TTC after miscarriage Thread 14 🌈✨💕💙

[FfayeN]

New thread 🥰

@MrsC2018 has it arrived?!

@Mannymoomin I said to DH about the cervix finding (as a joke, he hasn't a clue) he said why have you lost it?🤦‍♀️ yep hun fell out at work 😅

@MrsCristianoX 🤣 😂 that is quite the typical male reaction.

I really want AF to start properly now, I had that sudden clotty gush 2 days ago and just disgusting black sludgy blood since.
My IB was sludgy and black for a week so I really wish this would go away as it’s just a horrible reminder

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind me joining. Since the birth of my daughter in 2020, I haven't been ovulating since then. I was prescribed Clomid to help me ovulate and I fell pregnant in 2021 on the first cycle. Sadly 6 weeks later I MC and haven't been able to ovulate since then. Also didn't take clomid as thought I would try naturally however no luck. Clear blue ovulation game me a smiley 2 days in a row so DTD. AF is due on the 30th Dec so I have a long wait. Anyone else waiting around the same time?

@MrsCristianoX it has not, they lied! Have cancelled it as a result! Will reorder when my period arrives at the end of the month, but hopefully will catch again this month and won't even need it 🤞
@Mannymoomin the changes in period and cycle afterwards is horrible isn't it. I get lots of brown sludge since the first miscarriage in April. It's hard not to worry that somethings going on up there

I've also been back looking at the ovusense things, going to be a challenge having the ferti Lily and that up there next year, but might get one if there's a January sale and I'm not pregnant. Just think it would be handy to know if I'm ovulating and I don't trust myself to temp properly. I'm lazy in a morning! Does anyone use one and recommend it at all?

@MrsC2018 I'm really tempted too. I think if you look at the site and enter ur email address they automatically offer you a discount. I looked today and was offered 35% off. I'm waiting til AF starts (or doesn't 🙏) then I'll order. The fertilily just wasn't for me sadly. It was messy and stressful to insert but I think if you get it right it's really worth it xx

@MrsC2018 also very lazy and forgetful in the morning. Can relate. No way am I getting up for work at 6am then getting up at 6am on a Sunday to take bbt 😴

@MrsCristianoX oooh thanks! Have registered and got 20% off so will see if that improves or if there's more off in the sales 👀
And same! Sleep is so precious, don't care about ovulating enough to miss out on any sleep 😂
@RG84 I got a peak smiley today and FF predicts 30th for AF for me so hopefully we'll both have an alcohol free early night for new years this year!

@MrsC2018 ah amazing, glad you're on the same dates. I think the earliest I can check is the 26th December but I'm going to try my best to hold off until the week of AF. Really hope we get BFP this year 😊

Oooh I’m on CD23 and got a 0.68 OPK this morning!! That’s amazing for me, I might get a positive tomorrow :) I’ll be very happy to ovulate this week instead of Christmas Day!

@MrsC2018 I used fertilily for first time this cycle. Like @MrsCristianoX said, I also found it very messy to insert and a little stressful trying to get it up high enough 😆 but I did feel like by using it I was doing something to help things up there. And anything worth a try when it’s been 8 cycles of BFN’s! Will see in a week if it’s worked first time for me 🤞🏻

10 dpo and bfn on a cheapie. Not even an indent to scrutinise 😭 after promising I wouldn't test early too 🙄

@MrsCristianoX that doesn’t mean you’re out yet!

@LuckyMoonstone I know but I had stingy nipples last night so was kinda hoping🙏 and annoyed with myself for early testing 🙄 when I swore I wouldn't.

Good luck with your peak..it's sounds really promising!! 😘

I'm in the dreaded tww. AF is due 28th, but I think I want to test Xmas eve or Xmas day as that would be amazing, but will also put a downer on the day if it's a BFN! Also a good idea to know whether to drink or not!!

@Matildahoney a Xmas eve/day surprise would be so lovely my AF is due 27th so I'm thinking on testing Xmas eve Aswell.

In regards to my temp dip it went back to what it was at 3dpo this morning now 5dpo.

@ChloeN I felt for my cervix yesterday and was so high I couldn't reach it but checked again today and can feel it again but still high closed and soft and white cm and I'm feeling quite alot of twinging pains in my right side of my stomach where I think I ovulated from as that's where all my ovulation pains where on Tuesday when ovulating and every day since ovulation I have had a sore lower back so hoping that's all good signs

Oh and headaches now and then every day also forgot to add

@Shannonmcc I've never done temps etc, not sure how that all works.
I was very headachey, physically sick yesterday & keep getting heartburn which I had the last time I was pregnant so I'm keeping everything crossed and trying not to get my hopes up. Headachey and exhausted today too and can't get warm!

AF has finally started flowing properly.
I ovulate early in my cycle anyway so should still O somewhere between 26th to 30th.

@MrsCristianoX keeping my fingers crossed that you still get your bfp, dpo is still early.

@MrsC2018 you're right! Everything I read it’s lead me to believe we’re more fertile after MC, there needs to be a disclaimer on that.

Im ditching the OPKs next time and just going to go by CM as it’s really disheartening knowing my LP is so short, will start using them again once my cycle straightens itself out

I sent the OH on a search for my cervix Fri eve after saying he could feel a weird tightening the day before but he couldn't find it at all, I think it was really high up. Then I had some bad cramps last night mostly on the right side so I'm hoping it could be the big o but also might just be sore from poking around for the cervix 🤷‍♀️
I've been doing ovulation tests now everyday for the last week and finally looked like something was happening yesterday, but today it's faded. I hardly ever get positives. I've included a pic of this cycles tests and with the last cycle I tested, which I conceived with. I never got a positive then but the test did read as 0.7 whereas yesterday my tests didn't quite get to 0.5. Does anyone think it might be possible I still ovulated?
I feel like I'm totally obsessing 🙈 I felt quite optimistic last week but my mood has totally slumped today. I should still be pregnant 😔 and now I don't know if my cycles are going to take a while to regulate and I'm just in limbo. I wish it was possible to have more control over ttc ugh

@Mannymoomin thanks lovely😘 still feeling pretty rubbish so hopefully it's just too early. Glad AF started properly for you x

@Mannymoomin so anecdotally you're meant to be more fertile after a miscarriage but scientifically it's apparently that you try harder? I don't know 🤷‍♀️ I tried for 5 years for my daughter, had her 2 years ago after lots of IVF. Then in the last 12 months I've been pregnant 3 times - none have stuck though. Best of luck with the au natural cycle, I will do that in a couple if tracking doesn't work. These last 3 pregnancies were all caught on cycles I wasn't tracking so the relaxed approach does work for me!
@MrsCristianoX bfn's suck, fingers crossed you'll get your positive soon though. Not decided if I'll test early this cycle, think I might wait and see if I get the tiredness on days 9/10 to decided whether to wait for the period or rest early. I have frers in so let's see!

@Rosegold3112 I'm so sorry lovely, it's hard to reset your brain, you count every week that goes by when you're pregnant how do you stop doing that? I should have a 3 month old this week if I'd not had my first miscarriage or be 24 weeks pregnant today if I'd not had my second. My brain won't stop counting, being pregnant again did stop me counting the weeks past my first pregnancy though. Definitely why I started TTC straight away again. You're not alone in slumping in the misery sometimes 😢

@Rosegold3112 your OPKs from the previous cycle do look a lot darker, but consistently. Try using the easy@home strips, I know a few people moved over to them and found them easier to use, or try inputting them under the 'others' tab at the top, I don't know if that makes a difference. Hopefully you're just having a super quick surge, I test twice a day when they start getting dark around ovulation time (or sometimes 3), easy at home are so cheap it's doable xxx

Hi girls has anyone ever experienced or heard of a an implantation spike instead of a dip? My temp this morning was 36.63 highest it's ever been yet and I seen a few posts online that other ladies have got a spike at 6dpo followed by a bfp and was just wondering if anyone here has had the same. I'm quite crampy this morning on my right side still and still headachey Aswell. Afraid to get my hopes up but can't help but feel very positive now from reading other successful stories. AF is due to appear 27th December so I have a few easy at home 10miu at home I think I'm going to take a sneaky test around Xmas eve/Xmas morning when I will be 11/12dpo

@Shannonmcc if you hadn't done the OPKs I'd have said your ovulation was the 11th and the dip was your implantation dip. When I fell I had a very similar stepped increase every couple of days. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
