TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

Thanks @boboelephant - I’ve got house build and renovation instead of a puppy, but I figure that should be a good distraction!

@DBoo I really hope this is your rainbow!
@Laney79 it really has been dragging out for you. At least it sounds like your body is finally letting go completely and fx the bleeding stops soon! Just in time for your JKS holiday!
@dulwichdays oh I know the feeling. I do everything! And know that I'm dtd at the right time. I even suggested the pineapple core about 4 threads ago and so many others did it and got their bfp and I still don't! It's gotta happen soon for us, it just has to!
I bought the wellsprings serenity cream on @Cakelaurs recommendation.
I remember there was 8 days of back to back dtd, progesterone cream from 3dpo, pineapple core from 1dpo and a new puppy! (I might need to find an alternative for the pup!)

Found you.
Nothing happening here on cd 7. Will back through later

@cakelaur - I second bobo’s question - what was your magic formula?

Thanks @boboelephant - what brands of progesterone cream did you buy? I can’t help but feel that I’m missing something or doing something wrong. We’re dtd-ing the right time but obviously that’s not enough!

@Laney79 I totally feel your pain. I had a varied flow of bleeding for what felt like an eternity after we lost our little girl. It makes you feel dreadful, and like you just can't look forward at all doesn't it?
Sending you love and good thoughts that's all done soon and you can begin to look ahead. X

Aww congrats and everything crossed for you @DBoo xx

Thanks @Boboelephant - so tough to know what the heck is going on. We're desperate to try again but I've not stopped bleeding since MC and hospital said no sex until bleeding stops! There was a lot of blood and little bits of clots/tissue yesterday. Tmi but still passing some today although it's back to the gloopy stuff (Flo's snot I call it ) but still bright red.

One day this Carcas of mine will behave. Dammit I just want to join you all in TTC and get on the JKS wave!!!

@DBoo congratulations! Definite line there, I didn't even need to zoom in.

Thank you. Straight on the cyclogone this morning (progesterone) and will start the baby aspirin tonight with my vitamins. Not going to let myself get too carried away feels like been here a million times before with nothing to show for it so back to reality for now haha!

@Laney79 just putting another thought out there. A few people on here have had ovulation bleeding after MC. I had bleeding for one day right before I ovulated and that would explain your positive opk. I read that the cervix contracts so it can push down any old blood still left over. If you are trying maybe time for jks. If not, maybe expect af in 2 weeks? Not 100% but another option?
@dulwichdays sorry af got you. Good luck on the trial! Here's to June!
@BabynameEdie thanks hun. Any hot tips for this month?? @Cakelaur remind me of everything you did? My protesterone cream is on the way!
@DBoo congratulations!!! Hope it's a sticky one for you!

@DBoo Great news! Most definitely a line!

Morning ladies. Sorry to those who feel af is on the way.

As you all know id written myself off on friday when i started spotting but tested on sunday anyway just because i like to. Got a feint bfp but still werent sure. Well although not a great line still, this morning im sure!

Ahhh I didn't know that - thanks @HidCat - not certain it's AF as I never stopped bleeding/spotting after MC, but deffo not pregnant (we haven't made love since before we found out there was a prob in mid March ) and yesterday's bleeding was different to my normal AF, but it was heavy. With your info about progesterone dip that is another sign it is AF I guess. Thanks.

@Yellowdaffodils86 🤞🏻 it hasn’t arrived and that you get a BFP instead.

I’m back to CD1....let it all begin again. Just signed up to the clear blue trial (after my initial rejection after the MC - so it’s clearly been that long!!) so it’ll be interesting if I end up in the trial arm as I’ve never used OPk’s Before.

Sorry to see all the new joiners here, but this thread has been an amazing source of support for me over the last few months so hopefully it will for you to! X

@Laney79 I read that the Progesterone dip at the start of AF can cause an LH surge, hence the positive opk. Pregnancy is also a common cause of positive opks when AF is due so worth a hpt if you have a cheap one lying around just to rule it out. I think it's more likely the Progesterone dip though if you're sure it's AF.

@YellowDaffodils86 sorry to hear af on the way, this WILL be your month. JKS and relaxing 😍💆‍♀️🧖‍♀️🧘‍♀️
@Boboelephant ⬆️ as above! 🤞

@YellowDaffodils86 it'll be our month fx positive thinking all the way

Thank you @Lilimum4 and @Boboelephant
A bit of pink spotting tonight, she will here by morning. At least can now get in with it.
So gutted i wasted a FRER this morning.
Spent so much on hpk and opks already!!!
On to June we go 🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

Love the title of this thread JKS all the way!

Opk/ovulation gurus...I'm using Internet cheapies and have been since 8th may despite continued bleeding spotting since physical miscarriage end of April-all have been negative.

As I said on an earlier post what I'm guessing or hoping is AF arrived today-quite heavy bleeding and passing small clots/tissue most of the day but slowing now (only when I go to loo though-minimal on pad)...did my opk as normal just and weirdly there's now a line? Is that even possible? To ovulate during AF? Line isnt as dark as the control line but most of mine have had nothing at all line-wise...see pic... Anyone have any idea?

@YellowDaffodils86 sounds promising hun. I'm really hoping this is your month and I'm crossing fingers and toes for you

@KnitKitty I think CM can be a very good tracker but you do need to know your own patterns. I know now that I get EWCM at start of fertile week and 5 days later I ovulate. I've been tracking this with bbt and opks. Once I ovulate my cm very quickly changes. I read somewhere that cm is telling you that you are fertile and when the EWCM disappears that is when you know you have ovulated, not when it begins. As for the more fertile thing who knows? I thought it was because your body had just been pregnant so was primed and ready to go. Was 100% not effective for me so not the best advocate!
@YellowDaffodils86 still hoping for a miracle for you hun!
@Sictransitgloria and @WhitleyBae welcome and sorry for your losses.

@dulwichdays i know how you feel. Been googling a lot the last few days.

@SerenaOverjoyed sorry AF came😔

So much going on, its hard to catch up.
Sorry all that have AF, always a nasty sad disappointment when waiting for a bfp:

Sorry to all those that are new, been a few. Sorry you find yourself on this thread. However hope you find support.

Good luck to those in fw, i hope its a good result at the end.

Wow this thread moves so quick! Just place marking at the moment as I'm on holiday and not had chance to catch up with everyone...I love that this thread has my "Just Keep Shagging" motto as a title

@Lilimum4 i have pinching and pulling in and boobs a little tender, especially at sides.
Thats about it. I felt a bit nauseous this afternoon too but not sure about that one.
Im expecting AF to appear soon, but iv never had this before.

Hey can I join?

Mc sept 17 - major baby bombs every where as two friends from Work also pregnant at that time have now just both gone on mat leave

Hoping June is my month FX. for everyone xxx
