TTC May 2023 💖✨ previous MC March 2023

[Freddie15VES]

Hi ladies

I thought I’d create this thread if anyone wants to jump on.

I have a little boy who was 2 in April 💖

we decided in March to start trying for baby #2 and we were delighted to get pregnant that same month! Unfortunately we lost the baby at the end of April at 6w 4d

The MC is completed and I have taken an OPK this morning which looks to be really high. Not quite peak but definitely high which is just great that I’m ovulating again! I didn’t know what would happen. We both feel ready to try again this month so will be going for it.

Whether you’re TTC baby #1 #2 #3 etc you’re welcome to jump on ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks @Strawb28 I'm usually a massive fan of the easy@home app but I just feel it's really miscalculated this cycle because of CP so I'll download clue too as a back up 👌

I feel you @Sez281 I've been trying to work out my cycle since my first period since mc, prenom had me ovulating literally one day after period based on opk results even tho it didn't look that strong and I've had no visible signs I am. Now it's starting to peak again 🤣 I'm not going to lie I already hate tracking so trying to tell myself that I just need to make a habit of dtd more often 🤣 my libido has not returned since coming off the pill (I felt like it killed it) in December so sometimes I really can't be bothered 😫 is it just me like that? 🙃

Random question

Since MC I feel like I ache alot more in my womb area, I dunno if I'm more focused on it and maybe didn't notice it as much before or is this a thing? It's like a dull ache and I feel like I can feel every twinge. I'm just thinking should I be concerned or is it normal.x

@Westy22 I think we get hypersensitive when ttc and even more after a loss because we are looking for signs ECT. I've felt every twinge this month xx

@Westy22 my libido has drastically decreased in the last year since coming off the injection🥴. It only ever peaks when I can't dtd around AF. So yeah I'm going to struggle to try and dtd every second day or so from next week but once I get going I'm fine 😂 as @Jadeypie says I think we are definitely hypersensitive to every twinge down there since MMC, every day I notice something where before I probably wasn't paying attention. I was diagnosed with endo and quite large fibroids before my MMC, it only really affected me during AF but I've had another scan since MC and I think the ERPC actually cleared a lot of it which I'm taking as a positive but I'm also definitely feeling more down there so I think it's normal

@Westy22 I’ve asked this a few times on here but I don’t think everyone seems to get it. I never even knew where my uterus was before my MC but in the weeks/months after all I could feel was pain in it, sitting , standing, trying to do sit-ups or squat etc… it’s a very specific pain. Mine gets much worse if I have to sit with weight on that side, say when I’m driving, it’s a very uncomfortable sore ache that I never experienced before.

Morning everyone 👋🏻

How are all our BFPs getting on any new symptoms? Scans coming up? How are use feeling with emotions?

Anyone heading into their tww or coming to a end? How have use found it?

I'm nearing the end of my tww and tbh I've had enough of all the symptom spotting! the waiting it's driving me mad i don't think I've ever felt this obsessed before with ttc. I don't no if it's because my loss in February.

Xx

Morning @Jadeypie how many dpo are you now? Are you tempted to test yet? I've a long 3 weeks or so ahead I think, so I'm living vicariously through everybody else's symptoms and results!

@Sez281 Tbh I could be 9 dpo or 11dpo or I could have totally missed it if I have a cycle like last month again 🙄 but with the symptom I've been having am thinking 9dpo or 11dpo. And yehh av done a test yesterday stupidly knowing it's wayyyy too early 🙈 I've got more in the post 🤣 I've never been a early tester but God am like a mad women this tww I'm hoping if af shows I won't be this bad next month. I felt like I waited forever for this cycle last month so I get that your probably eger also how are you feeling? Xx

@Jadeypie it's so easy to test early when you know you have loads of tests. I've just got email from Amazon to say mine have been delivered (left on porch🙄) and I'm not home till tomorrow night 🙈😂 I'm feeling ok, apart from being absolutely shattered but that could be heat here. I might go to doc for bloods when I'm home to make sure all ok and no hcg or anything left..I forgot you're not doing opks and just listening to your body, fingers crossed for you 🤞xx

@Sez281 yeh maybe check in with them for piece of mind too! I think if af shows this week I might try opks next month just to see if I listen to my body correctly haha I wouldn't even no where to start with all that side of things tho xx

@Jadeypie Honestly I swear by the easy@home opks. It usually has my fertile window and ov day on app spot on. I know this month I'll be listening to my body too as it's been thrown out of sync with the CP but in general I think they're great. The thing is to do the opposite of pregnancy tests and don't test first thing in morning. After AF I test every afternoon for about a week then twice a day (afternoon and evening) when I think I'm in fertile window. It usually catches it and gives you much better idea about what day you're on 👌

Thank you for the advice @Sez281 I will 100% look into it and give it ago xx

@Jadeypie im 4 weeks and 4 days today. Still testing like a mad woman and they are getting darker 🤞🤞I'm feeling pretty good but more thirsty, peeing more, boobs were like rocks this morn but not sore yet. I wouldn't say I have any strong symptoms which makes me slightly nervous but I'm sure I won't be saying that if the nausea kicks in lol x

Hey @Jadeypie

So my prenom thinks I'm 4dpo and my flo app doesn't think I'm ovulating till next week so I'm kind of winging it this month 🤣 tbh I feel totally over it already and have tried to tell myself to just go the flow and distract myself with other stuff (like my house reno 😫) I don't feel as unstable as I did last month lol that could all change in the next few days though 🤣

@DmcinT thank you for the reply it is a very strange feeling and like you never something I was aware of before. Now I'm feeling lots of pulls and twinges with certain movements I wouldn't say its intense but it's there x

@Strawb28 ohh the thirst! I remember that well that's actually one of the symptoms I put down when getting pg with my DS am glad your feeling good! Am sure In a few weeks time you'll be googling what helps with nausea 🤣

@Westy22 sounds like your doing it right distracting yourself. These aps do like to confuse us I have only ever used flo but av tracked cycles with it since 2017 so I can really look into my cycles pretty well from all the data but yeh I feel over it too hahaha xx

Hi @Jadeypie ! Wishing you and others lots of luck this cycle.

I'm now 14dpo and seeing good progression. Thinking I'll take a digital mid-week to see if I can hit 2-3 weeks. Symptoms are light twinges/shooting pains (since ovulation apart from a slight break between 2dpo and 4dpo), mild nausea, and bloating.

Feeling nervous given last time I was pregnant it was a MMC and I didn't notice anything was wrong as my body didn't react. Going for an early scan around 6+1 weeks for reassurance. Would rather go at 7 weeks but unfortunately I'm travelling for a few weeks around then and I really don't want to wait until 8+3.... I'm pretty certain about my dates and think I implanted early so hopefully I'll see a heartbeat.

Oh and my urine is highlighter yellow and I'm constantly thirsty!

Hii @fleur89 oh wow that is a lovely progression 🥰

All my symptoms have calmed down or are masked by this horrid cold I have it's wiping me out! and am convinced that I should get a early positive if my symptoms where pregnancy related and I've had bfns so far not even squinters so am trying to convince AF will be with me shortly!

I totally get you are nervous I will be when my time comes. But the early scan should give u reassurance I would prefer a 7 week one myself so I get that too. Have u rang the epu or are you waiting? Xx

Hey 😊

That's good progression @fleur89 ❤️

I feel so weird, convinced I'm about to come on again..getting sharp stabbing pains in my uterus and when I coughed before I swear I felt everything pull 😫 been monitoring my cervix activity (as you do) it's very very high almost unreachable and everything feels different like fuller/swollen. Obvs I'm telling myself it's way to early to be pregnancy signs (I've obviously already read about vaginal walls thickening in early pregnancy 😂) but something is definitely different this month 😩 I've not really had any ovulation signs and opk are up and down..unless this is like a painful ovulation? X you know when I said I was going with the flow @Jadeypie yeah I think I've switched 😂😂

Hahaha @Westy22 it's a nightmare isn't it! I done exactly the same 🙈 swear googles seen wayyyy to much of me this tww 🤣🤣 wouldn't it be nice if there was one symptom that guaranteed that it was pregnancy to take all the bloody guess work out! Like if your nipples turned orange you are 1000% pregnant haha but your symptoms sound good tbf xx

I hope so lol sods law I'll come on tomorrow 😂 I always think if someone went through my search history they would be like WTF. It just seems early for any kind of signs so I'm not going to build my hopes up x

Drives me mad symptom spotting 🙈 my AF is due either Thursday or sat I think x

Hi everyone, just popping in to say I'm thinking of those of you in the TWW and keeping fingers crossed.

I'm 13w4 today, had a bit of a fright at the weekend with some brown tinted discharge (my mind immediately went back to my MC as soon as I saw it) but I think it was just some old blood being disturbed by the pressure of my 12 week scan.
Just sharing to hopefully reassure anyone else who experiences anything similar.

On a brighter note we've told our family and friends now, so that was exciting.

@HopeAndStrength omg I feel like that's flown over! Aww it's lovely when you announce and can be in all your pregnant glory ❤️

Are you finding out gender? Xx
