TTC after miscarriage - April 2020 part 2

[Ejb86]

I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

@francis05 I know what u mean mine arnt sore to touch but kinda heavy and stuff going up and down stairs but then my boobs have stayed about a size bigger since my pregnancy so its so hard to tell if its a symptom or not.

@Renna joined the frer bus have u? i ordered the 4 pack on amazon 🙈😂 I will do a cheapy tomorrow, doubt ill see anything at 7dpo but its worth a shot ... definitely not feeling pregnant but i do think we will have some bfp's in this thread 🙏 xx

@Renna definitely it always helps! Symptom spotting is just driving me crazy at the moment. X

@TerribleImagination cd15 and no peak. Was CD 17 last month though then AF brought that early nasty shock!

@Ejb86 I’m crossing everything for you this month!! Hopefully we either both get a BFP or at least have a normal cycle!

@Hayleylou89 yes I don't think mine ever went back to their previous size pri pregnancy, have stayed very veiny since!

Morning Ladies - took a FRER this morning because I couldn't help myself and it was negative 😩.

I am CD20 potentially 10DPO according to my app but who knows as my CB sticks didn't capture an LH surge so I am in limbo with that one. My cycles post MC have been between 20-24 days long. I know they are still levelling out as I used to be between 27-30 days. I suppose unless my cycle has lengthened then I am probably out for this month too.

Checked CM and it was randomly white and a bit egg whitey (Sorry TMI) been doing my CB OPK daily still and that was still bloody flashing so dont think it is anything to do with potential late OV. X

@TerribleImagination I'm on CD30 but first cycle post MC so guessing it could be up to 6 weeks. Hope you get your peak soon x

@VP91x sorry it wasn't a BFP this morning but maybe you're cycle has got longer and you're only 5/6dpo, at least you've been DTD throughout so have all your bases covered. Maybe do another test in 48hrs and see if there is any change. You are not out until AF arrives..my CM this morning was a bit like that, more white but stretchy, was thinking it was pre-AF CM but maybe not 🤔 x

@SmileyT yeah if AF doesn't show up by Monday then I will do another test. My app says to do another one in 4 days so maybe I should wait until then anyway. Trying to not let it get me down for the day! This CM tracking is a minefield. You get something and then you google and it basically always says you could be PG or it's preAF. No surety haha. X

@VP91x yeah it's so annoying that most early pg symptoms you get before AF anyway because I think it's a reaction to the progesterone. Definitely don't let it get you down, hopefully sun is still out by you, extra vit D is good for everyone 😎 What app are you using? I've got about 5 and they all say different things

Hey girls & VP91x

I also did a cheapy this morning at 7dpo and BFN too my temps come down a bit too and my cp feels lower and harder and cm is not much there anymore so i think ill have AF mon/ tues and itll be one of my shorter 35 day cycles this month im usually 35-38. Not testing again now unless AF doesnt come show next week, we have got to have at-least one positive in this thread though.. good luck girls 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@SmileyT yeah, this is the stuff they should teach you at school! You end up self teaching.

I use Femometer & Flo at the moment. Femometer let me put in a range of length of cycle so I thought that was quite good. I use that more than Flo at the moment. How about you?

@Hayleylou89 Ah I'm sorry yours was BFN 😔 xx

Yeah, I am also going to wait until Mon/Tues if AF hasn't arrived. How are you feeling x

@VP91x like rubbish cos i know for fact im not pg this cycle.. I just knew last time as soon as i was pregnant within a few days my temp was sky high and and i had more niggly pains and i just knew before testing that i was so i think ill know again when it happens as im quite on the ball with temping so unless it gets in the 36.90 and above then i dont want to get my hopes up and it hasnt got close this cycle and has started to drop now so AF is on route for sure x how r u feeling xx

@Vp91x @Hayleylou89 sorry about your BFN's I also tested with a frer but bfn, thought maybe there was a vvvvfl but looked again and nothing 😣
Going to try not to test again for a week, I think the best thing to happen would be for af to come so I can start a fresh cycle. Hate this!!

@Hayleylou89 would you recommend temping? I am wondering if I should get one for this month too? I'm going to use the regular OPKs so thinking I could temp alongside?

I am okay, feeling disappointed but also feeling like the more stressed I get about it the more it will throw my body off which I don't want to do.

@francis05 sorry that you also got BFN 😔 agreed I would rather AF come along sooner rather than later so can start again x

@VP91x yeah i would recommend it def as soon as u temp rises it confirms ovulation has actually happend so it should match up to ur opks, i just got a cheap on on ebay basal thermometer its called as it needs to have 2 decimal points xx u do need to temp soon as u wake up before doing anything else and with a 2 hour window of the same time each day if that makes sense xx

@Hayleylou89 ahh I'm going to get one then! Do you temp regardless of what CD you are on?

@Hayleylou89 @Vp91x @francis05
Sorry to hear about your BFNs, sending positive hugs for the next few days xx

@VP91x yeah so you should track ur whole cycle and you will see your patterns if uv got an app i use natural cycles and its spot on for me.. my temps will be low from AF then just before ovulation they rise then u get a dip just before ovulation for a day and then itll rise again once uv ovulated and hopefully stay high an that confirm pregnancy is likely if temps consistently high for more than 10 days in a row...if it starts dropping AF is probably on its way as its the different hormones that fluctuate ur temp x x

Sorry about the bfns this morning, I was really hoping for some positive news this morning.

@francis05 just remember it may be that you ovulated later than expected so there is still a chance 🤞

@VP91x I use flo, femometer, Fertility friend and ovia, I put my last 12months of cycles (which I'd been recording on my Fitbit app) into them when I downloaded this month but their predictions are a couple days out. I think the best one for me is femometer or FF as they have everything in one place.

@Hayleylou89 I know what you mean about knowing the signs, the last time I was pregnant my Resting heart rate on my Fitbit shot up and this month it hasn't done that so I know I'm not, first month temping but I've also seen a dip today which makes me think AF is on her way. Although you're not out until AF arrives x

@Hayleylou89 ah thank you so much for explaining. I have just ordered one! So much data to decipher 😂

@dinosaur17 thank you xx how are you today?

@SmileyT yeah I am going to stick to femometer too, I enjoy using it! Nice and easy x

Morning ladies.

I'm CD28 and 12DPO. My Ovia app said that I should test today, so I took a cheapie and a FR and they both came back negative.

I had a feeling this wouldn't be my month, but I am still gutted!

@SmileyT yeah we def know ourselves best.... and ur right we dnt know for sure until AF shows.

@VP91x if u sleep more or less than ur set 2 hour slot the temp wont be valid or if ur poorly or hungover they dont count it as a valid reading either ur do have to be quite strict with it as the fluctuations do matter and ull start seeing a pattern if ur strict with it xx

The more I look at the test the more I can see a vvvfl, but not sure if it hs any colour and indents are known for indents aren't they? Probably best if i throw it away and forget about it.

Still been taking OPKs alongside, had a faint line for the past 5 days, almost stronger than the last couple of weeks.
