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

@RichmondLady1981 I'm in my 2WW I'm on cycle day 16 out of a 30 day cycle :) think we are pretty close!? X

@Northernsoul90 @Firevie I know! They are crap really. They have now said they want me to call EPU next week if still no bleed. Just feels endless

@MrsK21 @HappyVibes @chloedancer897 @Northernsoul90 I'm excited for all of you. Really positive signs from everyone! Can't wait for Saturday (or earlier?)

@VP91x that’s great your test was so dark this morning, you must be ovulating this month 😄. Hope your scan confirms you have.
I have quite a lot of cm at the moment but still flashing smilies. I have my drs appointment by phone tomorrow morning. Not sure what they will say but will start by mentioning my last couple of long cycles. Xx

Lots of ewcm for me this morning I have never seen so much so that’s new after mc but haven’t really had much Cm since. Currently cd14 so hopefully DTD tonight haven’t really done it much other than Saturday as all my apps said I won’t be ovulating until next week. OPKs are still crap but I never seem to be able to catch a good opk never really had a positive on them just a cb which I haven’t done this time round although I do have some in the house. What do you thinks best ladies? X

@VP91x we tried a couple of times early on but had bleeding We did try again but he laid like a mannequin saying please be careful and don’t hurt her with a look of horror on his face 🤣🤣🤣 kinda spoilt the mood, plenty of time when little one is here and will have lots to catch up on lol how are you? Xxx

@chloedancer897 Your temps are looking good! Still way above coverline 💖 xx

Hello everyone, just catching up work is proving stressful already and very chaotic but I'm really trying to not get worked up as I know it's not the best when ttc!

VP91x I don't seen any harm in getting another one in if you are up for it 😂 xx

@MichT4 I cannot believe how useless the NHS are being! Have they not offered anything at all in terms of ERPC or anything similar? I'm really sorry you are in this situation 😔 it really is frustrating xx

@MrsK21 9dpo for me today, I'm feeling okay I've had some cramping today but I'm really trying not to look into anything too much! Other than that nothing interesting to report 😂 how are you? The nipple burn sounds positive (that sounds so weird 😂) @HappyVibes Your cramping sounds very similar to mine but this is quite common for me also... who knows 🙏🏼✨
Xx

@VP91x my sleep is up and down so yeah, it probably does correlate somewhat. I suppose this is my first month temping so I don't know what's normal for me yet

@chloedancer897 thank you lovely. I’ve followed your journey in awe of how strong you’ve been so I’m inspired by you on the strength front. 💫

@HappyVibes I love your positivity! Do what's right for you, and please let us know ASAP when you test! 😊😊😊

@chloedancer897 yeah we did that last time - tested early and was negative, tested two days later and that was our BFP. But I don’t know how I would have felt if it was negative again. I feel like I know it’s a positive and that’s why I’m open to testing early, but then my positivity is through the roof at the moment so I’m mindful that I might have talked myself into this positive ha xxx

@HappyVibes the early detection ones can pick up 5 days before missed period so you could test any time from now really! (If you wanted to!) it's hard to know what the right thing to do is. I've actually found for me personally that testing early isn't good because I still hold out hope for BFP even with a negative test. I keep telling myself it's too early or that the test hasn't worked for me. So personally testing early gives me no less stress. I'm only testing on 13DPO because it's my daughters birthday the day AF is due and I want to be prepared for it. Some people NEED to test early and it actually helps them.

@chloedancer897 so right now I’m 11 DPO & itching like mad to test. The current plan is to test Saturday where I’ll be 14DPO. I have no idea really how many DPO to do it on fml. Xx

@HappyVibes @MrsK21 thanks guys. I really need to start being more positive like you both!

Are you both testing on Saturday? I'm not testing until Monday at the earliest which would be 13DPO for me. (Although don't hold me to that...I've been known to go back on my word over and over again on here!)

@MrsK21 I wish I could describe my tummy twinges a little better than I have. It’s really a different kind of twinge than I (think) I’ve noticed before. But I’m tryna be level minded and not focus too much but it’s hard ha cos I’m so optimistic and hopeful. Anyway, we are off for a meal out tonight just to distract us a little. Maybe we will decide at the meal that we will test in the morning hahahahaha! We’ve been messaging all day at work about how torturous this is waiting it out haha my husband is worse than me with his excitement!

@chloedancer897 8DPO and your temps are looking good girl - keep that PMA and that optimism high. You’ve no reason that this can’t be your month.

💫

@chloedancer897 I read today that something like 11% of women get an implantation dip so it's not a sign with much certainty. And at 8DPO a bean may not have even implanted yet! So you're defo not out - we need to keep the PMA till either a BFP confirms or AF moves us into the next cycle. No reason it's not possible!
I found temps quite hard to do as well but I read all the little tutorials fertility friend emailed me when I signed up and it was very helpful! X

@HappyVibes @MrsK21 this is my first cycle temping so I'm not 100% sure how to interpret it. I'm sure I've ovulated but I assume if pg I'll get another dip at implantation? Honestly not holding out much hope anymore. My husband is now calling me Debbie Downer lol

@HappyVibes I'm just getting up and having a wee straight away to avoid being able to test. doesn't help that I seem to have amassed several multi packs of pregnancy tests over the months I was waiting for my cycle to restart lol
You're so right about the symptoms, I'm not sure what is normal for me or not so I'm taking everything with a huge pinch of salt!

@chloedancer897 your temps look pretty good! The rise shows an ovulation and it's not dipped to pre O levels since. You're not out till AF arrives, keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you xxx

@susiebluebell I think most ladies have had their cycles return to a fairly normal pre mc time and length so hope that's the case for you, but better still is a BFP :D xxx

@chloedancer897 @MrsK21 @Northernsoul90

This sounds exciting with us both testing Saturday eek. How long away it feels, ha! I’m getting up and drinking water straight away to avoid my testing ha.

So I have had some twinges in my abdomen and it seems at times that it’s felt quite tight. I still have CM too. & crazy random dreams. It’s so hard though as I really am unsure if the abdomen twinges & tightness are common for me & I’m just hoping they’re signs.

That’s a good way of looking it for sure in terms of it being a healthy sign either way of BFP or cycle resuming to business. The nipple burn sounds like a very good sign! I literally never had that until PG last time and it was mad so deffo for me was a PG sign only. If I had this now I’d be so confident it was PG. how you feeling about it?

Chloe your temps seem to still be high at 8DPO. I don’t temp but I learnt the other day that if they’re higher then that is really hopeful?

Xxx

Should add that this is my first cycle post-mc so remains to be seen whether cycle is normal length x

@RichmondLady1981 and others, I suppose I must be in the TWW now as it's coming to the end of my fertile window and we've been dtd a fair bit. I was getting into a good rhythm of OPKs in London and then moving happened, so that all went out the window and I'm not sure exactly which day I ovulated. AF is due 16th Sept so I think I'll wait till then to be honest - all of you ladies' experiences have taught me the heartache and uncertainty of early testing. Tempting as it is! 😩

Hoping you all have a good rest of the day x

@MrsK21 my temps are all over the place. Haven't a clue what to make of them...
