Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

I just go with my BBT confirmation. Usually I o the next day.

@CycloGoose

I've not had any updates coming through. Thought you'd all just gone quiet 🤣

@mammaj21 sorry to hear of your loss. I've heard that HCG can stay in the system for a while after a MC. I'm not saying that's what happened but it's a possibility your opk was picking up on left over HCG and is now showing LH surge. I imagine it is all very confusing after a MC but hopefully your body will return to 'normal' asap.

@mum2girls19 actually quite relieved you asked that as mine are light too. Max 2 days of 'flow' and then light spotting.

@lucea87 and @minthumbugs everything crossed for you that it's your time!

@kaylsd sorry no surge yet but hoping you're still enjoying the holiday spirit of your birthday!

@laura2093 good luck lovely. I don't know what to expect but I hope they're really helpful, understanding and reassuring xxx

@Slinks8113 how are you doing today? I was all over the place yesterday thought just normal hormones but could have been mother's day related. Sorry to hear your dp was insensitive about it all. Lots of love XXX

@katieloola how's life in isolation?

Got my OvuSense and hoping I stop spotting today so I can start using it tonight! Think I'll start testing with Ivy on Friday.

Come on ladies, let's have ourselves a lucky month/cycle!

Hello. Thanks. yes o read that too....but have had negative preg tests since the MC. initially they were positive but deffo negative now and before my last period too.Thanks for commenting that though as it probably does confuse some people too.

will do another opk test today but guessing it'll be negative again. Last couple of days had some ovulation cramps..not like period as they're normally more constant and last days. It's all so confussing.

How long after positive opk test/oh surge do you all say you ovulation...or more importantly have the potential to get preg..and how many days before

sorry I know it seems silly buy just wondering people's stories/successes etc as the more you search these things the more slightly different takes you read on it!

[quote minthumbugs]@lucea87 obviously everyone is different butttttt I am not kidding... I had exactly that too 🤣🤣🤣 super super early I felt sick, didn't think anything of it. A week or so later my partner was in the shower and I had to run into be sick and that was that! Ohhhh I hope this is it for you ❤️[/quote]
Here's hoping! I can't let myself be hopeful though. But I am seeing more rabbits which aren't Easter related so hopefully that's my sign too. I feel rough as today, but I've not slept well this weekend so could just be that. Femometer says I should start testing on Friday. I've got 3 FRER but don't want to waste them 😂 I went on a pregnancy test buying spree a couple of weeks ago and got 2 CB digi's too and I've got some femometer tests but having now read the reviews I don't think they will be very good....!!xx

[quote minthumbugs]@lucea87 that was my first symptom with my LO! Way before I thought I could be pregnant. I remember coming home from work and throwing myself face down on the bed and bouncing straight back up my boobs were so sore 🤣🤣 never had it before or since![/quote]
I hope it's my early sign too 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼they are so sore! I felt sick last night and this morning but I don't think that was related xx

lucea87 · 14/03/2021 21:31

@minthumbugs I'm always moody in the week leading up and get sore boobs a few days before. I'm knackered cos I've not slept well this weekend so I'm moody AF and trying not to read into it 🤣 cannot deny that my boobs KILL though!

minthumbugs · 14/03/2021 21:25

@lucea87 god ten days! You just want it over with as well! I'm actually not symptom spotting at all because I think my body is still not back to normal post MC, the spotting has never stopped so don't think I was ever in with a chance this month. Fingers crossed for you! Do you normally get pms symptoms? X

lucea87 · 14/03/2021 20:12

@laura2093 hope it goes ok lovely xx

@minthumbugs fingers crossed not for you. I felt like that for 10 days last cycle, so frustrating! I'm 5DPO now. Desperately trying to not symptom spot but my boobs have been really achy since yesterday. I'm due on a week on Wednesday so have ages to wait!!!

minthumbugs · 14/03/2021 20:06

@laura2093 good luck. For the appointment but also hoping that you won't need it! ❤️

I've had so many squirrel sightings this weekend 😆🐿️ but to be honest I think AF is going to show if not tomorrow then in the next few days. I'm only 7DPO! But I think it's happening. Oh well. Hope at least not for a few more days so I'm not worrying about luteal phase being too short! How is everyone else getting on? X

MammaJ21 · 14/03/2021 16:27

[quote lucea87]@MammaJ21 sorry for your loss xx what OPK's are you using? were they getting stronger or are they the same? And are you doing them at the same time of day or different times?[/quote]
hey...I try to do the same time but if I'm honest they're not all. But it was deff positive Thurs Eve/Fri morn then lighter since until today it was the same as the control line again. I'm sure that it's too late this month now.. we only dtd the day before the positive..so doubt that will have happened

laura2093 · 14/03/2021 16:11

Hello ladies ❤️ I hope you are all well? I took a bit of break from here whilst I got my head in a better place. We are still trying this month, now using conceive plus lube and my partner taking macca root as well. I take seven seas too. We are not doing opks or temp. Just going with my normal cycle... less pressure and bulking DTD around one week.
We have now officially been referred- just waiting for a phone call to book the initial appointment. I'm anxious but pleased things are moving forward. Any ideas what to expect at the first appointment? Xxx

lucea87 · 14/03/2021 15:31

@Mum2Girls19

Hi all, Im on CD3 today and periods a lot lighter and getting brown blood..tmi Anyone else not have very long periods.. I mean like only 4 days???
I used to have awful painful heavy long periods before I went on the pill. Took me about 2-3 years to be regular again after coming off the pill but now I have one possibly 2 days at a push of heavy bleeding and then just brown spotting after that. My period is normally 5 days absolute maximum. My cycle is 33/35 days.

@MammaJ21

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is doing ok today.

Really helpful reading all your posts etc.

So I had a positive opk test Thurs Eve and Fri morn. Dtd Wednesday night but haven't managed to since. However, just did an opk and it's positive again... had some little cramps year and today (ovulation) just a bit confused as to why it's positive today. Definitely think I missed the window of opportunity after the initial positive opk in Thurs.

Anyone experienced similar?

I should maybe add some context here. I already have a little boy.I found out I was pregnant in Jan then had a MC around 6.5/7 weeks. From day one of bleed/MC I had my next period 27 days later. it's now 15 days since that period began. x

Ahh love that video @kaylsd xx enjoy your extended baby dancing xx

Sending hugs to all and especially thinking of those of you who have experienced loss too xxx

Slinks8113 · 14/03/2021 10:13

@kaylsd thanks for that and to you too, I had a little bit of an emotional morning after my partner said something a little bluntly this morning about our MC. He didn't mean it in a horrible way but it really hit me. Avoiding social media for today I think 🤷🏼‍♀️ hopefully our time will come 🥰 and enjoy that extended birthday deed doing, lucky you 😂 x x

kaylsd · 14/03/2021 10:09

Hey there beautiful TTC ladies, thank you for all your kind birthday messages to me, I got tiny little bit tipsy over the weekend to say the least, annoying thing about this weekend was my peak was due on my birthday!! Nothing as of yet, yesterday's reading was 0.66 and I have EWCM so just looks like my birthday weekend of fun is going to be extended ;)

I've seen a lot of Mother's Day posts today and saw this link for anyone who's got TikTok, it's a cute vid message for us all ❤️

@CycloGoose went to work, co-worker got a positive covid test and here I am. Knew I should have pulled a sickie! 😂
Other half thought he had symptoms on Wednesday, went into isolation, he had his test and it came out negative (results came on Thursday) out of isolation on Friday morning, took Ares for a walk, Friday afternoon before I was headed to work (all ready to go and everything) get a call from test and trace and back into isolation we went! As I said, had the first test today and waiting for the results to get back, probably be tomorrow morning, but even if it’s negative we both need to be tested again on 19th so in isolation till at least the 20th... hopefully next month will be better all round 😂

CycloGoose · 13/03/2021 20:02

Great news for you @dagray21 looks very strong. As @lucea87 said, your pregnancy is dated from CD1. Chemical is a loss in the first 5 weeks I think. Best not to think about it too much.

I'd love to see a lovely bfp like that!

@mum2girls19 I'm cd3 not far off you!

@KatieLooLa what have you done to deserve all this fun ! ? ! 🤣

Got all my new toys today for tracking the shit out of the next cycle. Roll on fertile week.

lucea87 · 13/03/2021 18:26

@Dagray21 you are absolutely ok to get a positive test now, you're 14 days since ovulation so technically AF due. So perfect, congratulations 🎉 also, your pregnancy technically starts on the first day of your last period depending on how long your cycle is so most people are 3-4 weeks pregnant already when they find out. Don't worry! Enjoy it! I can't wait to see 2 lines!

KatieLooLa · 13/03/2021 18:23

@lucea87 it’s really uncomfortable, was so embarrassing as when the nurse did the swab on my nose there was a big bogie on the end of it 😂
Got a huge headache so chilling out in the bedroom while other half shouts at the rugby in the living room.... might be why I have a headache...

@Dagray21 Congratulations! That looks like a very positive, positive test to me x
