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 💁🏾‍♀️

@mommybear05 I'm using OPKs and just tracking like that, trying not to get bogged down by it all!

So day 39 today and still no sign of af 😣 will be 6 weeks since mmc on Tuesday. Does anyone have an experience or advice on when I should see a doctor? If I call next week will they just say give it a few more weeks? Tests are negative so I know nothing going on there... At my wits end!!

@Mommybear05 thanks for your kind words sending baby dust to you for this month too xx

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 08:49

@Dipsy77 aw sending big hugs for your meltdown!! ❤️❤️ We’ve all been there it can be so soul destroying at times all this ttc business. This time will pass and I’m sure one day you will look back and say ‘remember that time I got so upset? Remember how much I wanted it?’ And you will have a baby. You will get through this. I’m sure you have swimmers in there already too. You shouldn’t feel bad about getting upset it’s an emotional time and with everything else going on in the world it’s natural to feel stressed and disheartened. There will be light at the end of the tunnel for you I’m sure. Xxx

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 08:45

@SmileyT aw keep testing I’m sure you will see some movement soon. With a 31 day cycle last time it may be a little early. Cd 18 today. I did have a cheeky check of cm yesterday and today and it’s gone sticky so I’m assuming I’m now in the luteal phase. Over the last two days hubby and I haven’t dtd. I think we’re getting cabin fever with this lockdown business and with the rain we haven’t been for our walk. I’ll go out today even if it’s raining I think. But apart from the last two days we dtd a lot so I’m hoping we got it covered.
I’m feeling positive since stopping bf. Before I knew I could give myself a better chance but now I’m doing what I can so I’m truly at peace if af comes this month. I know it sounds strange but I had my heart set on a 2020 baby for some reason (don’t know why!) and now that’s passed I feel a little more relaxed.
Try to keep calm and positive I’ve got good feelings for you. I’m sure u will be seeing that change soon. Do you have any other observations in your body that ovulation could be coming? Xx

Dipsy77 · 01/05/2020 08:22

@Mommybear05 no he's worse today than yesterday I feel guilty as I just had a major meltdown in front of him just hoping he is better tomorrow I've given him a hot water bottle, heat pad and painkillers so fingers crossed xx

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 08:14

@Dipsy77 I understand your frustration. What terrible timing! But you bd recently so I’d say you’re covered. Is he feeling any
Better today? Xx

SmileyT · 01/05/2020 08:12

@Mommybear05 CD13 and another blank circle on CB this morning, I'm driving myself a bit mad with it now, trying to stay super positive but it is definitely taking a lot of effort. I know you aren't tracking everything but you must be in your TWW now? Have you found this cycle much less stressful? xx

@Dipsy77 ahh I feel for you, it's so frustrating when things don't line up isn't it. Just try and remember it only takes one so you are definitely not out for the month. I can definitely understand how men can feel under pressure sometimes x

@Mommybear05 yesterday morning but knowing my luck there won't be I'm so disappointed I'll just have to look to next month DP doesn't understand why I'm so upset about it he thinks I'm taking it out on him I've said I'm not but he doesn't understand how I'm feeling even though I've told him xx

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:50

@SmileyT ooh cd 13 today for you. What are your cb smileys doing? X

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:49

@Dipsy77 aw that’s a shame! Have you done it recently? There may still be some swimmers in there x

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:48

@Renna sounds like left over af but if you had a short light period more af could maybe signal a thicker lining and better for implantation?? So maybe it’s a good sign although I know it’s unusual to start and stop and it doesn’t take a while for hormones to settle. Hope you are feeling better now x

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:46

@33Carr hi same here cycle 2 after MMC in March. Sorry for your loss and good luck. Are you doing anything to keep track of things??

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:45

@chanceofarainbow hello and welcome to the thread. Sorry for your loss. I also mc at nine weeks and measured 5 weeks. It’s tough! Good news about your second line! My fingers are crossed for you and I hope it’s a bfp sticky bean. Let us know how you get on xxx

Mommybear05 · 01/05/2020 07:41

@VP91x aw what a lovely rainbow! Thank you for sharing xxx

Dipsy77 · 01/05/2020 07:20

Feeling really crappy today first time since MMC that I have got a really strong peak result and my DP is laid up in bed with a bad back in agony and can't move there is no chance of anything happening I'm so disappointed xx

JMC04 · 30/04/2020 22:47

@chanceofarainbow fingers crossed for you

SmileyT · 30/04/2020 22:05

@Renna yeah give it a few days and I'm sure it'll all be cleared up and you'll be rearing to go on both fronts getting ready for your fertile week 😘😘

@chanceofarainbow sorry for your loss and if you saw a line I'm sure it'll be even stronger on Saturday, I think evap lines tend to be clear indentation so if it had any colour it's good news 🤞

@33Carr sorry you find yourself here, there are a few of us that experienced our MCs in March so we all appreciate how you must be feeling. Hoping it's a lucky month for loads of us to get out rainbows x

@chanceofarainbow everything crossed for you too!!! Xx

chanceofarainbow · 30/04/2020 21:43

@VP91x

I’m hoping to test again Saturday but really I should be patient until AF is due which is Thursday. It could be evaporations lines but I’m crossing everything 🤞🌈

VP91x · 30/04/2020 21:39

@Renna yeah have been feeling okay today! My AF has been lighter than normal too, must be something in the water haha.

Looking forward to it being over so can start DTD and trying again tbh! Xx

Renna · 30/04/2020 21:31

@Vp91x thanks babe xx it looks like its stopped so wasnt much just strange 🙄🤷‍♀️ hope you're okay xx

VP91x · 30/04/2020 21:29

Welcome @chanceofarainbow and @33Carr sorry that you both find yourselves here and have suffered a loss.

@chanceofarainbow that is great news that there was a faint line, when are you planning to test again?

@33Carr are you tracking at all?

@Renna definitely probably some leftover AF don't get too down about it! Xx

Renna · 30/04/2020 20:14

Thanks hun @SmileyT trying not to think about it too much , just some leftover AF .. guess 2 /3 days of very light AF wasnt finished.. x

33Carr · 30/04/2020 20:04
