Trying for a 2017 Baby

@Anzel so sorry to hear of your miscarriage and thank you for the welcome. I think my hormones might be a little dodge at the moment, have definitely been a abnormally moody the last few days. My Cycle is however very well behaved - usually runs like clockwork and AF is always only 2 days. So I am hoping that everything is working as it should. I'm trying not to stress myself out too much during the process - but it's hard when there are babies popping out all over the show (my best friend just had a beautiful baby boy - has made me extremely broody). Best of luck TTC though x


My partner and I are not married ( I was married previously but was in a very emotionally abusive relationship and he did not want children at all - but waited until after marriage to inform me). We divorced but I then met the man of my dreams - he showed me love and support that I have never ever experienced and he is so excited to be on this journey with me , we're on the same page, want the same things. I just hope that BFN does come along soon this TWW is a killer

Hi,

@Anzel, i haven't bought any ovulation tests yet, i am still trying to figure out from which day to test but i guess i should just pick some up in the mean time.
My heart really breaks for you but i am praying for a very quick bpf for you and am sending lots of baby dust your way.

@Nikita: How are you doing?

@Liza: Good luck with your sons exams, my daughter is in Gr3 and we are also preparing for exams now.
so sorry AF arrived.

@Megs: welcome! looks like you covered all your basis and the symptoms you are experiencing are so good! think you got it spot on.

@Ayesha: I feel you with the wacky cycles, Joo~ste is right, if you have a 35 day cycle, then it might have been too early to test, maybe hold out a few more days and then test again on Sunday?

@Liza - Wow! That link really spoke to me now...

Hi Joo~ste

That too! truly amazing though hey!
How are you doing today?

HI, ladies

Hope you are doing well!?!? There is a lot of activity on this forum today! Hope I catch all of it!

@Jooste - I was also placed on Ecotrin as well as Progesterone Suppositories when I was pregnant, but it was unfortunately too late. I used it for one day before I miscarried, so now I have the meds for when I am pregnant again. I feel so frustrated today, knowing that there is absolutely nothing I can do to speed the process up or get a speedy BFP. All I can do is do our part when it comes to the BDing and the vitamins, but only God is the giver of life. And I have absolutely no control over this. It's not that easy to give up control, I know. But it's so hard to just sit back and wait. I want to do something to help the process on, but hey, nothing is working... So I guess I'll just have to wait. How long did it take you, on average, to get pregnant again in between your micarriages?

@Thaier - Welcome! Hoping you get a speedy BFP!

@Megs - Welcome to our group! I I am also in the TWW, I think... After my miscarriage a few weeks ago, I'm not sure what is going on with my body at all! EWCM is a good sign! And it looks like you covered all the basis in your BD'ing! Really holding thumbs that you get a speedy BFP! Breast tenderness and headaches can be a sign of ovulation, But it can also be a sign of deurmekaar hormones, so keep a watch out for it! Anyway, I use OPK's and normally get strong positives, but this month is different. I think everything is deurmekaar at the moment - I am no patiently waiting for AF to arrive, so I can start a brand new cycle of TTC. Keep us updated!

@Annabelle - How are you doing? I actually bought some ovulation tests for next cycle, as I am convinced that af will be here soon! Urghh, it sucks. I want to be pregnant again so badly, it drives me insane. Not easy to let go, hey?

@Ayesha - My cycle also whacky, but I think it's due to the miscarriage and D&C - Still waiting for my first af after the miscarriage - Just want to start TTC already. Because I didn't ovulate (Or I think I didn't), I am now impatiently waiting for AF to arrive. I heard it can take up to six weeks!!! I too think you might have tested too early... Give it another few days and test again! Holding thumbs!

@Liza - Welcome back! So sorry that AF arrived - at least you can now prepare for a new cycle of TTC! Good luck with your son's exams! It can be tough - As a teacher myself, I know how stressful this can be on students and their parents. I'll definitely check that link out now!

@Nikita and @Chanti - How are you ladies doing?

AFM, CD20 today. After the pink glob of cm I had on Sunday, CD17, which I thought was implantation, I decided to test for both HCG and LH this morning - Both negative. I don't really know what I expected. I knew from the start that the cycle after a miscarriage everything is deurmekaar and that you can't read to much into the signs and tells of your body. But it is frustrating to know that I now have to sit back and wait for AF to arrive, when she wants to arrive. Normally AF arrives on CD27/28, but I'm not sure what she is going to do this cycle. I which I can just press the fast forward button to AF, so that we can start TTC again. I'll ask my Gynae for Fertomid 100mg again and I have already bought my ovulation prediction kits online, so I'm sure it will be on time. I still have slightly tender boobs, mean headaches and cramping in my lower belly. I am exhausted as can be, and just want to sleep. And I'm a bit irritable - It can be because I am frustrated!! Hahahha! I'm going insane...

Ayesha
Jip - I sure think you tested way too early. I am only on CD28 on Monday and the earliest I have every got my BFP was on CD26 on a digital. So...I am going to test on Saturday morning. Try to hold out until then. My last pg I tested on CD26...got a BFP on a digital - went for bloods a couple of hours later and only found out that my beta levels were 25! So....the digitials can show up positive on a beta level of 25 (I doubt any earlier). You are just throwing money down the drain if you test any earlier.

And....a BFN on CD26 does not mean that you are not pg. During my 2nd MC I had a BFN on CD30 and a BFP on CD31!

Liza
What a wonderful read-
Good for my soul...

Joo-ste, my cycle has gone whacky....my cycle has moved to 35 days now, my period is due on monday....do u think too might be to early?
