🦕🦕 The dinosaur crew - part 8 ttc after mc 🦕🦕

[Annny27]

Hi ladies,

You know the drill after this long haha! All of us ladies are ttc after miscarriage (whether that's MMC, MC, TFMR, ectopic or CP)

I will tag people in next message :)

I'm still confused my period has only been for two days. Going to do a test as this is what happened last time I was pregnant

@apwilso get testing girl and let us know! I don't know how you can't test like crazy. I sometimes test when I know AF is in full swing just incase haha.

Anyone fancy having me on their DMs and helping me figure out when I ovulate this month? Don't want to clog this thread up with my crazy poas. I've been having multiple peaks and now my cycle has calmed back down post MC I want some help. My poor DH can't keep up with it all so want to try and make it count when it counts. DM me please, can't ask DH because it gives him stage fright knowing it's time...

@peanuttybutter go ahead and clog up the thread because I don't think you can send photos on dm!

@apwilso omg yes test!

@babyghirl that sounds promissing. My periods were heavier for a while after laparoscopy which was a nice change!

@kelb79 maybe your DH is a bit depressed with rhe infertility- I know mine is! And it can sometimes come across that he doesn't care about anything but I know he is just as lost as I am

@Annny27 yeah, I know it’s getting him down too, he drinks to escape overthinking and then he wants to talk but I’m hardly drinking, obviously, and get tired so want to sleep when he wants to talk…. Our schedules are clashing massively! We had a great first week of holiday, felt like we got closer and laid some ghosts to rest but it’s gone downhill since then 😣 I think we’ve still got to figure out how to get through this together!

@apwilso defo test chick!! Put your mind at rest!!

@PeanuttyButter clog away!!! I could do with focussing on someone other than myself 🤣🤣

@Babyghirl yay for healthier periods!! Mine was sooo healthy the last couple of months but has been weird as hell this month 🙄😵‍💫

Ok this was last month's...

@PeanuttyButter
I would say you had a few days of high fertility and took awhile for your peak to be gone I would say u ovulated after your 1st of Jan peak, as your body can gear up then fail and that's how you get another peak reading x

@Annny27
@Kelb79
Still red now but only on wiping never been red for this long this is cd4 norm brown by CD 2 so only a day and a half of red norm 💚

Thanks @Babyghirl that's what I thought especially as I had no more highs after that. It's just so frustrating though as you see the first peak and then have no energy for the second.. anyways I will keep you posted on this month. So far all 0% but I'm only CD 8, hoping it starts to climb over the weekend.

@PeanuttyButter
I'm cd4 today so not to far behind you, it's a cold one today pot of stew ready and going to have a chill night you any weekend plans 💚

@Babyghirl bit of DIY, see some family. Try and chill really. Looking forward to the weather improving so I can get out and about a bit more.

Anyone else doing anything exciting?

@PeanuttyButter i have similar things happening with ny cycle rn. And also got tired after 2 peaks. And ovulated on 3rd one i think.
But it's what was said before... the body gears up but just can't. So tries again later...
So would also think 1st of jan is ovulation.

MIL arrived today with SIL. I had an argument with DH in front of them 🥲 classic.
But i like them so it's nice for me! Going for a little hike in the mountains hopefully tmrw if not snowing!

Anybody in the tww?

@PeanuttyButter oh trust me I'm bad for that it's because I've ran out🤣 I tested and were convinced we can see a faint faint faint faint line on CB but we've got line eyes so onto the next cycle?!

Anyone used CB fertility monitor. I've just got one and excited to see if it can help! Pricey but hopefully it works!

@PeanuttyButter
I'm painting r bar out the back today lol, pups have been evicted out to the kennel, mind you only 3 left so not to bad 💚

Ok guys. From literally nothing yesterday to this, this morning. Hopefully this is the start of my peak. Sorry for the spam in the next 24hs xx

What do we think...

@PeanuttyButter my peaks last between 1 - 3 days so I think you will either be ovulating today or tomorrow :) try make sure you test when your urine is concentrated otherwise it might give a false high or low reading when actually it is peak :D

@Annny27 I've noticed that I can get a false peak in the morning (second urine) if my urine is concentrated, but then faint later in the day. On days where i think it's my actual peak though the levels are high even when my urine is dilute. Its those that I don't trust.
My issue is now that we DTD last night..donee do it tonight or wait til tomorrow. DH won't do all 3, sadly we started early this month because we were actually in the mood and then it came round to fertile week straight away. I'm tempted to say leave it til tomorrow but of course always panic that I've missed the chance.

I read somewhere that it is best to do opk in the afternoon as the surge tends to happen in the morning so it will be in your mid afternoon urine for sure.
Defo don't use FMU!

This is mine from 15.20 this afternoon. 200% according to the app which is higher than the 'peak, this morning

So. When do I dtd next? We did it last night. Do I wait til tomorrow evening or do it tonight? If I do it tonight I can't tomorrow more than likely. Ideal compromise would be tomorrow afternoon but we are both at work til 5

@peanuttybutter can you do it tomorrow morning?

@Annny27 I don't think DH would tbh. He already finds DTD on command (so to speak) difficult and this would be right out of the norm.

@PeanuttyButter mine has serious issues with DTD on command too, he had all these romantic hopes of a beautiful natural conception and hates the science 🙄 how are your seduction techniques??!! 🤣 I go for the morning seduction while he’s basically still asleep…. He pretty much lies back and thinks of England but I can deal with that coz it gets the job done 🤣🤣🤣

@apwilso what’s happening chick?? Any more bleeding? Any more lines??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@Sweetbabydust1989 how are you and that bean doing?? ❤️❤️

Where’s everyone at? I lost track in my travels home!
Predicted fertile window (which I’ve gotta say, Premom almost always gets bang on!) started on Saturday….. I managed to get a sneaky BD in on Saturday morning but then we flew home Saturday night, got in late and stayed in London before getting the train home on Sunday. We’ve both been exhausted and then sick!! And we’ve been super ratty with each other 🤣🤣 I almost forgot I was due to OV until I got slammed with a load of CM! 🙈🤷🏼‍♀️
Tested and got a high, peak tomorrow I’d reckon….. so OH has gone for a drink under strict instructions that he’s got work to do tonight….. and tomorrow…. And the day after 🤣🤣 he’s had his break!! 🤣

@Kelb79 hope you enjoyed your holiday in all. Nice timing skipping the wait for fertile week to start. Pretty sure I've ovulated today as got some pain and my peak has vanished so fingers crossed it was today. Managed to dtd tonight so fingers crossed. Is it worth doing it tomorrow you think?
My seduction technique is shocking. We've been together almost 20 years so he knows all my tricks and can't be fooled. Just had to try and keep things sexy at random times to throw him off the scent. In the end though he knows.

I just keep thinking that time is running out for a 2022 baby even, and here's me thinking that I was going to have an early 2021 baby. Gonna be celebrating friends baby's first birthday before I'm even pregnant again

@PeanuttyButter don’t lose Hope lovely ❤️❤️ God I know how hard it is to follow that advise but we’ve gotta keep battling on 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Defo worth getting another sneaky BD in tomorrow if you can or even skip tomorrow and go for the day after - that’s one of the bits of advice in The Egg Meets The Sperm 👍🏼👍🏼
We had a good holiday thank you 🙏🏼 Despite the couple of blips it was definitely what we needed! I was starting to get really down after the MC in September, I just needed a little reset. It’s definitely helped. I would have been 6 months today and I’m sad but not quite in the headspace I was.
Trying to be hopeful! There’s still plenty of time for that 2022 miracle 🙏🏼🙏🏼
What’s your full story lovely? Where are you at now? xX
