TTC after MC#6 - the lucky one for all of us!

[Romeolovesjuliet]

New thread. Hoping for lots of lovely BFPs over the coming weeks

Do you know what this is going to make me sound so stupid I did not realize you can still have a period without ovulation which is why clomid is taken I am so naive I honestly thought if you dont ovulate you wont see your period.
I should of known that I have just always taken everything for granted that I am ok.
I am worried now because I dont think I have ovulated either this month I got really faint lines over the weekend but no really dark ones. I did have very bad cm (sorry for tmi there) but it had blood in it :(. I think when you've had a mmc and d+c you go into mega paranoia and worry.

Hope you get a dark line soon guys.

keys even a positive OPK doesn't mean you'll definitely ovulate. It's a strong indicator but it shows the increase of a specific hormone which is always present but increases in the few days before ov, peaks 12-36 hours before ov and then drops down again. But it doesn't actually prove an egg was released just shows that your body geared up for the egg release.

It's all very annoying

You can have a bit of a bleed with ovulation and with implantation

Oh really you see I have no idea of that what so ever. I am learning so much about my body thank you. Its very annoying and so confusing.

There's a really good book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility - I learnt loads from it. Available on Kindle as well as hard copy

Oh brillI will invest in that thank you ever so much carrot. I think after what we've been through I have found it really interesting and educational to learn how my body is working. I mean at nearly 30 with 2 children not knowing you can have a period with ovulating has opened my eyes up. I felt stupid asking so I googled it lol.

CD1 for me. Roll on next cycle...

So sorry carrotpuff xx

So sorry carrotpuff - sending positive hopes for next month.

It's all just so frustrating isn't it!! I could just about cope with ttc again if I knew it was at least possible to get pregnant in the month!!

Thinking of you carrot. It's very difficult.

keys the whole thing has been an eye opener for me....

Hi all, just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Haven't been able to keep up as DD was taken into hospital at the weekend and we only got out last night. All rather stressful but she's on the mend now. I'm 6 wks tomorrow and have early scan at the epu as have been having lots of backache and been convinced things were about to end for about a week. Not expecting to see a hb as I know I will be a couple of days behind as I ov'd late but hoping it will give an indication of how things are going. Terrified about going though and keep thinking about cancelling.
Hope everyone is ok

FX crossed it's all ok at the scan romeo and very sorry your DD hasn't been well - how worrying all round

Sorry about AF carrotpuff

Hugs romeo. Keep positive - backache could just be your version of cramps and stretching (I always get backache rather than tummy with everything). And stretching is totally normal - everything crossed for a great scan for you xxx

Sending you all the good wishes in the world romeo. It'll be such s nervous time for you. Hope the scan goes well

Fx romeo will be thinking of you! Positive vibes

Sorry the bitch got you carrotpuff ... New cycle new start, lovely lady

I went through a lot of stress trying to conceive dd ... And I learnt a lot about my body and cycles etc then. My cycles were all over the shop ie. 70 days, 30 days, 50 days etc so I really just had to dtd eod for about month to catch! With no real idea if whether I was ovulating, so annoying! Not for dh though, he was well happy haha!

Hope that sort of might help give hope to others if cycles are being a pain in the arse.

After being regular again for 2 years after breastfeeding I'm thinking they will probably now revert to their usual tricks ... But you just never know! Lots of cm today so hoping I may be about to ov fx!

Autumn, hi, nice to see you posting again, lovely . I'm really sorry it seems your MC has been really drawn out with that long bleed.... I hope you're doing OK.

welcome paws and dobby

red I'm worrying about OV too. I have only temped two cycles but on both of them I OVed CD16 and got positives on 15&16 and slightly more faint ones the few days before that. Yesterday (CD12) I had a fairly string (but not positive) live, today barely anything.... it's so stressful, isn't it? I too feel like I veer form crazy lady to crazier lady - either ridiculously excited or exceedingly down...

keys another good book is "the impatient woman's guide to getting pregnant" which includes a fair bit about MC. It's also on kindle.

carrot hugs.... don't tell MNHQ. Hope you've got some good wine to soak the bitch.

Lovely to hear from some of our successful BFPers . Romeo stay positive m'dear. I was so scared at times of MC last time that I spent little time enjoying the fact that I was pregnant. I regret that now, because nothing you can do will make a difference to the outcome. In all likelihood you will have a wonderful healthy pregnancy so I hope you can find the strength to enjoy being so. Sorry to hear about your DD. Is she better now?

Sorry I've been a bit absent. Back to work this week and it's been crazy. I'm already on countdown to summer though!

Hello, can I join?
We are TTC #2 after an early mc in April.
I'm now 14 dpo and getting obsessed with the Fertility Friend app, symptom spotting, knicker checking etc!
Am trying to hold off until Sat to POAS, but my baby-crazy brain made me POAS on an opk today. Very very strong positive so have been frantically Googling. Stupid I know.
DH is v anxious after the mc, I think he almost doesn't want me to test because he'll start worrying I will
mc again.
We lost our baby niece last year so sad things are definitely playing on our minds atm.
Long, sorry. Just wanted to get it all out as I don't want to discuss TTC with anyone IRL. And anything to get me off the damn fertility app!!
Anyone else 14dpo and waiting to test??

Welcome cake!

I have a confession- I'm on hols and pretty pissed. Big glad of red, have downloaded both of the books mentioned onto my kindle.

You ladies area great bunch. Can't chat about the details of cm to anyone in real life. To some bfps in the next few weeks. Bottoms up!

Glass not glad!

honey that must have been so difficult for you having such inconsistent cycles - I hope they're more settled down now and ov is on it's way.

ibeka I'm guessing maybe you missed the peak bit of the surge if you just tested the once in the day? I'd take the fairly strong line as a positive but I'd also keep testing as I'm neurotic

Welcome morecake and I'm sorry for your loss. I've read lots about opk detecting pregnancy so really hope when you POAS properly it will be lovely and positive for you x

red mmmmm wine!! Hope you're somewhere lovely on hols.

I think I got a positive opk yesterday evening after my neurotic panicking (wasn't quite as strong as control but pretty much there) so I'm interested what my cbfm says when I get up in 5 mins. I'm wondering whether it will catch the peak since it tests only in mornings.

red hehe made me giggle enjoy you holiday hun xx

disney yay finally. Enjoy the next few days xx

more sorry to hear of your loss welcome xx

I found out last night that my SIL is pregnant. I feel like I have been shot through the heart. This is unlike any babybomb so far. We have an uneasy relationship and I simply cannot bear it that she is pregnant and my baby is dead. I spent last night clinging to DP and sobbing. I feel like I have been put right back to the week of the surgery. I am going to have to hear weekly accounts of her symptoms and be surrounded by people telling me how wonderful it is she is pregnant (both she and DPs parents live nearby and are frequent visitors). I'm a wreck today and just don't think I can handle this. I thought I was doing OK but I just cannot bear this. I feel so cheated and on top of that guilt because I should be happy for her but instead am just a miserable bitch.

Sorry for the moan.

Oh ibeka I'm so sorry. It must have been so hard to hear and don't feel any guilt - you're still grieving your loss. It will be you celebrating soon I'm sure x

I'm so sorry ibeka. How difficult for you. Your reaction is completely understandable and you do not have to feel guilty about it. Do they know about your mc? Hopefully they'll be sensitive. You will get your baby- it'll just take a wee bit longer.

Great news Disney- that's a relief. Nothing for me again this morning...

Hi to everyone else

I can't stop crying. It's like I'm feeling the loss more than ever. They don't know and DP doesn't want them to. She will be the most in-your-face pregnant person you can imagine.

sorry to read this ibeka, both my sister and SIL had healthly pregnancies and deliveries and brought their babies home, whilst my baby was 13 months in intensive care hospital. I found it incredibly difficult. I had to distance myself physically as I couldn't cope.

I'm glad you have this safe space to share your feelings.
