TTC after MC - June 2020

SmileyT · 21/05/2020 19:55

I'm 31 TTC #1 after a MC in March this year, AF has just finished and I'm on CD6 and all ready to go for my 2nd full cycle.

This month I will be tracking with opks, CB connected, BBT and following SMEP plan.

So sorry to hear that @2020wish xxx sending hugs xxx

VP91x · 25/05/2020 09:32

Just saying hey as a few of you are over here now 👋

Af due on Saturday, fingers crossed it doesn't show.

@2020wish @Wishingfornumber2 sorry that bleeding started today 😔😔 I really hope you are both OK.

2020wish · 25/05/2020 09:22

Hi everyone I’m joining! Hi to the girls front he may thread! I’m 31 ttc #2 from dec and unfortunately I’m going through my 3rd loss in a row :(

Wishingfornumber2 · 25/05/2020 09:16

Hi all, jumping over from the May and April thread although have been TTC for a while now since MC. AF arrived yesterday CD29 which was a couple of days earlier than my usual 31/32 days so was getting my hopes up that it was implantation bleeding. Oh well will dust myself off and start fresh for this new cycle. Fingers crossed for everyone on this thread 🤞x

Sounds like a great plan @elliew818 think I'm going to have a glass of wine I didn't have a drop of alcohol all last cycle thinking it would help but I've decided that I still need to live my life! Xx

@elliew818 this sounds like a good plan for tonight... I've also found meditation really helpful for staying positive throughout this journey, the ones I use on YouTube are less than 15minutes and have different ones for each week of cycle and just chill me out a bit (and I'm not a meditation kinda gal at all normally) x

Congratulations @sallyjo27. Nice to see a BFP!
Having a really weird day today as it’s last day of AF and the prospect of TTC is becoming real. Think I’ve been oddly settled in the knowledge I’m not pregnant because there’s no limbo...the TWW is going to be horrendous with the uncertainty and it’s making me anxious already. Think I’m going to do a face mask and have some chocolate to try and chill out about it all!

@Sallyjo27 you definitely jumped off the May bus too early. Congratulations 🥳 xx

@Renna yeah I always think it's good to have a nice full period and apparently short and sharp is the best as shows hormones are doing what they should. Yeah you're not far behind me and we are definitely doing everything we can, can't ask for more than that xx

Sallyjo27 · 24/05/2020 14:26

@SmileyT cup will arrive Tuesday:) my fertile period starts Thursday so if we DTD before will have a little practice:) sure you will start seeing your flashing /static soon xx you doing cheapies too ? Xx my AF was really heavy for like 2 days now pretty much stopped. I normally have pretty short periods tbf just hope the fact it was heavier was a good thing xx
@Sallyjo27 good luck with frer tomorrow xx
@Hayleylou89 yeahh got an ava :) who knows when itll arrive lol ! And yeah would be amazing if I dont end up using it too 🤞 have lovely time telling your mum your news on her bday xx

Honestly I'm not feeling lucky and still feeling deflated, I was optimistic and chilled last cycle..this time I just feel like am I going to waiting months and months 😓 but I am gonna try throw everything at it this month 🤞 xx

Sallyjo27 · 24/05/2020 11:17

@Hayleylou89 @SmileyT thank you for replying both x
I think I will test again tomorrow and if there is a line I will go and buy a FRER bloody tests 🙄😩 x

@Bellabubble I didn't make the cup work this first month tbh I couldn't get the L size to work without leaks (think it was too big) but by the time the s arrived my period was so light I couldn't tell if it would've leaked. Maybe I should look at period pants and I could double up 🤔 I think once you get the hang of it it'd be easy I just didn't get a chance to practice this time as small size arrived in the evening of day 3 so was pretty much done.

@Sallyjo27 yeah I definitely wouldn't trust the ic with all that dye have you got another test to try with fmu tomorrow? X

Hayleylou89 · 24/05/2020 11:07

@Sallyjo27 if u had an frer i think it would show on there if u IC is showing like that x

Hayleylou89 · 24/05/2020 11:06

Ahh @renna did u get an ava too!! :) good luck with it this cycle and hopefully u dnt even need it like me but it might bring u some luck just ordering it :) and making u feel like ur doing all u can and relax even more, even though i feel like ur quite relaxed anyway x x happy upcoming puppy week x

Hayleylou89 · 24/05/2020 11:03

@Sallyjo27 i can see a line on both tbh very faint on the first pic but i can see it x

Sallyjo27 · 24/05/2020 10:31

I’ve changed the contrast just to make it more clear, is it invalid because of the dye at the top?

Sallyjo27 · 24/05/2020 09:55

Hi ladies I’ve done another cheapie test today and can see a very very faint line, I’m 9/10 dpo, but the test does seem a bit off with the dye? I’ve done another one with a different urine sample and it’s a definite negative. What do you think?

@SmileyT a but off topic (well kinda not I suppose!) I swapped to period pants last year (love them), but wondered what a cup was like - I was considering using them both together. I haven’t had a heavy enough flow on a work day to need to change the pants yet at school - but if I did, it’s a bit of a faff and probably less discreet. Is it literally a case of take out and rinse?

@1990EM yes I agree just buying anything I think might help, doesn't help that if I mention anything in passing to DP he'll go straight online and buy it before I've even read into it properly 🤣 I've never carried a baby to term so it's definitely something I worry about but then I think to myself I have no evidence that this is true so try to shake my head out of it x

@Renna ooh that's exciting about the Ava, when will your cup arrive?... I used mine again yesterday and honestly it's a game changer there is just no mess and I love that. I really feel like this should be our month 🤞

CD9 for me - 1st CB test showed blank ⭕️ as expected but feeling positive.
How is everyone else doing?

@renna my oh is 30 - I’m 36 though - so figured I’d do most stuff for me first lol, as he is still feeling to young to thibk he needs anything (although he has offered to take the q10’s especially as it has a lot of other health benefits 😂) the silly thing is, I know I can conceive as it happened in Jan - it’s probably just my desperation to fall pg again that is causing stress or something (although I don’t feel stressed!) I’m the same though - anything to give my bost a boost has got to be good! xx
