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 💁🏾‍♀️

Morning Ladies

CD10 now - so it is SMEP day 😂
Yesterday afternoon had a little more EWCM and this morning definitely very 'wet' (sorry) watery, and some EWCM too. Done my CB Advanced but still on blank circle, but I must be heading into fertile window according to my CM, right?

My BBT temp chart is creeping up so hoping this weekend I start getting flashing smilies.

@Dipsy77 glad you are feeling good in your TWW! Are you thinking of testing before AF due?

@Sallyjo27 that is a good response from them. Hopefully, your cycle will be fine this month and you get your BFP! Xx

Dipsy77 · 08/05/2020 06:43

6dpo for me and I'm surprisingly calm, normally I'm googling every symptom trying to convince myself something is happening but so far so good Smile

SmileyT · 08/05/2020 06:38

@Mommybear05 I was wondering how you were getting on, good that you were busy during the TWW and without tracking so much hopefully it was a bit calmer. I'm still tootling along 5 days behind you, so cd20 - 6dpo. Really hoping the spotting is a good sign, will you test or just see if AF arrives after 31 days?

@Sallyjo27 I think that is really sensible advice we can't expect our bodies to just jump back and hormones are affected by our stress and sleep so post MC in lockdown is probably not helping them regulate. We all just need to be patient and it will happen. Really hoping this a lucky month for you, fertile window is just around the corner x

Hi @Mommybear05 😊 was wondering where you were! Hope work is going okay for you.

I finally got my period post mc! And my HCg levels last week were at 10. Going to do another blood test next Friday to confirm that they have dropped to zero. I think it will be a fast drop to 0 now that I've started my period. Well, I'm hoping haha! I'm getting excited for my first fertile period post MC, I feel ready for a fresh start. Told DH to get some energy drinks, because I'm planning on dtd non stop 😂😂🤣

How many dpo are you now? Hope you're well hun xx

Renna · 08/05/2020 00:38

@Hayleylou89 yeah I did cheapies too then when I saw the darker line in the afternoon I did the CB later that night xx
Yeah I've looked into the calc fluor so think I'll start taking it from Saturday . I saw a post on mumsnet from a lady asking about it jan this year but no one replied I asked her if she used it and how she got on. She said it worked and shes now 9 weeks pg. Who knows if it's that that helped but worth a try. Xx I've never really thought to look on you tube . Her videos seem really helpful and she seems professional xx attached pic of my cheapies xx
Hope you're okay xxxxxx

Glad u got ur peak already did u do cheapies along side ? What did they look like x x

Sallyjo27 · 07/05/2020 21:45

Hi again ladies, I’ve caught up on the thread. I’m on cd10 but don’t usually ovulate until day 18 so got a bit of a wait ahead. I’ve emailed Tommy’s midwives as I’ve been worried about my cycle. I found they’re reply so helpful so I’ve attached it for you all. Hopefully it will be a comfort to those a of you struggling with cycles being a bit off after MC as mine has been. (I’ve had spotting in between periods, breast really sore at random times etc). I’m hoping my body will do what it needs to do to get ready for a BFP soon x

Hey @Mommybear05 I thought of you today I was going to tag you and see how you were.

What was the spotting like? Xx

HE88 · 07/05/2020 21:01

Hey @Mommybear05 all good here in my tww trying not to think about it too much and remain positive.

Oh fingers crossed the spotting doesn't come to anything. What are your normal cycle lengths? Xx

Mommybear05 · 07/05/2020 20:27

Hi girls just catching up I’ve been away for a few days as I’ve been in work and very busy! Also, I think I’ve stopped getting the email updates when someone posts/ tags me for some reason??? I know a few of you are coming up to your fertile time now. Exciting! How are you all feeling today?

Cd24 here. I had some spotting today. Last cycle (first post mc) was 31 days so this would be an early af! But remember that spotting I had last month before af? When I checked my app that was on cd 25 and 28 too so it looks like it could be following the same pattern? Who knows! I’m still so all over the place post mc and post breastfeeding so honestly anything could be happening! Xx

Niisa · 07/05/2020 19:11

@Rainbowhope11 & @SmileyT y’all giving me hope! Will Deffo keep testing! Ramadan has been okay - a lot easier to fast at home doing nothing than it has been every other year teaching & talking non-stop haha

VP91x · 07/05/2020 19:04

@Rainbowhope11 I know less is definitely more when it comes to that pre seed. Even a quarter of a syringe is alot 😂😂.

If it makes him feel like I'm even more up for it then my job is done haha xx

Rainbowhope11 · 07/05/2020 19:02

@VP91x I was using about the same amount as you are using. But the one time, I thought I'd use over half the syringe...and let's just say, the more the better definitely doesn't apply to this 😂😂🤣

VP91x · 07/05/2020 18:29

@SmileyT I will have a little read for sure xx

SmileyT · 07/05/2020 18:27

@Renna Inge fleur my favourite 😂

@VP91x the stuff I read said that people use it for head colds and stuff aswell and there are no side affects, I think because they aren't hormonal they shouldn't affect it. But I'm by no means a doctor and this is just from googling a few things x

OP posts:
VP91x · 07/05/2020 18:18

@Rainbowhope11 I don't think so!? He hasn't mentioned it. I remember the first night I used he said "oh, you seem keen" 😂😂 Maybe I should ask? I have used just over a quarter of the syringe each time xx

VP91x · 07/05/2020 18:15

@SmileyT @2020wish yeah I have a monthly subscription with them at the moment so maybe that is why I get extra info. I never tried the free version so not too sure on the differences.

@SmileyT @Renna does the Calc Flour not affect cycle at all other than helping at implantation?

@SmileyT I definitely also get obsessed with my CM 😂😂 Ive had bit more EWCM but was still blank on CB digital. App says sunday for ovulation so hoping it is roughly correct. Tomorrow will be Cd10 so 2nd day of SMEP.

SmileyT · 07/05/2020 16:46

Ooh lots to catch up with on my walk home from work 🙌🏾

@Rainbowhope11 im trying to make the next two weeks a lot more romantic so it doesn't feel like we have sex on demand for a week and then go our separate ways. My OH is exactly the same he would be telling me to shove it in as soon as we finished 😂 I wasn't ttc before mc so can honestly say I've never felt up there randomly for the consistency of my juices, now I'm obsessed 🙈

@Renna im going to give that meditation a go at the weekend thanks 🙏 also it was me that mentioned calc flour was going to order it next month, haven't done that much research but from what i read it doesn't affect cycle length and just helps with implantation. P.S if I say I'm
calm enough times it actually makes me feel calmer, positive affirmations 😇

@2020wish sorry you are feeling low it's totally normal to have ups and downs. I was only signed off for a week and actually found the overwhelming sadness kinda passed a bit when I got back into a routine but everyone will deal with things differently so just take your time. My first month temping was a hot mess but I started 2weeks after mc so guessing that impacted it. Femometer will analyse your bbt and confirm ovulation aswell. I've attached this months chart for you to see, the cover line appeared 3 days after ovulation and it confirmed when it thought it was 🙌🏾

@VP91x do you pay for femometer I'm thinking of upgrading to get more analysis.

@Niisa I have 28 day cycles and had blank ⭕️ for 4 days then I tried that night and it was static smiley so don't give up 😊

I have been quiet on here this month - been busy at work but that hasn’t been a bad thing!! Am currently on CD13 - only using cheapy opks (I literally think I have the smallest LH peak time ever as I constantly get low, low, low, low - the first peak I ever got was last cycle!!) and I track my BBT - been trying to do SMEP but we still live at my parents whilst we sort our house - so we have to wait until everyone is in bed (and hopefully asleep lol!) I swear it has mucked up my BBT tracking lol - as we end up falling asleep later than normal so I sleep less/or wake up later than normal 🙄

So lleased for the BFP we have on here - and I have my fingers crossed for more to come!! I’m on my second cycle post MC, but mc was at the end of Feb - so it feels like I have been unsuccessful a lot..trying not to stress though!

Rainbowhope11 · 07/05/2020 16:29

@Niisa I've had cycles in the past where I jumped straight from the ⭕️ to the static smiley, so I would just carry on testing 😊 Hope the fasting is going well hun!

Renna · 07/05/2020 16:19

@2020wish I found them on Holland and barrett , so thought at least I can trust that they're reputable too . But can take a while to deliver I think as looks like may be coming via royal mail so I found the exact same type on amazon and I have prime so coming Saturday xx it's called this : Schuessler Calc Fluor Tablets - Pack of 125

Fertility homeopath talks about it on this video

Xx

@Niisa fingers crossed xxxx

Rainbowhope11 · 07/05/2020 16:12

@VP91x that's so funny that you didn't tell him 😂 he hasn't noticed anything different with the preseed? My DH actually bought the preseed for us, I never heard of it prior to that. Once I used too much, and he kept slipping out 😂 he was so not impressed😂🤣

Rainbowhope11 · 07/05/2020 16:08

Haha I know exactly what you're talking about @SmileyT it's totally unromantic 🙈 we were doing the same! Ended up dtd every day during my fertile period at 1am when we got into bed! Sometimes I'd say, can we just make this 10 mins, I'm so tired😂

Is that in general you don't notice a lot of cm, or is that something that changed after the mc?

When I had the Mc, I was reading up all these articles that said that couples who try sooner after the Mc are more likely to conceive within 3 months, I was obsessing over that. But now I've lost 2 months waiting for AF and Hcg to drop, so I think I'm also happy if I conceive within 6 months!

We can do this @SmileyT 😊 fingers, toes, everything crossed for you hun Xx

Niisa · 07/05/2020 16:03

@Renna thanks hun I will.. I’m gonna test again in an hour just to see. TMI but I feel like I had EWCM this morning so fx! Xx
