Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 3

@scrumdiddly123 hopefully that spotting was implantation!🤞

@ELM7 hopefully AF doesn’t show , how many DPO are you now?

@Fizzl any sign of anything yet? Do you think maybe the spotting was a really light AF because you didn’t ovulate?

@Ejb86 so sorry AF arrived, 9days is much better tho so hopefully next cycle will be good.

@Annny27 how are you feeling today lovely? Thinking of you this week, I know it must be so tough, I’m really dreading the week of my due date if I’m not pregnant by then. Any signs of Ov yet?

@SunnySideUp2020 sounds like thorough testing, definitely good to be proactive. Hoping I’ll get the same check over soon. Do they have any idea why vit D and white blood cells low?

I’m CD 13 and it looks like my opk is starting to darken so hoping for another early ov this month. Had planned to stay away from alcohol for the whole cycle but the weekend has been so fab we had a few cocktails and Proseccos yesterday and it was just lovely not to think about TTC for a day!

@scrumdiddly123 yep still just waiting. I've continued to have really small amounts of brown (sorry tmi) stringy spotting. It's really strange and I have no idea what's going on. I feel like AF could start but nothing so far. My opk was also the highest it's been today - not peak but a reading of 0.43 when my others have previously not gone about 0.21! 🤷🏼‍♀️

The on and off bleeding for you might be a positive sign maybe. Fingers crossed it is anyway. If not, our bodies are just playing cruel tricks.

@scrumdiddly123 yep I’m still in the TWW with you AF due Sat. Woke up this morning with lower back pain and feeling emotional so sure AF will be showing up at some point this week.

Really hope the spotting is implantation and that AF stays away. I had zero symptoms with my last pregnancy until a week or so after my BFP so no symptoms could be a good thing.
Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks @Fizzl, I went on to have some bleeding yesterday morning so was gutted but it stopped as soon as it had started and then just had a tiny bit of brown cm. So who knows what’s going on! Temp is still high and AF due on Thursday! I don’t have any symptoms really so don’t think I am. How are you? Still waiting for something to happen?
@SunnySideUp it sounds like they’re being very thorough with you which is great!
How are you @Annny27 are you getting close to ov yet?
Are you still in the 2WW with me @ELM7?
Hope everyone is ok and making the most of these last couple of days of sun!

Sorry @scrumdiddly123 cross posted with you there! Sorry it's a bfn this morning but like you've said it's still early so there's hope.

@scrumdiddly123 hopefully the spotting is a good sign for you! Do you normally get that?

@Annny27 that sounds a lovely idea. I'm keen to maybe do a little something whereas I think my husband would rather just forget and focus on moving forward. He worries that I just upset myself and tries to always be positive. I'll have to broach that conversation with him and I can always mark the occasion in my own little way.

@SunnySideUp2020 it really sounds like they are checking everything out! Do you feel more reassured now they are doing all these tests? My inner control freak would love it as it feels like you're being really proactive and if there are any issues identified you can get them sorted. Good luck with your procedure next week! Will you be having GA?

No real updates here. I had the tiniest bit of really light brown spotting yesterday and some cramps so I got all excited and thought hallelujah it's starting and then.... nothing 🙄

I had the most vivid dream that I tested and got a blazing positive, so of course I tested this morning and it was bfn! 😂 I know it’s crazy early though so it’s fine, I still have hope! 🤞🏻

so i typed an entire post an pressed "back" by accident 😒

Soooo

Hello ladies
Been away since Friday so not been checking mumsnet as much!
Lovely weather here as well in the Baltics!

@scrumdiddly123 promising symptoms!!!! When will you test??

@ELM7 fingers crossed for you too lovely

@Ejb86 sorry AF arrived but definitely a good thing to have a 9 days LP!

@Annny27 your friend is gold! Such a nice gesture to send you a card.
Dont know yet if we are supposed to be tryi f this month but my procedure is Wednesday so will ask the doc then!

@Fizzl hope you are ok x

Went to have my bloods done on friday. She drained all my blood i think!! There were millions of tests and bottles. But they came back and hormone wise everything looks really good. But vitamin D is deficient despite me taking two types of supplements everyday.
And i have neutropenia... my immune system looks crap and all the diff tests shows low stuff leukocytes related.
Obviously didnt have the doctor interpretation yet but i hope it will just be because of the antibiotics treatment.
All the infection tests were negative including lupus etc so dont see why i would have an issue there...
So waiting for my doc to review and come back to me :)

Def enjoying this weather and love a good bbq.

7dpo and no real symptoms here and desperately trying not to symptom spot hoping on staying strong and not testing until next Sat but I hate week 2 of TWW it always drag so much.

@scrumdiddly123 really hope the spotting was implantation. 🤞🏻

Morning @Annny27, we’re so lucky with this weather! I’m painting our pergola today and got a hello fresh box for dinner- would love a bbq though!
7-9dpo today and feel fine, had a little bit of brown spotting yesterday morning which has stopped now and have felt really tired the last two afternoons/evenings! Going to try and hold off testing until Monday at least!
How about you @ELM7 any symptoms?

Ah sorry @Ejb86 💐 have a proper self-care Saturday. All the chocolate, crappy TV and time in the sun!

Have a lovely day everyone 🏝

sorry @Ejb86 😟 good that your LP has lengthened though! Hope you’re ok xx

Oh no I’m sorry @Ejb86 that AF is here. Enjoy the chocolate and anything else that you want. It’s guilt free when it’s AF related. xx

AF arrived. Feel like eating my body weight in chocolate and hiding from the world. It is good that I had a 9 day lp though, that is much better than 5 day LP.

@Annny27 that's really thoughtful of your friend! I'm not sure I've ever really told anyone when our exact due date was but people know it was June. Muddling through the day is all we can do I think. It's funny how significant the date seems. I keep trying to remind myself that it's really unlikely the baby would have arrived on their due date so I should try and not get too caught up about it all but it's hard. Will you do anything special on the day?

I think my GP will be quite dismissive too and just put it down to me not ovulating this month 🙄 I'm trying all the old wives tales now to bring on AF!

Good luck to everyone else who's going to be testing soon. There's not many of us left now so I'm sure it will be someone's turn for a BFP soon 💐

Not sure when I’ll test @Annny27, depends if I get any pregnancy symptoms over the next few days. Usually by 9dpo I’ll have noticeable symptoms so may test from 11dpo if that’s the case! 🤞🏻I’ve woken with dark brown spotting this morning though so not feeling hopeful!

@Fizzl my heart goes out to you, it’s reallly tough not knowing what’s going on. I’d definitely be going back to the GP next week especially as you’ve never had irregular periods before.
@Ejb86 wow 8DPO already! So good that your cycle has lengthened so hopefully there’s a reason for that ☺️

@Annny27 I’ll prob start opk this weekend. Only creamy CM yet but I know last cycle I didn’t get much CM at all until day before ovulation. Apparently it’s just another thing that dries up as you get older😏

Ah thanks both 🤗

I think I will ask my GP to do some bloods. I'm sure they'll want to bang their heads and scream at me that they've already told me to wait 6 months but how was I to know my period would mysteriously disappear last time I rang them?!

Also, we technically started ttc last jan. First few months our timing was a little off as I didn't realise then that I ovulate slightly later. Then we took a break for 4 months before we then conceived on our first proper attempt. But if I gloss over the minute details I have now been ttc for 18months with one miscarriage behind me so hopefully they will sympathise 🙄

@Annny27 yes joining you in cycle 6...
I also had it after my MC since i had an infection and PID. But i guess because DP wasnt treated we reinfected each other !

How are you feeling about this cycle?

@Fizzl Really sorry this is happening to you if it's any consolation i would also be ranting if i were you. It doesnt help but you need to let the frustration out. And your poor husband probably can't understand it as men dont get that our system is a bit more complicated and demanding and therefore stressful for us to be working well in this department.
Whenever my ovulation is three days late i go nuts. I feel like i cant trust my body, that i am too old, that nothing is working etc...
Eventually everything fixes itself (most times) and things get back tp normal which i am sure will be your case when AF arrives.
But yeah... i feel you. So sending hugs basically 🤗

Could you ask the GP to do some blood test for hormone levels maybe?

And yes i should be done with antibiotics just for fertile week so that's good.

@scrumdiddly123
Sorry i know nothing about temps and charts! I never wanted to do it as i think it would be another thing to obsess over!!

Completely understand @Fizzl, must be so frustrating for you. Similar to me when I was waiting for the hcg to leave my system, just wanted to ttc but I couldn’t and had no idea when things would go back to normal! I would definitely go back to the gp soon if still no change and see what they suggest. I really hope it’s a short lived thing and your next cycle will be back to normal.
Thanks for looking at my chart and @Annny27 too! I’ve had some brown creamy cm last night and the same but more pinky this morning. So goodness knows what that is, I wouldn’t be surprised if AF arrived early as I think my hormones are still all over the place!

Hi all 😁

@Annny27 I'm doing ok thanks. CD35 and no AF or ovulation so starting to feel a bit frustrated. It's so annoying to know if AF had arrived when she should, I would be heading into FW again instead I'm here with no clue when anything's going to happen now. I had a bit of a rant yesterday to my husband because I just feel like my body is letting me down. It's never happened before and if it had happened in the 3months straight after when we were taking a break I'd be more accepting but why it's happening now when we've started ttc again is just super annoying. I feel like June is going to be a write off too and I really wanted to be pregnant again by June 😞 so just feeling a little sorry for myself about everything and I don't want to pester the GP again yet but how long without a period do I leave it?! I'm thinking 40 days as that's almost 2 weeks late... 🤷🏼‍♀️ I've never skipped a period before even when my stress levels were through the roof a few years ago (and I may have been drinking a lot more wine than I probably should have) I was still fairly regular.

I'm probably being a little bit of a drama llama as it's might just be one of them things and my period might appear and ovulation might resume as normal from next month but I just feel like somethings not working properly and this is the start of a tricky journey now 😒

Anyway, hope everyone else is ok

@scrumdiddly123 I'd agree with you based on your chart - I don't think you ovulated when ff is saying

@SunnySideUp2020 that's good news that they've identified the infection! It's scary that we can have these things and not know. It's good timing too as your antibiotics should just be finishing in time for you to try again this month?
