@MrsCristianoX ah thanks, hoping it’s a sign I’ve ovulated then!xxx

Anyone used the proov progesterone tests before? Got them to use this cycle!

MrsCristianoX · 15/11/2022 18:51

@Babydustmamma I feel like I'm gonna wake up tomorrow craving chocolate like normal. DH is freaking me out too keeps asking if I'm ok. Need to forget till the weekend 🙈 one steps can have bloody good evaps/indents

@ChloeN yep I can tell the day after ov with the pain in the boobs. It's mental!

Good luck girls in TWW 😘

Babydustmamma · 15/11/2022 18:40

@bunnykins123 thanks lovely! Had no idea about the progesterone - that’s quite reassuring as I’ve been worrying that it’s too low haha ♥️

@ChloeN fingers and toes crossed! Gotta be a great sign x

ChloeN · 15/11/2022 18:36

@Babydustmamma I know honestly I’ve been waiting for this🙌😂 hope they at least stay till my period arrives so I feel more normal again

bunnykins123 · 15/11/2022 18:34

@Babydustmamma with one of my miscarriages, I had yellow creamy cm. For DD I have lots of creamy cm (can't remember if it was yellowy or not!) I think the yellow tint is down to high progesterone. Tbf I've had a variety of different cm including yellow that have also been bfn so I don't think cm indicates much at all.

Babydustmamma · 15/11/2022 18:32

@ChloeN what I’d give to have sore boobs 😂😅♥️

ChloeN · 15/11/2022 18:31

@Babydustmamma im pretty sure after my last bfp it was like creamy white, I wasn’t taking as much notice back then though, wish I could be like that now 😂

@MrsCristianoX ahhhh sounds so promising for you!! I’ve finally got my sore boobs back, never been so pleased for them to hurt lol😭🤣 I think you said when I asked before, but do you get sore boobs quite soon after ovulation? Xxx

Babydustmamma · 15/11/2022 18:17

@MrsCristianoX bloody hell this is a fantastic list! Keeping fingers crossed for you 🌈 xx

MrsCristianoX · 15/11/2022 18:09

@Babydustmamma backache and period pain for 2 days which vanished last night. I had really achy boobs too but again vanished today. But the boob ache is creeping in again this last hr 🤷‍♀️ I've gone off chocolate too. I'm off today so I'm driving myself mad 😂 I'll test properly on Sunday at 12 dpo thank god I'm working the rest of the week 😅

Babydustmamma · 15/11/2022 17:59

@MrsCristianoX oooh thanks! Have you had any other positive signs or trying not to symptom spot? No pressure if so x

Mines not clear (white/pale yellowish) atm so I’m thinking it’s likely going to be a BFN. I’ve been searching through mums net and it all seems pretty mixed 😅 feel like I’ve gone round in a loop of what is a promising sign!

MrsCristianoX · 15/11/2022 17:48

@Babydustmamma mine is watery atm. I'm 7 dpo today and every now and again get a mini flood. I'm also nearly sure I got a squinter on a one step today. I had it saved to my phone but my pictures go to DH iPad so deleted it in a panic but time will tell.

Babydustmamma · 15/11/2022 17:39

Tww crew, does anyone have an idea of what successful implantation CM would/could/should look like?♥️

Kayycatt · 15/11/2022 16:43

@Tinkerbell098 sorry about your loss. For info, I ovulated at CD23, counting from the first day of my MC. I think it can still happen. I mc at just under 6 weeks. Good luck xx

Babydustmamma · 15/11/2022 15:00

@ChloeN ahhh that’s so interesting! Thank you for sharing. Mine has definitely been more oily too 😅♥️

Babydustmamma · 15/11/2022 14:59

@Mumbrava ugh I can so completely relate to this. I can’t lie, I still feel like the only way to be truly over it is getting pregnant and I’m on month 5 after my mc, but I am learning to not be so angry with my body anymore and not put so much pressure on myself. I recently realised I’d been focusing so much on getting pregnant again as a way of feeling better that I wasn’t actually letting myself fully grieve the loss at all, and since feeling some of those feelings I’ve felt a little progress ♥️ Sending lots of love to you x

@Tinkerbell098 sorry for your loss lovely. I usually ovulate on CD 20/21 x

Tinkerbell098 · 15/11/2022 14:52

@Luna57 @ChloeN thanks ladies. When I rang EPU today, they said it may take 4-6 weeks so I will see what happens in the next few weeks. Very eager to get my frozen transfer (I've only got one in the freezer) done pre-Christmas, but I'll have to patient and let my body heal first. I used to temp to track ovulation before IVF, but can't seem to find my thermometer as I gave all that up just before I started treatment. Thought it would be good to see what happens, but I think I'll have to give it some time. So sorry about your losses. It's just so heart breaking. We are all warriors! Hope you girls are doing ok now X

ChloeN · 15/11/2022 12:29

@Mumbrava so sorry for you loss, I totally understand the feeling of the only way to feel better is to be pregnant so it’s so fustrating when it doesn’t happen❤️

@Tinkerbell098 I always thought I’d ovulate straight after mc but I didn’t, and honestly I think it’s normal! Your body’s been through a lot so I guess it takes a little time to regulate again! I got ewcm maybe day 17/18 of my cycle straight after but nothing much and don’t think I actually ovulated. Hopefully you’ll either ovulate or get AF very soon so you can start again! Xxx

Luna57 · 15/11/2022 12:14

Sorry to hear about your loss @Tinkerbell098 I think our pregnancies maybe ended around the same stage. I should of been roughly 8 weeks but scan showed 6 weeks but by the time I had the scan I started having light bleeding the day before. That was my second mc. I’m currently cd39 after the Mc and I don’t think I’ve ovulated yet (negative pt today too). I think your body can try a couple times to ovulate after mc so your cycle might be messed up while your hormones try to settle. Have you a negative pt? Hopefully your cycles return to normal soon… or hopefully don’t return and you get pregnant this cycle fingers crossed!

Tinkerbell098 · 15/11/2022 10:27

Hi ladies, please can I join? Bit of background - we've been TTC for over 2 years and are unexplained. I've recently been through my first IVF round which was a fresh transfer. Got a BFP for the first time in my life, which sadly ended at 6 weeks (only found out as I went for an early scan as I hadn't bled at that point). I had a bleed about a week later which I counted as day 1. I'm CD16 now and haven't ovulated yet per my LH sticks. Has anyone had this before? I usually have 28 day cycles and would have ovulated by now. Does having a MC delay ovulation or can you have an anovulatory cycle? I haven't had any EWCM or anything to indicate that I'm even close to ovulation.

@Mumbrava,
I am really sorry for your loss, especially at 14 weeks that's devastating.

I think post mc or mmc many things could become irregular, your body still adjusting to from pregnant to not pregnant and hormones could be unpredictable. It could be a situation LH went up and down and up again and ovulation happened once. (maybe the later timing?) that's my best guess.
I had similar experiences and perhaps other ladies on this thread. Don't worry too much and don't put too much pressure on yourselves/your body for ttc.
All the best and hope you find more clues. X

Thank you, it was devastating. It was a missed miscarriage and I found out at an ultrasound appointment. It feels like the only way I could move on is falling pregnant. Nearly everyone I know is either pregnant or just had a baby…which doesn’t help because I’m constantly reminded of my loss.

maybe i will ovulate late so I’m still checking twice a day and still nothing. I’m day 20. I’m guessing if I don’t ovulate soon then it means the first ovulation was the real one? And the flashing smiley faces were just my hormones or the clear blue acting up. Wishful thinking 😔

ChloeN · 15/11/2022 09:37

@mummatara awful isn’t it, tbh I’ve had loads of watery cm today and cramps so I’m probably only now ovulating 🤣 going to have to crack the LH strips out

@Babydustmamma my skin just seems mega oily since, it’s annoying I feel like a teenager😂😂

Babydustmamma · 15/11/2022 08:57

@mummatara really positive sign! Any progress means so much doesn’t it ♥️

@ChickenT2b 6DPO 😅 was thinking I’d hold out until 9 days? So hard but getting the BFN is even harder isn’t it :/

weird question but since my mc, my skin has been ridiculous- such hormonal breakouts. Has anyone else noticed this? I think my face just really reflects the hormonal chaos that went on but just curious if it’s just me 😂♥️

mummatara · 15/11/2022 08:47

@Mumbrava sorry for your loss ❤️ I've also heard what @TheBirdintheCave about not using them after static. I always stopped them once I got a static. Think someone else suggested using strip opks if you want to carry on testing after which is a good shout.

@TheBirdintheCave thanks lovely I'm not sure it's done it yet 🤔 no temp rise but I do always get a slow rise and it was higher than yesterdays but yesterdays was abnormally low 🤷🏼‍♀️ and now I've written that out it's just occurred to me I get a temp drop usually at ovulation 🤣 bloody hell my brain atm is shocking. DS decided he wouldn't go to bed until 10pm I needed some down time so went to bed at 11.30 couldn't get to sleep DS woke up screaming at 12 and didn't go back to sleep until 3am. God I hope no one wants any sense out of me today 😂

@ChloeN that sounds very sensible lovely. I'm always like oh I'm going to be so chill about it this time and the closer it gets to something happening the worse I get over what could be happening 🤦🏼‍♀️

TheBirdintheCave · 15/11/2022 08:28

@Mumbrava I don't think you're meant to use the ClearBlue thing again once you've had the static smiley as it then thinks you're in another cycle so wouldn't be accurate.

@mummatara Hoorah for ovulating!

Aprilsunnyday · 15/11/2022 08:19

Mumbrava · 14/11/2022 21:31

hello everyone! I had a miscarriage about 3 months ago which was devastating as I was 14 weeks. We are now on our third month of trying again but this month has been slightly different compared to the previous ones.

Normally I ovulate on day 14. This month I ovulated on day 11 (clear blue showed static smiley and I had ovulation cramps but little mucus). We ttc’ed quite abit before, on the day and a day after.

I thought I’d test again once static smiley went and it showed blank face.

but on the day of my ‘supposed’ ovulation which was Wednesday (day 14) I saw quite a bit of mucus and tested with clear blue again. And it was high fertility flashing smiley! I’ve been testing twice a day since then and I’ve been seeing flashing smileys all the time. I’m Im so confused!! Does this mean the previous ovulation did not count and that I will ovulate soon? I am now on day 19!
