see.
That’s interesting about falling quicker in the first six months. I do feel determined to start trying straight away again but going to be even more nervous next time. Of course now I’m worried it’ll take ages to conceive when it didn’t take us long to conceive this first time. I really do need to stop being so down on myself and start thinking positive. Weirdly on the month that we got our BFP, my husband kept saying that he thought that we were gonna get pregnant that month and we did so maybe his positive attitude worked! Lol

Wishing you all the best for your next 9 months!!!

For me, after a week or so I felt I wanted to try again but it was hard, defintely. And then as my ov was later than I thought we didn't bd on ov day so then I was paranoid that we'd missed it but part of me felt I'd feel better next cycle when I knew where I stood again date wise. Then 11dpo my temp went up considerably. I tested just to rule it out with a cheapo and I got a line. Couldn't bloody belive it. I think today is the only day I've not tested since then - total poas addict here now! Last time my temp shot up 12dpo so I tested frer and the line was there but quite feint. I tested again a couple of days later and it was more like a squinter.
It feels different this time and hopefully some decent knitting is going on (if the soreness of my boobs are anything to go by!)

I guess see how you feel, you may want to, you may not. Whenever you feel ready be it this month, the next or in 3 time - whatever you decide is right for you x

ChattyChar, your chart really shows a dip, I hope this is the one for you hun!xx

Xoxo, so sorry about the chemical. I had one too 1 cycle ago. I can't say it doesn't hurt but one person told me it's just a wrong set of cells multiplying and better to have to say goodbye earlier than later. It's little comforting but it's true. It has helped me in keeping away from testing too early. I will only test from missed af date now since I'd rather not know if there might have been a little bean growing in there or not. Sending you loads of hugs hun.xx

A question for the opks testers! I tested in the afternoon and got a peak lh surge, i tested again a few hours later and got an almost positive. But now, I tested before going to bed and got a very low one... Is that normal? I mean, does the lh surge last only a few hours? Can it drop so drastically??

Sending lots of love xx
