CD1 ttc after loss carry on thread #3

@Ladyinpink1 haha I forgot about your love of port! Good your body is having that reaction though, keeping your blood sugar in check. I eat so much sugar and am the heaviest ever, need some healthy habits back because I'm feeling it physically and mentally not looking after myself.

So hard to keep up the momentum isn't it! Are you tracking bbt next time? Do you do that on the watch you mentioned or do you have a thermometer?

No havent bought anything this time - we're on a big resort so don't really leave it! Not much around the area apart from the hotel complex

@Ladyinpink1 in Turkey 😊 been to the hotel a few times, it's lovely! I feel like easing off for things like bank holiday keeps the momentum for healthy eating more long term though. Eat a bit of rubbish then start craving the healthy stuff after. Hopefully that's it now baby shower wise for a while. Just dreading some of my other friends announcing pregnancies but might not be for a few months yet.

A good sign for me - I think I had it a few cycles ago but was followed up by AF within 24hrs and it's been about 48 since and no other AF signs. I almost packed a test then decided against it, so I'll wait until I'm home. Would be 4 days late then, so would be a sure sign of something

Were you back testing this cycle or did you say that was going to be next cycle? Did you dtd much?

Also not sure about anyone else but I find being a bit heavier than normal (for me) triggering atm because I look about 4-5 months pregnant wearing tight clothes after a big meal. So many pregnant women here on holiday. I had a dream someone accidentally congratulated me last night, and another that I came on really heavy and was crying about it. Maybe preparing me for both happening next few days 😂

@Ladyinpink1 that's a lovely idea and one I'm running with from now on! AF due Sunday. On holiday atm and had a tiny tiny bit of spotting in CM today so will see how it goes.
I've been thinking about what you said and it was the same for me about being lighter and conceiving, also just been comfort eating to the point don't actually really enjoy the food any more so going to follow a similar plan to you. They have vegan pancakes on my all inc buffet though so maybe when we're home 😂

How are you doing now? Where are you in your cycle? How are you feeling?

Had a friend's baby shower on Sunday and although it was lovely and felt fine during, just spontaneously burst into tears the second I got in my car home. Her daughter is the same as mine and we've done everything at same stages in life since nursery ourselves.

@Wise0wl yay so glad everything went ok ♥️ such a weird thing to not have answers for though, totally get you there

@UrsulaSings123 totally understand ♥️ sorry to hear you have so much going on. I'm sure you'll be telling us about your BFP and things changing around in no time

@Ladyinpink1 are you doing anything in particular with the healthy eating? I really want to start batch cooking to make sure I'm eating better. I was relaxed this cycle, though I tried CB ov test when I had those pains and just got refer to manual 🙄 fingers crossed you'll be pregnant by he time they come through! I feel intriguied to see how long my cycle is, not holding out much hope as been really stressy again. Keep getting really bad short term memory loss and losing stuff

@UrsulaSings123 Sounds like a very good plan to look after yourself first and foremost - it is very easy to get caught up in trawling the internet for stories (both positive and negative) and end up going down lots of rabbit holes and exacerbating anxieties. Take care of yourself and I hope you can get yourself refreshed and in a better headspace for whatever comes next. ❤

@UrsulaSings123 I completely understand, wishing you all the best and hope to see you on a thread soon with a BFP xx

@Wise0wl thats great your scan went ok. Good luck that everything continues as it should!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am planning on coming off here for the next month or so. I have got really obsessive with reading threads and researching things and it's really not doing my mental health any favours. There's been a few other things going on in life (mortgage rejected, change in financial circumstances) that are causing a bit of stress as well and I need to take some time to focus on things other than TTC and get my head more relaxed. I realise it's only been a couple of months since the MC so if I'm as crazy as this now I know I need to get it in check before it escalates! Didn't want to just disappear because when people disappear I always wonder if they are OK and what's happened to them (although I'm sure most of you won't even notice haha!).

Good luck everyone! Hoping to come back in the future and see all your BFP's!

@Wise0wl oh that's great news. Doesn't stop the worry completely but hopefully has helped a little.

@Wise0wl that's great news 🥰 remind me how many weeks you are now? X

You are so lovely, thank yoy @Ladyinpink1 @samilicious @moosey89 & @ThelastRolo20. Hanging on in there and everything looks ok, with no cause seen for the bleeding (good, but I’d love an answer!). I’m booked in again in a few weeks, but to go back if any more bleeding occurs.

@Ladyinpink1 glad they were so thorough with your tests!

@Ladyinpink1 really good they're being thorough! But yeah, iron top up sounds sensible 😂

Like you say, hopefully you'll be pregnant by the time they come back, but if not I hope you get some answers

@samilicious I've never had ovulation pains so afraid I can't comment - it's been quite helpful to know when it was without tracking I suppose! How are you doing this cycle? Have you been tracking?

@Wise0wl I'm also thinking of you lovely xx

@Wise0wl I hope everything goes ok today, thinking of you x

@Ladyinpink1 no worries, thanks for sharing! Mine was only thyroid function and something else, that's a great list there. I'm going to ask about it when I go for mine. When do you get results? Have you had the actual test yet?

@Wise0wl big hugs to you today ♥️

@Wise0wl argh so sorry you're having to go through all this up and down. How is everything today? Is it worth just calling EPU to let them know just in case they could get you in earlier and ease your mind?

@Ladyinpink1 I did, haha! Had really strong ovulation pains this time for like 10 hours and tonnes of CM - all while running round crazy for the party 😂 it's like my body was saying STOP - DTD!!! but managed to that night so hopefully that's helped. Glad your tests are done - ooh yes link would be great! How are you feeling now?

What's the deal with ovulation pains and actual ovulation? Does it mean it's too late to try? Haven't had them in about 6 months or something so hopefully a good sign! Never had them for that long before (10 hours non stop)

@moosey89 yaaay! Amazing news! 🎉 just got to feel it out and do what's best for you, take it day by day on who you tell etc

@UrsulaSings123 it was a complete car crash in terms of organisation but her and her friends loved it so can't ask for more than that! Was at the local swimming pool which added another level of crazy haha. Thanks for asking! I think I'm always stressed about something or other and need to try and not get overwhelmed so easy. Just feel like I never sit down evenings and stuff, so need to take more breaks, but then it's impossible trying to keep up with home and work taking more breaks. Hopefully things will calm down soon. My cycles have gradually got longer despite this, apart from last month which I'm definitely blaming Covid for. I'm pretty sure I ovulated around CD 14 this time so normal for me. Last month was a bit earlier than that. How are you feeling on the stress front? Also so much cake still to eat so my low sugar is not happening haha - how is yours going?

@Wise0wl I'm sorry, that must be so worrying for you. Really hope it's just some random spotting that quite a few people seem to have and nothing sinister x
