TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

Thanks ladies. Scan is at 4pm. I'll keep you all posted. Xx

Hi, how is everyone? I haven't managed to catch up properly!

Hope the scan goes well today @cakelaur

Fingers crossed for everyone in fw or tww!!

Sorry @Hidcat

I am currently 9dpo and driving myself mad! I've ordered some amazon cheapie tests which should arrive tomorrow.

Time to go to work now ☹️

I gave in and did a FRER this morning. As expected the BFN. Thinks it's just a weird 2nd period post MC so assuming I'm back to CD2.

Good luck today @cakelaur! I'm sure baby is doing great and I hope you get a really clear scan picture.

@Lilimum4 I didn't mean that like 'how many have you done!?!?' I was trying to figure out which ones were what day. 😀 I totally understand why you've been worried because of the cyst. So obviously work our temping I can't be totally sure but they say after a positive opk you ovulate 12-48 hours after. I've also read that ovulation pain can happen before actual ovulation so I'd probably be inclined to count ov as the 1st. Your 8th opk- was that evening of 31st or morning of 1st? Up to you but I would probably say you are 5dpo today.
@YellowDaffodils86 hello! Yep FF confirmed ovulation today so I'm now 3dpo. 👍 and rest!! 😂 what did your opk say?
@Cakelaur what time is your scan??
@hayleyfx thankyou!!! How are you??
@MrsGS76 hope you got some JKS action! Yep you have to be careful with the cheapies that you don't miss the lead up. I basically just start jks before getting a positive as soon as i notice any cm- hence the marathon from day 8 and ov day 17! 😂😂
@L1zz13 how'd you go?? DH get on board?
@Pancakes7 I know what you mean. I used to be so chill about it all. With DS I didn't know anything about opks or bbt or cm! It's alot more waiting and analysing now! Hopefully not too much longer for any of us.

@Cakelaur can't wait to hear how it goes today!

@Pancakes7 I fell pregnant on the 3rd cycle after my mmc and surgical management. I'm now just over 12weeks. The Doppler is basically a wand that you rub on your belly and it picks up the heartbeat. It's quite cool. But I made sure I waited until 12 weeks cos it's so hard to pick up the heart beat before then and I didn't want it to cause panic.

@MrsGS76 I got the Doppler from eBay. £25 best purchase so far!!!

@HidCat yup. I had negative 12dpo, spotting 13+14dpo and bfp 15dpo!!! I have everything crossed for you!!

I have not caught up at all! I think i may just have to pick up from here.
@Boboelephant some JKS marathon been going on! Are now dpo?
@Cakelaur scan tomorrow? I wish all the luck in the world!! Pictures will be lovely to see.
Welcome and hello to new comers, always sad to see you but happy to offer support.

Congrats those that are entering/in fw JKS!!
Sorry to anyone still having a tough time.

How are the recent bfps??

I am cd15 due to ov between now and Friday i think? I caved and broke out an opk yesterday 🙈the need for control is too much!! 😂 i was going to try this month without any form of charting...

@Boboelephant I know how many been obsessed since I found out about the cyst on my left ovary. The test your referred to was on the afternoon (2.30 pm) of 31/6 and I had the strong pains from about 6-7 ish same day.

@Lilimum4 how many are you taking each day? I think your positive is the 6th one down. What date was that and how far apart were the 6th one and the 8th one? I would normally say that you probably ovulated a day or so after the 6th one. However it is strange that the sonographer said you hadn't ovulated. If she is right it's possible you had the LH surge as your body was gearing up to ovulate but then didn't complete the process. Your last test is dark but not positive. However if you haven't actually ovulated yet it could be possible that you are having another surge and it may still happen. How many cycles since MC? It is possible for cycles to be messed up for 6 months. I have ovulated from day 16 to day 22 on the last few month's. Sorry it's so confusing! I'd try and keep bd'ing!

@Boboelephant omg what a marathon... it has to be your month! My fingers are so tightly crossed for you haha! 🤞

@zarala wow seems like it was a great idea seeing Dr Shehata! I’m glad it was so helpful for you. & yay for TTC again! Have fun with all the JKS 😉

@HidCat fingers crossed for you! 🤞

Hope you’re all doing alright. Good luck to everyone in FW and TWW! I hope June brings lots of bfp’s. Sending hugs to anyone struggling right now

Hidcat if I were you I'd do a test just to know either way tomorrow, but I might be super impatient! If you'd prefer to see if AF turns up in earnest in the next day or two, do that.

@Boboelephant I'm so confused. These (I'm a poas freak) are from morning of 30/5/18 to today 5/6/18. Around 31/5 I had really strong ovulation pains in my right side. The last test was done about an hour ago. I went for the scan on 4/6/18 and sonagragher said she didn't think I had ovulated. Today is cd16 for me and I have a 28 day cycle. What do you make of all this? If I did ovulate on 31/6 that would make me 5dpo right? This is all so confusing

@Boboelephant Thanks. I hope so too. I just hope it also goes ok this time. I'm scared the same thing will happen again. I hope you're successful this month after all your jks! Fx for you! I never realised until I started ttc-ing how much waiting is involved! I hate it lol

Just to show a difference between digital ovulation tests and 'amazon' ones .. I used the clear blue advanced digital test this morning and it was negative but have the done it tonight as well as the amazon ones and look at the difference. The digital test is actual flashing a smiley face which means I'm in my fertile period (not ovulating yet) but can still DTD !! The 'amazon' one is not showing I'm in my fertile period yet, and if you have a very short fertile period you may miss it out on these ones. I've already pre warmed DH for tonight and the next few nights.... xx

@Pancakes7 it is hard not to be impatient. I know! You're not far away now from trying now and hopefully it doesn't take long to fall again. 🤞

@HidCat Oh awful all the not knowing isn't it. @Boboelephant I hope it's the end of it! Yeah I know that's sensible. I'm just so impatient! I want to be pregnant again now!! Need to just wait...

Haha @DaisyMay25 and @MrsGS76. Something for them to aim for!
@weasledee good luck for Thursday!
@Cakelaur ooh tomorrow is the big day! I'm so excited for you. And love that you got Doppler. 👍👍
@Pancakes7 as @KnitKitty said waiting for a neg test is just so if you did catch straight away you wouldn't be stuck worrying if it was a new pregnancy or left over hcg. The brown blood is a good thing. That's old blood so should be the end of it!
@Maydot glad your af has started and body is getting back to normal!
@MisBit1 and @littleemma1 welcome and so sorry for your losses.
@HidCat ooh fingers crossed you're not out yet! And your test post made me laugh!
@L1zz13 oohh it's go time!!! Hope you can get DH in the mood!! You too @MrsGS76, nice work on the steak pie!
@BabynameEdie thanks hun! Number 12 complete! 👊 Haha pretty knackered yes. And stupidly hopeful as always. I'll be even more gutted if doesn't work this month after all the jks I imagine.
@KnitKitty thankyou. I really really hope so! It's been such a long crap journey.
@zarala good luck hun! Channel your inner peace. Repeat mantra... I am a sex goddess.... 😂😂 remember it's supposed to be fun! And rest in the knowledge that you seem to conceive easily and now you know what the issue was. 🤞
@Lilimum4 can you post a picture of the opks?

@zarala so happy for you!

@Lilimum4 I think some people do have long surges so it might be that. When did you last do a pregnancy test though? They get strong positives during pregnancy too...

@Pancakes7 I thought it had arrived on time this morning but it stopped! Have had spotting for the last few days so not really sure if it might be implantation instead. Not really sure what's going on tbh.

Hello @Lilimum4 I would definitely recommend the digital OPK tests, I know they are a little more expensive but the one I have gives you four days of fertility and it's as clear as can be! No looking at tests in the light to see if there's a line! As Ive not had a problem in falling pregnant, I'm hoping that I won't be using them for long so the money is worth it x fx for you xx

Should have said strong positive lines

@HidCat Thanks. I hope so too. I jist want to get trying and get that bfp again! Is your af late yet? Fx for you!

Hello ladies how are we all doing. Just a question to all you ladies that use opks. I seem to have a second line on every test I take and have since cd10 and I'm now cd15 is this right or does it mean I have a dodgy batch of sticks ( one step wide ones).

Ah just wrote a long post to most of you ladies and then bloody went and lost it!
Don't have it in me to rewrite
So I will just say I think i am officially on the TTC game (finally!) 😬
OH told me today that he's done with protected sex and wants to get on the JKS marathon! @Boboelephant I think he was jealous of your husband 🙄 plus it's his bday tomorrow so I have comply! 🤸🏽‍♀️
I peed on my first ever OPK -it was negative (I am only cd8 so was expected) but JKS starts tonight according to OH...
I am really anxious about TTC I've had diarreoh all day just thinking about it! (Sorry if tmi) Need to channel my inner peace and positivity- might Try headspace some of you mentioned...🧘🏽‍♀️
But I figure we have to start soon because god knows how long we'll take until BFP.
And at least now I know what my issue is we should hopefully get our 🌈 soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hugs and baby dust to all!

Ps @Cakelaur how did the scan go?

@KnitKitty I really don't know 🙈. On the one hand I've had only had a 5p sized bit of brown blood on a pad and only watery pink / red blood on wiping otherwise, on the other hand I don't want to see a negative and feel I should wait a few more days. Going to see how I feel in the morning. That pesky optimism is back 😬.

@Pancakes7 I hope it's just a little and it's all stopping for you.
