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.

@Hayleylou89 CD12 now. Anxiously waiting for ovulation

@Hayleylou89 hey xx yeah 1 dpo now :) DTD last 2 days ... used the fert illy. I think its great now I have the knack lol. Ive been falling asleep so been setting an alarm an hour later to wake up and take it out as not sure I should leave it in any longer as the instruction say 1 hour . Managed to follow SMEP exactly this cycle without planning too much . So think I also need to DTD today to have followed SMEP properly .. :)
@@Hayleylou89 what days did you DTD around ovualtion last cycle ? X I can imagine how you're feeling as I'll be the same xx but do try and enjoy what you can of this amazing time I'm confident everything will work out perfectly healthy and amazing babe xxxx

@Renna glad you've got on well with the ferti-lily 😅 I was so naughty with it. Would always fall asleep with it in sometimes until the next morning 😶

Yay that you are in TWW now. Hope it goes quickly!! Xx

@Hayleylou89 thanks hun, looking forward to hearing about your scan on Monday❤️
Meant to be starting SMEP tomorrow but think I will start from CD10 I've got ages until OV I think.

@HopeForRainbowbaby wont be long now! X

@Renna yeah i was the same with the ferti lily as I was worried i would end up with a uti leaving it in overnight, and ur the same with suffering with them. Uv done so well following smep!

You know nc said ovulation was originally the wednesday but i def felt like it happened on the tuesday.

Remember I was shocked to get my peak on the monday as it wasnt due until the following weekend so we had only dtd

Friday
Mon
Tues (ovulation)
Wed

Thats it 🤦🏽‍♀️

The month before was stupid amounts of times heres both months on my graphs (first one is current) that obv worked having less sex and second pic was last cycle that didnt work 😂 x

Morning everyone!

@VP91x yay no periods coming back for the right reasons!

@Hayleylou89 I know what you mean with joy being taken away . So unfair. Hope ur scan on tues goes well, you definitely deserve it

@HopeForRainbowbaby CD13 for me awaiting ovulation also!

@renna I never remember to take mine out lol always sleeping for hour with it in lol

Anyone notice a difference with grapefruit juice? I definitely have noticed a difference

@VP91 yeah that was my plan with smep to start later as didnt see the point if my cycles was stupidly long x thanks im sure all will be ok iv been feeling really sick which is a good sign... i was really looking forward to a big mac yest and just threw it straight bk up haha 🤢🤦🏽‍♀️ so its all good sign that the hormones are kicking in properly x

@Hayleylou89 I definitely think there is a connection with not having as much sex and stressing out compared to stressing about having sex all the time. I’ve noticed that any month I’ve caught we have just had sex a few time’s around ovulation where as before we had loads

@2020wish thanks lovely! We all deserve it! And it will happen for us all xx 💖 the grapefruit juice def helps with the cm doesnt it

I didnt think it would but one time dtd it was literally so slippy down there i had to ease of the juice a bit haha x

@HopeForRainbowbaby when do u normally ovulate?? Xx

Can i ask how any of you celebrated the due date of ur babies? Xx I want to do something nice tomorrow for Bonnie... I made a flower wall for her nursury before i ended up in hospital so im still going to put it up in the house in my dressing room as its so pretty and it should go to waste but what else can we do? Xx

Shouldnt **

@Hayleylou89 yup the month we conceived before MC we only DTD twice. This is mine so far and deffo been less stressful trying to DTD with no pressure every other day rather than trying to get it in every day . Think I'll see if the mood takes us tonight to DTD :) and puppy doesnt tire us out too much lol but yeah when we got pg last time we DTD on day of peak and the day after . So covered that already I guess ! My temping is erratic because of my sleeping being so interrupted because of puppy !
Yeah i thought same with fert illy I considered just leaving it in by worried about utis or something too.
My urine sample and vaginal swab I had at GP last week came back normal which is good I guess ! Just waiting on ultra sound appointment so they can look into that little pain I get some times.
Had second appt with chrio yday and that lower back pack and down my leg is almost sorted! They're amaze ! X
I fancy a maccas too hah sorry u threw it up but all reassuring signs for you and in a way I cant wait to have that feeling again 💞💙 how weird that sounds xx but sure others can relate xx

Aww that flower wall is beautiful and lovely idea hun xxx

@Hayleylou89 that’s a lovely idea about the flower wall. I didn’t mark anything on my due date, I just sat contemplating things for a while. But could maybe light a candle or something? Hope your scan goes ok on Monday. X
@VP91x yay to AF being over, like you say hope she doesn’t come back! I’m back on tracking with CB Digital again this month. Giving it one more go! Bought the bigger pack this time. So far getting negatives but have started testing early this cycle. I think I am due to ovulate next weekend so hopefully start to get flashing smiley soon. X

@Hayleylou89 ahh, I love seeing charts. Interesting also that it worked better with just the few times around OV which is most impt.

How much of the grapefruit juice did you have? I've been having a glass a day, well started yesterday.

That flower wall is gorgeous. Maybe an engraved candle holder where you can always have a candle lit for her?

@Renna did they say it was sciata? Brilliant that it has almost gone.

@Wishingfornumber2 ooh nice yeah, I think you do end up using more than 10 especially with a longer cycle. Are you using ICs alongside? Xx

@SmileyT how are you today hun? Xx

@VP91x they said it was sacroilliac joint issue so did some manipulation around lower back and hips xx

@VP91x no not using ICs alongside, just sticking with CB and seeing if it works this month lol! X

@Wishingfornumber2 I'm sure they will. Those bastard smileys have got to play ball at some point right? 😅

@NightDreaming just realised I didn't reply to you last night. Not doing anything exciting this weekend. Going to bake something new and maybe start on some more of the painting that needs to be finished. How about you? X

X

Lovely ideas from everyone :) xx

@VP91 I just had a glass or two a day at most and it seems to do the trick for us x x

@renna thats good ur backs feeling better already!, iv just had a second attempt at maccys and just got a kids happy meal and so far its stayed down!... back to healthy eating soon as i dnt feel so grim and yeah i get you about wanting the symptoms, i worry cos iv had literally no belly pains though which is odd compared to last time but the nausea is real haha x x Its not even my two week wait but ur two week waits annoy me!! I was u to be close to testing 🤞🏻💖💙🌈

@Hayleylou89 that is so beautiful! Always wanted one for my baby's nursery! I'm soooo happy you got pregnant before your due date 💕

@Hayleylou89 aw every pregnancy is different so dont think anything into it hun xx I had no belly pains last time just nausea and tiredness but never actually threw up . Xx
Aw I know I'm just gonna switch off to the TWW now and keep busy and occupied have fun with new pup and wait see If AF comes . I really want it now 😓💞💙🌈 thought I would have caught again by now when I first found out in late Feb and had surgery in March . But did take us around 4 months to fall first time so I'd be happy if that happens again and I fall this month or next 🤞 I actually only told my best friend today that it happened. I'd been holding back telling her and felt like it was kinda accepting it out loud then thought maybe me doing that will help me move on to new pregnancy now .. xxx 🤞💙💞
I'm off for a maccas now .... haha

@Renna @Hayleylou89 jealous of you both with your mcd's haha xx

Just having loads of thunder/lightning/hail where I am now. Weather is going crazy xx

Thanks ladies for your support last night.

I'm on cd8 today, AF been gone for a few days. I cant decide whether I want to track this cycle, or just dtd every other day all month anyway. I feel like I need a different strategy somehow. I know it will be different anyway because I will be in work much more this month....if nursery re-opens. My lb went back on Monday, on Thurs pm got a call saying a child had a temp and nursery was closed pending child getting a test.

@Ejb86 how are you feeling today?

What will make you feel better knowing where you are or not?

Ah, that's not ideal with your lb nursery. My lg is due back on 17th hoping it goes okay xx
