TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April 08 #2

[Jodsan]

Thanks so much girls, you are all so wonderful. Well I found First Response and did it at lunch time and it was definately negative, no strange dots. So at least I know now. I dont need FMU with First Response do I? Should I do another in the morning just to be sure? Kinda dont want to do anymore, I'm sick of it

Have a further question too, what is cervix supposed to be like before AF? Mine feels kinda soft and open, it feels really similar to O time. I have never noticed this before AF before, is it normal 4 days out from AF. I have also had some snot-like CM (sorry TMI). Is this normal before AF? I have tried googling and cant find my answers.

Jodsan, . I have tried googling the same thing and from what I found the cervix can actually be a different positions at different times of the day so they recommend if you use CP to predict O or whatever to check at the same time of day.

I used first response last time I fell pg at 12 dpo in the middle of the afternoon and got BFP. Everyone's bodies are different though but I have had success not using first morn urine. Maybe wait until Tue or Wed to test again. It still could be too early - you never know. I won't say sorry about BFN yet because until af arrives.....

Hello Jodsan..

Unfortunately, I am with the others here...No idea about cervix. Have you tried and OPK to see if you may be O'ing...Also, it can still be too early on the HPT so don't give up until she shows her ugly face! By the way, are your temps still up or have they changed at all?

Good luck and sending lots of Baby Dust your way!!!!!

mmteacher--Just realized your in Arizona, it's nice to know there's someone else in my time zone around here! I find myself waiting all day for everyone is Australia to wake up, since there's a 17 hour time difference! My DF's Nana lives in Phoenix. We visited her a couple years ago and went to Rawhide, it was so much fun! Have you been there?

Hey girls, well another BFN this morning so pretty sure I'm not pregnant. I felt pregnant at 10dpo when I got the faint pos but I haven't for the past couple of days. I was going to go to the Dr to get bloods but have decided not to bc I suspect it was a chemical pg and it doesn't matter what the bloods say now. I'm positive AF is on the way, I've developed terrible PMS symptoms, feel so low and irritable. On top of that now I've got a sore throat and my sinuses really hurt so I've probably caught something off DS again.

With the cervix thing, I used to use a diaphram so got pretty good at feeling my cervix. I have been checking it twice daily, in the morning and the afternoon, it definately changes positions daily but I have never felt it open before except for O time. I am certain that I O'd 13 days ago so I cant have been Oing again. It feels more closed today, very strange!

DH and I are considering taking 3 months off TTC altogher, we just feel like it is getting too stressful and affecting our lives too much. It's been 6 months and my body might just be telling me its not ready yet. Guess I'll decide for sure over the next couple of days.

Thank you all so much for being so supportive, it's really been an awful weekend for me and I really appreciated having your help

Jodsan--When is AF due? (Stay away witch!) Maybe it's still a little too early to tell with a HPT. Can you ask your dr. for a BT? I wish that I could help you with the cervix question, but lol... I've tried to figure out how my cervix feels, and it always feels the same--so I don't even know if it's my cervix that I'm feeling! Open, closed, soft, hard, I can't tell the difference! All I do know is that I feel so anxious for you to find out--going to chew all my nails off! Good luck & baby dust galore coming your way!
