I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

@dinosaur17 how many weeks after mc are you? Sorry for all the questions! I think my tests have been evap lines unfortunately, getting lots of cramps so not feeling positive, trying to gauge if af is on her way, I'm CD24.

@Hayleylou89 I've heard bleeding gums could be an early symptom, have you had any other symptoms?

dinosaur17 · 16/04/2020 09:31

@francis05 Thank you, yes first one so I know we’d have been really lucky to have caught again this cycle.

@Hayleylou89 keeping my fingers crossed for May. Goes so quickly doesn’t it. I know things are hard at the min as well as it’s so difficult to distract myself!
Not sure about the gums! Can you find any previous posts on here about it?
Keeping everything crossed for the both of you!

Hayleylou89 · 16/04/2020 09:27

Sorry to hear that @dinosaur17... not long until ur back In the tww, it will come round quickly x

Hayleylou89 · 16/04/2020 09:26

Ok so this is wierd...my gums bled this morning brushing my teeth, has this ever happened to anyone and it be a sign of being pregnant or is it just the hormones causing this? X

francis05 · 16/04/2020 09:19

@dinosaur17 so sorry! 😔 But like you said it's a fresh start and you can look ahead to your next cycle.
Is this your first cycle post mc? Sorry lost track of the thread x

VP91x · 16/04/2020 09:17

@dinosaur17 at least in a few days you will be back to be able to TTC again! Definitely keep positive for next month,,

dinosaur17 · 16/04/2020 09:13

Thank you @VP91x I’m glad the not knowing is over, I was driving myself mad! Gutted but feeling positive for next month x

VP91x · 16/04/2020 09:09

Ah @dinosaur17 I'm sorry that AF has shown up 😔 sending you a big hug xxx

dinosaur17 · 16/04/2020 09:01

Morning all,

AF has turned up to ruin my party, as expected. So that’s me out! Keeping my hopes up for the rest of you guys for a BFP! X

Mommybear05 · 16/04/2020 08:55

@Ejb86 just googled the organised mom method. Must try that! Anything is a welcome distraction! X

Mommybear05 · 16/04/2020 08:22

@dinosaur17 ah that test is now hard to see! When will you buy more tests? X

Ejb86 · 16/04/2020 08:21

@mommybear05 almost every room is partially decorated Grin I've also started the Organised Mum Mehod and I'm cleaning up a storm. Think the cleaning is easing my anxiety around the situation and giving me a focus, rather than being sat around with my lb. Hubby has started calling the lawn his baby, he's been busy working on the garden.

@francis05 aw sorry about your bfn! Big hugs. But I’m hoping that you just tested too early. You’re not out just yet. Are you doing anything nice today to take your mind off things/ lift your mood? X

Mommybear05 · 16/04/2020 08:17

@Rainbowhope11 well we can’t afford a brand new kitchen so we are taking off all cupboard doors and priming and sanding and painting and changing all the handles. We’ve knocked all the tiles off the walls and dads coming to retile and change the laminate worktops. Then we’re replacing the sink and tap so that should freshen it up until we can afford to get it ripped out. We want to knock into the dining room and open up the space so ££££ and we will make do for now! Having real domestics about the colours though!
Anybody else feel like they’re channelling all their ttc frustrations towards a project?
Wow I’d never be brave enough to set up business for myself that sounds really interesting.

Could the white in cm actually be toilet tissue that got stuck? Yes I felt like I wasn’t ovulating before first cycle post mc too. Just dtd and you can’t do anymore. Yes the hcg will mess about with the opk results. What sticks are you using? Are you keeping any sort of record on them? X

Mommybear05 · 16/04/2020 08:11

@VP91x completely agree x

Hayleylou89 · 16/04/2020 08:03

@francis05 if ur only at the least dpo u could be as u said u didnt know yest it could be 10-14dpo so u could only be around 11 dpo today then it still could be early especially for a digital xx ur not out until AF arrives! Im 6 dpo today but not feeling much so far to be honest, not holding out much hope for myself, my temps rising slowly but last time my temps were sky high in the tww xx

francis05 · 16/04/2020 07:46

So I was stupid this morning and did a cb digital... Got a bfn!! So gutted and its put me in the worse mood for the rest os the day. Surely if I was it would have been positive by now.
Maybe symptoms on Tues were ovulation? Grrrr

Renna · 15/04/2020 21:42

@Dipsy77 oo interesting. When I've tracked the days we DTD on the app it did give me like a score /percentage I guess of likelihood of conceiving. But I see what you mean about the analysis on the app. If I'm not lucky this month or after couple months I'd maybe upgrade it. But yeah interesting to know if any one finds it helps using the premium ? Xx I see theres an option to do it for one month , could maybe try it see if it feel like it helps ? X x

Dipsy77 · 15/04/2020 21:16

@Renna it says it analyses the data and advises when best to DTD and will tell you if you have any abnormalities and score your CM and how many times you DTD, I suppose you can do that yourself but it says the premium does all that for you, as I'm currently up through the night with a 7 month old my Temping isn't that accurate I tend to do it around 9.30 when she is asleep on me it's impossible any other time as she is either crying for a bottle or moaning because her dummy has popped out I don't ever wake naturally to take my temp xx

Renna · 15/04/2020 20:28

@Dipsy77 I have the basic femometer app used it couple months before conceived before MC but not properly really. But used it the last month since MC actually using it more such as using the cheapies and BBT and think it's actually quite good . It told me this today on the app.. see attached about ovulation and the intelligent recognition for the cheapies is good. So even the basic app is really good . Do you know what else the premium offers ?
I'm not even very good at BBT as I dont temp at regular times really as waking up at different times. X

@rainbowhope11 usually after ovulation and before my period I've noticed it. X

Rainbowhope11 · 15/04/2020 18:11

@HE88 forgot to ask, when in your cycle do you usually get that type of cm that I mentioned?

Rainbowhope11 · 15/04/2020 17:04

@HE88 thank you so much 😊 if I don't get lucky this month, I'm happy to just see AF so I know that things are getting back to normal

HE88 · 15/04/2020 17:02

@rainbowhope11 ah ok keeping my fingers crossed for you 😊 x

Rainbowhope11 · 15/04/2020 16:56

@HE88 I wish I knew! I have no idea for sure, but considering my ewcm stopped on Saturday/Sunday, maybe 4dpo? Oh that's good, glad to hear that it's normal 😊 that's a relief
