TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

[L1zz13]

New thread 🐧🐧

@HidCat I'm glad you are looking forward to the new cycle. Hope it's the one for you.
@Lilimum4 try and keep yourself busy for the next week and then you should know a bit more with the scan too.
@Mistymeow hmm that's tough. Are you taking your temps at the same time each day after at least 3 hours uninterrupted sleep? It could be a similar issue that your body has geared up for ovulation but hasn't completed the process. I'd keep the dtd and temping. It's probably still coming. MC can definitely affect cycles! Sending hugs also. We've also been ttc for 18 months with EP and MMC and it's just horrendous.
@hayleyfx woohoo. Fx for tomorrow!
@sweetpea0318 thanks! We're cycle twins. Fx for both of us!
@Cakelaur so glad your scan went well! I think DH defi deserves some celebration sex tonight!! ❤👍Hope to be joining you on the other side soon!
@DaisyMay25 so sorry you're having pains. How awful. Hope they find the cause soon.
@Lovemysparkle hello! Ooh your wedding is so close! So exciting!!
@KnitKitty thanks so much hun!!
@littleemma1 enjoy the pouncing! I hope you're not ttc for long enough for the obsessing to start!
@strawberrye thanks hun. Sending hugs! I know how tough it is- hope you've got some good support IRL.
@Laney79 woohoo!!!! So glad it's stopped and you got some loving finally!!! I'm so happy for you! You've just had a shit time. Enjoy your holiday and jks!!!
@RedRobin7 haha MN medal! He'll love that. 😂 Glad DH has been a little on board, hopefully he's up for a bit more. The opk is hard as it depends how quickly your surge happens. It's not positive so probably will be more than a day but it is fertile time so dtd can't hurt! Especially as you are most fertile 2 days before ovulation.
@TedLife i wouldn't stress hun. Most people have some level of LH all the time so some people will get faint lines all through their cycle. That's why on IC the line has to be as dark or darker than test line. I usually start opks on day 8 and always have a faint line. It gets darker and sometimes lighter and then steadily darker a few days before ov. This month I had a faint line at day 8 and a positive on day 17. Keep testing but I reckon you're still a while away.
@L1zz13 I'm so sorry. That sounds very hard. Maybe you and DH need to seek some counselling together to process the MC.

Thank you for all your continued support ladies. You really are the most amazing bunch of women. I have everything crossed that you can all join me in the more cake for more babies thread!!!

Sometimes have trouble keeping up with this thread it moves so fast!
@cakelaur congratulations on a fab scan hope you are feeling a bit better soon too.

@laney79 so glad to hear the bleeding has stopped and got can hopefully enjoy your holiday jks!

@l1zz13 sorry you are having a tough time as others have said maybe some counselling together would help. Take care x

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

@Cakelaur can you post a link to the more cake for more babies thread as I can't find it!

Wonderful news cake so pleased! You'll have to give baby the middle name "marathon" in recognition of your efforts!!

@maxiflump1 here you go babe...

More cake for more babies... BFP after MCwww.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/3270588-more-cake-for-more-babies-bfp-after-mc

@weasledee mine may have a middle name as marathon but @Boboelephant with have to give the first name Marathon!! Haha!! Nailed it with 12 days straight!! Hero!! 😂

Hi ladies, going to take a jump headfirst into the middle of the huddle. Bleeding today which I think is not really AF as I prob didn’t ovulate but feels like it- if you see what I mean. This was expected so not too disappointed-although of course there’s always that hope... the bummer is I think this puts me out for next cycle too as fw is now likely to coincide with me being away with work for 5 days. Everything is clearly still a bit unsettled after mc though do I’ll just have to wait and see.

BUT @laney79 SO bloody pleased things have finally settled for you. Enjoy the rest of your hols and being back on the ttc mission.

Congrats on your scan @cakelaur. I always find seeing scan pics difficult but so so pleased for you.

@ek78 so sorry Hun. 🐧🐧🐧🐧

Haha @Cakelaur! Let's see if it works first!! 🤞🤞

@ek78 🐧🐧 into the middle with you 🐧🐧

Well AF arrived this morning after a 24 day cycle, WTF? Looks like my cycles are other post MC too @ek78, I think this may have been an anovulatory cycle too, hugs. Onto next cycle and really hoping fertile window doesn't clash with my nights because it's looking like July's fertile window is the exact week when DH is across the other side of the world with work!

Lovely scan @cakelaur

Thats mean to say my cycles are out, not other!

I got another big temp dip today. That's 3 days after the positive opk and I take my temp the same time every morning, I think it's another anovulatory cycle. It coincided with a text from my friend telling me all about her new baby and I did shed a tear :(

@Mistymeow it could be a fallback rise. Don't panic just yet. Are you using FF?

@Cakelaur congrats hun ! Such a beautiful picture - really happy for you! I almost shed a tear at the scan- it's just so magical when it works out!! Fx for all of us here that we will be joining you soon!

@Laney79 so happy to hear things have finally cleared up for you! You had such a tough time and you deserve to enjoy that stunning beach! Sun sea and sex!!!

@strawberrye I also just had a 25day cycle - 3rd AF after my last MC, so odd ! Thought things would start regulating by now!

I am cd10 and my cb digital OPK is still showing me a blank circle...🙄 oh well we are still JKS anyway just wanna see that smiley face! I'm only 2 days into this and already the impatience has started to creep.... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hugs to you too @strawberrye and @mistymeow! Sorry to hear you both might be having an anovolutary cycle as well, so frustrating isn’t it! AND annoying that an early AF throws off all of our plans. Fingers crossed we all get more regular cycles this time. @mistymeow so sorry it coincided with that text too. This stuff is so hard.

Thanks @cakelaur I hadn't heard of a fall back rise (just googled)

I've attached my chart if anyone more experienced than me could take a quick look please? I didn't chart from cd1 as I was away and I usually have 24/25 cycles (FF expected me to o cd12 and I had positive opks cd10 and cd11 ). I do temp at the same time every morning but it doesn't look right to me. I've had one af since mmc.

Thanks @ek78 the support on this thread really helps xx

@strawberrye sorry af got you.
@zarala JKS!!!! 😂
@Mistymeow i am not an expert but looks to me like you haven't ovulated yet. Today's dip could be your pre-ov dip and possibly ovulation day. I know you said you temp the same time but those circles on your chart rather than dots mean that the time you are recording them are more than 30 min apart. Are you temping and then recording them onto FF later? My cycles have been different lengths and I've ovulated on a different day every cycle since MC so it's possible your cycle is a bit out and you'll have a longer cycle. I'd be interested to see what your chart does for the next few days.

Thanks ladies for all the good wishes. I feel so much better! I think being able to JKS helps!!!

Have been doing ic opks but I do have a clear blue digital opk pack with me...instructions say to not pee for at least 4 hours (very difficult at the mo due to drinking buckets in the heat!) - so would I be ok using fmu? Never used CB before. The ic cheapies I'm doing in the afternoon around 5/6pm.

@Cakelaur what a gorgeous pic! So pleased for you.

@Mistymeow @ek78 @strawberrye I didn't even know what an anovulatory cycle was-googled now-sorry to hear you are experiencing it. Our bodies really are Sod's at times eh?

@Cakelaur FF changed my ov day from cd17 to cd18 this morning. Totally stupid to be disappointed as I suspected it was 18 anyway but now I feel like groundhog day on 3dpo again. 😫 Temp is rising like a dream but also a bit convinced it must be the progesterone cream!

Urgh, big fat whiter than white negative on 10DPO and the usual AF cramps starting too.

I'm exceedingly close to packing in the TTC thing as the gap between the youngest is getting bigger and I'm getting NO younger...... :(

Taking a turn on the outside of the huddle today, I can see a few of you are in need of a huddle cuddle. Tight hugs

I hope you all have a good day.

My period is definitely stopping after only 5 days which is very unusual for me, but not complaining.

Does the length of time you bleed for affect your cycle length at all, does anyone know?
I believe I usually ovulate around CD16-18. Should I be expecting to ovulate a bit earlier this month do you think?
I don't do OKPs or temping so will JKS anyway and see what happens.
Not really feeling like this month is going to be it for me for some reason, but right now it's helping me stay chilled about everything and not feeling too bad.

Can't remember who recommended it, but started Headspace yesterday and had a very chilled day which has done me the world of good.

@Boboelephant thanks for the response. Yes I take temp between 7 and 7:30am but I do sometimes record it a bit later, I'll stop doing that though because I think I'm confusing the app! I suspect you're right about the longer cycle. Sorry to hear yours are also not settled yet. I'm going away on holiday on Saturday to the US so I reckon temp will go crazy!

@Laney79 yeah it totally sucks, but I guess it could still come late. And body is obviously just not quite ready yet, so I have to accept that.

@KnitKitty thanks for the virtual hug! What's Headspace, is it an app?

Haha @Boboelephant im def JKS ! But I need to use opks so I know when to start taking my pills! (Have to start on ovulation until 10dpo when I have to test) otherwise I wouldn't be bothering ! But! Now that i am checking for ovulation I'm starting to feel things I never did before! Knowing too much about our cycles is dangerous!
Oh those pre-mc days were so blissful...

And oooh! Hope those temps keep rising for you!!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

@KnitKitty I'm not sure
But I had a 7 day period in April and that cycle was 30 days then I had a 3 day period in may and that cycle ended up being only 25 days! Coincidence?? Maybe...?!
