TTC after MC - June 2020 (Part 3)

@VP91x Yes I think we are record holders this month lol! I got up to 12 days of flashies and then run out. I did read after 10 days it says to stop as you probably won’t see a static face but I was determined to! Are you going to keep going with it too? I have that feeling in the pit of my stomach that AF is going to arrive though 😣. I am due anytime from tomorrow until middle of the week. X

@ejb86 😂😂😂 that comment about your hubby and kids made me laugh.
I hope your little boy is right!

@VP91x thanks lovely. I’m sure they will, just impatient. It’s funny because I know if they do go up, then I’ll start counting down for something else. This journey is never ending impatience!
Any dramas this morning? Did you get the breakfast and cup right today?

@VP91x I've been ok thanks. Really busy at school, been back three weeks and I'm sharing a bubble of approximately 9 children starting next week. They are a year group that I'm not used to but I am going to be teaching most of them next year too, so it will be a good start to getting to know them. It could all change if I got BFP next week though.

@Bellabubble inifinte patience for other people's children. None for my own or my husband!

@Ejb86 too cute!! Hoping his sixth sense is working!!

@VP91x yea going to do that and if it’s a bfn I’m sure I can talk myself into knowing I’ve have bfn before on that CD lol

@SmileyT it’s so hard all the waiting isn’t it - I think I’m extra sensitive this week as my other friend is now pregnant too. Sadly she is suffering from antenatal depression and was saying to me if she could go back and change it she wouldn’t fall pregnant. I think when she is on the right medication she will probably feel more positive bless her. I guess as well, with every AF i get, it’s a chance for the lining to be better quality and give the little bean more chance to stick like you say :) Damn that 25% chance each time though lol! I think I got swayed by all the articles and talk you hear about people being more fertile after a mc etc, and the fact that last time I fell pregnant first try before the mc - I have discovered as a teacher I am so so patient. In this part of my life, patience seems to have gone out the window lol! Xx

LB, little boy xx

@Ejb86 lol funny comment. Fingers crossed, although what does IB mean?

So I'm 6dpo today and my lb says I have a baby in my tummy. God how I hope he is right.

Hahah I wish I wasn’t desperate but unfortunately I am. And I would be testing every day if I didn’t make the Sunday pack lol I’ve one clear blue digital here and a clear blue early manual here. But 4 frer lol I just can’t understand why they never work for me

@2020wish I think you should test when you’re ready. The longer you can leave it the better for the result, so if you aren’t desperate to test then I’d wait.

I definitely wouldn’t use an FRER then, can you grab yourself a CB for Monday?

If you’re feeling really patient, you could just wait until Wednesday? Wishful thinking?

I’d do it whenever you think you’ve more chance to see a BFP. There’s no point doing one if you’re then just going to conclude it’s too early, just prolongs it. Easier said than done

Sorry I should correct.. one half line during pregnancy one on cycle day 29 and that half or quarter of line I thought I saw on 8dpo this cycle

@MichT4 I’m actually a bit nervous to test tomorrow now... I’ve just spent the morning going back on my cycles and my last three positive test. All three cycles I got bfn right up until CD28 and my BFP on CD29. Every single cycle lol tomorrow I’m only cd28 and AF due either Monday or Tuesday depending on different apps

Unsure of what to do

Plus I know I’ve melted everyone’s head about this but I honestly think I’m one of those small percentages of women that don’t react to pink dye tests. In all three cycles I have NEVER got a positive on a frer. Even when I was getting 2-3 weeks on a clear blue digital during my second pregnancy. So I dunno if I’m smart using them? It’s the strangest thing. I’ve tried all different frer tests from different batch’s and shops and never get that positive apart from two half lines during pregnancy one and last week at 8dpo this cycle but tbh I probably had line eyes so I’m doubting myself now. But never a clear faint full line wel after af was late in all cycles. Clear blue early detection have always been spot on for me tho..

@2020wish are you still holding out for tomorrow?

@MichT4 thank you. Might look into it

Not sure on shift work but I think as long as you can sleep for more than 4 hours then it just takes your lowest temp at rest. So I think it would be ok. It’s meant to take the pressure away from same time each day, so suggests to me shift work is included there xx

@2020wish the jury is out at the moment. It’s only my first month and I’ve never tracked BBT at all before so it’s all very new.
I like it because I just wouldn’t be good at manual temping, so without this I’d be none the wiser. Obviously I’m now waiting to see some definite signs in my temp, but that could be an issue with me rather than Ava. At the moment it says I ovulated a week ago and I didn’t. But I’ve read that after a full cycle, you have to kind of force it to recalculate and then going forward it should be better. Sounds weird, but I’m not sure one month is enough for it to be effective.
Like I said, at the moment I’m just waiting to see if it tells me anything before I decide if I like it or want to launch it (somewhere safe, it’s expensive 😂) but for me it really is the only way of temping so it’s better than nothing.

I don’t regret buying it, I got it on eBay and am confident I could sell it on. I just wish it was telling me what I want it to!

So that’s an inconclusive review there. I will say if you get one, ignore month 1, or maybe do a few cheeky OPKs around ovulation so you can confirm it in the app. Although your previous data might make it more accurate anyway.

@micht4 do you know much about the Ava and shift work? Considering next cycle completely binning the opk strips and manual tempting and not planning sex at all. And maybe just wearing the Ava to see in hindsight my ovulation and if I got my window. How are you finding it yourself compared to the cost

@VP91x of course I’ve googled every eventuality. I have actually seen a fair few charts where it’s a really gradual increase. However I’ve also seen a couple with bigger spikes. So unknown what to expect but I guess with my first month of data I won’t really know. I think if it’s gradual, for piece of mind I might just ask again about a test just for ovulation only. Although that’s a snapshot I suppose so not overly useful. As long as the gradual reaches that higher level. Dreading another drop.
Oh I dunno, let’s see what happens. I just keep wanting another night to come so I can check it and I really don’t want to be wishing away my weekend 😂

Sorry to hear u girls are still in limbo with the opks! Fx u get peaks today!!

@DontStandSoClose have u tested?

@chloedancer897 haha at least hubby stopped you

@VP91x and what happened with your temps? xx

@Bellabubble impatient is what I am! I just want to see something definitive and it seems I’m being made to wait.

@VP91x it has gone up, but only a bit, from 35.96 to 36.1. I just don’t feel confident I’m going to see that real spike, and I want to!
I decided last night not to stress too much about it if I can, I hope I am ovulating, but panicking won’t change if I have or not. I say that, if I don’t get some sign it happened I’ll be gutted. I’ve felt quite positive, despite how long the cycle is, and if I don’t get some signs then 🤬.

I can’t believe it’s still flashing. Is this mornings darker than yesterday’s FMU? I think your lunchtime one might be an exciting one 🤞🏼

Harrods sounds fun, but I can imagine it’s not to most social of jobs. And probably quite stressful.

@SmileyT 😂 sounds like you’ve got a plan there then, just need the hours to cover the hair and clothes and you’re sorted!
I am super jealous of your holiday! Can we all come? 😂

@DontStandSoClose how exiting. Have you tested? Let’s see!

@Rainbowhope11 is it worth posting a picture? When will you test again?

@DontStandSoClose well done for having such will power!! I was supposed to be doing that this month, but then my amazon package arrived and then next minute, boom I was peeing on a stick so early for no good reason 🙈😂

With my previous pregnancy (ended in mmc), I didn't even think I was pregnant, one of my apps said I should test that day and I had no intention of testing, only tested because I found a test lying around. I really wish I could go back to that stress free time 🙈

Haha! Symptom denying 😂🤣 love that!! Well good luck if you decide to test tomorrow 😊
