TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 18: Christmas cake for Christmas babies

[Daffodil77]

Here you go

@Boboelephant I'd say you ov cd14. With a fallback rise around 3dpo and now you're 4dpo. 👍🏻

@Cakelaur you're like the tarot reader but for charts! I want to send mine now... 😳

@Boboelephant but I'd keep DTD just in case you may have another spike. Keep doing opk and keep going. But I'd say you have ovulated

@boboelephant I would agree with @cakelaur. I had a fallback rise 2 cycles ago and I got totally confused on when I actually ovulated, but I looked it up and seen a fallback rise can be common and it’s just esteogen and progesterone fighting. Hope you’re having a relaxing holiday and enjoying the sun! It is miserable here!
@pumpkinpatch000 it’s awful how our bodies go up the left after mc...just as we get used to our bodies ways. My periods are definitely heavier and longer now, however I haven’t had that random bleed. I agree with the girls and maybe just give the doc a call for peace of mind but I’m sure it’s just part of “anything goes” after miscarriage.

@BabynameEdie send it send it!! I love it!!! I've done SOOOO much research!!! I feel I could write a book!! Hahahaha

@Cakelaur I feel shy now... it seems much less detailed than all yours! 😂but here goes...

Thankyou @BabynameEdie your message made me smile. And laugh out loud! We do drive ourselves crazy don't we!! Ok I'll try and listen to you and you have to do the same. Keep bd'ing and relax!!! 😀😀
@Cakelaur oh my god what?? Fall back rise?? I don't even know what that is. This is all new to me!! You have just got me all excited and hopeful. Cd14 would be stupidly early for me though. Cd17 last month was early, before that is was often cd20. The only thing that makes me doubt is I started getting loads of EWCM CD15, 16 and 17 and I thought that usually disappeared after ovulation. No symptoms of ovulation before that.
Thankyou @Claire138 how are you getting on?? What day are you?

@Boboelephant deal - we will both relax! (She says, frantically googling 'fallback rise'...) 🤣

@BabynameEdie so I have to get to grips with different style charts. Is the dotted line a previous cycle? Cos I'd say you haven't ovulated yet. If the hearts up too are BD then keep up the good work cos O should be coming.

@Boboelephant I think keep doing opks. Like @Claire138 said fallback rise is oestrogen and progesterone fighting. MCs do mess up cycles but equally you know your body best. So keep DTD and assess again in a couple of days. I always assume I haven't ovulated until it's 100% obvious.

Also any ladies who are charting... if you use fertility friend (the app) it tells you when you e ovulated. You can do the free app or you can pay £30ish a year and it tells you all kind of stuff... like a pregnancy monitor. It's really cool and takes some of the guess work out of it. I've attached the pregnancy monitor page... tells me so much

@Cakelaur yep the hearts are bd (some x 2 but then we lost the energy so now just x 1 a day!) and the dotted line is their prediction for future temps based on the last cycles. It's a great app, and says I should be ovulating today based on past cycles but it hasn't logged it yet because haven't had enough of a temp rise - I think it only confirms ovulation when it's 100% sure. It's the Natural Cycles app x

@Cakelaur ps thank you!! 🙃

@BabynameEdie ahh ok. That's cool that it predicts next temps. That's really clever. I love how all these apps can use previous data to confirm ovulation or previous temps. Kinda cool. Fingers crossed for ovulation soon cos all those ❤️s deserve to be met with an egg! 🤞🏻

@Cakelaur am so tempted to get fertility friend too now! But I think they're quite similar so will stick to what I know. It's so clever how it all works but does make me seriously obsessed with it - it's the first and last thing I look at each day. I think everyone here deserves a bean this cycle! Am crossing everything for you - when are you testing? 🤞

I'm gonna test tomorrow. Not sure if it's wise. But I can't wait much longer! Especially after the pink cm yesterday! Eek! So nervous, cos I really feel like it's our month!

Can I share my chart cake? Looks like I ovulated on the 30th? Would u agree? x

I’m good thanks @boboelephant I am just coming out of the calm stage. I think my FW will be starting tomorrow so I’ll be opk testing, CM checking and all other craziness associated with ovulation! I’m off work this week so feeling more relaxed as we can BD anytime (apart from when my sis arrives this weekend 🤺). BBT charts are so difficult sometimes...it’s easier to read when you’re in the future looking back at it. Keep BDing you might get a big spike in the next day or 2. How are you feeling? Are you home this weekend or are you off for 2 weeks?

@Cakelaur will be thinking of you. Don't panic if it's negative as quite early. I feel good about this month too but then I know I'll be getting my hopes up. It's so hard to remain positive but not get hopes up too high! 🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏

Actually dates are clear from that pic, but the dip is the 30 March

@weasledee I wanna say unless there was a reason for the high temps for the beginning part of the chart, I'd say you haven't ovulated yet. Now if you've been doing opks and cm monitoring then that could suggest ov on 30th. Again MCs can mess things up (which could be cause for the high temps at the beginning or if you were waking a little later than usual)

Cake I had a cold when I had the high temps :)

Haha @Claire138. Enjoy your time off and your 🤺❤! 🤣 We are back home on Friday. I wish it had been two weeks!
It's going to be so weird if I ov'd without knowing. Although now I'll obsess over the fact that we have bd'd every day since Friday but not before so could have missed it! Well temp was 0.1 higher today so we shall see. Enjoy fw!!
@Cakelaur thankyou for all your help. Definitely have continued bd'ing so hope it's enough! HAVE YOU TESTED?????
@BabynameEdie also googling fall back rise.... 🤣

Ooh @weasledee then I'd say ov is more likely to be on 30th. 👍🏻🤞🏻

Gonna say bfn. Not even a squinted

*sqinter

@Cakelaur sooo early, still time 🤞🤞
