Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone else is at the start of their cycle and wants to make a little thread to go through the month together?

I'm currently CD2. I had a loss in February and this will be my first cycle properly trying again. Feeling nervous and excited. Hoping the loss was a once off 🤞🏼

All welcome to join if you are early on in your cycle 🥰

Hopefully I'll be CD1 on Friday if my cycle has went back to normal after my MC. Good luck this cycle 🥰

Thanks @jellyfish2 you too 🥰 I think I recognise your username from another thread. Have you been TTC long?

Hi, I'm CD6. Just had my first period since having a MMC and surgical management last month 💔
4 losses in 9 months and I'm scared to try again, but don't want to miss my opportunity.
Am booked jn to the recurring loss clinic next month though so maybe I need to sit this month out .... don't know what to do 😣

Rosyposy26 · 22/04/2024 21:00

I’m CD7 does that count my last cycle was 45 days after MC

Oh @JC084 I am so unbelievably sorry you've gone through all this. I've only had one loss and it was so tough so I can even imagine what you're going through. ❤️

It might be no harm to try again but not to put too much pressure on yourself. I really hope you get some answers soon ❤️ do you have any support while you go through all this? If you ever need to talk just PM me ❤️

Of course ❤️ welcome to the thread and I'm so sorry you've had a MMC.

I am currently on my second period since my loss and honestly it's horrible. I feel so sick and just low mood. I am so broody. I just want to be a mum so much 🥹

Hopefully this cycle is lucky for us all 🤞🏼❤️

@Bb542 I had MC 2/2 I bled 28 days after but was very light then waited 45 days and it was so heavy finished 3 days ago. I had a scan and they found what they thought was retained tissue. Hopefully that has all passed.

fingers crossed for us. I’m so broody also.

jellyfish2 · 22/04/2024 21:29

@Bb542 I recognise your name from another thread, maybe one about the MC? My MMC was in Feb and we did TTC straight away but I don't think my body was ready so we've skipped a cycle and I want my period to arrive so we can TTC on the next one. I won't ovulate til around 15th may though which feels like ages away.
@JC084 I'm so sorry to hear you've had 4 losses, that's absolutely heartbreaking. Do you have any answers as yet? Sending you lots of positive vibes 🩷

CapricornDiaries5194 · 23/04/2024 12:07

Hi all I am on Cycle#2 day 7 I would also Like to join you guys in this journey Started LH testing yesterday(didn't test in my first cycle). Hoping this is the month for all of us✌

JC084 · 23/04/2024 20:29

@Bb542 @jellyfish2
Thank you both for the comments.
It's been a tough year or so, especially this last month or so, but I'm Keeping positive.
Definitely not putting myself under any pressure for the time being and hoping I might get some answers at clinic next month.

My loss was in Feb too so it must have been from that thread. How are you feeling this cycle? Fingers crossed it happens for you this month 🥰

Hi lovely. So nice we can go through it together. Are you TTC your first baby?

2BabyOrNot2Baby · 23/04/2024 20:44

Hi ladies, can I join please?
Currently CD2 I believe. Cycles suddenly all over the place so just come out of a 37-38D cycle 🥴

Sorry to hear so many have had previous losses, really hoping you all get your rainbows very soon 💖

retrievermum · 23/04/2024 20:46

CD2 here! Just had a CP (and a 50 day cycle!), currently trying to conceive baby number 2!

Of course lovely 🩷 welcome. I totally know what you mean about your cycles being all over the place. So many people I know (me included) had their cycles become longer while TTC. Must be the stress 🙈 is this your first time TTC?

Will be #2 for me. Ideally I wanted a nice little age gap and it's just getting further and further apart 😅

I only came off the pill end of Nov so it hasn't been TOO rough this time, no AF in December, but January and February seemed to be like clock work, then up in the air again for March and April! But saying that, I've never really been regular. I can count on one hand how many periods I had in the year I was TTC #1 and still have fingers left over 🙃
You're probably right, it very well might be the stress but you just can't help it can you 🙈 wishing you all the luck for this next month 🍀

Welcome @retrievermum 🥰 so sorry about your CP.
You're just behind me. I'm CD3. How are you feeling?

@2BabyOrNot2Baby oh totally! Cycles are so crazy. It's mad how they can go from being totally normal one month to 50 days another 😂

Also... has anyone already calculated their predicated due date for this cycle if we're lucky enough to conceive? 🙈 or just me? 😂

OP posts:
retrievermum · 23/04/2024 22:02

@Bb542 thanks! I’m okay, surprisingly not as upset about CP as I thought I’d be, crazy as that sounds! I think I’ve half convinced myself that a bigger age gap between DD and another baby wouldn’t be so bad, but not sure if that’s just me giving myself an excuse if it doesn’t happen!

How are you? Excited or nervous or a bit of both?

Rosyposy26 · 23/04/2024 22:02

I ordered the clear blue digital ovulation tests and did first one this evening and got a static smile. Hopefully it’s true ovulation as I had a 45 day cycle last time and now CD10.

Hi dear,
No I am TTC for my 3rd Child, After 10 years of having my 2nd child. and back then i had no knowledge it just happened. but now its hard to conceive i guess because of the age I am 30 and this is my 2nd cycle.

Bb542 · 24/04/2024 20:06

@CapricornDiaries5194 ah I see! I'm 30 this year too, but this would be my first baby. Hopefully it happens for you soon 🤞🏼

What ovulation sticks is everyone using? I used to use easy @ home before my MMC but they're unavailable on Amazon at the moment. Anyone got any good/cheap suggestions?

OP posts:
Rosyposy26 · 24/04/2024 20:12

I used easy at home and the Premom ones but found it difficult testing during the day. I’ve just got the clear blue digital and first time using yesterday got a static smile so peak fertility. Only have to test once a day.

jellyfish2 · 24/04/2024 20:38

@Bb542 I'm feeling positive about this cycle! Really want to be pregnant again. How are you feeling about it? Re ovulation tests, I use the easy at home ones. I've just ordered them from Amazon and they're in stock for me. Are you in the UK?

Bb542 · 24/04/2024 22:03

I'm feeling hopeful about this cycle but I know if I do get pregnant I'll be feeling very anxious. The excitement from last time might not be there initially.

I'm in Ireland and it says they're unavailable 😩💔 I could try order them from the UK but I'll probably have to pay customs 😫
