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 ❤️❤️❤️

Yeah @Strawb28 was just thinking about you. Hope you're doing ok today, did you manage to get through to your doc?

So I'm on this eveing just to rant. Hit 2 lovely highs on my opks today 2 days into predicted fertile window. Delighted and totally ready ttd (it's been 2 days since last time) but my DP is currently in bed with a really bad hangover and is definitely not up for anything 🙈😭 In fairness it was like an annual say out yesterday with his mates and it's not like he does it all the time but I'm absolutely fuming as I'm so afraid to miss our window. I haven't actually told him I have high LH because I never do but I'm debating going in and waving it in his face so just need somebody to calm me down 🙈😂

@Strawb28 ignore my last post you must have posted as I was typing. Ah god you poor thing, I can only imagine the fear when seeing it. It's great that it's stopped though and hopefully the earlier scan will give you some reassurance 🤞 xx

@Sez281 thank you!! I'm praying for good news on Wednesday!! I would definitely wave it in his face lol!!! It's horrible when u feel like you've built up to it and then you might miss it! He could be glad knowing! X

@Strawb28 I wouldn't mind I'm not in the humour at all to dtd but I know I'll be kicking myself if I don't so I'll wait till after his dinner and say it 😂 I've actually booked in with my doc tomorrow morning for bloods to check my hcg after the CP. I know I'm not pregnant as all negative tests (and the fact that LH is high again I'm nearly ovulating) but I've just felt so strange all week with really weird cramping and tugging (if they weren't neg I'd swear I was still) I'm just concerned there might be something left as only bled for 2.5 days during cp. so want to make sure all ok.
I'll be crossing everything for you on Wednesday, try and keep busy till then and hopefully it flies in 🤞xx

@Sez281 thats a good plan!! I've had months like that too where I've felt I didn't want to do it either but you'll feel great in a day or 2 knowing you've hit it nail on! That was quite a short bleed wasn't it? Hopefully the doctors can shed some light on it for you and put your mind at ease! X

Good luck @Strawb28 I will be thinking of you and hopefully everything is okay xx

I would of been the same @Sez281 lol its hard when you know it's the window of opportunity and they have no idea! My OH usually has a low sex drive tbh so it kind of worried me but so far we've been okay and I'm praying something happens this month 🙏 I'm 5dpo and my LH is rising again so I'm hoping it stays high and is picking up something...hope it doesn't drop off a cliff again later. Good luck at the docs hope they clear everything up, I only bled for 5 days with my MC at 5 weeks (should've been 7) but did take forever to get my HCG to come right down x

Thanks @Westy22 I was just thrown by the fact that it was only 2.5 days (I bled for a month with my MMC but that was with medical & surgical management) I know there's probably nothing there as I'm definitely ovulating now but the pain has been so bad all week I just want to make 💯 sure.. I'm actually so jealous of you being 5dpo, I feel like this is going to be longest tww for me now😣. Your LH rises could definitely be a sign🤞. Will you wait until AF due to test? I've already decided I'm going to test in 9 days if I have symptoms as I have a couple of events coming up that weekend which I would be drinking at so don't want to risk it.

TWW is torture lol I'm wishing the days away @Sez281 ill probably test earlier I'm not going to lie 🤣 I'm obsessed! It was my first proper peak this month and good ovulation signs so I'm trying to tell myself there is a good chance but then I'm probably setting myself up to fail 😂

😂@Westy22 I don't know what I'm saying as I'm obsessed too! That's great about all the signs and peak, hopefully you caught it 🤞 If my bad cramping is ovulation then I'm cautiously optimistic too. We didn't dtd as much as I wanted but then again on my last 2 BFPs we only did it once in fertile window so you never know 🤷‍♀️🙏

@Strawb28 I hope your ok! Sending you hugs it must be doing distressing xx

@Sez281 & @Westy22 good luck in your tww girls hopfully use don't go too crazy 🤣🙈

I think I've been tracking my periods all wrong I've been logging spotting as day 1 instead of when flow actually starts. This period is really taking its time to get going it's annoying me! So I'm on cycle day 2 I think going to get ovulation sticks to try to accurately pin point where my ovulation is. Do I start the the day after my period ends because I'm not sure with where I am anymore if I've been tracking it all wrong 🙄🙄

@Jadeypie Thanks, I'm going to try and distract myself as much as possible. So you should start tracking opks a day or so after AF is finished, I'd only test once a day (afternoon or evening) for the first few days then after a little while start testing twice (afternoon and evening again if possible) don't worry about fluctuations for the first few days it's perfectly normal. You should start to see a rise just before fertile window and then big jump at surge then a drop again. I hit my peak yesterday and it's gone down again this morn. Have attached my chart just to give you an idea.

@Sez281 thank you that's really helpful and I can see what u mean with the tests. I've got that ap what sticks do u use? Xx

@Jadeypie I've already gone insane I've analysed pretty much everything today 🤣 the colour of my urine, how my boobs feel, the fact I had a night sweat last night and got really hot earlier. I'll be glad to be back in work tomorrow 😂😂

@Strawb28 how is everything today? xx

YESSSS to the girls in the TWW manifest manifest manifest!! This is your month I can feel it

Thank you @Freddie15VES ❤️ I've been trying to manifest positive Vibes 🤞🙏🙏

Hope your well x

@Freddie15VES so far so good today thank god! I had some slight brown spotting on my underwear but not when wiping. Can't wait until tomorrow to see how the scan goes. It's only 6 weeks though but I am praying I can see a wee heartbeat

@Jadeypie I use the Premom sticks from Amazon too. They have mixed reviews but I like them. I get the bundle with 10hcgs flr the twee
@Freddie15VES thanks for the positive vibes, I'm feeling very emotional today as it's last day in window and I'm worried we didn't dtd enough although my last few BFPs we barely did it so I need to remind myself of that! It doesn't help that my DP is 2 days off cigarettes. I'm so proud of him but he's like a demon (a bit like me with pms 😂). It's going to be a looong 2 weeks 🙈
@Strawb28 wishing you so much luck for tomorrow hun, I'm sure it'll be fine! 🙏🤞 xx

@Strawb28 sending u all the positive vibes for ur scan tomorr, everything crossed for u🤞🏽❤️
@Sez281 great to see that peak, did u manage to dtd yesterday after that? How was the doc this morning for bloods?

@Westy22 great to see u in the TWW🎉 as torturous as it is just think of all those weeks waiting on af where you’d have loved to be in tww. Really hoping this is ur month🤞🏽🤞🏽 How many dpo are u now?

hope everyone else is staying sane ❤️

@DmcinT My doc is amazing, she put through bloods for hcg (even though there's probably none but just to be sure) she also ticked the box for everything just because of my cramps and headaches to make sure all ok. I also have a box of cyclogest prescribed by her ready to go if I get a BFP 🤞We dtd this morning but my LH had massively dropped so I'm hoping I caught it on Saturday 🙏

Thank you at @DmcinT I never thought of it like that, definitely a better position to be in now 🤞I'm 5dpo, not much happening other than some mild cramping this eve xxx

Good luck tomorrow @Strawb28 I will be thinking of you xxx

Thank you so much @DmcinT and @Westy22 I will send an update after the scan 🤞❤️

@Strawb28 hope all goes well for you 💕

7dpo here. Halfway through the tww... So oww I guess 😂 Not particularly feeling much at all right now but am managing to be a lot calmer and more casual than last month and I have a hopefulness I can't shake. Who knows if that's a good sign but at least I'm feeling less crazed than last cycle so I'll take that at least! Hoping I don't turn into a psychotic lunatic over the next few days!!

Like @Freddie15VES I'm rooting for all of you in the tww!! There are more bfps in this group this month I can feel it.

At 10.5 weeks pregnant I'm finally starting to feel less anxious and more excited. I do get nervous whenever I think about our scan next week in case it's bad news but need to keep reminding myself I've got no reason to be worried. Exhaustion and nausea are still kicking my butt but I'm grateful to feel so pregnant.
