Hya all

I am new to mums net. I am currently in my tww and losing hope again for this month. My af is due Friday the 24th. I have no symptoms really! Slight bruised feeling in sides of my boobs, and yesterday and sharp stabbing pains in my pelvic area. That's about it really. Just feel like af will show again and it's not happened again. This was my chart for this month as well and when we dtd

@FlyOnTheWall89 hope your tww goes quickly!

I’m feeling knackered but not looking into it

Should get my bloods tomorrow too

Mama500 · 10/01/2022 20:43

Bright red blood out of nowhere tonight!!! I really don’t know what’s going on with my body anymore. Clear CM all day

FlyOnTheWall89 · 10/01/2022 21:37

@Mama500 this could be a good sign! Have you done an early test?

Mama500 · 10/01/2022 22:20

@FlyOnTheWall89 I don’t think so bright red blood just came out of nowhere 🙈 will wait a few days but having cramps too so guessing very early AF again

FlyOnTheWall89 · 11/01/2022 09:19

@Mama500 how are you feeling this morning?

I think I am around 7/8DPO.... I have very achy teeth. I do grind my teeth so maybe I'm doing it really badly at the moment but I've read it can be a really early symptom.

Mama500 · 11/01/2022 12:00

@FlyOnTheWall89 like this is AF and I’m a bit fed up now! Why is she coming so early all the time

In other news my results all normal.

Fingers crossed!!! Any other symptoms? X

Mama500 · 11/01/2022 13:07

BFN - So fed up and upset 💔

FlyOnTheWall89 · 11/01/2022 13:30

Oh so sorry @Mama500 - so frustrating! How long have you been trying, I can't remember! Would it be worth speaking to your GP about the short phase of your cycle and the change? Have you ever had an internal ultrasound ?

Mama500 · 11/01/2022 13:37

Just feels like it’s never going to happen.

Trying since June. I have a 2yo who took 12-18 months to conceive.

I’ve had ultrasounds previously and all been ok.

Just me I guess although this early spotting cannot help at all.

how are you feeling @FlyOnTheWall89

Cruz86 · 11/01/2022 14:41

Sorry to hear about your bleeding @Mama500 😩 what cd did the spotting start? Did the initial bloods cover progesterone or not?

@FlyOnTheWall89 how are you doing? Are you going to hold off with testing or test over the next few days?

I'm only on cd 14 and I feel like I had a bit of a temp dip this morning so hopefully ovulation will be soon! Not really got any cm though so not sure.

How are you @Ladylou17? 5 months after mc must be difficult.

xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 11/01/2022 14:55

@Mama500 I'm sure it will happen. You've been through this before and I'm sure you felt like that at times the first time around. Have you had an AMH blood test to check ovarian reserve? Frustratingly it might just be a waiting game - waiting for that perfect combo. It is so hard and I totally emphasise with you feeling completely fed up - I am 9 months in and do too. CD1 is always the hardest for me. I hope you feel better in a few days, try to stay positive for the next cycle. X

FlyOnTheWall89 · 11/01/2022 15:03

@Cruz86 hi! I have progesterone bloods on Thursday. I think I'm still a bit early to test tbh. I feel pretty tired today but I'm not going to read too much into anything. OH is having a SA in the next few weeks thankfully so maybe that will shed light on this or maybe just reassure us that we just need to be patient.

I'll keep everything crossed for you for this cycle! Have you followed any 'plan'? X

Cruz86 · 11/01/2022 15:52

Oh amazing @FlyOnTheWall89. Wouldn't it be great if they came back high and it's because you conceived?! You'll have to keep us updated. Is the tiredness and achy teeth usual for you at this time? Fingers crossed this is the month! What did your temp dip look like before ovulation? I'm trying to figure out if mine is just an odd one and if I'm still a few days away yet 😂

We've literally dtd once, a couple of days ago. But only because I don't normally ovulate until cd18/19 so I thought it was still a bit early. I bought some conceive plus gel to try something new, but I won't be dtd as regularly as the cycle we conceived. It will just be as and when we feel like it, so maybe another two times around ovulation! Still trying to learn about my body after the mc at the moment too X

FlyOnTheWall89 · 11/01/2022 16:02

@Cruz86 yessss I was wondering what would happen if that was the case. Presumably the doctors are quite used to it. Achy teeth definitely no, but I am aware I am grinding so it could be a few nights of bad grinding. Tired, no... we have exceptionally early mornings but I'm usually pretty resilient until about 9pm and then I get sleepy 😂. I'm going to try to not think about it too much because it is pretty unlikely than likely.

I've attached my chart. I did have a slight fever on the 6th Jan which annoyingly could have given me an artificial spike ... no clue if this looks normal or anything... I think it would take me a few months to notice a pattern. It always feels good to try something new. I got a positive OPK on the 3rd dot within the green shaded area... it was a super dark one so I could have just missed my peak.... which then would make sense with the temp rise?! It's so easy get obsessed haha.

2WW anyone? Af due Friday
Ladylou17 · 11/01/2022 16:09

@FlyOnTheWall89 looks good, hopefully if you have another slight thermal shift that'll be a good sign. Good luck with blood tests. I'm having some done in February if no luck this month.
@Mama500 sorry to hear that lovely. Are you taking any supplements? I've started taking conceive plus which has made my LH surge 13 this month from average 9/10 so I'm hoping is a good sign.
@rita83 how are you doing? To be honest it is hard every month that goes by is so draining I thought we'd be pregnant by now but sadly not. Hope you are doing ok, it's really rough isn't it xx

Cruz86 · 12/01/2022 15:36

I really don't want to sound too optimistic and get your hopes up @FlyOnTheWall89, but it does sound really positive!! Do you normally grind your teeth?

You get so much info with the Ava! So are you around 7dpo? Im still getting to grips with reading charts. I thought I had my temp drop yesterday but today it just seems to have gone back to my regular daily temps 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I couldn't resist and did an opk today, think ovulation will be over the next couple of days! X

2WW anyone? Af due Friday
Cruz86 · 12/01/2022 15:40

I'm sure it is tough @Ladylou17 😞 what cycle day are you on now, sorry if you've already said! I feel okay this month actually. It's the first proper cycle since the mc and I'm just getting used to how my body is working for now. That's not to say I wouldn't love a bfp of course, but I've told myself to not get so obsessive this time xx

Ladylou17 · 12/01/2022 16:07

Sorry @Cruz86 meant to tag you below!
I'm 2dpo now so wait to see what happens this month. I hate the tww
I'm trying not to be obsessive either, I did no temping last month but found it didn't help me relax any more about it.
What cycle day are you? Hopefully not long till ovulation for you xx

Mama500 · 12/01/2022 19:24

Cycle day 1 here ladies

Think I might have to start OPK again as my cycle is all over the place

Good luck to you all for this month!

Cruz86 · 12/01/2022 22:13

I guess that's the problem isn't it, when you want it so much nothing will stop you from being obsessive 😩 fingers crossed this is your cycle @Ladylou17.

Oh I'm sorry @Mama500 😞 I do like opks just to give you an idea at least. Especially if things are a bit over the place at the moment.

Cruz86 · 12/01/2022 22:14

Oh and I'm cd15 at the mo @Ladylou17! Had a high opk today so hopefully ovulation is imminent xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 13/01/2022 06:33

@Mama500 sorry 😢 - it is so tough... I was so hopeful for you.

@Ladylou17 I'm in the 2WW too, but a bit further ahead. Time moving at the speed of an overweight snail.

@Cruz86 woooo good luck this cycle.

Nothing to report here. Bloods today ekkk. Hate having them done. Presume results will be in nearly next week. Also booked private AMH test to check ovarian reserve - that will be done in about 10 days. X

Ladylou17 · 13/01/2022 08:52

@FlyOnTheWall89 I know the feeling how many dpo are you? Good luck with the blood tests
@Mama500 sorry lovely good luck this month I do use ovulation tests just to be sure
@Cruz86 hopefully ovulation is round the corner now :)
Only 3dpo today but have had weird sharp pains in my right side. Goodness knows why but isn't usual for me xx

Mama500 · 13/01/2022 08:54

Thanks ladies

Good luck in your tww @Ladylou17 and @FlyOnTheWall89 and with your bloods

@Cruz86 glad you are doing well!! Good luck x

Mama500 · 13/01/2022 08:56

@FlyOnTheWall89 sorry I didn’t see above questions. It was cycle day 21 bloods.
The spotting started on day 23 I think
