TTC after loss - 4 days before ovulation

[AB12393]

Hi All

My partner and I started trying to conceive again in January after a break following our 5th pregnancy loss in August.

We have been lucky in the past where 4/5 pregnancies we conceived first month of trying, so we were disheartened we didn’t conceive in January. We have new medication waiting for when next pregnant, so desperate to find out if that will be our solution finally.

This cycle we have only managed to have sex 4 days before ovulation. We had sex Friday evening and I got a positive ovulation, cramps & lots of EWCM on Monday morning. The test was still positive again this morning (although slightly lighter) and light cramps so I’m thinking today would be my actual ovulation.

I don’t want to get my hopes up but I’d like to hear peoples thoughts on whether pregnancy is still possible, or if anyone has any similar experiences?

Hi OP.

I am so sorry for your losses.

I have read, that your body can gear up to ovulate and then it not happen at that time so it gears up again and ovulates later in your cycle.

I would DTD again today to make sure you have covered your bases in case you ovulated a little later than Monday and are still in time :)

Hang in there x

Thank you for your message, that’s really helpful to know :)

Hopefully we can DTD this evening to cover all bases except my partner has been experiencing performance anxiety this cycle, it’s never happened before and I think it is stress related with everything that’s been going on. I think we will be out this month but thank you for replying to me x

We get the performance anxiety too! I bought a home insemination kit which has helped us overcome it because the pressure is off!

There are a few threads on it here, I just used their recommendations and did it!

But mortifying at first, but 12 months in you just have to get on with it!

Def try tonight :)

Ah great, that sounds like will definitely take some pressure off. Would you mind sharing where you purchased your kit from?

I think it definitely gets to a point where nothing is off the table - we’ll try anything!! Wishing you lots of luck & I really do appreciate your advice x

lol I know I agree!

I literally just put "home insemination" into Amazon and bought the cheapest syringes and cups!

There are some more expensive sets you can buy, but on the threads I read it had worked for people who had used a calpol syringe and yog pot! I don't think you need to fancy sets.

Just an update on this thread: I suprisingly got my BFP yesterday. Hoping this baby sticks 🤞🏻🤞🏻
