I don't think I have everyone tagged so please pop yourselves in xx

Hi @VP91x thanks for checking in on me. Temp dropped again this morning (despite me taking the progesterone pessaries last night) so I’m thinking could this be an implantation dip now as I’m 7dpo?! Or am I just clutching at straws?!
Frustrating for you as well but I’m glad you have your scan and gynae apptment - those will provide answers! Well done for sticking with bbt and OPKS! It will happen! Xx

@VP91x I have pcos too and keep struggling with my weight. Had lost about 15 kgs and then this lockdown and MC has made my weight go up. And struggling with it right now.

How long have you taken it for? Will definitely give inofolic alpha a try after this cycle. Thank you. Please keep me posted on your progress. Fingers crossed it helps you.

@VP91x pic of my chart attached

@Firevie definitely could be an implantation dip also even if it is a fluctuation it isn't a huge dip and well within your higher range so don't worry too much about the fluctuations! How are you feeling in general?

@Furbsies I'm only recently diagnosed with PCOS and now so much stuff makes sense. My weight has always been a struggle too, great that you managed to get the 15kgs off when you did though. Did you do anything in particular? Yeah, I went with inofolic-alpha because it seems to have great success rates, but I've seen alot of posts where women have just taken myo inositol powder etc. It's all such trial and error isn't it. I'll definitely keep you updated - have you been referred for any ovulation induction or anything? xx

@VP91x I haven't been referred yet. I have pcos but pre MC had a regular cycle, I was diagnosed when I was 20 yrs old. So have known for a while.

Weight loss, basically I was portion controlling a lot and replacing snacks with fruits and nuts a lot. I also did go to gym 4 to 5 days a week.
Managed to lose the first 5 kg by just changing my diet a bit. And the other 10 was basically going to gym, I didn't do hiit though absolutely hated that. I did more weight based exercises. I did spinning but not intensively.

I was very dedicated then. Now with covid it's become hard. Have got an exercise bike at home now so hopefully just a few pounds off will help.

@VP91x thank you hun! Today feeling meh cos of work and a bit sniffly! But otherwise all good. Just hoping this is it🤞 Xxx

@vp91x we did 🙈 yest morning. I couldn't resist. He pulled out and I had a bath straight after so hopefully alls ok.
Our date was lovely, we are proper loved up lol came home and ate pizza 🥰

Gona test tomorrow and hopefully get a negative. Will be weird seeing bfp 😥 looking forward to shagging again lol I miss it lol

@VP91x this is it from this month. It says I’ve already ovulated so doesn’t match the one step tests. My clearblue ovulation tests Only came Friday so I can’t compare it to that either. I’ve been taking proceive this month for the first time and am starting to wonder if that has messed my cycle up xxx

@VP91x thank you for asking after me. You're right, I will try not to think to much about 'how' pregnant I am and just enjoy it. Having spoken to my OH this morning and agreed it would be good to have one for peace of mind, I've just booked an early scan for 31st Oct, I will be 8 weeks - fingers crossed 🤞🏼
I feel absolutely fine at the moment. No symptoms. I do feel like my period is about to start but I have felt like that with every one of my pregnancies. I tend to get sickness from about 7 weeks. I'll be almost glad when that happens as at least it will give me some confidence that things are progressing ok... urgh, pregnancy after a loss is such a scary time.
Good luck with your gynae appointment tomorrow. I really hope they give you some positive news.
What CD are you on? And can I ask how you managed to get Clomid and take it of your own accord? I thought it was prescription only. X

@Jazper definitely just enjoy it, that's what I'm trying to do at the moment! I was thinking to book my early scan for 31st too! I will be 8+4 then hopefully. The weekends before those are a bit tricky and I figure leaving till then will give a better opportunity to see something and a HB.
Enjoy the sickness free days too, I was hit with vomiting last night and it was truly unpleasant but like you say gave me confidence that things are ok and progressing! What a strange mindset we're in now X

It's like the mc has taken all the blissful naivety away isn't it @MrsK21 😕 hooray for sickness, as much as it'a unpleasant, it must mean your hcg is nice and strong 🥳. I've found you over on the pregnancy forum so will chat more there. I'm conscious of how I felt, desperately willing that bfp at the end of every cycle and having to read pregnancy related posts on here. It's just getting my head around it. This group is my security blanket for if (heaven forbid) the worst happens 🙏🏼❤️

@Jazper yes the other thread is definitely a nice space to be able to discuss things, I was nervous about joining too but was super conscious this a TTC thread. I'm still reading everyone's stories here but don't really want to derail TTC chat. The MC definetly takes all naivety away which horrid to deal with but the chances of something happening again are super low xxx

Ah so I’ve just been for my ultrasound & transvaginal too. Really threw me how there wasn’t a screen for me to see too (like there was at the 12wk). So it was a bit nerve wracking not knowing what they were looking for or seeing - tryna read their body language etc to try and interpret what they were seeing eek!

Ladies who had all tests etc - how long was it after all the tests that you then met with your consultant where they shared and explained the results?

Xxxxx

@VP91x a friend of mine used clomid but I remember her saying she needed her dosage upped - so hopefully it will just be a little tweak for you to get the ball rolling!

I’m currently on 13dpo - and cd27. No spotting (yay - as this was a post mc thing that was really annoying, so my cycle seems to be returning to pre-mc!) but now I’m just waiting for af to show - in some ways - the spotting let me know earlier and softened the blow! No idea when to test - as my cycle can be from 26-30days - does that mean I have to wait another 3 or 4 days before testing/to see if af shows?! 😫

@Bellabubble you could test now with an early response? X

Oh my goodness @Bellabubble I have everything crossed for you 🙏🏼🤞🏼

@Bellabubble this is exciting! I have everything crossed for you!!

🙏🏼 🤞 💕 💫✨

I think I’ve got my peak ... yay! Anyone else peaking? 😁

Just going to keep a look out for my temp rise now. Hoping it’s higher tomo morning as DTD is exhausting me! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😂

Ps have to ask... @Bellabubble- any symptoms? 😀

@RichmondLady1981 I think I got mine last night not 100% sure but have a progesterone blood test Friday so at least that will tell me if I’ve ovulated or not. Not looking forward to the TWW 😩 going to have to keep myself busy x

Ahhhh good luck @Sallyjo27. Wishing you all the best news for then 💕

Do you use OPKs Or temp to check ov?

@RichmondLady1981 thank you, I use both 😩😂 I use the cheapies and the clearblue ovulation tests (I ran out this month and think I’ve missed my ovulation with them) and I’ve got an ava bracelet but they’ve all been all over the place this month. I did have loads of EWCM the past few days so think/hope I’ve ovulated. What about you?
Fingers crossed the next 2 weeks go quickly and we will both get BFPs xx

@HappyVibes - I might send oh out tomorrow to get one whilst I’m at work! I ordered some on amazon - but they say between Weds and Fri (knowing my luck they’d be Friday lol!) but there’s the little voice in my head that says I could just have a longer cycle this month..bodies are so annoying sometimes!

@RichmondLady1981 pretty much everything I have felt symptom wise has been the same every tww since the mc lol! I’d say I’ve had more stabby type pains this time - and sore boobs (but get those before af just like I get a but crampy) The only weird thing my friend mentioned could be a sing was that on Sat I could taste blood on my mouth - but I do suffer from sinus problems - and they have been a bit blocked this week, so that could definitely explain the taste! To be fair - school is so crazy that Weds will be here before I know it and then Thurs if af hasn’t shown I’m technically late - so I don’t have too long to wait really! Just I have done SO well until this eve, and now it’s dragging lol!

@Jazper thank you! Huge congratulations to you too - such great news :)

@RichmondLady1981 so happy for you. According to my app I should be peaking tomorrow or Wednesday

Fingers crossed the tww goes well

Cycle day 21...7dpo...anyone else roughly the same? :)
