Anyone using cbfm/opks after m/c?

[marshdaily]

After my miscarriage my ovulation kit showed that I was ovulating for five days in a row!!! Has anyone else had this problem?! I was only five weeks when I miscarried

 

[Narla83]

Marshdaily: Hey ya hun, sorry to hear about your loss. How long after m/c where you doing the opks? I havent had this happen myself so Im not sure why this would happen only thing I can think of is if your homones where still a bit everywhere.

 

[marshdaily]

About two weeks later. Maybe I had a few bum OPK. The miscarriage was so early that the Doctor said there was nothing to worry about if we wanted to try again...

hmm..i'm having a similar experience, early M/C started 8/04;heaviest bleeding started about a week later and now two weeks later, today i got a peak reading on my CBFM as well as strong OV pains last night...i'm really confused because i'm also still spotting (Sorry TMI - brownish cm). not sure if its safe to BD, given the spotting? anyone experience this? is it possible to OV while MC bleeding is tapering off/spotting or could it just be residual pregnancy hormones giving a false positive on the CBFM?

marshdaily - i just read someone's BFP announcement in that section - she said she ovulated exactly two weeks after MC.

Hi marshdaily - the opks showing pos five days in a row may hae been your body gearing up to ovulate, then finally doing it!

Hi Peacebaby - I'm not sure about the safe to BD while brown spotting. I would. It still shows you are healing/healed as brown is "old" blood.

Nearly time for me to pee on more sticks.......PLEASE get darker today!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello ladies !!

Rachellie - I agree with the other ladies - personally I think your body will know best and if you are ready to sustain pregnancy then you will and it will be ok Have faith Hun

Pooch - I think it takes a while after mc for body to sort out, its frustrating especially if you want to TTC again soon, but sounds like you OV So that's a good start !

MB how's your POAS looking Hun ??!!!

Kate - at least with AF starting it's the start of a new cycle and lots of potential hopefully the CBFM will sort out now and you'll get a nice peak ! What cd do you usually OV Hun ?!

Marshdaily - agree that it could be your body gearing up to OV where they definite positive OPKs or just dark ?! I OV (pretty sure anyway) 16 days after mc started/14 days after I passed the baby I was 9+ weeks and MCd naturally x

Peacebaby - I agree with everything mb has said, I think it could well be OV spotting ! Have you had low readings on your CBFM since mc ? Or a taken a hpt to check all hcg out of system ? X

I'm still Crampy and "hopeful" but also will look at AF (if no BFP) as I fresh start
I guess if no BFP then my body wasn't ready to nurture another pregnancy yet - patience !! It's hard as my sister is showing her bump now too and I catch myself preparing for our holiday and thinking I would have been 16 weeks when returning from hols I try not to dwell - but it's still raw, 3 weeks ago today I was in hospital
Snap out women !!! It's Easter today and later I'm cooking a full on Christmas day lunch, I know Its Easter but got turkey and trimmings !! It's 2:09am and I can't sleep - very muggy weather, think it will thunder !

Anyway - don't forgot to show your sticks mb !! I'm rooting for a positive Opk !

to all

Pos opk!!!! Bd this morning, then pos opk with super yellow pee at 9.50am. Ive never had such a pos opk! will post pic later, we are on our way to the animal park.

 

[Mellybelle]

I'm back..... here are todays opks. After 3 weeks of barely-there second lines, I have positives!!!!!

 

[Neversaynever]

Lovely lines Melly! Fingers are crossed and

I'm on CD8 and will start OPK on CD11. Only my second cycle using them so hopefully I'm not leaving it too late to test?

Good luck to everyone and sticky to all

XxX

 

[Mellybelle]

And second deposit of the day is in....i'll cover my bases the best I can. Not expecting a bfp in two weejs, but at least i'll know I tried.

 

[Neversaynever]

Can't knock ya for trying Melly you just never know

XxX

 

[Alpinestars]

Oh mb - made me smile !! So glad to see you have a +ve Opk !! Can't knock your effort girl ! Make sure you bd tomorrow too to cover all angles so to speak !!!! X

 

[Mellybelle]

Thanks girls, I'll keep up with the BDing until temp rise. Am aware of the possibility that I didnt ov yet but my body was gearing up to it. Slight temp dip this morning, but it was after broken sleep, so I think the dip would have been bigger. Just did another opk and it has gone back to super negative. I guess this means ov day is today. Will continue with the shag fest as planned anyway.

Jo - CD24 for you. How many dpo are you? and when is test day? Or are you one of those you doesnt test early? I try not to be an early tester, but....well, I just cant help myself.

 

[Alpinestars]

Lol mb hope you still enjoying your "shag fest!"

I'm 8 dpo - feeling a bit anxious about it all today Of course I'm a POAS addict so although I've said I wouldn't do a hpt unless "late" I did poa-CBFM-s this morning

I don't think I'm totally out yet as there as a slight LH line but definately too early to try a hpt - what was I thinking ?!?!!!

Then I feel emotional today Just back on the school run and seeing people that I hadn't seen since MC. Of course a few people know, but I felt like the world knew and I just wanted to cry to be honest And then you see so many pregnant women and newborns too Just felt really yuk about it all and p*s*ed of to be fair !!

I know in my heart to be realistic as my age and so soon after mc, but I Want to be pregnant, I some how want to magic myself to back how I want to be, full with pregnancy

I'm just having a moment, but I think I'll look into the CBFM so I can take it on hols to start using - but then I don't know as I'm pretty in tune and could probably just use the CBFM sticks or OPKs - Grrrrrrrrr at myself !!!

Go away negative head and bring back positive head please !!!

Oh jo....its so hard. I have days where I think im ok, then it hits me again. Or theres yet another pregnancy announcement on facebook. Ttc is such a horrible waiting game. A game we're not supposed to be playing. we need a special bfp magic wand. I wish you more luck than you can imagine.

Hey! I'm just tagging in here-hope that's ok! Opk'd for first time this month n just bought cbfm for nxt month! It just seems easier to use n I hope it'll give mr peace of mind!

I'm currently 12dpo, last time all I got were cramps n sensitive nipples. This month had some cramps, no sensitivity and now lots of cramps n some queasiness the last couple of days BUT it feels just as much that it could be AF than anything else so not too hopeful :-S we b'd a lot over the crucial period but did the most the day B4 I ov'd cz I got confused!! Lol

Good luck to everyone here! Really really hope all this effort we r putting in gets us our bfps!
Xx

 

[Mellybelle]

Hi ckj. Yep, we are all putting in a lot of effort. I feel like I put just as much effort into ov'ing as ttc. I was do worried I wasnt going to ov and it would take months to get back to normal. I still dont really know if I did ov. Further temp rises will confirm that. Just need one more bd tonight to complete the shagfest and i'll feel like ive done all I can.

 

[CKJ]

Know what u mean, This month we b'd every day for 6days b4, morning n lunch day of strong pos opk test n then each morn for 2-3 days after. If no bfp this month I'll do once a day cd 12-15 (if Ov is the same) then Am n Pm Cd 16 n 17 n then back to once a day for a couple of days! THEN I'll feel I've covered it! And it means the rest of the month can b less intense!! Haha my husbands shattered

R u just temping or opk-ing too?
Xx

 

[Mellybelle]

Im temping and opk'ing. Am thinking of investing in a cbfm. It sounds like a fun new toy. I have an appt with a fs on monday. Im gonna beg him for clomid.
