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 ❤️❤️❤️

Think I'm on last day of AF as just light spotting now so will be cracking out the opks soon... Feeling weirdly excited 🤷🏼‍♀️

I say this now but I don't think I'll be testing for pregnancy anytime early... I was always one who waited for missed AF anyway so my previous BFPs have come at 14dpo... I feel like I may try to hold out even beyond that because I'll be scared of an early loss etc... Did anyone else feel that way? Saying that, if AF doesn't appear I guess it will already be on my mind and I might as well officially know... Guess we'll cross that bridge if and when we get to it! Can't believe I'm back to TTC!

@DmcinT

How is everyone else doing? How are the BFP people getting on? Good luck and baby dust to those in the fertile window! @DmcinT @Freddie15VES (and others!)

@RegardingPersephone are you planning to test as soon as you have the tests? Good luck!

Good luck everyone!
AF still hasn't arrived so I've finally tested and have a faint line!

@HopeAndStrength congratulations ❤️

@HopeAndStrength ooh! Congratulations lovely! How are you feeling? Xx

@HopeAndStrength lovely news, huge congrats 🥳🎉 I’d say that’s not even faint, that’s a pretty convincing line 👏🏽 xx

Thank you @Favofit @SnookyPook @DmcinT - I'm so nervous after last time. Just feeling some aches around my abdomen at the moment, they started a few days ago. No other symptoms so far

@SnookyPook As much as I want to say no I probably will.

Congratulations @HopeAndStrength !

@HopeAndStrength Congratulations!

I’m feeling super hopeless today worrying about all sorts, secondary infertility, getting pregnant again, getting pregnant again and losing it. It’s all hitting me today!

@Freddie15VES it's very hard not to overthink with all the information that we have access to, so many what ifs... I'm trying to flip my own thoughts to "what if it's all ok" - I know it won't change anything and what will be will be, etc. But it helps when I have a bit of a spiral.

@HopeAndStrength I love that! Will try to remember that one... "What if it's all ok?" 👍🏻

@Freddie15VES sending hugs and hope tomorrow is brighter again for you. One day at a time. ❤️

My AF is officially over so will be cracking out the opks soon (in fact did one today just in case things were super weird after the loss but if course it was the most negative I've ever seen an opk) 😂 The rollercoaster begins...

@HopeAndStrength thanks 💖 and big congratulations!

@SnookyPook yeah I think that’s my issue I’m taking opks and expecting them to be dark when they’re obviously not going to be!

@Freddie15VES I completely get that! I'm feeling quite impatient at the moment. There's so much waiting around each cycle isn't there and you can't speed any of it up.. it all happens in its own time! Likelihood for me is ovulation at least a week away and then it will be another week until possible symptoms and then another week to test... I'm trying to be mindful about it all and to take each day as it comes.... Easier said than done!

@Freddie15VES im sorry ur having a bad day, it’s deff a rollercoaster. The constant waiting feels endless at times. I’m trying to focus on getting fit and healthy again. I’d gained abt 10 pounds over those 3 months of being pregnant and had been told no gym or running while I was pregnant (I’ve a weakened cervix from previous surgeries) so having this focus has made time pass a bit quicker.

In saying that I’m still on the countdown to ovulation in a few days 😂

I've just had a faint line on a frer but it didn't come up on the internet cheapie. Cautiously optimistic but worried about a chemical so not getting my hopes up. Don't think I will mention it to dp until tomorrow to see if it is not a fluke.

The worry is beginning of what if it happens again but there were some easy to spot signs last time. My tests never got really really dark and started decline at about 5 weeks and I never got the 2-3 on clearblue.

Will update you all tomorrow. Hope everyone else is doing okay!

@RegardingPersephone eeeeek! How exciting!!!

Im feeling better today. My OPK is much darker this morning and having cramps/ewcm so hoping I’ll be ovulating soon in the next few days. Feel like this is progress at least as I wasn’t getting anything as dark as there before

@Freddie15VES Mine looked like this the day before I got a peak.

@emmatcc1 eek really! I’ve been worried ovulation is all over the place after my MC so im hoping this is a sign im getting back to normal!

@Freddie15VES ah that's looking hopeful! Mine were still stark white this morning but it's only 2 days since AF and I wouldn't normally even test at this point but I just had it in my head I wanted to keep an eye on things for the whole cycle this month to build a better picture and in case anything is a bit off since the loss. Keep us posted!

@SnookyPook defo darker today!!! Eeek I feel like I’ll ovulate soon. We’re trying to DTD every other day so far so good! DP isn’t complaining one bit ha

I was the exact same though as soon as I finished my period I was testing and was dead disappointed when they were white! Happens so quickly though

Oh that’s looking great @Freddie15VES deff very close

i finally got a flashing smilie this morning on cb digital but still nothing on opks so I’d say I’m at least 2/3 days away yet
@SnookyPook deff good idea to test early, anything is possible after a MC they say so at least it gives an idea of what everything is doing

oh girls I’ve everything crossed for us all this month 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

@Freddie15VES ooh exciting! Deffo looks like your peak should be close! Haha I bet your DP is loving it! Hubby and I are both off work for a week now and I've told him the timing is great as we will need to be ON IT next week 😂😂 He seems pretty happy about that too!

Thanks @DmcinT glad it's not just me! Sounds hopeful for you being close too... We'll all be in tww together... Everything crossed for 🌈 babies 🥰

ahhhhhh! I knew it!

I have some progression! 🙌 I'm going to be obsessive with this I think as my last tests I never got a really dark one and that was a big indicator it wasn't going well I think. 11dpo today and didn't do another frer as they are expensive! Will keep those for tomorrow to check progression

@Freddie15VES Definitely a peak! Get on it! 😂
