TTC after MC - August 2020 (Thread 9)

@Firevie I done the one you suggested. I didn't feel worn out tired, I think it just really relaxed me does that make sense? Xx

@firevie thank you 🥰 all the best for you x

@Lollol86 well done for your first yoga session!! Which one did you do? No issues with feeling tired - if you’ve never done it before your body will need to get used to it but it will def help! Well done again! Keep going xx

Thanks @fafi - this looks very encouraging! Wishing you all the best and a healthy pregnancy! Xx

@Firevie I just done my first yoga session, hopefully I will continue. It made me feel really tired 😂😂 is that normal xx

@Firevie this is my most recent chart and I'm now 6+4 weeks pregnant. So don't worry about dips. It can't go up forever and I've never seen a flat line. I stopped temping at the point it ends as it was starting to drive me mad and just wanted to see if AF arrived. Of course it didn't! Try not to worry too much x

@MichT4 thank you 😊 very educational all of this! I wish they taught us at school haha! I’ve just done my Bettina Rae yoga for this morning, having my usual fresh lemon ginger with boiled water and writing into my gratitude journal to set up the day in the right tone! Hopefully my work stuff will also get sorted today. Hope you all have a great day xx

@Firevie 😂 hi to your mum!
@VP91x knows more about this but was saying the other day about an oestrogen surge which can cause a dip post ovulation. It's only one day so try not to worry, I'm sure they'll rise tomorrow. They will fluctuate in the upper range so I'm sure it's ok, although I'm exactly the same and I worry about dips and troughs. And it's still above cover anyway, you can dip below cover and still be fine - like @SmileyT ☺️ xx

Sorry I’ve just seen you can see my mums what’s app too lol

@MichT4 @VP91x please see pics of my chart since I’ve been taking BBT

@VP91x good luck for today, will you be working full or part time? Xx

@VP91x I'm fine thanks, just got to the office and I'm tired and hungry (I've done it again @Jazper 😫 - no breakfast with me!). Only 7 working days until my holiday and I need it! Did you do an OPK last night? I can't remember if you said.
Is 9.30 just today or every day? When do you finish?

@Firevie it could just be a fluctuation, don't worry. Like @VP91x said, attach your chart so we can see, but lots have had dips below cover xx

Morning ladies! My BBT has gone down again to pre ovulation levels 😢 does that mean what I think it does?

Good luck with your first day @VP91x

Hope everyone is ok this morning? xx

@SmileyT thanks, been getting mild cramps today, if they get really strong then I will know I’m starting but while they are this mild then it doesn’t mean too much. The month I got preg though I don’t recall much crampy feelings before BFP, but had some after as that’s normal in preg isn’t it. The month I got preg I also don’t recall any discoloured discharge it all stayed white. But then they say every pregnancy is different anyway. Been getting the muscle twitches, pinchy feelings and stabbing. Feel like it’s really teasing me. If AF comes I really need to be strong and not symptom spot next month I think like some of the other ladies on here. X

@SmileyT I’ve been eating bran flakes for breakfast and fruit smoothies as a meal, thing is I’m pretty regular .. can I take gaviscon liquid instead of rennies? I plan to ask the midwife on Thursday about exercise and then picking something up once I know the scan is all good

@Jazper I think if it's private it might be fertility tests but I'd ask for hormones and go from there.

@SmileyT very impressed. My OH doesn't watch but then asks me loads of questions 🙄. Enjoy! And what have you ordered? 😋 xx

@Jazper I go through phases. Sometimes I don't think about things so much but other times I convince myself there's something major wrong and if I don't go and get reassurance, I can't stop worrying. This was one of those, so I feel better now.

So they are hormone blood tests. One CD1-7 ish to check FSH and LH levels. Then one at cd21, or later if long cycles like me, to check progesterone and therefore if you've ovulated. I think if you say you want hormone blood tests they should know what you mean 🤞🏼 xx

@Lollol86 only just ordered but I'm happy I have ☺️

@VP91x ahh glad that Bella had fun, such a nice day before you return to work tomorrow, you'll sleep well tonight x

@Pugprincess fingers crossed it's not AF 🤞

@2020wish I know it probably sounds daft, but are you using Rennie? they are bloody fantastic and really help with the bloat and apparently eating high fibre food before bed can really help move things along. I also found moving my body a bit today with a 15min yoga sesh has helped x

@MichT4 I paused it to wait for DP to get home from work so he could get into it aswell but I'm enjoying it, although feel like I need to concentrate a bit as it's first episode x

@MichT4
You remind me of me, I suffer awful health anxiety although it's lessened in recent months. You better to get things looked at though if you are concerned.
No, it wasn't rambly or unhelpful, much the opposite. The diplomatic part of my brain is saying that it's definitely just a case of giving my body more time, but the anxiety stricken part is needing more reassurance.
So, if I ask for tests, be it private or through my GP, I need to know what I'm talking about. I've heard of the progesterone one, and that tells you if you've ovulated I believe? What's the one before that, that you had??

@Pugprincess thank you, yea my logical brain knows I can scud myself by buying things but at the same time it’s a fear. Awk I’m sure that was a bittersweet feeling but at least she’s positive that it will happen for u and thy cardigan will be on ur rainbow baby one day! Oh I don’t feel so bad then that u had a wee bump forming also around this stage. I think after I have the scan and if everything is ok I’ll own it lol

@2020wish maybe try a body butter if you have one at home? That should help xx
