TTC after MC; hand holding, hugs and lots of things that can JTFO!

[Treaclepie19]

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?

Another one who isn't ovulating this month.
Cd 20 and no rise despite positive opk.
I'm hoping af comes as normal though because I want to take the thrush tablets!

...and another + OPK this morning. WTF is going on?

Are you sure the first two were proper positives Lazy? As dark or darker than the control? Not everyone gets on with opks. Some people never get a true positive but still get pregnant. Don't stress about it as that can delay ovulation.

Enjoy your spa day sebs, and hopefully the relaxation will help bring on AF soon.

Another BFN for me today so I'm pretty sure I'm out. Fucking fucksticks. I'd stupidly got my hopes up again as I really thought Saturday's cramping was implantation. I hate my fucking body.

Weird with the lack of ovulation- I'm currently on CD33, no BBT rise, thought I spotted EWCM a couple of times over the past 3 weeks(!) but clearly not. OPK is faint. WTF is going on?!

I honestly think it takes a while after mc for many of us to reset again.

So sorry that some of us are having a shit time. I did another hpt this morn and have analysed it to within an inch of it's life lol. I can just about force a squinter of an evap out of it if I stand on my head and shine a light through the back, but between you, me and these four disappointed walls, it's bfn. Only CD 26 though so hopefully she will show her face sometime this week xx

We're not doing well are we ladies :/
I think my ovulation might have been delayed by stress/illness but who knows. Just want af now.

I POAS this morning too, Sebs, and did the same holding-up-to-the-light etc... shameful! I've found an acupuncturist near me who specialises in fertility- if there's no sign of any changes by the end of the week, I'll be making an appointment and begging her to unblock energy, do whatever to try to help.

My old due date was this coming weekend- can't believe I'm still not pregnant

OMG you are going to laugh, scrap everything I just said, AF will be with me in full force tomorrow. She really has a fucking cheek to not just piss off for one more day.

So I must have ovulated CD12 with a 14 day LP. Looking at FF next cycle my fertile days fall over the weekend, so lots of shagging time!!

So I'm thinking super plus tampon and mooncup for Spa Day and lots of trips to the toilet.

Oh Sebs, sorry af has arrived :(

Well, ive been back to the doctor. He's given me a tablet for thrush because it hasn't gone away and I can't use the pessary.
He said its not recommended when ttc but since I don't think there's much chance this month and they say it's more long term use that's a problem he said it best to treat my thrush.
Bit nervous about it but still.

He also asked if ive been tired/thirsty because it could be linked to diabetes. Said I had been tired but not really thirsty. Then came out and realised I've been thirsty a lot recently. I'm useless.
So now I'm even more worried about everything! Hopefully my thrush will go though.

EnglishGirlsReturned Yup - I used the ClearBlue OPKs with the smiley face. Not the fancy advanced ones with the flashy smileys, but the pink ones that are just empty circles from the solid smiley days. We're on solid smiley day three.

sebs Sorry AF arrived, but hooray for ovulation and shaggy weekend next month.

treacle sorry you're worried at the moment. Thrush is an arse.

*apart from

I cannot type, apparently.

It's not my day. Went to get in the car this morning to find my sat nav had been stolen overnight. It's ridiculously old but just makes me feel unsafe once again in our new house. If I had known about previous thefts (the vendor did not disclose when he should have) we would probably not have purchased the house.

Oh no sebs, that's awful! was it stolen from inside the house? Have you thought about getting a burglar alarm?

lazy I had three days of +opks as well this month, I think some people just have a longer LH surge (mine is usually 2 days).

I'm still really pissed off that it looks like I'm out again this month, but I've decided to have a drink tonight and watch a rubbish sci-fi movie tonight to cheer myself up. (Anyone seen Avalanche Sharks?! Prehistoric sharks that "swim" in snow instead of water - I just burst out laughing when I read the plot summary so now I'll have to watch it to see how bad it really is! )

sebs I'm sorry, that's bollocks.

metal That film sounds... amazing. Do let us know how it is. The best/worst film of that ilk I saw was a Scandinavian one about Nazi zombies. Can't remember the name. Hilarious and awful.

I'm usually a 1-2 day OPK person, but I think I might be getting somewhere as I've now got ovulation--type pain on one side. Pop, little eggy! Pop!

Afternoon all! Sorry for silence - been on holidays in the states so hard to get on. My spotting has turned into AF I think. It's a bit different to before, for a start I don't normally get spotting! Made the cycle about 30days which is reasonable. Have started clomid today now too so in all actions go this month. Acupuncture too - she had two ladies pregnant last week so hopeful I can be soon. Last pg test taken Weds and was a squinted if a line so should be -be now AF is here I would think.

Oh sebs., what a day! Is it lots of crime around there then? Is it worth reporting?

Agree with the others tori, just start to build it back in when you are ready. I went back straight away to keep my mind off it but took lower impact options.

Film sounds amazing metal. We get to watch a lot of those crappy films as DH gets them from poundland. Just mentioned your one to him, he's heard of it and sounds like we might be on the look out for it too! Let me know if it's worth the hours!

Sorry th

Let me try again!

Sorry things aren't going great ATM sebs and treacle Fx things will look up soon.

I love films like that metal always good to cheer you up!

I'm 2 DPO I think.... I haven't been using opks or anything and cycles settled into pretty regular 27 days after TFMR so Fx we have done the deeds at the right times!

Took DS to the farm this morning as a treat for a good school report....only for me to park the car, turn around and him projectile vomit all over me, himself and the car! So we came home and are having a duvet day. He's perked up now so hopefully he will be well enough to go tomorrow!

tori I haven't but my DH mentioned it earlier so he might have done! Avalanche Sharks is on Syfy too this evening. I'm hoping it's gonna be hilariously bad, not just bad... (I think the worst film I've ever seen was Mega shark vs Giant octopus, or something along those lines - the dialogue was so cringey and the special effects were awful!)

Sorry to hear about your DS bitchpeas, I hope there's no more vomiting to come! DD once threw up all over herself and the car on our way up North, which meant a 3-hour drive in a car stinking of vom... lovely!

Hello ladies, can I join you - again?!

Some of you might remember me, I do see a few familiar names on here...
For those of you who don't know me - I was on here a number of times , last time I left this thread when I had a BFP at the beginning of this year. Sadly, in spite of being very closely monitored and with lots of medication, it didn't work out - again. I made it to 17 weeks, before they discovered that there was no heartbeat anymore

It was my 4th mc in a row, and to say that I am beyond heartbroken and desperate, is an understatement...
We had tests done for the last two mcs, and both were due to chromosomal abnormalities (trisomy 2 and 18, respectively). So, in my case, it is most likely my -ahem- advanced age that is the main problem (I'm 42).

I have on DS who has turned 3 in May, and in spite of everything, I still want to try for a sibling. I had thought about going down the NK cell test route, but with 2/4 mcs due to chromosomes, I've given up on that approach, as I don't think that immune issues are a problem for me.
I take heparin and aspirin when pg, due to having had a DVT a few years ago.

So DH and I had a talk last week and decided to try again. Currently on CD8, and I have just spent a quite obscene amount of money on vitamins and supplements, both for me and for DH, to try and improve egg and sperm quality... Plus, alcohol and caffeine will be reduced drastically (could be a bit of an issue with DH, but he has no ground to argue - he drinks too much of both coffee and wine!)
I'm also temping, charting and using OPKs and a CBFM because I'm a control freak (and because I've managed to fall pg really quickly when doing this in the past). Exercise has been ramped up, but DH could be more active...
Anyone else feel like having to constantly tell the other half 'do this, don't that, and btw, we have to dtd for the next 3 days'?! I honestly hate it... Sigh.

Hi Ladies!!

Jbrd - i'm so sorry for what you've been through. I remember you and wish you all the best for the future. Take it easy my lovely. You'll get there.

Sorry the witch is en route Sebs, but enjoy your spa day.
Bitch, i'm sorry your ds is poorly, hope he feels better soon.

8dpo here and no symptoms of any kind.....
