Please tag anyone I’ve missed from the old thread.

I’m currently enjoying my first glass of wine in about 10 weeks. Will happily give up alcohol for a baby but no baby I need alcohol 😂

Really hope that’s the start of a BFP for you @Babyghirl let us know when you test in the morning.

@Annny27 Sorry it looks like AF has arrived.

@Nuggetlover27 Fingers crossed for a positive FW

Annny27 · 11/04/2021 09:40

Morning! Boobs have shrunk, combined with the spotting then that's me out!

@27donfin got high hopes for you this month! When are you due and testing?

@danisaui31 sorry that you also find yourself here. I have done the obsessive tracking and the relaxed cycles too and honestly I feel so much better when I am not peeing on opks every couple of hours, obsessing over if a line is getting darker or not! So I am not buying anymore LH tests (unless I need to for medical reasons e.g. i need progesterone checked on a certain day for example!

@kiwi17 so frustrating isnt it getting spotting but no AF! I am 13dpo now and reckon she is due very soon as I feel cramps and very period like haha

@babyghirl any news on your AF??

27DONFIN · 11/04/2021 09:14

@danisaui31 I’m sorry you find yourself here. Everything you have said we have all done it’s only natural to try take control of the situation. There’s no point in me telling you want to do as I honestly think we all have to go through the whole consuming side of it to the naturally relax as telling you to relax isn’t going to work. the whole ttc it frustrating and emotionally draining especially after Mc. Personally for my the best thing I did was spot tracking and ovulation testing I may not have fell pregnant yet but am not longer letting it take over my life or relationship which is a positive to me. Xx

danisaui31 · 10/04/2021 23:19

Hello everyone, I spent the last hour looking through this thread in awe with how positive and supportive everyone has been with the ups and downs of our TTC journeys. My husband and I got married last year October 3rd and a week later I missed my period and found out that I was pregnant. We were over the moon, we hadn't planned the pregnancy it just magically happened. 4 weeks later I started bleeding which unfortunately resulted in a MC. Those few weeks were the most exciting days of my life yet quickly turned into the most devastating days I had ever experienced, I've always so badly wanted to be a mum. After December AF arrived so we decided we would try again in January, each month I am driving myself crazy symptom spotting, it's seriously like an addiction. I don't want to put the pressure on my husband because he believes everything is in gods timing. I'm doing everything I can OPKs, taking prenatal vitamins that I need, exercising and eating well, tracking my cycle like a hawk. Last cycle I truly believed I was pregnant, had all the signs there but I didn't want to test until I missed my period. My cycles are normally 29 days so once I was a day late I seriously thought I would get a BFP but it was a negative. I didn't get AF until CD32, I was so let done and upset about it because my body has always worked like clock work, never less or more than 29 days. I put it down to stress and over obsessing lol, so I decided to stop everything and give TTC a rest without tracking. I guess I relaxed too much and ended up not knowing my fertile window because of my unexpected longer cycle I just had. I actually cried thinking I let a cycle slip through my hands. Hubby said we will still DTD when I get EWCM because when i tested with OPK I couldn't find a strong peak. So I am currently 12DPO, I had brown and pinkish spotting from 6DPO to 10DPO only when I wiped and had mild cramping and back aches. Took a test this morning and it was a BFN. Feeling confused and so discouraged. Just wanting to be a mum so badly and I'm feeling like the odds are against me... it's so nice to see a thread of supportive ladies who have been battling for a much longer time but are still so optimistic and hopeful. I have been yearning to find a group of women who are feeling what I feel each month. No one in my family has had a MC so I can't have open conversations about it with anyone as I feel like they don't understand me or think I'm being dramatic. Sending baby dust to you all who are pregnant, actively trying or are waiting for more answers through fertility. Wishing for our rainbow babies this year!! Love and light to everyone.

Sweetbabydust1989 · 10/04/2021 21:57

@Babyghirl spoke to soon the cramps and back ache are back bubble bath might be needed 😂 absolutely gutted I was gifted a fertility bracelet by my other half's aunt she is really into crystal healing i am on the fence but wore it as it looked so pretty it was kinda gesture when I had my ectopic and the thing just snapped while I was eating my tea the thing must be a omen lol xx

Babyghirl · 10/04/2021 21:40

@sweetbabydust1989
Yea they say the pain can come before during or after but the day after I have it my temp goes up lol so they say you can't use that to say when💚
@kiwi17
I did indeed bck to work tomara a days overtime 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 what we do to pay the bills lol 💚 hoping you get an answer to either the bitch or a bfp hopefully the second one thou 💚💚

kiwi17 · 10/04/2021 17:28

How's everyone doing? I'm still getting tiny bits of pink/beige cm when I wipe - 13dpo so technically af due tomorrow but who knows as it's the first one after the mc?! Fed up of the spotting now this is day 6! Argh. Anyway. Feeling slightly more positive today just need to get af over and done then we can crack on again! @Babyghirl hope you enjoyed your evening alone!

Sweetbabydust1989 · 10/04/2021 16:20

@Babyghirl yes you're so right it's pretty much gone now so I believe I probably ovulated on either the 7th or 8th and not the day I got my peak as I barely had any CM before those dates xx

Babyghirl · 10/04/2021 08:38

@sweetbabydust1989
The cramping could be down to ovulation I sometimes get ovulation pain but it bes on the side the egg is coming from lasts a few how's them disappears hopefully that all it is with you 💚

chali7 · 10/04/2021 08:13

Thank you @Miscarriage39 xx

chali7 · 10/04/2021 08:07

Thank you @justwant2beamum x
@27DONFIN thank you! I've been keeping well thank you! The anxiety has eased a bit, but I've started getting severe migraines which has been quite hard to deal with. I've taken a week off work on leave this week so I'm hoping that will help! hope you're keeping well? Xxx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 10/04/2021 00:24

@Babyghirl yes it would be better to catch naturally I completely understand that 100% I am taking some multi vitamins aswell as folic acid which my consultant said would be good to start before ttc.. I am currently cycle day 18 my last period was 24th March that month was 30 days xx

Babyghirl · 10/04/2021 00:16

@sweetbabydust1989
I'm hoping I catch before that and don't need it tbh hoping the recurrent miscarriage clinic can give me answers what cycle day r u on nw from your last period I have found after my losses I cramp a few days before the witch arrives glad your not stressing what vitamins you taking xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 10/04/2021 00:07

@Babyghirl I really hope ivf has a happy ending I really cannot wait to see a scan pic from you... to be fair iam not that stressed i feel pretty good well apart from these cramps... when I conceived my ectopic it only took a couple of months as I came off my mini pill end of October and got caught in December I saw my consultant as I have adenomyosis they also thought I had endometriosis but he thinks because I got pregnant fast that he is sure it's just the adeno... I had a scan after my ectopic and my ovaries are all good no idea on tubes as he said doing a hycosy wouldn't benefit me atm and go see how I go xx

Babyghirl · 09/04/2021 23:57

@sweetbabydust1989
That's another reason why I stopped temping cause I work shifts to so having to set my alarm for 6 took it at 6 cause oh gets up at 6 for work so when I was off and he was off it killed me lol, I have nw been put on the ivf list but hoping my app comes through for the rmc before hand and they can tell me and give me a reason for my losses and hopefully help me on my nxt bfp. But please as hard as it is try to relax and not stress I have learnt on my journey that it does not help with temping and stressing it took me a year to fall pregnant the first 3 pregnancy's then I stopped all tracking and fell pregnant ten weeks after the 3rd loss you got this and will have your happy ending 💚 xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 09/04/2021 23:44

@Babyghirl thank you for your response... I haven't tried the temp tracking as I work stupid hours so not sure if that will affect the results... yes it's a pain really I did another test after my static smiley disappeared and it was just a blank circle ( low fertility)... oh wow you have been right through the mill haven't you I hope you get your BPF xx

Babyghirl · 09/04/2021 23:40

@sweetbabydust1989
You ovulate about 12 to 36 hours after your peak but also you can get a peak where your body gearing up to ovulate then stops then goes again have you taking your temp any month I say that's the best way to keep track of your cycle I would get a dip in temp the day of ovulation so if you take your temp along with the tests you would get a better indication of when it happened and go from there, but I have stopped all tracking as it was stressing me out I have had 4 miscarriages and a cp, so sorry you had to go through that it's awful being on this journey but us ladies understand what your going thou and no question is never tmi 💚💚

Sweetbabydust1989 · 09/04/2021 23:19

@Babyghirl Thankyou so much I suffered an ectopic back in January this year so on my first month of ttc i had no tubes removed or injection my little tot resolved itself within 12 days... I wanted to ask some advice on ovulation testing as I am really confused as I think I might be ovulating later than my peak test...

I got my static smiley on cycle day 12 (Sunday) so that straight away blocked out cycle day 13 (Monday) doing this via the clear blue advanced tests... I have been experiencing lots of CM and cramps since cycle day 15 so have no idea on when my DPO started...

Last month I had 3 low days 1 high day and then my peak but I didn't get my peak until cycle day 16... my cycles I would say are now between 28-30 days now.

Also worried I haven't DTD enough this month we did cycle day 5,7,11&12 hoping that's enough I work stupid hours.

I generally feel awful the cramps are mild but in the middle not located on one side.. they kinda come in waves they come and go..

Sorry for rambling on just nice to get it out there xx

Babyghirl · 09/04/2021 23:03
