Found the new thread! Hopefully won't be on much more of these! I can't believe how lucky this month has been!

hayleyfx · 12/04/2018 14:00

@Claire138 PMA = positive mental attitude! 🙂 Hope you can get ovulation confirmed soon! I’m distracting myself as much as possible but oh wow is it hard 🤦‍♀️😂
@Cakelaur hopefully we can all join you soon!! I’m loving all these BFP’s and positivity!
@Laney79 so sorry you’re still waiting, it’s so hard. I hope it’s over soon for you and you’ll be back to TTC in no time. Hugs x
@dulwichdays I understand how you feel. This is cycle 4 for me since MC and I’ve been worrying myself, reading online that if you conceive within 6 months of MC then you’re less likely to have another! So now I’m like oh crap. 🤦‍♀️ I shouldn’t google this stuff lol! Feeling much more positive this month though, just in my head keep telling myself well it’s got to happen soon!! And if it doesn’t I’ll indulge in some wine and cocktails 😉

This month must be a lucky month and I have a feeling there are more BFP’s yet to come... fingers crossed Grin

Boboelephant · 12/04/2018 14:02

@TimeWaitsForNoWoman I too am obsessive now! So much so that my first thought when I read your post was 'go and get it out of the bin!!'

@boboelephant I have only just started using FF so I had to do a big transfer from my last app so I’m still trying to get used to FF and also I haven’t been filling everything in properly, such as the times. I think I’ll just have to sit tight and see what the next couple of days do. I’m pretty sure I have ovulated because I’ve had my positive opk on Sunday, had the ewcm before temp shift and cramps on Tuesday, my opks turned back to negative too but I just wish my temps would reflect this a bit clearer. Aw who knows!

TimeWaitsForNoWoman · 12/04/2018 14:04

@Boboelephant Ha ha, I so would have done, but I shoved in all of the other tests from the last week at the same time and didn't label so I can't! Will definitely upload tomorrow's. Meanwhile, I reckon I'm going to have some wine tonight to relax me!

zarala · 12/04/2018 14:16

@PetraRabbit hi I'm sorry you find yourself here. It's really an awful experience and that biological tick took is a bitch!

I had an ERPC at 12 weeks - foetus had stopped growing at 9 weeks
I didn't have any bleeding before the ERPC and I didn't have any bleeding whatsoever afterwards- the doctor said it's normal and varies a lot.
I did manage to conceive straight after but unfortunately I had another MMC - found it at 8 weeks- foetus had stopped growing at 6 weeks. The doctor said it had nothing to do with conceiving straight away- so don't let this put you off if that what you feel you want to do.
I ovulated exactly 5 weeks after the first ERPC- but again that can vary from person to person.

Wishing you best of luck with everything !

@Boboelephant Thanks! But really hoping this is your month too!!!

@Laney79 - sorry it's dragging! It's horrible

@hayleyfx Definitely stop googling! I literally had 3 back to back MCs in the space of 6 months so all of that sounds rubbish to me! . But I think I am a very very rare case...lucky me..,.we just have to remain positive and it will happen for us when it is supposed to! Good luck!!!!

Boboelephant · 12/04/2018 14:41

@Claire138 I'm sure the next few days will clear it up. Sounds like you have. I actually changed two of my holiday temps so ff would recognise my ov as I was 4dpo and impatient. Then later I changed them back and it still says I ovulated same day. And it's really clear on my chart now.
@TimeWaitsForNoWoman fingers crossed and enjoy your wine!
@zarala thanks. Me too!!! Hopefully next week finally brings me some good news!

Hi ladies sorry I had some time out to get my shit together. Shit still not together but hey ho. Found this new thread. So popped in to say hi. I have a appointment on the 25th. Looking forward but equally dreading. I assume the first app will be form filling but it’s a step.
Please can someone give me a run down of what’s happened. Saw a few congrats for @cakelaur did you get a bfp. Any more bfp?

Boboelephant · 12/04/2018 14:55

Hey @Primrose16 glad to hear you're ok and glad you have an appointment soon. Hopefully you'll get some answers.
It's been a crazy 2 days or so with 5 bfps!
@Cakelaur, @Martydog, @peachesarenom, @Beck1988 and @xLeanne128 👍👍
The rest of us are hoping to join soon!!!

Flipping eck that’s bloody brilliant. Congrats all.
And good luck to anyone testing.
We not trying at mo. Think I need to wait to see if anything comes if appointments.

Martydog · 12/04/2018 15:04

👋 found the new thread

hayleyfx · 12/04/2018 15:29

@zarala oh I know!! Googling stuff like this literally never helps lol. I’m not allowing myself to google anything else TTC related this month, nope 🙅😂 also so sorry for what you have been through, that’s so tough. Good luck to you too!
@Primrose I’m glad you’re doing okay! I hope your appointments go well. Good luck 🙂

Cakelaur · 12/04/2018 17:21

@PassTheAfterEights yup. BFP!! You missed loads of them!!! There's about 6 or 7 of us in the last couple of days!!!

BabynameEdie · 12/04/2018 17:26

Phew so glad I found you all!
Thanks for advice re opk @Boboelephant @Cakelaur . Am super grumpy tho as we DTD about twice a day for 5 days, then once a day for 3 or 4 as I thought I would ovulate over a week ago. and now hubby has a stomach bug just as I'm ovulating. Temp soared this morn to 1 degree more than yesterday?! What is going on?! Managed to bd last night but I can't force him when he's this ill! I am so grumpy it's unbelievable!! Sorry. Rant over.
Is it possible to ovulate this late compared to normal cycle? So bizarre.

Boboelephant · 12/04/2018 17:42

@BabynameEdie don't worry hun, the prime time to bd is before ovulation and day of. If your temp jumped 1 degree today then ovulation day was yesterday and today is 1dpo. The best time is 2 days before, day before and day of ovulation so sounds like you covered all bases! The 3 days before that are fertile too. Once the egg releases you have 12-24 more hours. If you ovulated yesterday you probably won't be fertile tonight anyway so let DH rest and spew in peace! No idea what causes delayed ovulation but apparently it's very normal- just happened to me! Good luck and welcome to the tww!

BabynameEdie · 12/04/2018 17:49

@Boboelephant I don't know where I'd be without you guys on here. Thank you..sorry that was such a rant! Sadly our mega marathon was over a week ago now so all that energy feels a bit wasted. Natural cycles app saying ovulation now due tomorrow! I think we need a crystal ball to help with all this!

However I've just caught up on the last 24 hrs posts and wow there are so many bfps! Am so happy and it gives me so much hope so please don't stop posting as personally I love to hear positive stories!

@Boboelephant how far into tww are you?

Boboelephant · 12/04/2018 17:57

@BabynameEdie rant away! I felt a bit the same after our holiday shag a thon and then only ovulated when we got home! But I think it's important that your sex life doesn't just become about ttc and neglected the other 3 weeks of the month so maybe it's a good thing! It's definitely gotten more difficult to keep it spontaneous the longer we've been trying. I would definitely trust your temp more than your app as they tend to jump around and change days. So even if you missed some of last week you got ovulation day which is a good one.
I am 5dpo and it feels like forever until testing time!!

strawberrye · 12/04/2018 18:05

Just jumping on this thread to join in with the rest of you TWWers, hoping we all get our BFPs this month too!

Hello @PassTheAfterEights nice to see you back!

BabynameEdie · 12/04/2018 18:05

@Boboelephant yes you're right & it's not actually wasted energy but you know what I mean..it's just so frustrating! However I am massively relieved that I'm ovulating finally! V similar month to yours it sounds like.
Oooh well done for keeping patient! It'll be testing time v soon. My fingers are crossed for everyone still left to test this month.
Any symptoms?!

Boboelephant · 12/04/2018 18:13

@BabynameEdie I totally know what you mean!! Had the exact same thoughts! But I was also glad that I was temping because otherwise I would have assumed I ovulated the week before and probably been resting read no sex and totally missed fw!
Not sure I am being patient but thanks! I have sore boobs which I often have after ovulation but they do feel different. As if the pain is coming from the inside. Keep getting mild cramps at night and odd twinges in the day and I am unbelievably gassy! 🙈 Must be a joy to live with! 🤣 I'm quietly optimistic but also scared as I was last month too and that was a bfn.

SerenaOverjoyed · 12/04/2018 18:21

PetraRabbit I'm so sorry for you loss.

On trying again I understand that there is no clinical reason to wait until your period (other than it makes dating easier if you do concieve), that being said I think after my mc in March I ovulated early 4ish days after the bleeding stopped and I blame this for my current pregnancy being assessed as unviable. But then that's likely to just be me!

Laney I'm sorry you're still in limbo Flowers I think I'll join you in lurking until this mc is through and I can hope to join in on the wave of bfps

BabynameEdie · 12/04/2018 18:21

Hi @strawberrye I'm with you on the tww now, finally! Had a long wait for ovulation this month. Am not hopeful as mistimed FW so got the bd schedule all wrong & now hubby is ill. But fingers still crossed!
@Boboelephant sounds like good symptoms to be having. I just 'felt' pregnant when I was, and am yet to feel that convinced again. There's nothing more we can do! I'm being quietly optimistic is a v good plan! Xx

PassTheAfterEights · 12/04/2018 19:39

Haha thanks @boboelephant wasn't so much humorous as a complete basket case last month, POAS for a BFN in DH's granny's bathroom during his birthday tea was a TTC low point. Sobered up now ;)

Can't believe all this wond-air news, fan-fking-tastic all of you, @cakelaur so delighted for you x

We're going to have to mesh your grads thread with the - er - vacant ovens thread to keep in touch with y'all!!

waves @claire138 & @strawberryeye where you at in 2ww mate? good to see you! 9dpo here, stable, for now...

ah it's good to be back, huge love thread 19 xx

Sloeberrygin · 12/04/2018 20:00

@SerenaOverjoyed I'm so sorry, I hope you're doing as ok as you can be Flowers
@PetraRabbit I'm so sorry for your loss, it's so hard. I was told there's no medical reason to wait, so if you're feeling emotionally ready to try again you could.
