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 ❤️❤️❤️

@HopeAndStrength So glad everything is OK, no wonder you got a fright.
I'm 9w2d now and I'm so exhausted- partly pregnancy and partly anxiety. I'm looking for blood every single time I go to the loo, and struggling to get to sleep at night with thoughts of it going wrong again. I hope this all gets easier if things are OK at our 12 week scan, it's on 11 August and still feels far away.
Good luck to those trying or in tww, hoping for more bfps in the thread soon.

@HopeAndStrength aww that's such a massive milestone to pass and be able to tell everyone 😊 Totally understand how scary it would have been to see the discharge too though, so glad all ok. @Hankthehonk I think I'll be the exact same if it happens for me, no pee will go unwatched 😣 hopefully the next few weeks fly in and you can start to enjoy it 🙏 @fleur89 that's amazing progression. Will be so nice for you to see it on the digital 😊

Thank you everyone! My line was really strong this morning so I decided to risk the digital and got 2-3 weeks 🎉 15dpo today

@fleur89 that’s great to see 🥰❤️ Delighted for u. I hope everything goes smoothly now🙏🏽

@HopeAndStrength oh that’s a great milestone to cross, I’m in for scan on Aug 1st and it feels like it’ll never come, we’ll 🤞🏽 Start telling ppl after that, just a few close ppl and I think around 15/16 weeks I hope I feel comfortable to tell others, I’ll just wait and see. Still feeling quite nervy about it all.

@Hankthehonk similar to u I’m checking everytime I pee (even though mine was a MMC so no blood I still feel nervous it’ll happen🙈) I really hope this goes after 12 weeks and we can start to enjoy/get excited.

sending all the luck to anyone in FW or TWW, everything crossed🤞🏽 Is anyone at the stage of testing?

@DmcinT I've done a few sneaky early ones obviously way too early 🙈 I'm leaving it now till either AF or missed AF thinking about testing Sunday if AF doesn't arrive because then there's no second guessing xx

@Hankthehonk im the exact same as you checking every single time I go and being so grateful when I don't see anything! I'm going to be 5 weeks tomorrow. I am so excited to meet the milestone. I had my chemical at 4weeks 3 days so I feel blessed to have these extra days 🤞

@fleur89 That's awesome, congrats on your digital!
@Strawb28 totally get that, getting past the 8w2d milestone last week (when my last mc happened) felt big, but didn't relieve my anxiety as much as I'd hoped. Every week I'm desperate to hit the next week! I do have a bit of sadness that I'm not savouring/enjoying this pregnancy at all, just wishing it further along constantly

@Jadeypie i was always the same, I do be full of good intentions to wait until 12/14 dpo but by 8/9 I’m itching to test 😅🙈 I’ve everything crossed for u over the next few days 🤞🏽✨

@HopeAndStrength that's lovely to hear! Congrats! And I'm glad the scare was just a scare. Hope you can start to relax into it a bit more.

@fleur89 that's lovely! Congrats! 🥰

@Hankthehonk congrats on getting past 9 weeks. Completely get you feeling so nervy but from my viewpoint of not having conceived again yet, and knowing I will still have those early weeks to come, you've made it a long way! I hope you manage to find some peace and joy in your journey at some point but you know what, don't feel guilty about wishing the time away etc. Your journey is very different this time and it's ok. It's ok to be petrified and nervous. You've been through a lot. Keep being kind to yourself and just let this be what it is. ❤️

Those of you who've not conceived again yet, whereabouts are you up to in your cycles? Anyone entering tww? I have hopefully ovulated today... So, it begins 😬😎

Aw so exciting these positive stories. If i get there i would also feel scared & nervous, as its been said its part of our story now.

Im in fertile window but havent dtd yet due to partner being away... might catch it right at the weekend. Have booked a hol for August so might take time out & pick up again after that. Im 37 & partner 44... keep over thinking our ages & worrying about our chances.

@Ttc2023x same ages as me and my DH! It's so hard not to overthink isn't it. At the start of the year we were so lucky it only took 3 cycles but then of course it was a MMC and I know age can play a part in loss so... 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just have to trust that the right one will be fine 💕🌈

I feel we are so in sync - even down to cycles 😂 yeah a lot of it is made up rules by others isnt it, i feel in my heart it will happen so just have to trust the process! 🌈❤️

@SnookyPook sending you lots of luck for these next two weeks 🥰

I've gave up in trying to think what dpo I am haha I'm due AF either tomorrow or Saturday so I'm just gona keep busy these next few days xx

Morning,

Well premom thinks I already ovulated and I'm 7dpo however I've just done an OPK and got the strongest positive I've ever had which is more in line with Flos prodiction of my fertile window being this week, so looks like I'm about to ovulate although theres no CM to indicate this 😑 Now to get my bf involved 👀🤣

I've had a dull ache/cramp in my uterus since Saturday which almost felt like I was about to come on, so god knows what that was x

@Westy22 ugh that's so annoying! I'm kind of in the same boat. Premom says I'm not in fertile window for 4 days or ovulating for another 9 but I have aches to suggest it's a lot closer and going by my last 2 cycles I'd be in fertile window today (CP messed me up on the app I think) so I'm going to listen to my body and start dtd from today.. I may have to continue on till next week too tho 🙈

@Sez281 very annoging, but yes i think we just go for it lol I've just had some proper clear egg white discharge with a very light pink tinge so definitely think something is happening lol (sorry if that was tmi lol)

@Westy22 not tmi at all! Lol.. just thinking though, if your Premom app is right and you are 7dpo that could be a sign of implantation 😳 my LH was really high when I had my BFP so maybe you should do a hcg in a few days just in case 🤷‍♀️🙏

It has crossed my mind @Sez281 but I told myself to pack it in 🤣 I'll keep tracking LH and if it stays high I'll maybe test. I only have one test and it's not early detection so need to try and hold off 🙈 xxx

@Sez281 I was all out of sync because of my long cycle last month. But I've gone with my usual ovulation then what the AP is saying and then where it was last month just to try and cover it all 🤣

@Westy22 I second what @Sez281 said could be implantation? But DTD anyways just Incase x

@Westy22 yeah maybe save the test and hold out as long as you can. How long is your cycle normally? My last 2 were 26days before the CP which was 31. So I've promised myself I'm not gonna test until day 26 this time 🙈
@Jadeypie the out of sync thing is so frustrating isn't it 😣 But yeah I'm gonna go from previous ones which would mean fertile window starting today and continue on for another week just to cover all the bases 😂

@Westy22 i got pink when I wiped 8dpo and high lh tests turned out I was pregnant 😏😏 could be the same for you!!!

@Sez281 before mc it was around 27 days but I'm unsure of my cycle length now as this is the first one since my period which took 62 days to arrive 😱

I've had some more CM and it's proper thick, I read something like "fertile mucus is stuff you can swim through" I don't think you could get through this 🤣 It's mainly clear now with a hint of a pink but very jelly like 😷 I definitely didn't get this with my first pregnancy (MC)

@Strawb28 I really don't want to get my hopes up but i definitely did when i saw it 🤞

@Jadeypie here's to holding out aslong as possible before testing 😩

@Westy22 pmsl with visions of somebody swimming through CM, somebody should make that emoji 🙈🤢😂 Wow 62 days was a lot, I thought I was bad at 48! 🥴I had my MMC at end of Feb/ start of March and AF back at end of April/start of May, had 2 perfect 26 day cycles up until CP 10 days ago and that only lasted 2.5 days which has totally thrown me cos I'm really crampy today and feels like my normal ov pain but not sure 😭 I never normally check my CM but all this talk of it I'm going to start paying more attention 🧐

@SnookyPook Thank you, it actually really helps to have someone say "you've made it a long way" because I spend all week wishing for the next week milestone then when I'm in it, it doesn't feel like enough either! It's a good reminder of the importance of perspective.
Good luck for your tww! How are you feeling emotionally this month?

Excited for those who are close to testing I'll keep checking for updates!

Evening, how's everyone feeling?

Quick question for those who have tracked ovulation when you get a peak how soon/fast does it drop? Mines only dropped slightly in 24 hours x
