Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 3

[Annny27]

Setting up this new thread for all the lovely ladies who have been on the ttc after miscarriage journey. And also all the ladies who have had their bfps but still want to stay in touch:)

Will post this in the existing chat :D

@Leok83 definitely a good plan for the scans! Where I go for acupuncture is the private clinic I found out about my MMC too. I thought I'd find it really hard going back but actually it was fine. When I had my scan there the other week I had a brief moment of thinking back to what happened last time I was in that room but it wasn't so bad and I soon forgot. Obviously it's been under different circumstances for me though and it's still going to cause some anxiety but hopefully not too much for you. A few months back I couldn't drive past that place without tearing up!

@SunnySideUp2020 I'm sure you won't be heading into a mammoth cycle like I had! But I think you're right about our bodies having other plans. I've come to the conclusion my body knew better than my brain and decided that the past 3 months were just not the right time 😑😂 I'm hoping they're on the same page now!

Bfn as expected but doesn't make it any less gutting!

Aw no @Annny27, I'm so sorry. Maybe it's just too early still. But it's still so gutting where there's no line. Hopefully there may be one come up over the next couple of days.xx

@Fizzl thanks, ya I think I'll just need to not think about the last time at all if I can manage that!!

Oh no @Annny27 I’m sorry as I hate seeing the lack of lines. I really hoped the lack of symptoms was a good thing.

Hi everyone hope you're all well. I'm still ttc after my mmc in April. Had 2 regular cycles since and my 3rd which was supposed to start Friday or Saturday didn't come until today, I'm never late which is weird, was cramping for a week before with twinges in my side. All tests I've taken say bfn though so I'm thinking not my luck this month.

I've been taking pregnacare original since I found out on Feb for my 1st one and continued with it even after my mmc. But thinking about taking just folic acid with vit D tablets instead as I think prenacare is giving me too much iron. Has anyone had any issues with pregnacare?

Thanks @Leok83 and @ELM7 Maybe I'll be one of the lucky ones who gets a bfp after a bfn haha! Although judging from my 12dpo line when I had a bfp, it wouldn't have shown at 10dpo so that has given me some hope!

@Lynz2020 I have heard pregnacare ones can mess up cycles. I take the seven seas trying for a baby ones and they have worked well for me :)

Sending hugs @annny27
Not the greatest feeling the bfn 😟
But again still early. Not all is lost...

My opk is finally nearing peak. Maybe tonight
What about @Fizzl @Nuggetlover27 @scrumdiddly123 ?

forgot to add @ELM7 x

@SunnySideUp2020 I’m peaking with you. We can try and keep each other sane in the delightful TWW!

@SunnySideUp2020 and @scrumdiddly123 yay that's cool that we are all cycle buddies
So I'm CD17 now. OPK this morning was fainter than yesterday which is confusing 😖 going to start on 2 a day from tomorrow although if it's a normal post MC cycle for me I'm not expecting OV until CD21-25 but we will see.

@Fizzl I know what you mean. It's nearly a year for us too since we fell. So frustrating.

@Annny27 sorry for you bfn ☹️

@ELM7 we are literally a few hours aaprt this cycle! I am peaking too today after all

Managed to dtd twice. But also went swimming in the sea so was worried it will wash them out 🤔

@scrumdiddly123 when mine are lighter is often because i dont test with same concentration. Either drink too much or dont hold long enough... might be this?

@SunnySideUp2020 oooh yayy for the peak! Not too delayed then p.s you also saw the thread with the lady who had her bfp naturally after five failed ivfs! I was soo happy when I saw her news 💗

@Nuggetlover27 fingers crossed it peaks soon!

@ELM7 get to dtd haha! Let's hope your hubby doesn't have a sore back this time haha!

@Annny27 omg just saw it and honestly i felt emotional... 😁
Some journeys are so so hard ... but eventually it does happen.
Also read today abour Thor's wife (the icelandic huge man who played in game of thrones and does strongman)
They failed their IVF but then found it so disheartening that they thought of stopping but fell naturally!!

How was your appointment today?
Hope you weren't too down because of the bfn.

@ELM7 forgot that your dh had a sore back last time 😅

And no not too delayed but DPs sister arrived this morning so we had to wake up earlier to dtd before picking her up at the airport but were still late (woopsie)

And then in the afternoon we had to put a video on YouTube to cover the noises 😅😅😅😅
Just played whatever i found and it was the commentary of a water-skiing competition 🤣🤣🤣
Weirdest session ever.....

morning :) 11dpo and feeling a bit crampy and gross like i usually feel before AF 🤷🏻‍♀️

@SunnySideUp2020 glad you've managed to fit in some dtd haha! When we first started trying we were on a group holiday with friends during fertile week and they kept banging on the door asking us when we wanted to go for dinner or asking if we had any washing because they were gonna put some on. Was very funny and if they knew what they were interrupting they'd have been mortified :p

@Annny27 oh that would be a killer for me 😅
I mean after all these months, the baby trying business is definitely not the romantic sweet loving anymore 😄 especially with the pressure of fertile week!

Are you planning on testing again? Or just wait for AF?

@SunnySideUp2020 your opk's definitely looked like they peaked! Hooray! No too delayed for you. Yours and @Annny27 stories made me laugh! I admire your dedication to ttc! We've not found ourselves in any awkward predicament yet 😂😂

I wouldn't worry about the sea washing things away. I'm pretty sure they say that the ones that are heading in the right direction will be well up in your uterus by now and won't be able to be washed away 😂 everything that falls out is apparently 'left over'. Lovely thought isn't it?!

TTC definitely loses all romantic passion! My husband yesterday asked when he needed to 'get ready' for 'thee' week and we discussed his shifts and how we'd get round it😂 really all spontaneity has gone out the window.

I love hearing positive stories for couples who have struggled. I know a few people who were due to start ivf and found out they were pregnant literally just before (one on the day she was due to go for her appointment!).

@Annny27 pleased to say hubby hasn’t hurt his back this month so DTD last night without the painful expression of the month before.

OPK has dropped back to high today so app is saying tomorrow will be 1dpo and the TWW will begin.

Hi girls
Feeling very disheartened today. Still no signs of a peak. Just wondering why things can't just go right for once?

@ELM7 and @SunnySideUp2020 are you both onto TWW now?

@Fizzl my husband asked me the same thing yesterday 😂 no spontaneous DTD here. Baby making isn't as fun as people think haha. Where are you in your cycle atm? Any sign of ov yet?

@Fizzl @Nuggetlover27 DP and i plan our dtd schedule a month in advance 😁 especially since we have to pace ourselves as per doc recommendations!

@fizzl have you started opks?

@elm7 mine is also on high today !

@nuggetlover so we are indeed both on ovulation day. Tww starts tomorrow!!!
Sorry to hear yours aren't getting any darker... which CD are you on?

@SunnySideUp2020 and @Nuggetlover27 I'm CD7 so not started opk's yet. Will start them cd10. It's been quite nice not having to pee on sticks for a few weeks 😂 little things in life!

@Nuggetlover27 I think we can all relate to that frustrating feeling of why aren't things going right?! Trust me after my last 75 day cycle 🤯 I know what it feels like to feel let down by your own body, especially when you're trying to do everything 'right'

Evening ladies, hope you’re all well! Sorry your test was negative @Annny27, I hate seeing a bfn 😩
No sign of OV for me yet, not had any EWCM for a couple of days and v faint line on opks so must be a few days away yet. Only CD12 and I normally don’t ovulate til day 16 at the earliest.
@Nuggetlover27 I hope you get your peak soon! What CD are you?
Hope the 2 WW flies by for you @SunnySideUp2020 and @ELM7- love how you peaked on the same day! Must be a good sign 😊🤞🏻

@SunnySideUp2020 think we need a pack to not test until a certain point. When is AF due for you. I have average cycles of 27days so AF due 28th July.

@ELM7 mine is due 29th 😬
I told myself earliest i will allow myself to test is 24th. Otherwise ideally not before 26th ... what do you think???

@scrumdiddly123
@Fizzl hope your ov is not too far off 🥚

I had a massive fight with DP last night. He says that my ovulation makes me moody every month... does anyone else experience this?
