    Hi Rachy, I really feel for you - it just feels like another aspect of ttc that you have no control over.
    I had a really early "chemical pg" in April and I was also concerned about how long it would take for me to get back to my usual, regular cycle - but it seemed to re-set almost straight away and I had my next AF 31 days after I first started to bleed. So, a bit longer than my usual cycle, but only by a few days. Since then the cycle has been regular in length but I've stopped all forms of monitoring, so don't really know about ov etc. Before this month, I thought all was back to normal, physically at least, but this cycle I haven't had any of my usual ov symptoms and had some spotting on CD20 so I'm now totally confused! Anyway, back to your issue :) - my experience was that it went back to normal very quickly, and I'll keep my fingers crossed its the same for you.
    xx
    PS - thanks so much for doing the lists Newthrift :) I'm in the tww, but pretending I'm not!

    Well no sign of anything but still BFN which wasn't a shock at all. Normally I test positive early so think I'm totally out or didn't ovulate even though showed positive. Due on today by LP and no sign at all apart from maybe sliightely darker CM so hopefully wont be long. x

    hope all are wel

    Massive hugs to all those struggling. Please keep the faith! It took us 14 months and it still could go wrong...! But I truly believe it will happen for us, even if it's not this time. Stay positive xx

    Thanks for your experience KeeKee :)

    I'm going stir crazy now. I did a First response this morning, BFN, then tonight I've gone and retrieved it from the bin for a look. I know I am nuts. It now has a faint line. So I did another cheapy and that is BFN, no doubt about it.

    I know they say to discard the test and not read after a certain time period - is this why? It could show something inaccurate?

    Or could this be the start of showing up an actual BFP on a more sensitive test (I know the cheapies can be less reliable).

    I have just gone an planned a weekend with wine :o:o

    How many dpo are you Rachy? Mine was showing a VERY faint line from 11dpo on an Internet cheapie - but it did come up in the time. Later lines are likely to just evaps.

    No idea Cats. I have been NTNP since my MMC. I am just waiting for my first AF and this week have had cramps, tingling boobs, frequent urination and have been emotional.

    I am guessing it was just an evap line but nothing is totally clear online. This line is faint pink, not grey which is what people say an evap line is (in colour).

    I am not getting hopes up.

    Oooh that's annoying!! You never know but equally probably the right attitude to assume not. I kick myself now for testing so early as I just started overthinking but it was because I had a boozy night planned. Just look after yourself xx

    I would happily wait longer before testing again but I am planning on drinking tomorrow night so need to be reassured. Either way, I may stick to one glass (the friend doesn't know about either TTC or MMC but may tell her - she's a long distance friend who is visiting)

    Hi Rachy

    My first AF was 6 weeks after mc. Everyone is different but I was told it could come any time but often longer than a normal cycle length. Strangely that was my pre mc average, but all cycles since have been much shorter. I was also told it could be heavier, mine wasn't but first one was longer than normal.

    fingers crossed you get that bfp not AF. X
