TTC after MC - July/August 2020 (Thread 8)

@calimommy omg yes!!! Like, exactly how will this baby be created if we relax? 🤣 that's one of the most stupidest pieces of advice ever😂 oh dear, that must be really tricky to do with the kids hanging around! I can't imagine!

Ladies, I just got my peak on clearblue, but somehow I can never get a peak on Femometer strips 😭 the middle one is a pregmate opk strip, do you ladies reckon that it's a peak on the pregmate?

@Rainbowhope11 my obstetrician told me to use OPK, as well as an app and DTD every two days. I think one of the MOST unhelpful things people, including Drs, can suggest is to "relax" because "it will happen" or similar tripe. Well actually it won't happen unless we hit the right time so better figure that out eh? Also I have children already and my husband is home 24/7 wfh so DTD every two days feels impossible sometimes 😂

@MichT4 still really faint only 7% 😭

@Mommybear05 ahhh hopefully not long then xx

@Mommybear05 I'm so sorry that your gp is being so unhelpful. I'm not sure how things work in the UK, but Is it possible to make an appointment with a fertility specialist? I think you know your body best, and if you think that something isn't right, then it probably isn't. I also got told to throw away my OPKs and just have timed intercourse, I nodded and then came home an made an appointment with another doctor. The fact is that this doctor isn't helping to solve the problem at hand and is just basing her recommendations off of what she's seen before in other patients (that everything will be ok🙄) Please don't feel bad to go and seek help elsewhere. I don't see the point in wasting another 3 months not knowing what's going on. Sending you so much love Xx

@Lollol86 it’s normally a few days after I get cm I ovulate I reckon. X

@MichT4 I will do, although the last few days have been no more than about 4% around this time so I'm not expecting much. It's disgusting, I have quite big boobs too and underneath is gross 🤣🤣

@Lollol86 send us a pic please! It's far to hot for shenanigans. Honestly, the sweat between my boobs is unreal 🥵

@MichT4 yea I'm doing cheapies, going to do one at 2.30, ive only not had a drink for 2 hours and it's killing me, can't leave it any longer today. Hubby is on his way home from work but think it will have to wait until later, I'm sweating in every inch of my body so definitely not wanting the D just yet 😂😂

@Mommybear05 I'm so glad you got an appointment. Make sure you have a list of questions.

@Lollol86 I don't know how long to be honest, I assume you'll ovulate in the next few days. Are you doing cheapie OPKs? It might happen for a few days first. Just get busy anyway 😂🍆💦

@Mommybear05 definitely a good idea getting a second opinion. Maybe play on the fact it's really effecting you're mental health, which is true but say you are struggling to see past this at the moment xx

@Mommybear05 ha ha thank you. How long to people generally take to ovulate after that? I'm still getting a blank circle on cb. Hoping it won't be too much longer xx

@Lollol86 wow that’s some impressive cm! Get busy haha 🍆💦

@MichT4 thank you ❤️ I’ve called the surgery back and have an appointment for Tuesday with a second opinion. If another gp says the same thing then I’ll just have to accept I need to wait xx

@MichT4 yes!!! So what do I record that as on Femometer? If I put egg white it says I'm ovulating xx

@Mommybear05 I totally understand. Sending lots of love to you and we are here all day if you need us xx

@Lollol86 I'd say that's egg white for sure. So definitely a sweaty one for you too later 🍆🍆💦💦

Should say as I've never tracked it before x

Warning TMI post. Sorry for the post but I'm trying to understand cervical mucus before I've never tracked this before. I'm feeling a bit wetter down there today and I had a feel for my cervix, if it's what I've been feeling the last few days I can't find it so thinking it may have gone higher up? Anyway this cm came out, is this too creamy to be egg white? I'm really not sure what it should looks like xx

@Rb486 I deffo saw a line and tbh I didn't have to squint or zoom in.

@MichT4 no cheering up today I’m afraid- I was supposed to be going out with my husband, son and mother in law. She just pulled up as I came off the phone to the gp. I just told them to go without me. I am a very private person and don’t want to discuss this in front of her. You know sometimes when you just feel like you can’t face the day? This ttc process is getting to me I just feel like I don’t want to see people, meet friends etc. I just want to shut the world out. The problem is I don’t even know what is normal for me as I was on the pill for so long. Everything I read is telling me to spot at this time is unusual. If I wait three months it will take me to what should have been my due date. I just feel like I can’t take much more. Was ttc so long before mc. The road feels so long. Sorry to be a downer.

@MichT4 good choice although it's still going to be gross later too 🤣🤣 the things we do xx

Just did my OPK for today, and I think it's peak. It's come up as peak on femometer and 0.89, then 1.12 a few mins later when the background was totally white (was still a bit pink in the first one). @Lollol86 funny you should say that, I just asked OH if we should DTD now or later and the look he gave said it all. Apparently we should wait until the sun is lower in the sky 😂😂

@Mommybear05 so sorry your gp wasn't helpful. You have to be so lucky to get one who understands. What do you think you'll do? Hopefully it is just things settling and next month you won't get so much spotting, I do think it can be normal but I know it's frustrating when it isn't for you. I hope you can find something to cheer you up in the sunshine today xx

@Mommybear05 oh it's so frustrating and we want to know what's happening now. Making you wait another 3 months just seems so cruel. You know your own body and know when something isn't quite right. Sending big hugs xx

How is everyone today? It is so hot, we need to dtd today it's going to be a sweaty session 🥵🥵 This morning the tickets for the polar express train in Devon went on sale, I qued in a virtual que for an hour and 40 minutes but managed to get tickets woop, super excited for that xx
