Just continuing our old thread. I've added anyone who has asked to stay on here. As always, anyone who is trying after a loss is welcome to join and those who have been lucky since are welcome to encourage those who are still waiting for their rainbow (if you want to stay of course ) Also for the next thread, I'm going to let someone else take over creating the new one if people don't mind. I've a lot on at the moment with tests and I'm back to work in the next few weeks after my bereavement leave with my boys. So if anyone would like to take the mantle, feel free. Im 2dpo today and have another ultrasound on Wednesday to see if follicle has burst followed by pdg blood test. {mention:Onthedouble123} {mention:DonnaWhat} {mention:moosey89} {mention:Bellebg} {mention:Lovedatforme} {mention:Ncl31} {mention:PearlCat} {mention:LucyCL} {mention:CadoAvo} {mention:ThelastRolo20} {mention:Figtree11}

@DonnaWhat here it is - I’ve not had that big surge like you have. I may have missed it as didn’t test that afternoon. But based on past experience with ovulation after MC I’m not convinced it’s happened yet. I just hate not knowing what is going on

My LH fluctuated a lot after CP so that is why I decided to use Mira. @Ella31 is right about using BBT to figure out where you are during the cycle.
If you think Mira is expensive, try using CBFM. It will detect a rise in estrogen ( the beginning of your fertile window). You will get a few days of “High”s due to high estrogen then you will get two days of “Peak” ( your best time to dtd) then a day of “High”.
I take oral BBT and also CBT( OvuSense) to help me to pinpoint ovulation.

@Ella31 @DonnaWhat thank you both. Just feeling fed up today, I’m just sick of how difficult it is to become a mum.
I do appreciate the support x

I started to use Mira to figure out how my hormone levels were doing for the first cycle post CP with CBT and LH strips. During the second cycle post CP, Mira helped me to understand why I had light spotting before ovulation (due to low estrogen) and find out that I had low progesterone level after ovulation ( it was weak ovulation).
Because of what I have learned from the first two cycles post CP, I started to take specific vitamin supplements to help to boost estrogen in the follicular phase and progesterone in the luteal phase. So far this third cycle looks way better than the previous two. Maybe Mira could help you too ?

@Ella31 thanks, I feel like I’m getting in a bit of a tiz with it already

@DonnaWhat thanks I’ll keep going for a bit. But then I might stop & wait for my cycle to try regulate a bit before tracking again

Don't let it get into your head. Sometimes too much resources to get pregnant can mess with you. You got pregnant before, do what works for you xxx

@Figtree11 don't give up hope, i had a cycle similar the other month and i was sure I was out and I wasn't, unfortunately for me, the pregnancy was chemical but I still got pregnant.

DonnaWhat · 05/08/2024 18:09

@Figtree11 I'd just keep testing and if it's going higher test twice a day, you can also check the numbers on the tests by manually inputting going off the colour of each line if you swipe the test on your app, just incase they've automatically read them wrong

@Figtree11 temping will help if you are up for doing it. I use ovucore so I can get up during the night and don't need to worry about times

@DonnaWhat feels like the longest wait ever! I’m worried I haven’t actually ovulated. My lh test strips are still showing as high as though I’m gearing up to ovulate sometime

DonnaWhat · 05/08/2024 17:30

@Figtree11 @Ella31 we are all so close. I'm dpo2 🥰 I can lose my marbles with you ladies for the next 2 weeks 😆 Good luck for weds Ella.

Hey
Can i join pls..
We had a miscarriage last yr
Actively trying again
& under fertility clinic

Welcome. Absolutely. Sorry for your loss. Hope you are finding the fertility clinic helpful. I'm just finished tests myself after losing my twins 9 months ago - stillborn and my second was 4 days old. Have been trying for 8 months now. All tests clear but hopefully this is the month.

Welcome @EmTTC2 hope this is a good cycle for you 🤞🏻

@Nic2908 have everything crossed for you for this month. I hope this is a lucky thread for us all

Anyone else’s emotions just always up & down? One day I’m feeling positive, the next day I’m not. Weekends I tend to feel better as I try & keep busy all the time. Whereas at work in the week I find I have more time to think even though I am working!

🤞

I've definitely become more soppy in since my boys died. Was cleaning the house today and under a dresser was one of my butterfly earrings that I lost a few months ago. My mam gave me a pair when my baby twins passed away. I was so upset when I lost one. Well there it was. 3dpo today, maybe it's a sign 😅😁

Hi all, can I join too? Think I may have got lost in the post somewher 🤣🤣. I am a regular, but for those of you that don’t know me. I’m 37 trying for DC2. I have a three year old little boy. Lost my daughter at 16 weeks in 23 and then exactly a year later lost another pregnancy at 12 weeks in March 24. I’m now 2nd month of trying again.

Welcome back but sorry to see you back too. Hopefully this will be your month.

@MisssMarion I got a very faint line at 10dpo at night so you definitely would see a line. 🤞🤞

I'm joining too! Thanks @Ella31
AF expected Tuesday or Wednesday but I won't test until Tuesday morning probably as I'm away until Monday night. Or do you think I could test when I get home Monday night? It obviously won't be fmu but I'll be 13 or 14 dpo so it might pick it up if positive? I totally think I'm out btw as zero symptoms and also very little hope at this point in our ttc journey 😔

Sorry @MisssMarion I missed tagging a load of names. Good to see you xx Hope you'll be posting a positive in the next day or two

Hi everyone. Can I join, please?

I have a little boy who is 6. Decided to ttc #2 at the end of last year. I had a chemical pregnancy, which ended at 4+3 on 26th June. We ttc again straight away. Nothing as yet, but fingers crossed for this cycle 🤞
