TTC after miscarriage - May 2020

@Bellabubble Thanks. Yes it’s so hard isn’t it. It seems as soon as you are TTC everyone else seems to be pregnant. Yes, as the other ladies have said, I read the other day that you count cd1 from the day you get a full flow. X

@TerribleImagination haha imagine 😂 if you just started to glow or something. But, no we spend our time googling everything 😂 we really should get some sort of user manual for our cycles.

@Tink20058 welcome, so sorry that you suffered a loss so recently. How are you? Fingers crossed you have a lucky month to o!! Xx

@VP91x There really should be some sort of siren that goes off when you get pregnant 😂 Just so you know for sure! Wouldn’t that be nice 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Hi hope it’s ok to jump on this post with you all,I had a miscarriage on 6th April approx 6 - 7 weeks starting clear blue ovulation tests after bleeding stopped finally got my static face after 10 days of flashing face so now I’m 1 day post ovulation so fingers crossed will get positive in May xx

@Bellabubble I am avoiding social media and all that sort of stuff for now. Don’t want to see it I know it sounds harsh but I feel like I’m protecting myself in that way. Try not to look at it if it’s upsetting you.

I would count the full flow as cd1, not the spotting but I don’t know what others think, I’m not experienced with tracking cycles!

Thanks I hope it’s my month but if not that’s ok as well. I’m trying to relax about it at the moment :) xx

@Wishingfornumber2 aw sorry to hear at got you. Big hugs! I was the same with that prickly sensation last month. You can’t help but get excited can you? It’s horrible when you realise you are wrong and get bfn/ af. Sorry to hear it’s got you so down. Have a good cry let it all out and then do something nice for yourself and remember that this could be your month. Looks like we’re all in the same boat. I’m sure your ovulation time will come around before you know it and you can have another go. Take care xxxx

@Bellabubble I have always read to count from first day of proper flow. So yeah yesterday would be right for you!

@TerribleImagination ah we are decorating too! Keeps you busy doesn't it! I know what you mean about convincing yourself that you are pregnant. I wish the symptoms were completely polar opposite to Pre AF.

@Wishingfornumber2 sorry that you also got AF but you can start trying again soon. Sending you lots of luck xx

@wishingfornumber2 sorry AF got you :( I hooe this month is the month for us all!! I had a wobble this morn too - my friend who is 2 weeks ahead of where I should have been shared a bump pic on instagram this week, another friend announced she is 20weeks this week and AF got me - it was all a bit too much!!

@Mommybear05 amazing news about the bf - fingers crossed this is your month :)

Strange question, but before AF I was spotting for 4 days (I was soooo hoping it was IB!) bit now I don’t know whether the first day of spotting should be classed as AF, or yesterday when it came as the AF i know/expect from my body - I’m so confused! My temp dropped yesterday before AF came in her normal way which would make me think I’m right to assume yesterday was CD1 - but I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi, moving over from the April thread. AF arrived today . Was sort of getting my hopes up a little bit as you do as it’s arrived 1 day later than last month. I had some cramping a couple of days ago but was willing it to be from implantation. Also had a sharp prickly feeling a couple of times in TWW that I hadn’t had before so thought that might be a good sign. Had a little cry this morning but nothing I can do but to reset and start again in May.

Sorry to see some familiar names here. Big hugs to all and fingers crossed this is our month! X

@Jaylou7 so sorry for your losses. My mc was on my brothers birthday too. So sad 😞 you’re a little early to feel symptoms yet and every pg is different so I’ve got my fingers crossed for you xx

*busying myself even!

@SmileyT @VP91x AF is due 3rd May, so I’ll wait until at least that morning to test... She showed up a day early last month though 😐

I’m trying not to read into any potential symptoms to be honest... Last month I was convinced I was pregnant and then AF showed up early and I was just devastated. I’ve had those very mild cramps since about 4DPO, which I know is absolutely not possible as a symptom of pregnancy, but other than that nothing noticeable yet... I do get quite bad PMS symptoms most months, bloating, giant sore boobs, tired and sometimes nauseous too, so it makes the 2WW even worse wondering which it is 😂 The month I got pregnant I had the metallic / burnt taste in my mouth, my boobs felt so big - much more than usual, and I had very vivid dreams. One morning I even woke up and before I was properly awake put my hand over my stomach like an instinctive thing... very weird... I kinda knew that month but was in denial cos it was only our 2nd month trying! But I know symptoms can change for each pregnancy, so again I have no idea if I’ll ‘know’ again if or when it happens again! 🤷🏻‍♀️

How’s everyone else going? I’ve been busting myself today painting skirting boards. Super fun haha

@SmileyT oh fab! I am on day 7 of temping, glad I have remembered to do it straight away every morning. Always half asleep when I do it, haha. Feeling good! Still waiting for AF. CM had some red blood again this morning and I am on CD29 so I am taking it thst cycles are back longer again and AF is hopefully properly starting tomorrow or later today.

@Mommybear05 that is fantastic news that your little one is weaned! You must be so so pleased. I think that's a great way to try this month. Fingers crossed for you! X

@VP91x I’m good thanks 😊 cd 13 here. Lots of pre seed going on and his and hers fertility vitamins. And bd at least every other day. No opks or anything this time. Try for a month or so like this and just look at what my cycle lengths are. Then if I want to use opk I’ll go from there with cb digital I can tell which cd to test in. But now I don’t know my cycle length so just chilling.
Like @SmileyT said I think I want to enjoy the ttc process :) and the boy is completely weaned now so I got better chances of ovulating :)

How are you?? Xxxx

@TerribleImagination how are you feeling? Will. You be testing around AF due date?

@Jaylou7 gosh, four losses in a year. I am so sorry you have had to experience that. Really hoping that you get your BFP this month and sticks so you can have your rainbow xx

@SmileyT how is your temping going?? Enjoy starting out on SMEP!

@Hayleylou89 yeah I definitely think it is worth testing before hand! Don't want to miss that window, exciting!

@Mommybear05 how have you been getting on? X

@SmileyT yes I am 9/10. I guess I just feel not pregnant if that makes sense. I felt pregnant last month then when I felt normal again I lost the baby. I have became addicted to testing though and googling its stressing me out. I just read first response reviews and so many people saying that first response give fake positives. Think I need to just wait and see what happens xx

@Hayleylou89 bless you thank you. Xx

@Jaylou7 so sorry to see u here ur not out until AF arrives though, positive vibes to u!! xxx

Will start earlier than the app says though, as the month i ended up pregnant in sept I ended up ovulating around CD 18 😏 And happened to have a 32 day cycle the month before conceiving in Aug so dont know what that was all about as my cycles are 35 or 38 and the month before conceiving was my only 32 day cycles so best start testing a little earlier just incase x

Hi, I lost a baby this month on my sisters birthday 2nd April. We tried again straight away but only once on clear blue fertile day. Tested negative on clear blue and boots tests but got the faintest positive on f response. I am due Thursday but have no symptoms at all. Fully expecting af. I have lost FOUR babies in a year 😢. Desperately want my little 🌈 my clock is ticking at 40.

Hey @Donnat89 and everyone.

CD3 for me still got AF and a long way off until i start my OPKs, my app says to start from CD 18 🙄 But least i can get can get the house sorted before its time to start bd'ing as all the building work should be finished by next week hopefully 🙏

Hope ur all well? Xx
