First cycle trying after MC. AF/BFP due Wednesday 15th....too nervous for words!

I started this same thread in December and was lucky enough (after 7 months!) to get pregnant with our first. Unfortunately I had a mc just before Christmas at 5 weeks. Cycle was a bit erratic at the start but looks like I ovulated at my normal time and BBT has risen. I'm almost certain I won't be lucky enough to get pregnant straight away after mc but I thought starting a thread like last time might help!!

Tutti....I'm 40 as well!! I'm definitely not past it....well not just yet anyway! That might be because I don't have any kids unfortunately so I can't afford to allow myself to believe i'm too old.

Stick with me....you're not too old!

You are lucky to have a healthy boy but there's no reason why he can't have a healthy brother or sister. You're not being selfish! Don't think that!!
As for your eggs....who knows....i'm hoping mine aren't all wizzened up (don't know what that is but it sounds bad!).
Be positive and think about the joy another little bundle will provide you all.

I am having a mild panic tonight ....

Am I not too old ... I am 40 ....

Are my eggs not all wizzend (sp)

Am I not 'past it'

Am u completely mad to think of ttc when I have (luckily)a fit and healthy 8yr old ds

Are we being selfish .. Just his it's what WE want ....

SwedeAway · 23/01/2014 12:43

It's like that, once you start ttc it becomes an obsession!! Fx for an egg for you today.

Tutti · 23/01/2014 12:26

lol swedeaway

well I have got a very gripey belly...hoping its that lovely egg getting ready to pop and meet its new friend!!!

I can't believe how badly I want to be pregnant ...if you had asked me 3 months ago I would have looked at you like you were a loon!!

SwedeAway · 23/01/2014 11:39

Hurrah, we can have a POAS party then Baxter and Tutti!

Tutti- 2ww is usually looooooooooooooooooooooooooong but easier when you share it with others for sure.

Baxter2014 · 23/01/2014 09:22

SMEP told me to test on 3rd Feb so looks like we are all around the same time!

Tutti · 23/01/2014 08:55

sounds good to me swedeawaySmile

never done a 2ww...

SwedeAway · 23/01/2014 08:30

Tutti - We can have the 2ww together then. I am due AF/BFP on the 4th and you on the 6th so perhaps POAS around the same time:).

Tutti · 23/01/2014 08:01

morning!

so I just managed to delete my whole month of data on fertility friend!!!

Oh well I know we are doing it 'right' but what a mare ...I will just have to redo it.

So according to the app and it predicted I would ovulate around now...I can expect bfp or af 6 feb....

but we got a whole lot of fun before thenGrin I had better get my bfp!!!

SwedeAway · 23/01/2014 07:20

Yeay Tutti!! All systems go for you then!

Baxter, looks like you are putting in the effort. It will pay off, I am sure!

Angel, when do you expect your BFP?

Baxter2014 · 22/01/2014 22:57

Will do. On the day off before DTD one last time. Managed to stick to the SMEP so far so done all we can.
Really pleased for you and you positive OPK tutti looks like it's all settling down and getting back to normal.

Here's to a wonderfully fertile month and plenty of BFPs all round come Feb! Xx

Tutti · 22/01/2014 21:05

I got a positive opk !!!!!!

Here's to a busy few days!!!!!

SwedeAway · 22/01/2014 15:13

So we dtd yesterday and the day before. I am sure I Ov'd yesterday, could really feel it which I usually do. Not going to dtd anymore this cycle, think we have done enough considering this WTF cycle and think my gyno is right when he says the swimmers can get lazy if you dtd too much. So I am officially in the 2ww, it's going to be a long wait. If my cycle behaves like normal (wishful thinking) then AF/BFP is expected on the 4th Feb.

Tutti · 21/01/2014 20:19

angel thanks for the positive words....

I just want it to work ..as we all do...
this thread is helping loads... I know I can come on here and have you guys going through the same ...

Great news Swede.....fingers crossed!
And Baxter you've done everything right....let nature take it's course. And if it doesn't then I'll be gutted for you too!!
Tutti...it is hellish, just try to think of the next BFP you're going to get because you will. Be positive.
Keeping everything crossed...apart from the obvious!....for you all. My next BFP is arriving 16th Feb. We are convincing ourselves it's our Valentine present to each other!!

Oh baxter its frustrating isn't it?

we are following smep...but as yet no sign of ovulation..but I also am vv impatient...I just 'need' to focus on ttc ..it takes my mind away rom the shock and disbelief of my miscarriage [I feel like the cruelest trick was played on me ....it was a totally unplanned preganacy, was in shock and kind of could not get my head round it then did, became super excited...for it to be taken away..its just hellish] I still get upset and also quite angry at the unjustness of it all....

Sorry it appears to be a day for rants Blush

Baxter2014 · 21/01/2014 17:30

I feel like this is the first cycle I have done everything by the book - I have tracked my ovulation, I have DTD as per the SMEP, I'm taking my folic acid/vitamins and I am feeling positive about the whole process. All that plus the supposed increased fertility after MC.

I am trying not to get my hopes up but I feel I will be bloody disappointed if this doesn't work now I am trying so hard! I know deep down that this will happen for me relatively soon but I am the most impatient person on the planet and want a BFP NOW!!

I think I have always managed to find some excuse as to why it didn't work before (too stressed, not knowing when I ovulate, using flaming KY Jelly for 4 months :/ .....) now I have no excuses and am just down to the 25% chance of conception. I dont like not being able to control this but I suppose I have done all I can and now I have to leave it to nature/God/chance

Aghhhhhhh roll on 3rd Feb. Am I going mental? Sorry for the rant ladies. I am feeling positive, honest!

SwedeAway · 21/01/2014 07:55

Thanks guys. Went straight back on it last night. Poor DH, I think I have worn him out with dtd:)

Baxter2014 · 20/01/2014 23:49

Hurray! Get doing it!! ??

Tutti · 20/01/2014 21:15

Swedes that's great!!!!!SmileSmileSmileSmile

SwedeAway · 20/01/2014 16:47

Just got a smiley on my opk, over the moon! Dtd for the next few days for sure!

Baxter2014 · 19/01/2014 13:42

swede its totally rubbish. Patience is a virtue I know I definitely dont possess. You will get back to normal eventually just try and stay positive if you can.

I just got a positive OPK so I am really pleased - know it doesn't guarantee an egg will pop out but i'm back to normal as far as my cycles go and now we can get on with smashing this SMEP - 3 day straight -DTD thing and see how we get on.

Fingers and toes crossed for us all!!! xx

Tutti · 19/01/2014 10:05

Oh and just keep dtd...xx
