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!

@Mommybear05 😔😔 I'm sorry that they have come up negative. Yeah it really it's the frustrating thing not knowing when to expect things or what your body is doing. If might be worth continuing to see with cheap OPKs if there is any pattern at all if you don't find it to stressful? Xx

@vp91x I’m just finding it souls destroying every day to test them and get negative. I was going to invest in a cb digital for next month but it doesn’t even seem like I’m ovulating. Hubby says take a break from it and just have sex every other day. And then if I actually get my cycle back go from there. If I was thinking of weaning my son for ttc now is so not the right time to do it with the lockdown. He’s feeling more and more so hardly surprising I’m not ovulating. Xx

@Mommybear05 definitely best for your mental health to do testing and just go back to normal DTD when you want with your partner. The stress and emotional side to it just won't make things any easier on your body. Circumstances are tough at the moment with everything going on, it's all adds up xx

@vp91x exactly. So I’m or taking any more opks or tracking anything for a while. I’ve deleted the Ovia app and I’ve boxed up my opks. I was trying to take those pregnancy tests and work out when the best time to take them was. It was so confusing. It said from the day of your due period. Don’t know when period is due. Then google says how many days post ovulation. My opks were negative so no clue on that front either. I don’t feel my body is giving me enough signals to track this properly at the moment. I need to give myself a break so it will be just unprotected sex for a while and we will see if I get my cycle back!

Anyway how are you doing??? Xx

You might find that qhen you have stopped thinking about it too much if you have a proper signal from your body it will be really obvious and relaxing might help you get back on track. Yeah, you literally wouldn't know when to do a test at all. Sending you a massive hug.

I am okay, stupid CB still flashing so I am just doing them for the sake of it really. Still have a little bit of brown blood but only when I have checked my CP/CM not when I have wiped or anything so who knows what that might be. Felt crampy so hoping my cycle hasn't gone off course this month. Xx

@vp91x thank you. I still find this thread so supportive ❤️ What cycle day are you on now? Could it be from ovulation if you are having cramps too? I too only found the blood when doing a cervix check. Have you ever used the cb digital before? Xx

@Mommybear05 I am glad we have this thread too ❤️ I am on CD16 my shortest cycles are sometimes 21 days. So I could be 5 days away from AF or more. Depends what will go on. Xx

@Mommybear05 sorry and no it was my first month of using the CB digital x

@vp91x well I’m hoping that This cb goes static for you soon! Other signs are pointing to ovulation for you. Xx

@Mommybear05 hopefully. One way or another something will happen soon! I have ordered some First Response in case AF hasn't shown by Monday xx

@Bellabubblebell hiya.. we are in the process of buying a new build, was meant to be completed in June but with covid looks like that will be delayed now and the construction likely delayed xx good luck with TWW , I am 2dpo too, when is AF due for you? X and yeah I think a cheapie is technically same as opk just different name x

@Wishingfornumber2 I had the same thing with my CB test last month which was immediately after MC and didnt get a peak at all. But I had the lines like that and just kept getting flashing smiley. But in my first proper cycle now after first AF arrived and I've got my peak. I've read all sorts tbh that it can take a while to understand your levels and I've read the lines mean different things such as one of them reading your estrogen levels so is different to other tests just testing for your LH surge so you cant really read into the lines yourself. Xx

@Mommybear05 sorry to hear youre feeling low xx it's so tough and can deffo understand that frustration, I felt it last month immediately after MC when I couldnt track ovulation etc xxx defo take a break if you feel you need it. Stress can affect your cycle too so many relaxing a bit may even help xxx at least you know these threads are here when u do need them and we can relate 😘 xxx

@Wishingfornumber2 thanks! I got an empty circle first time using and thought the lines were dark. Next day straight to smiley face and the lines looked exactly the same. I agree with previous comment the first one will be negative. Def dtd just in case. Good luck!

Only just checked my emails and noticed I was tagged in a post, was so confused nobody had posted 😂

@Bellabubble yeah I try to track bbt like you said but with the MC/ surgery/ OH working nights it's not always perfect, although temp seems to have increased after the peak on cheapie opks and CB connected so that's a good sign. (Attached the pic)

@Mommybear05 ahh sorry you're feeling a bit crap with it all, even though it'd be great to see that BFP I bet you'll be grateful if AF comes just so you know you can reset, sending you lots of love.

@Hayleylou89 I went on holiday when I was pregnant in feb and the only real indication I had was that I slept loads, although not completely unusual on holiday.... by the time I took a test I must've been about 16dpo and my boobs at that stage had become massive but don't think I noticed anything else.

I'm currently 7DPO with quite a bit of CM and just waiting for AF to arrive, I've been taking the LH tests everyday just to check there isn't another surge but kinda feeling like this isn't going to be my month at all. Slept all day yesterday and I can already tell OH is getting excited and feel like I'm going to let him down a bit when AF comes.

@dinosaur17 I was thinking about how you were getting on... I've got everything crossed you get your BFP 🤞

@Mommybear05 I'm sorry you're feeling out of sorts ☹️ I feel for you! I'm having a similar problem tracking anything. I was really excited when I saw ewcm last week, but Its carried on right up until today so I'm really confused too. Cb opk has just been showing peak fertility ever since last week, because I still have some Hcg left in my system. BBT is all over the place too, so unhelpful. It's just horrible not knowing what's going on with our bodies. Fingers crossed we can return to normal soon! Hang in there!

@Hayleylou89 ooh just actually went back on my Fitbit calendar for when I would've ovulated and I did the test about 22dpo and only got symptoms a week before I think. No way I'll make it that long this time though 😂 9 sleeps until AF is due and it's dragging already

@VP91x @Happyasbarry Thanks, cm hasn’t really changed as much as normal so really don’t know. But DTD last night and going to every other night for the rest of the week so hopefully will cover it just incase. X

@Renna Good to hear you got your peak . It’s a shame the lines don’t mean the same as other tests, would be handy if they did! X

@vp91x yes I heard that the first response tests are the most sensitive so good idea. I think I’ll try one of those next time. I usually use clear blue xx

@Renna thank you xxx

Hey girls, did any of u have implantation bleeding last pregnancy? I did and iv had the same this morning after fmu but dnt want to get my hopes up and want to compare with someone else who had it? X x

@SmileyT thank you. Fingers crossed for you for the rest of the month and your 2ww xx

@Hayleylou89 morning. What I had this time isn’t implantation so no experience there I’m afraid. How many days post ovulation are you? X

@Mommybear05 yeah, will go with those first and if I get anything then I will double check with a clearblue digital they are so handy.

@Hayleylou89 I've not had any IB I don't think. What was yours like? X

@Mommybear05 im only 4dpo today and last time this happened when i was pregnant it was 3dpo then again at 6dpo and it looks the same, its just pinky tinge on tissue i took a pic to compare to last time 🙈 ...they say it doesnt happen this early on but i was pregnant last time
and it happened early on, its so strange, it is only a little bit today compared to the first time it happened last time though xx

@Hayleylou89 I did have implantation bleeding last pregnancy, was 8dpo and got a positive test the next day.

@SmileyT How are you getting on? How did you get on with LH testing? Due AF today and have had really really light spotting so reckon she’s on her way.

Did a frer first thing and still looks negative so reckon I’m out! Have ordered some more cheapies just in case AF decides to stay away! Xx

@dinosaur17 see 8dpo is quite normal time to get it but i did have it so early last time (unless my ovualtion date was wrong as i wasnt tracking really) but this time i know when i ovulated and it was only friday and iv had it again was ur pinky coloured or brown spotting as it can be either? X
