TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 15 - Christmas miracles

@Eastend I hope so!!!
I didn't use opks so have just been trying to dtd as much as possible. Some days every day and some every second. A bit dependent on the holidays and energy levels!! I was pretty sure I ovulated on the weekend and then had no CM Monday or Tuesday but it came back today so hope I wasn't wrong and only ovulated today!! 😣 I hope it works out for all of us, it only takes 1 egg!! 🤞🤞

@UnicornsandRainbows1 doesn't sound stupid at all. My GP hasn't been particularly useful with issues since mc. It's like you mention anything about ttc and they don't take you seriously. I hope the epu are looking after you well.

Should have said am calculating ovulation day by peak hormones on OPK, but as egg is supposed to actually be released 24-48 hours after that so who knows exactly!

Is SMEP really that successful? I’m sure I read somewhere sperm only renews every 2/3 days so DTD every day seems unnecessary. At this point though i’ll try anything! DH doesn’t seem to thrive on the pressure though , we only managed to DTD on the days each side of ovulation day as he was too tired!

I'm worried I ovulated day 16 (as that's what happened last time we got pg) and that we should have DTD New Year's Day as we skipped New Year's Eve due to SMEP but then couldn't be arsed New Year's Day!

Pretty sure I ovulated sat/ Sun too I know i’m nuts to be so hopeful but surely our bad luck must come to an end soon?!

@HoldTightPretendItsAPlan and @DaisyMay25 me too!!! I'm 3/4 dpo (can't decide which day exactly!) and have no idea how I am going to get through the next 9 days!! Ahhh!!

@HoldTightPretendItsAPlan I'm only 3dpo and I'm the same, I swear these two weeks get longer and longer each month! I'll going to put off testing until 11dpo which I know will drive me insane!

Congratulations Dandelion89 and Stowie3012!

I'm 4dpo, feeling like this is the longest tww ever. I'm normally not tempted to test until 8/9dpo, but I'm already sitting on my hands. Any tips?

Bobo I was lucky to avoid surgery after my EP but sounds like it would be worth getting that checked out! Can you call EPU and discuss with them?

I'm after some advice please. Since having my ectopic surgery I started getting alot of back pain in my fw and then right up until af arrived. I never had this beforehand. I had my ERPC on the 12th Dec and started feeling the standard pre ovulation back pain last Wed but now in the last 2 days it is really quite extreme. Hurts when standing and sometimes makes me have to sit down. I don't want to take painkillers just in case the egg caught (think I ovulated Sat/Sun. Not sure if these surgeries do just increase pain or if this is something I should get checked out. Anyone experienced anything similar?

@Unicorns so sorry this is being such a rubbish drawn out process for you!!

@UnicornsandRainbows1 I had a medical management, I don't know if I can help but if you have any questions, I'll try and answer.
Congrats @Stowie3012! Great news
@Eastend2015 thanks for posting the link to the uterus monologues, I read loads of it yesterday and she is spot on.

My rmc consultant has given me clexane (blood thinning injections) to take as soon as I (not that I will) get a positive test. She doesn’t want me to start asprin until I’ve had a scan showing a hb. Advice seems to be conflicting though.

Oh actually, can someone explain baby aspirin to me again as I've completely forgotten. And is it worth maybe trying to get hold of something that adds extra progesterone or something? Is that a thing? I don't want to take any chances next time round :/

@TheGrumpySquirrel I have a rescan on the 8th, then I guess I get put back into the ward's care again for the management. At least I'll learn more next week

@Dandelion89 I'm currently still under the EPU and my GP is a bit of a useless twat so I'm stupidly trying to avoid him.

Thanks for the well wishes ladies. Much appreciated!
Congrats @Stowie3012! That's great news.
@UnicornsandRainbows1 I had the first half of medical management but passed the embryo at home so didn't need to go through the day in the hospital. What has your gp suggested?

So I'm fairly certain this isn't moving (and I have lots of ewcm again - whyyyy?) so I'm thinking I'll need to start looking at my options for my scan on Monday. I'm guessing surgery is out as it seems to pointless to induce the risk of any further scarring with another d&c. And I would hate to have a poor lady have to carry their child for longer than they need to because I've taken a space. I have no idea what medical management is like. I'm at my wits end, I just want a clean state to start from and it's like being near the beginning still. It's ridiculous that something so small can fuck everything up

Congratulations stowie!

bobo yup ditto!

Pretty sure I ovulated on Saturday and I feel the obsessiveness beginning!!! Already counting down until I can test, when the due date would be, next fw etc etc.... ahh why do we do this to ourselves!? How do I switch off my crazy brain??

Congratulations @Stowie3012!!!

@Stowie3012 huge congrats!! Great way to start the year!
