I think the last thread was full. I hope you all find this one!

Thanks for all that Lisara. All good sound advice. If i'm out this cycle I'm def going to do it.

Glad to hear things are progressing well. I agree about hyper fertility after m/c - that happened to me. I conceived DC2 straight after a m/c. And that m/c was only 12 months after I gave birth to DC1. I think your body gets into a 'mode' once it's been pregnant once. Unfortunately i think it also gets out of it if you leave it too long (in my case now 4 years on after DC2!)

Hi @littlemimosa. I'm good... still nervous and worried but I think that'll stay with me! All seems to be going ok so far.

I think the trick with temping is not too think too much about the individual days as the daily tempreture can jump around a bit... it's to look at the pattern over the whole month and over a couple of months. Once I looked at the pattern, I could clearly see ovulation... doesn't help that month as by the time you've seen the rise ovulatuon is gone but it does show you that you ovulated. Tie that in with CM and the fertility friend ap... and you'll see what you need to. It is stressful at first, you get used to doing it and it becomes easy and useful.

It was dtd when I had ewcm that worked for me... and I'm sure this pregnancy is down to the hyper fertility after the miscarriage...

Lisara - I temped one cycle a while back and it looked 'normal ' i.e. I could clearly see ovulation rise etc but I've not done it since as I find it a bit stressful. But I think I'm going to start again next cycle. You've inspired me to. How you feeling by the way?
Sarah - a three tier wedding cake sounds stressful! Let's hope you'll be pregnant by then....
Melody so glad you loved the reflexology. I'm there tomorrow and am looking forward to it. It's v relaxing isn't it.

RhiBee29 · 15/08/2017 07:15

Glad you enjoyed @Melodypond17. Sounds like you're covering all bases this month!

Melodypond17 · 14/08/2017 22:11

I can't remember who said about reflexology and ttc, but I had a session today and it was so good! Really feel-stressed me just in time for ovulation on Wednesday (probably)

Between that, doing the SMEP plan and some fertility lube, I'm really hoping this might just be our month! xx

@Sarah2209 give me wine & chocolate over dtd any day!

Sarah2209 · 13/08/2017 18:00

Oh I see.... HaHa.... I thought you meant drinking..... dtd and wine do seem to go hand in hand don’t they..... sometimes though I just prefer the wine Grin

Have a lovely time as a bridesmaid.... x

RhiBee29 · 13/08/2017 17:29

Haha @Sarah2209 I meant I was avoiding dtd as not ideal to get pg this month, I'm a bridesmaid on Thursday so lots of Wineand then we go to Disney Paris 1st September for a week. I'm sure I'm not that lucky to accidentally fall pg!

Sarah2209 · 13/08/2017 17:12

Sorry - that was meant to say Most pregnancies not post...... Blush

Sarah2209 · 13/08/2017 15:16

Easily done RhiBee.... |I always try and avoid it but sometimes it’s hard not to and as my friend pointed out to me when I had a glass the other day.... post pregnancies happen because of drink and they’ve no idea their pregnant Wink haha...

RhiBee29 · 13/08/2017 14:13

Period Tracker says I ovulate today but Ovia says Wednesday so not sure. Accidentally dtd last night...too much red wine 🙊 was trying to avoid it during fw.

Sarah2209 · 13/08/2017 13:08

Hi little mimosa - in the same boat as you this month. We only managed the baby dance once this month.... and I haven’t temped or charted this month. Don’t feel anything so another month gone.... :(

I’m CD 24, 8 dpo and AF is due next Friday.... nightmare as next fertile window is smack bang in the middle of me making a 3 tier wedding cake for a friends wedding....!!! Stress..... and usually I’m so tired after all that icing and decorating! Oh well..... just have to get on with it.

So, so pleased to see a bfp on here though Lisara..... so made up for you. Hope your feeling ok and all the other ladies.

do you temp @littlemimosa? it has been the most useful thing I do... told me when I ovulated and (turns out) when I conceived... you'd know if you'd ovulated at least and could give you piece of mind. x Tests are never a bad thing, results may be hard to take but IF they were worst case, that's no worse than monthly disappointment in the long run.... and the news could be positive!

@lisara79 - wow you're so strong not to have told DH yet! Good on you. Glad to hear you're feeling a lot more positive this time.

I'm fine thanks. On about CD 22/23 so AF due middle/end of next week but i'm certain i'm not pregnant. Strange cos I'm usually full of hope at this stage but I think i didn't ovulate (AGAIN). I'm going to be brave and get my scan and blood results in the next week or two. Am dreading bad news but feel i need to know now. Sigh.

How's everyone else? Quiet on here...

Thanks @littlemimosa!! I'm fine... still lots of period type cramps but nothing too serious... I'm feeling quite positive but crossing my fingers until Monday as then I will have passed where I was before. I've done another test since and is still dark... both tests have been much darker than they were last time so all looking positive. It's just so difficult not telling anyone! I'm going to tell DH next week (after date has passed) and family after iv e seen doctor - just want some reassurance. I worried a lot last time. I feel less vulnerable this time so hoping that's a good time. How are you doing?

Thanks @melodypond17. @ladybirdno1 that's makes me 4w5d today.... symptoms started about a week ago (I was denying it to myself) and included lots of wet cm, period type pain, mild headaches and a feeling of being really aware of my uterus as it felt like a ball in my abdomen. My boobs are not really sore, not more than normal anyway. I also got more spots about 10days to a week ago.

Lisara79 so how far along does that make you and now you know are you noticing any symptoms? Try to stay relaxed as much as possible, sending you positive vibes x

Melodypond17 · 09/08/2017 23:37
