After mc in feb, im ready to try again!!

[Erinsmummy]

Hi josie, welcome, but sorry you have to be here too! Good luck! I really do want to wait as long as possible to test, but think after i know af is due that will be hard! As like you said emmy, its a long time before we can relax at all! If you get a bfp at 4 weeks it will just go so slow, i know im not going to enjoy being pregnant at all for the first 12 weeks or so, ill just be thinking the same will happen again.

Josie did you get a positive OPK all days in between 12 and 16? If not I would say your body was trying to ovulate on CD 12 but do to stress or just not the right time your body waited and attempted again on the 16th and I would say your "O" day was CD 17. I always get 3 + OPKs in a row which was CD 24,25, and 26th for me this time. I am guessing I O'd on the 25th since that is when I had the worst pains. The last one was not as dark and did not have as much pain. I am now 6 DPO.

i tested cd12 and cd13 with positive opk but stopped testing after that until cd 16 as i had a pain on my side

 

[Josie1999]

this is so annoying that i could be not ovulating when my fertility monitor and cb ovulation sticks tell me i am in 12 to 48 hrs. when my dh and I first decided to try we got pregnant in our first month ttc and i wasnt stressing at all, now all i do is think about this stuff!

You are not alone with that Josie. I have been consumed with it for 16 months now. I have said many times I was going to relax and not think about it or take a break from it all. It didn't work. The only time I don't think about it is when I have some other BIG event going on. Example a big vacation or birthday parties. I love to throw big parties and go all out on planning them. I have my hubbys in June and LO is in July so if it doesn't happen this month I will have those to plan and try and keep my mind occupied. Are you seeing a specialist or being monitored? What has your doctor said about you ovulating? Is this the first time you got that long of a stretch for positive OPKs?

 

[Josie1999]

This was the first time my cycle was not 28 days and my first cycle since M/C. i haven't gone to the doctor yet to be monitored as its only been 1 month after i have been ttc. I am going to go to doctor if this reoccurs again this next time after AF. if i have delayed ov again i am certainly going to go to the doctor but i wonder if he is going to think i am crazy as i hear doctors dont want to take you serious until after you have been trying for a year.

 

[angelria]

I think it depends on the doctor. I have a wonderful doctor that at 6 mo wanted to put me on Clomid due to having irregular perioods. Mine were all over the place. I knew I was ovulating. If you are getting OPKs that are whacky and showing that you are possibly not ovulating then they need to do some kind of exam to find out why or see if they are willing to allow you to try the Clomid to assist your body in ovulation. Women with PCOS who don't ovulate use it. Good Luck. I hope that you fall pergnant this time and there is no need to see the doctor.

Josie, think we all find it hard to relax with ttc! My best friend has 3 kids, she didnt have to try with any of them, she came off pill all 3 times and was pregnant within a month! She says she would like to ttc as it sounds fun, she didnt hear that from me lol.

Im on cd 20 now, i started af this time the last 2 afs, so was expecting it today, but maybe my cycles are going back to normal now.

 

[angelria]

Erinsmummy did you take a HPT? Do you have an symptoms that AF is on its way?

 

[Erinsmummy]

No i dont have any tests, which is probably a good thing as i'd have tested loads already otherwise. I dont feel like af is on its way. My cycles before mc were short anyway, usually between 23 and 26 days, i have only ever had one cycle as long as 28 days! OH is getting excited now, wish he wouldnt cos if af arrives i hate telling him, he is always more upset than i am!

Hi ladies, sorry for your losses, I too had a mmc and erpc in Feb, I hope you don't mind me joining in.

We started trying again straight away, trying to be relaxed and just bd'ing frequently and seeing what happens, but am getting less relaxed about the whole thing and have now just received opk's I ordered to see if I am actually ovulating or not as I have had what seems to be another period mid cycle?

 

[Josie1999]

i hope af doesnt come for you!

 

[Josie1999]

Hi Mrs Duck! we also tried right away and i was so stressed about it with fertility monitors and opks that i think my body geared up to O and didnt probably due to stress. the opks are great as they tell you when your LH is present and that you MAY ovulate in 12 to 48 hrs, but unfortuntely does not tell you if you if actually ovulated, onlt temping does that!

 

[MrsDuck]

Hi Josie,

I just don't know if I am in the 2ww with you and on cd19 or if my bleed was an early AF coz I didn't ovulate and so now maybe I'm back at cd7?

At least if I opk either I will get a positive one eventually, AF and I can start fresh, or else fingers crossed a BFP.

I didn't realise there was so much involved when ttc.

 

[Josie1999]

i am cd 25 and my fertility monitor is flashing "m" which means that my period should be approaching, i wanted to throw it at the wall as it has a flaw and once it detects the lh surge is tell you but then tells you to stop testing so if you have delayed ov it doesnt catch it!

Mrs. Duck, when did you get your mid cycle bleed? how long did it last?

 

[MrsDuck]

Josie you poor thing how frustrating, hopefully you ovulated and have caught your eggy.

I bled on cd 13 -17, not much on pad/liner just when wiped there seemed to be a fair bit (sorry tmi). I thought ovulation bleeding but it went on for too long?

 

[Erinsmummy]

Hi mrsduck, im frightened of ducks!! Have a great big fear of them, your pic of one is freaking me out lol! Sorry for your loss, my dr said after a mc it is normal to stop bleeding, to think its all over, for it to start up again, my cycles have been really odd since the mc, hoping its back to normal for me!

 

[Josie1999]

Mrs. Duck, when my first period came i bleed cd1, cd2 and stopped on cd 3, 4 and 5 and came back cd 6! it was frustrating buy my opk was positive on cd 12 and cd 13....

 

[MrsDuck]

Hi Erinsmummy, I love ducks, sorry my pic is freaking you out, I bought this duck for my husband to help him sleep as it is filled with lavender scented beans.

Glad to hear random bleeding is normal after mc hopefully I did ovulate then, but will keep testing just in case.

Fingers crossed for normal cycles asap for us all, or better still bfp's.

 

[Josie1999]

hi girls,

after your m/c, did you have pains near or around your ovaries similar to Mittelschmerz pain.....i had it last month not only around ovulation time but also the week of my period, which never happened before
