TTC after MC - May 2020 Part 2

@VP91x are you cd16 today? How long are your cycles on average? xx

@VP91x haha - am alarm bell would definitely be very useful!! My cycles are either 27 or 29days (except for the cycle after mc which was 31days - do they call that a cycle though if it starts with a mc?) so I am due AF next thurs-sat. Last time I waited until I was a week late, but I am pretty regular so I was expecting a bfp in all honesty! I think I’ll probably wait until the bank hol monday before testing (if AF hasn’t got me first!!) my last 2 cycles post mc have started woth a few days of spotting before af though, which is soooo frustrating as that mever happened before and both times I thought it could be ib (i got that the first time!) so I got my hopes up and was super sad when it turned to AF!!

@Hayleylou89 I done a test yesterday and had very very faint line not sure if it is evaporation line tho as I done the test then had to sort out my 3 yr old out completely forgot about it n then went back to check it! I lost twins last year n really would really love a bfp! I guess I will just have to wait it out the next few days to see if period comes!! 🤞🏼 It doesn’t lol x

@Rainbow001 Hard to say if its ib or not but if ur af is only due tomorrow cnt u test with an frer now and itll tell you? X

@renna yeah I read the packet but also that lady on the you tube vid says they are for teeth and bones so maybe that also why u chew them? But urgh its vile! Just had one with lunch now xx

Hey @Hayleylou89 I'm feeling bit better actually xx omg no hahah I didnt even see the bit it said about chewing . Omg so stoopid. Blonde moment haha I've been swallowing them .... I wonder why it says you have to chew them ??? Maybe that's why I've felt ill lol maybe chewing them makes it less harsh on your belly when it reaches there haha . doh. Guess I better start chewing them ... I cant imagine that's nice at all though... how are you ?
So the ferti lily is a thumbs up ? If I'm not lucky may try next cycle.. although I think DH thinks id be weird doing it ... 🙄😂🤔 xxx

Hi lady’s! Very confused!! had my period 15th April then done the deed on 26/27th so cycle day 12/13 then woke up on 1st of May to brown discharge followed by very light bleeding lasted 2 days then nothing!! 12th may had pale pink when I wiped but nothing since then! Due period tomorrow! Still no sign!! Are these signs of pregnancy?? Or because I had slight bleed mid way thru cycle will period still come when due? Also my cervix is still high and soft and virgina feels puffy

@Rainbowhope11 thats exciting u had poss ib .. how many dpo are you? X

@renna how r u today, have u been chewing ur calc fluor tabs... they say to chew them but its not nice at all chewing a tablet 🙈 x

@VP91x my boobs are so sore even doing normal things like walking and coming down the stairs. They’re hurting so much, no other symptoms though other than the pink when I wipe going to test this weekend as I’ve read to leave it 3-5 days after the suspected IB xx

@vp91x yeh I was tryinng to moderate loo trips and balance drinking enough water to stay hydrated but not too much to dilute the test 😂 I did 3 a day on cycle day13/14/15 - as on cd13 I finally started to see a pale pink line I didn’t have to squint at - I think Inwas so busy trying to remember to drink..but not too much..pee..but at the right time 😂 it made the days go fairly quick though to be fair! I’m doing ok though, 4dpo now - and have told myself I am not going to symptom spot this ttw as last time I was noticing every little twinge/ache/ etc - then read that it’s the same hormone you get just before AF that’s rising which is why the 2 symptoms are so similar, don’t know how lucky I feel about this month though 😕 There’s a surprising amount of waiting to do when ttc isn’t there!! xx

So I think I’ve experienced implantation bleeding as I have pink on the toilet paper after I wipe, this was yesterday and this morning. There’s been nothing in my underwear but just when I wipe so here’s to hoping! We have been TTC since we had a MMC in March this year at 9 weeks x

@Isittimeforbubblesyet thanks for the tip I’ll be trying some grapefruit juice this month x

@SmileyT oh why so sure though? You won’t know until you take your test! I have everything crossed for you! Remember you had no symptoms last time xx

@Mommybear05 my DP is trying to distract me by sending me bathroom designs and think I'll treat myself to some new garden furniture when AF arrives at the weekend, we need to take the consolation prizes 😂. I've actually decided to test on Friday then crack open a bottle of wine. My DP said 'there is no way you're pregnant' this morning and I know he is right 🤷🏾‍♀️ Suprisingly still feeling positive in general about TTC it's just not my month 😊

@VP91x some people can het a dip in their temp before ovulation too, so it could be a sign of something to come!! I went from low lh CD14 (evening) to a peak at midday CD15, then it was already dropping by eve of CD15, and then by CD 16 morn you could barely see a text line on the ic. Sometimes it sorr of all happens within 24hrs, I have my 🤞🏻 for you!

Thanks for starting the new thread!

@VP91x try not to worry too much. Your chart looks a bit similar to mine. Everything seems to be around 3 days behind for me this month (although I did have have severe food poisoning at the beginning of my cycle!). For the past few months, I have been ovulating around CD14 but this month it looks like it is CD17. I had low opks until 3 days of flashing smileys but didnt actually get my peak until 11pm on CD15. We were trying to do SMEP but DH was asleep so didnt DTD that day but have done it the following 3 days. Probably wont work but makes me feel better

For what it is worth, I highly recommend the grapefruit juice. I have been having a glass everyday and didnt think it was working but then noticed I had loads of ewcm at the weekend! Not the nicest juice but you get used to the taste!

Hope everyone else is well and hope for some BFP's soon

@ejb86 I wondered how you were getting on as I am just 1 day ahead of you in my cycle. Sorry to hear you have been ill. Hope you start to feel better really soon. Big hugs to you. X

@Hayleylou89 @SmileyT I'm cd18 today so hoping for a peak in next couple of days. Tried to start temping but my 2yo likes to get in bed with us so theres not much point and my wake up times are so irregular! I'm doing OPKs. Taking solace in the fact the my girls were conceived with just dtd once on cd19.

Also battling tonsillitis for the second time in 3 weeks. Fed up of being ill!

@Ejb86 did i see u in the other thread, i thought i did...so sorry for ur losses how awful is that, beautiful twins 💖💖!
I Can sympathise being so far along too, I was 1 day shy of 23 weeks when We lost our baby girl in Feb still not had all the post mortem results due to covid but iv had a briefing with a consultant who said he cant really say anything in particular caused my waters to break so early and i also had an infection in my blood that could have caused it but they cant say for certain, the baby was fine when i went into hosp being a bit concerned over what i thought might have been a uti to be told My waters had gone i was gob smacked...we lost her a few days later and i had to give birth then the placenta got stuck so i had to have an op to remove that ...all a bit of an horrendous nightmare...Ill be high risk and monitored very closely next time for any cervical issues basically 🙏

Iv been quite lucky that my cycles seems to have returned to normal but still on the long side of normal - 38 days usually but can be 32/35 and think this cycle might be a shorter one.

Have u been tracking anything bbt or opks? Iv literally stocked up on anything and everything available.. Im 2 dpo today and praying for our rainbow this cycle, we have done all we can so i feel ok about the tww this month x

Im using
Seven seas pregnancy tabs with folic acid
Omega 3
Ferti lily cup
I ordered an ava but its not arrived
Cb connected
Cheapy opks
And now im on calc fluor in the tww
Also been drinking grapefruit juice to help
With CM
And using preseed now and then (dh isnt fussed)

Not sure what more i can do other than dtd obviously and iv done it 4 times in my fertile window this cycle 🙏🌈

Where are u upto at the mo with tracking? Xx

Hey @Ejb86 glad you've joined us on the new thread. Where are you in your cycle at the moment? X

@VP91x well they say that oestrogen makes your temp drop (it's what causes an implantation dip when you get the second surge in LP) so it makes sense that people that have a quick oestrogen surge in Follicular Phase just before ovulation will be like me going straight from blank ⭕️ to peak on CB and just have a one day dip in temp but if you have a longer oestrogen surge before lh is released then the dip can last more than one day. I dunno I could be completely wrong but kinda makes sense to me 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Hayleylou89 how you feeling? how many dpo are you now? When will you test?
