TTC after MC - June 2020 (Part 2)

@Rainbowhope11 I basically just rely on CB because I could never get on with the cheaper ones. This was me static smiley day. I got my dark lines on the cheapie one too. This is the first time I've ever had a second line on it which is why I never use them. I'm just hoping the CB was right now 😭

@VP91x also, I'm thinking of all the times I've relied Only on CB 😫😫

@VP91x I just got my static smiley on cb! So what's interesting is, I've got a temp increase this morning (I've had a shitty sleep though) and my pregmate OPKs aren't as dark. So I'm interested to know whether CB has gotten it totally off, or the other OPKs are off. Either way, I think I've caught my FW thank goodness!

Are you using CB this month?

@Wishingfornumber2 we had no problems conceiving with our other two at all. But like you, I don't think there was any stress involved. It just happened. I never had to track ovulation or anything. It was all very straightforward.

Ahh good luck tomorrow @SmileyT! X

Thanks for your message @HE88. That’s good you were able to get treatment but yes must’ve been a shock. I think that’s the thing, you assume everything is still ok as there were no problems conceiving #1. I have briefly read up on secondary infertility. I didn’t even know it was a thing until about 6 months ago! I have everything crossed for you. X

@chloedancer897 thank you for your reply too. Sorry to hear about your MC. It’s obviously devastating to have a MC after any amount of time but for it to happen after trying for so long must be heartbreaking. Must be frustrating as well to have no reason for not conceiving. Fingers crossed for you too that you get another BFP soon. I think I will have to face the music if we get to the 2 year mark. I just don’t understand it all though as I fell pregnant 1st try with the baby I MC. I guess stress is a big factor because at first we just said we would see what happened and it worked straight away but now I am stressing over it every month. Oh well hopefully it’s true that good things come to those who wait! X

Yes positive thoughts for me, I'll let you all know how I get on. Bed time so I can wake up and update you 🤞🤞🤞

Ah @SmileyT don't think like that positive thoughts 😊. Xx

@HE88 @2020wish @chloedancer897 @MichT4 thanks ladies for the luck, I'm kinda resigned to the fact it isn't my month but who knows ☺️

You're going to laugh at me @VP91x but I'm just using the cheap ones that come with femometer but I just don't want to waste money on better tests, if I see a line I've got some CB to try on 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Bellabubble I think forehead temp is about 0.5 degree less than oral temp and I'm guessing it depends on the outdoor air aswell so I wouldn't worry about it xx

@vp91x thank you for the new thread!! :) How are you doing - did I read you have got your flashy smiley already? That sounds promising!!

I’m 36, ttc our first child. I had a mmc end of Feb, so am now of 4th cycle of trying. Currently 3dpo, took coQ10 and sevenseas conception vits, but after teying to do smep before and it stressing out my oh, we took a more chilled route (well - I didn’t tell hubby when my peak was so he was more relaxed lol!)

Does anyone know mich about the bbt? I have been using it to track ovulation for a while (I use natural cycles and had it originally as birth control). This morning my tempnwas 36.51 as soon as I woke up, I temp orally under my tongue. When I got to school I had my temp taken (we have a digital forehead thermometer) and it said I was 36.06 - I guess the forehead is less accurate, but I thought the temp would rise more when I was up and moving about! Or at least be closer to my bbt than it was! Weird! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ooh good luck @SmileyT.

I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼🌈🌈

Good luck @SmileyT !!!!

@SmileyT oh exciting ur testing tomorrow! Fingers crossed for a BFP

@SmileyT good luck with testing tomorrow I have everything crossed for you. Xx

I think moving to flashys quicker is a great sign @VP91x x

I thought everyone had gone quiet 😂

Reintroduction of me - 31 TTC #1 after a MMC in March. I've been doing SMEP, cheapie opks, CB ovulation tests, temping, taking Vit C, D, E, l'arginine, b12 complex, Coq10, folic acid, calc flour, sesame seeds grapefruit juice and using a cup... basically anything that I read might help 😂

Testing tomorrow but not feeling confident at all but it will get rid of my anxiety over this month 😬

@elliew818 I did another one but it was the same as the previous. Don’t know why I bothered as I’d been drinking too as I said, so probably not the best timing. I’ll do another in the morning.

I’m worried I’m having the CPK equivalent of the endless flashing smileys. It’s only been 2 days an I’m impatient 😤😂

I have had tummy pains for the last day or two but I think I’ve now taken to ovu symptom spotting. I’ve never had them before and think they might be too high for ovu pains. Geeee wizz it’s going to be a long month if I’m already doing this now 🤪

I just told OH he needs to do something to keep me distracted in the TWW. Maybe should start now. Help!!

@Wishingfornumber2 I went privately for investigations and both DH and I are completely fine. No explanation of our infertility. We were on the list for IVF and I got my letter in March telling me treatment was going to start and then my appointment was cancelled because of covid. I got my BFP in May and thought that was it. I'd never fallen pregnant since trying again but the MC knocked the wind out of me. So just patiently waiting and still TTC

@VP91x oh that’s good u may possibly ovulate soon?

@elliew818 yea it sucks. When I fall pregnant again I’m not going to complain on social media again about it

@mrsssk I'm using one step! I've used them for two cycles now and they seem to work ok for me! I test once a day for the first few days and then when I think I'm getting into my fertile days I usually test morning, afternoon and evening (getting a bit addicted to peeing on sticks 😂).

@VP91x it works out as slightly less than two weeks for me as my cycles are quite short, but it's still so long 😂

@2020wish it's so insensitive when people who know about it say things like that, I'm glad you said something though.
@VP91x yeah I want to be complaining about being pregnant just like her but I'd only be doing my DH's in with the moaning, certainly won't be putting it on FB!
Don't worry @MichT4 I find it both gross and quite funny too! Yeah I'd test again to be sure, be careful you don't run out though 👀 lol

@peonyrose87 which cheapie sticks are you using if you don't me asking?
I bought some called One Step, they were only £4 or so but wish I'd asked on the thread before buying! Doh

Good luck with your TWW, hoping it goes by quickly for you and fx 🤞🏽

@VP91x yup, TWW now, the part I hate 😂 I'm so impatient. Ohh that's promising for you!! I've not used the CB kits, but seem to get on ok with the OPK
