Hi, I've just started TTC again after miscarrying. So technically I'm waiting to test - bust I don't know when that will be exactly

Looking forward to sharing the symptom spotting with someone.

Hi there. I've been TTC2 for 5 months. AF due in about two days' time. I've got a very short luteal phase, so I'm not all that optimistic, though this is the first month I've tried taking B6, which is supposed to help, so who knows? Just been to the doctor this morning for a progesterone test, to check that everything's working ok.

Very sorry to hear about your loss, and best of luck for this month. Are you TTC1, or do you already have any other DC? As for symptom spotting, I've got nothing so far; but then when I was pg with DS I had absolutely no symptoms at all, to the extent that when I went for my 12 week scan I felt sure they'd tell me the tests were wrong and that I wasn't really pregnant.

Kaylo · 02/10/2009 16:20

Hi ElusiveMoose How are you?

We are TTC#3 - we already have dd age 4 and ds age 3.

Lucky you at not having any sickness or anything!! I've had it with all 3 of my pregnancies - I mc at 6 weeks so with that one it wasn't as bad but definitely there.

Ooooh, I soo hope I can be pg again soon. And you.
And anyone else who joins.

We've literally only started TTC again in the last couple of days - mc was confirmed/completed on Friday so thinking it will prob be a 4ww for me never mind. it'll be worth it.....I'm sure of it!!!

Aww, Kaylo! I'm so sorry to hear you MC'd.

I'm in much the same situation this month after my MC - with a wait of an indeterminable time. My temps are all over the place so I have no idea when/if I've ovulated!

I've been making sure to DTD regularly, keeping up a good pace of every other day so far, so I guess I stand a chance. Poor DH... No break for him until my temps go up and stay up or AF gets me!!

Hopefully this will be the lucky month for all of us.

Ladyemmalou83 · 02/10/2009 18:36

Kaylo sorry to hear about your MC. Im in the same boat, im now on my 2ww from my M/C 3 weeks ago, I also Mc at 6 weeks. Elusive Im taking B6 too, plus half an aspirin everyday. A friend who is a former midwife recommended them both to me.

I think I have ovulated this month, and I know there has been enough BD to last a lifetime. So Im really hoping this month is the month....who knows?

Back to symptom spotting then?

Heavy boobs
Upset stomach
Tiredness (although, actually im always tired)

Baby dust to everyone

Hi everyone, sorry was absent a while - I have a pre-menstrual laptop - I swear its more temperamental than I am!!!

Hey Spirael Hope you're well! Can't believe we both had to leave the same thread But onwards and upwards. We, like you, have been at it like rabbits to make sure we catch the sporadic fertility boost that sometimes affects women after mc.

Ladyemmalou Welcome to the thread, I'm also sorry to hear of your mc, symptoms sounding good.

I have no idea when I'll need to symptom spot, or test. OPK's aren't meant to be very useful after mc so I've counted them out. Thinking maybe I'll test in 2 weeks initially, then 2 weeks after to make sure.

Love and sticky-babydust to everyone xxx

no one talking?

OP posts:
Spirael · 08/10/2009 08:42

Nothing to report, here. Absolutely no symptoms... But then I had no symptoms before the BFP last time, so maybe no symptoms is actually a symptom??

Either way, I'm holding out until at least the weekend after next before testing. That gives it a normal cycle length since the start of the MC and a few extra days for AF to show up late.

Anyone else got anything to report?

waspylady · 08/10/2009 10:20

Hi everyone

I had mc in sept and think I ov'd yesterday....we've also be trying the every other day plan so fingers crossed.......just another 2 weeks to wait!

Ladyemmalou83 · 08/10/2009 10:37

Good luck Wasp

Kaylo · 08/10/2009 23:07

Spirael Hiiiii [waves like a maniac]

Wasp about the mc, heres hoping we'll be up the duff again in no time .

QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MISCARRIED.
When did you start your CD1 at? I've been told to do it from 1st day of bleeding making me cd17 today. My UCL is 29 days so I'll be testing around 20th Oct. Ideally I'd like to wait right til Nov to test but I'm pretty sure my patience won't stretch that far.

Hope everyones well and feeling confident.

Hi Kaylo

My m/c started on 16th Sept (although was a mmc so had been diagnosed 3 weeks before) but I know that I ovulated this week on Wed which is 21 days later.

Normally my UCL is 28 days but I think this one will be 35 because of the extra week at the beginning.

So I'd be testing two weeks from ovulation....which will be in about 12 days!!

Hope that makes sense......

Spirael · 09/10/2009 10:37

Hiya all! [waves enthusiastically back at Kaylo]

I started counting from the first day of proper bleeding during my MC, which puts me on around day 23 currently. I spotted for a few days before that, but I didn't count them.

My earthquake zone temperature charts seem to have finally levelled out over this week, and from analysing them I think I might have ovulated last Friday, on what would have been day 16. A couple of days later than normal, but nothing catastrophic. DH and I DTD the day before and after, so I might have a chance if it did actually happen!

However, temps are still a touch low for this period in my cycle. Though they are slowly climbing, which is encouraging. They still have another .3C to go before they get to the temperature I got my BFP at.

Nothing much in the way of symptoms yet, just a few twinges here and there, breast tenderness that may well be in my imagination and a weird taste in my mouth that might just be the sweetener in my lemon squash. However, if things go anything like my BFP last month then I should get period type pains most of the day tomorrow, which'll hopefully be a successful implantation. I never thought I'd have my fingers crossed for cramps!

If the cramps do materialise, and I start getting a few more reliable sounding symptoms, then I might crack and test next Wednesday - which'd be the day I'd be expecting AF on a normal cycle. If nothing happens at all, I'll probably try and hold out until the weekend after this one.

Sounds like there could be a few of us testing towards the end of next week. Hoping for some nice sticky BFPs this time!

Kaylo · 11/10/2009 10:04

here here to sticky BFP's!

Heres hoping guys

wasplady That made perfect sense Thank you.! So if I'm to be like you I may not have ovulated yet, potentially could be tomorrow which would be cd21. Well, no rest for dh just yet then

My dh us getting very excited at the prospect of me /getting/being pregnant again. He doesn't mind. He sent me a random text this morning saying "When do we get to find out if you're pregnant?" Told him 3 weeks I'm not exactly lying but I want to make sure I don't get his hopes up too far thinking we could potentially find out next week.

I'm gonna try really hard to not test until as late as possible. Was thinking of waiting until 6 weeks has passed since mc cos thats when they told me AF should have returned by - seems like the only thing I can time my cycle by. So going by that, 6 weeks will take me to 2nd November - so thats only just passed 20th October...

Spirael I'm loving your symptom spotting - I have zippo symptoms!! But may not even have ov'd so hey ho. I'll feed my addiction to symptom spotting with reading about yours

Have a good Sunday everyone

dh bought guitar heroes yesterday so am practising on that so I can beat him later

Hi everyone. Hope ur all having alovely weekend.

I started counting from the 1st day of bleeding, which now makes me day 30 (I think). Im really conused at the moment. I never spot whilst waiting for AF, however today I am, and also have tender boobs which is a big first too. I am desperatly trying not to read into it too much buts so hard when AF is due in 4 days.

DH and I have agreed no testing till next friday then I am officially late if AF hasnt shown up.

chico193 · 11/10/2009 21:20

Can I join this one as well?

Am on CD23 with a UCL of 36 days. Have sore boobs already which is unusual as I usually get them for a few days just before AF. Possible I am having a shorter cycle this month I guess in which case it is not my turn this month - missed out on dtd until Weds last week which is ok for normal cycle length but too late if 28 day cycle which I had last month. Thought I had EWCM yesterday so really don't know, hate all this uncertainty ...

Kaylo · 12/10/2009 16:26

Hiya chico Welcome to the thread. Hope it's a lucky one for you

Not much to update from me really, I have really sharp stabby pains in my chest today, more towards the right. I've heard this can be a symptom of pregnancy so am quietly hoping thats what it is, have just been on NHS Direct website and it's told me I should call 999 and ring an ambulance immediately

Erm...no. But I will see how it goes today, I finish work at 9pm so if it still hurts by then I might go to A&E, maybe.

Hope everyone is well, I'm cd21 today and normally AF would be due in 8 days so fingers crossed. May test next week depending on symptoms.

Hello all,

I'm waiting and waiting and waiting... Isn't it funny when you're doing something enjoyable, the time just slips by and when it's something tedious every day seems to take an eternity?? If AF hasn't shown up by the 9th, I'll be testing. Anyone else around that time?

lucybrad · 31/10/2009 10:48

me, jumblequeen should be testing round then. But then I think I only just Ovd judging by CM. So not sure what is happening. Plenty of BDing going on though so fingers crossed

jumblequeen · 31/10/2009 10:52

Fingers and toes crossed (though not legs...)!

nattiecake · 31/10/2009 17:23
