Wishing you lots of luck! x

Hey everyone I’m in my tww again fingers crossed this time. AF is due Wednesday so trying to be patient and wait until then before taking a test. TWW is a killer

I think I made a new thread..

I’m hoping this works 🤞🏻

@PumpkinEverything I know!! I would advocate having some fun dtd if you can get it in before ovulation! Mine came around so quick we went right back into ttc dtd which isn’t the most romantic in reality 😂

Oh yeah that makes sense @Bellabubble knowing my crazy cycle I’ll probably be waiting 6+ weeks 😂 I just want this bleeding/spotting to stop already. It’s driving me crazy! I want to start trying again already, but also it’s just been too long anyway as it’s been 3 months 🤦‍♀️

@PumpkinEverything I ovulated 3 weeks after surgical management, then got AF a week after that (so in reality it was probably best OH and I didn’t go all out dtd as I don’t think a 7 day luteal phase is long enough for implantation!!) Some people don’t get AF for up to 6 weeks thoigh which would mean you have more chance of implantation!

That’s so crazy @Bellabubble I didn’t think they’d change so quick! I actually had quite a sore head on Friday now that you mention it, so wonder if that’s when my hormones have started decreasing. Will maybe do another test at the weekend and see what it says, not in 3 days time though as that’s Christmas Day (!!! Crazy) and I don’t want to depress myself 😂 do you think then it took you 4 weeks to ovulate roughly after your surgical management?

@PumpkinEverything i did one at 2 weeks - then the Thurs of that week (which was 3 days after the one at 2 weeks because I got impatient lol!) but I was prompted to take that one as I got some really intense headaches which I thought could be hormones dropping - the difference in those 3 days was a lot! I went from an obvious line to a real squinter!

@TheDaydreamBelievers I got a squinter on a Thursday, then ovulated 2 Sunday’s after according to my bbt - so it’s still possible to ovulate of you get a squinter and you feel ready/are hoping to try again straight away!

OH and I half baked the trying this time, mostly because I was feeling so tired but also, as much as we want to fall pregnant again, it felt deflating to be back at stage 1l! Now I have af I’m feeling more positive at being able to pin point things etc over the next few months🤞🏻

Yep they did @TheDaydreamBelievers so I just rang there and they’re going to see if the results from the ‘remains’ (don’t know how to word that!) are back in so they can check to see if there was anything that would suggest anything was wrong.
While typing this they rang back! The nurse didn’t sound 100% sure on what she was reading but she said everything appears to have come back as normal from whatever testing they done. She told me to do another test in a week and if it’s positive I’ve to ring back, or if anything changes and I feel unwell or have heavy bleeding then I’ve to ring back or go to a&e. She just said it takes some women a bit longer.

@Bellabubble that’s reassuring! Did you test everyday or every few days? Have just order another box of ovulation and pregnancy tests from Amazon since I know deliveries are being put on hold because of covid 🙈 I do have some left, but I don’t think I’ll have enough to do me next month as well.

@Bellabubble @PumpkinEverything I'm a squinted at 3 weeks so hoping at 4 itll be gone gone gone

@PumpkinEverything I still had an obvious line on pt at 2 weeks - and I had a squinter at 2.5weeks x

@PumpkinEverything did your EPU say to call them if that happens? I've decided to give it another week to see

Thanks @Bellabubble @elsimo so hard to figure it all out since everyone is so different! 🙈

@bez91 @TheDaydreamBelievers still definitely a line on my PT this morning. It’s faded from last week, but it’s also very clearly there and not a squinter at all 🤦‍♀️

@PumpkinEverything i had about 5 days of light bleeding - more fresh blood I think, it was mkre red than brown. Then it just stopped and I had nothing else. I have read on these previous threads that others have bled longer and heavier, there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it though! I was told if I had heavy bleeding for more than a week to contact EPU - but anythj g else would be fine x

@familybythesea thank you! It seems to have picked up in flow a bit more now which gives me a bit more comfort! I just want to get to my fertile week again now! I feel like I wish my life away whilst ttc! How are you doing? x

@familybythesea Cool! Hello from close by!

@VP91x Good to see you although wish it was with better news. We'll sort a new thread in the next few days x

@Bellabubble I had a light period after my D&C at the normal time, but then the next two periods were VERY heavy - I ended up on iron tablets abs clotting medication as a result. But then things settled down again. I think everyone is different though, and hope you’re back to normal quickly. Hope you’re doing ok x

@susiebluebell I’m in Cornwall too :) Good luck this cycle! X

@PumpkinEverything hey :) I barely bled at all after, couple of days of brown wiping and that was it xx

@Bellabubble @elsimo can I ask when you both stopped bleeding/spotting after surgerical management? It’ll be two weeks for me tomorrow and I thought it was mostly tailing off instead light brown on wiping but then got a pretty big gush today! Seemed quite red/dark red with a few small clots and then turned brown again.

@Bellabubble i'm 4 weeks post surgical management and have just started spotting very lightly too xx

I'm enjoying reading about everyone's Christmas plans! We're in Cornwall so going to have a small family Christmas with his mum and sis, and her DH and DC1. She's due her second baby on Christmas AND that's when I'm due to ovulate 😅 So lots of fun and chaos, and maybe a slightly chaotic Christmas will be just what I need. I'm reeeeeally hoping we will conceive this Christmas and so far feeling dead good about it 💕 Thinking of you all x

I'm cooking Christmas Dinner for the first time so the prep involved in replicating all my mums food is really keeping me busy and distracted, as well as my 2 dc who are now finished school and creche! I'm looking forward to the 25th but I'm even more looking forward to getting to go home to where I'm from and spend a week in my mum's with my dc, and see my relatives briefly from a distance or for trips to a beach. So badly needed.

Only 10 days left of 2020 if that cheers anyone up!

Similar plans to us @M4v3r1ck 😊 although we’re currently allowed to still go to my mums for Christmas dinner so looking forward to that. Other than that; all our usual plans are out the window so it’ll be a lot of time with just us two, and I’m going to m&s this week to hopefully get us some nice party food and snacks 😁 and catch up with the drinking I’ve missed out on since September 🙈

@Bellabubble
I imagine it could be a bit lighter if you have had a d&c but sometimes you dont ovulate 1st cycle post mc. If you didnt ovulate it could be heavier than usual. If your off work now then it will be easier for you at least , if its heavier. Take care. X
