🦕 Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 4 🦕

[Annny27]

Hi everyone,

Setting up the new thread for us - we have come a long way since January and sadly a few of us are still on the "journey". Let's hope we arent here for much longer. Wishing us all baby dust (although its been so long I am not sure dust will do it for me - maybe will have to up the particle size to "baby sand" )

Might have to give in before as my doc said as soon as I get a bfp I have to start taking aspirin so that's on my mind to test sooner. Just don't want the disappointment of a bfn lol. Last time I was this late I tested and got my period bit an hour l8r gs 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Babyghirl that's happened to me before and I was so emotional it was awful.

Is the aspirin due to previous miscarriage? X

@27DONFIN
Yea I have had two losses so doc said we could try aspirin on my next bfp I had to ask her abot it thou she never brought it up with me.

Girls tell me yous c it to omg I'm shaking

Morning girls :) 16dpo so waiting for period to arrive now. Did a test and bfn so she is just taking her sweet time haha!

Once you know she us on the way you just want her to arrive. Wish it was like breaking waters for labour haha 😂 over and done in a few minutes

@fizzl sorry that AF arrived :( but good news about LP! My spotting started at 12dpo but is so annoyingly taking her time to start properly! Thats really interesting about due dates would be similar. This last month was my chance to have a near enough due date to our first baby so now I'd just like the nearest due date possible haha!

@babyghirl yes maybe test tomorrow morning! All the best luck for you :)

@27DONFIN its definitely just a "something I have to do" during fertile week haha. Doesn't bother me but like yours, my DH gets exhausted. I guess because they have to enjoy it in order to do what needs to happen 🙈 whereas I dont really have to be in the mood :p

@Nuggetlover27 every other day dtd sounds like a good plan :D I'll be doing the same this month. Look at my dtd chart from last month 😭😂😂

The full moon has done it again girls

@Babyghirl sorry cross post! Ooh I can see it!!!! Try get a FRER

I'm soo soo pleased for you @Babyghirl 💗💗💗💗 your meant to be month! And 3rd times a charm! Get on to your doctor about progesterone and aspirin ASAP:)

Congratulations lovely! Xxx

Omg had a dream one of you got a bfp during the night . Was gonna say it this morning but felt ridiculous 😅😅

@Babyghirl big congrats girl xxx

@Babyghirl there is no doubting that line. Congratulations. Sept is obv meant to be your month really hope this is your sticky bean.

Sorry AF arrived @Fizzl and I hope that AF hurry up and arrives for you @Annny27. When you know it’s coming I’m the same of just wanting it to hurry up so you can start the next cycle.

CD12 here but no chance of a BFP unless I have a late ovulation (which with the last cycle being random anything is possible) as DH has gone away for the week working. He hasnt had any work for the whole of the pandemic but of course when he does it’s across my FW 🤦🏼‍♀️ But at least I won’t be symptom spotting in the TWW so might go quicker!

@Annny27 you gave everything 💗😬 might be worth trying with breaks, good plan every other day.

@sunnysideup2020
@ELM7
@Annny27
Thanks girls I'm a bag off nerves nw tbh lol I have been having weired dreams the last few nites but thought nothing off it but here I am tested just 45 mins ago and already the anxiety has set in xxx

@SunnySideUp2020 yes! This was our chart from when we conceived so deffo more isnt always more haha!

@Babyghirl just enjoy it all 💗 I'm so delighted, you have been so positive even after 2 years of trying. A light in the darkness 💗💗

@ELM7 ahhh thats so gutting with DH going away! I think I might be a crazy wife in that situation and go with him haha

We did 7 days in a row the month we got pregnant with this one @Annny27 😫 it was not great!! Especially as we were both still grieving. We both said we would drop it back the following month if i didn't catch. Not done it since 😬😂
Great to see another bfp on this thread, congrats @Babyghirl

@whiffle77
Thank you I have not told dp yet lol will do when I get home from work thou been on fone to doc she getting me an app to the epu and have to start taking aspirin today when I get home to. Bag off nerves is not even the work at the min.
@Annny27 it will be you soon girl all girls r going to follow me soon x

@Babyghirl ahhhh brilliant news congratulations!!! God I can’t handle the stress of those tests and get the digital ones. Only natural to feel that way try and enjoy the news and get on the aspirin 💚💚💚💚

@27DONFIN
Going to grab one on my way home from work but isn't it best to leave it till tomara morning to do and thank you I'm a bag off nerves but trying my hardest to remain calm and hope that 3rd time lucky 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Omg @Babyghirl I'm so happy for you!!! September is definitely your month!!

@Annny27 your chart last month is crazy. I could not do that haha. Your so right what you say about DH having to enjoy to get the result we want. Think that's another reason why we stick to every other day because I don't think DH would be able to cope every day 🙈😂

I know it's a little extreme (but hey I know you girls won't judge me) but me and DH have booked my ov week off work this month 😂 hoping that some relaxing time at home with no work helps us to conceive ? We both have days to use by the end of the year anyway so thought we may as well try haha

@nuggetlover27
I did nt temp this month too de stress me and it did work I think lol well last 11 months I have been doing it nothing, the month I stop it I end up pregnant thank you very much just hoping 3rd time lucky and it's a sticky bean for us 🍀🙏🤞🍀🙏🤞

AF is arrived so officially cd1 :D i have been ovulating roughly cd15-17 so hopefully another normalish month 🤞

@Whiffle77 it really is exhausting isnt it haha. I dont blame you for the no sex, I cant wait to be pregnant so I can not have sex 😂

@Babyghirl yep do the digital in the morning - a nice treat to wake up to :) have you told your OH?

@Nuggetlover27 may as well! I have loads of days off too considering havent gone on holiday haha! Let's hope the relaxation does the trick 🥰🥰🥰

@Babyghirl ah congratulations! Lovely news! 3rd time lucky for sure this time. I'll keep everything crossed for you!

@Annny27 ah I'm sorry AF finally kicked in. We'll be cycle buddies again pretty much this month, especially if my ovulation stays around day 19. Come on September please let this be our month 😬🤞 who'd have thought we'd be in this situation a year later?!

@ELM7 ah that's really bad timing! I think I'd be going on a road trip if I were you 😂

@Nuggetlover27 I think taking a weeks annual leave is a good idea! Won't do any harm and you'll have all the time to leisurely fit in dtd rather than quick scheduled sex 😏

I got the results from my blood test today. Progesterone levels were really good - I was driving when I spoke with her (hands free!) but I'm sure she said 52 which she said was a 'very good' level so that's reassuring! She's going to put it in a letter for me so I'll know for sure in a few days. Not sure what causes my short lp now tho if it's not low progesterone 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Annny27 told him when I got home from work he all over the moon I just jumped on him and pulled the test out off my pocket he away to work today I was meant to be working but took it off to a risk assessment is done as I'm porter security in a hospital so nt risking it so nt bck in to wed lol.
@fizzl thank you very much I'm over the moon but nervous at the same time it's not easy for us girls to be pregnant again after what we been thou but I'm hoping 3rd time lucky doc has referred me to the epu so will phone me Monday with an app. 💚💚💚💚

@Fizzl really good for the progesterone!
Perhaps the other times you didn't ovulate that's why you had a short lp?

@Babyghirl fantastic news on your BFP😊

@Fizzl that's great your progesterone is good..maybe your body has just started to right itself now and previous to this is was low? But at least you know nothing to worry about in LP phase now😊

@Annny27 the month I caught we only DTD 3 times that cycle, 2 days before the positive opk, the day of and day after. I was worried it wasn't enough but less was def more! Also much less of a chore!

@SunnySideUp2020 and @Leok83 I'm not sure because even when I tracked my cycles last year looking back my lp has always been around 10-11 days 🤷🏼‍♀️ so who knows why. I think this year it got slightly shorter because my body was still sorting itself out so hopefully I'm a bit more balanced out now. If I can get at least 10 days each month I think I'm ok with that. I'd prefer at least 12 but so long as the 8-9 days don't reappear I'd be happy(ish). I'm really hoping that acupuncture helps now my cycles seem a bit more regulated again 🤞

We've just booked to go away with my husbands family during my tww. They like a drink, and we would normally too when we're away with them so we've now got to have that awkward conversation of I'm not pregnant but I'm not drinking either and hope they understand (which I'm sure they will). Everyone's been really sensitive and never asked us since our MC but if I just don't drink they will assume I'm pregnant so we've decided we'd rather just be honest to lower expectations.

I'm hoping it will be a good distraction for me but I also think we will be in the pub a lot and constantly ordering water will act as a lovely reminder for me 🙄 and then I feel like I'm getting people's expectations up for an imminent announcement which adds to the pressure. I'm also trying to eat really healthily and I know being away is going to make that hard and I'm already stressing about that and contemplating if I can take my blender to make my fertility smoothie every morning. I'm laughing at myself with how ridiculous I sound. I hate ttc now.

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend - happy Sunday!
