[WhyTheHeckMe]

Just out the other side of a weekend of sex finally get a break now. Think I'm 2/3dpo and will be due to test around 18th August.

My stats

Age -29
Cycle - 1 after mc 3 weeks ago (decided to not wait to try again )
Ttc - #2 (ds 19mo)

Anyone want to join me you'd be more than welcome!

Hi everyone! Nice to see we have a little group going on.
As for symptoms I've never really noticed any ovulation symptoms but this month I've had a lot of pains in my womb area. It's making me feel like I should have waited for a normal period after my mc incase I hadn't given my body chance to get rid. Although I'm sure I'll AF will arrive in 10 days or so and I'll be really disappointed..

Sorry to hear about your mc WhyTheHeckMe hopfully this is your month.

Is anyone taking any pre vitamins. I was just taking folic acid but they made me feel so sick and gave me really bad heart burn. Ive swithched to the seven seas one now. Hopfully these are better.

Anyone testing soon. X

Not started folic acid nissi - would as soon as getting a bfp though.
I've been taking evening primrose oil for the past 2 cycles between cd1 and ovulation for EWCM production.
I've decided next cycle if no bfp then may ask DH to take vitamin c and zinc. Heard it helps sperm production- every little helps

I've been taking the boots own label conception vitamins, Nissi.

I'm probably being stupid but why do you need to help production of EWCM ?

@WhyTheHeckMe I'm feeling a bit like this too! I'm not sure if it's our bodies getting back into the swings of things and we're just noticing stuff more of what but it's starting to make me question everything going on a bit. If this cycle isn't your month (which I hope it is ofc), would this be your first AF?

....................

As for ovulation symptoms, I usually get mild cramping and pain on whichever side it is. But I also still have a bit of cramping in my uterus area so I'm just going to see how it pans out I think.

Can I join in 😊

@Nissi7 I've been taking Pregnacare pre-conception vits so far but might move onto an own brand version as Pregna are a bit pricy. Not sure if they are really necessary if diet ok, but every little might help IMO!

@WhyTheHeckMe EWCM helps sperm swim up to where they need to go xx

I'm taking EPO because my friend recommended it to be honest. I produce EWCM for one day normally a couple of days before ovulation. I've noticed within 1 week of taking that it increases the quantity and the number of days I produce it, which im hoping make its easier for the little swimmers! Incidentally my friend conceived twice taking it, both after several months of no luck- may be a complete coincidence!

CuppaTea86 have you found its helped taking eveing primerose.

Hey canthavethenameiwant like your name 😂

I didn't notice any ewcm this month... hmmm. But I did get a positive opk so does that mean all should have been okay?

Welcome @canthave!

@unicorns yes that's right, I miscarried mid July - was going to wait for Af then had a change of heart. My mum was really like "ooh you7t should wait 3 months" umm no! I would do anything to be pg again. So yes this will be first af if she arrives
How about you?

EPO is also supposed to be generally good for balancing hormones - I'm sure it really helped sort my cycle when i came off pill.

Finally got my smiley face on OPK today so tomorrow will be my official start of TWW. Nice there are a few of us going through next two weeks together - FX for +ve tests for everyone ❤️

@Nissi7 thanks I'm quite chuffed with it too 😝

Thanks for the welcome I'm a lurker and gradually integrating

@WhyTheHeckMe About the same time. I found out mid-July the day before my dating scan (had to go to the EPU), then had a d&c a week later because apparently my body actually could indeed fail me further sigh. I'm really surprised I'm ovulating so soon, or at least got a surge, so hopefully have ovulated from it.

I was going to wait as well but one day I just kind of yearned to have that again and figured you know, I could wait 5-10 years, I'll still be in the same kind of place. I'll be scared and I'll always wonder, but at the same time, even though they may not be around yet, I'd still do anything for my babies, and I need to make them exist first so I can show them that. But I'm kind of bricking it

I'm so so sorry to hear that.
I was broken 6 weeks in, can't imagine how you must have felt getting so much further.
It is a very frightening time as so desperate to get pg again but then if / when we do we will be completely terrified about the "what ifs" again :(

Keeping everything xd for you xx

I have terrible backache, like I'm going to come on.. Surely I can't come on yet.
I'm off to bed, night all!

Any stage is terrible. I think it just sucks that I got to 12 but it all went tits up at about 6 weeks too. I'm hoping we all get a chance and it all just slots into place.

Sending my love to you ladies and wishing us all luck this month. ❤

Unicorn and WhyTheHeck - I've got my fingers extra tightly crossed for you guys. Sorry you've been through such a tough time. I symptom-spot like mad - must be so much more stressful after MC.

Is anyone trying anything different this month? I've heard raspberry leaf tea is good for thickening uterus lining so might try that next month.❤️X

@Chooklass Thank you, thats really kind. We will see, I'm trying not to symptom spot and make comparisons from before, though of course that's easier said than done. Hopefully there won't be a next month for you

How is everyone. X

Hey @nissi, doing ok thanks. Desperately trying not to symptom spot but my boobs are big (for me that is!) and sensitive so Im convinced I'm preggers when I'm almost certainly not. Oh the highs and lows!

How are you doing?

Same here! I'm now 6dpo I think... days 4&5 past ovulation I was in absolute agony with my back at the bottom. It was like the worst period pains ever. But today nothing.

It's literally impossible to not go "oh my God am I pregnant??"

How is everyone else doing? I'm hoping we'll get a good number of BFPs on this thread!

I'm 5 dpo.

Will probably test at 10 dpo which would be next Tuesday, even though I know that's probably too early.

When will you all be testing?

My Ov was later than expected so I'm just 1dpo today - feels like this month is taking forever! We've DTD every other day all month (and will continue to!) so just fingers crossed time now. I'm on holiday next week so hopefully that will take my mind off it, and when I'm back it will nearly be AF/ testing time!! I hope there will be lots of BFPs on here when I check back in! X ❤️

I have felt really tired today and felt like I've had a temperature. I think DH is not wanting me to 'put all of my eggs in one basket' riding on this month incase AF comes. I feel like I think about it a lot, in an excited way but I think he deals with it in a different way, so I think I have to be mindful he doesn't feel pressured for it to have worked straight away.

9dpo tomorrow and heading off on holiday. Thought I got a squinter this morning but consensus was evap line as it's too early. Will next test on Monday - 12DPO. Boobs are sore but trying not to get my hopes up! Been disappointed too many times! AF due Wednesday
