So I retested...twice... and they're looking negative. The faint positive I had this morning was with FMU. I'm going to retest tomorrow with FMU. The suspense is killing me!
*excuse the dog hair it's all over my house right now

@hocuspocus: Was there any hold between the tests? I think testing tomorrow with FMU is a good plan!
Unless you wanna try an FRER.....

@hocuspocus: I see a line on all three tests. The test lines on the outer two tests are a bit more spread out than the center test, but I definitely see them without squinting!

@bhbee: Trust me I asked to make sure that was not a high possibility. It's slightly higher with IVF/PGD/ICSI/AH but still super low.
I would fall over and DIE if that happened because 1 more already scares the piss out of me.

@SweetiePie: I hear ya! I'm super scared of that since we're trying for #3 and it becomes more likely as I get older ... wishing you exactly one sticky baby!

I have a confession that I feel like I can make here without being judged. DH and I are in our week of BD where we plan to hit on CDs 9, 11, 13, and 15 just due to work schedules. And maybe more if I feel like my ovulation is delayed since this is my first "normal" month since the loss in May. My confession is that I'm scared. We started trying and got pregnant easily but then had that unexpected loss (no worrying symptoms so it was a shock). I felt totally ready to start again but this morning i feel scared that it could happen this month???? I am surprised by this feeling because I'm usually the "let's go for it - life is an amazing journey" kind of a gal. I assume this fear is normal since we have committed to trying again. It's not that I don't feel ready and want to try again ... so hard to explain so I hope y'all understand what I'm trying to type here. I do hope I join the BFP club with a sticky baby due late March.

@hocuspocus: congrats!!!
@tequiero21: Thanks mama
@MrsJBeeG: After my first loss (missed MC around 7 weeks) I was traumatized. Seriously. Right after I had mupltiple doctors and friends say "you can try again right away and it will be fine" and I was appalled that anyone thought I could just try again right away. I was like "are you f'ing kidding me, I'll never do this again". Literally that's what I said to a nurse, and I didn't abbreviate the F word. Lol.
What it came down to was being scared. I was scared of it happening again and going through the trauma (emotional and physical) again.
That was in late January/early Feb and by April I was itching for it again. I was ready and wanted to try and was surprised I felt that way. I was still scared of course, but it wasn't the dominant feeling anymore.
Anyway I guess just wanted to assure you that it's a normal feeling after a loss and there's no shame in waiting another cycle if you think you'll be more emotionally ready. But diving back in is perfectly normal too.

Thank you everyone!
@patientlywaiting19: fatigue, very light spotting on 6/29, cramping on 6/30, woke up today with a little heavier spotting and a little crampy. I'm a little worried since I'm spotting all over again. Maybe it's implantation still?

Hey all, can I creep in? I've been lurking this board but to gun shy to participate - AF is due July 7th (DS 2nd birthday) and I POAS this morning... are these too light? When do you give in and get a digi/FRER?

@Reese: those are positive! I vote for a frer! those seem normal if you're something like 11dpo
@hocuspocus: sticky baby thoughts for you
cantaloupe / 6086 posts
@MrsJBeeG: it's totally normal to feel scared. Honestly the first month we tried again after this loss the bd was kind of a disaster. It came upon us suddenly that I was fertile (11w loss so wasn't clear when my hcg would drop enough) and we just dove in and it felt all kinds of weird. It gets easier! Although I would also expect post-loss ttc to hold more emotion throughout the whole process than it usually would. Hoping you don't have to wait long

@bhbee: does a FRER have to be with FMU? I should probably wait until tomorrow anyway..
pomegranate / 3521 posts
@MrsJBeeG: I too had an early loss and it really messes with TTC/being pregnant in the early stages. What you're feeling is totally normal ️ Hoping for you

@Reese: on any test you may get a better line with fmu, but I'm sure you would get a second line with even a small hold ... up to you when you want to test! Lots of sticky dust!
honeydew / 7463 posts
@Reese: those look similar to what mine looked like when I decided to also use an frer and got a strong positive on the FRER. I bet you can still get a nice line with a long hold but of course morning is always best.
This pic is right after I dipped the FRER. It got a lot darker even after just a half hour. That's what I posted upthread.

@bhbee: thanks ️ It feels a little surreal to be back on the boards
@SweetiePie: great lines! So exciting. I will see if I have time to stop today.

@Reese: congratulations!! July is shaping up to be a great POAS month!! Sticky baby dust all around!!

@Reese: YAY!!! That's what mine looked like before I POAS a couple hours later and got a positive on a FRER.

congrats to all the BFP so far! July is definitely turning out to be a great month! I have a feeling I'm out this month...I already noticed a tinge of brown in my cervical mucus with a little bit of backache and that usually means my women time is coming. It's due Saturday or Sunday. Hoping for more positive for you all

Finally got a positive OPK today! Looks like my POAS date will be 7/18 -- unless I cave sooner

@Reese: yay congrats! Ours look so much alike. How many dpo do you think? Hopefully see you on the due date board I'm waiting till my beta Friday to join or start anything.
