@beck1988, it was quite a lot needed.to use a sanitary towel, it seems to of stopped now so maybe need to convince the husband tonight although generally doesn't take much haha

Beck1988 · 02/04/2018 18:06

Haha 😂 Mine was more last month than it was this month, lasted most of the day last month, this month was just spotting when wiped x

Daffodils86 · 02/04/2018 18:43

Did anybody's first ovulation after MC feel different?
I sure im in my fertile window and the side of my boobs are sore. Iv never really noticed this at this point in my cycle before.

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 02/04/2018 20:01

@daffodil it doesn't seem to be different other than the bleeding I've just had, I think ovualted last.momth whilst I was still bleeding from miscarriage so can't really say x

xLeanne128 · 02/04/2018 20:09

Yes @Daffodils86 definitely!!! Never had a ovulation cramp or any other symptom ever! Defo never had sore boobs. Since mc every ovulation is painful and my nipples are so sore. Feel like I can feel every twinge it's bizarre. Last month I was convinced I was pregnant with all symptoms but nothing also more bloated constantly too. Currently 2dpo! X

Daffodils86 · 02/04/2018 20:39

@xLeanne128
Sometimes i wonder if i imagine things.
Not entirely sure where i am yet, still bit of guessing game. Opk are neg still, but not expecting a + for a day or two.
Frustrating being in a limbo.
Back in a 2ww for you i see, hope it results in a bfp and sticky bean!
I actually saw a post of yours earlier when i was browsing, about ttc buddy back in Feb, i did wonder how it had gone for you. X

@Lovewinemorethanhusband
Good luck, hope the bleeding you have experienced is due to being extra fertile!

Sloeberrygin · 02/04/2018 20:48

@TheDinosaurRoars I'm so sorry for your loss, that must have been devastating Flowers
@weasledee I have literally no clue where I am in my cycle, I'm possibly in the tww going by when I had lots of signs of ovulation. If that's right I'm about 5dpo. However I don't really know and also had ovulation signs a couple of weeks ago so I'm just working my way through my internet cheapy pg tests, one every morning, just in case 😁
@PumpkinPatch000 hooray for being out of limbo, roll on the next cycle!

PumpkinPatch000 · 02/04/2018 21:02

thanks @Sloeberrygin roll on next cycle!

Will keep my fingers crossed for you

Cakelaur · 02/04/2018 21:51

😭😭😭 pink on tissue tonight!! 7dpo!! Probably too early for implantation!! And way too early for AF!

BabynameEdie · 02/04/2018 22:05

@PumpkinPatch000 so glad you're out of limbo! 🤞for this cycle

@Cakelaur don't fret! It could be implantation. Every cycle / pregnancy is different! 🤞🤞for you

My hubby is actually getting a bit tired of all the bd'ing...but I've told him he can't really complain..🤣
Am worrying constantly that I've missed ov, or that it'll be an anovulatory cycle with no ovulation, or that it just won't happen again.
Urgh. So. Blinking. Obsessed. !!

Daffodils86 · 02/04/2018 22:06

@Cakelaur implantation 6-12dpo so you never know 🤞🤞

weasledee · 02/04/2018 22:07

Fingers crossed cake!!!

Cakelaur · 02/04/2018 22:30

Thanks ladies I'll test in a couple days now. We'll see!

Martydog · 02/04/2018 22:40

@weasledee I'm 2/3 dpo too, but I'm off work for Easter holidays so it will be really hard not to test especially as I have a pack of 20 internet cheapie tests. I'm trying not to wish my holidays away as well. 😇

weasledee · 02/04/2018 22:53

I'm trying not to symptom spot, which is ridiculous so early on!!!!
Do my boobs hurt?? Well probably the amount of times I've prodded them to check if they're hurting!!??! Grin

BabynameEdie · 02/04/2018 22:58

@weasledee haha yes I know that one! Me: 'But if I press quite hard here, it does hurt a bit' OH: 'that would hurt anyone at anytime' 😏

BabynameEdie · 02/04/2018 23:02

Keep seeing Instagram & Facebook updates from a friend who told us she is pregnant with twins the same week we found out I was having a MC. I hate that I can't feel joy for her..I just feel so deflated - that should be me 😥 hits me badly every time. So grateful to have this place to share my crazy head x

Funkyemzie · 02/04/2018 23:55

So this is first full cycle after MC in Feb, ovulated either yesterday or today but only had chance to bd tonight (post coitial message tmi 😂) so not getting hopeful but tbh I'm just glad I've ovulated really.

Had a huge cry last night because we didn't get chance to bd, no idea why it just flooded out of me, I feel much better today if not a bit tired. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone in tww and sending huge hugs to everyone going through shitty times. X

Funkyemzie · 02/04/2018 23:59

@ Babynameedie it's horrible isnt it, I'm co-organising my best friends baby shower this Saturday, I would have been nearly 17 weeks now and im absolutely dredding it but got to stay happy at the same time, she understands how hard it is for me though as she suffered with 2 herself before this one. I hope things go well for you in the coming months and then we can celebrate for you! ❤

Claire138 · 03/04/2018 07:23

@cakelaur OMG! Has to be implantation bleed!its in the right time frame and if you don’t usually get random spotting, it looks like you might be getting a positive!! Have my fingers and toes crossed for you!! 🤞🤞
@daffodils86 I seem to be a lot more sensitive around ovulation now. I used to only have pain on my right and twinge on my left, now both sides are pretty sore for a good few days. This month I’ve also noticed my boobs feeling a bit tender as well.
@pumpkinpatch000 glad to hear you’re out of limbo. Let the POAS games begin!
@babynameedie I really struggle with it. My DH cousins came round yesterday with their baby and of course is handed straight to me, so I’m there having a nurse and the comments start “won’t be long till it’s you” 🙄
@funkyemzie it prob helps your friend understands and it’s really nice of you to plough ahead and help organise the party. Hope it goes well and doesn’t pull too many heart strings!

BabynameEdie · 03/04/2018 07:42

@Claire138 it's so hard isn't it. I'm meant to be going to meet my dh's best friend's newborn on Sunday. Luckily they know all about it but I just know it'll tug on a lot of heartstrings.
@Daffodils86 I can't tell if I feel more around ovulation now or whether it's just that I'm super aware of any little twinge. We've just moved house and I was pretty certain I was ovulating earlier in the week as sides were hurting etc. Turns out I pulled a muscle from lifting boxes 😂 but any little feeling I'm now on hyper alert for, so I don't know if I just feel that there are more signs than there used to be or if there really are!

xLeanne128 · 03/04/2018 13:37

@weasledee @beck1988 going to try not test until AF but don't feel hopeful but you never know. @daffodils86 I did conceive in January but sadly ended at 6 weeks and nothing but wackiness since!! Fingers crossed for you too 😙

Martydog · 03/04/2018 14:50

I've decided I'm going to test on Friday even though I will only be 8 dpo. Anyone joining me? I'm hoping this will be the month as next month hubby will be away. Also I have started extra folic acid and progesterone cream and we did smep. 😀

Cakelaur · 03/04/2018 15:11

@Martydog I'll be with you. I'm 8dpo today will probably test tomorrow as I had a little bit of pink when wiping yesterday. But we'll see!! It's defo POAS Friday this week for me. I should defo have a bfp by Friday if I'm gonna get one cos I'll be 11dpo by then!! Eek
