TTC after miscarriage - April 2020 part 2

@Ejb86 yay you have your peak! That’s great news! Enjoy 😉 xx

Sorry @Hayleylou89 didnt see your message before I posted mine..sorry was a bfn but was an IC .. have you tried your frer yet or want to hold off using that ? X like we all say... AF still not arrived so still a chance despite how you're feeling 😘

And for you @francis05 shes still not here so that's a good sign 🤞 keeping fingers crossed xx

Excited for you getting your peak @Ejb86 and that you can relax knowing it has happened xx have fun with DTD 😁 deffo is the best part of the cycle, I feel like you feel most positive around that time because we are women after all and during this time we feel like we can be proactive doing something about it haha ...

@SmileyT not doing much different .. maybe just persistence ! Lol at the beginning when I just saw it jumping up and down around time of AF I was like what am I supposed to get from this ... but now having carried on and nearly done the whole cycle and looking at it as a whole I kinda see the pattern. Lower before ovulation . Hopefully the dip and rise was my ovulation. And now higher ... hopefully staying higher !! But we will see . I dont wake up same time either but read as long as its roughly a 2 hour window. I considered setting an alarm to do it but haven't done that yet. I think main thing it's good for is confirming ovulation because if I go months without a BFP and I dont see dips and rises I'd go seek medical help to confirm.if ovulating . Xx

@Hayleylou89 not sure when it's due, it's 4 weeks tomorrow since surgery so using that as a ball park figure. Yeah ic this morning, did use a frer in friday but bfn, don't really want to waste my last one yet.
Think the lines I had on the ic last week were evaps as look to be getting another one this morning x

Thanks @SmileyT ... I know we got to have hope 🙏🙏

@francis05 when is AF due for u... are u using IC tests? Xx

@Ejb86 so good to see that peak isnt it 👏🏻 see u in the tww xx

@francis05 and @Hayleylou89 you are not out until AF arrives, I know it's hard to stay positive sometimes but feel like you have to hold onto that hope and then if AF does appear you can just reset and start again.

@Ejb86 ahh it's the best time when you get your peak, yep just DTD tonight and it means he has extra time to get those great swimmers straight to the egg 👌🏾

@Renna I always say you need to have a balance in a relationship, I'll discuss the options for hours and DP will just come home, weigh them up and make a decision, some people would hate it but works for us. Also love that your OH did your nails, I tried that once but pretty sure he wasn't keen so just did a terrible job 😂 Yeah I keep thinking somebody has to get a BFP on this thread, it'd actually make my day when we get it, especially knowing what everyone has been through it'll just be that little bit more special.

Have you started doing anything different with temping? I feel like it's a great tool if you crack it but I just wake up at different times everyday 🙄 it's definitely a good sign if it stays high all through the week 🤞

WOOHOO @Ejb86!! I knew you’d get your peak!! 😃

So since Jan 2019 which is when i stated using natural cycles to avoid pregnancy as i was getting married but wanted to get the depo injection out my system for after we were married and to start trying so in no order as each month was different i had

1 x 32 day cycle
2 x 35 day cycles
3 x 38 day cycles

My maths skills are terrible but Iv was thinking i only have about 9 chances a year to get pregnant compared to someone who has an average 28 day cycle and has a chance each month 🙈 because if my cycles are the longer 38 day length i lose 10 days a cycle to be able conceive. 👎 x x

Another bfn for me this morning 😔 sorry about yours @Hayleylou89 I'm cycle day 28 today, no sign of af yet xx

@Hayleylou89 🤞 hopefully will.. got lots of work still to get on with 😴 . Aw I do feel like we did everything right this cycle but then means nothing and is often when you're not lucky and you're like I couldnt have done anything more !? Lol maybe other than having the odd alcoholic beverage here and there but I needed it for my sanity... 🤣 I'm hopeful for you still babe you've had some good positive signs 🤞 and af is technically late based on your shorter lengthed cycles. Have you held off doing cheapie tests or you still been doing them? Xx

@SmileyT if that's normal for you though that's also a good thing as means you're back to normal and that's such a reassuring sign in a way for you going forward. My light AF just makes me think oh it was light in first AF means a thin lining is it gonna still be thin now 🙄 ..
Very sweet of your OH. My DH is the stress head and I'm the calm one.. (/inward stress head sometimes) haha so I try not burden him too much dont want him stressing and affecting those swimmers 🤣 he does other things for me like yday he was giving me a pedicure and gel nails on my toes!! He MUST be bored in lock down haha x
Aw that's so lovely of you to say 🌈😘😁 ... that would be the dream !! I feel like with the odds some one should be getting a BFP in this thread. Even if I was lucky enough to not need to go in the next thread I'd deffo be checking in on others getting their bfps. End up really rooting for each other dont you. 🌈💙 when will you be due to ovulate then some time the end of next week ? Xx

I think I I've actually started to nail tracking my temp... and seeing a bit of a pattern and I think if my temp drops towards end of this week I'll know AF is coming as it's still high at the mo . Xx

@Hayleylou89 sorry about your BFN this morning 😔 IC are not as sensitive as the FRER are they. Hopefully you don't get AF and can test again in a few days. Xx

@Hayleylou89 morning Hayley sorry about the bfn this morning but with my last pg I didn’t get my positive for quite a while so you never know it maybe possible you ovulated later??? Keep us updated what are u up to today? Xxx

What a nice message smiley. Yes I agree I don’t want to see you guys on that board! Everything crossed for you! Xxx

Yes my flow was quite heavy too but lasted for five days and then stopped. It seemed to come on quickly and stop quickly for some reason x

@SmileyT Sorry to hear AF got u :( xx Im usually cd 35-38 cycles and im cd 35 today and no AF first thing this morning but bfn on IC today ... still only 10dpo but not feeling positive about a bfp this cycle tbf so may be joining on the May Bus if she shows any day soon 😘 xx

@Renna I may have spoke to soon, AF was pretty heavy overnight - enough to go through a super tampon and nearly fill a pad in 5hrs (sorry TMI) - which is much more like what my first day is normally like so I guess I'm back to 'normal' Kinda liked the idea that my lining was thin and that was the only thing holding us back though.

And yeah DP does try bless him, think he has seen it's stressed me out this month so wants to take some of that burden (in between shed building and bbqing )

In the nicest possible way I don't want you joining the May group... I've got a good feeling for you this month. You, pup, OH and bump will be all settled in your new home by the end of this year looking forward to a fab 2021 ❤️

@Renna ... this week will hopefully fly for u and you will know either way soon if its a bfp ... I feel more confident in u than me as u cracked ur fertile window and i went all off track with it all 🙈😂 but still no AF yet so still not out. X

@SmileyT yeah I mean I was quite happy having a lighter AF until realising after reading what people say on here what it means about a thin lining . Hopefully after having first Af it goes back to normal so have a thicker lining now 🤞 aw thats good of him he sounds like a sweety getting involved. Mine would get involved but hed forget haha so I Just sort it 🤣 love it when it works out like that haha our peak this month fell on easter bank hol long weekend so I was like perfect both off work and if we arent lucky this cycle my next peak is first may bank hol again lol 👌 obvs hopefully wont be needing that but deffo a possibility! Thank you ! Will keep you posted even though few of you on new thread now 🌈😘 may end up joining you all but fingers crossed 🤞🤞🌈 hope this cycle is perfect for youu xx

@Bellabubble @Renna thanks for your stories about your first AF this makes sense it has felt much lighter than normal already, I normally have one heavy day and then a couple of lighter days but nothing like that today.

I'm just focusing on next cycle now... DP has got a bee in his bonnet about it now and has ordered himself some vitamins and the conceive plus (we'll just alternate with the preseed I already have). He has also been reading up on SMEP and dates work with his shift pattern so that's good.

Good luck to both of you for testing next week, hoping AF stays away, also thanks for the doggy pics today 😍

Interesting health tip on my app today 💙💞🌈 something we probably all struggle believing some times . Probably the hardest thing about it all xx

@bellabubble aw cute haha . Yeah that's tough if you went off the rota right now and but not wanting people to know. I'd be the same xx being safe is the priority though 🌈💙 we may end up testing around the same time then :) I'm due AF on Sunday so I may test Sunday if no sign or try hold out until Monday if no sign xx yeah my niggly pains are similar I think but also worried I'm looking into it too much .. xx

@Renna omg what an adorable puppy!! Definitely a great distraction when she comes!! I’ve been niggly too - not like cramps but it sort of feels a bit tight and some discomfort every so often! Who knows - I have until next week, last time I waited until a week after AF was due, but I’m a teacher so my head told me I need to say as soon as I know so that I can be taken off the rota (whilst I want to be safe I also don’t want everyone knowing so early on - but we’re a small team and me going off the rota is going to get everyone talking for sure!!) I’m due AF by mid next week - so was thinking of waiting until Sunday? That would make me a few days over my regular cycle just to be sure?

@Donnat89 gorgeous husky! My sister wanted a husky but I also have house rabbits and we were all loving at home at the time - the breeder said we probably shouldn’t have a husky with the rabbits, so my sister got a collie who spends half his day staring at my poor boy! Thank goodness we can move soon and my bunny can run around again properly!

@ejb86 wow on a positive you have conceived quickly in the past . But if you've got peak cd17 before and peak now sounds like that may be your usual and might be where you have peaked when conceiving twice before and you just didnt know it as you werent tracking. 🤞😘 or you could look into lengetheing cycle if worried . I've seen some things can do this I've read reviews of conceive plus tablets saying they lengthen peoples cycles xx hope you get your peak today can chill and enjoy DTD xxx

@Hayleylou89 nothing really . I am feeling really lethargic despite getting enough sleep etc but could be cabin fever being stuck in all the time. Have been for a nice walk today though. Do get the odd niggly pain but nothing other than that 🤷‍♀️ but I dont recall getting many symptoms last time either so it's hard to tell . Even once I got my BFP didnt get symptoms for a couple weeks like the sickness etc xxx
