TTC after MC - July 2020 (Part 5)

@Mommybear05 I'm doing good thanks decided to take the relaxed approach this month as I was getting a bit stressed with everything ttc related. I've stopped using opks and writing down every little detail of my cycle and I've just been dtd every couple of days. With regards to your spotting I get that every cycle before af and have done since coming off the pill back in 2017 so it's totally normal for me our bodies love to play mind games with us. Xx

@AC2020 oh gosh that sounds awful about the comments when you were shielding! I bet that was very hurtful! Social media too I completely behave differently now. I used to take a look at fb every single day. Now I don’t go on at all, tell a lie, I went on the other day for a quick nose/ catch up. First time in months. I looked at the feed and came off that’s it. And I’m so much happier! I find it a place for people to always show and share their happiness and success which is great but if you feel in a bad place or in a place where you need to focus on getting what you want and not other people. Now I scroll through Pinterest instead and just look at different ideas relating to my own personal interests- recipes, home decor, ideas for teaching or for tutoring my son, beauty recipes, that sort of thing. And I’m focusing on me and my life. I would highly recommend it. I always think my moms generation didn’t get daily picture updates from everyone she knew 🤷‍♀️ She just lived her own life When she was my age and there’s something to be said about it.

@Northernsoul90 that's lovely you were able to be so supportive to your sister, can't say I'd have coped so well
@SmileyT well I'm from Grays 😳 but live in Hadleigh now, near Leigh-on-Sea. Where are you from?
Welcome @StrawberriCream and hopefully we can get you through the rollercoaster of emotions.

@VP91x
No unsure at what point they'll take things further and with Covid everything has been done over the phone and delayed so last apt was March and next apt is August at the minute but that's been moved three times already. I'm trying to remain positive x

@HopeForRainbowbaby good to hear you are feeling more relaxed and have got positives from opks. Enjoy DTD! I am not going to track this new cycle, just DTD every few days and keep an eye on EWCM. See if that gets me anywhere. X
@Mommybear05 I started AF yesterday CD42! But it hasn’t really come to anything, just light pink when I wipe. Have done 5 tests over the last couple of weeks and were all negative. X
@SmileyT yes I am so much more aware now too, before I would think I was just being friendly asking if someone was going to have another baby but now I would never ask as just don’t know what people have been through. X

Thanks @Tink20058 xx

And I’ll definitely keep you updated tomorrow @VP91x. Sorry I’ve been a little distracted this weekend. I fully intend to get back to being better at following the thread from tomorrow 🥰 xxx

@HE88 no bfp yet I’m afraid! And got a feeling my body is all over the place even four months post mc! How are you? Xx

@Bellabubble so great you can confide in some people in work and yes to hear 2/3 it is unfortunately more common than you think. The girls at my place are lovely as a whole and I love my job but when like me you choose not to tell then people can sometimes put a foot in it. How are you? Where are you in cycle now? X

@VP91x I'm taking the pregnacare vitamins and always track my periods so we shall see how it goes

@SmileyT alas no bfp for me yet! But I promise I’ll
Let you know if it happens and also give a little warning before taking time out 🙈
Cd 23. Ah that’s the part where you are just waiting! I hate the wait! Are you finding it any easier as the months go by? I think I would be ok if it weren’t for this spotting all the time! Good you have a ‘feeling’ about August though. Thank would make a May baby?? But you might get an April one yet! Xxx

@chloedancer897 thanks lovely, I’m so rubbish with all these abbreviated words 😂😂 feeling old

@MichT4 I haven’t really had any 😕 I got little bumps on my nipples at around 5dpo and they have just got slightly larger but haven’t had morning sickness or anything my boobs got slighter tender/larger at around 8 weeks but that eased off after couple of days xx

Hi everyone, we had a mmc in March at 11weeks and decided with the pandemic to stop trying for a few months as things seem to be calming down we have decided to get trying again, I'm nervous, excited, scared, every emotion going

Hahaha @VP91x me too 😂🤣 I don't even know what CD I'm on anymore. I've been dtd since I saw the peak on CB, but haven't seen a temp rise yet. I'm hoping it happens tomorrow, but we'll see. Either way I'll wait another two weeks before I take the plunge and take the Provera.

@DBTJ yup, you're right 😊 a new month of opportunity💕

@Rainbowhope11 don't worry yourself it should actually be a fresh new month thread so look at it as July part 1. Good things to come

@Girlmum83 congrats hopefully with time you can both come together and talk things through. As a man I'm sure he is trying to remain strong for you but the truth is they hurt deeply and struggle with emotions

@chloedancer897 😂😂
I would do it, and not sure I’ll hold out for a week, but I’m hoping something will make me feel more positive soon and I won’t feel the need as much. I just hope we get there. What a rollercoaster xx

@MichT4 yes I know what you mean. Sorry, I've just become so obsessed wit POAS that I think it's the answer to everything!

@Lollol86 yes it's first response 😊

@chloedancer897 I haven’t taken one today and I won’t do because even if I see the positive, i know the hcg would still be there anyway. I think I will wait until Friday/Saturday and take one, unless it gets loads worse then I guess I’ll know.
I guess I could do a weeks one and see if the weeks progress like @tink20058 had. Just worried it’ll give me false hope. So tricky.

@Tink20058 that’s really interesting, thank you for sharing that. I hope this is the same for me. What happened with any symptoms you had? Were they strong throughout? xx

Ladies what’s FRER? I’m assuming first response?

@MichT4 have you tried taking another test? I know it might be stressful and totally understand if it's too much for you but maybe even seeing a positive test will put your mind at rest for another day? Sometimes you can get breakthrough bleeding when your period is due, your body sheds a little of the lining it doesn't need. That's why many women think they've had a period but they're actually pregnant x

@MichT4 yes it was after my positive pregnancy test it was like a really light period then turned brownish and stopped I’m sure it lasted around 48 hours I thought I had miscarried again I was just told to take another pregnancy test the following week by my epu So did clear blue digitals and the weeks increased but happened again the following month I had private scan and was 6 weeks and she could see a small area of bruising and said it could be period type bleed but that was just brown like old blood, then had the same yesterday was just in the morning when I wiped was a bit brown but I only had my 12 week scan the night before so didn’t panic as much, I bled all the way through with my eldest son he is nearly 15 now 😱 xxx

@MichT4 have you tried taking another test?
