TTC after MC - September 2020 (Thread 13)

@Rainbowhope11 yay hope the line keeps getting stronger hun!!!! Would be lovely to see you get a BFP xxx

@VP91x thanks lovely! I just tested with a FRER and it's positive but I'm planning to keep testing until Monday to see if the line is still there. I have a feeling it's the trigger though so I'm being careful not to get excited 🙈

The clomid worked for me, had two big follicles! And I had no side effects. My doctor had me on a low dose (50 mg).

How are you feeling?

@Rainbowhope11 oh I’m crossing absolutely everything for you!! Sticky vibes for a sticky bean!!
Like @VP91x said it was our partners we had take the hcg injection as it improves sperm mobility and morphology along with sex drive. I’m unsure of how the hcg shot in females works. Did u ring them to let them know x

@HappyVibes I’m your cycle buddy! Probably a few days/weeks behind you but getting there lol cd16
@VP91x how are you hun?
@EJay84 really sorry about your loss! You will find comfort and support here xxx

Morning lovely ladies!

Have we anyone testing anytime soon?

I’ve just entered my TWW. Any lil cycle buddies this month?

Xxxx

@EJay84 so sorry to hear about your loss. X

@VP91x @2020wish @MrsK21 @SmileyT Ladies!! I need your expertise please! Someone on our original group of girls (March board onwards!) used an Hcg trigger shot before. Was it any of you?

I'm on a clomid cycle this month and used an Hcg trigger shot 11 days ago. My doctor told me to test at 12 days past trigger and call if it's positive. So I obviously couldn't help myself and tested yesterday and saw a faint positive. I then tested this morning with FMU and still saw a faint line. I then tested a few minutes ago (now 11:26 pm in the USA) with very diluted urine, been drinking tea and water the whole evening and I have clearly visible pink lines on both a wondfo and pregmate cheapies.
My question is, do you guys think that it could be left over trigger or could this be the start of a bfp?

@EJay84 I am so sorry. Sending you and your OH lots of love xxx

@Bellabubble I have an Ava. It does temp HR breathing rate and sleeping. It was good for me to see how much I was sleeping (or lack thereof!) and so far it's been spot on picking up ovulation for me. I have a code for £20 off if you want it. I really do like it and the resale value is good so once you use it and it works you can sell it on!

@Firevie fingers crossed for you! Oh painting sounds really good! I wish I was artsy!x

Hi, I found out I'd had a missed miscarriage on Mon. We had had a scan the week before at 8+3 and everything measured perfectly with a strong heartbeat. We then found out at 9+3 baby had stopped growing at 8+5. Can't get my head around what went wrong in those 2 days. Started some cramping and brown spotting today so fully expecting the physical side of things to start kicking in now. This waiting is a killer. Hoping to TTC again as soon as we can x

@chloedancer897 ooh so you’re in your TWW now! Great going on the journal and acupuncture. I went to acupuncture yday. She was trying to convince me to come every week but at £85 a session I think once every fortnight is enough! I’m okay thanks. Cd15 currently and slowly creeping up to ovulation I think. I’m removing, doing cbd in the morning and OPKS in the afternoon and dtd lol so keeping busy. Oh and I’ve recently started painting. My SIL does zoom sessions on the weekends so that takes up quite a bit of time haha xxx

@Sallyjo27 it works for me because I'm lazy lol

@Firevie currently 5DPO and trying not to lose the plot! I'm still getting acupuncture every 2 weeks and keeping a journal to keep myself sane. How are you?x

@HappyVibes thank you lovely!!! Ooh ovulation yay! Get your dtd in and then just rest and enjoy TWW :) hopefully this is your month xxx

Yeah @Firevie don’t worry about it at all, it’s completely normal to have flashies at the beginning, and then low OPKs. You’ll hopefully see that as you get your static, you’ll get your darker OPKs. Everyone varies in terms of how many flashies before a static, so don’t worry at all if it’s more or less than 4flashies - just go with it & feel reassured with the faces and the OPKs.

Sounds like you have it covered @Bellabubble The day before ovulation is a very good day to DTD.

I think I am ovulating right now lol got my lil twinge. So we are gunna DTD tonight and think that’s us done for this cycle. Phewwww feels like such a relief after the FW. Xxxxx

I made it to the weekend lol! Sorry for being so absent this week - I work in a primary school and both my ta and a child’s 1-1 were off this week, and I wasn’t allowed another body in with my because of my “bubble” so I have been absolutely shattered every day. This meant we only dtd the day before I ovulated - last time we only did it once, the day after as well, and we still caught - but at 9cycles post mc I like to throw a bit more at it usually!! So not holding out hope, especially as I had a temp dip today that was just below my coverline! I’m due for cd21 bloods on tues - hoping the results come back quickly 🤞🏻

I’m tempted by an ava - those of you that have them, is it just a different way to temp? What else does it do?

@chloedancer897 hey you, yep I’m temping as well. How have you been?
@HappyVibes @RichmondLady1981 ahhhhh thanks for this! I had no idea lol! Saw the flashing smiley and got so happy that I literally jumped on OH lol! But then the OPKS made me sad :( previous cycles I had a higher ratio on my cheap OPKS than this cycle boo! Just hope it does go up quickly and I get my static smile soon. The instructions say it may be 4days of flashing smileys before you get a static which does sound about right. Let’s see xxx

@Furbsies let me know how you get on with your appointment. I’m still non the wiser with me. Do you do OPKs? Do you think you ovulated? And how’s your Cm? Sorry all the questions, hope you don’t mind me asking just want to know if we are in the exact same boat x

@chloedancer897 I’ve got an ava bracelet too and I love it! I find it works so well and the ovulation matches up with the opk too. So much easier than taking BBT every morning too x

Are you ladies temping? I found that my Ava is so much more accurate than both the OPKs and CBD. If you remember, I haven't had a positive OPK this month but had static smiley on CD 13 and then a big temp drop CD14 so I know that it was then. I know it's another thing to do but it really helped me pinpoint my fertile days x

Yeah that’s exactly my thoughts and understanding @Firevie and @RichmondLady1981 The CB detects when your levels are increasing, but that’s because they detect both hormones. Whereas the OPK cheapies detect just LH. So the good thing about the CBDs that I love is that you get the run up to the surge, which is great given that spent can live for up to 5 days. Whereas, with just OPK I kind of feel a bit cheated, not having had the heads up with the 5 days prior that could have also counted 🤣 xxxx

@runnergirl1 cd38 and have booked an appt because I'm not sure what my body's doing anymore.

Sad and stressed is what I am right now.

@Firevie

@HappyVibes correct me if I’m wrong! 🤣 ha!
