AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

@Sunbird24 yeah unfortunately it can take a while for your cycles to come back after a MC. Do you have to keep doing tests until you find your peak?

Sunbird24 · 15/05/2021 20:49

Thank you @LS2020!
Sorry the fun month didn’t bring about a special surprise, but hopefully you enjoyed it anyway!
I’ve no idea what my body is doing, should be due to ovulate on Monday but my LH has dropped continuously from ‘high’ on CD6 to practically nothing now, so it’s clearly still all screwed up from the MC.

LS2020 · 15/05/2021 18:06

@mrswilso feel you there lovely! CD1 for me but we couldn’t try this month. It was nice to have the break and I’m back on for this month. I’ve got a spa weekend next weekend so hoping to go in nice and relaxed 🤞🏻 I think I’ll be in IVF for the end of the year so that’s giving me something to look forward to.

Weeeell the super relaxed month made no difference this time around 🤣
CD3...fuck this shit 😂 excuse the expletives
SOOOO OVER IT!

Sunbird24 · 08/05/2021 10:57

Sounds like a great month @mrswilso! Just what you and DH needed to reconnect and remind yourselves who you are as a couple, outside of prospective parents.

@LS2020 I’m not actually bleeding any more, just that sort of dark brown discharge you get at the end (or is that just me?) so it was really obvious on the tissue when I wiped 🤭

We need a new thread I think!

mrswilso · 08/05/2021 09:13

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been absent again this month but I've been doing really well at not TTC 🤣
So glad to hear all's going well for you @Ughmaybenot 😍😘
I had to check what CD I'm on 🤣 it's 24 today and I've paid absolutely no attention to ANYTHING this month. Hubby and I have just had a really nice month of talking, romance and DTD whenever we fancied - which incidentally has been more than ever before 🤭 we done it three times one day HA 🤣🤣🤣
Due on Thursday/Friday and for the first time since we started trying I'm genuinely relaxed about it. And I don't have a single test in the house - don't think I'll buy anymore until I miss a period. Who am I and what have I done with mrswilso!?

LS2020 · 08/05/2021 05:58

@Sunbird24 how bizarre! To notice that while you’re bleeding too has to be a fair amount. Hopefully your hormones settle soon!

Yeah they showed me that I had 11 follicles and the one that had burst and some like fluid which apparently starts once you ovulate? Apparently I have a tilted back uterus too but they said not something to worry on?!
The ovulation one shocked me though as it would have been day 16 of what I’m assuming is a 27 day cycle so a lot later than I was expecting, I’m normally day 13 for ovulation I thought…

Sunbird24 · 07/05/2021 22:13

AF hasn’t quite finished and I’ve already got serious EWCM! 🤯 This cycle is going to be an odd one I can tell.
Glad the hycosy went ok, fascinating what they could show you though! Hope the next 4 months are productive, would say it’s worth losing a bit of weight before ivf as between that and lockdown I’ve gained 9kg…

LS2020 · 06/05/2021 19:40

@Sunbird24 hope you’re resting up and having lots of wine! Have you made a decision on the genetic testing?
Honestly the RHR is rubbish unless you do fall PG but it’s good fun anyway!

@Ughmaybenot omg 13 weeks?! Have you had a scan yet? Pictures! So glad to hear the nauseas easing.

I had my Hycosy today and all was fine, nothing identified. Interesting I must have ovulated yesterday as they showed me where the follicular bursts to ovulate but probs too late to DTD/assume egg has been killed off in the test!
They’ve said I’m probably best going for IVF so I’ve asked for 4 months to keep trying and lose some weight before being referred on so watch this space!

Ughmaybenot · 03/05/2021 22:20

Hey @LS2020 I’m good thank you, vomiting finally starting to abate now! 13 weeks yesterday, all progressing as it should be as far as we know. Thanks for asking x

Sunbird24 · 03/05/2021 10:36

AF has started this morning @LS2020, Im planning to sit out this month and wait for the lab results from the last one before deciding what to do next.

Your RHR charts always fascinate me, but I have to admit to not having a clue what they mean!

LS2020 · 03/05/2021 09:42

@Sunbird24 how are you getting on? Have they checked all the HCG is gone?

@Ughmaybenot how are you doing lovely? How far along are you now?

@mrswilso look at my RHR now we’re not TTC! Shows how stressful I find the whole thing!

Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...
Ughmaybenot · 26/04/2021 19:16

Sorry this situation is still ongoing for you @Sunbird24 seems particularly cruel. Sending love Flowers

Sunbird24 · 26/04/2021 19:12

Turned out my LH surge wasn’t, it was still HCG. Over 3 weeks since the main part of the miscarriage and still not quite negative on the HPTs. I thought it was BFN 8 days ago but tested again on Friday to check and it wasn’t even a squinter. Why do our bodies play these tricks on us??
How’s everyone else doing?

Sunbird24 · 24/04/2021 17:08

Yes, if they say none of my embryos are chromosomally normal then that’s the end of the line for me. At 43 I don’t think they’d give me another go with my own eggs.

LS2020 · 24/04/2021 16:05

@Sunbird24 are you concerned about what the results will say? Might be worth the pain of going through this again through this again though?

Sunbird24 · 21/04/2021 20:34

The clinic are recommending genetic testing on my remaining frozen embryos, but I really don’t know if I want to do that.
Hope you enjoy a bit of a rest from it all @LS2020

LS2020 · 21/04/2021 20:31

@Sunbird24 hopefully a good sign that your ovulations bounced back so quickly and know that you tend to be more fertile after a loss so good luck ❤️

AF arrived for me yesterday so on to another cycle. I’ve got my HSG and not trying this month so may be a bit quieter, please add me to any new thread that gets set up though!

Sunbird24 · 21/04/2021 16:25

LH line is even stronger today - Femometer had yesterday’s as 119% and today’s as 200%!
Guess I’ll just have to wait and see when AF turns up...

mrswilso · 20/04/2021 12:15

@Sunbird24 shit sorry! I always forget that you're a boss ass bitch doing it for herself 🤩 bloody love that!

Sunbird24 · 20/04/2021 12:12

@mrswilso if I had a man I’d probably give it a try! 🤣

mrswilso · 20/04/2021 12:11

You never know @Sunbird24
If you were proper stark negative on a FRER I'd get on it. You might ovulate early this cycle. It's worth a shot!

Sunbird24 · 20/04/2021 10:10

I did an OPK this morning, and have got a really strong line - my HPT was only negative yesterday so I’m guessing this is not likely to be me ovulating but a false result from traces of HCG still left over?

LS2020 · 19/04/2021 10:08

@mrswilso I lied to you! A bad nights sleep can get you 3 point jump too 😂

Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...
LS2020 · 18/04/2021 20:58

Honestly I swear it does! My boobs are killing me today. They’re hard as rocks and so so painful to move even with a bra on. Still no spotting so doesn’t look like an early cycle yet.
Did you track O this cycle? Might just be a short missed cycle - unfortunately happens
