Advice about OPK and temping? Please.

[Vicky_92]

I lost my little bean just over a week ago 😥 which was obviously devastating. I'm really keen on TTC my rainbow baby. My bleeding has pretty much stopped, (just brown spotting, very little tho) sorry for TMI.

It took me and my partner over 6 months to convince I had the coil out in February. This time I want to try using OPKs and temping. I was told by my doctor I could start trying straight away after the bleeding has stopped. But my question is when should I start temping and OPKs?

Thank you ladies. And I'm sorry for each and everyone of your losses

Hi Vicky! Sorry for your pain and suffering. I am still going through my pain with my natural MC 4 weeks ago.

I conceived my first time charting BBT. I started temping on CD1 all the way through my 2ww until I got my BFP. I havent used OPKs only because I feel myself ovulate and watch closely for CM signs. I also use FF which will let you knows based on your temp if you have ovulated or not. I also use My Cycles Period and Ovulation app which had a lot more cycles tracked than when I started using FF.

I would say use an app to help track your cycles so you know your predicted fertile days and use a BBT thermometer starting on CD1.

BTW I just got my first AF after my MC yesterday (28 days after my MC) so it may be some time until your body realizes its no longer pregnant

Best wishes in TTC and I pray you have a sticky bean next time!

Thank you so much for you detailed reply, I appreciate it. I am so sorry for your loss I was using ovia, my AF has been all over the place since I had my mirena removed in February. So it's hard track. 28 days? I'm so impatient lol. Thank you so much I really hope you get your rainbow baby

I know just last week I was like is AF ever going to show up? And then she did yesterday. I had a lot of mixed feelings..glad my body was working normal then sad knowing that I just shed an egg and there is nothing growing inside of me

But yes hopefully we will both get our sticky beans soon. I am hoping to try after 3 cycles. Since my cycles are usually 26 days I am going to have another cycle at the end of the month so hopefully I can try again in November

Sorry ladies for your losses

Im currently 17 days after MMC and im waiting patiently for AF. I have been having unprotected sex since 5 days after, im sorry but im beyond ready to start over and if it happens it was meant to be at this point. if it doesn't back to clear blue digital and femara. I never stopped my prenatals and take Metformin 500mg to jump start.

hope for our rainbow babies ladies fx for all and keep us updated

 

[Vicky_92]

Loved- thank you again for your posts. I never really thought about how I will feel when AF shows, I'm just keen on TTC again and I have a feeling it is going to take ages again. I am keeping my FX for you

Iloveme- I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope AF shows soon. I am the same I haven't stopped taking my pre-natals either. What's metformin? Sorry for being clueless
Xx

Metformin is a medication used for ppl with diabetes, it is also used for ppl with PCOS (which I have) it helps your cycles become regular, helps you ovulate on time and it makes you highly fertile. I got pregnant my first month on it. you can Google it for extensive details. just know you don't have to have diabetes or PCOS in order to use it, it is now used for fertility reasons and have really good success rates.

Aw right thank you very much for answering that. Do you have to get it off a doctor?

yes, do you have PCOS? I know some RE or OB can be resistant to certain things, I don't have any cysts or have diabetes but my RE says to take it to help my hormones stay stable. try lowest dosage if u can get it. best of luck to you and plz keep me posted as I will do the same

 

[Vicky_92]

No I don't fortunately. Think something is going on with my hormones today, I have felt ok (well not crying) the past couple of days. But I feel now like my heads about to explode I want to be pregnant again, and I want it now! I've been keen to start TTCing again and I did accept it will obviously take a while but today I just feel like I can't wait. I know I'm probably making no sense.
I will keep you posted, rainbow buddies? 😜

Its perfectly normal to feel how u feel, I still cry at times I feel so overwhelmed I just want the feeling back and baby in my arms, its ok to cry. I just keep telling myself everything happens for a reason leave it up to god and everything will be ok.

and yes I will be more than happy to buddy with you if u ever need to vent or ask questions im here because im going through the exact same thing.

 

[Vicky_92]

Thank you! I'm definitely on a roller coaster of emotions. It's just from going from that complete high- 'I'm pregnant' after trying so hard and failing every month and it hit me hard every month.... And then to find out I lost my little bean even though i was doing everything right! And knowing I have friends who have smoked thoughtout their pregnancies and drank, and even know of a girl who took cannabis while pregnant and they all have healthy babies and I'm here trying and trying every month and finally getting my BFP and then to have to all taken away. Just is boiling my blood today! I really don't mean to play the 'poor pity me' card, because I am lucky, I've a seven year old beautiful, healthy, smart boy tucked up in bed. I read your sig and you have to much harder than me, and I want to say I have so much respect for you, that you haven't give up and I see how much of a strong woman you are! You really deserve, happy and healthy pregnancy and a beautiful rainbow baby.
I wish i had the same feelings you 'about everything happens for a reason' I wish I looked at life that way, but I don't. Which I find hard.

Sorry for the rant, I really do think I'm having a hormone crash or something today. I've been really strong and have been thinking it could of been worse, and how lucky I am that I have a son, and people have it worse etc, but today I'm just feeling sorry for myself.

 

[ILoveme29]

yes everyone takes it differently, but I don't think there is any wrong way to feel about it it is the most hardest thing to go through, and omg! the ppl around you with belly's and kids. Im just glad I did get pregnant my first try im just hoping sooner than later I get another. I refuse to give up some women been through much worse so im just thankful.

 

[Vicky_92]

None of these people I mentioned are my close friends, just old friends from school and work etc lol.
