I'm CD1 of cycle 2 TTC #1 so thought I'd start a new thread for anybody in the same situation who didn't get their April BFP.

I had a MMC found on a scan at 9.5weeks after seeing HB at 7 weeks 🙁 I had SMM on the 19th March but no luck in my first month and AF got me today. Normal cycles are 28days so I hope to be testing around the 20th May. This month I will be tracking ovulation using CB connected and trying out Preseed for the first time hoping this helps towards my 🌈 but tonight I'll just be having a G&T 💁🏾‍♀️

@Renna ahh fab sounds like ur well covered even if u dnt manage it today, So funny u putting the preseed in hoping to get lucky 🙈😂 ah well least its there if you do manage it today!! do u tell ur DH when ur ovulating and plan it with him? I have told him its next weekend im due to ovulate thats it but not going to tell him when i get my static after last month ... funny though because the reverse psychology seems to work best with my hubby, the less keen i seem the more keen he seems so im playing it out like im not too fussed and hes like "so what do we need to do then, every other day" he seems excited.. let see how excited he is once i hit my fertility window 😂...hes had quite a few HCG shots now so hes probably feeling it now, we dtd last night after a couple of drinks which was nice and not forced as such...still getting low on my cb still so think natural cycles will be spot on again with next weekend being ovualation time and we don't have the step kids next weekend so it works out well 🥰 Iv ordered the ferti lily too so to try an avoid ghose horrible uti's just hope it arrives in time, with the Ava too and my calc tabs arrived yest aswell so all prepared this cycle 😂 other than dtd as much as poss i cant do no more x x

Hey everyone, how are we all? I’ve been looking for a may ttw thread for ages because I am going mad with this wait. I am 13 dpo today and AF is due tomorrow. I have had lower back pain and cramping on and off and breasts a little tender, but I just help but feel this is not my month and I can’t be bothered at all with getting AF tomorrow 😭 is anyone else climbing the walls like me???

I have attached my bbt chart. Just feel like dipping temperature towards AF isn’t a good sign too. Uhh .

Morning hun @Hayleylou89. I'm 3dpo. We DTD for a couple days before ovulation .. on the day of ov .. the day after ... didnt DTD yesterday .. and I'm trying to entice DH to the one more for luck today like SMEP .. 😂 we will see how that goes lol think hes almost done in considering he has had a bad back too ... but it's a lazy sunday for us too around the house ... so no excuse right .. 😂🤷‍♀️ I thought I could entice him for some morning DTD .. so when I went to the toilet this morning I put a tiny bit of pre seed in ... no morning sex occured 😂😂 that was pointless haha ... maybe later 😂 but if not I feel like we DTD plenty . Even DTD twice on day of ov so think weve done all we can this month 🤞 now just to wait 😊 I feel less up tight about this TWW I think
. Just gonna let time pass see if AF arrives . Started taking the calc fluor yesterday. 🤞 xx
How are you ? Xxxxx

Hayleylou89 · 10/05/2020 10:23

@renna what DPO are u now? So excited for u, hope ur well. Nice lazy sunday for me today x

Hayleylou89 · 10/05/2020 10:13

@Mommybear05

Hey you ! So sorry AF has arrived for you and as a bit of a surprise...Iv heard that the seven seas tabs "trying for a baby" tabs are meant to be good for regulating periods I'm on the second cycle of them now so still in the testing period but there are a few good reviews about them and cant be no harm in trying them x

Hayleylou89 · 10/05/2020 09:35

@2020wish ah thats good just shows you how quick it can change, iv had 3 days of circles and my cheapies are also so faint but jv been getting ovulation pains but i have noticed now that i tend to get my pains around a week before & building up to ovulation too so it must just be how my body works, going to dtd every other day until peak then 3 days over ovulation miss a day then again like smep and see how we get on 🙏 x

I ordered the ferti lily last night aswell so i'm hoping that arrives before next weekend too 🙏 x

Mommybear05 · 10/05/2020 08:34

Thanks girls. @2020wish no it’s definitely af. Very heavy and painful. Come on quite fast too. I’ll be alright. Just not my time. I just feel a bit fed up about how it’s a 26 day cycle after a 31 day. My body’s all over the place! But I know this is common especially as it’s the first month I stopped bf. It’s a bit bitter after those comments from my neighbours yesterday. But will get over it! Xx

2020wish · 10/05/2020 08:32

@SmileyT I wear a fit bit. How are u pinpointing what hr rate ur tracking

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 08:26

@2020wish yep I just track on my Fitbit 👌🏾

@Mommybear05 ahh sorry that AF got you, but it's the start of a new cycle and another opportunity for you. Carry on being relaxed and enjoying time with your little family and it will happen for you xx

@Mommybear05 :( hopefully that’s your cycle starting to settle. Sorry af has come. Is it defiantly af now? No chance if implantation?

VP91x · 10/05/2020 08:08

@Mommybear05 ah, I am sorry that AF has arrived 😔😔😔 how are you feeling? Xx

VP91x · 10/05/2020 08:07

@2020wish yeah, both the temps have synced into my daily log because I have the Bluetooth thermometer so that's good. Will see what my temp is like tomorrow and next few days.

Ah, see!!😊😊 You will be noticing more changes that you might not have paid attention to before aswell! Xx

Mommybear05 · 10/05/2020 08:02

@Dipsy77 that’s good that you’re having such symptoms. My fingers are crossed for you! X

@2020wish not sure about the ovulation pains. I think I found a bit of a twinge this month but I hadn’t ovulated many times before the mc so can’t compare 🤷‍♀️ Could both sides be two eggs??? X

Girls af got me today 😭 So I’m out this month! This means I’ve just had a 26 day cycle. First one post mc was 31 days and now 26 days! I wish my body would settle down! 😣 xx

2020wish · 10/05/2020 07:54

@SmileyT @VP91x you are both right. Google is gone peak is still showing this morning on the cheapie strips even darker so all looks good

@SmileyT where u tracking HR on Fitbit? Fingers crossed it’s all good signs

@VP91x I still record as advised above and then look back on ur chart at end of month to see how you got on, as in Is three a clear trend or have the off time Temps affected the chart

A lot of ovulation pain happening today, pulls and twinges in both sides of pelvis, usually only feel it in one side each month. And left pain around kidney area. Tested my urine this morning for infection and all clear. Anyone else experience stronger ovulation pains after mc?

VP91x · 10/05/2020 07:41

@SmileyT thank you 😊 I am going to go with that, see how it falls into the rest of the measurements x

@2020wish ahh, no don't google that stuff. You have had your peak and I am sure everything is fine! There's no reason to think you didn't actually ovulate. Google is our worst enemy at times like these. Xx

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 07:36

@VP91x yeah I would note down what the temps were, maybe put in 36.2 or something into your graph and then you can always mark it as abnormal then in a few days see how it sits and unmark it if it's in line with what happens afterwards.

@2020wish in the words of Marie Kondo remove things from your life that do not spark joy. I think as with all things ttc if something adds more stress to your life than it adds positivity just get rid.

@Dipsy77 ahh that's a good sign that it's all the same symptoms 🤞 yeah my cycles are normally 28days so I'm predicting my period for 17th but first cycle post MC was longer which is sending my Ovia app to the 19th for my period. I can definitely feel some twinges on my right hand side this morning but no heart rate rise which was my biggest clue last time 🤷🏾‍♀️

Just google lol says even though you can get a peak in tests it doesn’t mean you have ovulated, that just indicates ur body has tried to ovulate lol but I know it’s all in my head and my charting hasn’t helped but again I know I haven’t charted well lol

VP91x · 10/05/2020 07:18

Ah @2020wish but you got your peak! Why would you think you aren't ovulating? Xx

2020wish · 10/05/2020 07:14

I think I need to throw bbt out the window. When my other half up at all different hours during the night for work and my body waking I’m temping at all different times trying to do it after a good stretch of sleep but it varies between 4am and 7am. And now I’m just worried I’m not ovulating even tho my LH surge is there. Think next month I’m gonna not temp

VP91x · 10/05/2020 07:06

@SmileyT yeah I normally temp between 05:00-05:30ish. Ah, so that would make it about 36.30 based on that wouldn't it? I will make a note of it and see what my temp is like tomorrow maybe?

It was still blank circle this morning 😩 I feel nauseous and crap this morning. Going to hold for a few hours and test again. I keep dehydrating myself 😂 xx

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 07:00

@VP91x Morning lovely.

Do you normally take your temp at about 5am? I read that if you temp early you should add 0.2c to your temp for every hr earlier you woke up or minus 0.2c for every hr late you work up but think I read that anything further than 2hrs our should be disregarded. What was your CB saying this morning?

OP posts:
Dipsy77 · 10/05/2020 06:58

@SmileyT I was on the pill so wasn't trying how ironic is that we went away for Christmas and when we got back I realised I hadn't taken my pill with me but thought well we only DTD once and that's all it took my main symptoms were tiredness and really nice nails, my pregnancy that resulted in the MMC I had the same symptoms and I've looked back on Ovia and I had increased appetite and cramps I've ordered some FRERs and they are coming today so I need to hide them away until Wednesday my app says AF is due the 16th although I have 27 day cycles so not sure how that works x

VP91x · 10/05/2020 06:45

Morning Ladies,

For those of you that track BBT I have a question -

My temps last two days have been:

  • 36.29c
  • 36.06c (so I thought maybe dipping pre ov)

Last night my daughter woke up at 3am so I took my temp straight away it was 35.90.

She didn't settle until 04:15ish and then back up at 06:15am I took my temp again and it was 36.34 so massive fluctuation. Should I discard both temps? Or take the 3am one even though it is hours before I would normally temp?

Xx

VP91x · 10/05/2020 06:40

Ahh @Dipsy77 when I have been pregnant those first few weeks I am always starving! I hope this is a good sign for you xx

SmileyT · 10/05/2020 06:10

@Dipsy77 did you get any early pg symptoms with your 7 month old that would be a massive flag for you? Ahh why is the second week of the TWW so much worse 😩
