@WingingitlifeI'm so so sorry, I know how heartbreaking it is. Let yourself feel it...we are all here. Yes I tried straight after mine, unfortunately 5 months later still crying. However my chemical was off the back of my 6 week loss and they do say you are more fertile after a miscarriage xx

BabyBorn · 08/08/2025 18:23

So sorry @Wingingitlifeat least you know now and can move on. 🤗 I started trying straight away but didn’t fall pregnant for 3 months after. Be kind to yourself xx

Wingingitlife · 08/08/2025 22:03

Thank you ladies ❤️ xx

Wingingitlife · 11/08/2025 12:11

How is everyone doing? What CD are we all on?

CD 4 for me 🙏🏼 xx

Wishingforfour · 11/08/2025 12:28

How are you feeling @Wingingitlife? I'm on CD1 today.

Has anyone tried baby asprin in their TTC journey? I'm thinking of trying it this month as I've heard so many good things about reducing inflammation (which I have) and helping with implantation.

Kittybway · 11/08/2025 13:03

Hello @Wishingforfour how you're doing ok! I am cd32, 12dpo and hoping to test Wednesday if AF doesn't arrive, ladt cycle was 36 days but the 4 before were all 29 days. Really weird temperature fluctuations yesterday and today but think i slept badly/snored.

I have also heard about baby aspirin! Might look into it next cycle i think, i will also be contacting the gp as technically August will be cycle 6 (we didnt track or anything the first 2) so might get the ball rolling with fertility stuff.

Hope your OK @Wingingitlife how are you feeling?

Wingingitlife · 11/08/2025 13:05

@kittybway@WishingforfourI feel a bit more positive today. Last three days it it me hard and I’ve been randomly bursting into tears. But I also think that maybe it’s the hormones too as I’ve not had a proper period in years. I’ve booked an acupuncture session for next week too so I’m looking forward to that 😊

ive never taken aspirin but I have heard it’s supposed to help if you’ve experienced miscarriages before.

Kittybway · 11/08/2025 15:29

That sounds good @Wingingitlife iv never had acupuncture before! I need some form of stress relief thats not running so might look into it.

Iv been so emotional and had such a big cry last night after I did bedtime for my dd, but feeling better today. My temp dipped so much I was convinced af was coming but it's shot up today again so who knows

Wingingitlife · 11/08/2025 17:09

@Kittybwaybless you! The ups and downs are so hard! Fingers crossed for you that it’s not your af! Are your cycles normally regular? X

BabyBorn · 11/08/2025 18:08

Hi ladies,

hope you are all good and get some positive luck this next month!

@Wingingitlife I hope you are ok! The hormone crash is horrible isn’t it! Glad you’ve booked some acupuncture! I have too! I start this Wednesday! Really looking forward to it!

I am CD18. I ovulated 2 days ago. Trying to up my calories a little for the next two weeks.

BabyBorn · 11/08/2025 18:10

Oh and baby aspirin… who takes it? I might consider this once I’ve seen my GP on Wednesday 🙏

Kittybway · 11/08/2025 19:55

Thanks @Wingingitlife it's so emotional isnt it!

Theyre pretty regular yeh, give or take a day. I ovulated so late this cycle - cd20 I think so prepared for a long one. Iv never bbt before so i couldn't guess how long my luteal phase ever is!

Let me know how acupuncture is @BabyBorn and @Wingingitlife ! Is it for relaxation/stress reliefe or hormonal balance?

BabyBorn · 11/08/2025 20:08

Not that far off from me then @Kittybway my cycles are usually 27/28 days.

The acupuncture is supposed to relieve stress and help blood flow to the uterus and ovaries! We will see! I’m prepared to give most things a shot at the moment! Will let you know how it goes!

Kittybway · 11/08/2025 20:20

Yeh @BabyBorn I'm open to most things, I future what's the harm?

Iv just signed up to yoga so hopefully something for me to help me relax, I feel like I'm always on the go!

BabyBorn · 11/08/2025 20:22

Yes! Exactly!

I do yoga and love it. I actually fell pregnant the first month I started it but it ended up being my latest miscarriage! It really helps focusing on something different and having that distraction. It’s usually when I fall pregnant. Just need to hold onto it this next time!! x

Kittybway · 12/08/2025 21:26

AF arrived this evening for me. My temp dropped today so not totally unexpected. Im feeling ok because I know i ovulated from tracking bbt so more information to use for next month

BabyBorn · 18/08/2025 16:13

Sorry to hear that @Kittybwayhopefully AF has finished now? How is everyone?

Kittybway · 18/08/2025 18:41

I was just thinking of everyone today..we are having a break ttc this month because DP is away the crucial week! So just going to relax a bit and do some thing for me.

Is anyone in the ttw at the moment?

BabyBorn · 18/08/2025 19:53

That’s a good plan! What are you thinking of doing to relax?

I am in TWW. 9DPO!

Kittybway · 18/08/2025 21:42

@BabyBorn my parents are visiting so lots of chilling out with them, lunch out snd some time off work!

How are you feeling? Will you test or wait for your period to be due?

BabyBorn · 19/08/2025 07:15

That sounds like bliss @Kittybway Hope you enjoy it and the weather should be lovely for it too!

I got a BFP this morning!!! I tested yesterday and thought I saw the faintest of shadows but I really wasn’t sure and it drove me crazy. Tested around half an hour ago and it’s much more clear and I didn’t have to squint!

Obviously going to have to try and stay positive, but it will prove difficult having had one chemical and 2 miscarriages in the space of 13 months. 😬 x

Wingingitlife · 19/08/2025 08:45

@BabyBornCongratulations! 🙏🏼 ❤️

@Kittybwaythe month of sounds like a good plan. It will probably be a nice little reset 😊

im CD12 and waiting patiently for ovulation. I have my acupuncture today so looking forward to that!

Kittybway · 19/08/2025 14:33

Congratulations @BabyBorn !! Amazing news im thinking positive sticky thoughts form you.

Hope acupuncture goes well @Wingingitlife

I know that I'll likely ovulate when DP is away but a tiny part of my hopes I might be late or early and we will have a shot! It's so hard to not think/hope about it!

BabyBorn · 19/08/2025 16:37

Thanks a lot @Wingingitlifeand @KittybwayI need some extra sticky glue this time!!

Hopefully we see a few more BFPs soon!! xx

rolo3000 · 19/08/2025 17:26

a week until my ovulation as have 35 day cycles!
