Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 3

@SunnySideUp2020 it could still be implantation as it takes up to 48 hours after it to get a positive!! 🤞it's that!!

@scrumdiddly123 hopefully it's def ovulation!! Good sign with the pains, I always get ov pains. Never knew what it was until TTC though!

Had a bit of a wobble myself today. DH told me his brother and wife are expecting their second baby. She's 7 weeks so would have been the same if I hadn't had a CP. I'm really happy for them as I know they've been trying since we announced our first pregnancy in December but I'm also really sad as it compounds our losses. DH thought I was being negative and was giving out to me for not being happy for them and I just broke down..I'm not a crier so I think he realised then I was actually truly just upset about our losses rather than just being petty. Don't know why he couldn't have understood that to start tho! Anyways rant over😄

How's everyone else doing?

Ladies i am freaking out a bit.

We just dtd and i had a lot of pink blood mixed with the stuff (sorry for tmi).
I am 11 dpo and never ever had spotting before period.
And my LP is bang on 15 days.

I am worried it has shortened suddenly... but ofc made me think of implantation. But i know it's very unlikely as i had a negative yesterday...

No symptoms at all.

Ovulation pain probably was when releasing the egg

I find mine starts after i get positive opk too.

Fingers crossed for this month someone gets a bfp 🙏

Forgot to add!

Morning lovelies, hope everyone is well!
@SunnySideUp2020 do you have any symptoms? Hope everything goes well with your procedure. I had a hysteroscopy a few years ago and it was fine.
My opks have started to get lighter now so I’m hoping I’ve ovulated. I had lots of OV pain yesterday evening so think it was then though the apps are saying today! My temp had increased the last couple of days but still lowish so hoping to see a big jump up tomorrow!
Great news that AF has stayed away @Ejb86! Hope it does for a while longer x

Actually procedure is on cd 8 not 10 so maybe we have a chance since i ovulate cd 16 earliest!
We will see..

How is everyone?

@ejb that's definitely a positive!

@scrumdiddly123 peak of three days is quite long. Hopefully it's a good sign...

AF due Wednesday for me and currently 11dpo.
Haven't retested as we are just waiting for AF to arrive so we can move onto cycle 6.

That being said with the procedure on CD10 i might not be able to take advantage of cycle 6 as i had read we shouldn't have sex for a week after hysteroscopy.

It will probably be a forced break!

I made it through cd26 with no AF! If I'm not pregnant at least my cycles are getting longer, which is a massive positive.

So today is cd27, 3dpo. Hoping that she stays away.

@Fizzl yeah it’s real strange for me, will usually have one day of peak and then ov! My line has been super dark today and had loads of ovulation pain this evening so I feel like today’s been the day and hopefully my temp will go up tomorrow! 🤞🏻
How frustrating for you, hopefully something changes soon. Either you ov or AF comes so you can crack on with the next cycle!

@scrumdiddly123 how strange you've had peak readings for 3 days! Keep an eye on your temps - hopefully today is the day for you! CD29 for me and still nothing - no ovulation or AF 🤷🏼‍♀️. Hopefully your luteal phase won't change, I'd guess if you ovulate late you'll just have a longer cycle but I don't know for sure.

@Leok83 im pleased your gp took your seriously and has referred you! It's interesting that she thinks you need medication and hasn't just dismissed it. I plan to mention it to my gp at some point as I do have some symptoms of an under active thyroid I've just never thought much of it before (I'm always cold, tired short luteal phase etc). I darent go back to them yet as they've clearly told me to give it 6 months and I think I'll probably just annoy them if I keep going back and they'll think I'm just finding symptoms which fit 🙄.

Hope everyone else is doing ok 💐

@leok83 I am 2dpo on cd26. At the start of what I hope is a long lp, or at least one that's longer than 5 days! We dtd every other day in fertile window, so I'm hopeful we have a good chance. We would have done more but hubby can't finish if we do more than that.

@scrumdiddly123 that’s so frustrating. It’s like your body is trying to do something but the egg won’t release. Don’t lose hope yet though at least your LH is trying and it might drop soon!

@Ejb86 how many DPO are you now?

@Annny27 let’s hope these are normal cycles for us both and end in a BFP!

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry it’s a BFN..you are not out yet but I definitely think it’s easier to gear up for AF after it.

@Fizzl I rang the GP today and I’m going in for bloods Monday and she’s referring me to gynae now to start and if gynae think there’s a need they’ll refer me to fertility. I asked her about TSH and she said it’s likely I’ll need to go on medication for it but they need to check thyroid antibodies first. I had the last bloods done in July last year before officially TTC so it prob didn’t flag up as important then for that reason. Thank you for highlighting this for me!

Morning all!
Sorry it was negative @SunnySideUp2020, when would you be expecting AF?
@Ejb86 hope AF stays away a while yet, can’t believe how strange this month has been for a lot of us!
How are you @Fizzl? Any sign of anything happening for you?
I’ve had another peak opk this morning, so 3 days in a row now! CD27 today and going by this and my temps I still haven’t ovulated so worried about how late it is and whether I’ll have a normal LP! There’s nothing easy about this TTC lark 😒

@Leok83 I'm not sure why either. I think because doctors don't particularly specialise in fertility they just go with the 'normal' limits.

@Annny27 that's a fair point! I must admit I did obsessively google about mine and planted another worry seed in my mind.

@SunnySideUp2020 ah sorry it was a bfn. I think this month seems to be a dud for a lot us sadly 😒.

My opk's have reached the dizzy heights of 0.31 today! So it's gradually creeping up... but still nowhere near being positive 🙄

@ELM7 Im so glad it's bank holiday weekend. I'm going to finish work early today and just chill. Hoping the sun comes back out. Planning to treat myself to a few glasses of wine and maybe even a gin too. I'm kind of in the 'sod it' mindset now!

@Leok83 doing ok thank you. Ovulation due in the next couple of days and OPKs are getting darker so that’s good.

@Annny27 - no I haven’t had any tests yet. Should contact Drs really but also know the first thing they will say is I need to loose weight which I’m trying to do although hasn’t been going so well since lockdown. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Took eight months from coming off the pill to conceiving last time and so kinda giving myself similar timescales.

Hope everyone is doing ok. We’ve made it through another week and I’m very glad that it’s a bank holiday weekend.

@Annny27 so far so good! Hopefully she will stay away for a while yet.

@Annny27 bfn this morning 10 dpo

Did the @fizzl logic so now we wait for AF.

Tbh i know am not pregnant 🙄

@Fizzl ya I’ve looked it up and looks like I should def be looking into this more. Thanks for the head up! Don’t know why they don’t just treat at 2.5 in women TTC!!

@Leok83 I'd definitely check it out with the gp. They will probably dismiss it because it is within 'normal' limits but have a quick search on google and you should see what I mean. I can picture the biggest eye roll you will get from the doctor as soon as you mention google or mumsnet so maybe try and dodge that and just say you've done some research 😂

@scrumdiddly123 I’d definitely take this mornings one as your peak so that would be tomorrow as 1DPO. Persistence has definitely paid off..and I know how you feel about DTD, anytime my ov is delayed we are both out of steam by the time it actually comes around😄

@Annny27 that’s great about fertility clinic. 2 years was just ridiculous. And also great your thyroid is normal!

@Fizzl I’ve had my thyroid checked and if TSH is 3.15, the reference range on mine says 0.27-4.2 but if you are right I could need medication. Going to call the GP tomorrow to follow up on referring me for definite now..was sitting on fence a bit until I saw that!

@ELM7 thank you. How are you doing? Any sign of ovulation for you yet?

@Annny27 that's great news! Sometimes it pays to be persistent with them and sometimes it does take a different gp to have a different perspective and to see things differently! Out of interest do you know what your thyroid levels were? Mine were 2.5 which the gp said is right in the middle of 'normal' but when I've looked into this fertility clinics like to see it no higher than 2.5 when ttc and in some countries 2.5 is the cut off for medication! Over here I think it's around 5 before they usually medicate.

Hopefully you feel better by being proactive and getting the ball rolling with things! Like others have said hopefully it won't come to it but at least things are progressing for you now.

@scrumdiddly123 that's definitely positive! It's a sorry state of affairs when ttc becomes a chore isn't it 😂

@Annny27 that’s great news that they’ll get the ball rolling with the fertility clinic! Fingers crossed you won’t need it but it’s reassuring to know you have that in the pipeline.

Well after so long of having negative opks They’re now blazing! So not sure whether to class today as OV day or tomorrow?
Such a relief to finally see a positive although not sure I can face DTD any more 🤣 DH has had enough too! We did last night and might persuade him to tonight as well and that’ll be it!
