Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 2

[Annny27]

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

evening girls :)

@scrumdiddly123 oh I thought you were talking about your hcg levels. That is promising that all the tests were good but also frustrating as you would probably rather there was something that they could do something about :( xx

@Minster2012 I usually get ewcm for about 4 days before ovulation but I know some women just get it the day of ovulation so its unknown really!

@ChampooPapi no please stick around :) we love hearing from your pregnant ladies! Gives us hope 💗 sorry you are feeling so sick

@SunnySideUp2020 oh my goodness that must have been scary being in that much pain! Glad it's subdised now. Let's hope it was painful because it was a really big healthy egg haha!

Hi @Minster2012, I usually notice EWCM a day or two before I get my peak on an opk. And it then goes pretty quickly once I’ve ovulated. It’s the best indicator for me of when I’m fertile as I tend to get a lot of it but know it’s not the same for everyone!
I count the first full day of bleeding from MC as CD1.
Sorry you find yourself with us but welcome x

@Ejb86 its so frustrating when ovulation is later! Looks like this cycle i an ovulating earlyish but my cycle before last it was cd23!!!! Felt like the cycle lasted forever

@scrumdiddly123 & @Annny27 thank you very much, I will bear that in mind for next time, I can’t remember when it was this time as was still in MC haze spotting afterwards but keen to pay attention going forwards

Evening all, just catching up! @Ejb86 hope you’re feeling better, the announcements are so hard. I know others might have had a hard time conceiving too but just makes me want it for us so much more.

@scrumdiddly123 hope you’re doing ok, I had some blood tests too and almost wished there was something wrong because at least there’s be an explanation then. But it’s obviously good news at the same time.

@SunnySideUp2020 6 days straight is impressive! We’re doing way less this cycle and it does feel like less of a strain but I’m hoping we’re not going to miss a chance!

@Annny27 it’s so hard to switch off from reading the signals even on a ‘relaxed’ cycle 🙃

Welcome to those who are new

I'm ok thanks @Sparkl. It just really hit me that we won't be having a baby this year despite all of our trying. My messed up cycles are driving me around the bend, feel like I have no control over anything at the moment. I am taking control of our house though, started a cleaning regime. Have spent all week cleaning the house and will be following the Organised Mum Method from now on.

1 dpo and “here we go again”.... the tww
Or the 11 days wait because i am too impatient and will prob test early 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Hope you are all doing good today 💐

@Ejb86 Do you ever take B6? I used to take it for bloating and water retention (before I started TTC) and for some reason stopped before we started trying. I started on 50mg of B6 (on top of the seven seas trying for a baby) mid Feb and was going to stop taking everything but seven seas and omega 3 this month, until I read up about successes on higher doses of B6.

Could be total coincidence for these people, but I’m gonna give 100mg of B6 a try this month, to see if it increases my luteal phase, as it’s been shortening a day each month since the MC 😐 It was 11 days this month, which is less than I’m used to! Plus the way my periods start these days (spotting basically) is making me think I could do with the extra B6... I thought of you too cos we both had a weird short cycle this month!

@SunnySideUp2020 just entered mine too..4DPO and counting down the days already! Prob will try and wait to test until Sunday week if I can hold out that long..probably not though😄
Symptom spotting started already even though I swore I’d just not think about it!🤦‍♀️

Happy good Friday everyone! 🐣
Hopefully you had a lovely sunny day where you ladies are, it was nice here 🌞we had a BBQ first one this year
And to those in the TWW 🤞🏻
In theory you could say I’m in TWW too but hearing in mind it’s the first one after MC & I’ve no idea when I ovulated or if I did or if we DTD Anywhere close but hey that’s just TTC naturally I guess before AF kicks in 🤷‍♀️!

In theory it could happen right! But highly unlikely!

@TerribleImagination thanks for thinking of me.

Currently sat in a blundering heap on sofa. My brother just told me I'm going to be an auntie again

I typed blubbering, not blundering.

Sorry to hear @ejb
This is really a shit time 😟😟😟
Xx sending hugs 💐💐💐

Oh @Ejb86, sending lots of virtual hugs, rubbish for you, we are here for you xx

@Ejb86 Eurgh that’s such terrible timing I’m so sorry!! I had the exact same thing a couple of months ago, and my sister in law is due 10 days before I should have been... I’m still struggling to be excited about it...

Sending you loads of love ❤️

Oh no @Ejb86 awful timing. Do your family and friends know your situation?

@Sunnysideup2020 @Leok83 I’m 1DPO today. I think... wishing I did the opks now! Anyway I’m going to be so relaxed this time, so so relaxed 🙃

Slightly later ovulation than usual so hoping this doesn’t mean an extra short LP, every day counts!

So sorry @Ejb86 I had thr same thing 2 weeks after my MC, my brother told me they were pregnant and due a few weeks before I would've been. It's very hard, and I had all these emotions like I was meant to be having my parents first grandchild not them etc. Let yourself cry it out, hope you feel a lot better today

Oh @Ejb86 what crap timing! I’m sorry. My twin sister found out she was pregnant the same week I did with my first miscarriage back in October. She’s now 30 weeks and I am happy for her but it’s very hard not to feel sad too x

Sorry for another test pic but this was today’s. I can’t believe it’s getting darker 😭
And typical it’s bank holiday so can’t even ring EPU til Tuesday. I feel like crying I don’t want this to drag on any longer

Oh no @scrumdiddly123 sending lots of hugs to you how confusing? Might it have been twins? Can you give your EPU a try just in case, ours are all open around here? Xx

@Minster2012 my HCG increase was too slow for there to be anything viable I think. I’ve been waiting patiently for the faint lines to disappear and now this! It’s as dark as it was before I started bleeding and had my scan 11 days ago.
I had to ring the gynae ward last weekend as I was worried and they said there was no one to scan me until Monday so pretty sure it will be the e same. I’ll probably ring just to double check though.
Hope you’re ok and enjoying this lovely weather x

@scrumdiddly are you sure you don’t have any retained product?
Or that it’s not a new pregnancy?
Sorry this is happening... very confusing!

@sparkl @Leok83 we are close cycle buddies! 🌈 💫 🤞🏽

@SunnySideUp2020
Definitely not a new pregnancy as we’ve only DTD once since my BFP on 23rd March and that was only a few days ago.
No idea if it’s retained products as they couldn’t locate the pregnancy on my last scan so haven’t even confirmed if it is/was a miscarriage. My main concern is that it’s ectopic 😒
I would be 7 weeks tomorrow based on when I last OV’d- the whole thing is so confusing and that’s what’s annoying me the most! I just want to know what on earth is going on x

Ahhh @scrumdiddly123 I'm so sorry this is dragging out for you! So frustrating. I would definitely ring epu for some advice and see what they say, I would think they would've known by now if it was ectopic (hopefully!)

@scrumdiddly123 that sounds so confusing, I really hope they get to the bottom of it soon. What date was the MC? The 23rd of March was long enough ago to be getting a new BFP so could it possibly be that? Were your HCG levels checked on the last bloods where they said everything was ok?
