TTC after loss part 5

Ella31 · 04/08/2024 18:18

Just continuing our old thread. I've added anyone who has asked to stay on here. As always, anyone who is trying after a loss is welcome to join and those who have been lucky since are welcome to encourage those who are still waiting for their rainbow (if you want to stay of course )

Also for the next thread, I'm going to let someone else take over creating the new one if people don't mind. I've a lot on at the moment with tests and I'm back to work in the next few weeks after my bereavement leave with my boys. So if anyone would like to take the mantle, feel free.

Im 2dpo today and have another ultrasound on Wednesday to see if follicle has burst followed by pdg blood test.

Where are you on holiday @Figtree11 ? I am off on Holiday in a weeks time and I can't wait.
I am cd7 so I am hoping ovulation comes next week before I go on holiday but with how it has been I am not pinning my luck on it.
Fingers crossed for you @Superscientist
I am impressed at those who manage to wait to test. The longest I hold out to is 9dpo 😂

Figtree11 · 27/09/2024 08:13

@Mummysparrow I’m in Greece. Where are you going to? I hope ovulation comes soon. I’ve been the opposite, hoping ovulation has happened while I’m away 😆

Superscientist · 27/09/2024 09:29

@Mummysparrow I'm very much an all or nothing person. I'd be testing hourly! 😂

I did take a wander to the shops and got a test. Only cheap supermarket own ones so I'm probably too early to test with them. It was negative I'll be waiting for Monday before using the other one.

I hope the timing gods are smiling down on you both. Next month will be a bit tight for us as my partner is away with work.

Mummysparrow · 27/09/2024 09:35

@Figtree11 oh lovely. I hope you have avoided the bad weather which some of Greece has had. I am going to Turkey. I am sharing the room with my daughter so not going to have much chance to DTD whilst away.

Mummysparrow · 27/09/2024 09:38

@Superscientist 😂 love it. I sometimes use cheapie ones earlier then 10dpo if I have the itch to test (I use ones from Amazon) but I generally I know I won't get a Positive on cheapies before 11dpo so i may use a FRER before then

Figtree11 · 27/09/2024 09:40

@Mummysparrow the weather has been bliss. Hot & sunny everyday luckily for us! Hope you have an amazing time in Turkey.

@Superscientist i’m sorry it was negative, but sounds like it was too early to test, so hopefully better news on Monday

Superscientist · 27/09/2024 09:44

Thanks! I figured it was worth wasting a pack of cheap tests rather than forking out on a frer! I can pop it out my mind for a few days and be patient! I probably would have paid if I was more optimistic about our chances this month. We are reliant on early ovulation as we were too knackered later in the week!

Ladyinpink1 · 28/09/2024 07:56

@Mummysparrow Thank you, that sounds really good, could you send me the code please? How have you been? A holiday in the sun sounds lovely! x

@Babydust99 Just catching up on the messages, I am so sorry, it's awful getting a false positive... I had one a few months back on a first response and it was awful. How are you feeling now? x

@Figtree11 Sounds like you have a good chance this month being away and nice and relaxed in the sun. Very jealous of all if the sunny holidays 😎 x

I hadn't been tracking and it's been much more relaxing... well as relaxing as ttc can be lol. But I found 2 opk tests left so took one yesterday (when I would normally get my positive opk and ovulate) but it was negative and took the other today, also negative. I have stopped most of my supplements, so maybe that big change has messed up ovulation. Or maybe I ovulated even earlier like on cd11.
We have an event tonight, getting hair and makeup, all dressed up and staying over in the hotel after so that will be nice for a change.

How is everyone else getting on? x

I'm doing ok. Going to give this month our best shot and then the testing will be a few days after af is due so at least we'll know what the story is a week after that

Joleyjojo · 28/09/2024 15:31

I am 7dpo and trying to stay positive. I have said to myself if we do get a BFP that would be amazing. If AF comes it’s also amazing and my body is regulating after MC. Fingers crossed for everyone xx

Superscientist · 28/09/2024 17:57

I'm definitely a bit hormonal - I started tearing up last night reading Thomas the tank engine as some of the passengers might not make it home for Christmas day (spoiler alert they did).
Hopefully it will mean that in the next few days I get an answer one way or the other.

@Babydust99 and @Joleyjojo sounds like positive outlooks to have. Hoping for the best for both of you!

Mummysparrow · 28/09/2024 18:17

@Ladyinpink1 see if this code still works NWLAEKVif not let me know as I have another one. It is pricey but the reviews are amazing 🤩
@Superscientist hopefully your BFP comes in the next few days

worldwidetravel2017 · 29/09/2024 00:09

Hey all

I have my private tube flush very soon

( with foam - rather than dye )

Nervous
But its a step forward

Figtree11 · 29/09/2024 15:48

@Ladyinpink1 i find not tracking a lot less stressful, but then it can be frustrating! I am CD22 and don’t know if I have ovulated, or if it’s still to come in the next 10-15 days. I hope you enjoyed the event you went to last night

@Joleyjojo i hope it’s a positive month for you. But I like that idea of a positive mindset regardless

How are you getting on @Superscientist have you done another test this weekend?

@worldwidetravel2017 good luck with the tube flush

Ncl31 · 29/09/2024 19:00

@Figtree11 ive not done any OPKs this cycle.
move been wearing my OvuSense nightly though.
this is my first cycle without medication for a while.
I have a big dip in temp this morning and then had a big glob of EWCM this afternoon. When I’ve looked back on my charts it’s often how it is the day before ovulation so hopefully im successful without medication.

Figtree11 · 29/09/2024 19:29

@Ncl31 that sounds a lot easier than having to do regular ovulation tests. Fingers crossed ovulation is close for you 🤞🏻

So I’m back from holiday & starting the ovulation tests. They are all really low. But now I’m wondering if there is any point, as I’m CD22. But last month I ovulated around CD40, so maybe I should do the tests so I can pinpoint when it will be. Just feels a hard slog testing for so many days!

Superscientist · 29/09/2024 20:52

@Figtree11 I had another negative test this morning. I thought my period was meant to be tomorrow but it's actually Tuesday. I'm in the office tomorrow and I think I might pop into the boots in the station.

Figtree11 · 29/09/2024 21:21

Sorry it was negative @Superscientist but hopefully it’s just too early & you’ll get a BFP soon

Ncl31 · 30/09/2024 08:04

@Superscientist finegrs crossed you get your BFP.
@Figtree11 i used to have cycles that were 100days long, it’s soul destroying looking for positive OPK

Superscientist · 30/09/2024 09:22

I got another test. My period started during the 3 minute wait. Unsurprisingly negative. Maybe next month!

Ncl31 · 30/09/2024 09:38

Superscientist · 30/09/2024 09:22

Oh no. How frustrating. I’m so sorry.

Figtree11 · 30/09/2024 09:39

@Ncl31 i’m sorry you’ve experienced similar, soul destroying is definitely the word to describe it. Feeling very frustrated with it

@Superscientist oh i am so sorry AF has arrived 😔 it’s really gutting

Mummysparrow · 02/10/2024 12:11

@Superscientist really sorry to hear that your period has started.
I am cd12 and had loads of ewcm yesterday and today so I am expecting a LH peak tomorrow. It means that I should ovulate a whole 8 days earlier then last month. Who knows if it is due to the vitamins or not but I believe that they must have helped. Which means I should have a 28 or 29 cycle which will be amazing after last cycle being 36 days.

Figtree11 · 02/10/2024 18:17

@Mummysparrow that’s great, sounds like things are regulating.

I am CD25 and have been having ewcm most days since CD11. My ovulation tests this week are very low. Didn’t test last week while on holiday, but I doubt ovulation has happened based on the 50 day cycle last month.
Anyone ever experienced this?

Joleyjojo · 02/10/2024 18:42

BFN at 11dpo. Gutted but just want AF here to start again. I hope everyone is holding up ok , I am feeling a bit sad about it today tbh. Sending lots of positive vibes xxxx
