How is everyone? I'm CD15 first clean cycle after MMC, no sign of ovulation but temps look normal for me overall. Just focusing on DTD and waiting for ovulation.

@PrettyPinkPansies I'm sorry AF got you. Sometimes our bodies seem to be so mean

Thanks everyone. Hope everyone is okay. App is predicting a 36 day cycle I'm assuming this is because of how long the mc cycle was. What has everyone else's experiences been like with their cycle length the first one after mc?

@PrettyPinkPansies I am still in my first proper cycle since MC and at CD16. My AF came 5 and a half weeks after surgical management so I considered that a long cycle. Prior to MC my cycle was around 28 days with a day or two either side at times. I am planning on leaving testing until I am a week late based on a 28 day cycle as my feeling is I could so easily have a 35 day one since cycle after MC was long. I will keep you posted though, a BFP would be a bonus but I am geared up for expecting AF this month, just given my cycle is still settling down.

@ELMcg good luck have you done any OPKS? Keep me posted x

@PrettyPinkPansies I've done loads 😂 nearly finished a 20 pack of CB and no peak yet, but I am convinced I've missed it as the first time ever I noticed so much Ewcm yesterday and today nothing whatsoever. DTD plenty but I feel like I need one normal AF before I feel like it'll be likely to get a BFP. You never know it could be this month!

@ttcrainbowbaby1 @Pancakes7 me and OH do exactly the same - we make it even worse for ourselves and work out when we'd tell people and link it to birthdays/special occasions etc. If we were lucky this month an early 8 week scan would fall the week of my dads birthday. But ... the month normally passes and then we're onto planning the next!! We basically torture ourselves. Are we crazy? Haha!! Nearly into 8dpo...I think @SLCxxx you said you were the same. How are you all feeling? Exciting @ttcrainbowbaby1 that you have felt some movements ... keeping everything crossed for you all 🤞🏼

@ELMcg you and I are shoulder to shoulder! CD16 here too, EWCM and no positive OPKs or ovulation temps! Hopefully we both see ovulation soon

@Ra1nb0w85 My dh isn't the same, I just think of it all myself. He's more matter of fact. Like it'll happen when it happens. I mostly only work out the due date. But the last month I worked out roughly when my early scan would be. This time I'm kind of over it? Like I don't think I'll happen any time soon. I'm trying to stop obsessing. Easier said than done!

@ttcrainbowbaby1 Fingers crossed it was implantation.

Thinking about it. This is the first month I haven't been obsessively symptom spotting. I think it's just been so long for me. I'm getting used to trying. Hopefully me relaxing will be a good thing.

So sorry @prettypinkpansies xx

@TheDaydreamBelievers I'm on day 7 of a flashing smiley now so its been coming for a while now. I have 3 tests left so just going to text the next 3 days and DTD every other day and then leave it for this month. I've had twinges and Ewcm and based on last time I got pregnant I would ovulate either today or in the next day or two.

Just incase anyone's in need of a chuckle...
DTD last night, DH was spooning me. It was lovely, everything came to an end and we were lying sweetly discussing how nice it would be to catch this cycle when I coughed unexpectedly and violently ejected him (and any chances from last night 🤣) had to change the sheets after 😭🤣🙈
I'm on CD19 and am pretty sure I've ovulated between CD16 and CD18 but I had prolonged version of my usual surge and then a second weaker peak this cycle so that's if I've ovulated at all 😕 counting myself as 1dpo today and trying not to be too hopeful - don't feel like I'll ever have an optimistic TWW again. I was around 12/13 day luteal before MC so marking due AF Friday 19th / Saturday 18th - any cycle buddies on here?

@pancakes7 I’m with you on the lack of symptom spotting - I just can’t be arsed to do it anymore. Don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the month that I caught was the first month I genuinely couldn’t be arsed with tracking anymore so I’m hoping it works again going forward ✨🌈

@mrswilso 🙈😂 oh dear, that is funny but unfortunate lol. When I caught with my son it was after we had argued about the pressure and I had said just forget it and I'd given up. We must have caught a couple of days before. They do say when you relax it usually happens. Hopefully this is our year 🤞🏻

Hahaha @mrswilso ! I'm sure you didnt... expel it all!

@ttcrainbowbaby1 @Ra1nb0w85 7dpo and counting. It's snowed here, so think we'll be staying in. So the next few days will be long 🙈

@mrswilso hahahaha hilarious - hopefully some made it 😂🙈 with both you and @Pancakes7 on the symptom spotting, I really cba anymore.

@TheDaydreamBelievers @ELMcg Fingers crossed for your peak soon ladies, can't be long 🤞🏼!

I'm CD7 today and just started OPKs as I ovulated on CD12 last month and has a 19 day luteal phase which was really weird. Hoping for something a little more normal this month but thought I'd start the OPKs early incase I ov early again 😊

@bez91 thank you! Day 8 of flashing smiley for me. I've got 2 strips left so just going to test until Wednesday and then assume I've missed it. Will keep DTD every other day until next weekend just in case as don't know what else to do really? Anyone else never got a static on CB advanced digital?

So just a little update. I’m only 8DPO today but I caved (I know, ridiculously early and silly) BUT on a FRER I think I have a VERY faint line. Definitely with colour and appeared within one minute. Not getting excited yet and will need to wait a few more days and take another when hopefully it’s a proper positive but there’s hope at least..

Sorry the photos didn’t attach last time

@Strawberry08 I can definitely see a line for sure 🤞 fingers crossed for u. Have you got any symptoms at all? X

@Florence15 thank you, I’ve had lots of chemicals so won’t be getting excited until it’s a blazing positive and get to two weeks post period due! I’ve got sore boobs (that I’ve had since 3DPO), weird blocked nose, feel really warm and lots of cm (sorry tmi). X

@Strawberry08 well I’m praying for a sticky one for you this time. Symptoms are a good sign too 🤞. Xx

@Strawberry08 I can see a line, fingers crossed for you 🤞🥰

@ELMcg CD18 and flashing smiley still for me too!

@Strawberry08 I can see it! 😆

@Ra1nb0w85 I’m 7dpo today so you might be 1/2 days ahead of me... testing time soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Pancakes7 it's snowed here too and still going ... the next few days are going to drag for us aren't they 🤯
@Strawberry08 I see the line!! Keeping everything crossed for a sticky one.

Has any read Luisa Zissman's maybe baby blog? I'm not sure whether to start taking Coq 10? I take pregnacare which has 20mg in it but the tablets have 300mg in. Does any one else take it? X
