TTC after MC - June 2020

[SmileyT]

I'm 31 TTC #1 after a MC in March this year, AF has just finished and I'm on CD6 and all ready to go for my 2nd full cycle.

This month I will be tracking with opks, CB connected, BBT and following SMEP plan.

Well, AF didn't show today! So end of CD32 now 😩 after my bit of small cramping this morning - all I have felt is the weirdest pressure around my uterus. So odd. I kept thinking AF was going to start or something.

Hope you are all having nice evenings xx

Aw @VP91x that's annoying is a 32 day cycle normal for you? Xx

@HE88 not too sure atm, as post MC my cycles have been: 21 days, 24 days, last month 31 days 🤷 xx

@VP91x ah ok well fingers crossed af stays away. Its hard being a woman at times guys don't know how easy they have it! Xx

@HE88 I know! They don't have to stress over any of this stuff. No POAS, ever! Or timing DTD haha. If I am definitely out this cycle I just want AF to hurry up so I can move along and get to Fertile week again xx

@VP91x ah i really hope AF doesn't show! Will you be testing in the morning?

@HopeForRainbowbaby and @VP91x
Thank you for the reassurance regarding cervical position. I woke up with such pessimism this morning, I think due to the lack of sleep the night before. I relaxed a little as the day wore on and appreciated your replied.
@HopeForRainbowbaby, no plans to test at the moment. The bfn's cause such disappointment and then I still spend days hoping I've just tested too early, only for af to show, so I'm trying to hold off as long as I can this time. I don't have any tests at home so the longer I can go without buying one the better 🙏🏼

Morning 👋

So CD33 now - 12DPO - BFN and temp still high - well had the smallest drop 36.61 yesterday to 36.58 today. Coverline is 36.10 so no idea 🤷 xx

How is everyone today? Xx

Morning @VP91x
Feeling ok. Another day closer to poas 😂
Sorry to hear you're still on bfn.
How many cycles are you post mc? Perhaps they are still regulating.

@Jazper how many DPO are you now?

This will be Cycle 4. Yeah, still super irregular! But I know I'm ovulating so that's the main thing. Just hope AF shows up ASAP so I can start fresh xx

@VP91x
It's funny ttc isn't it? You're always half hoping af doesn't come and half wanting it to so you can just get on!
7dpo going by pos opk only. Still no plans to test. Really trying to hold off until at least this coming weekend.
My 'usual' 29-30 day cycle would make me due-on on 6th/7th but 14dpo would make me due-on on 8th. Which should I go by do you think? (Just in case I decide to test early) 🙈

@Jazper just going by my current testing saga I would say wait (if you can) until 12DPO so the 6th?😊

I know, it gets you into such a weird mindset. Once you get round that you are out for the month you just want to move on! Xx

Thank you. Will use the 6th as my earliest day to test. I'm not holding out much hope. I get pms symptoms way before af and I've already got the back ache and the tight legs.
If I'm unsuccessful this time, this will be my third cycle (fourth bleed) since mc.
Really hoping June is your month xx

@Jazper thank you hun!! Yeah definitely try and hold out if you can. I've started to get that dull backache that comes before AF so I'm sure I am not far off. Xx

I admire your patience @Jazper
Hoping for BFP😘

@Renna E cup wowsers I'm very jealous 😂 and so glad you got your Ava have you had a play with it yet?

@HopeForRainbowbaby good luck starting your ttc today x

@1990EM how was your opk looking this morning?

Ahh @VP91x I was so sure your test was going to turn, are you 13dpo now? At least you have had a nice long LP if AF shows tomorrow and you can start a fresh for the new cycle (quietly hoping it's late implantation though so no AF coming) xx

@SmileyT I'm 12DPO today. So weird my cycles are still a bit bonkers. I know I just want my temp to plummet it gives me a bit of hope in the morning haha. Yeah, positive will be a longer LP!

I've been meaning to ask what you use to measure your RHR? I have a Samsing Active Watch and wondering if I should get a fitbit or something for this purpose?

You're 1DPO now aren't you? xx

Little update - AF is here! I'm actually relieved I didn't want to have a super long cycle.

@Ejb86 we are pretty much cycle buddies again 😊 xx

Ladies, is there anything I should 100% stick in my Amazon basket today to try this month??

I'm going to stock up on the grapefruit juice and I ran out of Pre-seed do you think I should get some more? 🤔 Xx

Hi I hope you don’t mind if I join you all . I’m 36 and currently mum to 2 girls . Af has just finished for the 1st time following the loss of my mcma twin boys at 15 weeks in April so I’m officially setting off again on my 1st ttc cycle . It took almost 2 years of not preventing but actively trying to conceive the boys so although very nervous I don’t want to wait any longer to start trying and am planning to be a bit more active with the trying this time . I wish you all lots of love and luck and hope this a very lucky month full of rainbows of hope for everyone x

@VP91 sorry to hear AF got u, I was hoping to see a late bfp :( ... but about ur amazon order ... did u get calc fluor and ferti lily? I used both aswell as preseed last month and also make sure u orgasm (pref after him) 🤦🏽‍♀️ think that could always help too, iv also been on omega 3 tablets for a while now too xx

Hi, hoping to join this thread!

I've been following since the start;
Suffered a MC, on the 9th April, around 8+4 weeks. Already have 2 DSs age 6 & 4.

Really thought I was lucky this month as normal have 25 day cycles.
Had loads of cramping and nausea the past week. And even 2 days late, for AF to arrive today 😩 absolutely gutted. Onto the June bus I am.

Sending lots of luck to everyone for a fresh and successful month!x

Sorry to hear af came @VP91x hopefully this month is our month

Welcome @Girlmum83 and @bubblybon20 sorry to hear about ur loses: this is a lovely thread to join

Girl question it’s not day 7 from I started bleeding and although it mostly stopped it’s just still light blood stained when I wipe and I have ningles and slight sharp shooting pain in left side of lower abdo. Should I be worried? My mind is going along thinking etopic or something. Because this one was chemical this month I half expected my af not to impacted as much as if I didn’t test at 10dpo I would never have known I was pregnant as the tests went basically negative on the day af arrived. My af usually last 4 days. No spotting either side

Girls question is now day 7*

Also I didn’t even bleed this long when I lost at 7 weeks. And not spotting either side with that loss either. Just 5 days bleeding

Hi to those who have joined 👋 hope this thread will soon be filled with good news from everyone!

@VP91x ah sorry AF came.. but glad you'll still be around this month and not long till fertile window again!

@SmileyT ovulation test was the same as yesterday, either I missed the peak or I'm not ovulating this cycle. Or else ovulation is taking longer than normal 🙈 thanks for asking. Did manage to dtd this morning because we were both exhausted last night. Hope you're having a good weekend.
