Hi everyone. Hope you are all ok. I've had my first ovulation post mc. It all seems to have fallen back into the regular pattern. It was very different this cycle though. Lots of ewcm as usual but I also got a strong positive on an opk which I never normally do (despite falling pregnant twice). Yesterday I had a pink bleed which freaked me out and also the worst ovulation pain from both ovaries which I've never had before. Usually I get a dull ache but this pain was really noticeable and prominent. I've no idea what is going on. Really hoping I've not ovulated from my left ovary as it is clubbed so I have a high chance of ectopic. Officially 2 dpo but not holding out hope as the bleeding can't be a good thing. Still, I'm moving forward so that has yo be a positive thing.

Mimilicious013 · 16/02/2016 12:57

Best of luck Loki.glad u are being positive and hope the pain subsides.at least u have ov so on to the dreaded tww !

Kellz92 · 16/02/2016 14:19

Mimi we have dtd CD8, 9, 11 so far. Going to try for daily until i ovulate. Preseed arrived today so want to give that a go!
Got a high on my monitor today, so dunno if i will ov earlier or just having a couple extra high days. Still taking the aspirin too so hoping this helps.
Been thinking of you today. Hope youre well.

Welcome Jem Pink & Sleepy

Good Luck Loki Hope the tww doesnt drag too much!!

hi all,
thank you so much for keeping me In your thought and sorry I can't reach out at the moment as I'm feeling really crap.

blood work came back good as my hcg levels had doubled so it was a positive. they offered me a further scan today where we saw a gestitational sac and yolk. they saw another sac but think it's just a collection of blood no pregnancy. I've got to return in 2 1/2 weeks time for another scan when he hopes we will see a baby and heartbeat. I just feel so bleurghhhh. I don't know if that is the pregnancy hormones or me being anxious. either way the next few weeks will be hell. Sorry to off load on you guys 😔 sometimes I think maybe I'm just not suppose to be a mum again and should just count my blessings I have one beautiful girl already.

really wish all of you the best for those DTD and going through the tww. really hope it is a smooth journey for you all xxx

I'm gonna lurk in the background if that's ok and not post much.

Mimilicious013 · 16/02/2016 15:04

That is good news pulled and our prayers are with you that everything goes well (hugs)

Hie kellz crossing everything for u dear.I'm joining u on dtd everyday too(if dh can handle it haha)

theAntsareMyFriends · 16/02/2016 15:20

pulled thats sounds like good news. Sorry you feel so bad. Its always such an anxious time anyway without all the added complications.

mimi and Kellz we are also on the DTD daily. Its slightly become more routine than enjoyment but at least it gets the job done. I'm throwing everything at it this month. I'm even lying with raised feet for 5mins after even though I know this is supposed to be pointless!

When are you testing. I'm going to make myself waiting until 8th March. AF will probably have shown up by then so at least I'll save the test and if she hasn't then 8th is International Women's day so feel like its a good day to test.

Loki hope the 2ww flies by. Good luck this month.

Peyia · 16/02/2016 15:41

Sorry to read about some of you are feeling low. I think it's to be expected, there is so much one can take on a roller coaster. TTC is just that, hopes, fears and excitement rolled into one. The disappointment must be crushing. Keep going! Make a point of treating yourself if you can.

Mimi I didn't realise you have been trying for 8 months. Sorry to ask, how long did it take with DD? I'm guessing she is potty trained now Smile

G glad you're ok too. Sorry to hear about your accident (both ones) car and Capri sun!!! Nice you had a night of with OH. Mine doesn't celebrate valentines Hmm

Fingers crossed to you all. Sorry I can't remember everyone by name, still using tiny phone!

I'm fine. Although starting to feel overwhelmed with everything. One example is fear of sharing love for my children. Completely irrational! Having to continue work full time etc....life I guess.

We all have to keep our chins up and hold hands Flowers

Gx91 · 16/02/2016 16:50

Hey all hope we r feeling better today ? X

I can picture her looking confused and upset and it breaks my heart X OH says I'm being silly and she will b absolutely fine ! X

Loki wishing u the best of luck for ur TWW ! Try not to worry about the bleeding it could just b hormones , mibi give ur GP a call if ur worried , I know how sick in the head these things make us , fx crossed for u it's a good sign and we can see a BFP soon X

CocklesandMussels · 16/02/2016 17:14

Pulled that sounds positive , keeping fx for you.
Hello to new people and my CD11 buddies. [waves] to everyone else!

Loki17 · 16/02/2016 18:39

I don't think this month will be the month to be honest. Everything is so different I just can't really feel very positive about it. I'm just hoping for a normal month before ttc properly next month. It's a very strange feeling but ill be ok during this tww because I dare not hope but I feel ok. I really hope the next 2 weeks go quickly Pulled. Flowers

f1ddlesticks · 16/02/2016 21:44

Hi ladies! Sorry i fell off the thread for a bit, been so busy have barely had a moment to check in and see how everyone's doing. Will go back and have a read properly, but I hope you're all ok. Think I'm just coming up to ovulation but not even sure if we'll be able to DTD, DP and I have hardly seen each other recently! Might be up being a month off, not sure how I feel about it.

f1ddlesticks · 16/02/2016 21:45

Oh gosh, good luck Pulled, really hope everything goes ok over the next two weeks x

FuzzyOwl · 16/02/2016 23:46

Hi everyone and I hope you are all ok. Welcome to the new ladies. Lovely to have you join us and hopefully it won't be for long as we will all have our babies by the end of the year.

Pulled as worried as you are at the moment, that really does sound like good news. Glad you will be lurking and I am continuing to send lots of positive thoughts your way. X

Please can I have some advice - if you had a nine month old with conjunctivitis, would you just wipe the eye with damp cotton wool or would you see the doctor/pharmacist? I don't what to waste my doctor's time but I also don't want my DC to unnecessarily suffer.

abcdemma · 17/02/2016 00:40

Hi all! Sorry to hear everyone's feeling a bit low. I can't imagine having to keep trying for so long, especially since DS was a surprise.
AF is now over 2 weeks late, still negative when I poas. Randomly I decided to try an ovulation test at lunchtime because I'm majorly crampy and it was positive! So we DTD tonight hoping to catch it, and hopefully again in the morning cause I'm not sure if/when my surge occurred. Bloody reproductive systems eh?!
pulled that sounds really positive for you, and congratulations too hopelass
Good luck for those stepping up the DTD over the next few days GrinFlowers

abcdemma · 17/02/2016 00:42

Oh and fuzzy I'd perhaps try the pharmacy, can't remember if you can get drops over the counter or not x

Mimilicious013 · 17/02/2016 05:27

fuzzy I would try the pharmacy too hun.hope little one gets better.

abcde u must be stressed. Not knowing is the worst! Fx a bfp just pops up or at least af shows and u can start again!

Songsandstitches · 17/02/2016 06:53

Hi Fuzzy. The advice from doctors on conjunctivitis is to clean with cotton wool and cooled boiled water. It will clear up within a few days. My dd has had it a few times. I wouldn't bother with drops unless it doesn't clear after 4 days.

My AF is due today and I have resisted the temptation to test so far. I just hate seeing negatives. I feel like AF is about to show up but I do remember feeling like that with dd until I was a couple of months pregnant. I have zero symptoms but again I was the same with dd at this point. I did get sore boobs etc but it wasn't until I was around 6 weeks pg so you never know. Somehow I keep trying to convince myself that maybe it will be easier this time as maybe my body "remembers" how to get pregnant! That's ludicrous I know!!! Did any of you feel like that?

Xx

Mimilicious013 · 17/02/2016 07:34

Fx for you songs hope af stays away..
peyia Dd took almost a year. Life is never easy on me.haha.hope u are keeping well hun.
gx hope u slept well after an exhausting day.the pain and blessing of being mom.
Kellz cockles theants hope u were lucky got some last nightWink.
I on the other hand wasn't lucky.sil was admitted in hospital for a mild stroke so dh was too stressed to dtd!!

FuzzyOwl · 17/02/2016 08:10

Thanks for the advice abc, Mimi and Songs.

Being pregnant does cause positive OPKs abc so might be worth checking in a couple of days and seeing if still positive then. Fingers crossed for you.

I hate negatives as well Song and I seem to convince myself that it is just too early to test and inevitably AF shows up later on. I felt like AF was immintent before when pregnant and exactly as you describe with no symptoms, so hopefully you will get a positive soon.

Thinking of your SIL Mimi. I hope she is ok.

Mimilicious013 · 17/02/2016 08:42

Thanx fuzzy .how are you dear and were are you now in your cycle? Hope it's a kind month to u fxfx

Songsandstitches · 17/02/2016 09:45

I caved in and bought a £shop test on the way to work. If I test at work, clearly it won't be fmu. Do any of you know how much that matters?

Hope you catch your ovulstion abc (or better still, you are pg)! Fx

Kellz92 · 17/02/2016 10:47

Thanks gx Going to try it tomorrow, Slept in this morning as DD had been unsettled until early hours after getting her hep a injections for holidays.

Fuzzy Id trake DC to see the pharmacist.

Mimi We didnt DTD this am, i slept in and DH didnt want to waken me up because DD had been unsettled, (him working nights is rubbish as i need to get up early to do it in the morning!)

Im feeling really fed up today. I have a horrendous headache, which i get close to ov, but when you work at a computer its a killer! High on the monitor yesterday must of been in my dream the night before as it was low when i got in, and low this am, which is normal for me, i normally go from low to peak then high then low :) Had another dream i was pregnant last night. not going to lie, i normally dont remember dreams, so id prefer to to remember these as i wouldnt feel so gutted!

But oh well, hopefully ttc will be over for us all soon

xx

FuzzyOwl · 17/02/2016 11:18

Thanks Mimi and I am focusing on next cycle now. Will make sure I stock up on Chinese herbs, Clearblue OPKs, evening primrose oil and pregnacare. Ttc is expensive! I am currently 4dpo so in the boring part. How are things with you? X

Songs I would try and hold on for as long as you can so it isn't too diluted but the last time I was pregnant I got a real squinter with an IC (FMU) and then a clear line on a frer and confirmation on a digital about four hours later. Fx for you.

Thanks Kellz. Really hope you get to DTD tomorrow morning and it is all in time for your peak. X

Songsandstitches · 17/02/2016 11:24

A bpn of course! I'm a muppet for thinking that anything could be so easy for me. It never is!!!

Good luck to the rest of you fx

Kellz92 · 17/02/2016 11:27

I will deffs be DTD tomorrow monring, going to try every day until i afew days after my peak!

TTC is expensive, i just bough preseed, paid extra postage so it arrived on time. Its tiny for the amount i paid haha. Was £34 for sticks for my monitor, that lasts just over 2 cycles. Luckily each box comes with 4 pregnancy ones, and i have 4 left from last few boxes. I also have 1 frer left, bought a pack of 2 last cycle when i stupidly thought i was pregs.
