Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 2

[Annny27]

Hi ladies- setting up another thread so we can keep in touch :)

@Melds22 thank you so much... and I'm so sorry you've been feeling down... we've all been there and the last few months for me have been very up and down. It's such a hard journey to go on but I promise it will get better for you... I started bleeding with my MC on 26th November (or a week before that if I count the pale pink spotting that started on 19th Nov) and my first period started on 26th December. I hope yours comes back soon as then hopefully you'll feel like you're able to start afresh xxx

Hi Ladies hope you are all doing ok?

Coming to end of TWW and am sure AF is looming. Felt awful yesterday with cramps and the dull ache I normal have while AF is in full flow. I have taken all tests from the bathroom so that I can’t be tempted to test early without planning to do it first! 🤦🏼‍♀️ The things we do to stop the POAS addiction. RHR has gone up today but that might just be because AF is near. Oh well will find out one way or another in the next few days.

@scrumdiddly123 sorry that line won’t completely disappear but hoping it is really low now and your cycles will get back to normal quickly for you.

@SunnySideUp2020 hope the tests go well today. And that you can then get back and have some fun DTD.

Thanks @ELM7, I’m really hoping so. CD 11 and I’ve had ewcm this morning and a bit yesterday. My temp dropped this morning but this is only my first month temping so don’t know if that means anything! Opks are still really faint so who knows.
Fingers crossed that AF says away for you, well done for moving the tests! When is AF due? Will you test early or wait?
Good luck for today @SunnySideUp2020

@scrumdiddly123 sounds positive that you are getting EWCM. Roughly what CD would you normally ovulate?

Depending on what app I look at AF is due any when between Fri and Mon. But my last few cycles have been short (25/26 days) so am expecting it in the next couple of days. If AF hasn’t shown by Sat morning I’ll test.

I am cd9 and getting semi ewcm - it's nearly ewcm if you see what I mean - stretchy slippery but cloudy. So think ovulation a few days away!

I am finding dtd during fw is so much less of a chore now that we wfh so aren't tired after long commutes! :D

@SunnySideUp2020 yep I am tracking with opks this months and going to dtd every other day and then maybe a few times in a row when I get my positive opk!

@scrumdiddly123 yay for ewcm :D :D

@ELM7 rhr increase is a good sign! Qell done for not testing

@leok83 sounds like me - doing opks but not obsessing over it :D

@ELM7 all these sound very much like pregnancy symptoms!!!!! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽

Thanks ladies. He did the SA.
Results in a few hours - he is very nervous

@Annny27 @scrumdiddly123 also had lots of cm starting today CD11 so ovulation not tooooo far off for me too!
Not doing opks myself though... so we might be be cycle buddies in theory 🌈

Actually on cd12 not 11

wasn’t the strongest peak I’ve ever seen so hopefully it’s not just a LH fluctuation but It was definitely positive opk. I’ve never ovulated this early before so would be great if it really is an earlier ovulation! Had once off EWCM couple days ago but only watery since so hope that’s not going to run against us.

@Annny27 I had CM like that last cycle and this cycle. Went from that to watery this cycle but last cycle went to EWCM. Wasn’t sure what to class it as cause it wasn’t creamy either..just opaque. I’m glad I kept up the opk tho cause using CM alone is obviously not the most reliable for me and also don’t actually have a lot to tell what’s happening based on that alone.

@SunnySideUp2020 always good when you forget what day ur on in the cycle and then realise ur further than you thought😄 how did the test results go? I really hope it’s not too bad.

@Annny27 I had CM like that last cycle and this cycle. Went from that to watery this cycle

I’ve surprisingly got a peak opk today CD14, wasn’t the strongest peak I’ve ever seen so hopefully it’s not just a LH fluctuation but It was definitely positive opk. I’ve never ovulated this early before so would be great if it really is an earlier ovulation!

Oh my god sorry I’ve no idea what happened to my above post and can’t edit🙈🙈 honestly I’ve not had a drop of wine😄

@Leok83 haha 😆 it’s ok we all have these days!

Test came back similar so low morphology.
So we have an appointment with the doctor at the fertility clinic on 14th May.
We will see what can be done and if i also need to do all the tests for my tubes etc...

CD14 sounds good for ovulation!

@SunnySideUp2020 I’m sorry to hear it wasn’t better news. That’s good to have the appointment so soon though at fertility clinic and hopefully there’ll be no more bad news for you.

Ya had ovulation pains early early this morning that woke me up so reckon I’ve ovulated overnight CD15 so happy it’s early!

Morning girls :) (are we girls or ladies I never know when its age appropriate to stop saying girls 🤣)

@sunnysideup2020 We are similar points in our cycle then I am cd10 today! Opks still low and I am taking them once in morning and once in afternoon. Sorry that DPs morphology came back low again. Its crazy how you conceived first cycle even with those issues before!

@Leok83 thats one annoying thing about mums net is you can't edit your posts haha!! Ooh exciting about the positive opk!! So will you count tomorrow as 1dpo?

Which tracking apps do you all use? I currently have femometer, premom, ovia and fertility friend. FF isn't currently making any predictions other than AF. Premom and femometer are not taking any previous data into account and every month predicts ov around cd12, when every month I've ovulated cd 18/19/20.

Ovia appears to be the only app that actually takes my cycles into account and pretty accurately predicts my fertile week. Anyone else found any issues?

@Annny27 I know it’s so annoying!! I had been copying as I went cause have lost what I was writing a couple of times before but obviously was pasting away as I went without knowing as well 😂
Ya I’ll be counting tomorrow as 1 DPO. It’s worked out well cause have been off this week so like you DTD hasn’t been as much of a chore when not having to go into work..and I think DH was feeling the pressure of me telling him when I’d ovulated last cycle so this time I only told him after DTD as he was expecting it to be this weekend.

Hi all 😃 sorry I've been a bit quiet these past few days works been a bit manic and then I've found myself addicted to normal people and needed to watch the whole 12 episodes in 2 days. It's brilliant if anyone hasn't watched it, I found myself strangely invested in the whole story. It was a welcome distraction which has been good 😂.

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry the results weren't great. I know it's not much consolation right now but like Anny has pointed out, you have been pregnant before so it's possible and hopefully it will happen soon. Try to stay positive. You're doing all the right things tho and it's great you've got an appointment so soon.

@Leok83 that's a good sign that you've ovulated at CD14. I'm on CD13 now and no signs of anything happening yet. Opk's are very negative. Have you done anything this month to bring it forward? I've stuck with yoga and I'm feeling really good and chilled this month so hoped that might make a difference 😂 when in reality I think it's just normal for me to ovulate late and no matter how chilled I'm feeling, it ain't gona change!

@Ejb86 you sound like me with all the apps! I like different ones for different things but I'm not very good at putting the data in all of them so I can't really comment on their accuracy but they're all roughly predicting within a few days of each other. I like FF for charts and stats. I like premom for reading opk's and I've just always had glow so that has all my old cycles from last year etc logged in it.

@Fizzl I started watching that last night and it’s really good! But watched the first 2 episodes and then realised hadn’t recorded the next 2,so have to watch it on catch up at the weekend..was so annoyed!! Can’t seem to get them here before they’re released (in Ireland so must be behind the UK) but I can def see how you binge watched😄
I didn’t do much different this month at all..not sure if the chemical preg had anything to do with it but thought that would have delayed it rather than brought it forward.

@Ejb86 I use FF mainly but I don’t really go by any of the predictions as they do tend to change a bit cycle to cycle anyways. I do find FF the most accurate for predictions, with premom and femometer being a bit off. I use premom to score opks and femometer for my thermometer but transfer the temp to FF then. Odd FF not giving you predictions.

@Ejb86 I use Femometer as it reads the OPKs and also use Flo.

Have noticed this cycle that Femometer has just automatically moved when period is due based on being 14dpo rather than how many days my average cycle is. So this month do have a difference on when AF Is expected to arrive between the 2 apps of 3 days (which in TWW feels like 3 years 😂)

Morning, how are we all? Anyone getting close to OV?
CD 13 today and just had loads of blood tinged EWCM. I had the same last month on the same day I got a peak opk. No idea why! This mornings opk is still faint, will do another this afternoon.
@Ejb86 I have all the apps you listed but religiously use FF and then premom to record my opks. I find they all vary massively with predictions for fertile window etc!

Morning Ladies.

So I caved this morning and tested. Cd27/11dpo and a stark white BFN. I know it could be too early and that until AF arrives I’m not out but actually feel better now that I’ve taken a test as have been obsessing all week so at least I can chill and enjoy the long weekend now.

AF could be due any when from yesterday to Sunday so if no sign by Mon I’ll test again but will try and forget about it until then.

Cramps have stopped but still got a bit of lower back ache and sore boobs so we will wait and see what happens next but think I will be trying again for a June BFP!

Hope you are all having fun DTD in your lead up to OV.

Have a lovely weekend x

evening girls:) had this today so its nearly peak so will probably peak tomorrow!

@@Ejb86 my apps are always a bit off but I use femometer and clue :)

@ELM7 sorry that it is a bfn! But as you say it is still quite early. Still sucks to see stark white though!

@scrumdiddly123 I am nearly ready to ovulate I think! Cd11 for me so will probably actually ovulate on cd13. Did you take an opk today?

@fizzl I just started watching normal people too! On episode 2 only but its so good! Really liking it so far. I am gonna start the yoga tomorrow I think hopefully make me less anxious haha

@Leok83 1dpo then for you :D good luck for the rest of the awful tww!

@SunnySideUp2020 have you been able to dtd now that the test is done?

@elm sorry it was bfn- your symptoms do sound like early pregnant so hopefully by 13dpo you get a bfp

@annny we did yesterday only and today he needed a break because apparently giving the sample was challenging :-/ so he was a bit sore lol
But we are back at it tomorrow and for the two days after as I am on CD14- although sign of ovulation whatsoever 😅

I have just switched to MN app and it's not great!!! Can't tag people 😕

@Annny27 just saw the pic , that s a ni e strong opk!!

I don't miss them at all but wonder if I ovulate or not

@Leok83 ah that's so annoying! We have all the episodes available on i player over here so was able to watch them all.

@scrumdiddly123 I should be ovulating soon. CD15 for me now. No signs yet tho!

@ELM7 it is still early days but I find doing tests early help me prepare myself slowly for AF arriving as I get it in my head that the negative test means I'm out (which obviously at 11 dpo isn't the case, it's all psychological for me)

@Annny27 that's a very strong looking opk! Mine are still very faint so not expecting anything until CD17-18 again now. I've really enjoyed getting back into yoga. I've done a bit most days even if it's just 15-20minutes and I am feeling a lot more zen! That might be because life in general just feels more chilled at the minute 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Ooh looking good @Annny27! I’ve taken two opks today and both quite faint. I don’t normally OV til CD 17/18 so still early for me!

Sorry it was negative @ELM7 but glad it’s meant you can relax a bit this weekend! And you never know may have just been too early!
