TTC after MC - July 2020 (Part 5)

@Rainbowhope11 thank you that is so kind, get some sleep it's 5am here and don't think I'm going back to sleep 👀 I'm not even sure I've accepted it's true, promised I wouldn't do more than a couple tests but temptation to test again to check is high 😂 really hope you'll be getting your BFP in a couple of weeks 🤞 🤞

@MichT4 thank you so much I'm completely in shock - temp dropped to 36.46 this morning but I did take it at 4am opposed to 5.45ish I normally take it 🤔 I'm not overthinking it, for today at least I'm just going to be bloody happy. How are you feeling today? xx

Oh my goodness @SmileyT ❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈 I'm ecstatic!!! It's 11pm here in the US and I've been waiting up just to see you get your bfp this morning 😁 I'm so happy for you lovely, you're always encouraging everyone on here and spreading positivity, you totally deserve this😊 enjoy that Nandos! Btw I'm really jealous that you have nandos there 😂🤣

@SmileyT how much did your temp drop out of interest?
I’m so bloody happy for you! Had a feeling this would be your month x

@SmileyT a lovely line too 😁 xx

@SmileyT yes!!!!!! Congratulations lovely. This is wonderful to see! So thrilled for you and wishing you a happy, healthy 9 months!! 🥳🥳🥰🥰🌈🌈
Xxx

Temp dropped this morning but thank you for all your luck girls, I'm in floods of tears and OH has gone back to sleep for half an hour before work 😭 my first ever FRER so I hope it's not fake or something x

@VP91x why was you up even earlier than usual? x

I also just read that Brazil nuts are good for boosting fertility which is a coincidence as I made these last night which are DELICIOUS (and obviously super healthy!)

🔪 Cut dates in half
🌰 Insert Brazil nuts
🍫 Melt dark chocolate
❄️ Dip the nut filled dates in the melted chocolate and leave to set by cooling in the fridge
🤤 Enjoy!

Double whammy on the superfoods today 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks @MichT4 and @VP91x! It's actually pretty delicious!

Also @vp91x so funny about your EWCM pics! My amazon photos in a years time when it shows me memories from this year are gonna be INTERESTING! Hopefully we can laugh at the ridiculous TTC pics with babies in arm! 🍀

@Rebecca1992 not until next Friday 😭

@chloedancer897 😂😂 absolutely!! Its a like a bad itch! Roll on Sunday I will test, how about u?

@Rebecca1992 every day I google ...dpo symptoms and watch YouTube videos. Even though the 3 times I was pregnant I had no symptoms! The TWW is just torture. I need to pee on some sticks!lol

@MichT4 we literally had the same 😂 I had southern fried chicken strips, chips and rice 🤤 great minds think alike it seems x

@VP91x you've been much better than me and MichT4 with your lentil Bolognese, tbh I was feeling strangely off my food and have to leave half of it 👀 Also after all the advice from ladies on here, me and DP did much better when I stopped sharing every detail he actually wanted to have sex again which is kinda nice 👌🏾 but I'm sure your OH will still get the job done when the time comes xx

@Northernsoul90 thanks so much, honestly I keep saying it but it's so nice to have everyone support eachother on here. Hope the blood test goes well and you get all your questions answered and hopefully a cheeky scan aswell x

@Jazper ive told myself how chilled I will be this month if I don't catch and I'm already thinking 'well maybe I'll just order the opks in case of an emergency' there is only so much relaxing we can do right 😂 but I also had a chat with my OH and I think it can be good to agree a plan that works for you as a couple and try something a little different if it makes us feel calmer even for one week of our cycles x

@ManchNic @vp91x thank you both for sharing your experiences, it's made me feel a lot better x coupled with a little cry with DH when he got home I let it all out. I feel much better for it though.

@vp91x I'm in a fit of giggles at the thought of your CM photography. Maybe some to be framed along with the wee sticks and pots for the home decor? 😂
Pretty sure my OH would go off the thought of sex for a good length of time if he caught me doing any of my TTC stuff 😂

@Jazper I am very similar in timing to you - my mc started on 27th feb - I had a scan on March 12th (at the time they were saying they needed to see me as they thought I might have dates wrong - but I was certain I hadn’t as it was a one time dtd when we were finally alone at my parents!) and everything was clear and they said it was as if I was at the beginning of my cycle as I had thin lining and not due to ovulate yet. I’m not sure if I ovulated that cycle - but I’m on to my 5th cycle now! I feel you! I worry a bit as I’m 36 so I’m trying not to panic about my age lol! Sometimes I feel like I am Dory from finding Nemo - just keep swimming.. xx

@chloedancer897 I think we torture ourselves symptom spotting! 😪 the waiting is just so hard, maybe even more so for me this time as it's my first cycle post MC/CP so I've no idea what my bodies doing!!

My TWW has begun! How do you ladies get through it? I find it so unbelievably tough as I symptom spot the entire time, day in day out 😫 I know it's daft because symptoms can change with each pregnancy. HELP!

@Rebecca1992 me too! I'm 4DPO and was wakened through the night with sharp lower abdo pain. I doubt it's anything significant for me. It's too early.

@VP91x see below 😂 keep forgetting to tag you x

I've checked internally a lot this cycle but more for cervical position post ovulation. Perhaps that's why I haven't seen any.

I've got a funny relationship with evening primrose oil. I was taking it for my skin prior to ttc last time. When we started ttc I continued to take it up to ovulation. When nothing happened for the first three months, I decided - having conceived my first three children with ease and without taking any supplements - to stop with the EPO all together and I caught on that very month. I'm sure it was just coincidence, or perhaps I just wasn't overthinking everything and so was more relaxed. But I'm in two minds as to whether to start up with it again or not 🤯

Thank you for asking @SmileyT . I'm feeling a little more relaxed this evening. Had a chat with the OH and it always makes me feel better. We think I should try not using OPK's for a couple of months but whether or not that actually happens is another story 😂 it's like, I knew I shouldn't test at 10dpo midday but I went ahead and did it anyway 🙈🤣

Hi Ladies, hope your all doing well! I've had some pinching and pulling sensations today along with CM (I usually dont get much through my cycle) I'm 5dpo, has anyone any thoughts on this??

Symptom spotting in the ttw 🙄 driving myself mad!!

Thank you @ManchNic it really is very frustrating and you’re just willing your body to get back to normal. Xx
