ttc after mc- the best shit place to be! #3

[northdownmummy]

looking forward to new beginnings in the new year

MrsC when did you ovulate? I try to pinpoint that. I'm only going to test if AF hasn't arrived by 16dpo- that's what I've done with last 2 pregnancies.
Problem this month is I have no idea when our even if I ovulated. Think I'll just wait until the last possible start date for AF has arrived.
Argh. So stressful.

I'm the same. My pre miscarriage cycles were 28 days but my first one post was in December and was 35 days. I'm currently CD29 with no idea when to test as I got positive OPKS at CD18 and CD25!! I think I'll do a cheapie test on Wednesday and see what happens

No idea when I ovulated various um wet patches but nothing definitely EW but that said I struggle to identify ewcm - didn't spot it with any of my 3 BFPs!

Great to hear others are also as confused as my name is

I seemed to have ov'd 2 days late, usually CD14 but was CD16 this month. It didn't happen last cycle which was the one after WTF. AF would be due 29th but not sure now with late ovulation. No idea when to test. I'd like to try wait and see if AF arrives and test on the 30th if not but i'm not very patient!

I'm another confused one. Currently at cd 26 of the wtf cycle, in which we are ttc. Have been using opks for about two weeks now. They were very light lines at first which then went blank and then got stronger again. The line on Friday was pretty strong (although still not positive), and I had a little ewcm, and I was convinced the test would be positive on Saturday, but nope, back to light lines again. I'm wondering if actually the LH levels didn't peak enough to make me ovulate. I'm temping so am very curious to see what the temps do the next few days.

fingers crossed for bfps for haribo, mrsC, & melon!

treacle any updates for us? Did the pains settle down? Hope you're feeling better.

Melon..... I got a pos OPK very late.
..... turns out ovulation kits pick up bfps.

Excited for all the testing coming up

I am finding it very difficult to not try this cycle. I can't take birth Control and dh can't get on with condoms and we are both climbing the walls after 3 months of no penetrative sex. . . Ok maybe it's not the ttc it's the sex were struggling not to have!

I had in my head that we'd try again in march but I have a devil on my shoulder telling me that since dr said it was ok from Feb that we should just try next month. Arghhhhhhhhhh

chasing I've seen mixed opinions on the whole OPK picking up bfp debate. Believe me I spent hours watching youtube videos of it on wed! I did a test yesterday bfn but if the first opk on CD18 was correct id only be 10dpo yesterday so not feeling out yet roll on Wednesday!

My last pregnancy I did an OPK when AF was due, got a strong positive so bought a pregnancy test. Worked for me!

I didn't believe they would. .. but when I got my first ever smiley face I knew somthing was up. That said I think they only pick up once the hcg is fairly high so a pregnancy test will have picked it up ...deffo not out yet tho xx

Eeek don't tell me that I'm struggling to keep a lid on it as it is we shall see

back to work today, absolutely terrified as part of me is convinced the mc was due to work stress and not sure what waits for me, on the other hand can't put it off forever.

CD34 for me from a normal 25 day cycle in WTF, have had a bfn, so just want AF to come now so we can TTC properly

reverse you will get through today. You are strong. . You can do this xx

Good luck for today reverse The first day will be hard and if you're like me you'll find it strange how the work world keeps on turning but eventually you'll be glad to be back and to be as 'normal' as you can

Good luck reverse.
Ugh, I give up for this month. I've had ewcm for 9 days now so it seems like body is trying to ovulate and isn't getting there. No idea when to expect period but I give up. I can't be bothered to have any more sex.

Thinking of you reverse, you are strong and will get through, hour by hour. And we're here to rant at!

I'm out this month - AF starting, BFN this morning (why did I POAS after AF appeared?? That's crazy lady behaviour) so definitely nog going to be pregnant for first due date

Trying to stay strong - e.g. I now write good things about each day in a little special book at bedtime - last night my pen ran out!! Life's just too ironic sometimes

Big hugs to all x

keep checking in and reading peoples updates and have to say guys most recent one just gave me a littlr giggle

'i give up, i cant be bothered having anymore sex' so funny! guess youve been busy!

Confusion. . Sorry about bfn/AF. I think we're all a wee bit crazy here. ..ttc and mc do that to you I think. Your pen story did make me laugh - in a sympathetic way ofc! I made a jar up to put notes in of happy stuff throughout the year. We'll open it on NYE

Guy sorry to hear you're all sexed out. It can be like that can't it. Fwiw I can't pinpoint ewcm for ovulation because I have it throughout my cycle and it's totally unreadable. Makes it really hard to know when I don't need to have sex and when I do.

Chasing, thanks for giving me another perspective on this situation we're all in. I've decided to take a leaf out of your book and have written myself a daily affirmation to remind myself that I am strong and healthy and there's no reason I can't carry a baby to full term. Hopefully it'll get my head out of this negative funk and back to a positive place :)

I can totally relate to the not wanting to be bothered with sex. I'm in the 2ww at the moment, and since there's no chance of conceiving, it's the one time of the month when we actually enjoy it. It doesn't become crucial that he "finishes" and we can just enjoy being together. Only been married 8 months, who thought we could be worn out already

6-9DPO here - going with 6 so I don't POAS too early. I've had faint + at 10DPO and Clearblue digi confirm at 12DPO so won't test until Friday at the earliest. However. I am starting to feel tired. Like deep down bones physically tired. Which only ever happens during first trimester. Not getting my hopes up though.

Stocking I'm crossing everything for you.

It seems quite a lot of us end up testing at similar times?!

Called EPU today and they said if the bleeding stops by weekend I should POAS. Is it not too soon? The mc was last Monday.

How far along were you carrot (sorry my brain is like a sieve)

It was measuring about 5 weeks when I had the scan.
