TTC after miscarriage - lucky thread number 3

[Brenna24]

Still hopeing for 3x3 BFPs for this month. Hopefully thread 3 will do that.

Thanks . I had hormones checked after mc and they'd gone back to normal. I felt like I ovulated too, weird.
I was just looking forward to the fresh start and a new 2 ww. Guess it'll be a bit of a wait. Feeling impatient! And due to my age, scared that was my last chance. Good luck all, it's a total rollover coaster isn't it

Hi everyone, just back from cousins wedding weekend. You might remember I was worried about seeing my 2 pregnant cousins, it did hit me but thankfully it quickly passed and it was ok. Not as bad as I had imagined.

Af due on Friday - don't think this is my month as I've had no symptoms at all.

Glad it went better than you thought cheeky

Just back from weekend away no idea if I ovulated or not. But had a lot of fun and getting better at shoulder stands!

Thanks Paco!

I think I need to learn these shoulder stands. Can someone find a pic of it please?

OPK's seem a right pain.. I think I would get so flustered wth them. Just relying on dtd as often as poss.

Like this!!

I obviously wobble and it's much less glamorous when I do it!!

Oh I sometimes do this to stretch my legs! I do it against the headboard...

It's easier if you have a wall to balance against

Sorry for delay in replying hearties - ooh, I don't know then. What OPK did you use? I know cycles are mucked after a MC. This cycle I finished my period and the next day I was getting peaks on the Clearable opks, although I think lots of us here have found OPKs in general quite unpredictable and confusing.

Do you have any other children? 43 isn't too old - my boss had a kid at 48 - it is your fertility health that matters from what I understand. Hope you are ok. So sorry you are here.

And that is good news Cheeky - glad it was ok. It is the hardest thing.

Hi Hearties, sorry for your loss and the wtf cycle doing its super weirdness on you, fingers crossed that your cycles settle down from now on.

It's cd2 for me, after a 7 wk wtf cycle, enjoying some before the baby dancing begins again, might throw some shoulder stands into the repertoire

Hi and welcome me hearties. So sorry you are here. It would just be that your cycle is upset. Hopefully it will return to normal soon.

Glad things went ok Cheeky.

We were at a funeral today. The husband of my DH's last boss. He was a lovely man and they were a wonderful couple. He died very suddenly and left 2 teenage children. It was very sad and so unfair.

I feel bad too as I am at cd 13 and have tons of ewcm. So today is try and DTD day. Which feels a bit wierd. Although he was such a family man I am sure he would understand our want to have our own.

As of yet we have not managed to dtd to completion this cycle at all. This afternoon was no exception either. I am so fed up of this.

I really feel for you Brenna. That's so frustrating. Sorry to ask a personal question but has your DH seen a doctor? It's very common.

And I'm very sorry about the funeral. That's so sad. His poor poor kids. Xx

It is due to a pretty poorly done circumcision he got done about 4 or 5 years ago to correct a phimosis. Not much we can do, he doesn't have much sensitivity left. It is ok when we are not ttc but I am getting battered to pieces right now.

Oh god that's tough. Can your doctor help? Could drugs help do you think? Even men with full sensitivity find it hard to DTD when the pressure is on so im not surprised he finds it tough. There must be help for you surely?

No drugs. Some months it goes well. Sometimes not so much. This month is particularly tough. Last month we managed every second day for a couple of weeks. I was amazed we got upduffed so quickly last time given my age and his problems. It just makes it so much harder to have lost Rowan. We will be fine though. That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Oh and thanks. It was a sad day but lots of lovely stories about him. Especially when his wife was telling me about how he used to take their daughter shopping every sunday and came back with hair masks and all sorts of girlie things for her. He was an amazing Dad as well as a huge, wonderful person.

Hugs, Brenna. I'm so sorry you are having a rough time.
West are away for can few days 'glamping' in a wooden wigwam. After dd fell asleep last night we dtd in the tiny ensuite bathroom. A bit weird but needs must! I have already started to have bloody ewcm - bloody because yesterday was only CD 6 so af is just leaving. I think ov is going to be early again.

We managed to DTD at bedtime last night. About 6 hours after all the EWCM was gone. Hopefully that is close enough. My OPK was about halfway to being dark enough yesterday, so I reckon I should ovulate on thursday.

Best of luck to you Loki.

That's great news Brenna! V pleased for you.

I am v confused with with my ovulation testing. Gonna definitely give them up next month. I have supposedly ovulated but just got a flashing smiley face after a few days of an empty face. So fed up. What the f*ck does that mean?! I guess we will try again tonight. Argh! X

I've given them up and I feel so much better.

I'm binning the opks they are doing my head in and just confusing me! I have no idea if I've ovulated or not. I got a strong positive opk a few days ago then it became faint. Today I've got ewcm and strong cramps. So no idea what's happening with me!

Af is due in Friday but I have no symptoms which is a bit strange. By now my boobs are usually a bit sore. No cramps either. Was slightly more teary last couple days and feeling tired but that's it. Doubt I'm pregnant as I think we missed ovulation and again not got any symptoms.

Is anyone here trying preseed?
