TTC, need some support who’s with me?

[Claire78564]

So I’m trying to conceive and have been since November. I sadly miscarried in Feb and had my first cycle last month. I’ve just ovulated or so I think...got a positive result on saturday and have been busy dtd quite a bit. I guess I’m 1dpo maybe 2. Fingers crossed this is our month. How is everyone else getting on?

Aw :( it’s annoying because it takes so long for the next opportunity compared to men who are ready straight away! Try not to be too down it could still be too early and I this isn’t your month then maybe May will be xx

@Claire78564 how are you getting on? What CD are you on now?
I had my CD21 results back today and progesterone levels were 40 so really happy to hear I am ovulating okay!

Hiya, I’m cd12 should ovulate (I hope) around day 17. Really happy for you :) it’s a good sign! So is this the first time you have ovulated in a while since using contraception? I went to the doctors yesterday and had s brief discussion about fertility...she said psychologically some women don’t fall pregnant after a miscarriage until the due date passes! I really hope that’s not me plus I don’t see any grounding in what she said So taking it with a pinch of salt. Been thinking I should try looking at ways to improve my uterine lining just incase...but hey there goes the old brain thinkin too much again! How are you feeling? How many days past ov Are you?

Xx

@Claire78564 that's good! Are you going to use OPK's this month too?
I'm not really sure to be honest, I think I may have been ovulating other months too but just wanted to get it doubled checked due to the light periods. I was also things about ways to thicken/improve lining and think I am going to stock up on pomegranate juice! Someone also mentioned to me vitamin B and iron supplements so might be worth looking into...anything to make this happen! I'm feeling quite positive after docs today with there not being any problems he could see. I'm on CD30 now and don't really have any symptoms but if no AF in a couple of days then I think I will do a test (if I'm brave enough - feel so depressed after seeing BFN!)
I think the psychological aspect of your due date may be a little OTT, so I think you're definitely right to take that with a pinch of salt! x

Yeah it sounds like it’s just taken a bit of time for your body to regulate but it’s great you are ovulating :) fingers crossed for you and the BFP turns up! How light are you periods? I’ve been drinking pomegranate juice. Also heard that vitamin e is good xx

They are ridiculous. Like only 2 days of spotting and only need pants liners. Asked about this on another thread and for some people doesn't seem to be an issue with getting BFP's so I'm hoping that is the case for me! I'll have everything crossed for you this month, you are doing all the right things! x

@Claire78564 I actually can't believe it! 15DPO today and I really wasn't feeling any symptoms. Slightly more cm than usual and some dull cramping but that was it. I'm so happy! 😊 xx

Congratulations :) happy for you! Xxx

@Claire78564 thank you so much. Keep looking at the text stick to double check 😂
How are you getting on? I'm not going to disappear and still here for you if you want to chat x

Thanks :) just out of curiosity how often did you bd? I’m alright not feeling optimistic about this cycle just feel like it’s never gonna happen. OPKs are starting to get darker x

We actually went a bit overboard and did it everyday (7days in a row) on week leading up to ovulation. Don't know if that has contributed to BFP this month but I know some say every other day is better for sperm.
It will happen. Don't lost faith. It's just taking much longer than you want it to. x

@rudyroo!! Just checked on the boards after a little break and saw this! Congratulations you must be thrilled xx

Thank you @Beddie11 still in shock I think! Just want to get passed these initial few weeks so I can get properly excited. How are you getting on? Has anything changed for you?

But yeah super happy xx

@rubyroo yeah i can imagine the first few weeks are filled with anxiety, but try and relax! Have u had any symptoms?
Yessss,i got my period! Finally after nearly 5months off the pill, so im very happy xx

Congrats on the period 😊 now you can really start trying XX

@Beddie11 yaaas! That so good, I'm really pleased for you. Hopefully you'll be able to keep a track of things from now on. Are you going to try OPK's this month?
Yeah boobs are bigger and seem firmer! Very sleepy, keep falling asleep when watching tv (annoying!) Some dull cramps every now and again but nothing major. And keep needing to pee but then do pee a lot anyway so this may not be one 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

@claire78564 thanks! Ive never been so thrilled to see AF lol! How r u getting on?x

@rudyroo, sorry to hear your suffering alittle, its all for a good cause though, do u know roughly how many weeks you are? When do u see a midwife for the first time, or have u already? I dont know how these things work lol. I dont think im gonna do opks, i think for this first cycle im just gonna be quite chill about it and see if i can be one of the lucky ones and get caught first cycle 😁 i may try bbt though next month xx

Ah enjoy the symptoms as much as you can all a good sign for a good pregnancy :)

I’m coming up to ovulation. No positive opk yet but doing it every day to increase chances. Just worried I’m gonna stress too much and it will affect it...we shall see

@Beddie11 yeah definitely. In a way these things are quite nice as it's a reminder that it's actually real! I think I am about 5 weeks, going to make an appt with GP today so hopefully I can get an appointment this week before we go away on holiday at the weekend! I'm actually this same, no idea what happens next and it's all so new to me!
Well that's a good healthy approach for you and you are probably right just to take it easy in the beginning. Peeing on sticks does become a little bit obsessive. xx

@Claire78564 yeah exactly ☺️ feeling quite anxious incase anything bad happens but I think it's just in my nature to be a worrier unfortunately. How many weeks were you when you had your mc?
I'm not sure how much stress affects things to be honest. I've been generally feeling quite stressed the last couple of months and it still happened. I probably need to try and chill out now but easier said than done! Keep DTD and I so have everything crossed for you this month xx

Aw lovely it is a relief to catch and I’m sure all will be good for you. I was 6 week, enjoy your holiday and try not to worry too much it will prob do you some good to get away. Xxx

Morning, so I’ve had positive OPKs now for the last few days...but more EWCM than usual and been BDing everyday for the last 6 days...hope it’s not too much! Started temping and had s dip on the 17th but no positive OPK until the 19th...its all very confusing @rudyroo how did you find the BBt? Doesn’t it indicate implantation and what not for you? Hope you good xxx

@Claire78564 that's one of the first things I noticed, more cm than usual. I marked it down as a 'symptom' but then told myself to stop being ridiculous as I was probs my just over analysing. So this is definitely a good sign for you! I think once a day for the BD is good, worked for us anyway 😁
Can't help too much with the BBT as I have up just after I ovulated as it was stressing me out. I'll send you a pic of what I did though but probably won't be very helpful! I think you normally do get a did before you ovulate though so your sounds about right? How many DPO are you now? xx

So I ovulated on the 18th according to OPKs
