Anyone starting the TWW #2

@Gems7 he should know by now that ttc sex is always unromantic hahah!

Did you give it a go?

5dpo for me now so getting towards rhe point where I will start to stress

@Annny27 OH asked (again) earlier when it was safe to DTD.. so I said "well we can try and give it a go later if you want" not realising how completely unromantic it sounded .. he just looked at me and rolled his eyes 🤣🤣
I feel the same though, just need to get it out of the way and see if I'm okay after, haha it's been aaaggeessssssss
Fingers crossed this is your month!! Xxx

Morning :) @Gems7 that's good that the pregnancy test seems negative! Mine was positive for a long time so my cycle was delayed but yours might not be too far off!

We DTD once before first AF and it was more "let's get this over with" haha because it was sore and I just wanted to get the first one over :p didn't use condom but didn't finish inside (sorry tmi haha)

And yeah I am always fairly chilled until about 9dpo then its crazy times 🤣

@Annny27 morning huni 😊 I am okay thankyou, just getting ready for work. Did a pregnancy test 5 minutes ago and I'm pretty sure it's negative (I feel like I can see where the second line should be without actually seeing it if that makes sense 😂 I've done that bloody many over the last few weeks though it's no surprise!)

How do you feel this cycle? You always seem pretty chilled to me, you must obsess a little bit though..
I can't wait to be in the TWW, I'm sure i will hate it like everyone else after a few months but right now I can't wait to be back at it, they told me to wait until after AF to try again, I still haven't DTD yet but I feel physically able to now..
did you wait until after first AF before DTD?

@PrettyTulip I agree, I think you need to try something like that, or Letrozole whatever they use these days, or even agnus castus.

Xxx

Morning everyone :) 4dpo here and enjoying the first half of the tww before the stress starts :p

@Missgoldilocks temping is useful especially as when your temp drops its an early warning that AF will arrive! Has period ended yet?

@PrettyTulip ahhh so stressful for you! Have the doctors mentioned clomid to you?

@gems7 how are you lovely?

@anny27 I'm going to try and temp again this cycle just so I can make sure I'm ovulating on cd15 and not cd16 but that's about it! My OH was asking about self insemination kits for the times we can't be bothered but I don't know about that either
How are you?

@Annny27 nothing for me so maybe I'm not going back to a ' normal ' cycle haha
I understand what you mean with the temping, I think that stressed me out too xx

@PrettyTulip well fingers crossed she arrives soon!!

@Missgoldilocks are you gonna do anything different this month or just try and take things easy?

I stopped temping now as it was getting stressful and I know I ovulate after a positive opk so no point stressing me out in further

@PrettyTulip well then I'm glad it's coming for you!! Xx

@anny27 I'm okay thanks just keeping busy. How are you xx

@Gems7 hope you're okay hun xx

@Annny27 yeah i know, one of the only times in my life I'll think I'll be happy to see a period! And at the right kind of time too! Xx

@Gems7 forgot to tag you in my last message ^^

@PrettyTulip ooh exciting - feels weird to be hoping you have a period but I know you need your cycle to restart properly :D

Morning lovely @Annny27
I think it's coming, no symptoms but a little pink when I've wiped x

yes we all WILL be pregnant one day hopefully soon💪 I think my period started 41 days after the surgery

1dpo for me now so in the tww!

@Missgoldilocks how are you doing?

@PrettyTulip did AF arrive?

@Annny27 we are lucky to have found each other! I hope in 12 months from now when every one of us WILL either be pregnant or have babies we still chat. That will be nice ☺️
Just got back from a walk by myself, I feel fab now, headphones in, switched off from the world for a bit, total relaxation.
Really hope my cycle isn't messed up for ages! 🤞🏻 xxx

@Gems7 thanks lovely! We all deserve it on this thread, we are lucky to have found each other!

And yeah during the procedure they lightly scrape the uterus lining (sounds gross) but often the lining is then too thin for a cycle or two but mines back to normal heaviness of periods now :)

@Annny27 yeah the lining thing will be accurate won't it, I didn't know they took lining away in the d&c.. assumed it was some sort of suction like the MVA.. when I ended up in hospital having the surgery I refused to read the leaflet and google the procedure, I was so traumatised after the MVA and had no choice but to have the surgery anyway.
I only wish the tissue would have come away naturally 😢
Really really hope this is a positive month for you, you deserve it so much, keep us posted 💓 xx

@Gems7 I think if your miscarriage is before 6 weeks and natural then I have seen lots of people conceive fairly quickly but as our lining was taken away in the surgery I think it takes a few months to build back up (that's what my doctor said anyway) and I noticed my first 3 periods were lighter! So obviously had not enough lining the few few cycles

Thanks lovely 💗💗 yeah I can't wait for my ttc journey to be over haha

@Annny27 Big hugs for today then, it must be hard 😞 all I hear is how super fertile you are after a miscarriage but it's really not the case for everyone is it, your body will just get pregnant in its own time. I don't think I am going to fall quickly either, I have a gut feeling that it's going to be a struggle like last time.
I can't wait to just feel "normal" physically and then we can get trying again xxx

@Gems7 this is the 6th month of trying since the miscarriage! Its actually my due date today so its hard to think I would have had my baby by now!

It took us 4 months to conceive the first time and now onto month 6! Think my hormones were a bit messed up after miscarriage

Fingers crossed you get AF soon! It will be good to get back into ttc

@Annny27 eeekkk ovulation day 🙏🏻🙌🏻😬🤞🏻
How many months has it been since your miscarriage now?

I'm okay, back at work, back to normal, hope AF arrives soon and I don't have to wait weeks and weeks for it! I want to try again as soon as possible. I've ordered a load of OPK's from amazon so I'm ready.
Still struggling "down there" with thrush like symptoms, I haven't called the gp back about it though I'll give it a few more days I think.

Hope all you girls are okay xx

Morning girls :) had a few days of peak and now its a high reading so I have ovulated today (cd15) pretty sure!

How are you all getting on?

@Missgoldilocks omg January!! Thats insane

Yeah deffo if you can afford it then go private in a few months. I am still waiting for the fertility clinic to receive my referral.

Had a pretty strong (not quite peak) opk today at cd13 so probably get peak tomorrow 🙌

@Gems7 good luck for your first day back in work. Glad things are feeling a bit better physically

@Gems7 thanks hope your day today isn't too stressful xx
I rang my doctor today to get a referral for my tubes to be checked but I have to wait till 14th January! That's the next available appointment oh my god I would have been trying 17 months by then lol anyway if we don't fall in another 3 months or so then I'll pay to have my tubes checked, I just need to. Make sure my tubes are OK xx

@Missgoldilocks Thanks huni, still a bit sore down there, but I'm getting there, back to work tomorrow so just watching a film in bed and browsing on my phone until I fall asleep.
It's hard not to obsess every month but I think less stress is vital for your mental health, you have to look after yourself. It is going to happen for you, it's just like everyone says it's going to happen at a random moment when you're really not expecting it 😘 xx

Thanks girls. I think I'm at the point now where I need to just think it's never gonna happen tbh otherwise I'll lose my mind. I'm going to really try and not focus on it I definitely know I'm not going to have loads of sex like we did last month because it's way too much pressure I'll just keep it to twice maximum day before and day of ovulation. Good luck @anny27 and I hope you're healing okay @Gems7 xx
