In the TWW but so did not plan this

[loved2830]

So my love and I did the BD all weekend. I never really thought about myself ovulating since my first AF after MC came on and I didnt have any CM signs or O pains.

This time I know I O'd and my goodness the pain was worse than it has ever been.

So here I am now 40days post MC and I am in the TWW again.

We discussed this weekend on how we will start TTC again in NOV since I will have 3 cycles by then but never did I think I would be here.

At this point I am just trusting in my Lord! If it happens it happens and if it doesnt that is fine too bc I know we will try again in November for real!

I am trying not to symptom spot but I cant help but look at my first post about charting BBT and getting my BFP on cd10.

Currently I am 2dpo so I will update this post whenever I decide to test or have some crazy symptom but hopefully I can just forget this TWW. lol yea right

Wow, now that is interesting . I and hoping for good news for you. So please keep us posted. I recently lost my baby and had a D&C nearly 3 weeks ago. I haven't seen af yet so I am waiting for that. Hopefully it would be sooner or later. At the moment I've refocused my energy towards fitness and staying in shape.

I am 43 and getting pregnant in July was a complete surprise as I was told that I could not have children. So imagine my surprise. It was a welcomed surprise which ended very sadly.

But now that I know things are still working, I am focusing on "preparing" for pregnancy. Cut a few things out, added some things in....etc.

So here's to more surprises...for the both of us.

Justme43 what a story!!! I am currently working out (was a gym junkie prior to TTC) ..this is week 4 back to working out. I had to do something to get my mind off my MC.

Sorry for you loss but I must say my mom had a baby at 41. She planned my little brother and had a tubal pregnancy and had surgery. Sure enough one month later she ovulated out of the same tube and got pregnant!!! So at your age I think you should be fine.

What else are you doing to prepare to conceive? I have still take my prenatals since I MC and just eating better too.

Way to go mom! That's wonderful - I am hoping for a happy ending too . My mom had me at 17, my brother at 35 and my sister at 38 so hopefully I am as fertile as she was. Thank you so much for sharing your moms story.

I've read all the different supplements that ladies are taking while ttc but I am not taking anything. Like you I am still taking my prenatal. I am watching what I eat. I am a vegetarian so I've been really focusing on getting the right balance of nutrients from other foods.

I haven't seen my ob yet because she wanted to wait 4 weeks post D&C. I see her next week and I guess she will tell me if I need anything. All she told me was to wait until after a cycle to try again. She seemed confident that I would not have a problem conceiving.

I had high blood pressure and was taking medication but over the past few months I managed to keep it down and was taken off of medication. Of course that was a concern, but while pregnant my blood pressure was good.

So basically, exercising, eating right, resting and trying not to keep my mind right. I am sure you know how that can be. The ups and downs are crazy. I have my moments but the exercising and anything normal helps a lot.

Also, I never monitored myself or anything. The first time as an unexpected miracle - and I wish I can do that again. I really do not want to start monitoring myself because I think that would make me crazy.

Your OB was nicer than mine lol mine said to wait 3 cycles.

Your mom sounded really fertile! So maybe you are too.

I use to be a vegetarian but my body was not having that. I was only eating chicken and turkey for 5 years and just this past 8 months or so I started eating beef again. So hopefully my body will be like "yay protein and other meats" and make me have a sticky bean!

Sounds like you are doing everything right!! I think monitoring yourself is a good thing. You get so insync with your body and its really fascinating. I was going to chart BBT but wasnt going to start that again until November but now I am wishing I did it for this cycle. I charted the first time when I got pregnant and that was a cool experience so I would say try it out and see how you like it.

 

[Justme43]

Okay you talked me into it . What is the best way to chart? I do have an app that tells me when I am ovulating (based on my cycles). It also tells me when my cycle is coming. Of course right now its not helpful since I haven't had a cycle since June.

But what do I use aside from that? I know, I know......I am so green when it comes to this stuff.

 

[Justme43]

Also, how did your body respond to beef? I think mine might go into shock. It's been over 25 years since I've had any red meat. I would say maybe 15 since no turkey or chicken. Now I just have fish or seafood occasionally.

 

[loved2830]

The go to app is Fertility Friend. I use that and an app called My Cycles by med help.

Fertility Friend is where I charted my basal body temperature. You would need to get a BBT thermometer. I got mine off of amazon.

You pretty much take your temperature when you wake up before you get out of bed and move around. Look of charting. I read an awful lot before I started.

You also track your CM changes. ya know creamy, egg white and things like that.

In my app there was a selection for miscarriage and I checked that. I read that counting the first day of heavy bleeding for your MC is cycle day 1.

So you would chart your temperature when you start your cycle and eventually Fertility Friend will give you what is called "cross hairs" so show when you ovulated. You can also visit their webpage and youtube page for detailed information. Charting your temp is the most effective way to know you have ovulated. FF has only two cycles of mine in the app whereas My Cycles has more than 10 so that is more accurate as far as predicting my ovulation. I used that and got pregnant but FF told me exactly when I ovulated. It will also show you have many DPO (day past ovulation you are)

As far as eating meat again, it was rather a challenge lol. I dont eat beef as much now either only because it swells my gums. That was one of the reasons I had stop eating it. For the most part I just eat chicken or turkey but I try to get in beef every now and then. I can say I got thicker lol I was really slim only eating chicken and turkey and now I have filled out. I can also say that was due to me being pregnant but not really.

I'm in the TWW and I haven't had my first AF since M/C. I had a positive OPK on the 11th of this month. We have been BDing but I'm not holding out I'll be pregnant this month. Hoping and praying though I won't have to wait too long to get pregnant again. FX for all you lovely ladies, I hope we all get our rainbow babies xx
