June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

Those of you who experienced a miscarriage, what was your cycle like after the first period?

I normally ovulate around day 14 but currently on day 15 and no sign of a positive ovulation test yet (but had ewcm Mon/Tues). My bbt also looks like a rollercoaster but haven't had the post ovu spike yet.

I'm assuming it's the MC/ hormones just causing some havoc still? We BD every other day and will continue until things spike. But I love stats and data so it's frustrating when things don't follow my normal pattern!

All okay here lovely, CD10 and waiting for peak. This is so lovely and so happy for you ❤️ how long was you trying again?

@Mummysparrowthis is so lovely 🥰 what a great feeling x

Hows everyone doing? I am 4 weeks pregnant today so it would have been my period due day today and it is so surreal to know it won't be coming. My test line is as dark as the control line today so I think I will stop testing and just hope that everything is ok.

I’ll try with fmu I never eat or drink anything before my first test though so I doubt it will affect it ? I’m not sure exactly when I normally ovulate as I always give up with LH testing lol I did have ewcm CD 12 and no more until now i’ve had watery clear cm so hoping I get my actual peak soon🤞🏻

@ForGiddyDreamer I know, its such a strange feeling. The polar opposite of what you want!

@SureLook I hope you're feeling OK. Waiting and hoping for the test to be negative just feels wrong. That's how I felt anyhow. Hopefully AF shows up soon and you can move on to the next cycle x

@Iris2024 hopefully you get a BFP right before your holidays 🤞🏻

@ForGiddyDreamer I think that sounds like a good plan. It'll take the pressure off a bit.

@EmPeEf I'm glad that OV was confirmed!

@Kerrylf great that you're getting tests 👏🏻

I finally tested negative this morning which is within the three weeks the EPU said it needed to be. So now I'm waiting for AF to arrive. I got my period back four weeks after my first loss so I'm hoping for the same this time 🤞🏻

@DorsetGirl89hooefully they've worked hard this month 😂
Yeah, a static smiley is displayed at peak when it detects an estrogen and LH surge. They claim to be the only test to track two hormones, but no idea whether or not that makes a difference. I just never caught my peak on the cheapies. Just a week or so to go!

Oh yes of course, stupid me. You said it didn’t you. I’m sorry.

Just checking the weather app and when I’m likely to ovulate, earliest is probably Saturday and latest Tuesday which correlate with a few cooler days, might even be persuaded to give it a good go this month!

New cycle and I'm back again! I got my clearblue solid smiley on CD9, so I'm around 5/6dpo but only DTD on CD9 due to being unwell. So I'm not feeling hopeful that this cycle is the one. That doesn't stop the urge to test though 😂 I'm holding out as long as I can! I also finally went to my GP and I am getting some bloods done and an ultrasound to investigate what's going on with my body, hopefully get the results on a couple of weeks (due around AF) Fingers crossed for everyone still here xx

Now I’m going to be a total hypocrite and say how relieved I am that Premom and FF both added a cover line for this month after taking my temp this morning 😅 looks like OV was confirmed and I don’t have to worry about it happening whilst my partner is away. No idea how many dpo I am but going to try and hold off testing till next Sunday.

@DorsetGirl89 I looked back through my app for how my cycle went after the chemical. The difference might be that I had the chemical the month following the mc so my cycle was all over the place. But the month following the chemical I had my first positive ov test (CB Static smiley) on CD 15. I usually get that around CD 11-13 so it was a few days later for me. My cycle that month was also longer than usual at 31 days (it was 35 following the mc and my usual is 27 days). I think the advice above is good: just bd as much as you can & hopefully you catch it.

@Iris2024 Ah Greece sounds lovely! At least you have an exciting getaway to focus on! I am cd 5 today. My app predicts my fertile window to start from Saturday (cd9) and ovulation maybe on the 23rd (next wednesday). TBH this month we plan to just bd on the 3 days around ovulation. The past two months we've bd every day of the fertile window & it's becoming not very fun. We'll fool around obvs other times this month but the pressure on those days is starting to getting to the two of us.

@DorsetGirl89 I feel your frustration. My cycle after a chemical was confusing as well, and I had no idea if I OV. Tests picked up a tiny rise but my BBT did go up after around the CD I would have expected. I only had a few days of very light bleeding for my chemical and just took the first day as CD1.

The only advice I can give is to try and let go of the tracking this month and do it old school; just have lots of sex and hope for the best. Otherwise you can drive yourself crazy trying to work out how many dpo you are. Best of luck though.

How are we all ladies?

CD10 here for me so officially in fertile window (again 🤣) I’ve lost all hope at the moment and just going through the motions. We go away on the 26th to Greece and that’s when AF is due 🙈🙄🙄

I hope so i’ll test again later and see my result! We’ve been bd literally everyday so far but i’m gonna have to miss a few nights soon so hopefully ov before then!

@amey44 they've been consistently a bit higher since yesterday though! Maybe your peak is more gradual and sustained? Mine are so low until suddenly it ramps up to a peak and by the next day it's back down low. I have a good feeling for you for tomorrow. Def BD today if you can!

I remember why I don’t do these now it’s so draining ugh! I don’t understand why my tests keep reaching 0.5 then going down to 0.2 instead of going up:/ I can tell i’ve not ovulated yet though as I wake up with sore boobs the day after just so so annoying ugh I hope it’s at least before CD 20
