@Bundaberg84 you aren’t meant to have sex until bleeding has stopped. From MC. I’m still waiting.

Bundaberg84 · 19/01/2022 12:26

@PamelaDoov I'm sorry, makes sense now. I had a very early MC and an ectopic so it's not the same of course. But when my GP talked about bleeding, they always meant having to use a pad. Even spotting wouldn't be bleeding anymore. But if you're unsure, maybe it's best to talk to your GP?

PamelaDoov · 19/01/2022 12:41

@Bundaberg84 hmm I dunno, even light spotting suggests the cervix is still open. Online articles just say ‘bleeding’, doesn’t specify how heavy or light.

I haven’t done a PT test since last week so I’m gonna do one today, see if it’s gone properly negative yet.

Sparklesurprise29 · 19/01/2022 12:42

@skl2021 I think I might test the nearer the end of next week if I can wait till then, AF is predicted to start on the 30th 😬 but my app has calculating it as a 28 day cycle. I'm scared I'll get an evap again if I test too early, when are you testing?😀

Good idea aesgriff, it that doesn't work then turkey baster?😂 i hate being on top too, DH gets it occasionally as a treat🤣

That sounds tough @ganesh2022☹💖 I'm noticing it a lot too but not sure if its just more on my radar now than before🤔

Bundaberg84 · 19/01/2022 12:43

@PamelaDoov I wish they would print those little booklet things to give with, with all the relevant infos instead us trying to find all relevant info somewhere online.

Skl2021 · 19/01/2022 12:56

@Sparklesurprise29 I was trying to wait until 8 dpo which would be Saturday which is still stupidly early but I'm already getting the urge to test so not quite sure if I will cave before that 🤣🤦 yes stupid I know!! X

Hmm my app says I would be ovulating in the next couple of days if MC is the first day of this cycle. I have had ovulation bleeding before (not every month, maybe 3 times total). It could be ovulation. But ovulation bleeding was even lighter than what I’ve got now, and this is light. No proper EWCM either, just a small amount of clear CM. I don’t know I’m just so fed up now. I wanted to have stopped bleeding by the time I went back work so that It was one less thing to feel upset about. I’ve got 6 days til I’m back so i suppose there is time.

Bundaberg84 · 19/01/2022 13:02

@PamelaDoov totally understandable. The first AF after my chemical and ectopic were the first ones in a while that I was happy to see as I knew the next cycle would be at least somehow normal again.

Ganesh2022 · 19/01/2022 13:08

@PamelaDoov I had that with my son; to be honest, I doubt I'd have tried again (dd was 16 months) so quickly (quick for me) after her, but there was a real need to "fix" something from the first birth and the first few months of her life. For what it's worth, though his birth wasn't fantastic, it did do what I needed it to do. I think if I am lucky enough to get pregnant again, an elective c-section is the way forward for me. Not a walk in the park, but I need the element of control after the last two experiences. Here's to quick pregnancies and dream births for all of us going forward!

Tofu35 · 19/01/2022 13:12

It's my 2nd month post miscarriage- Clear blue ovulation tests went from zero to hero this month (blank circle to solid smile), so no time to mess about!

PamelaDoov · 19/01/2022 13:13

Well I finally got a negative PT! Not a hint of a line. So that’s good.
Just been to loo again and there is literally nothing on the paper when I wipe. It’s only when I reach a bit of loo roll into my vagina that I get the light brownish blood. What I’m thinking now is that, because my CM is now picking up, maybe it’s flushing some of the old brown blood out of my cervix with it? It makes sense to me.

PamelaDoov · 19/01/2022 13:15

@Ganesh2022 exactly, it’s that need to ‘fix’ the birth experience, so do it over again and get a better memory of birth. Totally on the same page.
Really hope we both get some good news soon.

Skl2021 · 19/01/2022 13:28

@Tofu35 good luck 🤞 get busy!! ✨X

@PamelaDoov glad you finally got a negative test. I felt so much better when mine went negative. Like a fresh start 💕 not a constant reminder xx

@Skl2021 thanks, it does make me feel a bit better :)

calimc83 · 19/01/2022 14:07

@Sparklesurprise29 Hey 👋 glad you have missed me! I'm very much trying not to get too addicted to MN so popping in and out...no doubt I'll be on it every 5 minutes in the 2WW. Hope everything is ok with you? What's the latest? X

Cruz86 · 19/01/2022 14:24

Will catch up on the thread properly later but has anyone has yellowy stretchy cm since ovulation? I've had loads today but no signs of infection etc. Just wondering if anyone else has too! X

Tofu35 · 19/01/2022 15:07

@skl2021 always grateful to be working from home during the FW week. Just stick the "away from desk" notification on for a during the day quickie 😂

Skl2021 · 19/01/2022 15:11

@Tofu35 haha excellent plan! I miss the days of quickie through the day! Our DTD is mainly at night now after kids are in bed only time we get! X

Hi ladies, hope you don’t mind if I join in on the thread! Just trying to catch up with previous messages. I had a MC on Christmas Day just shy of 6 weeks PG, not too sure if my cycle because not had a period yet since MC, had a negative test result a week after MC. I am so desperate to be PG again!!

Emeal123 · 19/01/2022 16:29

Just to add I had a static smiley face on 9th Jan so possibly 10dpo although not expecting a 'normal' cycle because of MC. That being said we DTD on peak day and I couldn't resist a PT this morning - BFN

PamelaDoov · 19/01/2022 16:41

@Emeal123 10dpo is still early. I didn’t get a positive last time until a day after my period, all negative in the run up.

Emeal123 · 19/01/2022 17:01

@PamelaDoov so hard not to obsess! My DS (now 8 yrs) was unplanned, first time we DTD together and I took the morning after pill! If only it was that easy every time 🙈 I've had 3 PG since but sadly all ended between wks 5 and 7. Have never actively tracked ovulation to time DTD until the most recent though x

PamelaDoov · 19/01/2022 17:07

@Emeal123 ah I’m sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed for you x

Emeal123 · 19/01/2022 17:20

@PamelaDoov thank you! Hopefully this is a lucky thread for us all 🤞🏻

calimc83 · 19/01/2022 18:02

Ladies - I had my covid booster yest. Is this likely to affect when/if I ovulate? X
