Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 2

[Annny27]

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

Morning :) gorgeous day here today! Got my Peak Opk today :D my surges vary in length so could either ovulate today or tomorrow. Will dtd this evening:)

@SunnySideUp2020 good that you managed to dtd once atleast:D will you just track ovulation based on cm this month or will you just say its around cd17? Yeah I used the app for a bit and hated it!

@fizzl its frustrating wait for ovulation isn't it! This is an early one for me at cd12 today but sometimes its been as late as cd23 and its effort waiting haha!

@scrumdiddly123 how are your opks looking today?

Ooh good news @Annny27! Happy BD’ing 😃
It’s a beautiful day and my eldest’s birthday! 11 today, can’t believe it, I don’t feel old enough 😂
Well I’m confused as based on my BBT, FF thinks I ovulated 3 days ago! Pretty sure I didn’t though, my temp was quite high this morning but I had A LOT to drink last night celebrating VE Day so think that may have affected it. My opk this morning was the darkest it’s been and I’m having some cramp type pain which I normally get around OV so I think I might get a peak later on today or tomorrow! 🤞🏻

Hello ladies and girls :)

@annny27 enjoy the being nice to have an early ovulation

Well so CD15 here and out of curiosity I did an opk as I wasn't getting any ovulation pain and it's negative- which means that unfortunately for me it's like February and probably a delayed ovulation for cd19 instead of cd16
So I feel your pain @fizzl
It pissed me off for the day- had another breakdown when this month was supposed to be chilled but in a sense I am glad I did the opk as I was planning to dtd these days and stop and would probably have missed it completely!! Bloody cycle

@scrumdiddly I would trust your opk and dtd now!!

@ELM7 have you tested this morning??

The being @annny27
Or the BDing 😆 but you can also enjoy the being too

Still no sign on ovulation for me CD16. I used to start getting slightly stronger opk's around now with a positive by CD17. Last month it was CD19 and looking like it will be again this month as no other signs yet that ovulation is pending 🙄. @SunnySideUp2020 we're carrying on every other day for now until I get a positive. Already almost a week in now because I didn't want to risk missing ovulation incase it happened early this month (never does!).

Happy Birthday to your eldest @scrumdiddly123 hope they've had a lovely day!

Thank you @Fizzl, he had a great day! Hope you get your peak soon! How long is your LP? I don’t usually get a peak til cd 17/18 either!

I’ve had EWCM again today so that’s 5 days in a row now I’ve had it. Opk still nowhere near positive and doesn’t seem to be progressing 😕 Hopefully it’ll get darker soon

Ahh @scrumdiddly123 my LP is causing me some stress. It seems to be either 9 or 10 days which I think could be problematic. I'm trying not to worry too much yet as looking back at old cycles it seems to have always been roughly around this (usually more 10-11days) when I fell pregnant last year. How long is yours? I'm going to try acupuncture once these restrictions have been lifted if I'm not pregnant by then.

@Fizzl mine is usually 12 days. My sister struggled with a short LP and took a high dose of vit B complex and had acupuncture and that worked for her. Hopefully things like that can re start soon!

Morning everyone :) pretty sure I ovulate yesterday as my opks went from peak to high which usually indicates ovulation and the ewcm has dried up! So 1dpo today and testing after af is due only.

@scrumdiddly123 I had 5/6 days of ewcm this month and almost 7 last month! Usually its only around 3 or 4. Have you taken an opk today? Ahh happy belated birthday to your 11 year old!

@SunnySideUp2020 yep I love the cycles when ovulstion is early/ on time. Hate it when its delayed! Hopefully yours isn't too delayed this month but does mean you get a few more days of BD potential after the tests so thats a positive!

@fizzl every other day is a good plan until you get your positive:D we ended up dtd at o-2, o-1 and Ovulation day. I really cba to do it again today at o+1 haha

This mornings opk, will do another this afternoon. CD15 for me so still early for when I normally get a peak but feeling impatient this month! I suppose I just want confirmation that my cycle has gone back to normal after everything!
Really hope this is your month @Annny27, I don’t want to test until AF is late either but not sure I’ll manage it!

I've started taking a b-complex but I'm slightly nervous about it so decided I'd only take it until ovulation (which probably defeats any point of taking it). Otherwise I'd worry about whether or not I need to keep taking it once I got a BFP and if I was taking too much alongside the other meds I will be put on etc (which I'm sure isn't the case but I honestly don't know so don't want to risk it). It just seems like another worry and I can imagine I'd probably get an eye roll from the doctor if I asked their advice 😂

@Annny27 yay for ov on time/early..and welcome to the TWW. You are a couple days behind me.I’m only 3DPO still and so far as it’s the weekend it’s going fast but I’m sure this week will drag by! When are you testing? I think I’ll test early again as if I’d tested late last cycle I wouldn’t have known about CP and if happens again just want to make sure it’s recorded again so will prob test next Sunday at 10dpo.

@scrumdiddly123 that OPK looks promising! Hopefully it’s imminent!!

@SunnySideUp2020 and @Fizzl I hope ov hurries you for you, waiting for ovulation is as bad as the TWW I find and so frustrating when it’s delayed!

@ELM7 sorry it was a BFN, have you tested again yet?

👋 hello!

@annny your cycle seem to be textbook cycle this month with early ovulation!! Fingers crossed it's your month 🙂

@scrumdiddly123
Looks like it's gearing u ! How are your pregnancy test? Is the line still there??

CD16 for me and that was my opk this morning so delayed ovulation but not too far off i think
Managed to DTD this morning but nothing yesterday or day before :/
DP wants to do it when we feel like it and stop the ovulation stress and we had an argument yesterday about it as i feel we should time a little bit so we maximise the chances 😶 i dont think i am being unreasonable...

@fizzl does the b complex vitamin have side effects? How come you only take it up until ovulation??

Morning.

Hope the TWW doesn’t drag and that we see some BFP over the next couple of weeks.

@Fizzl I’ve been concerned about short LP as last few cycles (Excluding this one) have only been 9/10 days so will be interested to see if you find the b complex helps at all.

So who knows what’s happening with this months cycle. Cd29 and 13dpo and no sign of AF but after testing on Thurs I promised myself I wouldn’t test again until tomorrow at the earliest. As have had one other mth since MC that was 29days. So let’s see what the morning brings.

@SunnySideUp2020 I've not noticed any side effects but my worry is that the vitamin dosage is quite high. I take one alongside my prenatal vitamin each day. I'm only taking it up until ovulation because I can't find any clear guidance on whether your should continue after getting a BFP. I've read in some places that you should because if you stop it can cause a drop in progesterone and lead to miscarriage. But then I worry that the vitamin dose is too high and could cause some problems or interfere with the anti-clotting meds i will be on because some vitamins can. I know it would cause me extra stress and worry about whether I should be taking it or not. But I honestly don't know and I think that's why I'd feel more comfortable stopping before ovulation (but I get that there is probably no method in my madness and it's not going to help lengthen my lp doing it this way 🤦🏼‍♀️)

My opk's are still very negative today CD17 😔. I've just tested two brands at the same time (clearly bored this morning!) and they're both negative but show very different second lines!

@fizzl i get your concern- have you tried asking to a doctor about it?
But yeah if i were you i would not take past ovulation in this case

As for the different results in opk i also found it happened to me but overall when i had a positive it was positive everywhere if that makes sense... hope yours darken soon 😁

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've been on here, AF last month hit me a lot harder than I thought it would so I've taken some time away from everything.

@MilsCookie @TerribleImagination congratulations on your BFP's! Always lovely to see a positive

I'm currently CD11, ovulation predicted for yesterday and DTD every day for the four days before, on the day and will be again tonight and tomorrow just to be sure. Hopefully this is our month but we'll see what happens.

Fingers crossed for BFP's all round! Just ordered a bottle of Parma Violet gin to celebrate my second wedding anniversary and DH turned 30 yesterday as well so I still have something to celebrate if no BFP this month.

Welcome back @GlitterFairy1412

So it's peak finally at cd17 but haven't got a single pain...

How is everyone ?

Morning! Great peak @SunnySideUp2020! My opks have gone really faint again so looks like it’s going to be another couple of days for me. My pregnancy tests are negative now though 🥳 which is such a relief x

@scrumdiddly

That's good news! Finally ! I hope you can finally start having normal cycles and get on the ttc train again 👌
What cycle day are you?

Morning.

Really pleased your pregnancy tests are now negative @scrumdiddly123. Hope you get back to a normal cycle quickly to then get your BFP.

AF caught up with me yesterday so on to June I go and a Valentine due date (yes I’ve already looked 🤦🏼‍♀️) but at least my LP was longer this month so that’s good.

Hope we see some more BFP on here in the next couple of weeks. x

Sorry that AF arrived @ELM7 :( hope you treated yourself with chocolate and wine!

@sunnysideup2020 thats a nice strong positive :D will you count tomorrow as 1dpo or Wednesday?

@scrumdiddly123 I hate it when opks go nearly positive and then back low again. It gives you false hope haha

@leok83 that's a good point about testing early! I am really going to try and wait this month. I haven't got any tests at home so when AF is late (hopefully!) I will go out and buy some then.

@fizzl really hope those opks get darker soon! Mine seem to get dark really quickly goss from negative to positive in a few hours and I gave short surges so I have to test twice a day!

and welcome back @GlitterFairy1412 - so you are in tww now as well :D
