Anyone else now trying again STRAIGHT after a mc? NTNP?

[Glowstar]

Thanks Clo!!! I had a bit of hard time reading my cervix as one side of it feels a bit swollen, prob from being manually dilated for the D&C. I'm also used to a much sharper climb after Ovulation, this was more of a slow climb.
Thanks for looking, it's really helpful when someone else takes a look...fresh unbiased eyes etc
Also I am not sure if my boobs have completely recovered from being preg, so I'm not taking that as a 'sign' as my nipples are really veiny at the moment...can't really remember if that went away and has come back again or they kind of stayed like that
Will go and have a gander at your chart

I agree with CD21. You've just got a slow rise. Hopefully your temps stay night and high

 

[Glowstar]

Hi Glow

I agree that you definitely ovulated cd 21 ... brilliant news!! And you got in 3 in your fertile window too!! Tender breasts are a good sign too, i get sore nips after ovulation!!

Yep it will be because it takes the average of the 6 previous temps and then you need 3 temps higher than that to show ovulation, remember FF is just a computer after all. Keep temping, hopefully they will soar high for you!!

Just had a look at your chart...too early to say but will keep looking....hopefully your cycle will be back on track. Are you back on Clomid again?

 

[ickle pand]

The sore boobs and temp rise are caused by the increase in progesterone, which happens after the egg is released so it's definitely a good sign glowstar!

AFM - I'm just waiting for O. My ovaries feel like balloons that are away to burst! Hopefully something happens soon. My OPK was slightly darker today than yesterday but still nowhere near dark enough. It's still very early days though.

 

[Glowstar]

Just wondered if any of you ladies have used Instead Cups/Soft Cups. I used them last cycle....was our 8th Cycle TTC and I got my BFP first time using them, so I have got them ready again for next cycle...that and the Conceive Plus...seemed to be a winning combo...or maybe just pure luck. Also me and OH started taking Maca Root 500mg daily a few weeks before got BFP so not sure if that was a factor too we're both taking it again.
It's so bloody hard because you feel you need to replicate what got you the BFP last time....anyone else feel like that
Also we had been doing it 'doggy' style as read that was a better position to get the sperm up near the cervix....BFP cycle was the ONLY cycle we finished missionary every time

 

[Clobo]

Hiya

Yep i think things are all out of whack after a mc so nothing can be predicted! Just keep with it and see what happens!! Yep i stare at my chart all the time so kind of lose sight of it sometimes!!

My boobs stayed veiny for ages too

Yep on the clomid now so on my way to some super eggys hopefully!!

We need another BFP!! xxx

 

[Glowstar]

Awww good luck Clo!!! I'm 40 1/2 so my eggs are pretty crap probably hence 8 months TTC and a MC Just hoping we can catch a good egg this time and it's not going to take as long That prob makes me sound flippant to all the LTTC....but time is ticking like a frickin time bomb in my head

I stare at my chart too like it's going to tell me something (NOT!!) it's like a mini adventure everyday putting that temp in

 

[Clobo]

Ha ha i agree, my tempt today was way high but thats cos i slept in PJs, socks and with my dressing gown on top the bed for some reason!!

Aw, mate it must be hard to be TTC later in life but I have loads of friends who had their babies at 40+ .... it might just take a longer time than normal but you will get there ... at what point would you go to the doctors for help?? I wonder whether they would prescribe something like clomid to help with your eggs??

Hopefully you wont need it, make sure you do all the things that can help, diet, exercise, multivits etc etc and lots and lots of and then you are doing everything in your control!! You'll soon be announcing your BFP!!

 

[Mrs_C_Taylor]

hi there just to say that i also have had a loss and i want to start sraight away so we have now just waiting to see what happens.
x

 

[Glowstar]

Welcome mrs Taylor , sorry for your loss xx

Clo, I have 2 daughters 16 & 13 conceived in my twenties first time trying for both! So anything over a month seems like a long time lol!! Already been told I don't qualify for any help as over 40 although I did have my cd21 tests done and progesterone was good. I'll just have to be patient and time it right!

 

[LolaAnn]

your chart def looks like ov on CD 21 x

welcome mrs c taylor and so sorry for your loss
clobo whats the story with honey?? ohh my jaw... it's really messed up to the point I'll prob need surgery... just cos I had some bad orthodontics as a teen oh well.. nice new teeth at some point!
firsttimer yay about your digi babe!!! tht's awesome

 

[Glowstar]

Sorry about your teeth Lola. I have had a nightmare since D&C. I actually lost a filling a week after, at the side and yesterday I bit into an Apple and the exact same tooth on the other side FELL OUT!!!
I'm gutted and sure it's been caused when they put that thing down your throat and in your mouth for theatre :-/
Emergency dentist yesterday, I'll now need a bridge to fix it £800!!! Got to wait 6 months so hoping I will be preg so I won't have to pay for it!!

 

[Clobo]

Hiya

Glow, OMG about your teeth, yes time it right and yuo can have it done for FREE!! I cant believe they wont help you after 40, surely thats when lots of ladies need it the most?? Will they not even refer you to a specialist for clomid etc ... ie all the things they do before yuo even think about IVF etc?? Well, you know it can happen, you have good progesterone and what seem like fairly normal cycles so yep just keep at it and it will happen!!

Lola, oh dear thats awful about your teeth, I had a brace a few years ago and its amazing how strong the things are its no wonder they can cause some damage. I really hope you get it sorted out chick. As for the Honey, its got healing and antibacterial qualities and I love the stuff so im having some on my toast for breakfats every day, think its better if you have proper manuka honey but thats too expensive!! Thought i may as well give it a go .... ill try pretty much anything!!

Hi Mrs Taylor, so sorry for your loss, yes join us all in trying again, we've already had one BFP so we need some more!!

 

[firsttimer1]

Glowstar - chin up hun, you WILL get the BFP and stiky bean

Do u think sex positions really make a difference then? I had read about it but dudnt put much weight behind it. Im pretty sure both times i got my BFP it was from missionary. Maybe there is truth in it though? and also not going to the toilet straight after etc HEHEHE

Lolaann - so sorry about your jaw, sounds painful!

Mrs C Taylor - You will find lots of support here, so if you want to talk to people who've been there, we are here xxxx

Cloey - are u still having sets of acupuncture? xxx If so how is it going? ps. Yep - im very naughty

How is everyone today? I feel fine today, as if nothing is happening! Seeing the new Harry Potter tonight, cant wait! (childish i know LOL) xxx

 

[ickle pand]

I'm always a bit sad when someone else joins us, because I know how they're feeling. But, I'm glad we're all here to support each other.

Glowstar - different people recommend different positions but everyone agrees that making sure you both "finish" is important because the action helps the spermies to get where they need to go. I also try to make sure I don't get up for at least 5 mins after doing the baby dance lol, although some people say to wait for 20mins, but I can't stand it for too long and have to clean up lol.

I stare at my chart and do the chart overlay thing with other charts. Before O I do the thing were you can pin a chart at different days so I move it backwards and forwards and try to get it to match up with a previous chart so I can "predict" when I'm going to O lol! After O I do compare it to other charts and see how many other people got pregnant with the same temps as me. God that makes me sound obsessed!!

AFM - my ovaries seem to have calmed down today, no pressure or feeling like they're both away to pop. Hopefully that means a dominant follicle has taken over and is growing nicely.

 

[Mrs_C_Taylor]

Aww thanx that means alot to me x

 

[firsttimer1]

yes its horrible with each new name. although we start to feel better we never forget the rawness of a mc, and we always remember that even if we get pregnant again, it wont be with THAT baby. Every now and again i remember randomly and the pain is terrible. I really admire those who have been through it (esp a few times) but keep trying for that sticky bean.

i have such a good feeling for the ladies on this thread though - i really do. Cant wait for some more BFP announcements... i just KNOW some are on their way!!!

 

[Glowstar]

No one wants to find themselves here or the mc section but after all we have been through it's nice be among like minded people, we all have a common bond. It's nice to be able to start the ttc again journey here. Xx

 

[TTCMetalMom]

Hi, sadly, I'm here. I've gotten pregnant twice in 15 months and sadly lost both...they were my exes children and now we've split. I found out 2 months into my new relationship that I was miscarrying :/

We're now not using precaution at all (my new fella) but I'm really scared that it'll happen again, I've still not cried over the last one which was almost a month ago and I feel abnormal because I haven't mourned. I told my ex but he hasn't got back in contact, even worse is....the woman he cheated on me for is now 2 months pregnant.

 

[mrsmax]

Glow and Ickle - I stare at my chart all the time. Exactly like you said - waiting for it to tell me something!! As if staring at it will somehow make the pregnancy happen. I upgraded on FF recently to full member and now spend hours comparing my chart to others and working out what chance I haev of a BFP. God, I envy women who get pregnant straight away with no trouble and dont even know what charting or instead cups are. Sigh.

Glow - I bought instead cups about 5 cycles ago, but havent got the guts to use them yet. It just seems too weird, but if BFP fails to show the next couple of months I might give them a try.

I also am trying to replicate my BFP cycle - but I was on hols for the TWW so can't afford to just go lie on a beach this cycle

Welcome newbies - sorry for your losses, but hopefully anouther BFP soon and a good sticky one.

Here's hoping x
