TTC after MC - August 2020 (Thread 11)

@MichT4 good luck for today and hoping you get the answers you need. You are an inspiration. You are not being negative, you are protecting yourself and that's totally understandable.

@Northernsoul90 looks like a great chart. I had a massive temp rise today so dunno what that means! I'm so interested in the data Ava is giving me. It tells me how much sleep I'm getting and how much is deep sleep. Turns out I don't sleep very much!lol

@Pugprincess good luck for tomorrow. I have everything crossed for you xo

@Northernsoul90 thanks for the commandments, I have just saved them xx

@Pugprincess what times your scan tomorrow? Xx

@MichT4 I totally understand what you mean, I think it's hard for us to get too attached because of our pasts. We put a guard up as we think we are protecting ourselves but in reality if the worse was to happen we would still be heartbroken.

So ladies I'm currently at soft play, first time in over 6 months. The girls are buzzing. A little bit of normality for them.
Hope you are all ok xx

@Northernsoul90 That brought a lump to my throat, it's so hard to be sensible and kind to yourself when it hurts so much. Thank you for posting it x

@Northernsoul90 I think it's a good decision. I put Ava on the day after I came back - temps high and I had a real glimmer of hope. Yesterday they dropped off and then I panic! It's silly. I put it on last night and then thought better of it. It's a strength to know what works for you 🥰

Thank you @Rebecca1992 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

For anxious mummy's to be, somebody on the thread posted these commandments (or something really similar) a few threads back. I can't find it now but have just googled and it came up. 🌈✨

Wow I've a lot to catch up on for 2 days!
@MichT4 Sending you lots of luck today, I hope it's all good news ❤

@MichT4 That's what I was thinking maybe temp for another day or two and then leave it until next cycle (which hopefully won't arrive 🙏🏼) otherwise I'm just going to worry and stress every time I get a dip! Xx

@Northernsoul90 I'd say if it stresses you, once you've confirmed ovulation, stop doing it. Sometimes every dip is a worry, or something to google, and it varies so much. I didn't wear Ava last night, I don't need to know at this stage. I think it's just knowing what is best for you and not being afraid to ditch the thermometer for a few days if you need to. I'm an over thinker and a worrier so I have to be mindful of when it crosses over from being a benefit to me xx

Thank you @Runnergirl1 and @Firevie

You are all very kind to me. I wouldn't admire it too much, it's down to a total lack of acknowledgment that this is even happening which I'm actually pretty upset with myself about. I just can't seem to attach myself to it because I've convinced myself. So then I'm worried I've been so negative it's even more inevitable. I haven't tried to be negative, it's just before the scan I was sure that's what had happened, so now I can't shift my mindset too easily.
I am trying to have positive thoughts too, keep thinking that nothing suggests I'm not pregnant yet in reality, and I try to imagine the words of them telling me it's all ok. I want to think positive and it will be positive. Just really struggling as I just have a real guard up now.

Ok, so fingers crossed for a few more days of low OPKs in that case 🤣

@VP91x Thanks, first time temping this month so it's been interesting to see. I hope you get your peak 🤞🏼 have you been spotting again this cycle? xx

@Pugprincess So exciting about your scan 💕I do get your nerves, I would be really anxious as well. Its understandable after what we have been through. I'm sure everything will be fine though, there's no reason to think otherwise. I can't remember who posted a few threads back a really nice photo of commandments for new pregnancies after miscarriage I'll try and find it. Do you meditate? I have anxiety and used to have panic attacks quite a lot and I am enjoying meditating to calm my nerves, I use an app called Balance - could be worth a try? Sending hugs 💖 xx

@MichT4 Thanks lovely, it is yeah I'm 3dpo today. I've only temped properly for the first time this month and it's been interesting - I just hope it doesn't become something else to worry over that's the only thing. Xx

@MichT4 I admire how you’re approaching all of this! We are with you in all of this so you know you can def count on us!

I’d like my peak to def be after Tuesday as that is when I will be reunited with OH lol but let’s see. I will OPKS tmr again but leave today. This POAS stresses me out haha xxx

@MichT4. Good luck today. Everything crossed for you x

@Rainbowhope11 your doctor sounds fabulous! Wishing you all the best for this next cycle!

Sorry if I've got this wrong, but did you say you were in Texas? If so, please stay safe with the hurricane. Sending love xx

Thank you @HappyVibes, a lovely thing to say. I am trying to be positive, and be positive whatever the outcome. Let's see if that changes later on 😂
Whatever happens, it'll be ok, and if I'm not incredibly lucky today, I know I'll be well looked after to try and get my rainbow.

How are you today?

@Firevie thank you ☺️. I wouldn't count on being a week away. That peak could creep up on you at any time! xx

@MichT4 good luck with your blood test today!
@Pugprincess I’m sure your scan tmr will be just fine 💖
@Northernsoul90*@MrsK21@chloedancer897 @HappyVibes* yay to you all being in your TWW! I’m sensing many BFPs this month 💓💓💓
My temps being a bit sentimental I think, my OPKS went slightly up yesterday to 0.37 so slow and steady wins the race it seems haha. Attaching pic of my chart. I think I’m at least a week away before I get my peak.

@MichT4 sending you all the positive and happy vibes this morning lovely. You’ve been so so strong through everything so far, you’ve been an inspiration! Girl you got this. 💓 💫

@Lollol86 @VP91x @Northernsoul90 @Pugprincess thank you! I might drive in to work after, distract myself a little!

@Pugprincess excited for your scan tomorrow! I'm sure everything is just lovely in there

@Northernsoul90 looks like a good chart to me, I'd say it's clear you ovulated. Always nice being a few days in to the TWW

@VP91x dare I say I'm excited for you to start your OPKs! I think this is an ovulation month for you.

Hope everyone is good this morning, sun is shining at least xx

Morning everyone ❤️

@MichT4 good luck with your blood test today, praying it’s risen 🙏🏻

Only 25 hours until my first scan, so scary. Been ok though. Symptoms are going ok and even though I’m working I spend most the day sat down doing easy jobs. Today I think I’m roughly 6+4 which is when the last baby stopped growing. Been an anxious week. Had to fight off a few panic attacks because of it. Also I’m just feeling so aware that a lot seem to run into problems around week 6. Xx

@MichT4 Good luck today 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@Rainbowhope11 Great news on the egg reserve 🥳 xx

@VP91x It did go up again today, still not over pre ovu really - not sure if some of those temps were quite high due to the heat wave. Yes I normally take it between 6.15 and 6.30. No coverline has been detected yet but I'm pretty sure it looks like I ovulated? How are you? Xx

@VP91x yes, that is the plan. The specialist said that I need to call as soon as I'm on CD1 after taking the prometrium. Then they will schedule a baseline ultrasound of my ovaries and if everything looks good then he will prescribe me the Clomid. And then I come back after the course of Clomid to make sure that my eggs are maturing, and then he will give me an Hcg trigger shot to make sure that an egg is actually released.

On a happy note, my AMH test came back high. So looks like my egg reserve is looking good 🎉

@MichT4 I'm good thank you!! Haha take the itchy pits... it's a good a symptom as any 😂 xx

@chloedancer897 @MrsK21 @HappyVibes
Yay we can keep each other going during the tww and stop each other early testing! 🤞🏼 I'm not too bad for early testing (usually) but symptom spotting is a killer for me xx
