✨ CD10 ttc after loss 🌈 who's with me for the new year?

[Bellesjp]

Hi all, does anyone want to join me for this cycle?

We're a year on from when we first started ttc last December after sadly having to have a TFMR in September as our baby was very poorly 😞 this will be our third cycle trying this time round, hoping for our rainbow in the new year 🌈💕

Sending everyone positive vibes and baby dust ✨

@Bellesjp IL join 🙌🤞 I think we have spoken on some other miscarriage threads before! I'm second cycle now after miscarriage and I'm cd 6 so not far behind you! Let's get these rainbows 🌈✨ xx

Hi @Skl2021 yes I remember you from another thread 😊 ooh yes we're in a similar place this month, are you using opks? I start mine from cd10 but don't usually ovulate until cd16/18, hoping will be earlier this month so we can dtd more before I go back to work on 4th jan, otherwise I'm knackered after work lol!

@Bellesjp yes we're not far apart! Last month I think I ovulated on cd 17. Will start the opks soon as mine changes every month 🙈 hopefully yours comes a bit quicker this month 🤞 my peak seemed to happen very quickly last month compared to before miscarriage! X

@Skl2021 mines been the same, I used to get high readings for several days before, then peak for 2 days, and now it goes high, peak and back to high in one day! I have to test several times a day to make sure I don't miss it! Also started temping again last month, I used it before I conceived last time to confirm ovulation, helps me to feel like I'm doing something!

@Bellesjp yes it's weird isn't it I was scared of missing it also so I was testing like a crazy women 🤣🤦 are you trying anything different this month? This month marks a year since we started ttc. Obviously I fell pregnant but never expected to be in this same situation a year later 😩 x

@Skl2021 I'm the same, we started ttc last December, seems like such a long time ago after we've been through a crap year and nothing to show for it doesn't it 😞 really hope 2022 will bring us some good news!

I don't think I've done anything different this month but since my tfmr I've added in some more vitamins, I rattle after I've taken them all lol! I take proceive prenatals with their omega 3, extra vit c, b6 and b12 which I took already but now also take inositol and choline as read about it reducing the likely hood of birth defects (my daughter sadly had several), and was also prescribed 5mg folic acid to take as well! My partner thinks I'm nuts with all my vits but makes me feel like I'm doing something to help!!

The month we conceived before I started using conceive plus lube as well so I've been using that as well, not sure if it was coincidence or not but can't hurt!

Is there anything you're doing differently this month?

@Bellesjp oh I really hope so 🤞✨ we deserve it! I have started taking my vitamins again. I take 5mg folic. B12 vitamin d. Vitamin c and vitamin b complex which i think has that inositol and choline in it actually 🤔 I feel like I rattle too and I hate taking tablets 🤦 I feel like iv done every routine when it comes to DTD so don't know what to try now 🤣 x

@Skl2021 haha me too with the dtd routine 🤣 I usually try and do every other day then 3 days in a row when I get peak opk, sometimes run out of steam though lol!! I think last time we dtd in the morning of ov, not sure if that helped but might try that again if I'm off work when I ov lol can't hurt!

I'm actually going to try some yoga this month as well and try and do a bit of exercise, I've let myself go a bit over Xmas and not feeling very healthy 🙈

@Bellesjp I tried the smep one month and that killed me off 🤣🤦 yes I don't really get time in the morning it's always at night we DTD wonder if that makes a difference 🤔 yes I need to start eating better too! Need to get rid of the bags of Christmas chocolate 😂🙈 x

Hi ladies, do you mind if I join? Im so sorry for both of your losses❤️ I hope you are both doing ok. A bit of background, I'm on my 2nd cycle following an early loss in November, also my 1st son died neonatally in 2019. We're been pregnant 3 times but only have 1 living child. I'm only on CD2 & don't usually ov until CD 18-20 so I have a bit longer to wait. Also mad with the vitamins! Think I take everything you both do too, but feel it's important. Hoping for the best for us all🤞🏼

@Skl2021 I don't think it should make a difference but might try it anyway 🤣 I'm the same trying to scoff all the chocolate so it's all gone lol

Hi @lionsmum yes of course you can join 😊 sorry for what you've been through glad were all on the same page with the vitamins, makes me feel better that I'm not mad lol I just think it's better to have them than not have them, can't hurt! Hope this is our month! X

@lionsmum welcome ✨

My partners just tested positive for covid so not sure what to do this month now, whether to still try, I'm due to ovulate in about 5 days 😞 we had covid same time last year and I'm sure it affected our fertility, just been reading online about it causing low sperm count so that's crap.. as if we need anything else thrown at us right now! X

@Bellesjp I'm sorry to hear that hope hes doing ok and you don't get it! I didn't know it affects so much 😩 we were still going to try this month and we both have it currently. Might have to read up on it now 🤦 seems the universe is throwing everything at me aswell not to get pregnant! Last month at ovulation me and oh both had the worst colds we have ever had. 🙄 X

Hi @Skl2021 sorry I didn't mean to scare you, it's probably just me being overly paranoid! I read a study about it affecting sperm count but I guess as with everything covid related it's relatively new so not been looked into too much. No peak opk for me yet, hoping it holds out for a week but doubt that will happen, probs come early this month so we can't dtd!!

@Bellesjp how is your oh? I'm hoping it doesn't affect to much were going to give it a go anyway don't want to waste this month. I took an opk today and it seems very dark for cd 9 don't know if I should start DTD or if there just sensitive tests and this is my usual level 🙈🤣🤔

@Skl2021 yeah you may as well go for it if you've both got it, I'm just trying to stay away from him 🙈 he's fine but he's coughing a bit so I've shut him in the spare room lol.

Mine are probably like that too atm but usually are like that for a bit before it goes as dark as the control. Won't hurt to dtd anyway! X

@Bellesjp yes my oh had the cough and aches headache fever but IV been fine and we haven't kept apart as kids have it too. Hope he gets better before ovulation comes 🤞 mine last month were stark white until like a day before ovulation then back to white again after! So don't know what's going on this time 🤣🤦 might wait until I get some ewcm unless I don't this month 🙄🤔 so confusing after miscarriage everything is turned upside down don't know what's happening! X

@Skl2021 it's so confusing when things keep changing isn't it. Mine don't ever seem to be stark white so I must always have a bit of lh in my system 🤷🏼‍♀️ never seem to notice any ewcm either but I must have had some to have conceived before, I use conceive plus lube just in case as meant to replicate it. We don't have any living children but have conceived twice before so just keeping my fingers crossed that everything is as it should be and third time lucky 🤞🏼

How you guys doing @Skl2021 and @lionsmum?

I'm still waiting for peak opk, my apps saying should be today but not got darker yet, although I did have a bit of a temp rise this morning so not sure what that's about!

@Bellesjp hi! I'm cd 12 but opks are still the same 🙄😩 so don't think it will be anytime soon 🤦 what cd u on? I'm getting bored of waiting already x

@Bellesjp I'm doing ok thank you, on CD7 & don't usually ov until CD18-21 so I have a little while to go, trying not to think about it too much. What CD are you on? Hope you don't have too much longer to wait🤞🏼me too @Skl2021 waiting for that peak OPK when you know it's close is so frustrating😅

@lionsmum yes it's frustrating as I ovulate on different days each month so I don't know when to expect it 🤦 so testing is the only way to know! But now IV had like 6 days of testing and it's not budging still the same darkness 😬 Doing my head in now dont want to start DTD and run out of steam if I'm not ovulating any time soon! 🤣🙈 x

@Skl2021 mines the same been testing since cd10 and and still the same! I usually ov between cd16-20 so could be a while yet!

@lionsmum I'm cd16 today, hopefully it will come round quick for you! It drags so much doesn't it, wish I had a 28 day cycle and ov cd14 sometimes!

@Bellesjp your close tho hopefully next few days! 🤞 My cycle changes every month but the month I conceived I had the perfect cycle and ovulated on cd 14! Now I'm thinking if I can only get pregnant when I have that cycle again 🤦🤔 x
