TTC after miscarriage - May 2020

Hi ladies I hope you are all well. I've got a question about Uti's I've suffered from these in the past and always get abdo and back pain as well as sore when peeing and needing to pee more. Over the last couple of days when going to pee it's been quite sore and I just feel really irritated I'm not sure if it is a uti or not any advice? Xx

@Niisa sorry that meant to say

hey, those circles are annoying , how many have u taken so far i had tones of flashing last month and my static did come in the end. This month i started with cheapies later on rather than use cb ones early and i had 4 circles then It went straight to peak so this can happen its happened to a Few of us x

*this cycle

Hey ladies! Just caught up with all your messages. Still no smiley face - flashy or static - and it’s bloody CD18! I usually have a 28/29 day cycle so have nooooo idea wth is going on! So thinking I’m out this month. Probably best as the only time we can DTD is at night since we’re fasting all day - and I’m in a food coma once we’ve ate for the rest of the night haha.

I think I’m gonna not use OPKs next month as I’m finding them hard & expensive - I’m on the 2nd pack of CB digi & advanced this and all I’ve had are ⭕️ rolls eyes. I’m gonna just DTD like crazy around my predicted ovulating week.

Looking forward to seeing more BFPs here xx

@Hayleylou89 no not yet! I think my OPKs are getting a little stronger though xx

@2020wish yeah i will dtd anyway ... I feel crampy today so I'm guessing thats whats happening hopefully will catch the bugger one way or another 🙈 x

@VP91 it could be! Have u got ur peak yet, iv never had ov bleed but iv heard about it xx

Ah ladies I have a question, just gone toilet and when I wiped I had quite a bit of EWCM and some of it had a slight streak of blood. It was literally a tiny bit. Do you think this could be OV bleed!? I have been crampy today. Xx

I would just DTD to cover yourself. I think once the lines fade again that means ovulation has happened but the egg does survive for 24 hours so you still can have a chance I think. I’m going to do the deed again and just completely cover myself lol

@Renna Yeah i know u will be worried but ur chances if it happening a second time are alot slimmer and hopefully ull get monitored more early on 🙏

@Sallyjo27 oh this is genuinely the post delayed and she has contact me about it, she said theres about 2 week backlog so ill Probably get it in a few weeks ready for next cycle if im not lucky enough for it this cycle.

@2020wish Im in the exact same boat as u, i feel 😒... i dtd last night and i wanted to dtd this morning aswell as my opks got really strong last night and now this afternoon they have faded and i knew they would fade so does that mean ovulation probably already happened I know we can still dtd tonight but i always think its better to have the sperm waiting for the egg and thought if we dtd this morning and i ovulated today id have a better chance to catch it rather than tonight or am i being thick? 🙈 x x

@mumoftwobeauts this will be cycle #2 but first time doing that plan xx

@2020wish ahhh I'm definitely going to look into it and get some thank you xxx

@VP91x yes with higher bmi it is now advised to be on higher dose of folic acid. Tbh I only knew being a nurse had to ring my gp myself and make her aware of it and she queried with the pharmacist and pharmacist agreed with me and so I was prescribed it. Maybe ring up and get prescribed it. Early pregnancy unit also advised me on the higher dose and to keep taking it while trying after I had the MC.

@mumoftwobeauts welcome :) smep plan is the sperm meets egg plan. It’s a plan to ensure u have given yourself highest chance of sperm meeting egg. You DTD every other day until you get ur peak ovulation, then you DTD that day and the next two days In a row, take a break for a day and then DTD again on the next day. Loads on google about it x

@VP91x which cycle is it for you?

@VP91x perfect thankyou!

@mumoftwobeauts SMEP is Sperm meets egg plan. So you are meant to DTD every other day from CD8 and then once you get a positive OPK you DTD 3 days in a row, have a day off then DTD again once more xx

@mumoftwobeauts definitely not! I think once you get a positive they say you will ovulate between 12-36hrs after which is where the whole 3 day in a row thing comes into play. X

@VP91x what's the smep plan? X

@VP91x Thankyou. I wasn't too late if I had the positive test at 2pm and dtd at about 8pm? Lol

@mumoftwobeauts sorry that was meant to say from when I get a positive test xx

Hey @mumoftwobeauts welcome 👋

So I'm planning to do 3 days in a row taking a break for a day then once more for luck as I am following the SMEP plan xx

Sorry that was rude wasn't it! Just jumped right in!! Xx

Hey can I join? Cycle 1 for me.

If my strongest ov test was yesterday and we dtd lastnight and this morning is that enough? 🤷‍♀️

@Sallyjo27 oh I literally have never heard of that. Even when I was PG with my daughter they just said about the normal dose. How interesting. Will have a read! Xx

@vp91x it might be worth you giving your gp a call? I rang them after my MMC and they prescribed me another 3 months worth. According to the Tommy’s website “ Some people may need to take a bigger dose of folic acid. This can be prescribed by GPs if you are planning a pregnancy or are in the early stages of pregnancy and if you:
(or the baby’s father) have had spina bifida
have had a previous baby with spina bifida
(or the baby’s father) have a family history of neural tube defects
have diabetes
have a high Body Mass Index (over 30)
are taking medication for epilepsy.”
