TTC After MC: The home of hopeful nipples, ovulation eyes and the most determined Mummawannabees around. Chin up, tits out!

[Parsley2506]

The Rules...

(1) A lady may only POAS on a Friday.
(2) Friday means the day that everyone calls Friday in the time zone where you spent the night.
(3) Rule (1) does not apply to POA-OPK-S, UNLESS they are being illegitimately used as surrogate HCG detectors, in which case Rule (1) most definitely does apply
(4) Rule (1) does not apply following a BFP because if you want to waste £25 a day POADigiS that's your prerogative
(5) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady is POAS in an attempt to get a BFN to prove she can start DTD with intent
(6) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady wants for unknown reason to pee on an actual stick, like a twig or some such, if that lady is unexpectedly caught short whilst tramping in the forest looking for bears.
(7) These rules (including Rule (1)) are subject to the change at any time if the ladies of the Posifrickentivity thread decide on a whim come up with empirical evidence to prove that it is luckier to POAS on any other day of the week
(8) Violators of Rule (1) shall be subject to fish throwing.

And as a grand finale, why not pledge to NEVER POAS before 14DPO?

Ooooh Cake, have a 'congratulations on your cd1' card. I know it's more blood which is a royal PITA. But as you said, at least you know where you are now which is a relief.

Ha ha thanks sebs hallmark really are missing a trick how are you feeling today, hopefully a bit better? X

Delicate would cover it. Scared to eat and my tummy feels bruised. Hopefully it will sort itself soon as, feeling ill is a very quick reminder just how fab feeling healthy is!

Hey Ladies, how are we all doing today?
I'm about 2 or 3dpo and giving hubby a much needed rest from TITH!
We are away on holiday this Friday and i can't wait! We're going posh camping - big safari style tent with proper double bed, wood fired range cooker, even a hot shower. Its on a little organic farm so we can colltect eggs from the chickens every morning for breakfast and DS can go on tractor rides and feed the donkey. As you may guess from my username i'm a city girl so can't wait for some peace and quiet in the country.

sebs hope you get well soon!

Omg Gail that is my idea of heaven

My OH is a luxury hotel type person whereas I'm always trying to persuade him that a treehouse with communal shower facilities sounds ace. Have a fabulous time!

Thanks everyone. My cramps have really eased off today just a really sore head so just think I needed to give it time. Hoping by the weekend I'm feeling like my old self again x

Gail sounds like a great holiday - enjoy

sebs hope you feel better soon.

Disappointing news from my side: spotting today which will lead to AF tomorrow. Feeling a bit , but trying to be positive. Tomorrow is a new month

I think it's horrible that we prepare ourselves for our next cd1 at our current cd1. Wish I could find a little hope to wait till at least cd2 before I write off another month. :)
Hugs to the people on cd1 and here's to hoping you wait before you write anything off! to all!

Oh crap Zah. You sure it couldn't be implantation?

I've just gone upstairs to the toilet and there was blood stained mucus discharge when I wiped. Never had that before. Implantation maybe? Period is due Friday.

Maybe Sebs, sounds promising!!! FX!!
Sorry the witch has got you zah, have and , lots of

My stomach still feels like it's been punched so whatever is going on is definitely weird. Just to be dramatic I've decided I've got cervical cancer as I haven't had a smear for years. Pregnancy would be infinitely preferable.

Ah sebs I'm sure it's not cancer! It could well be implantation, fx for you. And for you zahazie, hoping you're wrong and it's not AF - what are the odds that we could all have implantation at the same time?! I've been failing miserably at not getting my hopes up today after I've felt a bit crampy all day, and now my boobs are a little bit sore too... think I need some fish slaps!

Hey ladies. Just been catching up - such a lot is going on in here!! Nothing much to report from me, except that a) I've not bled for three hours so reckon AF of the wtf cycle is finally through, waaaa-effing-hoo! and b) we are plowing all of our energy into selling our house for the next few months as I just don't feel mentally capable of being pregnant again yet; it's for the best that we don't ttc and instead concentrate on something else while I'm like this or I could end up down the black hole of depression again.

So ladies, I'm going to take my leave from this forum and come back when I'm ready to over share our filthy TITH activities. Spreading unMN love and hugs and BFP vibes to you all. No offence but hope none of you are still here when I come back

Can I join?

Aged 34, currently trying TTC #2 but had a MC in Feb 14. Am hopefully ovulating right about now (or in the next day or so), as I detected my LH surge early this morning.

It's our first month of properly trying after the MC...am excited but also quite nervous. Am worried I won't get pregnant but also worried if I do! I don't think I'll be easily able to shake the fear of a MC happening again.

It's great to see some success stories on this thread. Good luck to everyone...hope there are lots of BFPs in store!

Welcome Belle, sorry to hear about your mc. Lots of FX for successful TITH this month xx

Well if I had had an hpt to piss on I would have used it this morning as my temps are up the last two days and the brown mucus was just one wipe and now nothing. The only think I had in the cupboard was an opk so I've used it and it does look pretty positive (not glaringly so) but hopefully so.

I'm completely off my food. I still feel low level weird and crampy. Keep your fingers crossed for me

Ooh, Sebs, fx for you!
Welcome Belle, sorry for your loss.
So, after my conversion with Prof Q last night, I now have a treatment plan. Although nk cells and hormonal changes are normal, my uterine lining is a little on the thin side. So I'm keeping on with the progesterone day 21-28 regime for now (continue if bfp) and then heparin injections from new pg confirmed in uterus to 12 weeks, so will need an early scan when the time comes. Its so good to have a plan and a medical professional who doesn't just fob me off with the old 'bad luck' line. Just one thing to do now ...

FX for you sebs! Go get a frer to pee on tomorrow morning!!

Glad you have a plan in place now Just, hope you get your bfp soon.
Belle, sorry for your loss, I hope your stay with us is short and sweet.
Broody, look after yourself, I hope when you're ready you get you're sticky bfp to go with your new home! Take care

Ooo, sebs, really sounds good! Fx for you big time!

Welcome bellehopefully you'll catch this month and your stay will be short and sweet. i have the same fears as you about being pregnant again, i think most of us here do so your feelings are normal x

broody sounds like you're doing the right thing taking time out, hope the house sale goes well and we all next 'meet up' on the pregnancy forums

Welcome belle sorry you have had to find us but like other have said hope your stay is short and sweet :)

broody best of luck with the house sale. Moving in to my new house got me my bfp after 6 years, you know what they say ;) take care xxx

sebs all sounds positive :)

As for me it's cd 22 and am about to pee on my cbfm stick and prepare for yet another low :( was so excited to use it again and get going...now I am just majorly disappointed and a little worried :(

Farewell, Broody! Enjoy the break from ttc and good luck with the house move.
Welcome Belle. Sorry you find yourself here but this thread seems to have magical properties so hopefully you won't be here for too long
And Sebs - I am crossing everything for you that you have a sticky one in there! Did you save your FMU so you can go and get a FRER today? Or are you being all laid back and waiting till tomorrow?!
Any news from zah or metal?
Just - great news on the plan! Now all you have to do us have lots of tith and get a bun in your oven!

I'm on cd11 so Operation SMEP is well underway
I have a thicko question about OPKs - do they tend to start off light as you approach ovulation, then get gradually darker? Or is it a case of faint line one day and dark line the next? I am using cheapies off the internet. I've only started using them last cycle and didn't ovulate so no idea really what to expect. At the moment I'm just getting a faint test line, but not sure if this is because my wee is too dilute. Anyway - all advice welcomed. Can't believe I'm in my forties and clueless about ovulation - I might get the hang of it before the menopause hahaha

I think it's AF girls

Thank-you, everyone!

Good luck Sebs, it sounds like you may be in luck!! Keep us updated xx

office, I'm quite new to OPKs myself, so someone more knowledgeable than me may come along and have a different experience...but I've been using OPKs twice a day (at the same times each day....I'm a bit of a compulsive POAS-er....) and, for me at least, the test line went suddenly darker between tests. It was quite obvious that I'd detected my surge.

Sorry, sebs, x-posted.
