TTC after MC - August 2020 (Thread 11)

@Rainbowhope11 that’s great that you’ve had more insight & got the advice, with so much support. That sounds amazing & so very hopeful.
How are you feeling now after the appointment?

Xx

Hi ladies! Hope you are all well. I've been really quiet on here for the past couple weeks as I've been trying to focus on work and other things while waiting for my appointment with the fertility specialist.

Quick update: I had my fertility appointment today. The doctor was really lovely and said that he thinks that I just have an issue with ovulation. So the plan is for me to take prometrium to bring on a period, then go in for an ultrasound of my ovaries, take a course of Clomid to kickstart ovulation and then have a trigger shot to make sure that an egg is released. I also did an AMH test to measure the number of eggs etc. So that's the plan for now, I'm hoping it works!

How are all you lovely ladies doing?

@Firevie That's good that you are distracted, it can get intense can't it at times! Hopefully you will see a pattern soon 😊 xx

@MrsK21Yes it's difficult remembering to do it isn't it! It's the first month I've done properly and actually stuck to the same time every day. I think you can get a slow rise? I'm no expert though we have @VP91x for that 😉

So sorry about the situation you are in, I would just do what you feel comfortable with. I don't know if I could have gone to my sisters baby shower - luckily she didn't want one! I think I would have gone in the end but it would have all felt a bit much. Your cousin will be understanding about the situation I should think? And maybe you just see her another time to do any gift exchanging? Xx

@happyvibes yeah that's what I've been doing 2 in morning and 2 in evening. Xx

Blooming heck I’ve been away this weekend and forgot to take my calc fluor with me. So I missed the first two days post static. Anyhow, I’m reunited with them now so got them in my system woohoo! So is it x2 morning & x2 evening? Xxx

Thank you ladies. It was a lot nicer than I was expecting. Maybe a weeks worth might be all I’ll get just so expensive. I just think after mc it might do me some good to go again x

@Northernsoul90 and @VP91x thanks ladies I definitely feel much better about having a plan in place 😊. Xx

@Northernsoul90 I'm not sure about the cover line either. My chart is a bit all over the place because beginning of the cycle we had that heatwave so temps are really high, and the last few days after static smiley I've been really crap with taking my temp properly. Like fallen back asleep with my thermometer in my mouth and mouth breathing and getting really funny numbers 🤣 Redid them when I woke up again but I think I've messed it up. I seem to be getting a real slow rise as well, hope it shoots up tonight.

I've just had my cousins OH call me up for a surprise baby shower they're organising for my cousin, I just don't think I can handle going! It's not till second week of Sept but god I feel like I got slapped in the face! And I know there will be loads of people asking me about my TTC situation.
I've not given them a response yet but tempted to say I've already got plans that day and give it a miss. Just feel overwhelming sadness and thinking that should've been me in a few more weeks time 😞

Hey 👋🏻 I’m just coming towards the end of lunch break but wanted to pop on and catch up 🙂 thanks for all the good lucks regarding first day back 🙂

@MichT4 great to hear the docs have been supportive 🙂 hope it goes well tomorrow 🤞🏻

@Runnergirl1 yes I have one small glass a day, just with my breakfast and get about 3 glasses from one bottle also.

@BEESY90 that’s awful, don’t do anything you don’t want to do. You have come so far already 👌🏻 ❤️

@Lollol86 yay for your symptoms. I was quite bad yesterday, felt sick before every main meal and had terrible wind all day. Better today but I was up early for work so ate earlier and being conscious to eat little and often to not let myself get too hungry.

Have a good afternoon all will catch back up when I get home xx

@Northernsoul90 it is my second cycle I suppose after I’ve had the ERPC. I had my first af post ERPC on 13th August. And now on cd13. So just trying to identify a pattern now. Can’t believe actually that it’s cd13 already / guess being away with family and friends helped keep me distracted from counting towards the next day xxx

@Runnergirl1 *one glass

@Runnergirl1 I tried it last cycle and just drank on glass per day on the advice of the other ladies 😊. A glass being about 200ml, a bottle lasted me 3 days I think. I know it's so expensive 😱 I said I wasn't going to get it this time because of that but then ended up buying 3 bottles with my shopping 🤣 xx

@Firevie Yes hopefully not 🤞🏼 is this your first cycle post mc? If you do have an average cycle length then roughly 2 weeks before start of af is ovulation time but it is harder to track if cycles are irregular. Keep going with the opks and you should see peak over the next few days! ✨ xx

Ladies can anyone help I’ve just been out and bought some pom juice (can’t believe the price for the size, but anyway). When do I take it and how much do you take. Thought I would give it ago as I know a few people on here drink it x

Thanks ladies @VP91x @Northernsoul90 We got our static Saturday. So think we might add one in today just for good luck after your information (thank you). Xxx

@Northernsoul90 thank you that is insightful. My cycles have been longer which is why I think premom has put my FW starting cd33 let’s see I guess...will keep testing every day anyway to get a clearer picture. I don’t think it will be all that long xxx

@Firevie I think it mainly depends on cycle length and what is average for you - before mc and after my hormones had settled once coming off the pill my cycles would be 31/32 days long and I would get static on cd19/20. As this is my first cycle post mc I started doing opks earlier in case anything had changed but have ended up ovulating the same time as usual - cd19 so I got 8 flashies this time as I started them earlier than I usually would xx

@Northernsoul90 thank you lovely! Just out of curiosity - when do most people ovulate? In terms of cycle days. Or differently put what’s the longest it has taken to get your static smiley/ovulate?! Xxx

@HappyVibes If you dtd day of static and a couple of days after maybe to keep covered I think that's what most ladies do xx

@MichT4 Haha I thought @VP91x would have the knowledge 😂 thank you both! Okay that's good hopefully I will see a rise tomorrow then 🤞🏼 we dtd twice yesterday and will make sure to do it today and tomorrow just to keep covered! 😂. On the apps do they put a cover line in once they have detected ovulation? Xx

@HE88 That's good about the fertility clinic and I bet it's made you feel better knowing that you have a plan in place! Xx

@Firevie Fingers crossed you get your surge soon 🤞🏼 xx

@HappyVibes Yes I think after LH surge ovulation can happen anywhere between 12 and 36 hours later but obviously everyone is different. 24 hours seems to be about average. Previously I always thought I ovulated on the day of static as I would get ovulation pains but I didn't really feel anything this time and my temps and app both suggest that today will actually be ovulation for me (day after static). I haven't temped before so will be interesting to see xx

@VP91x hope you’re feeling good today lovely especially with the sun shining!

I just saw your comment re the static & I am completely shocked at my lack of knowledge re this ha. So how long after static would you suggest DTD? Xxx

Update on my opks ladies - 0.23 today it was 0.2 yesterday so still low but guess is in line with what you ladies have been saying. Will do another test at 6pm today xxx

Morning ladies hope you are all well.

I'm just off the phone to my consultant at the fertility clinic. She is going to get me booked in for a scan just to check what's going on in there and to make sure the endometrioma hasn't came back.
She is also putting me on the waiting list for IUI she said with the whole covid situation she isn't sure how long the wait will be but to keep trying for the time being. Good thing is if it doesn't happen naturally I've got this in the pipeline.

@VP91x no my daughter has an eye check up. I have my first scan on the 5th of September xx
