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

@susiebluebell aww sounds lovely! Swim in the sea, living by the sea! Enjoy it! Sounds amazing. Xxx

Ladies just done my afternoon OPKS and it is reading as 0.3 which is obv low and negative but it was 0.21 yesterday at this time. Very confusing. Xxx

@susiebluebell you’re in such a good position! You’ve had your BFP before, so you absolutely ARE both fertile, there’s no doubt about that at all! You clearly know your body and cycle well, which is a gift in itself. Being in the middle of your FW & having been DTD already is amazing so you already have a few in the bag & still more to come for your peak. You’ve got this all covered girl. Get yourself in a nice frame of mind to rescue the cortisol levels to support fertility too. You have no reason at all to be thinking like this girl. Get your positive Polly mindset on. Next time you for a swim, leave those negative niggling thoughts in the ocean waves & cleanse with positive ones as you get it the sea. xxxxxx

@chloedancer897 GIRL!!! If you DTD in your FW, then there literally is NO reason at all why this can’t be your BFP month! Even if you were symptom spotting, the high majority of women do not have any symptoms at all so early on so that would be nadda anyways. There is literally every chance this could be your month & no reason to think otherwise at all...the only way in which you could be confident about it not being was if you knew you hadn’t DTD in your FW. But I know you know your stuff so I am pretty confident you have. You’ve got every chance this month, just as the month where you did get your BFP before girl. 💫 Remember the Law of Attraction! Maybe take some time out to read, meditate, yoga, whatever you like to do to help keep you calm & grounded & back into a positive mindset girl! You have got this xxx

@chloedancer897 sorry to hear you’re feeling low but no need for that! I’m sending all of your good advice to me back to you :) ! I am temping and my temp did go up today. I will use cbd next time and will keep doing OPKS for now just to be able to input some data. Thanks for everyone’s advice @VP91x @Louisa199 @MichT4 @Northernsoul90 all your messages have meant so much to me! I was quite down but feeling bit better now. Just ready to be back with OH and being back in my home and getting back to my routine.
Xxx

@MichT4 Well right now we're staying with OH's mum while things are finalised, so down in West Cornwall near Helston. But going to actually be living further north up the coast near St Austell

@susiebluebell your move sounds amazing. I can't imagine how blissful it must be to live in Cornwall. Where abouts are you? Sounds like you're near the beach.

Not jealous at all xx

@chloedancer897 sorry you aren't feeling positive about TTC, I'm bang in the middle of my FW and have been dtd (in between moving and life stuff!) but my mind won't let me get excited at all, I swear I'm just thinking 'the last pregnancy was a fluke, it'll never happen to me again'.

However it IS nice to be dtd and just enjoying being down in Cornwall now. I went for a swim in the sea alone this morning, left OH and the dog snoring, and just enjoyed it. I did think maybe this time next year we'll have a baby, but it also seems so far away that it's not quite real.

@Bl0ndi3 I'm 30 in a couple of months! Enjoy your birthday!

@HE88 the due date thing is so tough. Mine is November and I really thought I'd be well pregnant by then. Just need to let it pass I think so it's not some goal I'm holding onto.

@chloedancer897 excuse me! None of that please. No need to feel down about anything yet, lovely. You've a long way to go and whatever happens, you are gaining a real understanding of your body which will help you along the way to getting your bfp. Please don't lose hope xx

@Firevie I never go on the fertile week predictions alone but use a combination of things. Remind me again, are you temping? I feel like this month, I have a much better idea of my cycle because of the Ava. I also use CB digital because I can't be trusted to interpret the OPKs!lol

Update from me. 6DPO and now I'm getting quite sad. I just know I'm going to get a BFN. I have very little positivity left. I'm almost wishing the next week away just so I know. So I'm not symptom spotting or anything because I don't want the false hope

@Firevie If you are not sure about the prediction in the app, have you tried to talk to their support team? Maybe you record some data wrongly or they need to fix some bugs. They always reply to me soon after submitting feedback. Felt very supported.

@MichT4 fingers crossed they have and that's rubbish about your private not helping out! Yes blame those hormones, I don't think it helps that my due date would have been in about 2 weeks 😢 xx

@BEESY90 I would have gone a & e as if you say your bleeding they can refer you to epu at least you no you have been referred. Hope its a false alarm its a horrible feeling to have no clarity over what is happening.

@Firevie Yes, go ahead and mark a peak. But do not stop testing until the day before AF comes. Just in case you have a long cycle this time and the true peak has not come yet.

@Bl0ndi3 go and enjoy yourself, you only turn 30 once and you don't even know if this month if you have caught xx

@VP91x glad you haven't got COVID but sorry about the bug! Hope you feel better soon

@HE88 he certainly is a distraction 😂. No they didn't say. I'm going to call again tomorrow, make sure they've referred me (has to be nhs now as private have said no) and ask what they suggest. I had loads of EWCM on Saturday so wondering if I'm going to ovulate without bleeding, but I'm totally guessing.
I've been similar with emotions recently. At least we can always blame hormones! Hooray for the FW though! xx

Oh no @VP91x hope you are feeling better soon glad your test was negative. Xx

@MichT4 Loki is gorgeous what a lovely distraction for you. Did the doctor say anything about what you should do about af not showing yet? Xx

Update on me I'm on cycle day 14 so in FW, had some creamy type cm no ewcm yet. My emotions have been all over the place 1 minute I'm so moody or crying my eyes out have no idea what's going on 🤦‍♀️.
Anyway hope you all have a nice Monday. Xx

@Bl0ndi3 May not be everyone's jam, but I would. I'm very much of the mind that if you don't know you're pregnant, you should carry on as normal. Obviously some people cut down generally on alcohol when TTC, but it's your 30th, and I don't think TTC should take over. Lots of people (me included when I first got pg) don't know and keep drinking. Enjoy yourself!! 🥂 xx

Thoughts - on Sunday I will be 30 (eeeek) and my OH is working nights so me and my best friend are going out for food and drinks.
I'll be around 6dpo at that point, am I okay to have a few drinks do you think? WWYD

Morning everyone. How are you all today?

@Sully84 your evening tests sounds like something you can't rely on for sure. Fingers crossed for a later test. When do you plan to test again?

@MinnieMouse4 thank you. I've been slightly distracted with it all because of Loki's arrival. Still waiting for AF to make an appearance. It's all so strange!
Sounds like you've been in a nice relaxed mindset this cycle. Sorry about the UTI, they can be so nasty! The dreams sound promising though When are you expecting AF?

@KatiePlus3 it sounds like you caught your peak yesterday. I agree with @HappyVibes, DTD day of peak and the two following if you can. Sounds like you are well covered if you've been DTD every day. Fingers crossed for you.

Anyone got any updates today, temps, symptoms? Not that I'm encouraging looking for any 👀👀 xx

@HappyVibes Praying that this is my month 🤚

Hoping you all get your BFP's soon ❤

@HappyVibes I’m not sure what day I ovulated exactly but it’s been 13 days since first dtd and 8 days since last dtd. AF is due on 3 September. Xx

@HappyVibes The test line is alot darker than the control line. My first test at 8am the test line was fainter but the 2nd test at 11am i did then showed the test line darker than the control line and same again at 3pm. From 11am the test lines have been appearing before the control line theyre that dark xx

@KatiePlus3 oh brill! It sounds like you’ve done fab then DTD already for a few days - so I would suggest keep going with DTD tomorrow & Tuesday. Sounds like you’re well covered girrrrl 💓
