For me trying again she said try to wait until your first period. Then go. I'm planning a little break anyway, well I gave DH the eyebrow raise after she said this and he's like I'm not coming near you for 2 weeks 😅

@MrsGrealish I ordered some internet cheapies just so I wasn't wasting money, first time I've used them though. Usually go for FRER. Oh wow, strange how it's taking so long then! Have they mentioned why? That's good news then, just go for it! I was told to wait until after my next period but I'm sure that's just to help them date it if you do fall pregnant this time, we DTD once before even knowing I was pregnant (but I'd already miscarried I think? I just didn't know until later), and I felt like it a couple of days ago too so we did haha, it's a fertile week thing for me too so fingers crossed I still ovulated! My cycle feels a bit messed up so I don't think I would have noticed an obvious ovulation!

@Tropicana1 it could have been anything I guess! I have read (and please don't take this as false hope!) That you can bleed a small amount after sex during the early stages of pregnancy. But like you said, could have just been AF starting to show. I don't want to give you false hope, just want you to know you're not out till it starts properly!

@MamaSJ15 these are my tests this morning (just ICs) with a blood hcg level of 84 x

@MrsGrealish oh wow they still look so strong! I don't think mine would have been that strong even when I got my first positive!

@MrsGrealish glad the end is in sight. I'm usually for DTD straight after a loss but under your circumstances with a blob still visible on the screen I'd be inclined to wait until your period. Don't want it affecting the next pregnancy. That's just me though. You need to do what you need to do xx

@MamaSJ15 so every possibility you are ovulating..go get him😂 (later after work and once little DD is in bed) the romance 😅

@PeanuttyButter I'm with that reasoning 100%. Do not want to go through this again. Hoping the blob/tissue comes out with next period. I got DH to take a pic of it too

@MamaSJ15 interesting! You are right - not out till af shows no matter what I've "decided" 😂 I'll keep testing with cheapies until Thursday - just checked my chart too and looks like my bbt chart has been on the rise slowly but not sure I can trust todays too much because of ky really broken nights sleep. My temp doesn't usually drop until the day af arrives so doesn't help me much in the run up!

@Tropicana1 I've read that too. Something to do with increased blood flow to cervix in early pregnancy. Hopefully this is the reason xx

@MrsGrealish I wish I felt like it today but I really don't, feel stressed 🤦🏼‍♀️ and I've had light bleeding today so God knows what's going on in there haha.
@Tropicana1 🤞🤞 anymore spotting?

Hey ladies! I’ve not been active as we decided to enjoy our holiday and not worry about TTC this month! I don’t even know when I ovulated haha but the last time we DTD was about 4/5 days before I got any EWCM and the EWCM lasted for about 4 days so I’m very confident we missed our window! Lots of drinking during that week anyway too!

so just waiting for AF to show and get back to it next cycle!

just want to send another big hug @MrsGrealish ! I know it’s been an awful time for you but I am glad you are near the end. Will you TTC again soon or going to take a break?

@Hjudge56 hope you had a lovely time 🥰 little break no focusing on OPKs and some sunshine will have done you the world of good xx

I'm good xx just relieved it's coming to an end more than anything. I'm going for a ttc break now🙈 wish me luck with that! Will miss my POAS addiction 😂 thanks for the hugs 😘

@MrsGrealish definitely was lovely! Last month was very, very timed and calculated over that ovulation week so hit hard when there was 1 line! And AF came early! so I think my mind needed a break too!

yeah I can completely imagine that at this point you must feel exhausted with being exhausted by it all!! A little break and then I hope you get an extra sticky bean ♥️

@Hjudge56 timed DTD is hateful ngl I think it all caught up with DH. He's been so strong, coming with me to every appointment and he saw the bruises on my arm today from the blood test and tears just started flowing 🥲

I'll still be rooting for you girls though fx for sticky beans for all of us ❤️ hopefully I can send a picture of me in Barcelona in September rooting round pharmacies for pregnancy tests a La Greece 😂

@MrsGrealish exactly.. really takes out the love and passion!!

I can imagine it is so hard for him as it is you ❤️ You sound like a very strong woman and I can’t wait for those pictures!!

@Hjudge56 glad you had a nice relaxing holiday!

Temp has plummeted to below cover line this morning so I'm definitely out. Oh well onto the next. Going to try to be more committed with DTD in fertile week this month but without making it a chore haha so wish me luck with that 🤣

@Tropicana1 ahh sorry, when is AF due?

I must be having an early period due to the miscarriage messing up my cycle but no cramps or anything which is odd. aF wouldn't have been due till late next week, so 🤷🏼‍♀️ going away this weekend so hoping it doesn't carry on too long. Or I won't be taking DD swimming (DH can do that and give me a break 😂)

@MamaSJ15 due tomorrow, got some cramps and spotting today so might arrive tonight

@Hjudge56 that's lovely to hear, think that would've done you the world of good! I'm not going to be as obsessive about it this month, lots going on with a possible job change so it may not be the right time anyway.
@MrsGrealish you and your DH sound like a wonderful couple, he really sounds like he's there for you 100% which is SO lovely to hear with what you're going through! 😍
@MamaSJ15 how heavy is it? Could it be implantation rather than AF if it's so much earlier?
@Tropicana1 sorry to hear you think AF is imminent 😥

@Tropicana1 did AF arrive?

@alwaysseeingstars I thought that to begin with but no it's pretty much full flow now so got to be AF really. Hoping it will be normal and my cycle has reset 🤞
How are you?

@MamaSJ15 oh that is such a shame :( but like you say if it's resetting your cycle that's good in itself 😊
I'm good thanks, trying to be chilled this month - am CD14 so not expecting ov for at least a week, just testing with OPK's every other day to not obsess other them but have a vague idea what is happening 😂

@MamaSJ15 - no! Got my usual cramps and had some more spotting this morning but not here yet weirdly... my temp weirdly went right back up this morning to 36.54 after dropping to 35.95 yesterday morning, but I had my toddler in bed with me from the early hours and she's like a human radiator so that might be why 🤣 I'll test with a cheapie tonight when I get home just in case

Af has arrived so officially CD 1 again

Hi Ladies, seems I'm a few days out from ovulating, so tracking like a demon with the opk, and starting to get a bit of back pain so fingers crossed... but of course this is the time my hubby decides to be a grade A knobhead so the last thing I wanna do is dtd!! 😂🤦‍♀️

@alwaysseeingstars ah good, yeah I think being a bit more laid back about it could help with stress levels and potentially help conceiving too. But it's almost impossible isn't it haha.
@Tropicana1 ahh sorry, onto the next cycle 🤞🤞
