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

@2020wish I only started tracking it the last month when I got pg. I have long cycles so I guess that suggests I might not have ovulated yet, just seems strange to have so many peaks. I'll keep with it I suppose. Yes it would be good if my body kept up with my wishes 😂
How are you? xx

@MichT4 how annoying. :( how was ovulation before ur mc? Was it always mucking about or spot on ? I really feel for those that this is happening too. Our bodies need to get with the memo

@2020wish yeah I had a peak of 100 on sunday but my temperatures are still really low, so it looks like I haven't actually ovulated after that 😢

@VP91x the positive was on Sunday 🙄 so I don't really know what's going on. 3 peaks so far. The good thing is if I get another it should show as I have now had a few in a lower range.

How lovely being in bed with a cuppa. Any plans today?

I love dishoom, the black daal is delicious! Mouth is watering at the thought.

@SmileyT nice dinner and early night sounds perfect. I'm sure the Caribbean will be fine, will hold off on booking but will start considering options. Because we aren't married (yet, hopefully) we were talking about having a honeymoon ish holiday because if we were lucky enough to get pg again and it be successful, then we probably wouldn't be able to have the same honeymoon as we would have before kids. So we want to treat ourselves 🥰

xx

@Mommybear05 happy birthday!

@MichT4 what makes you think you haven’t ovulated again? I think I remember seeing u just a got a peak that hit 100? Is ur temps not showing it? I ask because I only got 80 % for my peak and that was enough for ovulation so could be that you have?

@Mommybear05 Happy Birthday lovely 🥳 sounds like you've got a fab day planned so try and enjoy it and for today at least don't worry about what your future holds and just enjoy what your little family x

@MichT4 haha we had an early Indian, I was still in bed by 9.30 😂 ooh I loved Dom Rep, I think the Caribbean has had much less cases of COVID than us lot but I guess we don't know what will happen next year. I think the NHS say months 4-6 are the easiest to travel but think the first trimester is more about morning sickness and chances of something going wrong and wanting medical care, I don't think there are added risks 🤔

@Mommybear05 Happy birthday! 🥳 xx

Hope everyone is good this morning!!

Aw thanks everyone for the birthday messages. How kind 😊❤️. Just a day of fun and no worries of ttc today! I think I need it! I hope you are all ok xx

@VP91x still low! 😤 and when I say low, a little lower than yesterday. Maybe I won't ovulate this cycle, or it could still be to come? I feel silly to have thought I would have a shorter cycle for my first one, or I'd be lucky enough to have a straightforward month. Goes to show how unsettled our bodies must be cycle 1.
Another day, another OPK I guess 😂

How are you today?

@Mommybear05 happy birthday! Have a lovely day xx

@Mommybear05 happy birthday 🥳

@Mommybear05 Happy Birthday xx

@Mommybear05 happy birthday 🥳

@Mommybear05 Happy Birthday! 🥳

@VP91x I didn't know if there are rules to flying in the first 12 weeks or whatever 🤔

@SmileyT not sure really, somewhere luxurious! We went to Dominican Republic last year and that was beautiful. I guess it just depends what travel is like. I suspect by then we will know what to expect.

Enjoy dinner - where are you off to? xx

@SmileyT nice to hear that life is getting back to normal for you with this covid business being able to go to friends and things. I’m good thanks. Still in longest 2ww ever haha! My emotions are all over the place this time. Birthday tomorrow so we off to safari park and a meal on the night so that will be nice. Cd 23 Ovia is telling me to test in four days. Tiny amount of brown spotting yesterday at seven days post ovulation. How are you feeling? Xxx

@VP91x indeed;) sometimes it feels so long going from period to OV to ttw and so on. How have you been ?

@Runnergirl1 im sorry about your miscarriage. I hope that your post MC hormones stabilize soon. Biggest hugs ❤️

Do we still have anyone testing in July ?

Hey lovelies, just catching up as per after a busy day at work and then going straight out to dinner at a friends.

@MrsK21 I'm so sorry you are getting messed around with your scan, I'd be pissed but sounds like your manager is being supportive and it really does make all the difference and glad you got a follow up booked for next week x

@Runnergirl1 I'm so sorry about all you've been through but yeah take the 1st cycle with a pinch of salt, things may still be a bit off but like somebody else said I ovulated a few days after getting a faint positive on a CB early detection and opks did seem a tad high to start with but didn't get a peak until ovulation so reckon some can still catch it x

@MichT4 where are you planning on going away next year? (Sorry I may have missed this as kinda skimmed some messages 🙈) I was worried about booking a flight but I'm glad I did, a lot of places have cancellation options at the moment so definitely worth not putting your life on hold x

@littletandme glad that you had a nice weekend and I totally feel you with trying around OH working night shifts, mine normally works 4 in a row, which was a nightmare when it fell on fertile week because I'd get in at 5pm and he'd have to leave at 6pm so no way to make it that casual 'when you fancy it sex' 😂

@Mommybear05 how are you feeling today? x

@VP91x yeah that's true. Just not sure if I didn't get pg til December, if it would be too early?
Work was ok, a pretty quiet day.
Your day sounds lovely. It's nice to be out the house sometimes
I hope my temps play tonight too!
How's potty training? Success? xx

@Pugprincess and @Northernsoul90. No I haven’t stopped bleeding yet but hoping to get going as soon as it has. Thank you for the help. I guess everyone is different and all our bodies do things at different times. Mine seemed to want to hang onto my pregnancy longer than it should so might take a while. I guess I’ll just keep checking as I have a few cheap tests left over. So a week after bleeding or not long after hcg 🤞🏻

@Runnergirl1 I'm glad that everything is passed now and you are feeling a little more positive. Sorry that it was so painful and quite prolonged for you 😣. HCG will affect your opks until you get a negative or an extremely faint positive - HCG levels have to be zero or close to zero to be able to ovulate again. I had a mc on the 8th June and got a negative pregnancy test finally last Monday (6 weeks later) I then started going opks and got a peak on Thursday so seem to have ovulated a few days after hcg reaching 0. Hopefully your hcg will go down quickly 🤞🏼🤞🏼. I definitely agree with going with the flow that's what I'm also trying to do as I've not had a period yet either since mc - I'm just hoping I have actually ovulated but will keep dtd regularly just in case I'm not actually in the tww yet xx

@Runnergirl1 has the bleeding stopped now? My hcg was still lurking when I started testing with the clear blue opk and I’ve managed to get a high and then peak for ovulation. I’ve done a preg test recently but il do one tomorrow morning with fmu just to check if it’s stark white yet. You might be surprised cause a week after my bleeding stopped I had loads of ovulation pain so fingers crossed it will get going again quickly. Everyone’s different but there is hope xx
