TTC After Pregnancy Loss Thread 22.

Good morning ladies how are you ?

It's been a month yesterday since mmc/smm. Still no af and a bfn. My uti is back as gp only gave me 3 days of antibiotics. So annoyed to feel like this again and having to have time off work to go to the gp again. I feel so guilty to keep being off. I am hating my body right now. I just want to be normal again ☹😢😭

@ek78 go go go!! Dh is back today so think we will go again tonight just in case 😊

Good luck @TinyPaws

@TinyPaws good luck today lovely

Thanks for the encouragement to keep on with this month's mission @bobtheelephant @tinypaws @laney79 @zarala! Today I got the static smiley (yay!) so I think I'm just on for a very long cycle this time. Really happy to see it at last!
@anyday88 fingers crossed that it worked for you!
@tinypaws good luck for today! Let us know how you get on at the clinic.

Thanks @Boboelephant and @zarala.

@zarala When did you last POAS? (Sorry I'm sure you've already mentioned it somewhere, I'm having trouble keeping up with the thread!) Hope AF stays away and this is your month.

Thanks for putting up with me today ladies.

Baby dust to everyone xx

@afictionado the vagina cannon ?!? Words escape me!

@TedLife good luck! Hope AF stays away and this is your month!

@TinyPaws good luck at the clinic tomorrow! Hope all is good!

@ek78 JKS!!! Have fun! Good luck!

@Laney79 Sorry AF got you- but on a more positive note, you guys probably needed that Greek JKS holiday- you have been through a lot- and even if it hasn't resulted in a pregnancy it's also really good to rekindle and enjoy these moments with our partners! I mean 3+ months! You guys definitely deserved to enjoy yourselves!

@Lilimum4 you should be ok! But from what I understand sperm only realistically lives for about 2 days (not 5-7 as usually reported!). 5-7 days is in the ultimate amount of time they can survive in an optimal test tube environment.
I have started getting ovulation pains since my MCs but not noticed any other strange symptoms !

@HidCat welcome to the other side of FW! Hope it passes quickly for you!

I'm now dpo12. AF due today but still no sign. I am also exceptionally gassy, which is usually my first symptom of pregnancy! But my temps are still really low- in fact after this mornings input FF decided nothing makes sense and isn't able to pinpoint when ovulation was anymore...
I have of course 🤦🏻‍♀️ started googling "can you still be pregnant with low bbt" and of course there has been a case of some lady in Texas writing in a forum - so I am now starting to wonder whether it could be?!
🙄
Hahaha
Well if AF doesn't show up by tomorrow morning I will probably POAS again

@Lilimum4 I'd put it as positive.

@Lilimum4 I agree with the others. Your timing is great! No experience with those symptoms though. I think we are just alot more in tune with our bodies after MC.
@TinyPaws good luck for tomorrow! Everything crossed for you. I hope it doesn't take long. The money aspect is another unwelcome consideration for you I'm sure!
@sweetpea0318 ah thankyou. I thought just once a day so I'll have some more. As for the grapefruit juice, it was pink!! 😂 I just really hate it!
@Laney79 sorry it wasn't your month. It's so disappointing after a holiday. Fx for next month for you.
@HidCat and @Anyday88 fx for you both for this month!!

Sorry about all the questions today I don't know what has rattled my cage

Another question
I had positive opk at 10am but negative at 2pm which do I enter in to ff app

@ek78 I have been in the same situation this month. Tuesday morning was negative and then from Tuesday afternoon I had the flashing smiley and it was still flashing yesterday and then I ran out of sticks but also my husband is away with work now so just have to hope that the jks we had already done have worked 🤞🏻

Well, deffo AF for me-started to bleed more heavily today, so our Greek JKS marathon didn't give us a little yannis or Maria...onto next month I guess.

@ek78 definately JKS! I bought a load of IC as well as the non flashy CB opks and they seemed to work whilst we were away-I used the CB ones with fmu and did the ic ones in the afternoon and sometimes before bed too-so I had a good idea of how long my surge was. I got a negative CB sun morning but a positive ic that day at 1700, following morning CB was positive first thing as was IC that afternoon-following day both negative.

@Lilimum4 id say a good chance-better that they are ready and waiting! Not had any weird pains or tastes/smells-although during fw I was incredibly randy!!! I think it was a combo of hormones and the fact it's been so long with what happened with my MC (was a good 3+ months)

@boboelephant I'm taking 2 x 5ml spoons at breakfast, lunch & dinner with a glass of water to wash it down each time. Maybe try pink grapefruit juice? I quite like that one - mixed it with gin last weekend ha!

Oh I hope so Ladies.

Another odd question for you ladies. Since my last mc every time I ovulate I get a lot of pain ovulation pains I think and also you know the feeling when you finished sucking a mint and you breath in through your mouth and you get that cold intake. I get that the day of ovulation and for a few days after. Does any one else get any strange symptoms like this ?

@ek78 Good luck! I think you're still in with a good shot, all you can do is JKS. OPKs never worked for me, I missed the surge every time, but I am definitely ovulating!

@Boboelephant Yes, I did, thanks for asking! Appointment tomorrow morning, may my lining be thin and my cyst be gone (there's not much hope for my bank balance though!)

@Lilimum4 I heard sperm can survive up to 5 days in the female reproductive tract and that the best days are the day before ovulation and ovulation day itself so I'd say your chances are pretty good!

Lilimum4, relax, you're in with a very good chance. :) Those wee spermies will be in there already waiting for the egg.

Feeling gutted. Defo ovulating today pain pain pain but DH to tired. What do you think my chances are of a bfp if we DTD yesterday and day before or am I grasping at straws

@afictionado no!!! Cannot believe someone said that to you. That is totally horrendous.
@Jessabean thanks for that article.
I've gone and bought grapefruit juice (puke!) and cough syrup. I hate anything bitter- coffee and tonic water included- so did not enjoy that gf juice when I got home! Mixed it with Apple juice, necked it down quickly followed by the cough syrup! @sweetpea0318 how much cough syrup do you have? Also baby carrots and sweet potatoes are good one to have!
@TedLife fx!!
@TinyPaws Ooh exciting! Did you get hold of them?
@ek78 JKS!!!!!

@afictionado 'firing the vagina cannon'!!!! No words!! The world would be a much better place if randoms at parties were less interested in enquiring about what we are or aren't doing with our vaginas!
@bobothelephant that sounds like such a lovely moment.

I'm having another cycle of a million (ok, 8) days of flashy smileys and no static again. Was away from DP from day 2-5 of the flashy smiley so unlikely to be my month whatever is going on. It's either anavolutary or my surges are shorter since the last mc and I'm not catching it. Having said that, the two lines on the digital ops sticks have been equal colour for the last 2 days so it's a case of jks and see... I'll get internet cheapies for next month so I can track the lines.

I think my period has started so trying to get hold of the clinic to arrange the next cycle... eep!

I say 'I think' because normally it starts quite heavy but so far I've only had light bleeding. I feel crampy though and was expecting period today/tomorrow from cervical mucus so hopefully this is it.

Morning team TTC,

Had a friend visiting so haven't been able to post but tried to have a glance over everything every now and then. Hope everyone is doing well and feeling positive in a new week

Entering week 2 of TWW - now 10dpo. Nervous is an understatement. Hoping to test on Saturday when Flo predicts AF is due but may crack earlier. Questioning everything: Feel like we may have stopped dtd just a day too early, i've been too focused on this for it to really happen etc etc etc.

Anyone else testing this week?
