@MichT4 how long are your cycles? Sorry I've had a complete mind blank 😩

I'm CD15 now xx

MichT4 · 14/06/2020 13:58

@VP91x I’m CD22 today so I think I must have 🤞🏼

What day are you?

VP91x · 14/06/2020 13:56

@MichT4 what cycle day are you now? I really do think you have ovulated. Should be okay xx

Yeah still being flashed at 🤔 last cycle I got my peak OPK at CD19 and then ovulated CD21 according to temps so it'll happen at some point this week 😒 xx

Congratulations @1990EM and all of the other BFPs so far!!

MichT4 · 14/06/2020 13:39

@VP91x well I assume so. But I’m just so unsure this cycle. I expected a bigger temp rise, and the peak last night isn’t higher than the last 6 days so I’m hoping it goes up again over the next day or two.
I hope I am though, as that would match the app and my previous cycles. Really hoping the good luck in this thread rubs off!

How are you today? Been flashed or stared at this morning?

@elliew818 I know the feeling of relief when AF shows. It’s strange after wanting it not to, but it means a new month started again. Fingers crossed for you. Plus, breadsticks and Nutella sound great.

@1990EM can you add any words of wisdom to the other BFPs this month?

HE88 · 14/06/2020 13:36

@elliew818 sorry af got you but at least you can start a fresh this cycle. Xx

VP91x · 14/06/2020 13:36

@SmileyT 😂 made me giggle at the menstrual cup struggle. Annoying that it is leaking though. Hopefully you get the hang of it soon, I bet you'll master it and then not need it soon 🤞 xx

Congratulations @1990EM that's wonderful news!! The odds are in your favour for it being a healthy, happy pregnancy so try not to worry too much, although I know it is easier said than done. Sending you lots of love xx

@MichT4 woo so you'll be in TWW! Good that you've had your temp rise.

@Ejb86 how are you getting on? Xx

@elliew818 its the worst being in limbo isnt it? So although it wasn't a positive result this month for you, glad that you have a fresh start and cycle to look forward too xxxx

elliew818 · 14/06/2020 13:29

Congratulations @1990EM!
So AF arrived in full flow today - after days of limbo it was actually a bit of a relief. So CD1 now and ready for next month...for now I've got breadsticks and Nutella to cheer me up!
Hope everyone is having a lovely day in the sunshine ☀️

HE88 · 14/06/2020 13:14

Congratulations @1990EM lovely news ☺️ xx

Tink20058 · 14/06/2020 13:14

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉@1990EM I got pregnant straight after miscarriage too and currently just over 8 weeks so fingers crossed for healthy pregnancies for everyone xxx

MichT4 · 14/06/2020 13:13

Congratulations @1990EM. More lovely news! Let’s hope it continues xxx

Niisa · 14/06/2020 12:57

CONGRATSSSSS @1990EM!!!! This month is truly blessed! We've had so many BFPs and we're only halfway through! FX for more of you beautiful ladies to join us! 💕💕💕

SmileyT · 14/06/2020 12:55

Congratulations @1990EM what a fantastic weekend of BFPs - my DP has told me that I am not allowed to tell MN before I tell him if I get a BFP so totally understand 😂 wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months ❤️

1990EM · 14/06/2020 12:49

Hi girls. Huge congrats to @Niisa and @ttcin2020!! Whoop whoop! Just popping on to add some good news.. Got a BFP this weekend! Didn't say anything on here till now because I wanted to tell my husband first and he was away all day yesterday. Still in shock and denial, with my PCOS and only one month since I miscarried, I didn't think it was possible. Super nervous now that I didn't give my uterus lining long enough after my MC to recover 🙈 the second guessing is no better now that I've had a positive! But so grateful. Hoping this little one is ok and that we will get to meet him or her in 9 months. 💓 another loss so soon would be devastating..

Niisa · 14/06/2020 12:30

Thanks ladies 💕💕

I had quite a few symptoms I can't lie 😂

  • around 4/5 dpo I started feeling nauseous and had heartburn (which hasn't left yet)
  • 9dpo I became extremely exhausted to the point where I'm napping at least once a day.
  • 10dpo I got my heightened smell back so was noticing smells I only ever noticed whilst pregnant and I was hot all the time

All these symptoms I had during my pregnancy and not since my MC so I was suspicious but thought it's too early to test since it's only been 3 week since last AF started. I never get spotting except when I had MC and my boobs are sore-ish. Not anymore sore than just before AF. I did get a few sharp pains in abdomen but I've been having those since MC so I ignored them 😂

Hope that helps!

SmileyT · 14/06/2020 11:27

@MichT4 what I read is that if the 3 temps after ovulation are higher than the 6 temps directly before than that confirms ovulation but if there is one random high one you can discount it as may be down to other factors. Currently T - 0 cup - 1 but I've still got two or three days left to play with 😂

MichT4 · 14/06/2020 11:24

Thanks @SmileyT. I think you’re right, I might stop OPKs now, not sure why I did one this morning - it’s become so routine 😂.

Interesting re temp. So it doesn’t matter what it was in the weeks leading up to ovulation, it’s just an increase now to look out for?

Hope your new menstrual cup challenge is proving successful xx

SmileyT · 14/06/2020 11:20

@MichT4 Think 0.4 degrees temp increase is average so 0.3 degree temp increase after 1st day is good after ovulation, as long as it stays high that's indicating that ovulation is done ☺️

I wouldn't worry too much about High/ low now on femometer, both are negative and mine move between them after ovulation just depending on how the app picks them up xx

WellHurrahAndHuzzah · 14/06/2020 11:09

Ahhhhh wow congratulations @Niisa and @ttcin2020!! Brilliant news. So nice to have other people from this thread joining me in BFP land. How are you feeling?

I'm still checking for blood every time I go to the toilet, and I don't see me stopping until February Hmm

MichT4 · 14/06/2020 10:47

Morning! Happy Sunday!

I don’t know what to think any more 😂 look at my OPK this morning after that low yesterday 🤷🏻‍♀️

In Ava news, both RHR and breathing rate still ramping up, and my temp took an upward curve last night so maybe I’ll get my bigger temp peak in the next day or two? No idea 😭
Can the temp go up a bit and then spike, so rise over a couple of days? Mine only went up 0.3 degrees last night. It doesn’t look like a peak on my chart because I had some high temps earlier on

TTC after MC - June 2020 (Part 2)
ttcin2020 · 14/06/2020 09:53

@2020wish symptom spotting is the worst but not long until you'll know 🤞🏻
I got the faint line yesterday at 9DPO and today a much stronger line and BFP on a digital.
Mostly the different thing this month is my boobs hurt from right after ovulation where normally it's a week before my period. And normally they're very swollen and hurt all over but they're less swollen and more sore, my nipples feel on fire 🤣
Oh and I had a horrible tummy upset at 3DPO could be completely unrelated but I never suffer from an upset tummy but this was awful.

To be honest though I've felt better in this 2WW than I did last month before my period! Might just be last month was off because of the MC.

Fingers crossed your BFP is just around the corner xx

SmileyT · 14/06/2020 09:28

Just catching up, congrats @ttcin2020 🥳 so nice to see two BFPs yesterday xx

@ManchNic I know it's crappy to see AF arrive but just see it as the chance to try again and in 4 weeks you could be celebrating a BFP xx

@Renna sorry it was a shitty day yesterday but sounds like you turned it around in the evening with the bunch of flowers and a nice evening with DH, hope you have a better day today x

@Rainbowhope11 hope you had a lovely birthday 🎂

CD2 for me and I'm focussing all my energy over the next 3 days on mastering this bloody menstrual cup (just seems to leak all the time) , it's actually a welcome distraction from TTC. Hope everyone has a fabulous Sunday 😎

2020wish · 14/06/2020 09:28

@ttcin2020 @Niisa what were your pregnancy symptoms this month and how many dpo did you get BFP? I’m 6dpo and trying not to symptom spot. I’m sneezing, vomited in my mouth slightly twice lol my legs are so sore like tired and swelling and slight stabbing pains down below. Also couldn’t get drunk last night at all while at a birthday bbq.

@girlmum83 it’s all so consuming isn’t it? I’m actually considering maybe giving ttc a rest if I don’t have a sticky bean this month

Girlmum83 · 14/06/2020 09:16

Thanks @VP91x I’m going to attempt to keep going for as long as I have the energy left to do so . My OH gleefully reminded me last night that we’ve gotten lucky before and our youngest daughter was conceived first try during a month long marathon ( 10 years ago I might add .. I’m not as young as I once was 😴) .I’m trying to avoid it becoming a chore . Can feel my enthusiasm dwindling as the days go on but would hate to think I had missed an opportunity . Looking back on old posts And comments from another forum last night I noted that I’ve said I was sure I felt ovulation pains on day 16 and conceived on day 18 🤔 ( I have a 30 day cycle ) when I had my bfp with the twins that I miscarried so I’m sure another few days won’t do any harm 😊 I can slowly feel this ttc journey taking over all my thoughts already so going to try hard to distract myself with other things whilst keeping a look out for lots of lovely bfp posts to keep me motivated along the way 💕 x
