TTC after MC - Aug/Sept 2020 (Thread 12)

@KatiePlus3 always fun to symptom spot. I noticed mine was clumpy and creamy last month when I didn’t conceive so perhaps watery is a good sign? I’m heading over to new thread x

Does anyone know what CM would be like 4 days before AF if you had conceived, yes I am symptom spotting lol! Mines been different this morning, I've woken up and (sorry for TMI) is so watery I felt it in my pj bottoms :/ I've never had that before. Maybe I'm looking too much in to it because other than that I have no symptoms of pregnancy apart from feeling a little tiny bit crampy xx

@RichmondLady1981 I totally understand. I am keeping myself busy with house stuff and other projects just so I don't spend too much time stressing about it.
Fingers crossed our BFP comes soon xx

@Furbsies I think I we might be at a similar stage in our cycles. I totally agree, I can’t face testing. I need a definite yes or no. last cycle I questioned my BFN which was so annoying. There’s no questioning AF so like you id rather take that option.

@Dizzy201 yeaaaahhh 😍

We've told My best friend and my dad and step mum. My OH wanted me to have more support and more outlets this time around.

Was a bit emotional telling my parents just because it's not how it should be, but I feel like this is for the best so I have more people
To lean on this time. I love my OH to death but he's not the most emotional of people so it's gonna be nice to have that network so early.

@Bl0ndi3 so exciting 😍🤞🤞

@Dizzy201 it's not been 2 weeks since I ovulated yet haha so I don't think I will I might use it on Wednesday/Thursday I'll be 15/16dpo then x

Ahhh yeah we're really close together 🥰🥰

@Bl0ndi3 think im around the 22nd so not much between us you should get that 2 to 3 weeks now haha 😍

@SweetpeaOrMarigold biggest congratulations !!! enjoy this special time and healthy and smooth 9 months 😍❤️

Welcome @Wishingfornumber2and3

Huge congrats @SweetpeaOrMarigold, I think I recognise your name from when I was lurking back in January onwards.

@SweetpeaOrMarigold congratulations and best wishes for a happy healthy 9 months 💕🌈

@Northernsoul90 that sounds like a really sensible idea, hopefully less pressured and less all consuming.
I've been a bit quieter in the week too, it's hard keeping up with it all! It's made me feel less pressured too x

@MrsK21 @HappyVibes I think I'm going to find it hard not doing the opks but my cycle seems to be back to normal so I'm just gonna give it a go this month and see how I feel (hopefully I will feel less pressured). Glow has predicted ovulation for cd19 which is when I usually do so I wouldn't have started doing opks for another week yet. @HappyVibes I'm also going to do the same and try to dtd throughout the cycle not just so heavily focused on fw alone. Fingers crossed this month both of you! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@MinnieMouse4 Love the pic you posted! Thanks lovely I will still be commenting and trying to keep up but I was on here loads previously 🤣 so I'm hoping a less ttc focused month will work in our favour! Xx

@MichT4 So pleased for you that AF has arrived ! Onwards and upwards now 🥰. Xx

@MichT4 @Bellabubble Yeah I agree, I just feel like all I think about sometimes is work and ttc and it's not healthy. I need to just try and enjoy dtd again and not put so much pressure on us both with all the tracking I think. I will probably still be a little more active on here at the weekend but quieter during the week when I'm at work xx

@Wishingfornumber2and3 Welcome, I'm so sorry for your loss 💕 wishing you lots of luck in ttc xx

@SweetpeaOrMarigold Congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy xx

@susiebluebell i know it can feel so lonely during these times. But hopefully we can all stay positive with the energy of the feel good stories here.

Right after my post I got first sign of AF with a bit of red so secretly wishing its just spotting and that it's not AF.

@Wishingfornumber2and3 Hello and welcome, yes our MCs were very close, you on 7th and me on 13th. It's comforting to think back and know that I wasn't the only one in the whole world it was happening to, which is what it felt like. Hugs and strength.

@SweetpeaOrMarigold Hello again, big fat CONGRATULATIONS on the bfp! Wishing you a safe and peaceful pregnancy x

Hi all don't know if anyone remembers me from mc in Jan, March and June. I've sulked for a few months off the board but just got a BFP so am back and seeing who is still around.
Fingers crossed for you all xx

Thank you so much @RichmondLady1981 I am just past the ovulation stage and currently waiting the long dreaded wait. Have decided as this is the first month I'm not going to test and I'm just going to wait until I'm late to actually test.

Hello All. Been reading and would like to join you ladies. Your stories keep me going when I get into a dark place.

Firstly thanks to @VP91x who keeps this going

My story. Bleeding started in Aug 7th at 9weeks and 3 days. Had seen heartbeat at 7 weeks. Had surgical management August 13th. DtD exactly 2 weeks after management and ovulated 2 days later based on feeling the pain (i dont track with OPK). Now 4 weeks post surgical and 5 weeks post start of bleed and waiting for either AF or BFP.was hard goign thru the scans and procedure with Covid as my husband wasn't allowed in. Now residing the urge to test and stop symptom spotting till my 6 week check up post D &C which is 2 weeks away.

@bl0ndi3 I am so invested in your story now.
@Peblet @HPenthusiast @susiebluebell it seems our dates were very close.

Sending all the luck and positive vibes to everyone.

That’s so lovely @Bl0ndi3 Thank you so much for sharing. That’s definitely a good sign for sure re the darker line. & it doesn’t sound like there’s any signs as to why it would be chemical so you keep strong and positive girl. This is your journey and you deserve to be excited and happy. You’ve got a little Baba in the making, so magical. Xxx

@HappyVibes of course...

Me and OH started trying November 2019. I'm (now) 30 and he's 35 and he has a DS from a previous relationship and therefore I'm fairly certain this is going to be our only child together.

Got BFP 16 July 2020 but unfortunately bleeding started in 4 August at around 7 weeks.

Soon as bleeding stopped and had negative test we started TTC again, ovulated 4 weeks from bleeding (CD29) we had DTD CD28 and CD26 those are the only days I think matter but we DTD other times too. Wasn't expecting it at all so soon!

I'd been acting pregnant in that I've not been having any caffeine at all etc and been taking my vitamins every day (pregnancy and conception multi vitamin and omega 3) and also did lots of fertility yoga.

It's still early for me and I'm just hoping it's not gonna be a chemical so will see how I get on but I'm feeling a bit more hopeful as line on IC today was darker which I think is a good sign and I will do another FRER tomorrow!

@Dizzy201 be happy and excited! I'm weighing up whether or not to book an early scan too. I think I'll see how I feel when I get to six weeks. I'll try and hang on for as long as I can.

I'm estimating 25th May 2021 I'll be due just in time for summer haha

Yay to AF @MichT4 big celebratory moment woohoo! Yes to the relaxed approach. It’s get so much better for us this month already. So glad we’ve managed to do it. Saying that now though before the CB testing starts so probably will have to work hard to keep the relaxation up.

@Bl0ndi3 & @Dizzy201 please may you lovely ladies share your journeys with us all, to keep up the positive and hopefulness with everyone? 💓💓💓

@RichmondLady1981 - I really hope so feeling very emotional about it all atm x

Hi @Furbsies. Glad to see you’re recovered and back in the game. Hope you’re ok. What stage are you at in your cycle?

@MichT4 I’ve only been on here a few weeks and I’m finding it addictive too! I often read as I like to see peoples journeys but sometimes it takes over. I think that’s a sensible approach.

Congratulations @Dizzy201. That looks very promising. How exciting for you 😀 x

@Runnergirl1 I’ve read so many posts that people get BFN on DPO 9 and then positives around 10/11 albeit very faint! You’re definitely not out!
