@SunnydazeQ
Hi mine is still effected. I have had 3 periods since. It is getting better I think, I got my first positive OpK this month. Not had much cervical mucus though - just a bit 2 days before positive opk. I had a miscarriage at the beginning of 2nd trimester so always thought it would take longer to get back to normal. Its stress cortisol thats causes these problems. My friend has got pregnant really quick with 1st that ended in miscarriage, it then took.10 months to get preganant again. With her second she got preg 1st month of trying and said she felt it was stress and an out of sync cycle. I think after a miscarriage we read that your more fertile and sometimes that may be the case but if your body isnt ready then it isnt ready! It will happen ...... ❤xx

Does anyone just believe charting and sticks and cm is just stressing you out more? This month I'm trying the good old dtd as much as I can caus who noes when I'm ovulating!!

SunnydazeQ · 26/10/2020 07:58

I finally got my static smiley after 5 days of high fertility, even though I've had lots of EWCM over the past couple days. My recent loss has definitely affected my cycle so decided to look at the data since we started TTC. We started in May but without OPKs so didn't track then. I'm currently on CD16 but my cycle is definitely longer now. Any ladies out there who suffered a miscarriage, did your cycle return to normal or was it affected like mine? Just curious.

@Misskg1982 @Nov2 @Farfaraway1 sorry AF arrived. Baby dust for Nov xx

@SarahMumof1DS hope you had a lovely weekend. No not clothes but furniture/furnishings. I have large mirror I got on FB marketplace for next to nothing and want to paint part of it. I also have a old stool I need to change the fabric on. Things like that really :) Didn't do it this weekend and thought I'd leave for my TWW to keep occupied. X

@ACNass fingers crossed for when you test 🤞

Good luck to all the ladies in their TTW!! Sending positive vibes for that BFP this cycle.

@Tabbycat92
Hi hun, I am 3 dpo. What symptoms have you got? I normally get a few cramps here and there between ovulation and AF so never can tell xx

PurplePops · 25/10/2020 21:56

Hey @Tabbycat92 I'm currently 4DPO, its my first month ttc so not really sure what symptoms to be looking out for. I don't think its happened this month, DH had to work away during ovulation so think I missed my window. Have you had any symptoms yet? How long have you been trying? Sending baby dust your way! Xxx

Tabbycat92 · 25/10/2020 20:41

Hello all 😊 I commented on here a few days back, but haven't been back since. I imagine we have had a fair few BFPs now! Congratulations everyone. I'm 5dpo today, and symptom spotting everywhere 😂 anyone else 5dpo?

SarahMumof1DS · 25/10/2020 19:48

@Farfaraway1 I'm sorry AF came. Sometimes I think about if I don't get pregnant after a certain time that I'd stop ttc and just not be careful instead and see what happens. Have you ever thought about that either? I imagine a lot of us have. Or maybe you've already tried it. I always wonder if it would just be a lot less stressful, but then it's so hard not to think about symptoms in the TWW. It would take a lot of restraint not checking ov and af timing. x

@Farfaraway1
Don't give up! You might only be a month away or 6 months away, how ever long it will be worth the wait! In ' normal times' a weekend away would be a good idea right now 😔 fingers crossed for BFP very soon xx

Farfaraway1 · 25/10/2020 19:07

Hi ladies! Well I’m out.. AF arrived on Saturday.. 😒 I guess I’ll be jumping on the November bus! Feeling ok about it I guess.. the more time that passes the more I think I should give up and just be happy with what I have - my two beautiful boys. X

SarahMumof1DS · 25/10/2020 18:43

Good luck @Emc16x @mbymoll for when you test again x

SarahMumof1DS · 25/10/2020 18:39

Hi @MamaPheebz I know what you mean when you said you can't remember what a normal cycle feels like. A good sign you have pregnancy symptoms though. Keeping everything crossed for you! Try not to think about the what ifs so not to stress yourself out. Let us know how you get on. x

Because I have a low chance this month I'm kind of looking at it like it's a normal cycle (non ttc) and I have actually haven't had any symptoms really except couple of hot flushes and feeling a bit sick a couple of times. My af was due today and this morning bang on time I started getting pink spotting. So I thought I'm out, but all day it's been very light pink spotting and not much when I wipe. I know I'm probably out but I always hang on with that last smidgen of hope when I spot like that. Normally I get a bit of spotting but soon after full on dark blood. My temp didn't drop drastically today or yesterday which it normally does and hasn't gone below my coverline so I can't help but think I'm still in 🙈. More than likely af will arrive tonight I reckon. x

Hi @Emc16x i think i’ll test on the 4th or 5th November so I’m on a similar time frame to you.

@mbymoll did you use first morning urine? Only way you could be pregnant is if you ovulated late? I got a late positive last cycle but it was faint and I got my period 2 days later so it was classed as an early loss/ chemical pregnancy. Hopefully not the case for you of course x

Emc16x · 25/10/2020 11:51

No BFP yet! I did have a BFN last week but I could have tested too early?! I didn’t have any peak opks but had 2 days of EWCM so I’m crossing everything. My periods are so irregular so I’ve decided if AF doesn’t arrive by 1st Nov I’ll test again! Xxx

mbymoll · 25/10/2020 03:54

Hi! Not sure if many are still here but my period is due in 1 more day. I tested yesterday morning and it was BFN. This was 3 days before due on. All of a sudden I have a lot of discharge which isn't usual for me, at least before I had DS anyway (first full cycle since his birth).

Could I still be pregnant? It was just a cheap Asda test, not a FR one...

MamaPheebz · 24/10/2020 23:12

How’s everyone doing? I’m 6dpo and was staying calm until today. I feel like I’m getting early pregnancy symptoms but don’t want to get my hopes up. I can’t remember what a normal cycle feels like so can’t tell if they are Just af symptoms lol. I just feel like I did with my other pregnancies.

So scared I am as I’m in a really good place mentally but I’m worried that another miscarriage will destroy me.
Christ this is all so confusing!

SarahMumof1DS · 24/10/2020 19:58

@ACNass all the best for when you do test. I'm glad we can help keep you going when you don't have anyone to talk to. I joined because I thought my DH was sick of talking about ttc and my family didn't seem understand it all. It was such a life saver to have this forum and community of women who all feel the same.

@Nov2
Pregnacare vitamins for conception I think are quite good x

MgW1 · 24/10/2020 16:37

@ACNass
You absolutely do right! I had a mc a few months ago and a few people have ask " Do you think you will try again?"
Iv just said - well .... as this year has been so shit we have decided to think about it at some point next year!! And mind your own bloody business 🤣🤣
Unless you end up with severe morning sickness and family members guess and ask you then deffo wait til after 1st scan , and in winter you can get away with it more in winter clothing!!! Fingers crossed for you and if its now meant to will happen soon.

With my son , we had been trying for several months and nothing so decided to have December off trying. I had 2 work xmas parties and wanted alcohol on xmas day as I had the christmas off ( im a nurse) Only did it once after a few wines in my fertile window and bingo! He came 3 weeks early in Aug. Needless to say I am having December off trying this year too!! X

Nov2 · 24/10/2020 16:29

@MgW1,thank you for your reply. We are ttc for our first kid. We have not started taking any supplements only vitamin D. I just read about the pre seed. I will give it a try. Thank you

ACNass · 24/10/2020 15:51

@SarahMumof1DS @MgW1 I'll definitely test again in a couple days when I'm 13-14 DPO and I'll use FMU. I'll be sure to give an update either way. Thanks for the support ladies. My husband and I don't want to tell friends and family that we're trying because we want to avoid added pressure so it's really nice to be able to talk about it here with you all.

SarahMumof1DS · 24/10/2020 15:36

@MgW1 That's good to know. There's so many factors involved and so many variables I think that's why it's not a one size fits all situation for everyone. It would be so much easier if it was!!...🤔

NO CRAMPS=PREGNANCY
CRAMPS=AF

Simples! 🤪

Wouldn't it be nice 🙄

MgW1 · 24/10/2020 15:33

@Nov2
Are you both taking vitamins and supplements ? Are you using OPK's ? Could it be down to stress? I have just bought some pre - seed ; check it out if you havent already.
Doctor will prob take some blood samples to.make sure you ovulating properly. But you have 1 child then you will have another , don't stress.... easier said than done I know!!!
I just got some more viatmin supplements.for conception and they are like bullets 🤣🤣 xx
