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

@HappyVibes I'm 10dpo today and AF is due Sunday according to both Glow and FF. On that basis, if I get no AF type symptoms before then, I'm going to test Saturday. If it's a negative I'm OK with that, it's my first normal cycle after my MC and which took so long and tbh, I'd just be pleased that my body has remembered how to ovulate and get through a regular cycle.
It will of course be amazing to get a BFP but I'm mentally prepped either way.
Do you have any symptoms or anything? I had some burning nipple pain yesterday afternoon but it could well be a new AF symptom.
@Northernsoul90 how are you getting on? Anything out of the ordinary that could indicate a BFP?

@chloedancer897 there's no reason it can't happen this month! How are your temps looking on Ava?

@MichT4 oh no I’m sorry hun! I’ve voiced my anger and frustration at the lack of health care already but this just proves it again! Let me know if you need the details of my private doctor in London. He might be of help. Sending you lots of hugs! Xxx

@MichT4 it's just ridiculous that they have just left you like this. Surely they need to do more to manage this? Xx

Thanks @chloedancer897 same to you. Xx

@Firevie nothing has happened really. I still haven't had bleeding at all. I had my smear test and had some brown spotting after and I wasn't sure if it was AF but it's stopped so I think it was the smear test aggravating my cervix.
Just spoke to the GP who has refereed me to RMC and is calling the gynae to ask about the bleeding issue

I'm half inclined to drop this for a while. I'm exhausted and emotionally drained xx

@MichT4 I'm so sorry you're getting such horrendous care. Would you think of going privately? I'm annoyed that you aren't getting any real answers.

@Hayley19835 I'm the other TWW buddy! 8DPO today. I did say I wasn't going to test but it's my daughters birthday the day my period is due so I might test next Monday just to have the heads up of the BFN. Not hopeful at all anymore so I think testing is only confirming what I already know but at least I'll know a day early. The pregnancy tests are just an AF predictor for me these days.

@HE88 I have everything crossed for you this month xx

@VP91x check out that OPK! I think DTD today and tomorrow will have you covered 😊😊

AF is due today and tomorrow according to two different apps so I’ll be testing Saturday too if she hasn’t arrived by then. This is first cycle since MC though and I’ve heard they can be slightly longer.

I wasn’t sure of the exact date I ovulated as CB OPKs didn’t detect a peak and then I had to stop using them as I went away for a week. Cycle apps suggest that I am 12dpo and 14dpo (although the last one can’t be right as I did OPK on that day and day after which didn’t show anything). Last dtd was 11 days ago.

I’m trying so hard not to test early but the temptation is a killer! I’m also looking out for symptoms for AF as I usually have a breakout just before but that’s not come yet so fingers crossed. No more crazy dreams for me tho! Xx

@RichmondLady1981 this thread definitely is an education.
No I don't mind you asking at all, I've been trying for just shy of 3 years, I already have a daughter who is 8 and had no issues conceiving her, in fact I conceived as soon as I came off the pill. After a year of trying I went to my gp who tested my hormone levels and I had the 21 day ovulation blood test both came back normal. Tried for another 3 cycles nothing so went back to gp who referred me to a fertility clinic. At my first appointment they scanned me and found an endometrioma on my right ovary so referred me for a laparoscopy and tube test. I had that done in October last year. Found out at the start of this year I was pregnant then had a mmc in February. I've been trying since then so 7 months on and still not luck and this month would have been my due date so feeling extra sensitive this month.
How long have you been trying for? Xx

@VP91x so delighted to see that strong line for you! Amazing! Go crazy dtd you deserve it!
@MichT4 sorry I completely missed what’s happened with you? You’ve had bleeding/spotting?! Sorry I even went back couple of pages to see your update but must have missed it. Sending you hugs xxx

@RichmondLady1981
I'm on 3dpo.
Already fighting with myself not to test early.

Thanks @RichmondLady1981 I feel ok, just totally out of touch with my body. I don't know what's going on.

@Lollol86 no, no bleeding. I had my cervical screening yesterday and the nurse couldn't believe how little the nhs were doing. She made my cervix bleed a little bit later on I had brown spotting. I don't know if it's the start of AF or a result of the smear. I think the latter as it's eased a lot, just a bit when I wipe. My temps have spiked again, after a load of EWCM on Saturday. So I just have no idea.
I have blood tests waiting which have to be CD1-7 but I don't know if this is what it is. I need to call the GP today as he didn't call me back yesterday about a now long wait for a NHS referral.

Just so frustrating. The first two passed so quickly and now I just have nothing going on

@VP91x 🥳🥳🥳 for the lines! Finally! Really hope this is a wonderful cycle for you

Xx

@Pugprincess I know I could easily have them weekly 😂😂

@VP91x wow that is blazing. At least you have a scan this week so you will get a definite answer as to whether you ovulated xx

@MichT4 still no bleeding? Are they hospital going to do a follow up? Xx

That sounds exciting @RichmondLady1981 How are your tests coming up in terms of where you’re at in FW? Have you worked out how you’re gunna DTD around the FW ha? You’re so so right...it is SO mechanical. Literally me and my husband canNOT wait to have sex for pleasure. We do it so much in FW that we’ve forgot what having it for pleasure is like now eurgh. Won’t be long now hehehe.

I am not sure who the next tester is - I know that I am testing Saturday. My TWW buddies are @MrsK21 & @Northernsoul90 ... I am pretty confident we had another buddy too but all these names & stories I feel so ignorant but everything gets all blurred into one eek. 💓

@VP91x I’m saying dtd tonight too just because you can lol 21 week dry spell for me and counting 🤣🤣🤣🤣 xxx

@VP91x that line is so strong you are for sure ovulating ha! There’s no reason it should be a false peak given that you’ve never had them so strong like this for months.

Oh wow if you could get two in one day then I deffo would, there’s no harm in that at all. If you can I would, but at the same time, it sounds like you’re covered with doing the day of ovulation and day after? (If yesterday was ovulation?) With the strong line today will you be DTD tomorrow too? Maybe do lunch time today & then morning tomorrow? You’re fertile for upto 24hours after ovulation. As I don’t use the OPKs I am not sure if you’re test is showing ov yesterday or today? Xxx

Morning everyone.

Am addicted to reading this group! It’s distracting me at work but never mind! Ha! Yes thanks @VP91x for organising the thread.

@MichT4
I’m so sorry you’re feeling down. It must be so emotionally draining to be going through this. Are you feeling better today? I remember having issues and I was receiving NOTHING from NHS or my own private policy so took myself to the Portland Road. They were amazing and was seen in a couple of days. It wasn’t the cheapest but you can’t put a price on emotions and health. I can give you details if you need as they cover such a broad range of ladies health issues. Went back to the same place for my mmc and they followed up with a broad range of follow ups such a bloods, internal scans at several times of my cycle and so much more- they helped with the emotional side too. Not that you will need any of this as I’m sure your body with recover naturally. It’s all just a peace of mind thing isn’t it and always good to have recommendations. Hugs.

@HE88 I never knew what a IUI was. It’s an education on this thread. Good luck! How long have you been trying for? Sorry hope you don’t think I’m being nosey.

@SmileyT good luck with the scan!

@HappyVibes just into my FW so nowhere near testing yet. Line is def getting darker but a way to go yet. Was all ready for DTD last night but DH had some bad news about his dads (my father in laws) health so it didn’t feel right pushing it. Hopefully ok for later though. That’s the problem with this TTC malarkey. Sometimes feels mechanical and it can be a lot of pressure for the guys. Try not to cave!!! You can be strong! You know you’ll be annoyed with yourself if you do and it’s too early to confirm whether the result is valid or not. Hang in there! Thank you for always being sooooo positive!!!

Not that I’m encouraging anyone to test early.... but WHO IS TESTING NEXT? Can we have an update where everyone is in cycle. Wondering if I will get a 2WW buddy. Never had one before.

Have a great day everyone. X

@Lollol86 Yh same here. Tempted to have them weekly 😅🙈 I will be broke. I will see how this Sunday goes and make a plan from there xx

@Pugprincess yea it's a private one, I will do another one at 10 weeks if this is all fine too xx

@MichT4 I'm so sorry to see your news lovely 😢 I hope you and OH are doing okay Xx

@VP91x oh no! I'm so sorry about your rabbit! That's just awful. How are you feeling? Have you been for all your tests yet? That's awesome that your OPKs have gotten dark! I'm crossing everything for you!

I am on CD1 now after taking the 7 day course of Prometrium. AF arrived two days after taking the last dose so at least that wasn't too long. I'm booked for a scan of my ovaries on Thursday and if everything looks okay then I will be given a prescription for Clomid. Fingers crossed it all looks okay. I had an AMH test done, egg reserve is high (consistent with my irregular cycles), and DH went in for a sperm analysis which came back normal. So at least we know that the problem is ovulation for sure and hopefully I'm on the right path to correcting the problem.

On a side note, I would have been due in October, so it would be really nice if I conceive before that 😊 Trying to remain positive

@VP91x sorry to hear about your rabbit, so sad it has happened again. But so pleased for you that you have got a peak 😄. I’m hoping I follow and get one soon too. What cd are you? I’m cd 20 so hoping it comes soon 🤞

Awwww @VP91x so happy to hear about the peak opk! Get dtd 😂😅 I’m sorry to hear about the bunny though 😔

@Lollol86 oooo good luck with your scan! Is it a private one? Don’t know if I put this on here yet but I booked one for Sunday as I want to see if there’s some progression x

@VP91x woohoo! So pleased for you! Enjoy 🥳😉 xx

Yay @VP91x glad you got your peak! This is such amazing news for you and your OH. & into the TWW now eek. This is so exciting. I am truly mega chuffed for you. 💓

@VP91x glad your starting to feel better and 🎉🎉🎉🎉 to your peak enjoy!!! Xxx
