TTC After Pregnancy Loss Thread 22.

@your not out yet hun not till AF shows up

POAS Friday
DPO10 here
Not even a sniff of a line on FRER this morning
And my temps really don't look good
Thinking these cramps are just signalling AF
😐

So its 4 weeks since my mmc. But smm was on 25th so 4 weeks on Monday. Keep thinking no sign of af... maybe I'm pregnant? Silly really...I tested today but was bfn. But could be too early to test. Who knows what my cycle is up to.

Welcome @achanger this is a great supportive group.

@Daisymay25 I'm the same as you as I think my af is due Monday. Fx for a bfp for you! I may wait and test Monday if no af still.

@sweetpea0318 and @Boboelephant I'm also cd7 first time I'm in line with another lady from this group

Hi ladies just found this. I've posted on her under multiple names (I change a lot)

I have a DS 20 months.
Fell pregnant in March but went on to have a chemical pregnancy.
Didn't track May or June but starting after his period.
Desperate for no2

I hope you're all ok x

@DaisyMay25 I think I'm out this month, slight pink tinge this morning and now a bit of blood when going to the loo! Also bad tummy all day which Is normally a sign AF is coming!
I worked out last time I fell pregnant we DTD in CD9,12 &16. Although doing the digital ovulation tests this month I appeared to have ovulated about CD 13/14 and we DTD many times up to CD14, we should have probably continued to DTD until after CD16 but OH was tired and understandably so!
Fx for you x

So I think AF has arrived today. Which means my cycle was only 26 days when it is usually 28 but then this is my first proper cycle since my MMC and D&C and I know it can affect the cycle. I say "I think" because I only see very light pink/brown when I wipe (sorry TMI) but it must be the beginning of AF. I didn't monitor when I ovulated but when I went for an ultrasound 10 days ago it showed a Corpus Luteum in my right ovary so I must have ovulated at least 11 days ago so guess this is about the right time for AF. Plus OH and I didn't DTD that much this month so chances were always slim. Going to focus on my holiday and maybe a holiday baby is on the cards fx.

Ah @sweetpea0318 hello cycle twin!! I'm so glad someone is the same time as me. 😀 I am not really sure when I'll ovulate as it's been between 16 and 22 the last few months but hopefully sooner than later. Still a bit more chill until the craziness begins!

@boboelephant we're cycle twins again. Cd7 here & normally ovulate cd16/17. I'm enjoying the lull before the fw and tww craziness kicks in :)

@DaisyMay25 cd6 here so not very exciting! I don't usually ovulate until about cd18 so still a fair bit of waiting for fw to start.

@Boboelephant I hope so but not hopeful. Luckily for me I ovulate early in my cycle so I'll be in the tww again before I know it. Where are you in your cycle?

@GPS76 ic is internet cheapies, I use one step ones off amazon. I can't resist, I have zero will power I think tomorrow I'll be 13dpo so if it's a bfn on frer I know it's not my month.
Really hoping next month will be the one though as it'd put dye date in April and mine and DHs birthday are both in April!

@Boboelephant thank you hun!

@JessaBean thank you 😊 I’m counting down the days haha!

Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon 🤞

@lolacola13 Ha ha!!... We really are twins!! Did you manage to get much in during your FW??

@Maydot hey twin! I'm 2 dpo also and my partner also doesn't want to know when I'm fertile because of the pressure lol. Fingers crossed for us!!

Hey everyone!... Congrats to all the BFPs, I love hearing your good news and fx to everyone still waiting xx
I’m about 2 dpo I think. Not too hopeful this month but as it’s my first cycle i’m not too worried. My OH and I have agreed that I don’t tell him when it’s my FW and we just DTD as normal, he hates the pressure so he’d hate it if we were only doing it to make a baby.
So i’m Officially in the TWW 😊

Thanks @Laney79. I'll defi look in to it. 😀 That's a great price. I'm guessing you're not in London?
@zarala thanks hun! Will contact her! Oh I know...i was in hospital the morning after my ectopic surgery when it was announced that Trump won. I felt like it wasn't just my world that had come crashing down at that point. It's so inhumane. 🙁
I'm so glad zaralaroid has stayed away and no beard! 😂

Hi @Boboelephant
So the lady is called Christine I saw has a place near Warren Street- her website is www.lightofre.com
If you contact her by email she's quite fast as responding

Luckily I haven't really had any side effects on the roids!
Slightly hungrier than usual (maybe!) but I have a voracious appetite anyway- so not really felt a difference- I'm just actively trying to be more conscious about how much I eat as the main side effect is putting on weight.
I've been quite emotional- but again could be hormones! (But those tender age cages were too much for me 😡)
But no hairs growing on my chin or acne or fits of rage! So hooray! So far so good!
Today's my last day on them (unless BFP tomorrow) until next ovulation!

Thanks for asking tho- for now I don't need to change my name 😎

@DaisyMay25 my AF is due Monday as well, I've POAS in Amazon cheapies with bfn but too scared to do it early on the real tests, as I've never POAS early before AF was due. What do you mean by ic? Fx for you tomorrow, you're brave to test early xx

@Boboelephant I really enjoyed it, and it feels a bit more scientific than some therapies. Make sure you find one trained in fertility-my lady is lovely and has had specific training for fertility/pregnancy/miscarriage. I'm going to keep going. It's £28 a session for me (and that's a good hour)

Thanks @Jessabean xx Hope return to work is not too painful!

Thanks @zarala. I remember you talking about arvigo therapy a while back. Yep I'll give anything a try and I am in London so would appreciate her details. Don't worry too much about your chart. My last two have looked super promising and clearly have not led to anything so you just never know! How are the steroids going?
@Laney79 I haven't tried it but have been meaning too. Started googling it yesterday actually! Thought as acupuncture hasn't been successful maybe I'd give reflexology a go.
@DaisyMay25 sorry for the bfn. Hope it's a nice line tonorrow!
I feel really out of sync with everyone. So many people in tww!

Hi everyone

Apologies I've not been on for a while- was trying to make the most of my last couple days of holiday and trying to get my head in the right place for coming g back to work.

I've missed so much!

@RedRobin7 congratulations 🎉I am so happy for you! Feels like just yesterday we were trying to deal with the aftermath of our MMCs and makes me feel so positive about things seeing things moving along well for you. Please do keep in touch. As @KnitKitty said pregnancy post miscarriage is a scary place at times. I know my last pregnancy the whole first trimester was a bit of mental battle between hope and worry but there is every chance that things will go well. As you say statistics are in your favour and if you look at old TTC post miscarriage boards the overwhelming likelihood is that all of us will eventually get that healthy baby & there is absolutely nothing to say you won't be holding this little bean in 8 months time! Sending you lots of healthy bean baby dust & am here anytime you need to chat.

@Murderino & @rdm10 Also likewise congratulations guys! 🎉 Likewise please do keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. Here for you guys too!

@hayleyfx so glad your scan went well- not long to go now of dreaded "worst/first" trimester!

@Boboelephant I'm so sorry for you that last month wasn't your month. I echo what everyone else has been saying about how your such a lovely supportive person to the rest of us and so just want it to be your time. I wish I could give some advice but I think so much of this is due to chance sometimes -it definitely seems you are doing so much and everything right already. If it does help I'm throwing any mental baby dust I have your way though!

@KnitKitty how are you getting on? Have things sorted themselves out cycle wise for you now?

@DaisyMay25 good luck! Fingers crossed 🤞

Also welcome any newbies!

I'm still waiting for my OH to come back so I can jump him/on the TTC wagon- hoping he might come back in time for July cycle ovulation - will just have to see! 🤷‍♀️
In the meantime trying to think about how to physically and mentally manage TTC with the shit tone of work stress that's going to be coming my way over the next 4 months! 🙈

@Boboelephant have you given reflexology a go? When I was diagnosed with the MMC a friend suggested it to try and help the process along naturally. My body was uber stubborn as you guys know, so it didn't work for me, but there are some reflexologists who specialise in fertility (mine is one of them-she had 4 MC's herself).

If nothing else it's very relaxing xxx

@Boboelephant bfn on ic, using frer tomorrow in honour of poas Friday! I'm not hopeful though, AF is due Monday.
