TTC after Early Miscarriage part 3

[Ella31]

Part three of of our previous threads.

First time this cycle. I normally ovulate day 20. I was 16/17 before my boys

@emmatcc1 I'm 9dpo today, but I've had them since beginning of the week

It's turns me mind to mulch trying not to symptom spot whilst also bring hyper aware of every little thing that goes on!
Away for the BH weekend so going to wait til Tuesday to test (if I still need to by then) xx

@emmatcc1 I've now got the worst period cramps so ruling myself out already 🙄
We do have our clinic appt coming up but I'd fantasised about ringing them to cancel saying we didn't need it afterall. Stupid imagination running away with myself. 😩😩😩
Hopefully yours are much better early signs than I'd convinced myself mine were. Xx

@Ella31 How is your opk today? I used to take b12, b6, folic acid and D3 and it brought my ovulation to cd11 for the two months I took them. I’m not taking any supplements now but I am doing the pineapple core method this month.

@Onthedouble123 It could be implantation cramping. I had that with my first and know many other also had cramping before bfp.

@emmatcc1 what is the pineapple core method please? Xx

@Onthedouble123 I was 3dpo when I randomly bought a pineapple and then remembered it has something to do with fertility. You buy a whole pineapple and cut off the top, bottom and all the skin, then you cut it in 5 equal pieces and eat one every day with the core. You do 1-5 or 2-6 or 3-7 dpo. The trick is the bromelain that’s mainly packed inside the core and it’s anti inflammatory and a slight blood thiner. Apparently it makes a better blood flow to the uterus and removes any inflammation preventing implantation.

Ooh, sounds worth a try! That's going on my shopping list for next cycle. Xx

Easy at home high. The others are low enough. I'm very confused. Plus I don't have much cm. It's sticky and not a lot of it yet.

How was your mid-week break away @Ella31
is this your first time using opks? Your picture of the test looks good and close to a peak, what cd are you today? dh and I have been taking coq10 for a few months now and all been good, no changes if that's any help, for me I think it's worth it for less chance of a dodgy egg 🙂 x

No I've used them since my first loss so feel well versed with them. My problem is I've no cm really which isn't normal. I'm cycle day 13 but I normally ovulation day 20 since my boys died.

Sorry @Ella31 I maybe don't know much about how the tests look for other people but I'm sorry things are so confusing for you, I hope you figure it out soon x

Clearblue digital ovulation test is negative, little to no cm but my easy at home ov test looks like this. Im very all over the place. I'm only day 13 , I normally ovulate on day 20 and I readings aren't this high until day 17

@Ella31 I didn't have much cm when I ovulated either which was really odd and I've not got pregnant this cycle either but cramps have been unreal. I'm not sure what's going on.

It's so annoying isn't it. I'm just really worried. This isn't normal for me. Can the easy at home be wrong or just sensitive. The boots test was high too. But clearblue pink one negative and looked low on the stick

I used easy at home TTC with both pregnancies (one successful) and got pregnant first time with both by using the ovulation sticks so now it's not happened first time makes me worried. I know it's ridiculous to say that but just because it previously happened straight away and then mind goes into overdrive thinking something is wrong after surgery etc. I've never used the clear blue ones. Should they be flashing now if you're getting a reading like that on the easy at home?

@Ella31 I've conceived on cycles with less cm, so much can affect it - particularly hydration! As long as you're using a sperm friendly lube then I wouldn't worry.

As it happens I always found easy at home OPKs to show up stronger than any other test, maybe your base line lh is slightly higher than normal, but you're not peaking early (yet). You've still got a week until you'd normally ovulate, I bet within the next 2-3 days your cm picks up as normal and all your other tests become higher too ❤️

You may be on a similar time frame to other months in the end. Hope you're having a lovely time away xx

Thanks @ThelastRolo20 what do you mean baseline? Is that like starting level?

Yeah it's so odd. I think the lack of cm is throwing me. Plus clear blue is negative.

Having a lovely trip. Kind of wish I didn't test though.

Hope you are doing good yourself

@Ella31 yeah, maybe it's just slightly higher at this point in your cycle if easy at home is showing stronger than usual. But it might not mean you peak at a different time - you'll ovulate at some point so just keep testing and dtd 😂🥰

I'm such a worry wart aren't I? 😅🤣🤣

I’ve had pregnancy dreams for the past 3days, I think I’m going insane. No cramps yet today but my boobs are now sore to the touch and this morning when I wiped these was so much CM on the toilet paper.

Hi everyone 👋🏼 room for one more?

I've had 2 MCs, first in July 2021 and 2nd in March this year. TTC for 3 years now 😞 Took 4 weeks to get a negative test and another week for my period to return so currently in my first proper cycle post-MC. Usually ovulate around CD15 but things seem to be a bit messed up post-MC. Finally got a positive OPK yesterday at CD25 😌
I've got PCOS and took letrozole both time I got pregnant so not holding out much hope that this natural cycle will be successful but giving it a go and seeing what happens.

Fingers crossed for success for us all 🌟

Welcome and sorry for your losses. You are in good company here. We've had successes and ladies who are still waiting but will get their bfp. Xxx

That sounds so promising. What dpo are you again?

@Ella31 I’m 6 or 7 dpo.

You are in the implantation zone so fingers crossed xxx
