Fingers crossed guys AF stays away for you and positives are on the way. Before my mc I knew I was coming on my AF and it didnt arrive back cramps mood swings tummy pains I took cbd and came back pregnant 2-3 weeks nearly feel off the toilet seat haha so good luck xxx

I think (no temping or anything fancy like that) i am 11 dpo and getting my usual pre period spots. AF due on Sat so feels like I might be out this month, boo.

FlatWhiteToGo · 27/05/2015 07:18

Oh no! Well I guess no symptoms is better than imagined symptoms! I think 10 DPO is about the earliest you can test. I can't comment on the success rates as I've never had a BFP. Maybe get some ICs so you don't waste too much money? Also, if it's bad news, which upsets you more: AF or a BFN? I always find AF worse as I have no control over when and where I find out...but most people on MN seem to find BFNs worse! Oh good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed. Will you test the end of this week/weekend then?x

Vap0 · 26/05/2015 22:44

Sorry to hear about these miscarriages. So incredibly sad.

flat it's all gone a bit boring here, tiredness has gone and no symptoms at all! I want a symptom!! 5dpo. Can't wait to poas!
What's the earliest you can test again? Is it 10dpo? Or later?

pingoose · 26/05/2015 22:28

sampypants I geek out about temping too! I've never paid this much attention to my body before!

FlatWhiteToGo · 26/05/2015 22:21

Welcome to all the newbies waves at everyone I'm so sorry to hear about the miscarriages. My heart really goes out to both of you. You're so brave for carrying on and starting over x x x

Vap how is life in the DPO brigade and the obsessive symptom spotting? Are you still feeling really tired? I hope this TWW hurries up for you as it's the worst time!

As for my op (assuming they go down this route), it can assist conception as it 'clears the way' and there are no additional risks if the op is a success. The risk comes if the endo is excessive and they need to cut/laser loads out and end up damaging important parts (ovaries, fallopian tube etc) along the way. Arghhhhhh.

I am 29 hun I have 2 DD's one 5 and one 2. Had three mc's one before my 5 year old at 5 weeks then one after 5 year old at 7 weeks now this one I had last week at 13 weeks :(. Both my DD's are premmies as well my 5 year old was born 32 weeks gest and my 2 year old was born 27 weeks gest the youngest now has cerebral palsy due to a brain bleed at birth where she was so tiny nearly lost her so I am truly blessed already. Always wanted 3 children at nice age gaps.

Luckily was seen by a consultant before I had this mc and was told my premature births were caused by a weak cervix so will need a stitch at 16 weeks and there's no reason now I wont be carry a full term baby.
So had a rollercoaster ride really hun. So now im back on board and TTC again so this is my first cycle after mc so no idea of ovulation and af I can only go by what they told me and that was take my first day of my period on my d+c which was last Sunday they said I would bleed for 5-6 days like a period and I did and there was no reason why I couldnt try straight away.

So heres hoping we get our positives this month be lovely to be testing with somebody :)

VioletIbiza88 · 26/05/2015 16:11

Keys My last AF was 20th May so due another one on 17th June which is when I'm planning to test. I'm 27 and on my 3rd cycle ttc#1. How about you? These threads are great for meeting people who will be testing about the same time. Good luck!

keys27 · 26/05/2015 15:39

violet omg yea your right I didnt even think of it being that long but now counting this is why it was not adding up. I only stopped bleeding on Saturday but been getting pains on my right side and boobs are a little sore which were always my signs ovulation was near. So I better dtd as much as I can and hope for the best. That must mean same for you as well hun? We will be testing together. I wish you all the best for a bfp this month x

VioletIbiza88 · 26/05/2015 15:33

Hiya keys I'm also due AF on 17th of June if I have another 28 day cycle. Without using opk's and temping to confirm it you cant accurately pinpoint when your most fertile days will be. You could estimate ovulation roughly by taking 14 days away from your expected AF date, which would make Wednesday 3rd June your date of expected ovulation. Then your most fertile days would be Monday 1st to Wednesday 3rd June. But off course you could ovulate a little earlier or a little later than that.

Just read your posts back and realised that there are 31 days between 17th may and 17 june. So if your expecting a 28 day cycle you won't be expecting AF on 17 june?

So if your AF is due 14th June then your most fertile days working it out the same way would be 29-31st May, with 31st been posible ovulation date.

So putting all that together I would dtd as much as you can between 28th and when DH goes away.

keys27 · 26/05/2015 15:08

:). This has made an interesting read the last half hour. Learning alot.

Guys just want to ask your advice. I mean this cycle is obviously not going to be like a normal cycle. However if my d+c was on Sunday 17th May they said take that as your first day of your period. I bled for around 5-6 days normal for me on my AF. Now saying this is a normal cycle for me 28 days when are my most fertile days? I am worrying a little as OH goes away on the 4th June until 9th. I am worried that's my window.

sampypants · 26/05/2015 14:09

It really is - I feel like I'm back at school learning all this new stuff.

Welcome keys27 Smile

keys27 · 26/05/2015 14:01

Hi guys can I join you all pleased. Im on my WTF cycle after having a d+c last Sunday (17th May).
Stopped bleeding saturday but been feeling the real need to dtd constantly not just because I want the pregnancy again so bad but I just feel so close to OH since losing the baby makes me even more ready to fall again. According to my normal cycle im most likely to ovulate between 28th May and 2nd June. Hoping this is right as OH will be away 4th-9th June. My next AF is due 17th June.
Keeping everything crossed (except the legs Blush.

Good luck guys looking forward to riding this journey through with you all.

smellsofelderberries · 26/05/2015 13:05

Isn't it fun, Sampypants? I'm really enjoying temping. Amazing how much you can learn about your body by doing it!

sampypants · 26/05/2015 12:34

Back again to check in with everyone. Still a little way off ovulation, am not finding this wait as bad as the TWW.

Only had a two day AF last week, and suffered with a lot of migraines (4 in a fortnight during TWW and AF, usually get one a fortnight), so I'd convinced myself that maybe I was pregnant after all. A test quickly closed that one down!

So that'll teach me. Starting to monitor BBT now, this is right up my nerdy street I have to say.

smellsofelderberries · 26/05/2015 10:47

Suz, I had metallic taste at 7, 8 and 9 DPO last cycle. Wasn't pregnant. I was excited about the taste as I've not had it before ever, but then I had a lot of spotting a few days later which turned into my actual period. I hope that's not the case for you.

If I ovulate when I'm supposed to this month I'll be 10DPO on Father's Day. Fingers crossed I ovulate slightly early and have the chance of a BFP on Father's Day. I would really, really love that.

MyNameIsSuz · 26/05/2015 06:41

Thunder, sorry you've been through mc too, it's awful isn't it.

Just checked my diary and this month has gone quicker than I thought, I'll be ready to test on the 7th! Wahey. Despite being absolutely certain yesterday I was ovulating, and still am really, those few extra days have got me symptom spotting like crazy! Metallic taste anyone??

Rachelc82 · 26/05/2015 05:18

Thunder I'm sorry about your miscarriage such a painful experience I imagine. It would be nice to support one another through our journeys how long have you been TTC

thundernlightning · 26/05/2015 00:45

Vap0 I think it's basically impossible not to symptom spot!

Rachelc82 It'd be the first for us too. I had a very early miscarriage some years ago (5 weeks or so), but for the most part… I have no idea what I'm doing (story of my life, really). We can be baffled together Grin!

Ladies, I'm SO tired. Today I almost set the kitchen on fire because I forgot what I was doing on the stove. I really hope I'm pregnant; then I can blame my exhaustion/forgetfulness on that!

Rachelc82 · 25/05/2015 23:28

Thanks suz that has given me hope. Iv not been pregnant before so I don't know what signs to expect. Fingers crossed for you too. It really helps having people to talk to about it as me and dp have been trying for 10 mths now and haven't told anyone that we are ttc.

Vap0 · 25/05/2015 23:20

goose when will you be poas? You'll have to keep us updated Grin
rachel I think sore boobs is one of the most common early symptoms, unfortunately it's also an early sign of af too. If the pain is on the side and going up into your armpit I think that is far more likely to be a pregnancy symptom than an af warning. Where is the pain?

louwn · 25/05/2015 22:55

Trying not to symptom spot here (9 dpo but only first cycle so would be very lucky!).

pingoose · 25/05/2015 22:46

Vap0 we've got the same AF due date - also don't have sore boobs :( Promised DH I wouldn't symptom spot, but can't help it!

MyNameIsSuz · 25/05/2015 21:55

Rachel, I think that sounds like a good sign! I meant it's too early for me, I think you're a week or so ahead Smile. Fingers crossed for you!! I've been pregnant twice now and tender boobs were the first sign both times for me.

Rachelc82 · 25/05/2015 21:17

Thanks vap is sore boobs really a good sign?
