TTC after MC - June 2020 (Part 3)

@Hayleylou89 exciting ! Enjoy your check up 😘

@Wishingfornumber2 I have got exactly the same with cramps. I have been having them on and off past days and yesterday I was exhausted, and even took nap. I haven't tested anymore, I'm 13dpo today. I'm just waiting for AF to show the face.

Thanks @VP91x no other AF symptoms that I can think of other than also feeling a bit sick now and again which I have been getting on and off. I don’t usually get that but did last month too so maybe it’s just a new AF symptom that I get now! So annoying that AF and pregnancy symptoms are so similar. I think I will test in a couple of days if still no sign 🤞x

@2020wish

What was your discharge like

@Hayleylou89 hi babe xx good.luck with your appointment today xx yeah AF finished now :) my fertile window will start this weekend and DH and I have said to class that whole week as the fertile week as my peak will be around the middle of next week so as long as we DTD plenty between this weekend and next weekend we will be covered . Last few cycles I've seen my peak opk and DTD on those days and plenty before and obvs hasnt worked for me so think I need to be more relaxed and chilled .
So obvs this cycle I'm not really doing anything. No temping opks etc. The only thing I'm not sure whether to use is pre seed /CP lube ... as when we used this before I got PG ... and I also dont really remember ever seeing much EWCM around fertile times . So I'll see in the fertile week if CM lacking I may use that xxxxx

@VP91x no it's an old house right behind the station, there is supposed to be a load of new builds going up over the next 5years which is part of the reason we picked it as hoping everything will go up in value 💰

@Hayleylou89 hope the appt goes well 🙏

CD11 for me and tried to DTD this morning but it was not happening, feel so fed up because we actually had more sex before ttc but when I talk to OH about stopping he says that really isn't what he wants, but no idea what to do 😭

Still can’t feel cervix*

Morning ladies

Unbelievably pee’d off. 15dpo. Temp increased this morning instead of continuing to drop. Bfn and No sign of AF still. When to loo second time this morning and on a wipe the smallest bit of pink tinged colour. Still can feel cervix at all as it’s too high. So dunno if it’s af starting. Just ready for her to come now for new cycle

@VP91x ahh I love a good ikea trip! That’s good you didn’t have to wait long to get in. I live about 10 mins away from one and was so handy when I moved into a new house. As the other ladies have said, it just takes one swimmer to get there and you have covered yourself well so please don’t loose hope.

So after not getting a static smiley this month I have still gone with the fact that I did ovulate. Going on past cycles I thought I would be about 9/10 days PO. I’m CD31 today and AF usually shows today but no sign yet so I took a test this morning and was BFN. The rational side of me knew it would be but I had a glimmer of hope that I would see that line! I even had a dream last night that I took a test and it was positive. Every month I also say I won’t symptom spot but I do! Have had cramps on and off the last 5 days and I only usually get them about a day or so before AF, sore boobs and yesterday I was so tired I went to bed earlyish which isn’t like me. But I know that can all be linked to AF too. I also had really bad leg cramp the other night and obviously google came up with that being a pregnancy symptom too 🙄. Oh well I guess I will just wait for AF to show now. Haven’t been temping so still just a guessing game.

Hope your booking in app goes ok @Hayleylou89, that’s good you can be seen in person. X

@VP91 @MichT4

I know i was suprised it was in person as the other girls in the group had all theirs over the phone. Im feeling fine minus the nausea but Its on and off iv had absolutely no cramping this time which is worrying me but then having the nausea seems to reassure me.

@MichT4 the booking in appt is just a boring medical history appt take about 45 mins and they ask you if u want to opt into the screening tests etc so no scan today. Im booked in a week today for a second scan at the hosp, ill be 9 weeks then. (Times absolutely dragging) ill be honest 🙄 glad ur both well, ill keep checkin in on ur tww👌🏼 xx

@VP91x he's always had issues with his back but it's usually manageable but he can get episodes where he basically can't move and can sometimes last a few months and it's not helped by physio appointments only been on the telephone I'm just hoping the break helps xx

@VP91x exactly!! I totally get what you mean. Anyway, I’m just going to carry on doing my thing. Somehow things like that put the pressure on even more because she gets to be going through it and I don’t want the pressure. So I’ll leave that vent behind me now 😂 thank you for being my ears.

@Hayleylou89 that’s exciting. Is it a scan again or is a booking appt something else? Let us know how it goes.
And all fine thanks, just in the TWW hoping some obvious symptom comes and smacks me in the face.

@Dipsy77 you still have time to catch by September, and maybe a month off will be just what you need. Take this month as it comes, you might want to DTD a few times and you never know....always keep the hope xx

@MichT4 I spent yesterday really down and upset about it I had a cry but then thought I can't really do anything about it so just pulled myself back up again. My due date is creeping up not helped that it's on DDs first birthday, it's September and I thought I'd be pregnant by now so hopefully a bit of a break may help us get that BFP, I may stop using OPKs and cut back on the many supplements I'm taking and just try the laid back approach x

Morning ladies been lurking for those bfps and hoping to see some for u ladies vvvv soon 🙏
Hope ur all ok!! Iv got my booking in app at 9am just going on a little power walk this morning before i head the hospital on my own as the hubby cnt come so told him not much point taking the morning off work if he has to sit outside the hospital and wait. Hopefully things change in soon with that. I know @renna is just finishing AF... how r u @2020wish?
And also @VP91x @MichT4 @SmileyT @Bellabubble @HopeForRainbowbaby @Ejb86 @Diorissimo1985 @Niisa hope ur all doing ok ladies and everyone else in this lovely thread. X x x

@VP91x oh it only came down 0.07 degrees so it’s still high, so worrying over nothing most likely. I generally feel quite positive that this month was covered well, so now just got to hope one of those little swimmers was patient and made its way in! 🤞🏼

When I said that she just said that she could see why that’s hard but I have to look forward. That doesn’t sound bad I know but it’s not that easy. Of course I’m looking forward but you don’t forget either. I also told her I had been worried that it wouldn’t happen and she just was asking why as if I’m stupid and that I’m stressing myself out which will mean it won’t happen. I dunno, I’m probably being unfair. OH reckons maybe she feels really guilty so is seeing how I am but also really wants me to be ok so that she feels less bad (and obvs because she wants me to be ok - I hope!).

@Dipsy77 it sounds like that might be a good call for you two. Definitely doesn’t help with OH’s back - will just add to the pressure. It will probably do you good too. Do you feel ok about it? You sound fairly positive about it, which is good xx

Morning ladies

@VP91x yay you had your temp rise then?
Funny you should say as now I’ve had a few days of higher temps, one app has me as ovulating Friday, which is what I thought, but now another has Saturday. Saturday is the only damn day we didn’t DTD so now I’m worrying too 😂. Plus my temp came down slightly and so now I’m thinking should it keep going up?

My sister text last night asking how I was which I thought was really sweet, but I dunno I then felt some level of judgement when I told her it’s hard to forget where we should have been (would have been 20 weeks now!). So now I feel a bit stupid about it all 😢. I didn’t want special treatment, but as she’s sailing through her PG, I thought she might just be a bit more sympathetic. Sorry - early morning brain dump xx

Morning ladies, I've decided to stop this month as I'm CD16 with no signs of ovulation which is late for me, DPs back is in pieces he is asleep most of the day with his tablets and when he is awake he is in so much pain. We have tried but it hasn't worked out and he says he is now feeling so pressured by it all so I'm going to leave it this month in the hope that he can recuperate for next month. I'm also going to start dtd later next month as I think I burnt him out by starting too early this month, fingers crossed for more BFPs this month, I'll be cracking open the gin later x

@emsnewmum hope you're feeling ok, it's an emotionally tough time but I've found focusing on looking after myself health wise is helping. How far along were you? X

@Bellabubble that's my worry that now hormones have messed me about and I'll start getting spotting before AF and every time wonder if it's AF or IB 🤦🏽‍♀️

@VP91x and @SmileyT IKEA Edmonton is my local as well. I'm a few mins drive away in Redbridge! I went the other day, straight in with no queue and it's small enough that I'm not in there for days. Still managed to buy a load of crap I don't need though 🤷🏽‍♀️
