TTC After Pregnancy Loss Thread 22.

@Maydot more power to you if u can hold out lol. My af is due 3/4th July. I would expect a bfp if Iv conceived on the 1st ish . I'm trying to be easy breezy about it but I don't know how long that will last 🙈.

@zarala yep I find it fascinating!
@Blondcat sorry af got you but glad your body is at least being regular.
@L1zz13 glad to hear that things are going ok for you and you're keeping busy! @achanger I use the baby mad one too. It works well. As the others have said most important thing is that it's a bbt which tracks to 2 decimal places
@Newbie21 yep it's strange how much things with our body can change post MC. I had spotting the day before af this month and I've never had that. And my MC was 6 months ago! At least though it seems like your LP hasn't shortened.
@DaisyMay25 I'm so sorry hun. They are the worst. Im sorry its taking so long for you too. I can't remember how long did it take you to get your bfp before MC?
@Anyday88 hope you get peak tomorrow and ovulate right before DH going away!
@RedRobin7 hope it's a smooth journey for you. Let us know how it all goes x

@lolacola13 I’m going to try and hold off for as long as possible. Last time I got my bfp really early, I just knew I was pregnant from about 11 dpo!!... Sounds stupid I know. But it made the 12 weeks up to my scan feel like forever! I’ve Told my OH we can wait til i’ve Completely missed a period!!... But I won’t be able to do that!!... So, AF is due 6th July so maybe test a couple of days after that unless I feel pregnant again 🤞🏼

@Maydot hey hey sorry for late reply. Yes managed lots of dtd . Got my peak on Monday there and we had dtd Sunday- Thursday . Having tonight off ! Lol time for a rest . When do u plan on testing? I'm going to try and hold off til next weekend . This is a very long cycle for me I had an early miscarriage last month and no af since so I am cd 27 at the min . I usually ovulate on day 17 but this month was so late

Thanks everyone for your kind messages! I'm still struggling to believe it but just taking it a day at a time.

@KnitKitty I know what you mean, we've been on this journey together over the last 3 months. I really hope you have a successful month soon. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞

@zarala Thank you for the reassurance. You're right - statistically the odds are in my favour but it is so hard to believe that. My best friend has had 3 MCs in a row and being so close to her I find it hard to be positive for myself. I really need to work on that! I'm also nervous about telling her as she's on cycle 3 TTC since the last MC. She asked me to tell her but I haven't yet. I really hope things work out for you. Fingers crossed 🤞

@Jessabean Thank you! You're right it's a constant battle. I just finished reading a book called "Stay with me" it's about a woman who has trouble conceiving. Won't ruin the storyline for anyone who wants to read it but it ended with a very powerful message that sometimes when you give up hope and think you know it all, you may be very far from the truth. Very powerful and left me thinking. Good luck to you too! I will keep checking in on everyone.

Hi everyone!

I've been a bit quite recently as was trying to sort my head out!
Really sorry @Boboelephant I hope you are doing ok!
Sorry @DaisyMay25 & @zarala for your bfns today!
I am work so can't catch up on everything but I really hope you are ok!

I am cd13 today Ovia seems to think today is ovulation day but my clear blue opk test is still only at high not peak which it has been since Tuesday and hubby is away from Sunday night so I am just not feeling optimistic now 🤷🏼‍♀️

BFN here this morning, 13dpo and started cramping and had a little bit of brown spotting. I though I saw a line on in cheapie but nothing on frer. So I think I'm out. AF is due Monday then onto the next cycle!

@zarala it really is still early days so I don't think you are out yet. I have never monitored temp so can't help there but fx for you.

@boboelephant it is still the same but I have a heavy feeling like my AF is coming any minute so I'm pretty sure that is what it is. I had it on my last AF which I put down to left over stuff from the d &c but before the D&C is never had this at beginning of AF. However if I don't count the day that started and only day of proper bleeding then yesterday would have been day 24. It's all very confusing. Will watch and wait but I reckon this just may be my new slightly odd cycle.

Also @achanger youneed a thermometer that reads 2 decimal places- a bbt thermometer- i bought mine off amazon

@achanger I'm using fertility friend as recommended by some of the ladies on here
It's really easy to use and I am quite enjoying tracking and learning about my body - I think I am still on the free trial - not sure what functions I'll lose when that ends tho

You're right this is such an emotional rollercoaster isn't it!
At least we have each other !

@achanger hi I got a 'baby mad' bbt digi one from eBay only cost 4.50 seams to be good

@zarala can I ask which app you use please to track? I've been using Ovia which seems ok.

@Lilimum4 Which thermometer are you using? I've not temped before. Will DS's Braun one do?

Thanks ladies. It's such an emotional time isn't it. I was so upset when AF arrived, I build myself up so much. I promised I wouldn't test until I was late but ended up doing four bloody tests

Happy Friday lovely ladies ❤️
I'm slowly getting there I think. It's a bit rocky but I've taken on the challenge of painting our wooden window frames! It's a mammoth 🐘 of a task which will keep me occupied for several weeks!
Thinking of you all x

Thanks @Blondcat and sorry AF showed 🙄
On to the next one! 🤞🏽

@zarala sorry for bfn but like others said still early days and not out until af shows.

@laney79 goodluck.

Af has shown up for me today on cd25 which is around normal for me usually 25/26 day cycles.

Goodluck anyone in tww and enjoy those in fw.

@Boboelephant yeah I have no idea as it's my first time temping - but from other chat I've compared to my temps don't seem high enough above cover line- but anyway time will tell!
It's a really interesting thing to see tho! So much our bodies do without us even knowing! It's amazing

@Laney79 I know! I have never tested this early - I've always been someone who waits until AF is late- but I'm on a medical protocol to treat aggressive natural killer cells (apparently that has been the cause of my 3 MCs) and I need to test at 10dpo; if I am not pregnant I have to stop taking the steroids... (I know it's all very controversial but I'm putting my full trust in Dr Shehata )
So today is actually my last day on roids unless I test positive tomorrow 😬

@zarala I think your chart still looks good. Hard to tell though!! It will depend alot on what tomorrow's temp does. 2dpo could be fallback rise, 8dpo could be implantation and you do have a few inconsistent temps. Still way up above coverline though! 🤞
@Laney79 ooh exciting! Good will power!! 🤞

@zarala you are braver than me! I'm 11dpo cd25 and I'm not brave enough to test yet. No AF yet although have had a few twinges, but trying to convince myself it's bean related rather than witch related! Like others have said though it's still early-I'm keeping everything crossed for your next poas.

I'm going to try and hold out till weds...period tracker says AF due tomorrow, FF and ovia says Tuesday -so if nowt by weds there should be a definate line...

This is so hard!

Thanks @strawberrye And @Lilimum4

@Boboelephant thanks hun
I know I wasn't really expecting anything today but was secretly hoping for at least a squinter! (Ah!) but yeah I will probably test again tomorrow but then wait until Monday when AF due

Here's my chart tho- what do you guys think ?

@strawberrye woohoo for tww! Still seems a long way off for me! Hope it goes quickly for you.
@Lilimum4 temps pre ovulation can be a bit all over the place. Mine always are with quite a rocky pattern. After ovulation and when progesterone kicks in is when you should be able to see more of a clear pattern.

@Newbie21 if you did manage to catch straight away it could be implantation bleeding. If not and it is af, you should count day 1 as the first day of proper bleeding not spotting. Wait and see if it gets heavier!
@GPS76 sorry it looks like af. Fx for next month.
@achanger welcome. Or welcome back if you're returning! Hope it happens soon.
@Lilimum4 hello cycle triplet!!!
@Pancakes7 fx for a miracle for you. However if you haven't caught this month it might still take a little longer. My first af came 32 days after my smm. Do you know when you ovulated?
@zarala sorry for bfn hun. They really are the worst. I know you've been told to test but 10dpo really is still very early so you're not out yet. Want us to look at your chart?

I'm temping for the first time this month but its not going well my temps are all over the place. Quite large differences every morning. I'm taking it same time to the minute every day but not seeing any kind of pattern at all

Aw sorry @zarala BFN are so disappointing aren't they. 10DPO is still fairly early though, I agree that you're not out until the fat (red) lady sings! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@achanger welcome and sorry for your loss

No POAS for me this morning as I'm only 1 or 2DPO, waiting for my three increased temps to confirm ovulation.
