TTC February/March

[Sallyjo27]

Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@MammaJ21

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is doing ok today.

Really helpful reading all your posts etc.

So I had a positive opk test Thurs Eve and Fri morn. Dtd Wednesday night but haven't managed to since. However, just did an opk and it's positive again... had some little cramps year and today (ovulation) just a bit confused as to why it's positive today. Definitely think I missed the window of opportunity after the initial positive opk in Thurs.

Anyone experienced similar?

I should maybe add some context here. I already have a little boy.I found out I was pregnant in Jan then had a MC around 6.5/7 weeks. From day one of bleed/MC I had my next period 27 days later. it's now 15 days since that period began. x

Hi all,
Im on CD3 today and periods a lot lighter and getting brown blood..tmi
Anyone else not have very long periods..
I mean like only 4 days???

@MammaJ21 sorry for your loss xx what OPK's are you using? were they getting stronger or are they the same? And are you doing them at the same time of day or different times?

I used to have awful painful heavy long periods before I went on the pill. Took me about 2-3 years to be regular again after coming off the pill but now I have one possibly 2 days at a push of heavy bleeding and then just brown spotting after that. My period is normally 5 days absolute maximum. My cycle is 33/35 days.

Hello ladies ❤️ I hope you are all well? I took a bit of break from here whilst I got my head in a better place. We are still trying this month, now using conceive plus lube and my partner taking macca root as well. I take seven seas too. We are not doing opks or temp. Just going with my normal cycle... less pressure and bulking DTD around one week.
We have now officially been referred- just waiting for a phone call to book the initial appointment. I'm anxious but pleased things are moving forward. Any ideas what to expect at the first appointment? Xxx

hey...I try to do the same time but if I'm honest they're not all. But it was deff positive Thurs Eve/Fri morn then lighter since until today it was the same as the control line again. I'm sure that it's too late this month now.. we only dtd the day before the positive..so doubt that will have happened

@laura2093 good luck. For the appointment but also hoping that you won't need it! ❤️

I've had so many squirrel sightings this weekend 😆🐿️ but to be honest I think AF is going to show if not tomorrow then in the next few days. I'm only 7DPO! But I think it's happening. Oh well. Hope at least not for a few more days so I'm not worrying about luteal phase being too short! How is everyone else getting on? X

@laura2093 hope it goes ok lovely xx

@minthumbugs fingers crossed not for you. I felt like that for 10 days last cycle, so frustrating! I'm 5DPO now. Desperately trying to not symptom spot but my boobs have been really achy since yesterday. I'm due on a week on Wednesday so have ages to wait!!!

@lucea87 god ten days! You just want it over with as well! I'm actually not symptom spotting at all because I think my body is still not back to normal post MC, the spotting has never stopped so don't think I was ever in with a chance this month. Fingers crossed for you! Do you normally get pms symptoms? X

@minthumbugs I'm always moody in the week leading up and get sore boobs a few days before. I'm knackered cos I've not slept well this weekend so I'm moody AF and trying not to read into it 🤣 cannot deny that my boobs KILL though!

@lucea87 that was my first symptom with my LO! Way before I thought I could be pregnant. I remember coming home from work and throwing myself face down on the bed and bouncing straight back up my boobs were so sore 🤣🤣 never had it before or since!

I hope it's my early sign too 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼they are so sore! I felt sick last night and this morning but I don't think that was related xx

@lucea87 obviously everyone is different butttttt I am not kidding... I had exactly that too 🤣🤣🤣 super super early I felt sick, didn't think anything of it. A week or so later my partner was in the shower and I had to run into be sick and that was that! Ohhhh I hope this is it for you ❤️

Here's hoping! I can't let myself be hopeful though. But I am seeing more rabbits which aren't Easter related so hopefully that's my sign too. I feel rough as today, but I've not slept well this weekend so could just be that. Femometer says I should start testing on Friday. I've got 3 FRER but don't want to waste them 😂 I went on a pregnancy test buying spree a couple of weeks ago and got 2 CB digi's too and I've got some femometer tests but having now read the reviews I don't think they will be very good....!!xx

I've not had any updates coming through. Thought you'd all just gone quiet 🤣

@mammaj21 sorry to hear of your loss. I've heard that HCG can stay in the system for a while after a MC. I'm not saying that's what happened but it's a possibility your opk was picking up on left over HCG and is now showing LH surge. I imagine it is all very confusing after a MC but hopefully your body will return to 'normal' asap.

@mum2girls19 actually quite relieved you asked that as mine are light too. Max 2 days of 'flow' and then light spotting.

@lucea87 and @minthumbugs everything crossed for you that it's your time!

@kaylsd sorry no surge yet but hoping you're still enjoying the holiday spirit of your birthday!

@laura2093 good luck lovely. I don't know what to expect but I hope they're really helpful, understanding and reassuring xxx

@Slinks8113 how are you doing today? I was all over the place yesterday thought just normal hormones but could have been mother's day related. Sorry to hear your dp was insensitive about it all. Lots of love XXX

@katieloola how's life in isolation?

Got my OvuSense and hoping I stop spotting today so I can start using it tonight! Think I'll start testing with Ivy on Friday.

Come on ladies, let's have ourselves a lucky month/cycle!

Hello. Thanks. yes o read that too....but have had negative preg tests since the MC. initially they were positive but deffo negative now and before my last period too.Thanks for commenting that though as it probably does confuse some people too.

will do another opk test today but guessing it'll be negative again. Last couple of days had some ovulation cramps..not like period as they're normally more constant and last days. It's all so confussing.

How long after positive opk test/oh surge do you all say you ovulation...or more importantly have the potential to get preg..and how many days before

sorry I know it seems silly buy just wondering people's stories/successes etc as the more you search these things the more slightly different takes you read on it!

I just go with my BBT confirmation. Usually I o the next day.

Just been for a nice long walk with the doggo. What do I see in the distance running across the hill? A rabbit!! A flipping rabbit!!! Never seen a rabbit round here 🥰🥰🥰🐇🐇🐇🐇

Awwww @lucea87 :) Woohooo!!

Thought AF had started today as I thought! Because the constant annoying spotting has been the heaviest it's been today apart from a couple of odd days. TMI but only brown blood though. Damn bodyyyyyyyyyy.

Hi ladies..sorry been quite but have been reading the posts.
@lucea87 what cd are u on
@minthumbugs it might be implantation bleeding?

Fingers crossed it's implantation @minthumbugs xx

@Iloveoreos I am CD25 out of 33/34 and I'm 6DPO today.

I'm addicted to buying tests. I've stocked up on FRER so I can take one every day from Friday (I'm kidding myself that I won't do one on Thursday!!). Or if It's positive then I'll take them all 😂😂😂

@lucea87 i have about 20 cheapy ones (came with opk sticks) and about 3 frer and 1 cb 🤣 the cheapy ones can get addicting

[quote Iloveoreos]@lucea87 i have about 20 cheapy ones (came with opk sticks) and about 3 frer and 1 cb 🤣 the cheapy ones can get addicting[/quote]
I've got cheapies too which will see my through my POAS addiction I hope 😂😂😂 just cross your body that I get my BFP on Friday!!

I've been feeling quite sickly again today, but trying not to read into it

@Iloveoreos I would love to think so! But I don't think it's the case unfortunately, I've been spotting for the majority of this cycle so I think it's just refusing to go away tbh.

@lucea87 oh hopefully by the end of this week it's all happening for you!! Xx

Aww @lucea87 god willing it works out for all the ladies trying this month xx
