Still trying for third baby - thread 2!

@AnaReis @MrsPepper82 @AFeastforCrows @MacNut @WhattheEll @TT82 @Suchardchoccy

Please tag others I’ve blatantly forgotten! And welcome to the new thread!

@Rose38 so that it truly sounds just like horrible coincidence of consecutive chemicals.
@Ifyouknowyouknowyouknow what are your plans - are you going to leave us soon 😂
@elle123355 how your journey is coming?

I had a positive smiley faces greeting on my ovulation test. For the first time I managed to take 2 tests for comparison usual stripe and CB. CB sensitivity is 40 so I assumed to get a double strength t line on stripe but it was only 1,13 and at 5.45am. Instructions say to take it with second morning urine and that one a bit after 10 am showed already low again 😂 Day before it was vica versa - at 7 it was almost bare testline area and at 10.30 0.26. So if I would’ve sticked to normal stripe tests and their schedule I would’ve missed my spike. Well I kinda feel it in my ovaries and elsewhere and my DH sees me as a cat 🐈‍⬛ around a juicy what ever cats like 😜
And the best thing is that I don’t feel hopeless. Love that estrogen energy. Must enjoy till I can.

I think that’s why I abandoned OPKs @MrsPepper82 , clear as mince and my body gives fairly clear signs anyway. Or so I think! I was meaning to ask if other people get sore boobs at ovulation time, or after? I always thought that for me when sore boobs arrive, that’s a sign ovulation has happened and it’s all over for the fertile window. But I can’t remember how I came to assume that, if that correlated with the OPKs when I did them, I think that could have been it. But this month I had super sore boobs and it occurred does this mean I am ovulating and I’m missing it because we don’t keep DTD at that bit? Usually I don’t feel like it by then which is also something I take as a sign it’s over, but maybe I’m just fed up after the efforts in the run up!! Interested in the timing of breast pain for others, if you get it.

@Beginningless I never used to before I started taking the pill but since I came off the mini pill, I now get boob pain soon after my AF finishes. It seems to start before ovulation for me. I even get ovulation pain which I never used to get before. Seems like the mini pill really messed up my body.

I don't get much breast pain, only very occasionally totally randomly!

I think what's 'normal' for an individual can change over time naturally too though. I used to get super mild ovulation cramps before I had DC1 and ever since I had them I get it a lot worse. Sometimes it's so sore I use a hot water bottle like people do with period pain (I don't often get period pain that bad myself thankfully).

@Beginningless so funny!! I was just wondering wth is going on as my boobs started to hurt for the first time a day before O on O and 1dpo.
Then it settled down and today 4DPO again it begin.
Goog said estrogen is also responsible for that.
Maybe it’s just high this O time.

I am sure I ovulated same day as I peaked, peak was early in the morning and O in the evening so I hope we had best timing possible. Next day I woke with temp shift and noonish my creamy discharge arrived.
I couldn’t tell which ovary it was as both were soar this time and also my post O soar feeling was all over my uterus.

Soon I should start my proov pdg testing. Not so keen anymore as it requires 6h hold and fmu 😂 this is usually around five am for me. And picture needs to be taken 10minutes after with excellent lighting. No way I will get any sleep after that wake up call. Hopefully I manage to drink less in the evening and make it till 6 at least.

Ah well that’s helpful to know that it’s pretty body specific! I don’t get ovulation pain at all, sometimes twinges that I wonder but that’s rubbish when it’s really sore. Boobs very achy tho. I had my bloods taken again this month after they got lost so hopefully that can shed a bit more light on my hormones. My boobs are now sore again with 4 days til AF due.

What is the proov testing @MrsPepper82 ?

@Beginningless ohh that nervous time for you soooon. 🤞
Proov is progesterone testing, that makes sure your level stays high enough on 7-10 dpo, if it’s dropping early pregnancy won’t get support it needs. I guess this is the only thing I had left to do. My progesterone has not actually never been low so a bit of an overkill tbh. But I haven’t tested it after 7dpo as a single snapshot of it.

So great to see activity here, it already felt like haunting house 👻

I've always felt the same, after I ovulate I get sore boobs, that's how I know I've ovulated. I'm just not sure if it's immediately after or not, so I usually keep DTD just in case it's still in time. Also when my fertile window begins I get loads of EWCM so it's easy to spot. During the hols it wasn't as easy because I spent my days in water and wasn't so simple to see the CM on the swimsuit 😅 I miss my summer hols 🥺

Sounds similar to my symptoms @AnaFox. Or so I think! We DTD the first day of sore boobs this month even tho I assumed it too late so hopefully covered bases.

@MrsPepper82 , thanks. I just had ‘day 21 bloods’ thru Gp which I think look at progesterone, except she did them on day 18 for me since my cycles are average 25 days. Hopefully results soon, she talked about swabs after this. Sounds good for you to check everything like you say even if doesn’t seem like a big flag.

I'm on CD27 here and waiting with baited breath...FF says my period is due tomorrow, my cycles so far have between 26-28 days long.

Oh good luck @WeightoftheWorld , hope this is it for you… what’s your feeling? I’m a little hopeful this month, although I am many of the months so fully aware this means nothing 😆

Good luck! Keep us updated! ❤️

So this month I didn't worry too much about DTD. We did it before my FW started and did it today at cd15. I usually ovulate on the CD14 but today I had lots of EWFM. I don't feel sore boobs yet, so maybe my ovulation will be a bit later than usual? 🤔 Will try to DTD tomorrow just for fun I guess 😅

@Beginningless
@WeightoftheWorld
how are you?

I am on 6dpo and wasn’t expecting to see spotting. Last time I saw it was when my TSH was high still back in summer. And once at 10dpo that is normal implantation time with my chemical also, so now as a typical cant let it go person I wonder have my TSH levels gone up again.
My rhr has was a lot lower this cycle and temps are also steady unlike my other charts so far so today I don’t even regret that I decided to pdg test from tomorrow on.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

I am currently full of a horrible cold that I've caught from work as almost everyone in my team has either had it last week or has it now. So annoying - we used to mostly work from home and they just decided to pull us all back in recently for no genuine reasons and now we have all been sick as a result. I soldiered on yesterday in the office but feel absolutely dreadful today so am off sick today. I hate that though because I only get so much sick pay and I really need to save it for if I do get pregnant seeing as I will almost certainly have HG again and need a few months off.

FF says I'm now CD29. So I'm just waiting to see if a period arrives today or not really. If it's not here by tomorrow then I should probably do a test. I don't actually have any and I'm now ill though so not sure when I will do one!

Also, DH and I have been watching a Canadian comedy on Netflix called 'Kids Ruin Everything' which I would recommend, it's very funny and accurate!

Mrs I can't tag anyone on the app now for some reason but I wonder whether you may have ovulated slightly earlier than you think and the 6dpo bleed could be implantation bleeding? My tiny bleed I had this month was around 7dpo which I think is about as early as an implantation bleed can be.

I've got my scan in a couple of minutes and I'll keep you guys updated, I'm still bleeding brown blood and it's been going on 8 days now

@elle123355 🤞🤞🤞
@WeightoftheWorld what a bummer 😣 hope you’re having a reason to find a pharmacy and test still 😂
For me there is little room for imagination when I ovulated as 31.01 it was still low LH like 0.4something and 1.02 I peaked and had O. 2.02 It was already temp shift so I detect it happened evening before - ovaries also were soar.
Few days later I would have been exited but now very cautious as most of googled case turned out to be nothing with so early spotting.

Definitely sounds promising @WeightoftheWorld , but sorry you are so poorly.

All the best to you @elle123355. And fingers crossed for you too @MrsPepper82 , spotting at that stage sounds promising too.

Im due tomorrow and BFN this morning, also feel the beginnings of AF so pretty sure I’m out. Bit bummed but am ok. I’ll call Gp for my blood results later so at least have something to chase up for a sense of progress. Definitely thinking that it’s getting close to time to call it a day.

It's an ectopic for me guys, bleeding for 8 days straight and they can see a mass on my right ovary so they think it's a baby in there.

I'm so heartbroken and scared of surgery if that's what I need 😭

@elle123355 I am soooo sad and tears are falling. Seems crazy maybe bc you are a total stranger but I have understood that when it comes to be about children we kind of feel it very strongly. I hope you have a safe surgery 🥺
@Beginningless It is just this time you didn’t get it. No reason to be the same next time.
I truly hope that even this early it could be a good sign. I am not even sure how, although I am worried about it I kind of feel still good. Emotional but cautiously hopeful.

Oh I’m so sorry @elle123355, no wonder you are scared, that’s a big thing to be going through surgery as well as processing a pregnancy that’s not to be. Sending lots of hugs to you.

Thanks @MrsPepper82.

@elle123355 So sorry to hear that. Hope you are ok. Se what the doctors say.

I'm currently on CD6. I had my blood test done earlier this week but everything the GP tested for seems to have come back fine. And my internal scan from November was also fine. Guess my 2 chemicals in a row might have just been bad luck.

Just carrying on ttc even though we are flying out to Canada next week. I didn't see the use in stopping as I want to believe that I can't be that unlucky that I'll have a 3rd chemical in a row, right? Must be pretty rare for that to happen. So 🤞 and let's see....

The good thing about being away is that I won't be able to do any early testing constantly. I might just take one test with me.

@elle123355 oh love I'm so sorry. Thinking of you and sending you strength for whatever is to come.

@Rose38 I am so glad to hear you are seeing the future already 🥰
I think what makes me so much better is the hope that there is now and later the time my supplement supported eggs are being delivered 😂 I took way little q10 at first and also no NAC nor ALA so improvement in my menu is promising.

Omg that must be so scary 😭 I'm so sorry 😔 I hope you manage to solve this without having surgery 😔
