TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

Thanks @Boboelephant I'll try my best to hold off! X

@HidCat ooh hopefully they are a dodgy batch and you get two lovely lines on Wednesday!
@MrsLCW I'm sorry for your bfn. I think if you can you should try and wait until at least Wednesday before testing again. Bfns are so awful to see.
@strawberrye sorry you think it might have been an anovulatory cycle. Do you want to post your chart?
@MrsGS76 I hope it's a good cycle for you! If you are going to try the pineapple they recommend it from 1dpo to 5dpo and you have to eat the core. I don't mind it but lots of ladies hate it! I just take a bite of the juicy bit after the harder core. I'm cd17 today and got my positive opk so should ovulate tonight or overnight . Short surge. I temp so fx for a temp raise in the morning!
@Pancakes7 glad the wedding was fun. It takes a while to heal but time really does help. Try and take the work return slowly and don't be afraid to take a minute when you need it. Also I got my negative hpt 2 weeks after my ERPC.
@hellotoyellow fx! When will you test?@KeefBurtain, @MrsGS76, @Blondcat and @RedRobin7 good luck with the upcoming fertile week! Get your sexy knickers on if those fellas are claiming tiredness! 😉

I've completed a bit of a jks record breaking marathon over here- 10 times in 10 days. Let's hope it does the trick hey??

@Anyday88 I hope your holiday and DD's birthday were awesome and good luck back at work. Fx for this cycle too. Try and hold out a few more days! The fake negatives aren't worth the heartbreak!
@Jessabean so sorry af got you and that you will be out for awhile. It could be the break that you need though to give your body and mind a break. I've put in a big effort this month to have less stress and more relaxing time for myself and it feels great. This has been a long journey for me and may be even longer so I've decided it's really important to not miss everything else. Definitely stick around and let us know how you are! Hopefully hear good news from you on a couple of months!

Sorry I've not been on for a few days- been non stop since Wednesday this week & have only just had a chance to properly catch up & reply.

Thank you everyone for your supportive posts on Tuesday. I'm definitely out this cycle unfortunately - AF arrived Thursday. Not sure if might have been a chemical as was a very heavy period for me and defo had pregnancy symptoms last weekend and beginning of last week which seemed to slowly fade. 🤷‍♀️ Will be not TTC ing till August now probs- maybe July if I'm lucky as OH is working away but will keep in touch and see how your all getting on if ok?

@KnitKitty I'm so sorry lovely. It's just so heart breaking when this happens. I also feel I have learned my lesson this time and will try and be stronger in not testing so early next time we try. It is just so difficult in the tww too though! How are you doing today? Hope you have lots of nice things happening to distract/treat yourself with.

Caught up with a lot of old close friends at mates wedding yesterday which really helped me. Also made some big decisions re:work and trying to reduce my overall stress for the next year or so which is making me feel a bit more in control/less stressed with things.

@RedRobin7 I hope Canada is amazing! I know you'd rather just not be on holiday and still be pg but try & see it as a great experience you'd not have had otherwise. And hopefully should leave you nice and chilled for TTC this cycle. Fingers crossed for you!

@strawberrye my temps have been all over the place since my mmc in March too (mc 2). Not sure if means maybe my hormones are not quite settled to normal routine yet🤷‍♀️

Good luck to those in TWW. 🤞for you all. Welcome to those of you who have just joined- sorry your here but this is a great supportive hub/huddle! 🐧 & sorry to those for whom AF has arrived that I've missed! Xxx

@Blondcat , yep so far DH is on board and aware he's in for a busy week! Fx for you too! Xx

Sorry for the double post! Connection issue!

@Anyday88 I've been exactly the same since my mc. Currently 11dpo with just BFN on cheapies. Going to hold on until Wednesday and test with. A FRER if my period is a no show.

@Anyday88 hi I'm thinking 3dpo but not confident this month

Totally out of the loop after getting back from holiday and then celebrating my daughters 3rd birthday and going back to work after being off with the mc.

How is everyone?

Congratulations to all the bfp’s really sorry to those having a rubbish time!

I am currently 6dpo and it seems so tough this time I don’t know why! Each day I seem to be battling with the ridiculous idea of testing 🤷🏼‍♀️

Where is everyone else now in their cycles?

@mrsgs76 and @keefburtain I am also on cd 7 so we are all going to be busy this week! (as long as our dh/dp's are on board ) good luck ladies x

@KeefBurtain , good luck to you too this week! JKS all the way, I'm all prepared for this week ahead, white knickers, best behaviour, positive attitude and pineapple! And off course OPK's !! X look forward to hear how you are getting on this week x

@MrsGS76 I’m cd7 today too - just finished my first period since the mc. I was going to wait until cd9 to start opk-ing but did one this morning which was quite dark but not quite a +tive. I’ve always had 27 day cycles but the gynae nurse did say that they could be different now.

@Pancakes7 glad to hear you had a fab wedding, from dancing the night away to baby dancing soon ! Fx
@RedRobin7 fx from your DH being on board this week. I'm CD7 and looking at prev preg (which resulted in MC) I'm 99% sure we conceived on the 12 day. So fx for me too that my DH is on board this week. I've just had some pineapple, forgot how lovely and juicy it is! Xx
Happy baby dancing everyone!

Thanks for the anniversary wishes 😊

Flashing smiley on my digital today and very very faint line on the IC. Sometimes this still means I'm several days away so still unsure what day it'll be. We haven't DTD yet due to jet lag and being exhausted at the end of the day. Really hoping my DH is going to get on board though. He can be quite difficult and I really don't want to be disappointed this week. He knows how much it means to me. I don't want to have sex too early in case he says we only just did it. He really doesn't get it! Think my DH might be an alien...

@Pancakes7 Pleased to hear you enjoyed yourself at the wedding. Dancing to cheesy music always helps lift your mood. It'll also mean the first social gathering is out of the way now so it should be less awkward next time.

@Pancakes - mine hadn't gone at a week either, good luck. Glad you had a nice time at the wedding.

Joining in the TWW fun. I'm 7dpo and really hoping this month it works...

The Wedding actually was really good for us. We saw some good friends, had a laugh and danced alot which is just what we needed! It's the most fun we've had since all of this. I do think with each day it gets more bareable. I gradually accept it more. Or just get strong enough to not think about it. I am feeling anxious about work on Monday. But will just have to get on with it.

Bleeding stopped last night. Took test this morning and still a faint positive... Will wait a week and test again as they said 2 weeks after smm. Really hope it goes. I never ever thought I'd be hoping for a BFN.

@Boboelephant thanks, yes I've had three normal pregnancies but this Mc has totally thrown us. I'm definitely trying the pineapple this month, CD7 today and was so excited to wake up this morning to start the OPK's . It was a negative but looking forward to the week ahead! Where are you in your CD?
@PassTheAfterEights Good list thanks x going t stop the hot baths (shower instead!) and pineapple all the way x
@MrsLCW sending you a huge virtual hug too , I'm so sorry x

Morning ladies, so much news to catch up on! Have been reading all your posts but working every day this week til midnight so haven't had much chance to post.

Think I'm out this month, not even sure I ovulated to be honest, my bbt has been so rocky since loss #2. I thought I was getting a bit of a rising pattern then at 8DPO and 9DPO temp has fallen. Don't think implantation dips can be 2 days? But seems to be too early to be falling for AF. Who knows what is happening!

Now I'm off the Clearblue trial I'm planning on having a month of bbt and OPKs to see if I can pinpoint ovulation and my luteal phase.

Sending hugs to all

Still BFN this morning for me ladies, I'm so down! X

@Boboelephant I've been testing with cheapies to satisfy my POaS problem but all bfn. There's a post on here though saying that mine is a dodgy batch - a lady had negatives / extremely faint positives but then had positives on FRER and digi so the sensitivity was wrong. If my period doesn't show by Wednesday I'll do a FRER though. It's weird, as I'm not expecting a positive the POAS isn't stressful, just something I need to do to get it out the way. Needless to say I won't be buying the sensitive cheapies next month and will wait for period due date lol.

@HidCat I'll be POAS on opks! Not quite the same I know!
When are you testing??

@RedRobin7 happy anniversary! Have a lovely day and JKS! 😂
@weasledee and @PassTheAfterEights good planning and good luck with not testing. I'm going to try that too!
@MrsGS76 as @Pass says there is lots of stuff saying what not to do but there is also so much saying to relax! My first two pregnancies were very welcome easy surprises and I wasn't even aware of a tww. Do what feels right for you. I am going to do the pineapple core this month but not worry too much about the others.
I do know a bit about it though as I've read everything- crazed Google searcher here! They say it's important to keep your feet warm as the feet and uterus meridian are connected. Cold uterus can be a cause of infertility. Pineapple core (has to be the core of fresh pineapple) contains bromelain which is a natural blood thinner and can help implantation. I hadn't heard of the raw veg but I have read that in the tww you should eat warm foods and try and avoid cold foods- again about keeping your uterus warm. Also beta carotene is important at this stage so good to eat orange foods apparently- carrots, sweet potato etc. I've actually heard yoga is good to do in tww but only certain poses- the ones that suit pregnancy.
So take what you want! Some I've done and some I haven't. I'm still not pregnant though. So who knows!! I think relaxing and being happy is the most important. 😀

@PassTheAfterEights long since finished the wardrobes lol. Done Saturday morning and last weekend too.

Any testers this morning?

Argh @knitknitty so sorry to hear that. Hope you can have a restful day today.

So sorry @KnitKitty, thinking of you xx
