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 💁🏾‍♀️

@HE88 how are you feeling today? This is only my first full cycle and actually noticed that I feel more energised around Ovulation but may just be because I know it's fertile week now so got excited. I'm guessing the hormones will affect everyone in slightly different ways though, I read a post from one lady saying she always feels emotional around O 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Jaylou7 hope everything progresses well with your pregnancy, I know it must be hard given your previous losses but try and stay positive.

@Hayleylou89 Thanks - definitely DTD with purpose at the moment, bit of preseed and laying still afterwards 😂 it'll be your turn on the CB soon and hoping it's only a few flashy smily faces for you this month xx

@Hayleylou89 really hoping she comes in the next couple of days. If not here by the middle of next week I'll call the doctors and see if I can have some bloods done. Still feeling and look bloated all day so hormones are definitely out of whack I think. Does iron levels affect things? I'm taking multi vits so hopefully getting all the right nutrients xx

Hayleylou89 · 01/05/2020 20:19

@francis05 i lost quite alot of blood and had retained placenta and had to have surgery after the birth so i just wanted to make sure my iron and everything was back to normal xx

Hayleylou89 · 01/05/2020 20:18

@francis05 It took me 6 weeks to get my first AF after my loss so try not to stress too much ... she could just be around the corner for u to start a fresh, have u had bloods done, i got bloods done just make sure everything was back to normal xx

Hayleylou89 · 01/05/2020 20:15

@renna sound like u had a awful time with ur mc, I know just need to tell myself it will be our turn again soon, I still cnt face social media cos there are just too many pregnant ppl around me at the min and the closer to my due date the worse im feeling but i need to think this month could be our month and its only 2 month ttc! ... no the ava hasnt arrived yet im gutted, royal mail are really delayed recently and thats where its coming from ... fingers crossed its here tomorrow, made up iv lost 4lb this week from being healthy and going on bike rides and stuff so thats def making me feel better and our loft conversion should def be done early next week 🙏 so a nice new bedroom ready for fertile week 💪 haha x

@JoandLily yeah id get some cheapies they are good to use alongside cb if the test line is as dark or darker than the control line ur at ur peak or heading towards it so it gives u a bit of a heads up xx

SmileyT · 01/05/2020 18:14

You’re welcome @SmileyT and woohoo to the peak!!

@JoandLily argh! Fingers crossed for that peak tomorrow! 🤞🏻

HE88 · 01/05/2020 17:57

Hi all how is everyone today?

Does anyone ever feel like they are coming down with a cold on the lead up to ovulation. Today I've had a sore throat, head and feel a bit crap. I remember feeling like this the cycle I fell pregnant around about ovulation time and I've experienced it a few other times as well. Is due to hormones anyone know? Xx

JoandLily · 01/05/2020 17:33

@SmileyT flashing smiley again, hoping tomorrow morning I get the static!

JoandLily · 01/05/2020 17:31

@Terribleimagination I got the flashing high fertility again...keeping my fingers crossed it's peak tomorrow morning 🤞

JoandLily · 01/05/2020 17:30

@Tink20058 thanks so much! Hoping I get the solid smiley over the weekend so I can get cracking 🤞

SmileyT · 01/05/2020 17:25

@TerribleImagination thanks for saying about testing in the afternoon with CB, I got home from work and did my normal cheap opk which was a clear peak and did my CB and it was static face after 5 mornings of blank circles - how did you get on in the afternoon @JoandLily ?

@Hayleylou89 no I haven't got any cheapies, never used them maybe I should get some. I always think they look complicated and hard to understand 🙈

Jaylou7 · 01/05/2020 16:51

I am now 4 + 2 but so anxious about another loss. Had two previous. I have zero symptoms

Jaylou7 · 01/05/2020 16:51

Hi, I had a mc April too and also used clear blue. Could not believe the first day I tested I got the non flashing face!

Tink20058 · 01/05/2020 16:39

@JoandLily hi 👋 I started the clear blue ovulation this month after miscarriage early April and had 9 flashey faces and finally got a solid on day 10 I did buy some cheaper tests to use in the afternoon too I was obsessed with it in the end hope you get your solid soon xx

Renna · 01/05/2020 15:12

@Hayleylou89 hi hun xx I've not let it get to me tbh, at the time I was like ugh wtf.. but was literally just that one bit ... tbh as I had ERPC surgery and I lost 600ml of blood when the usual is 50ml and I passed a lump of tissue last AF I think they may have like wounded me a bit on my uterus lining or something. Obvs not like fully perforated or anything as that would be a bad injury but maybe they like injured/cut me inside and why I lost so much blood in surgery and now when I have AF it's a bit odd and maybe like opening up old wounds kinda thing like any other cut you have on your body I guess.. what I'm telling myself any way! But yeah i guess it was within the time of like how long AF would normally last and the exercise/ DTD probably brought it on.
Sorry you're having a down day babe . It's so expected to be up and down . My god my mood this time last week was BAD I kept crying and felt so low. I've managed to pick myself up again this week and try focus on other things too as I was just going crazy. But also trying to tell myself its okay to have days where I'm down and let myself be upset rather than getting annoyed with myself. This will undoubtedly be a hard month for you no matter what . I just hope it goes quick for you and is a positive one xxxxx
Has your ava bracelet arrived ? If so how is it ? Xxx

Hayleylou89 · 01/05/2020 14:54

@Renna sorry to hear about ur random bleed tbh i had a 6 day period which was rather annoying kept stopping and starting too! Guess r bodies are trying to adjust back... im feeling a bit low today think because its a new month and i should have been having my baby in a few weeks...plus im still ages away from my fertile week 😞 x

Hayleylou89 · 01/05/2020 14:51

@JoandLily Hey lovely... i started using clearblue connected last month but started testong earlier than it said and had tones of flashing faces before the peak however if i had listened to the app id have only had about 7 flashing ones before my peak... are you using any cheapies to compare ? X

JoandLily · 01/05/2020 12:50

@TerribleImagination it's the worst isn't it! Trying to keep myself occupied so I don't have to think about it 😂 I'm desperate now...literally counting down the minutes!

TerribleImagination · 01/05/2020 12:41

@JoandLily That’s the WORST isn’t it!! Cos I had so many days of it this month, it was torture holding in a wee for 4 hours every day!

JoandLily · 01/05/2020 12:34

Many thanks for your replies, I'm just waiting now so I can test at 2pm, got to hold my wee in another 1.5 hours 😩

TerribleImagination · 01/05/2020 12:28

@JoandLily I’ve used the clear blue sticks for a while now and the number of days of flashing smilies varies month to month. The least I’ve had before a peak is 1 and the most was this month, which was 6 days!

Try not to worry about it, you’ll get your peak 🥰 Just remember to test again later in the day on your flashing smiley days, I’ve always picked up my peak that way. I’ve never had one with FMU.

SmileyT · 01/05/2020 12:08

Welcome @JoandLily sorry it's my first time using CB and still on blank circle but on the instructions it says like 66% have 4 or less flashing smily faces and another 25% have between 5 and 9 I think.

@francis05 that is so frustrating I would definitely call doctor or EPU and see what they say, my surgeon said to wait 6 weeks then contact them but mine was pretty regular before.

@Mommybear05 like you said about BF I know I'm doing everything I can so I guess we cant ask ourselves for more than that. I have just been to the toilet and found some EWCM and it had just been lotiony before so hopefully this is a good sign 🙌🏾. I keep whinging about me and DP having to work but it is helping avoid cabin fever during lockdown. Definitely get out today and get some fresh air, sure you'll feel better for it ❤️

Hi ladies can I join please! I had a MMC at the end of last year and have been TTC again since January...I've bought pre seed and clearblue connected as I'm desperate to conceive again asap. I've had flashing smiley faces on the clearblue for 3 days now, can I ask how many of these you had before getting your peak?
