TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

[RMS0209]

Hi Ladies!
2nd thread for this chatty lot...
Cycle 4 (May) TTC baby #1
The chat of no TMI or silly questions

@RMS0209 @QueenBee22 it didn't go particularly high (not sure what it's meant to go to?) but it says my peak was yesterday so that's only a day after the CB one, would you say today is likely to be ov day?
@Changingdirections sending lots of luck for a sticky bean, please try not to worry too much 😘

Still got cramps and twinges today ladies at 6/7DPO! so confusing what’s going on here…

I think at the end of the day everyone is going to be different with their symptoms! Im really trying to hope that this is a good thing and something is happening down there! But im worried it’s going to be another chemical, same as last month 😔

@QueenBee22 great!
@alwaysseeingstars that is still high 😍 glad you caught it.
CD16 for me... waiting on an OPK delivery had a temp drop this morning too so we will see... used the preseed this morning - no slip & slide accidents 😂 x

Had a big temp drop this morning and now finally got my period 3 days late! Plus side this is my first ever 14 day luteal phase - has slowly increased from 10-11 days over the last 4 months on pregnacare and 1000mg vitamin C so that's positive!

@Tropicana1 booo for period but yaaaay for 14 day LP! X

@Tropicana1 thanks for that info I will try the pregnacare soon in that case.
I tried b6, folic acid, vit C this month but no increase in LP for me sadly still very short. I am keen to increase it because before my miscarriage it was 28 days and now month 7 ttc down and no luck. I know one month is not long enough for vitamins to help but I did read pregnacare delayed womens periods which is a good thing in my case so worth a shot.

Sorry to read about potential chemicals it must be so hard especially when you’ve suffered a previous loss. If I ever get pregnant I will be the most anxious pregnant lady ever!

Was looking at my charts on my apps and the only time I had a normal LP post misscarriage was on vitabiotics Ferroglobin capsules which increased my LP by 3 days (and gave me the nicest hair probably the iron) so I may try those again too.

I am heading into month 8 now and AF still brings me to tears it is the constant reminder of the miscarriage that really hurts every time. :(

Anyone trying anything different this month?

@RMS0209 I done the fingerprick tests with Medichecks which I found surprisingly easy (although I am a bleeder). I was going to go to the GP if the progesterone levels were off but as it was in the normal range, although low, I will just hold off for now. I may book an internal ultrasound though just incase as I am unsure why my LP is still short. Every month AF shows up I feel I need to be doing something more! It really is tiring. Did your OPK get any darker today?

@RosyappleA
Well done for managing to do the finger prick test 😂 I couldn't it was embarrassing so I got a refund and told the Dr so I am luckily getting one this cycle once I've ovulated... (hopefully soon)
Would you book the internal ultrasound through dr or go private?
I am booking some private fertility tests/assessments for next month/July.

My OPK's got lighter on Friday after looking fab on Thursday... just my luck! I have been out today but just heading home so I will do one before tea and hopefully it's getting darker again... CD16 today 😁 xx

5/6dpo today and I’ve got very sore nipples and on and off cramping!

hoping this is a good sign ladies but just can’t get hopes up!!

@alwaysseeingstars I have found them very accurate and I always get my period exactly 14 days after it says my ovulation day is so hopefully it will be as reliable for you.

@QueenBee22 oh brill, thank you! Hopefully 1dpo today then 😊
@Hjudge56 keeping fingers crossed for you!!

Cycle day 17... still no sign of a peak... stay strong! 😫

@alwaysseeingstars thank you!

@RMS0209 do you think peak will come in the next few days?

@Hjudge56 I really hope it does! Don't know why I ovulate so late now... makes all this harder, hate it x

@RMS0209 really hope you get your peak soon!

@RMS0209 I know what you mean, seems to drag on so long! My peak this month was CD21, one less than last month which is something!
Hope everyone is doing good, anybody testing any time soon?

@Tropicana1 thank you! How are you doing?

@alwaysseeingstars it just drags and the more days without a peak the more my overactive mind is overactive and freaking out 😂😢
CD21 is good I'd be happy with that... hopefully that's me if not before! I just don't want a CD25 again, it's just the last 2 cycles I'm not sure what's going on?
How are you doing?

Yeah who's testing soon? Looking forward to seeing some BFP's 🤞🏻

Hello all, I have posted once before on a previous month; I mostly sit in the background, however I wanted to comment to say how reassuring and comforting I find these threads, as we are all in similar boats. Congratulations to all you BFP so far ( :

Hi @TytoAlbaa
Come join the gang 🙂
How are you doing? X

@RMS0209 yeah cd25 is just cruel 😔 hopefully now you've stopped the pregnacare it'll sort itself out?
I'm ok thanks, bit p**d off that as usual things got in the way and we didn't dtd much over fw! I swear the week before we did it twice as much 😂

@TytoAlbaa welcome! It's a lovely group to be part of 😊

@Changingdirections how you doing?

alwaysseeingstars and RMS0209 - thank you ( : it is, really supportive.

@alwaysseeingstars
Well I'm bloody hoping so but it's not looking good today so far... ugh 😫
My cycles have been - 29,29,33,31,37... I don't know what's going on I'm not having fun though!
Ugh I know - the week before I always tend to have DTD more then when I get a peak I've ran out of steam... it's so difficult isn't it. X

I haven't had any further bleeding. It was only a very small amount but because it was bright red and a couple clots it didn't seem at all good, I was convinced it was a chemical. So nothing has happened since other than same pregnancy symptoms I had with my daughter, mild cramping when moving about, little nausea, hungry and thirsty as a horse. So I am hopeful now! Still terrified everytime I go the loo though! Going to do another CB weeks indicator test on Thursday, the one I did last Thursday said 1-2 weeks so if it's gone up by a week next Thurs then I know the hormones are going up as they should🤞

Thank you for everyone's kind wishes.

How is everyone else doing?

@Changingdirections thats really great news! And great you’re feeling your body changing which suggests pregnancy is still progressing!!!
