Please add anybody I've missed off!

@Elsie2021 I’m so sorry 😞

@Kay00 I would say after the first surge...but I’m just guessing 🤔

Happy Easter all! Curiosity got the better off me this morning so I tested and of course if was a BFN 🤣 I’m seriously going to try sit on my hands until AF does or doesn’t turn up! Had some cramps this morning so I think she may be gearing up for arrival!

Hi ladies

Just popping on to say hi! Nothing happening my end but checking in now and again on you all!

@Elsie2021 I had a mmc end of last year and we have a super supportive thread if you want to join! There is one for those experiencing a mmc and one for those ttc again after a mmc. Drop me a line if you want to come join us 🙂

Sending lots of love to everyone on here xx

@Elsie2021 I am so sorry to hear that x

@Kay00 I usually get 3 days of peaks, the second day has the highest peak and I ovulate the day after that. But I do think it varies by person.

@ChinChilly sorry about the bfn. But 9dpo is really early. I think waiting until af is late is a good idea. After my chemical I know I will be super anxious about line progression so I have decided if I get a positive I will just stop testing (at least that's the plan)

@Juno231 haha funnily enough you're not the only person who's said they're surprised you could have Antibiotics when pregnant! There are loads of options. Bladder infections can quickly move to kidneys when pregnant as it's a lot harder to fully empty your bladder when you pee so the bacteria just sits there! And there's a higher risk of Miscarriage. So it's great they got it sorted for me right away.

@Elsie2021 I'm so so sorry for your loss! Yes I had a MMC in January which ended in an MVA on the 14th. It took me just under 3 weeks to get a negative on a FRER and my first period came a few days later (12th February). I counted the cycle post MVA as my first cycle trying again, although looking back at it I wasn't really in with a chance! My temps were all over the place and I had quite a short LP as I Ovulated late in the month (due to the HCG levels being too high earlier in the month!). So I actually fell pregnant again on that 'second' cycle, starting 12th Feb. Hope that makes sense! You're apparently at a lower risk of subsequent miscarriage or pre-term birth if you get pregnant within 3 months of a miscarriage so that's a fact I held on to quite strongly too. There's a really lovely thread on here about TTC post-MC that I've been on with some ladies who MC around the same time as I did. I'll post a link in my next comment! I found it really helpful as there's lots of people going through the same❤️

I'm still nervous as hell but I'm 7+2 now and had a lovely scan with a heartbeat this week so I'm clinging on to that and just thinking positive thoughts where I can! 🌈🤞🏻🌈

@Elsie2021 I actually won't share the link as I've just seen @AMS19 comment above, definitely give her a message or have a search on the miscarriage/pregnancy loss board ❤️ they're both really lovely supportive groups!

@LauraT94 ❤❤❤

@Flowers222 I know, sometimes I look at it and think I can see a shadow then I give me head a wobble and remind myself I’m probably imagining it because I want to see it 😂

@Elsie2021 I'm so sorry 😞

@ChinChilly sorry about the bfn. Hopefully it's just early days for you yet.

I think I'm out. I tested yesterday and it was a bfn. I also had a bit more spotting. My temperature is still high i think but I've had disrupted sleep and taken it at 4.30am the last two nights. The converted temp is still way above the cover line but looking back at last month it was similar. It didn't drop until 14dpo and then the heavier fresh bleeding started so I might have a few more days of this stop-start spotting to go yet. Nevermind...onto cycle 9! OH has been great and agreed to dtd every other day from after AF has finished til confirmed ovulation. I think he was getting hung up on my opks and thinking it was pointless without it being a peak or flashing smiley but considering I went from blank to peak last cycle I think we maybe missed out on some fertile days.

Hope everyone is enjoying their bank holiday weekends. It's so lovely and sunny here today again 🌞

My temp went up a little this morning and my OPKs are back to negative. I have played with some higher temps in FF over next couple of days and it's predicting ovulation was yesterday or Friday. I really hope I have 🙏🙏🙏

But... just to jinx it I looked at a due date calculator 🙈 whhyyy?? Lol. Tbh I'll just be happy to ovulate! 😆 the due date would be 25th Dec 21 🙈🙈🙈 haha!!

@Kay00 Fingers firmly crossed for you! For both ovulation and a bfp!🤞🤞🤞 I did the old due date calculator too before the spotting started! I think it's because it's so close to Christmas that curiosity gets the better of you! Unfortunately that means I'm into the trying for a 2022 baby group! 🥴🤞

@Elsie2021 I'm so so sorry for your loss. Hope you have plenty of support around you xxxx

@FlyingGiraffe really sorry to hear it. Those milestones are so hard aren't they! Great that OH is so positive and supportive though and hope ye're having a good bank holiday weekend regardless.

@Kay00 fingers crossed for ovulation and BFP! I'm still in with a shot for 23 dec due date. What a gift that would be!!! But hopes get raised then get dashed again. Wish the due date wasn't so readily available.... you start building a little future in your head 🙈

@ChinChilly sorry about the BFN but still early days. Fingers crossed for you.

@Gracie2021 @FlyingGiraffe thanks both, I’ve been having pinching and pulling cramps all day, and I fell asleep for 3 hours earlier 😂😂 I’m trying to not over think anything I think it would just be too lucky to fall pregnant again straight away so I’m not holding out much hope.

@Kay00 keeping everything crossed for another temp rise tomorrow 🤞🏼

@FlyingGiraffe I start creating a future every time. The due date this time would be 17th Dec which is my mums birthday and I just think that would be lovely 🤞though getting some slight cramping today so not feeling really hopeful. I'm not sure why but this cycle I haven't been feeling as hopeful as I previously have. Maybe that's just what happens when you've been trying for awhile.

@Kay00 haha well they're all late anyway so realistically a Jan 2022 baby?? My due date would be the 16th of Dec so I've already decided that if I do get my bfp I'd do what OHs cousin did and go get a reflexology appointment in to start labour a couple of weeks early 😅

@FlyingGiraffe we can keep each other company in the 2022 group soon 😞

@juno231 haha, that would be a good plan 😄 I'll bear it in mind in case I ever do get pregnant and have an untimely due date!

Tentative woop! 🥳🥳🥳 thanks for all your support x

@Kay00 nice to see you have ovulated xx

CD2 today! AF has been a lot different this cycle and it’s been much heavier then usual. Onto cycle 7....

@Kay00 woohoo 🎉 🎉🎉 happy days!!! Not sure what the hell is happening with my temps here.

@Moocher90 sorry to hear it but really glad you have some support lined up this month. Does this mean you're CD4 for Wednesday's blood tests? Hope all goes well and you get lined up for the thyroid meds.

@Kay00 🙌🥳🎉 Amazing Monday morning news!

@Gracie2021 That is one heck of a rise! I would guess FF is waiting to see what your next couple of temps do before it decides on what day it thinks you ovulated. Or maybe it's the + opk and Peak opk results confusing it? I'm sure someone like @Juno231 or @kay00 will have more of a clue!

@Moocher90 sorry AF is heavier than usual. It's good you've got things lined up like you're bloods and thyroid meds though...all a step in the right direction to that Bfp!

@juno231 I sincerly hope you wont be joining me in the 2022 baby group. @Flowers222 @ChinChilly hope AF stays away for you both too!

I'm gonna put today as CD1...I might change my mind as it's still not much more than spotting. I feel like I need support on the every other day BD this month! Does anyone else want to give it a go or at least hold me accountable?! 😂Obviously I wont be starting for a week or so! But last month we were so slack at the start so my aim is from cd8/9! My GP said to try the eod thing and when I basically followed SMEP in January I had my chemical so I figure it's worth trying...I just cant do the 3 days in a row of smep! We ran out of steam at that point! 😂

@Kay00 woop!

@Gracie2021 that is a decent temp rise!

@FlyingGiraffe I aimed for every other day this cycle but I’m not too sure what happened 😂😂

My temp went back up abit this morning, I’m not holding out much hope though

Forgot to attach

That is some great coverage @ChinChilly! If you get a BFP we'll all be doing the 1-2-1-2-1-3 technique next cycle! 😂😂 Your chart is looking good still! Fingers crossed all that well timed BD worked! 🤞😁

@FlyingGiraffe I did notice the 1-2 pattern 😂😂 it wasn’t intentionally at the time 😂😂 I’m not feeling confident of a BFP tbh but we’ll see what happens over the next few days

@moocher90 @flyinggiraffe sorry AF has arrived for you both 😔 Moocher, I wonder if yours is heavier because you were able to confirm ovulation this time? On the other hand my AFs have been getting heavier and heavier with every month since I come of the pill.

@chinchilly great chart! Looks like you have a secondary estrogen surge on 6dpo then fingers crossed an implantation dip on 9dpo 🤞🤞🤞

@gracie2021 I would assume you ovulated on CD17 or CD20 but FF hasn't given you crosshair because you need 6 x lower temps before your temp increase after ovulation. If you put in a few dud temps between CD10 and CD16 I would imagine you'll get your crosshairs 😊

@Kay00 Could be an implantation dip, my RHR went up this morning aswell, only by 1bpm. Well I’ll hope for the best...expect the worst 😂
