TTC after MC - June 2020

@Ejb86 I'm so sorry. Sending big hugs xx

@Jazper thanks. I only watched the video. Couldn't bring myself to be there.

@2020wish I'm angry that I've not been able to hug her for 12 weeks, my son has stayed away if he's seen her, but those dickheads she hugs. The same dickheads who sent their 3year old to her grandma's during lockdown, only for grandma to then test positive for coronavirus.

Oh @Ejb86, I'm so sorry. I feel so much sympathy for you as I completely understand the jealously you feel. It's not the same, I know, but I handled my negative pregnancy test yesterday really really badly and I too, couldn't stop the tears. All day long they flowed on and off. From about 9am, until I went to bed.
This ttc, more so post mc, is all consuming. And I can understand how you must feel having to have joined in the gender reveal celebrations.
Well done for gritting your teeth and doing so. It must have been so hard for you xx

@Ejb88 oh no :( I’m so sorry. I know how you feel with feeling so jealous and annoyed. Hugs to you. Be kind to yourself, the way you are feeling is completely normal.

Sorry if I missed something from the chat but is there another reason you are angry at ur mum or is it just the hurt at what you have been through x

@Ejb86 I’m so sorry. I haven’t got any words of wisdom as I was exactly the same after my sister told me she was pregnant last week. I couldn’t stop it and I was a wreck.

I will say that I cried it out, a lot, and it came and went for a few days, and I think I’ve come out of it feeling more positive. Think it was extended grieving maybe. It’ll probably come back too, but I just think you need to keep as positive as you can, your time will come and when it does it’ll be perfect.
Allow yourself to cry though, as much as you need xxx

@NightDreaming sounds like a lovely Friday night.
I’m just wondering the same what to do to take my mind off it. I’m feeling ok, but doesn’t stop me thinking about it all the time 🙄. Going to do some training and walks, not sure what else.
Any inspo? Xx

@Ejb86 I’m so sorry. Sending you the biggest hug xx

Hello All

It’s Friday 🎉 Thank goodness. Going to order a Chinese and do bugger all but eat all evening. I’d bloody love a glass of wine or 6 but at the beginning of the TWW. Will have to crack open a bottle of fizzy water instead.

Anyone got any nice weekend plans to distract them from the constant thought of cycles, ovulation, symptoms and pissing on sticks?!

Hey everyone. Sorry I've been gone all week. Dealing with back to work and AF and just needed to stop checking MN every 2 mins. I'll read back through when I get a min.

You ladies will understand this. Tonight was my brother's gender reveal. I'm having a nephew and couldn't be more jealous of them.

Then I see the end of the video and see my mum hug my brother. And I'm so angry. So bloody angry.

And I'm in a heap with tears streaming down my face. I just can't stop them.

@Chickoletta surely the plum gin does the same job? 🤪😂

@Bellabubble it's crazy how it leaps isn't it!? Yay for your peak though!! Enjoy all the DTD 💦😅

@2020wish meant to increase CM too apparently. You stop taking it once you ovulate but not sure if I am too late in cycle to give it a go going to google a bit more xx

@VP91x remember when I said mine shoots up super quick and goes back just as quick - here is todays cheapy opk - literally from as low as it was yesterday to this one today!!

@VP91x what does the EPO do?

@2020wish ah that's really good! You'll do it again. I guess you could still incorporate it in as a breakfast shake or lunch shake if you got your BfP.

I'm just over 5ft,definitely need to shift this weight too.

Might give the EPO ago too. I have the GF juice now. Its so yum. Xx

If anyone is thinking of buying a new Ava and not one froM eBay I can send you a code for £20 off if it helps 🙂

@VP91x it’s actually not
To hard just boring and it’s more will power trying not to reach for the bad food. The shakes fill you up. I’m 13stone (well in the 12s now ) and I’m only 5.2ft so I need to be around 9.7st which is what I was. Once I became a nurse and them
Lockdown my diet and exercise completely went out the window so thought I’d do this to give myself a kick start. I remember last time it altered my taste buds and meant be hate the taste of salt and fat in bad foods and I’m trying to get to that point again haha

Haven’t tried the evening primrose oil myself just doing the grapefruit juice

Have any of you ladies tried Evening Primrose Oil tablets for CM also? Xx

@2020wish it sounded like it! I done it before for 2 months and then went completely off the bandwagon. 7 stone on it, wow!! It is hard to stay on plan with it. I still have a box of the shakes actually xx

@VP91x yes exante lol how did u know. I don’t it before after I had my daughter and lost 7 stone but sadly I’ve put 4 stone back on in last three years so trying to get that off and lock down isn’t helping

Sorry @Bellabubble that message was meant to be for you where I tagged Ellie above! X

@Chickoletta I love that you're named after the chicken. Goodway is a funny character too. My little girl is OBSESSED. Eek, yay that you got your peak and now in TWW. Fingers crossed for you. How have you been feeling?

@elliew818 yeah, waiting for ovulation is such a snoozefest, but at least you're right you can't symptom spot. Ooh, I never knew that's how long it takes an egg to mature. So interesting. I'm sure as long as you still get a rise post Ov it should be OK!

I've ordered Calc too to take for the TWW.

@2020wish are you doing Exante by any chance? Xx

@Renna I often get ovulation pain - more stab like, although it can at times make me catch my breath a bit!

@VP91x ahh no, fingers crossed for a shorter cycle!! Waiting for ovulation is almost as frustrating as the tww after I find! The saving grace with ovulation is that any symptoms you get can’t be confused with AF at least!! I’m currently taking coQ10 now to help with egg quality (apparently it takes 90days for an egg to mature, so I think my last 3 eggs would have been ones that were forming whilst I was pg/mc so I wonder if that has maybe stopped me falling pg on my last few cycles, as well as being 36) and I have calc fluor to help me out this tww too!! My bbt is higher than normal at the mo though as the new house is like a sauna!! It gets sooooo hot - my parents house was like a fridge, now I wake up baking lol! I said to oh that it’s a sign I’m going ttc crazy as I thought, I hooe this doesn’t mess up my bbt app 😂

@MichT4 thank you - it’s so nice to have our own space now, having been at my parents for so long! Dtd is going to be so mich more relaxed now!!

@he88 thank you! He usually has a bad stint May-June time then it seems to disappear, so hopefully it will go soon bless him!

Hi,
Yes, I am very much named after the hilarious Paw Patrol chicken. She makes that show bearable for me! My kids’ headmistress is also a dead ringer for Mayor Goodway so that always makes me laugh too.

I have just joined from the May group and caught up on the news here. I had a MMC of twins at 11 weeks in April and this is our first cycle of TTC since. I am now in the TWW - CD15. Had a positive OPK test on Tuesday. Looking forward to us all sharing good news soon, fingers crossed.

We have used Preseed this time for the first time. Not keen on it - I think it has a strange smell, but worth a try.

Probably a bit late to start on the plum/pomegranate juice for me this month but I’ve got a bottle of plum gin on the shelf...!

Thanks ladies today is ovualtion day for me and I've had left sided lower abdo pain I wouldnt say it was sharp was more like dull achey crampy stabby kinda feeling so dunno if it is ocualjon pain or not it's kinda of subsiding now lasted a few hours like intensely. Xx

@Renna I usually get stitch type pain on what I side I’m ovulating from that month

Started dieting this week ladies. Figured it might help while ttc. Taking 3 meal replacements a day plus a low carb meal and about 2-3 litres of water a day. Lost 4lb in two days lol of course I will stop if I get a BFP and just eat healthy. Anyone else trying to shift the weight to aid ttc?

Also is anyone going to try aspirin this month? I’m going to start taking it after I ovulate and see if it makes a difference
