Thank you @BEESY90
Amazing news you saw the little heartbeat 🥰 so happy for you.

@Northernsoul90 yeah I would have thought it'll keep climbing. It really did come down didn't it!? Talk about an ovulation dip! xx

@MichT4 good luck today. Hope you get some answers.

@BEESY90 - so happy for you seeing the heartbeat. That’s brilliant news x

@TJM123 - that’s a short string line, congratulations x

@TJM123. Don’t know what happened there bloody predictive text - that’s a super strong line 🤦🏼‍♀️ Sorry

@MrsK21 @HappyVibes How many dpo are you today? I am 1dpo now so officially in the tww! Pass me the Pom juice haha xx

@MichT4 I know I was shocked at how much it dipped! Xx

@MichT4 good luck today. Thinking of you xo

I'm CD13 today, big temp drop but I thought I'd ovulate tomorrow? Only got static smiley today so I'm none the wiser at the minute with the Ava!

Thank you @Runnergirl1 @chloedancer897

@chloedancer897 you might ovulate today - things seem to line up that way with your static and temp. So exciting! xx

@Northernsoul90 thanks for the info. So, I’ve just checked again - pre MMC my luteal phase was 14days every time! It is just the last cycle so first one post MMC that my luteal phase was just 11 days. Do you think MMC can cause shorter luteal phase?! XX and welcome in the TWW - enjoy the Pom juice haha

@MichT4 good luck with your scan today.

@LAcain and @Jadem83 welcome to the group and sorry to hear of your loss I'm sure you will find this group very supportive. @Jadem83 I am also from Scotland.

@BEESY90 that's great news about the baby must be a huge relief. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.

@TJM123 congratulations wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.

@MichT4 time to get the Pom juice and Calc Fluor our then!😂😂

Wishing you every luck and some answers today xo

@Northernsoul90 @MrsK21 lovely!!! This is the exciting time now the TWW but seems to go so slow. I’m already 3DPO! Gone so quick already my goodness. I don’t temp, so that’s just going off the day of my static. I panicked a bit wondering what if I ovulated 36 hours after static etc & needing to DTD last night. But we missed the window. We’ve never done it that late before & caught x3 previous so sure I’ll be absolutely fine 😊

I’m not on Pom juice but kinda kicking myself I’m not! Where do I get it ASAP ha? I’ve seen people say it’s expensive - what we taking ha?

I’m on calc fluor, macca, Grapefruit juice, inositol, D3 & Methylfolate so I’ll happily have anything else hahaha.

Xx

@BEESY90 amazing news on your scan. Hope you’re on cloud 9 and enjoying the excitement and love for your little baba. I know you have a lot going on right now, but hopefully the joy is overriding everything else emotion wise as your & baby deserve that love and excitement xxxxx

@BEESY90 lovely news about the heartbeat at the scan

@Firevie I'm on CD13 so close to you! My Clue app predicts FW starting this Friday based on previous cycles - although this is first cycle post-mc so just have to wait and see what happens. Secretly hoping to get pregnant straight away!

@Firevie I'm not 100%sure but I know that after mc it can definitely take a few cycles for things to regulate so would imagine luteal phase length is included within that. I think there are things you can do to try and lengthen luteal phase if you are concerned about it so maybe if this cycle is the same (and you don't get bfp) you could look into Vitamin C supplementation as I've heard that's good for LP? xxx

@HappyVibes Yes you will be more than covered don't worry about that 😊. You can get Pom juice from Tesco it's £3.70 for a smallish bottle (lasts around 3 days) which is why I don't drink it for my whole cycle 😂. It's got to be one not from concentrate I think all the ladies on here drink this one which is the one I've got xx

@susiebluebell ooh yay! Although apparently my FW is still two weeks away so I think you’ll beat me to it haha. Fingers crossed you get your BFP straight away

@Northernsoul90 ah okay that makes sense. Vitamin C supplements like Berocca ? I’ve been taking those for couple of weeks every day anyway to boost vitamin C etc or is there something else that is good to take to lengthen the LP? I’m hoping I will catch this cycle so that would be great then 😊 xxx

Thanks @Northernsoul90 - that’s me going Tesco at lunch haha. So how many times did you DTD around Ov? Do you reckon you’ll test early? So hard not to cave haha. My husband is worst for it than me ha he gets so excited bless him. Asking everyday each TWW if I’ve had symptoms lmao.

@Firevie they do vit c tabs at Tesco or Asda their own brand...I prefer Asda own than Tesco. Anyhow, I would just do a bit of research into them as you can take too high of an amount during pregnancy - so I personally only take them up to TWW, and I’ve now stopped them during TWW.

I’m unsure on specific things for luteal phase tbf, but I know that inositol is to help encourage balancing out and regulating cycles. I’m not too sure on other tips sorry.

If it is your first cycle post MC, I wouldn’t worry too much as it is common for things to be a bit different for a month or so.xxxx

@Firevie I think so? I've never used it myself as previously my LP has been 12/13 days but I've seen a few things online about it. Presumably Berocca would help anyway! I'm not sure if anyone else on the thread has tried Vit C for luteal phase before? Xx

www.ovusense.com/uk/blog/how-to-increase-your-luteal-phase-naturally/

@Firevie Also second what @HappyVibes said, certain vits at too high of a level can cause problems in early pregnancy so I would do some research or even speak to your GP maybe before adding anything in xx

@Firevie I was exactly the same as you. Usually 14day luteal phase but this one first since MMc was only 10/11days. Hope it lengthens. I’m hoping it’s just the mmc that’s played a funny game for this cycle and fingers crossed it goes back to ‘normal’ x

@HappyVibes Aww that's so sweet about the testing! He must be really excited 💕.

We dtd for about 6 days in a row when I was getting flashies but then we missed 2 days as DH was exhausted from work and too much alcohol consumption the next day 😂 then we dtd twice on day of static and once yesterday which was ovu day. We will probably dtd again today for good measure but really the fertile window is gone now. I was annoyed we missed the 2 days in between but at least we got day before ovu in which is supposed to be a good day to do it!

I don't think I will test early no, I get too worked up testing early and looking at squinters lol. I usually try and wait until day after AF is due at least (if I can!) xxx

@HappyVibes @Northernsoul90 I've attached my chart, I seem to be getting a slow, steady rise post ovulation. According to Glow and FF, I'd have ovulated CD13 so 2DPO today. I don't think I'll test early either like @Northernsoul90 .
I'm hopeful for this cycle but at the same time prepared for AF to make an appearance, don't think we DTD enough and I'm currently away so didn't get any in yesterday / today. Also with spotting I feel my lining won't be great even with all the Pom I've been drinking!

@Runnergirl1 ah that’s re assuring! Let’s see and hope this one goes back to 13/14 days
@HappyVibes @Northernsoul90 great thanks for letting me know. I think I will see what this cycle brings... fingers crossed it goes back to 13/14 days xxx

Hey girls. Thanks for all your support this morning.

Had scan and bloods. Scan showed a sac but nothing in it but she said she would expect that at 5 weeks. Bloods will obviously confirm either way.
I asked about lining and ovaries and she said both looked good. Asked about PCOS but she said they won’t show in a pregnancy because the hormones change things. The bloods are progesterone too.
She was confused why I was asking lots of questions as if it was a MC so I said about the faint tests, and she said they don’t sometimes get dark til later on and she wouldn’t be worried about that alone. We will see xx

@Firevie got my fingers crossed for you too! 🤞🏻

Ooh OK so what was the general impression? Was she positive, negative? Did she say anything about previous mcs?

As I've said previously I have irregular cycles but this month I'm very late for my period. Taken tests this weekend and it's a bfn. I've had spotting instead of my usual period so my question is.. do I need to have a full period before I ovulate again? Or did I just have an anovulatory cycle, spotted because of this and I may ovulate again within the next couple of weeks? I cannot find the answer for this anywhere so wondering if any of you have had a similar experience? x
