TTC baby no1. Looking for fellow crazy TTC friends!

@Stabal did you get pregnant again after miscarrying.. have you been for any test?

Hey they said I couldnt unless I had 3 miscarriages dont think they count the chemical pregnancies. I've had a few test but theyve all come back normal and the gynecology dr just says theres nothing wrong etc. I do ovulate but dont think its every month

@Griff2020 hi! PCOS sufferer here and TTC for over 2 years before falling pregnant and miscarrying. Have you been referred to anyone for fertility tests? There's a lot of success stories with aspirin but I wouldn't recommend unless you've been tested for the blood clotting disorder which they will do if you go for fertility treatment. Do you ovulate? Are you on any supplements?

@Pippy20 yeah I think I will. I just don't like the thought of my cycle being messed about, it took years to get it regular. I might ask for bloods on certain cycle days to be repeated. Thanks for listening to my rants lol

@Stabal I would maybe see how you are over the weekend and call your GP next week if you’re still worried - that’s what they’re there for and it might help put your mind at rest speaking to them :-)

Any one in same position? What did you do .. any success stories?

So I'm in my early 30s and me and my partner have been trying for 2/3 years but only had two chemical pregnancies and 1 early miscarriages. I've got polycystic ovaries and b12 deficiency. We might be going for IVF but part of me fears about another miscarriage. It's like we wait ages to be pregnant and it just ends and other people have it so easy. I dont know if to try baby asprin??

@Pippy20 more like spotting but a little heavier. It came late evening on the 6th and was gone by midday the next day and now it's back again. You know when it feels stupid to even mention to a doctor.. I don't know what to do

@Stabal :-( is it intermittent bleeding like spotting or a proper flow? Might be worth giving your doctor a call? Hope you’re okay x

Bleeding again.. I don't understand 😣

[quote CAG14]@mumSW5 hello! Could the spotting be due to having the coil removed? I've heard it can take a couple of cycles to get back to regular periods after it has been removed?[/quote]
Hello

I didn't have any pain or apotting when I had it removed, but indeed it can be a reason. I guess only time will really tell what it is... I've been having a bit of heartburn and fatigue in the afternoon. But im sure this is just my mind paying tricks with me.

Hello everyone

We started TTC this month, first time ever in my life.
July 6 - clearblue no face
7th - CB no face
8th - 10th - CB blinking face

BD 2nd, 5th, 8th and 9th.

Yesterday I had light brownish spotting and today I had a bit more, lighter colour though. I had copper coil IUD for 3 years and had it removed on 29th June.

I also had mild cramping today. Could this be just ovulation bleeding? Anyone experienced the same?

@Pippy20 I love Dawn porters books...have you read the others? I've got where the crawdads sing on my wish list...let me know what you think. I'd really recommend Hearts invisible furies by John Boyne. I didn't want it to end!

Look at us talking about something other than cycles and babies 😂😂
However...which tests on Amazon did you say we're reduced? I'm not sure whether I'm just not ovulating yet or the IC I got are rubbish.

I've bought a bbt and some different OPKs from home health... check them out...had all kinds of stuff!

@Faith82 sorry about your bfn.... definitely try to enjoy your weekend and have a few drinks. Sounds like you need a break.

Hope everyone has a good weekend 😘

@LMA27 I’m about to start where the crawdads sing - I’ve heard good things! Just finished Cows by Dawn O’Porter - not my usual read but highly entertaining and a nice distracting read! Ugh I don’t envy you in house completions etc - such a stressful time but at least you aren’t moving anywhere I guess!

Haha I really fancy fish and chips now too!

@CAG14 yeah I always do it around 12 o'clock and then around 6 if it's at peak. Trying to stay positive and carefully watching my temps lol

@Stabal argh so frustrating. But sounds a little similar to what happened with @CAG14 ?

@Faith82 I’m just reiterating what everyone else has said, just because it’s got a BFN today doesn’t mean you’re out of it yet until AF arrives. a couple of drinks won’t do you any harm and by the sounds of it you need it ☺️

@CAG14 we usually have pizza Friday (not usually a take away we try make them or just a nice fresh one) but you’ve made me crave fish & chips now 😂

@Pippy20 what are you reading? well today has been a nightmare so I already need a drink, god knows how the weekend will end up like.
So the doorbell rings at 8.30am with a guy here to fix our built in wardrobes that OH forgot to mention, so I’m stood with a towel in my hair only just dressed and the room he needs to go in is my OH son who’s asleep 😂 as you can guess he wasn’t impressed being woken up haha then my day in work just went upside down because people are so frustrating & my house was supposed to complete today but now it’s been delayed till next week as the mortgage offer hasn’t been received form the buyers side even though everyone said it had. luckily I already live with OH so it’s not stopping me from moving but seriously what a day. 3pm is acceptable for a glass of wine right? 🤣 I’ll stop ranting now haha

@Faith82 I hope you can enjoy your weekend and chill as much as you possibly can with everything going on 💜

I'm losing the plot here. Due to ovulate in a few days and yesterday I had a high opk but today barely a line. Normally my tests get consistently darker until peak. Ugh! This whole thing would drive you to insanity honestly.

Thank you @CAG14, @Pippy20 and @Stabal

I so need to relax this weekend. Like I say I’d be so surprised if I was pregnant right now anyway as 100% doesn’t feel like it but I know I guess whether af comes on Monday is the only way of knowing for sure! After which, time to pick myself back up and get ready for trying again.

@Faith82 sorry for the BFN 😔 despite what threads on MN would have you believe, it's not all that common to get a positive test 11 DPO. You're not out until AF arrives. And as @CAG14 says, no nutrients come from us in the early weeks so please don't stress yourself if you drink now and get a BFP later on!

@Faith82 I agree with @CAG14 in that a couple of drinks aren’t going to really do any damage and if it makes you feel a bit better and relax it’s probably worth it!

Sorry about the BFN, it’s always gutting :-(. I normally have a couple of days of sulking and then gear myself up and get excited for the next cycle! It’s good to try new things so definitely worth looking at SMEP, these things can’t help to try! Like me and my wheatgrass lawnmower juice shots 😂 actually don’t mind the taste of it anymore! And it’s packed with so much goodness I figure even if it doesn’t do much for fertility I’m at least getting the other health benefits of it 😅
