TTC after MC - June 2020

@Renna my ovulation pains can feel like a stitch or a sharp shooting pain and they can either be very mild or extreme. I always notice it on my right side however this cycle its all on my left side which is really unusual for me. Xx

@chloedancer897 hi and welcome to the thread sorry you find yourself hear and about you loss. I know how it feels having a lengthy ttc journey I had been ttc #2 just over 2 years then I fell I was over the moon that sadly had a mmc at 10 weeks. Sending lots of baby dust your way that this is your month. Xx

@Bellabubble oh that's a shame about hubbies nosebleeds fingers crossed they stop soon. Xx

@Dipsy77 sorry it was a bfn this morning keeping my fingers crossed for you. Xx

@elliew818 ahh, then go with Tuesday for sure!! Sometimes weird things happen with CM but great that you've had your positive already xx

@Chickoletta omg I was going to say the same as @elliew818 said about your name 😂 that chicken makes me laugh so much.

@VP91x I just did an OPK and was totally negative so who knows what’s going on! Probably better this way because kind of had my hopes up for this month because we’d done everything right but this makes me think maybe my body isn’t back to normal still so won’t be as disappointed if/ when AF comes.
@Chickoletta can I assume you have a child that likes paw patrol?
@Renna had really bad ovulation pain this month - slightly period-like cramping but also felt like someone had repeatedly kicked me in the vagina, felt tender sitting on our wooden floors!

@Renna I got like a stitch pain on my lower right side like by my ovaries. It came and went throughout the day.

@peonyrose87 aw that sounds lovely!! Netflix and a morning in bed, dreamy. You deserve it. Xx

Ladies who get ovualtion pain... what does it feel like ? X x I got my peak yday and temps previously indicate I ovulate day after I get first peak reading and got some pains today but wondered what others experience these feel like ? Xx

@Hayleylou89 what days did you DTD last cycle around your ovualtion ? :)
I'm on CD15 today . So far weve DTD on CD8 CD10 CD12 and CD14. Plan on doing it again tonight and then not sure over the weekend to just see when it takes our fancy or go for it both days ... or at least deffo make sure we DTD tomorrow .. xx

@VP91x thank you! We got a nice take away last night and my partner told me to stay in bed this morning and watch Netflix, and brought me lots of food and snacks. It's been nice and just what I needed! 🤞🏻 starting today will be ok!

@peonyrose87 hey, sorry to hear you're having a down week. Completely normal considering, I hope you can treat yourself to something nice? Don't stress over the days. Northleigh you'd start on CD8 anyway and so it won't make too much difference! You've got this ❤️

@chloedancer897 that's so frustrating hopefully the reschedule you back in soon. But yay to static smiley. Enjoy DTD I really hope it's a lucky month x

@elliew818 have you tested today with an OPK again? What did it look like? I would have said Tuesday too but definitely dtd again to cover yourself.

@Chickoletta I like your thinking 😂

@elliew818 I don’t know much about the OPKs but I’d agree with @HopeForRainbowbaby. More DTD for luck can’t hurt though 😋

And thanks @HopeForRainbowbaby, that sounds good enough to me. I like the things that can be easily passed as normal day to day, instead of adding to my list of pills 🙊 xx

Does plum gin work too?!

@elliew818 Tuesday looks positive to me . I don't always get ECWM. In my opinion you are 2/3 dpo

@MichT4 plum and pomegranate juice contain Polyphenolic antioxidants, which fuel your fertility by protecting the cell membranes of sperm and eggs from oxidative stress as I find on internet;) and yes they are delicious hehe

Hi ladies I’m very confused and need some advice! So I did daily OPK from Sunday (left to right) and was sure I’d got my peak on Tuesday but tested daily since to be sure. Anyway...I usually get EWCM at ovulation time and have only ever used this as an indicator (first time with OPK) but didn’t get any this month at all until today! So now I’m very confused and wondering if anyone can offer some insight...DH will be pleased he’ll be getting some unexpected DTD tonight!

@Jazper I am totally with you. Last month I was adamant I’d wait and I didn’t even have any tests in. I did manage to wait until 1 day late (according to apps) and went out and bought a couple of packs, I was convinced it would be positive. And it wasn’t. I was gutted.
So now I have some in the house, which I might have to get OH to hide, and again start my mission to not test until it’s really late this time 🤞🏼 It is so hard though 💕

@peonyrose87 sorry you find yourself at a milestone. I don’t think skipping a session will make any difference, just pick up where you left off. Enjoy the next few days of lots of DTD xx

Thank you @VP91x I haven’t heard anything yet. I got the letter to confirm my treatment was going ahead in March then a letter 2 weeks later cancelling it. Never had issues conceiving with my other two, I’m just putting it down to age now (I’m 35 next week) We have both had all the tests and they can’t find a reason for the infertility.

Got my static smiley this morning so fingers crossed!

Thank you @MichT4, I felt the same about preferring af to show before I saw a negative test, but I just couldn't hold off any longer, the urge to test was all consuming.

@Dipsy77, I'm 12dpo today. I think? Well, 12 days passed positive OPK but in theory, I could only be 11 if I ov'd the following day. I don't temp as the sleeping pattern of my 4 year old is still quite irregular and she often comes in to our bed at various times in the night which wakes me up at odd times.
Thankfully, I don't have any more FRER's in the house now. I have ordered a pack of 4 from Amazon (on the recommendation of ladies in here, thank you all!) and they arrive next week so if af doesn't show by then I will test again.

Morning ladies, I've not checked in for a few days, hope you're all ok!

CD10 for me today, so time to start OPK! We were supposed to do SMEP again but DTD on CD6 and haven't since, so we'll go from today and hope for the best. Not really doing anything else apart from prenatal vitamins for me.

Saturday would have been the 30 week mark for my pregnancy so I've been a bit down this week which is kind of why we missed DTD on day 8. Oh well. Just got to keep going!

@HopeForRainbowbaby cheers to the grapefruit juice!
I saw you said about plum juice, then didn’t you say also pomegranate? I couldn’t find plum but got Pom and it’s really tasty. I don’t even know why I’m drinking it though 😂 what does it do? X

Hallo ladies, i am also drinking grapefruit juice now haha of course plum juice too 💪

@MichT4 imagine 💦💦😂

@VP91x Haha, your OH is going to have a confidence boost if you use both 😏 xx

@Jazper how many days dpo are you ?, I'm just going to avoid the other FRER I have at all costs x

@MichT4 this is going to be my new breakfast drink! So yummy.

Haha, OH will wonder what on earth has happened😂😂

Last month I never told him I was using the pre-seed as I didn't want to stress him out and he would comment on how 'ready' I was 👀 I just acted like I didn't know any different haha. Xx

@VP91x 😂😂 I’ve actually started to really enjoy it too!
You’ll have no need for preseed in a few days 😜 xxx

@MichT4 yeah that sounds like a good plan!

Omg, I'm just having it now and it's lovely!! 😍 I expected it to taste awful. Xx
