TTC after MC - July 2020 (Thread 6)

HEEYYYYY LADIES!!!! My goodness do these threads go fast!!! I've been watching silently as I've been sick as a dog! Congrats to all the BFPs since I was last on here! FX for the rest of you 💕💕

@Pugprincess and anyone going through recent MC/ waiting for bleeding to stop.. I know this maybe isn't common but I ovulated just a couple of days after bleeding stopped post MC. Like literally 14/15 days after my MC. I had been 9.5weeks along and I MC naturally.. I know each situation is different. but just wanted to say it is definitely worthwhile checking OPKs early because if i hadnt done a chance one I would have missed it. I was so fortunate to catch it, I just got high readings never a peak but dtd a lot anyway around that time and got pregnant again straight away. It's bittersweet because my gestation is also the exact number of weeks since I lost our last baby.. as you count the first day of bleeding as CD1. Hope all those who have recently joined and are going through it now find as much help in this group as I did.💓

@Bellabubble yip I'm in Scotland, schools are back middle of August however, I'm a supply teacher so no school to go to as of yet. This probably hasn't helped with my stress levels although I've been trying not to worry about it but that's easier said than done. Xx

@he88 I was thinking maybe work as a distraction might help the ttc journey..I’m hoping the summer hols are going to reduce some stress levels..but on the flip side, the tww’s are going to drag!! xx

@VP91x ahh sorry - I missed that part - it was a pretty hot day yesterday..it’s hard to drink (but not too much) hold pee (but not so much you get a uti!) but the soy isoflavones seem to have worked well!! xx

@HE88 sorry to hear af is on her way :( Are you back to school soon? (Am I right in thinking you are baed in Scotland?)

@2020wish fingers crossed you get a bfp this month 😊 xx

@MichT4 I don't wanna go anywhere if I get a BFP this is the best MN group ever!!

@chloedancer897 those symptoms sound very much like my pre pregnancy ones last time!! Good luck!!

@VP91x just keep DTD until temp rises, doing it gets you pregnancy not proving it with a stick 😊 I'm feeling super positive about you this month!!

@2020wish I hope you get a lovely BFP for your birthday!

@DBTJ when I've raised light periods with doctors, and nurses doing my scans they never seem concerned at all! So fingers crossed it's not an issue and I've just been unlucky so far.

@HE88 I’m doing better. Taking a step back this month has really helped. I came away from here for a few days and just lurked, picked up another hobbie to get myself away from my phone. And didn’t temp or be obsessive over opks. Only tested 3 days when I felt pain. So I’m hoping it’s done the trick

@2020wish thank you I would love it not to be af. Hope you are doing ok? Xx

@fafi have you looked into why your periods are light and your lining or is this a recent discovery

@HE88 sorry you are spotting. Fingers crossed it’s not AF coming

@MichT4 don’t be feeling like you will be alone. Most of us will stay here. I know if I get a BFP I won’t be joining a pregnancy group for a long time so I’ll be here!

@VP91x oh there is nothing worse when people are staying over and they talk all night and you just want to relax and watch tv! I feel you lol I wouldn’t worry about the cheapies either as you got ur peak on the CB.

I’m back to work this weekend. Looking forward to some normality

Also I’ve just realised that AF is due 2 days before my birthday! How lovely would it be to get my sticky BFP for my birthday! And that would also mean baby would be due around my daughters birthday. Ahh I’m hoping this is a good omen and will be the case!

@SmileyT today was fine thank you. I felt like I achieved something getting those tests arranged. I am back in the office tomorrow so another day of distraction. Just watching more news girl before bed x

@VP91x definitely can't see the progression the same way you normally can with femometer ones 🤔 I'd just look out for the temp rise and you've had your peak on CB so you know it's increased 👌🏾

@MichT4 yep just keeping busy. Hopefully you don't need those tests but might help you relax knowing you have them in your back pocket. How was your day? x

@Bellabubble thank you sorry to hear you are spotting too. Unfortunately I spotted every cycle before Mc so this is normal for me 🙄. Xx

I feel like I should apologise to everyone - I spend my eve catching up on the thread then always reply in a long massive chat - I should break it up more to make it easier on the eyes lol!!

@Lynz2020 my periods have definitely changed post mc - I too am 36!! We fell pg first try this Jan, and I had a mmc at the end of feb. I haven’t been lucky yet on my cycles that have followed, but now every period starts woth spotting! It vaires from 3-4 days, but it starts around the time you could get implatation bleeding, and I also get sooo many symptoms I had when pregnant, from twinges to lightheadedness - crazy! I’m being fairly relaxed at the mo, but if nothing happens over the summer hols when I should be less stressed, I might try and get the ball rolling woth the GP!

@Lollol86 smep was stressful the time I tried to follow it - we now start on cd11 as I know I ovulate day 14 or 15 (luckily pretty consistent there!)

@HE88 ahh sorry to hear about the spotting - I’m spotting too! Started yesterday - so I think af will be here in about 48hrs, although I’m due fri-sun depending on cycle length! I never spotted before mc, but now I don’t get my hopes up thinking it’s ib!

@VP91x what cd are you again? Nice to see the lines already a bit darker!! The easy@home tests are pretty good aren’t they!

@VP91x been looking closely and maybe I have no logic because they are all very similar, but I reckon if top to bottom is morning to later, I’d say you missed it yesterday 🤔

@Pugprincess under the message box there is a little paper clip, you can add them there

Random question but how are you guys adding photos to your messages, I’m on a phone so maybe that’s why I can’t see an option to add photo.

@VP91x what order were those taken?

@VP91x I have never really got on with the cheap ones so I wouldn’t be concerned. I used the cheap ones to confirm it was negative ovulation. As soon as I got a second line on cheap ones even faint I’d try the clear blue digital (I don’t like to waste those as they cost a fortune!) I remember having times where the cheap ones gave me a second line for days and clear blue said no. Hope that helps x
