TTC after miscarriage - new thread

[InsufficientlyCaffeinated]

I just spotted that the old thread was now closed to new messages so thought I'd start another. The old thread for reference: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2457787-TTC-1-after-miscarriage-looking-for-some-buddies

Mimi how do you manually input O in Kindara? I have marked peak day and put in a +OPK and it still won't put the little star on my chart!

Elderberries it's been a few months since I've used it so I can't remember how but I think I marked OV by the ticking the peak day box. I only used it for a couple of cycles before I got my last BFP so it might be that I takes a few cycles to predict the fertile window. I found my OV could move around by 5 days a month so I've given up on trying to hit my fertile window and just aimed to dtd every 2-3 days, hope that's not tmi.

Sorry Elderberries, realised I didn't really answer your query. I think you can ask questions like that in the knowledge base.

Elderberries I definitely ovulated as had a temperature rise but only got 1 +ve opk and that was at 9am - a time they tell you not to test! So frustrating when it isn't clear but I would trust nature's signs such as CM and temperatures rather than an opk.

Something I never ever have the same amount of sleep or wake up at the same time and constantly woken by one of the children but I temp and find it works.

That's interesting about temping, it's something I think I might consider for my next proper cycle if af ever turns up!

Not doing good tonight, the due date of the first baby we lost is approaching. Really hoped I would be pregnant again not dealing with another loss.

AF got me,guuted

Gutted

Sorry flourishing

Flourishing sorry af got you.

Something dealing with due dates is awful. My due date would have been September time for this baby but had not definitive date to go by. My twins were born in October and their due date would have been 24th Feb. We light candles for them every year, it's not much but it just shows we are thinking of them and makes me feel better anyway. Maybe you could try to commemorate the date with something special.

I've had s major skin break out over night! Have more spots now than when I was a teenager, they're really sore really emotional too, keep welling up! I was even about to cry at my little pony! What the heck

Sorry flourishing lots of and for you this week.

Sorry AF got you. I can't stop thinking about my friend. Her DD is 30th July and mine would've been 19th July.

Sorry The Witch arrived Flourishing.

My temps and OPKs have been all over the place this fortnight. They are normally quite regular, dip the day of ovulation, then up a bit for 3 days, then up a lot more until the day of AF. I also normally get 2 days of positive OPKs the two days before ovulation. I only got one higher, but no positive result. Then a dip the next day, then they went up a bit, then a bit more, then dipped, then up to the mid range with another dip later as well. With another high day on the OPK the day that my temperature was at its highest. I am not convinced I ovulated this month, I think I was just way too stressed. AF is due sometime between tomorrow and Saturday. I am betting she is late as a result and lulls me into thinking I am upduffed when not.

Today someone stopped me in the corridor to tell my my bump was lovely. That is the THIRD time in a week I have been told I look pregnant. Major diet time now.

Sorry flourishing

Brenna I put on so much weight with the pregnancy and after, now trying to lose it whilst also ttc. I was sobbing round the shops on Christmas Eve as I had no clothes that fitted and refused to wear my maternity clothes. I went up 2 sizes and had a big cry in topshop

I also seem to have put weight on but it's all over as well as my tummy

Hope we all manage to lose what we want!

Brenna I didn't get a high on my OPKs either just an almost positive. Temp dipped a lot then has risen for 3 days and levelled off today. OPKs are now definitely neg. I changed my thermometer this morning as I was sure the other was playing up, only 0.1 degree difference in the two. I'm thinking I missed mine but I don't know. Have you changed anything that could affect your temps?

I've also gained weight around my tummy area, wearing baggy clothes to hide it unsuccessfully no one has asked or patted me yet! Really bloated too.

Hi everyone, hope you are all ok? I'm getting post ovulation sore boobs. Does anyone else get this? It's a very normal post ovulation symptom for me so it doesn't mean anything either way, but another symptom of normality. I really need to cut down on my alcohol intake. I don't drink to excess but, since Friday, I've drank 4 glasses of wine and I'm now drinking beer. I need to go back to a couple of glasses at the weekend only.

Loki I don't normally have any symptoms post ov but this time my boobs are fuller which is odd.
After mc they were really soft.
I wish I could have a nice glass of wine but it just tastes minging, my taste buds hate me! I've forced it down a few time to be 'grown up' with friends.

Sorry the witch got you flourishing, she got me today too.

Weirdly it's a relief for me, it's the uncertainty I find hard. Now I know it's AF I can move on to planning this new cycle. I've been reading about natural ways to lengthen my luteal phase as Ovia calculated that this cycle and last I had an 11 day luteal phase which is a bit on the short side. Vitamin C apparently helps, as does Vitamin B6. So I'm going to take an effervescent multi vitamin with those in it this cycle as well as my seven seas trying for a baby to see if it makes a difference.

Loki I get sore boobs after ovulation too, doesn't seem to mean much for me either. Your wine intake doesn't sound bad to me, I have a couple of glasses at the weekend until ovulation then cut back to pregnancy limits until AF. I'm comfortable that's safe but I suppose we all need to go with what the right balance is for us of enjoying life without taking excessive risks/ harming fertility chances etc.

Are you testing today jo - I've everything crossed for you xxxxx

Sorry AF got you Lucky

I've had a really stressful week so far at work but I'm off tomorrow and DH has promised to "woo" me with a take away and an early night tonight, ha! He is definitely responding better to the all-about-the-sex school of thought. Thank you to whoever it was that suggested that - sorry j can't remember your name

I haven't mentioned my cycle or ovulation once and I don't intend to but it's in the back of my mind. My tracker says my fertile window starts today but Ovia says not until Sunday.

Morning everyone hope you're all ok.

Fed up sound like you're going to have a nice evening

Lucky I've heard a lot of people using Angus cactus when they have a shirt lp and Chinese herbs. I don't know a lot about them but it seems to work for some people.

My temp is still stuck at 36.7c hasn't moved up or down since it shifted on up in Sunday after the dip.
I have a dull low ache like a mild period pain. FF says I'm 5dpo but I'm thinking af might rear her ugly head in the next few days rather than anything else.

Expecting AF imminently, feeling shit.

Am a day late so POAS, negative, which makes sense as only DTD once in fertile window and never picked up a positive OPK.

Has anyone used Soy Isoflavones?

Sorry you're both out Lucky and Flourishing.

Hope you had a nice night last night Fedup! And you're having a nice day off today.

Amy really hope your period stays away for good!

Loki I get very sore nipples around ovulation, which then subsides into sore boobs, then they go back to normal a few days before my period starts. Your wine intake sounds fine too- certainly less than me!

I found the new thread!!!

I'm off for a catch up with you all (550 posts, I may be some time!) and will pop back with my update after that.

Apologies for my absence, my notifications stopped and I got out of the habit of checking (sorry!).......and I'm just generally shit at doing things regularly/remembering!

'speak' soon! xxx
