On to thread 5 Ladies!

@Babyghirl

Please tag anyone I’ve missed from the old thread.

I’m currently enjoying my first glass of wine in about 10 weeks. Will happily give up alcohol for a baby but no baby I need alcohol 😂

Really hope that’s the start of a BFP for you @Babyghirl let us know when you test in the morning.

@Annny27 Sorry it looks like AF has arrived.

@Nuggetlover27 Fingers crossed for a positive FW

@kiwi17
Can take up to 2 weeks after a nagitive to ovulate again but also not everyone does ovulate until after a period following a miscarriage they say them opk is nt reliable after a miscarriage until u get ur period and start a new cycle, but worst thing you can do is stress I have been there 4 times nw and have learned relax approach is the best thing to do goodluck 💚

kiwi17 · 23/03/2021 06:28

Thanks @Babyghirl that's helpful. I know I need to be patient with my body but it's so hard!

Babyghirl · 23/03/2021 06:51

@kiwi17
The first 2 miscarriages I had after them I stressed so bad it took me a year to fall pregnant after them so the first 3 pregnancy's it took a year each time 4th time I fell I left the stress behind and fell pregnant ten weeks after my 3rd miscarriage also lost that I'm now waiting on my app for the fertility clinic nxt wed to c what is going wrong, but just go with the flow 💚

Annny27 · 23/03/2021 12:29

Ffs its cd7 and already had 2 days of exam which means an early ovulation! If it wasnt for the hycosy I would be delighted haha! But if I ovulate on cd10 I will have to have last minute sex and then cancel the hycosy because I will be on my period by the times its booked for! Not sure what I want to happen haha 😂😂

@BabyghirlThanks 🥰🥰 are you holding off of trying atm untill you have answers?

@kiwi17 I wasnt taking opks but I ovulated about 3.5-4 weeks after miscarriage and had period about 5.5 -6 weeks after. I actually still had a positive pregnancy test (faintl) when I ovulated!

Annny27 · 23/03/2021 12:29

Ewcm* not an exam hahaa

kiwi17 · 23/03/2021 20:48

Thanks @Babyghirl and @Annny27 that's good to know - it's definitely showing how different it is for everyone so I need to just relax (as much as I Can!!) It's only been 6 days since bleeding stopped so I'm probably getting wayyy ahead of myself. I hope you get some answers soon @Babyghirl

Babyghirl · 23/03/2021 20:57

@Annny27
Yea I think I'm going to don't think I could go through another miscarriage tbh and hoping nxt wed I have a plan after my app of the way to move forward 💚
@kiwi17
Thank you hopefully after app on Wed we know wat direction we r going 💚

justwant2beamum · 24/03/2021 17:47

@kiwi17 I'm going mad with this too. My ERPC was 5th March stopped bleeding last wed. Test vvvv faint on Sunday. Nothing on opks yet and I'm getting impatient already. I guess I just feel like I've lost my chance at a 2021 baby which is what I thought I was having and struggling with that x

kiwi17 · 24/03/2021 18:00

Ah @Justwanttobeamum it's so upsetting isn't It? I have been doing opks for a week now and today it was darker but still negative so I am hoping it might be in the next couple of days but who knows? You might just squeeze into the end of Dec if it happens soon but I know what you mean 🤞🤞 on the plus side hopefully 2022 will be our rainbow year ☺

justwant2beamum · 25/03/2021 17:08

@kiwi17 i thought I had ewcm and felt ovulation pain end of last week/last weekend which would have been about cd14 which is normal for me but as I was bleeding from the ERPC till CD13 and still getting positive HCG I wasn't doing opks and assumed it wouldn't be. So I'm wondering if maybe I already did ovulate... I'll carry on doing opks until I get AF I think. We DTD on CD13, 16 and 17. So if I did ovulate last weekend we at least had a shot. Also preparing for the fact I might not ovulate this cycle. Praying I get regular ovulation and AF asap

kiwi17 · 25/03/2021 17:59

@Justwanttobeamum that does sound positive though- fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

justwant2beamum · 25/03/2021 18:19

@kiwi17 well for now I'm assuming I didn't unless my body can prove me wrong by giving me a BFP 😂 did an OPK again today, barely a second line, all mine have been pretty non existent so far. Good yours was darker today! Do you usually use them? Do you increase testing to twice a day? Mines are normally not very dark, even in jan my highest in pre mom was 0.56 and it defo wasn't as dark as control line - but I must have ovulated cause I got pregnant.

kiwi17 · 25/03/2021 19:21

Fingers crossed your body proves you wrong @Justwanttobeamum 🤞🤞! I have used opks on and off, with my first it took 10 months and by the last few cycles we were using the opks which may have helped as I did then get pregnant? This time round it took 3 cycles to get pregnant which then mc but I only used opks the third month and it did seem to work. It was interesting because it got darker and darker and then I had 2 days when it was as dark or darker than control line so we were able to time dtd.. I've not got into doing it twice daily though as I'm a bit stingy with wanting to buy more tests 🤣 I normally just do fmu and leave it at that. I was temping last few cycles too but haven't started that again yet as I find it a pain to have to do it before I get up in the morning and on my days off wake up later than work days! Have you temped? Hope it works for you - mine have yet to show a positive line just keep fluctuating slightly darker then lighter again so I'm guessing it's because my cycles a bit chaotic atm. Same as you though- watching for ewcm and dtd every couple of days and we'll see what happens!

justwant2beamum · 25/03/2021 21:38

@kiwi17 what opks do you use? I've just got cheap easy at home ones but thinking I should maybe get clear blue?

kiwi17 · 25/03/2021 22:00

@Justwanttobeamum I only have the cheapie ones from Amazon- the thin cardboard sticks. I think I had the clear blue ones a while back but they're just so expensive if you don't get pregnant within the first cycle!! The cheapies worked fine for me in the past though.

Annny27 · 26/03/2021 11:38

So I am ovulating super early Haha cd10

I changed my hycosy now for April as I was worried I would be bleeding for it! If my period arrives and then it would get cancelled. So gonna quickly dtd today with the hope of potentially getting lucky with sperm meeting egg 😂😂

SLCxxx · 26/03/2021 12:25

🤣@Annny27 good luck!

@happygolucky20 thank you. Dreaded AF came for me on Tuesday so have ordered those vitamins to start today 🤞🏻

lozza2206 · 26/03/2021 15:08

@Babyghirl just wanted to write to say thanks for the tip on the folate!!! I have been taking it (along with b6) and I'm currently in my fertile window. Sorry TMI.... I have had so much EWCM!! I usually get it one or two days! Last month of using up my OPKs then gunna go for your tip and be relaxed xx

Babyghirl · 26/03/2021 16:10

@lozza2206
Fingers crossed its your month girl, I noticed that with them aswell so much ewcm which I never got I have my app on Wed and I'm excited but nervous at the same time just hoping he tells us wats going to happen next and I knw we r in the right direction 💚

lozza2206 · 26/03/2021 17:35

@Babyghirl wahoo not long now!!! This time next year you will be pregnant or holding your baby!! Are you sure it's not to do with your progesterone levels? That is quite a common factor in repeat losses... either way if they find something at least you know you can come up with a plan and solution 💕💕 sending you lots of love across the sea xoxox

Babyghirl · 26/03/2021 18:08

@lozza2206

Babyghirl · 26/03/2021 18:49

@kiwi17
Us ladies have this the right sperm and egg is coming for us all soon good luck ladies xx

ELM7 · 26/03/2021 20:37

CD1 here. Knew AF was coming yet still gutted to wake up to the wonderful cramps this morning. So this would be my last chance for a 2021 baby as if I was to get a BFP this cycle would be due right at the end of the year (cos yes I’ve already checked what my due date would be - why do I do it to myself every cycle!!)

Hope those in FW can have some fun DTD and that this is the lucky egg for you!
