🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 5 💕✨🤞🌈

New thread ladies 🌈🌈🌈

@arianasky it is 😣 I hate it when we DTD loads too early and it’s all for nothing 😂 I think waiting for O is worse than the TWW!

@arianasky I think I'm a few days ahead of you but I got my static smiley last night and can literally feel O now. Are you tracking with CB or just strips? I totally agree that this is almost worst than the 2WW as you have to plan around that positive test strip! You feeling ok?

@speake @aesgriff @Sassy144 thank you - at least I know it’s normal now!

My Premom OPKs arrived today 🎉 so I’m all ready for when AF buggers off. Before this my cycles were exactly 28 days so easy to track but now I’m all over the place. Does anyone know - do I need to test the same time every day? What’s the best time? Complete OPK novice here! Does drinking dilute it?! x

@PamelaDoov img same I much prefer the TWW because at least after O you know you'll have a certain amount of days until you know if you're pregnant or are on AF 😂 same 😂 I've had darker OPK's today and EWCM tonight but we DTD last night so though I'll wait until tomorrow 😂🙈

@bunnykins123 yeah I use both my OPk was quite dark this evening and Slight EWCM and sore breasts but my clearblue was a blank circle this morning I never normally get a flashing smiley with CB I normally just go from blank to static, hoping I don't have to wait too much longer 🤞🏻 do you use strips aswell or just CB? I'm ok thank you how are you?

@arianasky haha exactly! You know you’ve done the hard work and there’s nothing else to do 😂 sounds like your fertile window is coming up a bit earlier than mine. I’m gonna start checking every day now and DTD regularly

@PamelaDoov part of me thinks it is but then I think am I just overthinking things and it'll be more around CD19 again who knows 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ same I'll be DTD more now and I'll test every morning and evening

@arianasky I’ve decided we’re gonna do it Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and then next Sunday for luck 😂 how romantic. Won’t have time this weekend as we have a lot on.

Yesssss @arianasky @PamelaDoov giddy up girls 🤠 xx

@peachiekeen I used the easy@home ones and found them to be the best! I used second morning wee (as I would usually wee in the night) so about 8am ish. Depending how dark it was I would either test again that evening (9pm ish) or wait until the next day. I think a few pages ago I attached my OPK chart on premom if you want to take a look. Water definitely diluted your wee and that does affect your results so make sure you hold for a while in the evening or drink less for a few hours beforehand xx

Wishing you luck for your scan on Sunday @mrshodgy21 xx

@Cruz86 my poor bum… 2 more pessaries in tonight. I pray that they have 400mg ones in stock for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Xx

Yess giddy up girls! You can take my quota of dtd because there's no way I'm doing it any time soon 😂

@peachiekeen yes either easy @ home or Femometer opks for me! I tended to do 12.30pm and 7pm and then 3 times a day when they got darker (but I'm obsessive 😬).

Ohhh no @aesgriff! You're seriously putting me off haha. To be fair, I've got bum issues at the moment anyway. Going between constipation and can't stop, plus my daily dose of sunflower seeds (to help with progesterone - I hope) are making me sooo gassy 😆😆 It's all fun and games isn't it xx

@Cruz86 snap! I’ve had the exact same too I never know what to expect on the day 🤣 thanks for mentioning sunflower seeds.. Off to Google in bed. So rock and roll!! Xx

Night ladies chat with you all tomorrow xx

@arianasky I use both. This month I didn't get a positive on the strips but got a static smiley last night 🤷‍♀️ it's defo accurate as I always seem to ovulate 1 day after my solid (and I'm feeling it now...ooowwwch!) I also seem to get a dollop of EWCM in the morning before I O. Honestly, I swear I'm Oing both sides this month as I am feeling really sore 😖

Haha luck of the draw @aesgriff. If you find any conflicting advice about the seeds, or there's no evidence to back it up, let me know 😂 night! Xx

My oh woke up today feeling like a cold is coming (negative lft) and the first thing I thought was I hope he'll be up for dtd all week as I go into my fertile window 😂 what does TTC turn us into?!

Also I'm only on CD 7 and I have watery cm and a big ol' chin spot coming which I usually get at ovulation...surely not this early though I usually O around CD15! How long can MC mess cycles up for? Don't want to waste an OPK as I only have expensive CB ones 🙈

@Cruz86 @aesgriff
4DPO and that temps coming down. Can't help but worry now 😰

Haha it turns us into monsters @Sassy144! Can you order some cheap opks to keep you going? I'd just try and dtd if you've got fertile cm!

@HoneyLemon29 you should see my chart from this cycle.....and I got my bfp! Don't panic, it still looks good 😌

@PamelaDoov that sounds a good plan 😊

@bunnykins123 ooh exciting so you're officially in the TWW now 🙌🏻

Blank circle on CB again today, I'll check my strips in a bit see if they were darker than yesterday but I have lots of watery white CM not sticky like EWCM so don't think it'll happen for a few days yet

@Cruz86 thank you
I need to stop overthinking everything but I struggle 😅

Checked my easy@home strip and yesterday was dark and 0.47 and today was faint and 0.16 🙄 guessing I'm in for a long wait to O again 🙄

@HoneyLemon29 it could be an implantation dip! As long as your temp remains above the cover line I’d try not to worry. I knew my period was coming as about 10dpo my temp fell way down beneath the cover line. Keeping all my fingers crossed for you xx

@arianasky ugh so frustrating I feel you 😩 come on ovulation!! I ovulated on CD29 this cycle… xx

Blank circle on digital OPK and a very faint line on the stick, so still a way off. Stick was stark white yesterday though so i guess there’s some progression!

@aesgriff @Cruz86 thank you so much for the advice lovelies! That’s so helpful. My thoughts are with your bottoms though 🙈

@Sassy144 I downloaded the Premom app and bought the sticks they recommend from Amazon. They’re super cheap at the mo. I think like roughly £8 for 50 for you can get the pack that has 50 OPKs and 20 pregnancy tests too for £14 I think.

I know @HoneyLemon29, it's hard not to overthink isn't it!

I also ovulate late too, normally around cd20/21.

Good luck @PamelaDoov and @arianasky. I hope the lines pick up soon!

Haha thanks @peachiekeen. What a nightmare!

@aesgriff have you had much cramping with this pregnancy? When I got my bfp in October the cramps were unbearable, I'd have to have a hot water bottle every night. But now I don't have any cramps at all, just the odd sharp pain. Feels very different to before.
