TTC after MC - June 2020 (Part 2)

Yea going to test tomorrow. Will be interesting if anything to see if these lines trying to form are actually something or nothing at all. But I am feeling pretty bokey today. Hoping it’s pregnancy related and not just am upset tummy

I think tetley decaf is alright if you like normal tetley, my husband bought me pg tips decaf when I got pregnant a couple of months ago and I found it horrible. I can’t live without my tea! I don’t drink decaf until I’m actually pregnant but even then I allow myself the first brew of the day to be a normal cuppa. I usually end up drinking ginger tea for the first couple of months pregnant anyway (I hate the taste) but it stops me feeling sick.

Welcome @DontStandSoClose, we’re all here to support you and fx for you that this is your month

@2020wish fx for you - I can definitely see something in the pic. I would test tomorrow for sure x

Thank you everyone. Feeling much better now and will add the decaf tea recommendations to my ever growing list of TTC products!

I’ve been lurking for a while but not posting (I posted a thread or so ago when we tried 1st month after an early miscarriage but I don’t think I ovulated that cycle). I try not to get obsessed so don’t tend to post much. I’m 8dpo now I think so quite a while to go before I’ll test, probably a week tomorrow, that’s when my period is due anyway. Nice to see lots of people are getting their bfp on here!

@MichT4 opks are such a mixed blessing .. on one hand it's nice to have something to do to feel like you are in control, but they are also the most infuriating things ever!!

@Banbi will have to try clipper too ☕️

@VP91x going to try that tea. LOVE my tea and sadly haven't found a decaf one I like yet.. still, better than nothing. A hug in a mug ☺

@1990EM makes perfect sense, thank you. OPKs have given me a rocky road this month 😂. Never got what I would call a peak but Femometer said I did. I basically agreed to disagree with the app most of the times but I’m the same with holding, drinking etc. Not sure I’m doing it right all the time. Who’d think POAS could be so tricky.
I guess I’ll just wait and see, which is probably best. I’ll assume not much has occurred unless I’m given signs otherwise. Was nice to see the EWCM though, I must say.
😂 I think when I said we needed to DTD today he thought he had some time. No. He didn’t 💦🍆

@MichT4 I think it might have been the Monday but can't be sure. I got a clear BFP the next Friday which would have been 11dpo if it was the first day of ewcm when I ovulated. If i had ovulated on the later date i think it wouldnt have been such a strong positive by then. If that makes sense!! I never get peaks on opks but from reading on here I think it's because I didn't hold for long enough, I also drank like normal when doing opks so urine was prob way too dilute.
I am so hopeful for you this month. Howling at your unsuspecting husband getting pounced on 😂

@DBTJ Sorry for your BFN. Mixed emotions comes with the territory I think. Take care of yourself - whatever that needs to look like for you. I'll be thinking of you.

Bleeding was pretty light, but my period normally starts out light and then goes full tilt about 12 hours later so I didn't think anything of it. I don't have cramps in the way I normally would by now if it were AF. I'm going to try and resist testing for a couple of days and see what happens, but I'm symptom spotting like mad. Really grateful to have you lot to share with, as I don't want to put my OH through this rollercoaster - he's pro, but worried about money at the moment so I think is hoping it takes a few months.

@2020wish you are so brave testing so early and sharing it with us all. I think there is a bit of a mark and am keeping everything crossed for you.

And @MichT4 @VP91x - a vote for clipper decaf tea from me

@mrsssk truly one of the worst feelings, hope you're ok❤

@1990EM 🥳🥳 sounds promising to me. Couldn’t believe when I saw it. OH thought I’d fallen down the loo I was in there so long. Instead he got pounced on exit.

Just hope this is a good sign of things happening. Hooray for CM 😂

Do you know which of the days you ovulated? How are you feeling? xx

@MichT4 yay for EWCM!!! I got it 2 days in my last cycle (a Monday and Wednesday, so weird) And they were the only days I dtd plus maybe the Saturday, and I got pregnant from that! So naturally now I swear by it 😂 ewcm days are the days to get busyyyy...get to it!!

@banbi

I'm 12dpo and I did a test Bfn I thought I saw a line however clearly my eyes were deceiving me. I will see how the bleeding goes if it stops I will retest. I have mixed emotions at the mo.
How was your first day of bleeding and dis you have any cramps

@2020wish It DEFINITELY looks like a line is trying to come!! I can see it! Please say your testing tomorrow!

@2020wish based on the length of this cycle, I’ll be testing in August 😂

@mrsssk I'm so sorry That really sucks. I spent that first couple of hours of being numb before reality settled in emailing NCT and my yoga teacher and everyone else. And then I forgot to take the date for my whooping cough vaccination out of Google calendar. It creeps up on you. You really deserve better from the NHS.

@DBTJ I hope it is IB for you. How long will you hold off to test? I too am freaking out. Having announced AF arriving here yesterday, it's... stopped. It's probably just spotting and my body getting used to its post-MC rhythm. Probably.

But, whatever happens for me this time, I will say - I was sure the IB last time I got pregnant was the start of my period, and then it wasn't. So huge fingers crossed you get the outcome you want.

I am such a bad MNer. We were so trying-not-trying until this month that I haven't even written down when we DTD. I don't have any tests in. I am going to go mad. I am going to get fired for being on MN in the middle of the day.

@2020wish I'm due AF on Sunday so going to hold off until then. But the temptation is high!!!

@2020wish I can see a bit of a mark at the top, but obviously can’t be sure. Excited to see it hopefully develop over the next few days

@VP91x bloody POAS! I drink PG tips decaf too, and decaf coffee. I was a big coffee drinker and when I was PG obviously stopped it. The headaches were something else! So I’ve just stayed off it now. If I’m out or someone makes a caf coffee/tea I drink it but not often now. Love a cuppa!

@mrsssk I remember getting that call too. Heartbreaking. No idea how these surgeries can’t be more joined up

That’s it I’m a pic there... the faint line is starting where the black line is I’ve drawn. It’s clearer I’m person but again could be nothing. I’m only 8dpo. This time last month I was getting absolutely nothing until 10dpo

@HopeForRainbowbaby I can’t help but test lol

@mrsssk yes they rang me so many times I was almost going to put a complaint in. Anytime I felt better they rang me and completely knocked me off
When’s everyone else testing

@VP91x I'm not surprised that they forget and still call up. It's just a bit painful to be reminded like that. But I'm doing ok thanks for asking. Hub has made me a nice cup of tea which is doing wonders!

Though now worrying about my caffeine consumption and whether I should switch it out for the delish grapefruit or Pom instead lol
