TTC after miscarriage - May 2020

@bellabubble great you are seeing evidence of a surge. I believe you ovulate after this. I really don’t know too much but for me this month my cm was like water and then one day it went sticky and I assumed that the signal ovulation had already happened. Maybe you could check over the next couple of days? If you dtd the early hours I’d say you’re covered for tonight and then maybe try again tomorrow? Xx

@2020wish I haven’t stopped drinking, but am not a big drinker anyways - I don’t like most alcoholic drinks (but give me cocktails and I’m away!!) and I’m way to lazy to make my own cocktails 😂 but my friend who is 2 weeks ahead of where I would have been, drank in her tww as she didn’t know she was pregnant, she only used a free app and had input her period wrong (they were looking to start a family soon but wanted to wait a few more months as they were living in a building site of a house due to extension work!). We all went out for cocktails and we had loads! I’d say do whatever stresses you out the least :)

Eeek - after a mc at end if Feb - I finnaly feel like my body is getting back to it’s rhythm!! I actually got an opk high!! This didn’t happen last month, the test line never got to the same colour or darker - it was a lighter to look at (but the darkest it had ever got) so I assumed that was my peak - and the next day it plummeted back down to super light again!

So we dtd early hours this morn (SO not glamourous but our dog needed an early hours eating grass session, then we were awake so decided to lol!) so with it being this dark - am I meant to do it this eve (or is today covered?) and tomo eve as well? I don’t want to give hubby performance issues - he knows I’m in the lh surge as bless him he has been taking an interest, but he’s also an overthinker - so the pressure of knowing this could be baby making sex could definitely hinder him a bit 😕

Also - am I right in thinking that once the LH surge goes down, ovulation has happened? I do bbt anyways so that will confirm, but it was so damn hot yesterday and I got a bit sun pink that I think I’m running hotter than norm anyways 😂

😂😂 @2020wish I don't disagree with you!!!

@VP91x I was never really good at checking cm and tmi but with DTD as much as we can how can I tell the difference 😂😂

@2020wish that is a good sign! I have been having EWCM and still having low on my digi too so don't feel too down. Have you checked your CM? X

@VP91x I’m hoping so. From yesterday and this morning I keep getting what I feel is ovulation pain. But when I’m testing getting low lh on digital tests and between low and ‘low medium’ level of cheapies. Hopefully will get my peak in next few days

@Ejb86 towards the end of last year my cycles were 38, 33, 38, 31. So with the 38 day cycles I would be thinking I was late but then get a bfn. But they have settled down now to be more regular so you will get there. Fingers crossed for you it’s soon as it will make it easier to track. X

Ah @2020wish don't feel deflated it would be perfectly normal for you to ovulate 'later' this month because you could be having a longer cycle or might be off a couple of days. Xx

Actually starting to feel like I’m never going to ovulate this month. I think it’s roughly cycle day 17 for me since my mc bleeding started. So over 2 weeks. And I usually ovulated on cycle day 13-16 prior to this on regular cycles. Feeling a bit deflated lol

@Rainbowhope11 that’s it it does help to have as much information as possible. When we’re back in work I’ll be tracking more because we won’t be able to do it as frequently. I’m hoping this month you either catch or see a regular cycle. Xxx

@Ejb86 I hope you get some good news soon. My fingers are crossed for you xx

@Renna yes I agree a bit of alcohol also helps with the deed 😂 have to live your life also whilst ttc. Whilst I don’t drink much anyway I’m also aware thar when I do get pg I’ll not be drinking and then I’ll breastfeed again if I can so will be off alcohol for a while! Got to have a little fun! X

@VP91x 🙈😂😂

@2020wish I’m not much of a drinker anyway- the occasional one glass of red wine with dinner if we’re having red meat, maybe I’ll join my hubby in a bud if we’re having nachos and binging on a series. I rarely have two drinks in a row anyway so I’m going to carry on as usual until I’m pregnant. With my son I went to drink red wine and it repulsed me and that’s how I suspected I was pregnant before I tested, so I know my body will let me know! X

@Mommybear05 yup hun, sometimes the tracking does get quite overwhelming! Im glad you are feeling good though😊

I'm trying to track as much as possible so that I can understand my cycles better. Prior to falling pregnant in January, I wasn't tracking bbt at all. I was just relying on my Ovia app and checking CM every now and then. I was dtd only when I started seeing flashing smileys on CB, so now looking back, I must have missed out on a good few opportunities. Just hoping for the best!

That's great that you and hubby have had plenty of opportunities to dtd this month! Yup, thankful that cycle has returned and happy to have another chance. Fingers crossed for you hun Xx

Yea being in isolation and not much else to do me and dh have been having a glass or two a night with dinner. Think I might reduce that once I’m in my tww and just drink at the weekend.

@Wishingfornumber2 I seem to be ovulating around cd20 too, but my last 3 cycles have been 27, 23 and 25 days! I'm now 7.5 months since my miscarriage and on my 6th cycle of TTC. Hoping my body sorts itself out and we get pregnant soon. X

@2020wish I have still been having a drink! Normally having a glass of wine with dinner each night or every other at the moment. I enjoy it and it relaxes me so leaving it in whilst I can!xx

@2020wish literally keep toying with this myself lol . I've reduced how much I drink but I'm still drinking . Mainly stick to the weekend . I've had a glass of prosecco and a glass of pink gin tonight.... which also resulted in some fun DTD for last day of fertile window so it Helped there too haha.. May have one or 2 more over the weekend . But some weekends I dont drink at all. DH and I enjoy a drink together sitting in the sun on the weekend, think I'd stress myself out trying to restrict myself. I've cut down caffeine too try just drink de caff. For me it's about moderation.. I think as long as I dont do anything excessive it cant harm TTC. Lots of people get pg without even knowing and they drink etc . But sometimes I'm like maybe I should cut it all out ... but hopefully soon enough I'll be cutting it all out for 9 months so wanna enjoy it in moderation before then! 😂 xxx

Anyone else staying away from alcohol while ttc or enjoying a drink until a BFP?

Haha @Mommybear05 'top me up!' going to have to say that to him when we are doing our 3 days on the trot 😂😂 xx

@busby85 on other threads I’ve read lots of stories where people are pg 4 weeks after mc. I really hope it’s a new pregnancy for you! X

@HE88 yes I’m hiring to test if I’m late too! Yes it’s strange how your cycle lengths can change. I’m good thanks, just twiddling my thumbs and waiting haha x

@SmileyT yes I really hope we can stick to it. I like the idea of a strong line. With my son I waited until I was a week late and it was such a strong line. I feel if I test early I probably wouldn’t be happy with whatever the outcome! And it’s so sad getting bfn! How are you feeling today? Any better? Xx
