TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

@DaisyMay25 no worries, don’t need to say sorry😊 thank you, I hope you’re doing alright, enjoy the JKS haha!

@KnitKitty @strawberrye thank you ladies! 💕

Hi @KnitKitty sorry for the late reply! Holiday is good thanks but haven't seen the sun for a few days 🙄 It's coming back out this afternoon and should be out for the rest of our trip! A holiday isn't a holiday without sunshine!

Pleased to hear you're trying to be positive and focus on trying again. I know it's so so hard to be positive when it feels like everything is going wrong but you will get there - we all will! Keeping everything crossed for you for this next cycle.

@Laney79 So glad the bleeding has stopped. You can start to feel more normal now. Hope you manage to catch ovulation on your holiday! Fingers crossed for you too 😊

@Boboelephant I'm still trying to process how you managed 12/12! Your DH definitely deserves a MN medal. I don't think I've ever managed more than 3 times in a row lol.

Sorry I've missed loads of you out. Just a quick post today as need to get ready for the day ahead. Also wanted to wish good luck to the pregnant ladies with your scans and appointments. Fingers crossed to those of you in the TWW and FW too!

Quick update on me - my CB digital has been flashing since Sunday morning. I've been doing IC twice a day but I find sometimes it doesn't pick anything up - even the FMU on Monday didn't show anything although the Sunday morning one did. There was a line yesterday morning but nothing in the evening, even though I'd held my wee in for hours. The line today is still faint but the darkest so far. I'm thinking maybe I will ovulate today or tomorrow. I wish it was more obvious when it will happen exactly! DH is still complaining about the pressure but we have DTD. I'm worried it's been too early to count so will try again with him tonight and tomorrow... it's his bday on Friday so I'll have to go with whatever he wants, can't fall out with him on his bday! Not feeling at all confident that this is our month. If he just worked with me this week there would be a higher possibility he can relax for a while!

Thanks @strawberrye it just seems endless. I thought everything had gone back to normal too. Just needs more time. Hard to be patient when you want a baby so much. Sorry you are feeling sad but I definitely hear you. We had been ttc for 18 months and it was a miracle to conceive naturally (due to DH's low sperm count) and for it to end in a mmc was so heartbreaking. I often feel sad, but there is hope for us all x

@Laney79 have a lovely holiday, you deserve a nice rest and really glad the bleeding has finally stopped.

Sorry that I always miss people off, I get confused with all the names! Sendng love as ever x

So sorry @hayleyfx I appear to have completely ignored that it's your first midwife appointment today! Good luck! Hopefully all goes well!

@Laney79 I'm so glad you're doing well! Have a fantastic holiday!

Enjoy your holiday laney!

Trying to catch up but finding it difficult whilst I'm on my jollies!

@Cakelaur I have everything crossed for you at your scan-would love to see a pic!

@littleemma1 we did the same-just stopped trying not to and let it happen-but after the MMC, and my age I'm doing opks.

Good news from my end-finally pain and bleeding has stopped! So I'm taking last Tuesday as the start of AF-so I'm assuming that's cycle day 1? Have got opks with me, and dtd for the first time in 4 months yesterday which was bloomin fab! So hoping my holiday relaxation and lots of BD-ing will help us catch quickly. Not heading back till 14th so I'm guessing we'll be here when I ovulate?

Sorry not to respond to all-but sending hugs from sunny Kos!

Hello everyone how are you all?

@cakelaur good luck for your scan today and @hayleyfx good luck for your first midwife appointment today

@HidCat sorry for the BFN, its so heartbreaking seeing that stark white isn't it

Hoping you're looking forward to your wedding @lovemysparkle and not getting too stressed about the prep!

@boboelephant in awe of your JKS-athon, really hoping this is your month!

@Mistymeow sorry to hear you're having a confusing time. My temps have been a bit all over the place since my second loss too. Perhaps it is just cycles settling back to normal? I guess ovulating earlier or later than expected is probably quite common post-MC.

Sorry to anyone I've missed off! My positive streak has had a bit of a blip, been feeling quite sad the past few days. Not sure if secretly I was hoping this was our month even though it was unlikely due to timings of JKS not being right. I think its just hit me that we've been TTC for almost 9 months now and if we had fallen pregnant first time round I would be due any day now

Woops that should say pouncing, but pounding will also work 😂🙈😜

@Lovemysparkle how exciting!! I’m pleased I have wedding stuff to distract me as I get married on 7th July 😬 trying so hard not to let the mc “ruin” it.

It’s so bloody hard keeping up with this thread, it moves so quick 🤣

@Cakelaur good luck for your scan today, thinking of you! 😃🤞🏼

As for me, I’m really not having a good day 😢 I think it’s because it’s two weeks today since mc and I should be 7 weeks 😭
I’m at work but I really don’t want to be here, but I don’t want to go home as there’s so much to do and it’s so busy.
My manager has been amazingly supportive so might have a chat and see how I’m feeling around lunchtime.

@Boboelephant and @Pancakes7 we were so chilled when TTC, didn’t temp, do OPK’s or anything, just wanted to let nature take its course and it worked.
This time around I’m going to do OPK’s but that’s it, and I won’t be telling OH when I get a positive as I don’t want to pressure him, I’ll just be pounding on him 😜

Thanks @Lilimum4 I hope the same for you too! Maybe that temp rise will happen tomorrow :) Thanks for your positivity too @sweetpea0318

Hidcat Sorry for the BFN. At least now you're not in that limbo of not knowing either way. Good luck with the new cycle. I'm here alongside your for the ride.

Boboelephant I'm crossing all my fingers and toes and have my eyes tight shut concentrating all my might on sending you lots of baby dust and good vibes for conception!

Lilimum4 I'm totally with you on not wanting to test early again. Kicking myself. Hugs! xxx

Hayleyfx good luck with the appointment tomorrow!

Cakelaur thinking of you for today with your scan.

Lovemysparkle good luck with the wedding planning. Hope you have a lovely big day! xxx

Good luck with those in FW and TWW. Baby dust to all of you.
To those of you like me who have just started a new cycle, I hope you're doing something treaty to pamper yourselves. It's my day off work today. Haven't quite decided what I'm going to do but I'm determined to have a nice, relaxed day. :)

Hi all 👋🏼 Have been keeping up with you all but it’s all been WEDDING WEDDING WEDDING stuff can’t wait it’s a week Saturday on the 16th😁 as for me & dp dtd has not been a lot just to bloody knackered!! We’re both up at 5 everyday work full time & been doing all the finishing touches for our big day😁 had a few dtd’s after af & one the other night but also been avoiding as wanted af (day 26 tomorrow so should get af if not day 28 Saturday) to come as if got bfp didn’t wanna take any risks early mc’s etc & just get on with our jks marathon on our minimoon 👍🏼 No af pains as yet just very sore boobies 🙈 probably just stress so hopefully she’ll arrive in the next day or so! I’m so sorry for all the new comers but it is a great place here! As for a lot of the people here having their 1st/2nd af after mc myself personally had 3 or 4 really bad af’s after my 1st mmc to the point where the pain & not knowing what my body was doing was worse than the mc!! I thought something was wrong with me but there wasn’t just my body & mental state getting back to normal.
@cakeular I really have everything crossed for a beautiful scan for you today sending 💕 love
For everyone else I hope the bfp’s Come rolling in & for others who are going through this terrible time hang on in there❤️
Sending love to you all 💐💐

@Cakelaur haha I told DH to make the most of the sex not because he won't have any again for a very long time once in get pregnant.

So tmi incoming, sorry! Last night whilst dtd I got really sharp pains in we're my ovaries are. I've been having scans and tests to find out why I get these pains normally but this is the first time I've had them whilst dtd and it was the worst I've been, I would've cried if it wouldn't have ruined the mood.

YES @Boboelephant amazing news!!! I actually haven't had sex since my marathon!! 🙈🙈 at first I was just too tired then too scared and now too sick. I think if all goes well at the scan today it's prob about time I reward my OH and pounce!! Haha!!

@Boboelephant I’m okay thanks for asking! 5+2 today and midwife appointment tomorrow. So tired and starting to get nauseous so hoping that’s a good sign! Taking it one day at a time. Good luck in the TWW, I really hope this is your month - you’ve definitely done all you can so fingers crossed it works!! 🤞

There’s a lot of people in the TWW! Sending you all lots of luck 😀

Morning all, trying to catch up with this thread!

@cakelaur good luck today!

@boboelephant hats off to you! That was an epic marathon - fingers crossed for you that it pays off!

@hidcat so sorry xx

@mistymeow sorry no advice for you as I don't temp. Hope that you ov anyway and managed to catch it.

To all the new leaders, welcome and sorry for your losses. Hope you gain some strength from this lovely thread.

I'm now 3dpo so officially in the TWW. Not holding out much hope for this cycle as only dtd the day before ov and a few days before that - unfortunately it all went a bit pear shaped this month for us. Gutted really although can't shake this little glimmer of hope that maybe it worked. I've been super hungry the past few days which happened when I was preg before so who knows... oh dear the crazy symptom spotting has already begun!! 😳

@Mistymeow hi hun I'm having all the same things as you. I wish I had advice for you. I'm just going to count it as I did and hope we DTD enough all though only managed once this cycle due to work. Fx you get your bfp this time x

@Cakelaur hope you enjoy your scan today xx

Hey how is everyone doing? Just caught up on this epic thread! Cakelaur hope the scan goes well.

I'm a bit confused and worried. I had my first af since mmc. All good, EWCM since cd10 and strong positive opk 3 days ago. All on track. But no temp rise and it's bothering me. They have stayed at around 35.45 the last few days. I'm getting what I think is O pains, opks are now negative. Am I not ovulating? Could it happen later because the miscarriage messed up my cycle? We are still dtd but it feels like it's never going to happen.

@Boboelephant thanks for your advice. Ovulation or not I'm counting this as the tww I'm driving my self crazy enough to count it lol. But 7 more days feels like forever but after last cycle I'm not testing early ever again dam near broke my heart to see those lines and then bleed again. I'm keeping my fx for you this time, you and dh really deserve it after all your dedication to TTC this cycle.

Baby dust to all you lovely ladies xx

@Boboelephant no completely stopped now. Not entirely surprising as even my miscarriage was light! My first period after was heavy though. Feeling good though, looking forward to this cycle now. My BBT thermometer should be arriving today so can try to track with that this month but may just see how the month goes and be a little less obsessive. Hope you enjoy a relaxing TWW! You've definitely earned a break lol.

@HidCat oh that is shit. So sorry. Have you started bleeding again?
@Anyday88 ooh exciting! When are you testing?
@Pancakes7 good job! DH obviously didn't take too much convincing! 🤣
@Cakelaur me!!! FF confirmed ovulation this morning for day 17 so 3dpo. That was the day we managed twice which is handy! We covered day 8 to 19 so now it's rest, pineapple and progesterone time! Keep everything crossed for me.

Started the ttc! Fx for this cycle or next!

Hit post too quick!

@HidCat so sorry babe. Body's are cruel after an mc. So confusing.

Who's in the TWW at the mo??
