🌈 Ttc after miscarriage thread 7 🌈💕🤞✨

[Skl2021]

New thread ladies 🌈✨💕

@Tofu35 congrats! I knew there had to be one BFP this weekend!
I’m due today but AF hasn’t shown up yet. I’ve realised that this cycle I have already used 10 IC and 3 FRER I only have a FRER left but going to wait until AF is late because I have a feeling she’ll be here later today… have a good weekend everyone xx

@Tofu35 yay brilliant!!

@Tofu35 this is brilliant news!! Congratulations 🎉 👏

@Louisa89614 fingers crossed AF stays away for you 🤞 honestly, FRER must make an absolute killing from women testing every month! I am due on Monday and had pink creamy cm today so think AF is likely to arrive later or tomorrow 🤦‍♀️

@curliegirlie sorry AF arrived. I think mine will be coming today as well so we can be cycle buddies together! I have had 3 early miscarriages and have never conceived in the cycles immediately after the miscarriage.

@MrsRosaline I hope O arrives for you soon 🤞

@Sassy144 you're not out until AF shows so hopefully she stays away. I'm sure I read on another forum a lady having a temp drop for 5 consecutive days and got a BFP 🤞

@calimc83 I'm so so so happy for you that you've got your dye stealer! I'm tempted to try your method of 'no opks' this month. What pattern of bding did you follow (if you don't mind sharing that with me 🤪). Did you take anything this cycle or do anything differently? I'm pink creamy spotting so I think AF will come over the next day or so, trying to obsessively plan for next month!

Thank you @bunnykins123 I'm hopeful I'll get the peak tomorrow! 🤞🏻🙏🏻

@Tofu35 huge congratulations!! You're amazing for not buying a test on holiday I absolutely would've done 😄

@calimc83 I am also interested if you did anything differently !? 😬

@mrsrosaline I was all "don't waste the holiday with testing, if it's positive it will wait until I'm back" but the last few days I was ready to drive to the village pharmacy and get some tests! Just had to avoid booze on the last few days when I suspected I was pregnant, eek.

Thanks @bunnykins123, @luckymoonstone, @Louisa89614! Very cautious, I had my miscarriage at 9 weeks in November, so will be glad when these first weeks are behind me :)

@Lizm1990 I’m not hugely hopeful for any particular month, as it took us 16 months for DD1 and 12 months for DD2. The BFP a month ago was a massive surprise! But I’m glad my March cycle turned out to be a sensible length and the MC didn’t screw it around too much - got to focus on the positives, hey?

@Tofu35 arghhhhh so so happy for you 🥳 huge congrats xxx

@bunnykins123 hopefully AF doesn't show up and it may be implantation...so we didn't t use OPKs as I just went with ewcm and when I got my usual chin spots 😂..I really worked on relaxing more - think the hypnotherapy helped with that but appreciate it's not for everyone. After BD I try not to move 😆😆..so we dtd day 10,11, 13, 14, 15, 18. I'm not sure when I ovulated - possibly around 16/17? Oh and I also use pre seed and check my cervix 😬but now they say not to use pressed? Xx

@MrsRosaline hope that helps as well xx

Very exciting @Tofu35 ✨

@calimc83 thanks! I think I'll also ovulate around 16/17. Lots of EWCM today soo 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@MrsRosaline Good luck! What cycle are u on post MC? Xx

@calimc83 yeah I read something recently about pre seed actually having a negative impact, but I’ve got pregnant quickly twice with pre seed! And now I’m still using but scared I shouldn’t be….

@LuckyMoonstone I think the article mentioned something along the lines of it affecting mobility after a few hours..but surely u wouldn't use it 2/3hours before u get down to business?? X

Early miscarriage in Sep 2021 and then a chemical pregnancy in Jan 2022. We didn't try in Feb as I was devastated to lose a pregnancy twice. So this is the second cycle since. 🤞🏻@calimc83

@LuckyMoonstone I used conceive plus when I conceived my daughter five years ago. I think you're right about the few hours thing. That's why (in the conceive plus) the label says to use 15mins or something before sex. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well af arrived for me today right on time 😞 am starting to feel really down about it all as we fell first time before which was amazing luck but now each month that passes I feel so disappointed. Bought some maca powder today in desperation haha and ready to try anything that might help our chances if anyone has any suggestions!

@Tofu35 I'm so happy for you congratulations! What lovely news

@Tofu35 huge congratulations really pleased for you 🥰

@Sassy144 sorry AF arrived, mine did too it’s gutting isn’t it? It’s so hard not to get hopes up each cycle.

@Lizm1990 @Sassy144 mines arrived too 😞 so back to CD1 again!

@Sassy144 what is maca powder supposed to do? I'll try anything! 😂

@calimc83 thanks for the info! I'm defo going to take a leaf out of your book this cycle. How did you do hypnotherapy? Im going to try some yoga too as I do feel my want for another baby is getting the better of me! Im even going up cut down on alcohol this cycle, god help me 🤦‍♀️

@calimc83 @LuckyMoonstone I think you'll always find a reason not to use anything when ttc. I know so many ladies who used preseed with absolutely no issues what so ever!

@MrsRosaline so sorry to hear that you've had 2 MC. It's truly heartbreaking isn't it. Xx

@Tofu35 yay! That's lovely news! I've got everything crossed for you!

@Sassy144 I'm so sorry! I checked in while I'm away to see how you were doing. I'm not 'actively' trying this month and have no real idea when I'm ovulating as my holiday started before ovulation and af is due the day after I get home next Monday so it's a nice mental break away from it all. I know I'll still be gutted when af comes this month though. You can do this lovely. You're stronger than you think. I just read The Midnight Library and honestly it was so lovely and gave me a new perspective on things. Nothing to do with MCs at all. Just a lovely book.

I absolutely hate that everyone gets told how fertile you are after a MC. I also caught first time trying with my first pregnancy in January and the fact it's so hard since the MC suggests the complete opposite. My cycles are SO messed up and I was always so regular before. I'm going to try reflexology for my next cycle. Continue the de-stressing from this holiday. Sending love to everyone who needs it today ❤️

@bunnykins123 oh no AF has showed up?? So sorry. I was convinced it was your cycle 😔..I also did reflexology 😂. I tried to focus more on myself this cycle - mindfulness and breathing techniques, as well as doing stuff for 'me' like getting back into horse riding - trying not to make TTC the be all and end all..🙈 so I went for hypnotherapy to help me process my grief and I told her I wanted to relax more and stop obsessing. She really understood as had struggled to conceive as well. Found it super helpful for relaxation and definitely I obsessed less after seeing her. I've used hypnosis before for fear of flying so I know it works. It's really interesting..worth looking into xx

@bunnykins123 good luck in cutting down on the alc! 😫 I never managed that 🙈 xx

@bunnykins123 Ahhhgg I’m sorry AF arrived, it’s so crap, only thing to keep positive is it’s a fresh cycle and all 😊

@calimc83 @MrsRosaline yeah that’s true, I don’t think putting it in hours beforehand is necessary even for spontaneity 😂

@peachiekeen I am exactly the same here, messed up cycles ever since MC when I was regular before 😔 and definitely not super fertile like I’m ‘supposed’ to be.

AF also arrived for me yesterday afternoon and is unbelievably heavy - had to have a shower at 2am as had flooded! Mentally feeling ok though. So strange so many of us have somehow synced cycles virtually and is weirdly giving me some comfort!
