TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

Ladies I’ve just been reading back through the rest of this thread and I am SUPER confused.
What is pineapple core and progesterone cream meant to do?!

Also, I’m trying to have a good day today after a very very very bad day yesterday... I GET MARRIED EXACTLY 1 MONTH TODAY! 😬😬😬

False alarm on the opks yesterday - got a negative one today! @Boboelephant thanks for your advice, i'm just not used to using these.

Hoping for a regular schedule this month - parents are visiting today until Monday and due to ovulate on Weds so hoping it doesn't come early!! (awkward!)

@Boboelephant my opk was neg but close, yesterday n g but really close, bb pain at sides and cm make me think positive is imminent.
Ah loosing a whole day is tough. Makes all the difference.

@Cakelaur ohhh wonderful pic, soooo lovely. Sooo pleased for you. 😍

@Laney79 so pleased you are out of the limbo!

👋🏻hey everyone / will try catch up more later.

@weasledee my SIL had her girl in Dec and her boy was 7. They get on really well. He loves having a baby sister so no reason to stop just cause of the age gap.

Youngest is 5 bobo
Told OH one more month.....

@KnitKitty I recommend headspace. Gp recommended it to me. It's really helped me. I'm glad it's helping you too. We are aiming to jks every day to try and get that bfp again. 2 days done lol. This is partly as I only had 1 af after pill before bfp. Now mc not had af yet so no idea what my cycle is. So just hoping we get lucky.

Oh @weasledee I'm so sorry. How old is your youngest? It's all so hard sometimes isn't it.
@KnitKitty I don't know actually. I wouldn't think so but not sure. I have had between 28 and 34 day cycles since MC which makes my ovulation date change but I always still bleed for the same amount of time. I guess either way a shorter af is a win!
@Mistymeow you can keep recording your temp later but you just have to change the time bit when you do. I also think that yes the 5am wake up would make a big difference as they say a 'minimum of 3 hours uninterrupted sleep'. If you always wake up at 5am, I would pop the thermometer in then and take a quick temp and then go back to sleep. I have been waking at 4am because of it being so light so am taking it then as that's after my best block of sleep. Then just roll over again for a few more hours.
@zarala definitely keep doing the opks. JKS too!! 😀 Oh I know. I feel every twinge now. I'm only 3dpo and convinced I'm extra hungry and feel a bit sick. Grrrr. Stop my head!!!

Actually, my cat does wake me up very briefly every morning at around 5am, but I fall back to sleep for another 2 hours. Could this affect temps? How sensitive is it?

Haha @Boboelephant im def JKS ! But I need to use opks so I know when to start taking my pills! (Have to start on ovulation until 10dpo when I have to test) otherwise I wouldn't be bothering ! But! Now that i am checking for ovulation I'm starting to feel things I never did before! Knowing too much about our cycles is dangerous!
Oh those pre-mc days were so blissful...

And oooh! Hope those temps keep rising for you!!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

@KnitKitty I'm not sure
But I had a 7 day period in April and that cycle was 30 days then I had a 3 day period in may and that cycle ended up being only 25 days! Coincidence?? Maybe...?!

@Boboelephant thanks for the response. Yes I take temp between 7 and 7:30am but I do sometimes record it a bit later, I'll stop doing that though because I think I'm confusing the app! I suspect you're right about the longer cycle. Sorry to hear yours are also not settled yet. I'm going away on holiday on Saturday to the US so I reckon temp will go crazy!

@Laney79 yeah it totally sucks, but I guess it could still come late. And body is obviously just not quite ready yet, so I have to accept that.

@KnitKitty thanks for the virtual hug! What's Headspace, is it an app?

Taking a turn on the outside of the huddle today, I can see a few of you are in need of a huddle cuddle. Tight hugs

I hope you all have a good day.

My period is definitely stopping after only 5 days which is very unusual for me, but not complaining.

Does the length of time you bleed for affect your cycle length at all, does anyone know?
I believe I usually ovulate around CD16-18. Should I be expecting to ovulate a bit earlier this month do you think?
I don't do OKPs or temping so will JKS anyway and see what happens.
Not really feeling like this month is going to be it for me for some reason, but right now it's helping me stay chilled about everything and not feeling too bad.

Can't remember who recommended it, but started Headspace yesterday and had a very chilled day which has done me the world of good.

Urgh, big fat whiter than white negative on 10DPO and the usual AF cramps starting too.

I'm exceedingly close to packing in the TTC thing as the gap between the youngest is getting bigger and I'm getting NO younger...... :(

@Cakelaur FF changed my ov day from cd17 to cd18 this morning. Totally stupid to be disappointed as I suspected it was 18 anyway but now I feel like groundhog day on 3dpo again. 😫 Temp is rising like a dream but also a bit convinced it must be the progesterone cream!

Thanks ladies for all the good wishes. I feel so much better! I think being able to JKS helps!!!

Have been doing ic opks but I do have a clear blue digital opk pack with me...instructions say to not pee for at least 4 hours (very difficult at the mo due to drinking buckets in the heat!) - so would I be ok using fmu? Never used CB before. The ic cheapies I'm doing in the afternoon around 5/6pm.

@Cakelaur what a gorgeous pic! So pleased for you.

@Mistymeow @ek78 @strawberrye I didn't even know what an anovulatory cycle was-googled now-sorry to hear you are experiencing it. Our bodies really are Sod's at times eh?

@strawberrye sorry af got you.
@zarala JKS!!!! 😂
@Mistymeow i am not an expert but looks to me like you haven't ovulated yet. Today's dip could be your pre-ov dip and possibly ovulation day. I know you said you temp the same time but those circles on your chart rather than dots mean that the time you are recording them are more than 30 min apart. Are you temping and then recording them onto FF later? My cycles have been different lengths and I've ovulated on a different day every cycle since MC so it's possible your cycle is a bit out and you'll have a longer cycle. I'd be interested to see what your chart does for the next few days.

Thanks @ek78 the support on this thread really helps xx

Thanks @cakelaur I hadn't heard of a fall back rise (just googled)

I've attached my chart if anyone more experienced than me could take a quick look please? I didn't chart from cd1 as I was away and I usually have 24/25 cycles (FF expected me to o cd12 and I had positive opks cd10 and cd11 ). I do temp at the same time every morning but it doesn't look right to me. I've had one af since mmc.

Hugs to you too @strawberrye and @mistymeow! Sorry to hear you both might be having an anovolutary cycle as well, so frustrating isn’t it! AND annoying that an early AF throws off all of our plans. Fingers crossed we all get more regular cycles this time. @mistymeow so sorry it coincided with that text too. This stuff is so hard.

@Cakelaur congrats hun ! Such a beautiful picture - really happy for you! I almost shed a tear at the scan- it's just so magical when it works out!! Fx for all of us here that we will be joining you soon!

@Laney79 so happy to hear things have finally cleared up for you! You had such a tough time and you deserve to enjoy that stunning beach! Sun sea and sex!!!

@strawberrye I also just had a 25day cycle - 3rd AF after my last MC, so odd ! Thought things would start regulating by now!

I am cd10 and my cb digital OPK is still showing me a blank circle...🙄 oh well we are still JKS anyway just wanna see that smiley face! I'm only 2 days into this and already the impatience has started to creep.... 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Mistymeow it could be a fallback rise. Don't panic just yet. Are you using FF?

I got another big temp dip today. That's 3 days after the positive opk and I take my temp the same time every morning, I think it's another anovulatory cycle. It coincided with a text from my friend telling me all about her new baby and I did shed a tear :(

Thats mean to say my cycles are out, not other!

Well AF arrived this morning after a 24 day cycle, WTF? Looks like my cycles are other post MC too @ek78, I think this may have been an anovulatory cycle too, hugs. Onto next cycle and really hoping fertile window doesn't clash with my nights because it's looking like July's fertile window is the exact week when DH is across the other side of the world with work!

Lovely scan @cakelaur

Haha @Cakelaur! Let's see if it works first!! 🤞🤞

@ek78 🐧🐧 into the middle with you 🐧🐧

@ek78 so sorry Hun. 🐧🐧🐧🐧
