New thread ladies 🌈✨💕

@Sassy144 congratulations! You must be so pleased. But also anxious. Xx

@Indianna2006 thank you yes I'm over the moon but also scared. Just got to take each day as it comes!

hi thanks for your reply, yes using the EPO which did help but at the wrong time of cycle I'm 30 day cycle and has the cm after period then went away. using concieve plus now this cycle, I seen the cups in boots today first time was unsure but I will get one if doesnt happen this cycle. sorry to hear about your mc it's not easy I did some councilling it did help but find some days can just burst into tears still a year later! I think after this month maybe I will stop with the Opks! I have an app with fertility clinic next week to speak to a consultant just to put mind at ease been waiting for months for appointment so will give this a go and see what they say.

how do you mean retained retained products how long you wait?

hi thank you reply! yes gp did bloods but have a app with fertility clinic next week so unless they do it differently? didnt want to go down that route but made app months ago so will go and have us both tested as feel as women we always think something wrong with us first. what do you mean when say 4 cP? x

@Avdd Oh I’m guessing it is the same thing as they test when you’re ovulating I think so should test your bloods on same day x chemical pregnancy I always miscarry before week 6 ♥️ I really hope you don’t give up because you never know when it could happen for you x

@Sassy144 Thank you but I’m not testing and not taking my vitamins or anything anymore because I feel like if I don’t test then I won’t know if miscarried anymore lol xx

Well, looks like AF has turned up super early on CD26, but at least that gives us another shot in May….

I feel a bit deflated as we gave it a really good shot this month (school holidays and annual leave meant more opportunities/less tiredness for action!), BUT on the other hand I never caught a positive OPK so not that surprising that this cycle has turned out a bit weird. On the positive side at least I can enjoy the wine flight at the posh restaurant we’ve got booked later this month!

@curliegirlie gutted for you, how long are your cycles normally or do they change? Wine is a good distraction and got to focus on the positives otherwise it gets too much 🥰

Amazing news @Sassy144 ! Praying for a happy and healthy nine months for you but know this will be a really anxious time for you.
@curliegirlie so sorry your having strange cycles still. I know it’s hard but body must need some extra rest before it gets back to normal. Wine sounds like a great idea.
After saying I wouldn’t try this month and take it off, here I am symptom spotting at 8dpo. Hoping to make it till Wednesday at least before testing. You’re a few days ahead this month @Lizm1990 do you think you’ll test soon or wait until AF hopefully doesn’t show?
Welcome to all other newcomers too, sorry you are here but I’ve found this thread really useful to just read and dip in and out of, and feel less alone ❤

@Louisa89614 im totally symptom spotting constantly, Premom app says AF is due this Thursday so I want to test Wednesday so 12dpo, I go away to Devon on Thursday and it was meant to be our last getaway before giving birth for my MMC so it’s bitter sweet but I want to enjoy our lil holiday, so I was contemplating waiting it out to see if AF arrives but im not sure I’ll be able to relax especially if it doesn’t show, I’ll be thinking about it constantly or checking down there. I also don’t want to test Thurs just incase it’s a BFN and it puts a downa on our hol 🤦‍♀️ You will have to say how you get on with testing 😊

I don’t really know what my cycles are like this time round - I was (sort of) on the pill when I fell pregnant in March. But the first cycle was 30 days which is more in keeping with what they were like last time I was TTC. Over the 12 months I was TTC DD2 my cycles tended to be around 30/31ish days, with a couple of more random ones, and I ovulated all but one cycle. I think I’ve only ever had one cycle as short as this previously - historically I’ve always had to opposite problem! (Silly long cycles when TTC my first daughter).

As I don’t know whether I ovulated either of my last 2 cycles, I don’t know whether to start on agnus castus this month or just wait it out and see whether it’s more normal. I know AC certainly seemed to help me when TTC DD1…

I’m on CD10 now and I think the agnus castus is helping, I’ve got quite a decent line on my OPK today (pic attached, I know it’s not near positive yet but when I tested on Saturday it was much lighter, barely visible). I’ve got a bit of stretchy CM too and mild cramps. So I’m really hopeful that ovulation will be around the CD14-15 mark instead of 20 something! Blank circle on CB digital but I think the first one is always blank because it has to determine your baseline. Hoping in the morning it will be flashing 🤞

@Lizm1990 that sounds sensible, and then hopefully weekend away will be a nice distraction either way. But fingers crossed this is your month! Thats sort of why I wanted to take this month off as didn’t want to be due at the same time as I had ERPC this January, but actually want a baby more than however triggering that might be. Would also love to be pregnant before my “due date” in August too. Will let you know how I get on Wednesday too. Good luck!

@LuckyMoonstone that looks promising! I’ve just ordered myself some. My last two cycles gave really peed me off!

I'm sorry to hear about your cp, I am only learning about this recently seems like it happens to alot of women, so it would be a postive pregancy test for a week or so?

I have had really dark opks yesterday cd 19 and today 20, but no ewcm to be seen?! same as last month. so frustrating, they could be positive but not ovulate?

x

@curliegirlie same here, I was dreading the idea of waiting another 3 whole weeks to ovulate! I never normally get any kind of line on an OPK this early so I really hope the AC is working! Tomorrow would be off to a good start if I can get a flashing smiley in the morning but we’ll see…

Hello all,

I am back on this thread and joining the joy of TTC after loss yet again! I was here for the very first thread after a 7 week loss in December, fell pregnant and unfortunately had a second loss at 10 weeks a month ago.

I'm surprising myself with how well I am doing to be honest. I got my negative test a week ago, and wasn't sad, just happy that we could get on with it again!

We started off by saying that we were going to wait a cycle before trying again, however, I started tracking my cycle again 4 days ago, and got a static smiley today, and so that plan went right out of the window...

I am putting very little hope or pressure into this cycle, and am just happy that my body is doing what it needs to do.

Hi @theblueflowers im sorry you’ve been through such a tough time, it sounds like you’re coping really well though. And great that your body is back on track so soon, it’s good to get back to TTC if you’re ready but sounds like a good idea to not let yourself feel too pressured this cycle, just follow your body and see what happens

Well I’m confused and deflated this morning. My OPK is lighter than yesterday! I used FMU today vs afternoon yesterday but you’d think FMU would be best. But it’s barely there :( why would it get lighter?

So sorry you find yourself back here @theblueflowers . It’s completely shit.
@LuckyMoonstone I know these strips can be frustrating but don’t be so deflated. I’ve attached mine here from this month and you can see CD13 is almost invisible, but I still got my peak on CD15.
LH doesn’t gradually build, and it can vary all through cycle until it surges before ovulation. These strips also say to use in the PM rather than FMU as it builds through the day, but I find if I’m going to get a peak soon then normally obvious already that morning as it is building. Hang in there xx

@LuckyMoonstone I completely agree with @Louisa89614 I've had some months where they have been a bit jumpy before getting my peak. If you can be bothered, go online and look at the LH trajectory - it's a bit wobbly before you get a massive spike (which is peak).

@theblueflowers awh hun, so sorry to see you back here but a big cuddle from me 💕

@curliegirlie I'm so sorry AF has arrived. Hopefully next cycle will be a bit more normal after taking AC.

@bunnykins123 @Louisa89614 thank you both, that makes me feel a bit better! I’ve brought an OPK to work with me so I can do a test at exactly the same time as I did yesterday, about half past 12, so we’ll see! Still a blank circle on the digital this morning though. But last month I only had 4 days of flashing before my static so still plenty of time for it to start flashing, if I’m hoping to ovulate at the weekend.

@theblueflowers sorry for your second loss.

so took another pregnancy test today in hope it may appear fainter. The pregnancy line before was bolder than control line. And now it’s equal. If not control line ever so slightly bolder.

so that’s a good thing right. I presume pregnancy tests go bold fairly early on in pregnancy. Like by 5 weeks pregnancy imagine it would be fairly bold. So hoping it means my hcg can’t be in the 1000s that I’ve seen a change in strength. So hopefully next week - 10 days it will fade out.

good luck to anyone testing soon or in FW.
can’t wait to get back in the “game” as such. Only way we win.

@theblueflowers ❤️❤️ Sounds like you are optimistic which is good! Way to protect yourself aswell from thoughts that aren’t helpful.

@Indianna2006 thats good you are right it should get lighter, I know when I got my period and then ovulated after my MMC I was so happy I could move on.

Im actually nervous about testing tomorrow, I’ll be 12dpo and keep worrying, I think I have poas fear 😩 but I need to know either way. @bunnykins123 what DPO are you? I think me and @Louisa89614 are testing tomorrow 🤞🤞

Hi Iv took a test once a week for the past 2 weeks since my miscarriage and mine are still dark!! My first one was stronger than my original pregnancy tests 😢 did another one yesterday and it's still dark but looks slightly lighter than last weeks so hoping like you it's going in the right direction

Argh I just did another one and it’s totally blank. My wee was very diluted though as I drink a lot of water at work, it was so clear I knew it wouldn’t work properly. I’m gonna have to wait til this evening and dehydrate myself!
