Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 2

[Annny27]

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

Hey ladies, been away from here for a while, massive congratulations to @MilsCookie & @TerribleImagination that’s brilliant! So pleased for you!!

& @scrumdiddly123 yay on the negatives & getting back into the swing 🤞🏻 For TTC

My missed miscarriage & medicated journey seems to have really messed with my system meaning I’ve Now had 3 lots of AF bleeds (like 3 days worth of bleeding) in 9 weeks, the last one being 4 days & right when I thought I was coming into my fertile week so it messed up my head all over again. Each time a week of if not bleeding, gearing up for it to be “a normal cycle” then BAM bleeding again. I just keep being told it can be normal but I’m just hoping it’s over now.

Everything crossed that we can all get good news in June for those of us TTC 🤞🏻💕

@Annny27 i will count wednesday as 1 dpo

@ELM7 sorry AF got you lovely, hope you are okay! I always look up due date :) fingers crossed for your valentine day baby x

Thank you so much @GlitterFairy1412 and @Minster2012!

Wow @Annny27 your TWW came around quickly again! Glad to see you got your peak today too @SunnySideUp2020 and I'm sure yours are just around the corner @Fizzl and @scrumdiddly123.

Keeping everything crossed for everyone this cycle! Good luck for testing on Sunday @Leok83 xxx

How are you @milscookie???

@SunnySideUp2020 I spoke with a gp a few weeks ago about my concern that somethings not right with my lp but I got the usual your bodies been through a lot, give it 6months and relax etc so not sure I'm brave enough to ring back now asking for advice on self medicating myself with vitamins 😂 I'm not sure they would know either to be fair. I'd probably be better paying to see a fertility specialist privately but not sure I can justify it yet.

Still no sign of ovulation for me! Really strange. I'm feeling a lot more chilled and the yoga seems to be helping but I think my ovaries have also gone a bit zen! I'm usually the same @Annny27 and my positive (or almost positive) usually just appears but last month was a bit strange with two days going between high and low before it finally decided it was a peak reading! Because im at home, I'm finding myself peeing on the bloody sticks every time I go to the bathroom too to make sure I don't miss it 😂. I'd usually see a change in my cm by now too but nothing! Starting to wonder if this is going to be a cycle where I don't ovulate 🤔

Hi @MilsCookie hope you're doing ok!

Welcome back @GlitterFairy1412 it's a good idea to have something to look forward to! We all seem to be doing this now on here, and it's usually alcohol! Me and DH had originally said a few months ago if we weren't pregnant again by our due date in June we'd treat ourselves to a nice holiday abroad somewhere but those plans have been scuppered so I'll just keep looking forward to my wine for now!

@ELM7 sorry af arrived. That is good news about your lp tho! I'm really hoping mine is longer this month but not feeling too hopeful seeing as I've not ovulated yet! Here's hoping for a 35 day cycle instead of 28-29days!

@scrumdiddly123 glad to see your tests are finally negative!

@Annny27 I am in TWW yeah, still DTD over the end of my predicted ovulation days just in case 🤞 done it plenty of times since the start of my cycle to cover all bases, taking the TWW slow now. I refuse to do a test until AF counts as completely missed for me 🤞 baby dust to everyone as always!

Gah I've got some brown spotting when I wipe. Any ideas what this is?! I've never had it before and combined with my lack of ovulation so far I'm a little worried! Trying to speak with GP 😞

@Fizzl I started brown/pink spotting today but with cramps I'm on CD 24 of a 27 day cycle.ast month I spotted for 5 days before my actual AF which really got me down just hoping it's not happening again as felt like AF went on forever including spotting it was 12 days in total and when AF showed up it was agony. Maybe it's out bodies sorting themselves out. I spoke to GP and had tests for an infection but they came back clear, hope it settles for you xx

@fizzl only one time I have ever had a random bit of spotting (well apart from just before my period) and it was one day mid cycle a few years ago. I went to gp and she said it was normal and not an issue unless it happens frequently!

@SunnySideUp2020 yayyy for the peak 🙌🙌🙌

@GlitterFairy1412 thats good that you have covered all bases! Yes let's try and relax this tww 🤞

@MilsCookie yep I had early ovulation for once :D I have been keeping up with tour pregnancy on the graduates thread! Can't wait till I can join you all on there 🤞🤞🤞💝💝💝

@Minster2012 hopefully your cycles return to normal soon. Its horrible being in limbo

@Dipsy77 I've not ovulated yet so can't be my period making an early appearance (at least I hope not anyway 😬)

@Annny27 that's helped put my mind at rest. There were no gp appointments left earlier so I was asked to ring back tomorrow but now my immediate panic has gone I don't think I'm going to bother. I've not had anymore spotting this evening so think it was probably just one of those things (I don't want to become that person who rocks up for every little thing because then I don't think they will take me seriously!). But if af arrives again this month I'm going back to the gp because of my gut feeling that something isn't quite right. I'll add the late ovulation random mid-cycle spotting to my list to my list of niggles!

@MilsCookie thank you! How are you feeling??

@scrumdiddly123 delighted to hear youve finally got a negative! Must give you some relief.🤞for this cycle now!

@ELM7 I’m sorry AF came. Hopefully next cycle will be the lucky one.

@Fizzl sorry ur cycle is giving you grief, I hope you ov soon. I know how you feel about the GP though. I’m the same. The time I was spotting before ovulation coincided with the few days before shutdown and I called GP to cancel as I wasn’t an emergency but she actually told me to come in earlier to be sure i got my swab in in case the labs stopped taking them so she didn’t seem to think I was overreacting so I think if you feel somethings off definitely go to them. At the end of the day you do know your body better than anyone.

@SunnySideUp2020 & @GlitterFairy1412 yay for ovulation! Welcome back to the TWW!

@Fizzl I meant to say too my swab came back clear and no spotting since then just in case you are worried though so hopefully as Annny27 says it’s normal😊

@Fizzl had once pinkish spotting mid cycle and it was just before ovulation
How are the opk s today?

Morning girls :) 3dpo now and I have been listening to "fertile from the soul" positive affirmations which have helped the calmness!

@Leok83 how's the tww going?

@sunnysideup2020 have you managed to DTD since your peak? 🤞

@fizzl yeah if your luteal phase is a little off this month then might be a good idea to go to GP just for your peace of mind 💗

Morning!

@annnny is it on youtube?

We dtd yesterday once
I have been having some ovulation pain since early morning and my opk is still peak as you can see
So femometer has put ovulation tomorrow, not sure what to count now as 1 dpo.
Will try to dtd again today...

This morning opk
The app rated that 100
And yesterday morning was 200 and much darker

@sunnysideup2020 yep its on YouTube, she has a 10 minute video for each week of your cycle :D

With the opks, when mine start to get lighter I class that as my ovulation day and then the next day as 1dpo

that was yesterday
Which was clearly darker

Did i ovulate this morning??

Ok will check it out now :)
And will class today as ovulation
Thanks 😊

How are you feeling about this month?

@SunnySideUp2020 I think if I were you I’d class yesterday as your peak so OV today and tomorrow will be 1dpo.
My temps have now meant FF has gone back to saying I haven’t ovulated yet, not done an opk yet today so hopefully will start to see some progress on those soon! CD17 today so should really get a peak in the next day or so if things are back to normal 🤞🏻
Sorry AF arrived @ELM7!
@Minster2012 sorry you’re cycles aren’t back to normal yet, I know how frustrating that is! I really hope it sorts itself out soon and you know where you are with it!

@SunnySideUp2020 opk's are still very negative this morning and I've had some more spotting 😔 I've rang the gp surgery this morning and waiting for a doctor to contact me. If I didn't have anymore spotting I wouldn't have bothered but something just doesn't seem right so I've done it for my own peace of mind. I'm wondering if it could be an infection maybe now you've mentioned having swabs taken @Leok83. Who knows, might be nothing but we'll see what the gp says. I think my body is just playing tricks on me! I was feeling so positive this month too 😑

@scrumdiddly123 yes will count today as ovulation :)
Don't despair the opk can really turn peak from nothing in a day!

@fizzl i agree with you- if you feel something isnt right then ask a doctor
Have you had smear test recently?
Do you have any pains or temperature?

Thank you girls @Leok83 @SunnySideUp2020 @fizzl @annny27 I'm doing okay! 😘 Just taking it all one day at a time and trying not to get ahead of myself. I just feel utterly exhausted every day and have been having lots of naps but other than that I don't feel too bad. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow so am going to book an early scan for 8 weeks. Will be so so nervous but I want to know sooner rather than later if things are going well 😬🤞🏻

@fizzl I'm sorry you're having a rubbish time with your cycle. I'm sure you've got nothing to worry about and the spotting is just one of those random things. I definitely had a couple of cycles where to LH surge was so short I definitely could've missed it if I wasn't testing 3-4 times a day! Do you think there's any way you might have already ovulated?

@Annny27 glad you're using the fertility meditation videos... might be a coincidence but the cycle I started doing those was the cycle I conceived! Again it could all be a coincidence but I do think relaxing and trying to distract yourself from thinking about it can help. Really hope this is your month 🤞🏻 When is AF due?

Hope you're all doing well 😘 Every month there has always been at least one BFP on these threads so I'm really excited to see who it will be this month! (And hopefully it's everyone!!) xxxxxxxx

@SunnySideUp2020 my smear tests are all up to date but next one due end of this year. No temperature, my temp was actually quite low this morning at 35.9. No real pain, just feel a bit bloated and niggly type aches which I would normally assume is linked to ovulation.

@MilsCookie glad you're doing well! I think 8 weeks is a good time to have a scan. You'll know for certain then that things are hopefully all well and you can relax a little until your next scan. I don't think I've missed my lh surge, I shouldn't have anyway with the amount of sticks I've peed on 😂 my temps haven't risen yet either so I'm pretty confident I haven't. I'm wondering if it is ovulation spotting, I've just read it can happen a day or two before so maybe it is that I've just never had it before 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Fizzl sorry ur feeling down about it but the temp drop and those niggles could mean ovulation on the way hopefully! I’ve def heard of ovulation spotting too so could be that as you say!

@Annny27 the TWW is dragging as always, swore I wouldn’t be symptom spotting but had some EWCM today so of course I’ve had to google this like mad! How’s your TWW going? Looks like the videos are good so might have to check them out!

@MilsCookie wow 6 weeks tomorrow! Time flies when it’s someone else but I know just how slow those weeks have probably seemed to you..I remember for me time literally stood still after my BFP! Puts the torture of the TWW to shame😄
