TTC After Pregnancy Loss Thread 22.

@Lovemysparkle how are you hun? How was the wedding? Are you still on honeymoon?? Please update us with your lovely sparkly stories!

@Cakelaur and how are you doing? Hope everything is going great!

Haha yup- sexy week is even in our shared calendar so OH knows what's up ! Such a shame we're apart in July! But oh well...

@YellowDaffodils86 what cycle is this since your MC? This is now my 4th since my last one and I still don't think I'm back to "normal"
But I have also had a bit of spotting today so expecting AF to arrive in full force tomorrow

@achanger it definitely is an emotional ride!

@weasledee that IS impressive! You go girl! JKS JKS JKS! Fx this is the one for you!!!

Excellent Weasledee! Go, go, go!!!!

Sorry AF seems to be making an appearance YellowDaffodils86. It'd be worth test again if the bleeding doesn't get stronger just to be sure in case it's "pregnancy bleeding", but I know you won't be getting your hopes up after what your last AF was like. Bodies are so weird aren't they!!!

Pancakes7 I hope this lot of antibiotics does the trick. Feel better soon! Drink lots of cranberry juice.

Ladies! I think this is the strongest positive OPK I've ever had! I'm impressed with my ovulation skills tonight not bad for a 42 year old!!! Ha ha!

This thread moves so quick! Short period for me this month, finished yesterday so will start OPKs on the weekend. It's so emotional isn't it!

@TinyPaws so glad all went well! 👍
@zarala yep I know what you mean! I never had any idea before about my cycles, now I so attuned to every tiny detail! Haha I like the name 'sexy week'!
@Pancakes7 glad they gave you antibiotics. Hope it clears up soon.
@YellowDaffodils86 hello! I was just thinking about you. So sorry it sounds like af has come. I had everything crossed for you. Hope you have had a lovely holiday though.

This thread is moving really fast at the moment ! Been away watching Ed Sheeran so a lovely break just in time for fw so fingers crossed this in my month ! Will catch up later on

@zarala sexy week haha! I like it!

@Pancakes7 you poor thing, UTIs can be so painful too. I hope it's gone quickly!

@YellowDaffodils86 *sorry not so

@YellowDaffodils86 so your having a really crappy time. Have you enjoyed your holiday?

Hello everyone
Iv bot been as good keeping up with things as on holiday.
I will have a quick skim through.

@Boboelephant i cant believe he went on to say the next bit🤦🏽‍♀️

I think AF arrived today. Its cycle day 37!!
Iv had on and off cramping today. I popped a tampon in - TMI- and later it only had a little blood and a little pink when i wiped. Nothing else apart from that. She will probably come in force tomorrow, or i will have an another weird light spotting af!
I don't understand why AF is all over the place and this time a week late!
Annoyed and deflated.

Anyway will read through all iv missed..

Thanks all for the kind comments. Got different antibiotics. Fingers crossed they work. They lost my results from the other week.... so phoning Thurdsay for results of the test. @Laney79 Thank you for all yje tips! All sound great. My dh will love the games museum especially. So nice to have something to look forward to. We are also sorting our house. Mil is down from tomorrow eve. Mil and dh are begining the diy.

Excellent news @TinyPaws ! What a relief!
Fx you get lucky this month!

@Boboelephant it feels a bit weird- but you're right it's not really that off, I'm CD29 and I have had 30 day cycles since last MC so I'm not really late...because I'm monitoring everything this month it just feels strange being acutely aware of these things

I have no idea how long my luteal phase is as I've never tracked before
My cycles used to be 26-28days- I've always managed to conceive on first "tries"- which usually meant we didn't use protection during the "danger zone" (presently renamed "sexy week") cd9-cd16 and we just JKS whenever we felt like it and then I'd fall pregnant that month! It was always so casual and easy.
But anyway- from August I'll be on SMEP plan and hoping it doesn't take too long. Fx for me and for everyone! 🙏🏽🤞🏽🙏🏽

@tinypaws Really glad it went well at the clinic.
@pancakes7 so sorry that you are having a rough time of it. Sometimes ttc after mc just sucks. Be kind to yourself, this WILL pass.

Thanks all for your encouragement today! I feel lucky to have such a supportive huddle. x

@TinyPaws that's great news xx

@Pancakes7 Sorry you're feeling crappy, hope you get some good drugs!

@Laney79 Sorry AFs being a bitch.

Thank you to everyone that sent good luck wishes! My scan this morning went swimmingly, the cyst has completely gone, so this cycle is a go! I start injectables today them back for a follow up scan in a week.

Having quite a heavy period but this is my first "proper" period since miscarriage - the last one was very odd.

@zarala how weird! Although I suppose if you're 13dpo then af isn't really too late. Do you normally only have an 11 day LP? The apps can go a bit haywire after MC, I take my predicted af date with a pinch of salt. Hope you get an answer soon.
@ek78 yay for static smiley! Almost in the tww!!! JKS- you too @Anyday88!
@Pancakes7 sorry the UTI has returned. Hope GP sorts you out. Sorry for the limbo too, it's really hard but most people do have to wait 4-6 weeks after SMM so it's very normal! Enjoy Berlin- it's amazing!!! Also do one of the free walking tours from the Brandenburg gate, they cover so much!
@KnitKitty glad you're ticking along and not feeling stressed. Long may it continue!
@Laney79 oh that sounds so tough! Poor thing. Hope your body is getting a nice clear out and fx for birthday baby!!! Also HP world is so so good- I've been 3 times!

@Laney79 eugh sounds like a nasty AF- do you take any iron? My naturopath told me to take floradix after my last MC- I also bled for a whole month- and I honestly felt a lot better on the floradix.

No AF and I don't have anything to pee on!
My temps plummeted even lower this morning so I am expecting AF to show up today.
I might POAS tomorrow if not.
But my temps really don't look good- I mean even FF doesn't know how to analyse them!

@Pancakes7 I hate UTIs eugh sorry.
I hope they sort you out today! Sending you penguin hugs!

I am loving this heat wave! Just wish didn't have to be in the office 🙄

Hope everyone else has a good day!

Oh @Pancakes7 we went to Berlin in January -it's amazing (and was actually where we conceived our little bean). You'll have a fab time! Georgebrau is a fab brauhaus that does wonderful goulash, do book in to see the Reichstag (it's free, but if you book you avoid the queues!) we also enjoyed going into the Humboldt box and looking at the city from the roof terrace at the top.,.oh and museums wise don't miss the DDR museum and if you like nostalgic computer games then there's a computer games museum too! We also did the Berlin Wall east side gallery and the holicaust memorial and topography of terror (very difficult but felt we should do them, very humbling) Enjoy-it's a wonderful city.

@Pancakes7 hope the gp is a good one if not box him/her round the lug holes until they get the idea. Good luck hun x

Thanks @lilimum4 @Laney79 @Knitkitty for the kind comments. Got a gp appointment at 10. Earliest they had even though I rang spot on at 8.30. Having to see a different gp so they best take me seriously. I'm not leavingwithout antibiotics.
@Knitkitty You never know. You're still in till af shows! Fx for you.
@Laney79 Aw sorry you're having a bad af. Fx you feel better soon and you get that bfp soon. But try and enjoy your Birthday either way. Make some birthday plans to look forward to. It's good to carry on enjoying yourself. I'm trying to do this rather than having my life ruled by ttc. We just booked flights to Berlin to celebrate our first Wedding anniversary.

@Laney79 not at all your birthday wish list might as well be mine too. Hope you start to feel better after this AF get done x

@Pancakes7 totally understand the need to feel normal-so sorry it's dragging on for you. Into the huddle!

@TinyPaws good luck!

@ek78 Oooh! Go go go! And don't forget to give it another go tomorrow too!

@zarala Any AF/poas news?

@KnitKitty You never know! But great you are relaxed-wish I could be!

AF is nasty this month, but then I suppose it is my first proper one (last month went straight from 4+weeks of miscarriage bleeding into it) -I feel trashed! Very lethargic and nauseous, and I'm losing a fair bit of blood. Just hope that that means my body is doing a nice spring clean so my bits are ready to welcome a sticky bean in time for my 39th birthday (24th July) -is it terrible that my birthday list actually says as the thing I most want "to be pregnant with a healthy baby" (it's then followed by a trip to Harry Potter world, a weekend away or three Johnny Depp DVDs!)

Pancakes7 I'm so sorry things aren't going well still. Hopefully this UTI gets sorted too and then you might feel more normal again. AF can take a while to reappear after MC. Do you know if/when you ovulated this cycle?

I'm ok today. I'm 8DPO I think but not really in with a chance this month unless by some miracle and I've so far been managing not to symptom spot - mainly because I've had no symptoms which I could misconstrue! lol I don't feel PMSy yet either; just plodding along waiting for next cycle.

@Pancakes7 sorry to hear your not feeling good. You've no need to feel guilty your health must come first. Please be kind to yourself today xx
