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 ❤️❤️❤️

Hi @Strawb28 I started to feel much better at about 14 weeks, and now I feel almost normal except for tiredness and some stretchy aches from time to time. We haven't DTD for weeks though, I've been too worried about it even though people say it's fine to do. My OH is being very understanding as well.

@Jadeypie @HopeAndStrength thank you so much!!! Because this is my first pregnancy I'm always like omg what if it never gets better but yous have definitely helped. Thank you so much ❤️

@Strawb28 I was the same with sickness, weeks 8,9 and 10 were horrific, I spent nearly 2 weeks in bed so ill. It’s deff eased alot since then even though I do have an odd day of puking or nausea even still at nearly 16 weeks.

i also asked the dtd Q on the feb due thread as I was feeling so guilty about not dtd but everyone said it was non existent the last few months which made me feel a lot better 😂😅

@DmcinT that makes me feel soooo much better as well because I felt so guilty!! I get sick atleast 2 or 3 times a day. I'm hoping it eases a bit now in the next couple of weeks 🤞xx

Aww @Strawb28 so sorry to hear you're feeling so shit! I have no DC but was 8w2 when I had MMC in March, before I found out about the loss I was in no humour to dtd at all, I wasn't as sick as you but extremely bloated and never felt tiredness like it in my life🥴. It sounds like your OH is lovely and understanding so I really wouldn't worry about it at all. Hope you feel a bit better soon 🤞 xx

hey, I’m new here! TTC baby number one.

This is my second month charting and so I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking at. What I read online is that ovulation occurs the day before you get 3 temp rises in a row.

Does that mean I ovulated on Day 16? Or is it where the yellow ovulation marker is?
The small dip I got this morning, does this mean anything?

Thanks in advance! 😀

Hi @Daisychain333 I don't temp so I can't help at all with that but I'm sure the other ladies may be able to. Good luck 🤞

Ah sounds like you've had a rough time @Strawb28 hope it gets better for you soon x

4dpo here and surprisingly not much happening, i feel like my hormones may have really settled as so far ive not had one PMS symptom...they've been raging the previous two months and its usually started by now. I feel quite calm which I'm enjoying lol it will kick in now I've said this 🤣

@Daisychain333 I have no clue about charts sorry but looking at yours maybe day 19 with it being a temp spike then drop? Am just guessing xx

@Westy22 ohhhh I totally understand with the pmt I'm terrible but tbf I havnt had it this month surprisingly with this af showing up out the blue. I think this cycle I'm just gona have to Dtd as much as possible because obviously my cycles aren't regulated since my loss by the looks of things. Here's to us for not being raging loons this cycle 🤣🤣.....for now! X

@Strawb28 I'm 14 weeks now and it has got slightly better in the past two weeks - still knackered but the nausea and sickness have subsided so I'm not feeling like I'm brutally hungover all the time.
As for dtd - with my first pregnancy we hardly did it at all and it'll be the same again. I'm nervous even though I know it's not logical, we've only dtd twice since I was pregnant and both times it altered my CM so it freaks me out a bit. I didn't want to at all in first trimester, sex drive is back a tiny bit but I'm still not that bothered. We tried once a few weeks ago and had to stop so I could be sick so, yeah, that was attractive. DH is understanding, small price for them to pay compared to everything our bodies go through!

@Hankthehonk yes the last time we dtd I ended up being sick also which defo isn't putting anyone in the mood!! Lol. I could maybe do the tiredness as long as the sickness calmed down!! Thanks for the reassurance ❤️

How's everyone getting on? 5dpo here, AF due in 7 days (I'm heading away in 5 days so will definitely be testing before then) I've been cramping so badly since OV day and boobs killing me everyday since peak too but it literally can't be a symptom of anything so trying to ignore it and put it down to hormones fluctuating from new vitamins maybe 🤷‍♀️ @Westy22 you're around same date wise? @Jadeypie hope you're almost done with AF. Will you track this cycle?

Morning @Sez281 so app saying I'm 6dpo and I'm strangely still very calm and serene lol no pms symptoms at all only thing I've noticed is I've broke out a bit skin wise. Few slight twinges but nothing exciting. It's bizarre how my pms seems to have disappeared suppose its still early days tho xx I'll be testing soon no doubt lol

Oooh @Westy22 loving the serene zen approach! 😂 Also I definitely think no symptoms are a good thing, better than over analysing every little thing. I had extreme lighting flashes of pain in my side in bed last night which only lasted a few seconds, not like my normal cramping so hoping it's implantation sign but going to try not overthink it and just keep busy the next few days

@Sez281 I'm trying to convince myself this is exactly how I felt in March when I conceived as I noticed nothing 🤣 until I was atleast 3-4 weeks in when my boobs started hurting. However I wasn't trying to get pregnant so probably wasn't paying any attention 🙈 it's so hard not to start focusing on everything though 🙈

@Sez281 I feel like I'm going round the bend! This AF is not normal for me. It's stopping and starting I've had one bleed today then nothing since the days before have been pink then back to brown I keep changing my dates in the ap coz it's that all over the place. Last three nights I have been getting so nausea from five till about nine pm Done a test today BFN I've been getting loads of cramps and twinges but never building to like AF cramps (ones you need painkillers for) so I just don't no what's going on I'm meant to be due on in about four days originally. Starting to think maybe a cyst or something either way I definitely don't feel Zen like @Westy22 xx

Oh @Jadeypie that sounds so frustrating! Maybe it could be a cyst or stress related as you originally thought. The nausea thing is strange though. Maybe test again in a few days as the original pinkish cm could have been ov bleeding and this weird one could be implantation. You never know 🤷‍♀️🤞 @Westy22 I was in the exact same position in Feb/March.. wasn't actively ttc and actually thought I'd had a period so I only discovered I was pregnant at 6 weeks and had no symptoms. (As soon as I found out my boobs hurt and I was tired but that was it) I'd love to be in the oblivious zone now and not over analysing everything 🥴

Girls, poas obsession kicked in this morning I'm only 7dpo so it's early but my strips are 10miu so makes you wanna test more 🙈 anyway I dunno if I got a shitty indent but it appeared straight away and dried faint pink but its now kicked in full obsessed mode, I tried another but really couldn't force the wee 🤣 so I was manifesting a shadow but don't think there truly was tbh 🤣 telling myself it's too early so it's got to be an indent. X

Hope your OK @Jadeypie it's horrible when pur body starts messing about like that, hopefully it settles down soon x

Oh wow @Westy22 you must have nearly died! I mean if you ovulated earlier than you thought then it could be possible 🤷‍♀️ What tests are they? I've a fresh batch of cheap one steps that arrived yesterday so I know I'm going to be testing early too. Also in the same breath I'm not feeling too confident as I'm pretty sure my mood swings are pms so I have new batch of easy@home opks and pts ready for next cycle 🙈 Keep us updated if you test again. Crossing everything for you!! 🤞xx

I've attached a pic of the brand and the test itself. It's got to be an indent but I literally had a heart lt attack, its kicked in the obsession now 🤣 feeling some aches today and woke up in the night with some mild boob pain and needing a wee so now I'm like what iffff. No need to stop 🙈

@Westy22 I don't think that's a indent! Did it come up in the time frame? Ohhhhhh i am sending so much luck for you Al be stalking you now 🤣 xx

@Sez281 yeh maybe didn't think of that tbh done another test this morning because am just obsessed at the moment haha nothing from yesterday then wipes pink cm again so just f knows. We are going the zoo today so that will be a nice distraction! I was so chilled this cycle because I wasn't thinking about it and since this weird spotting thing I've been crazy haha. Why does ttc just consume everything about us! Xx

Oh @Westy22 I don't think that's an ident either. There's definitely a whisper of a line there. Are you sure you're only 7dpo? Crossing literally everything for you! 🤞 @Jadeypie it's a total mind fuck isn't it. Swore I wouldn't let it consume me this cycle and it has! The zoo will be a nice distraction for you today. I'm off to get nails and pedicure done which of course means sitting with feet in trying to relax but googling all sorts! 🙈 I just realised this thread is almost full. @Freddie15VES I think you're OP on this? Not sure how it works with starting a new one?

It came up straight away @Jadeypie @Sez281 I literally seen it develop whilst I was still on the loo 🤣 I can't get my hopes up yet it's so early anything could happen 🙈 I'll just keep testing over the next few days. Well my peak opk came on cycle day 12 I'm on cycle day 20 but premom is saying 7dpo xx

Nothing on this mornings, confused but still hopeful something may happen as its still early days. I've had some light cramping yesterday and clutching at straws I did an opk test even tho I said I wouldn't lol its on its second day of increasing so I'm praying somethings happening lol if not we go again after AF 🙏 xx how are you guys @Jadeypie @Sez281

Hi, it’s my first time TTC on cycle 2 after cycle 1 unfortunately ended in CP.
Can I have some advice on my OPK lines please? I don’t know if cd11 peak was a faulty test or if it could actually be my peak? I did a second test 25 mins later and it’s not positive so I don’t know what to think. Thank you xx
