Looking for TTC buddies after MC

[imready4it]

Poppie, I would do the same....especially if it gives you a better idea of O. I seriously contemplated it but then decided to just BD every other day. I got lucky and caught the first month I tried it.

 

[Poppiebug]

I went and got one. I'll start using it tomorrow (because you use fmu for it??) so I'll use that in the mornings and my others in the afternoon / evening.
Like i keep saying, it doesn't matter much in the scheme of things, we will still BD every day / every second day but I just like to know whats going on as best I can cuz I'm a bit of a planner or control freak when it comes to this lol.

 

[BabyBrain80]

Poppie if it makes you feel better then why not?! hope it helps.

I use the cheapie opks and I started cd9 just so I could get a picture of whats going on now. They have all been quite light and todays is almost positive but not quite dark enough yet, cd12. I tend to test once a day around lunch time and not get too obsessed with it lol.

So OH has had man flu but we bd cd7 and cd10, will hopefully go again tonight as he is feeling a bit better. Not sure if to try and dtd every day, might not happen as I tend not to tell him its the important days just to not add pressure and we also both get so tired. If i did tell him we need to do it hed be happy enough lol but not sure whats best for sperm.

So I expect a positive opk maybe cd13 or cd14 & it normally sticks around for 2 days.

What days do you ladies normally plan to dtd?

Hey poppie I know what you mean about wanting to know. I posted my opk as I was a freek in wanting to know even though I did it every other day. But the time of o we actually only did it 3 days apart. Just got lucky I guess. It must be true being very fertile after mc. Fx for you.. also my opk never showed a good reading with fmu nor did my preg tests. I always tested around 4-6pm that's when I used to get better results for some reason x

Hey Brain look like you most be close to O, I would recommend every other day as it takes around 48-72 hours for sperm to regenerate. Hubby took wellman conception pills to boost his swimmers and I can honestly say it must have worked as we did it 3 days apart from O so swimmers must have stayed up there for a while. Good luck hun xx

 

[Poppiebug]

Thanks everyone, especially for just listening to me bang on about it here. Took the digi today, says low but there are lines on the stick so that's good, hopefully building up those hormones. Oh and only CD9 so not unexpected that it's not positive yet.

We have been DTD every day (it's a long weekend here too so we're well rested ha!) but also for our sway it's recommended to have frequent release so that there is good quality sperm but not heaps and heaps. We would keep doing this (or every other day) until I get my O signs (EWCM, pains, +opk) and then stop. So we don't actually BD on O day.

As I've said before, I care less about the sway now, but DH is still keen to work through the process and we do seem to be fairly fertile so fingers crossed it works in our favour again. With our last pregnancy (that we lost) we stopped BD 3-4 days before the temp dip and it was about 2 days before the dip when we conceived DS2, with a semi-sway attempt then too. But with all that there's that big part of me that just doesn't care now, I just want a happy healthy baby.

Good luck BabyBrain - I hope you catch that eggie.

In some ways I think Id like to try and sway for a girl, only because I have 2 boys and I feel Im going to miss that relationship I have with my mum.
But I know where I am with my boys, Im not very girly myself and dont know what to do with girls! (I work alongside them in a nursery mind , thankfully only doing admin but still in the same room. )
I also dont really want to miss this month as if it doesnt happen then I might be missing 2 or 3 cycles (dont want the late dec/Jan/feb due dates). So after 2 mc in a row Im just happy for a healthy baby. But a pink one would be interesting
Perhaps if I do have to wait Id consider swaying....but maybe not lol x

I look after little girls every day, actually have more girls this year than ever! So I wonder if this is Gods way of telling me what I'm in for or enjoy this, cuz here comes another boy!! LOL. I'm with you though, just don't want to wait now, esp after the loss, a girl would be a blessing but moreso a happy and healthy baby of either gender.

Got the flashing smiley on the digit opk this morning, so that makes me feel good that O is coming. Looking forward to seeing if there's a darker line on my other stick later this evening.

 

[BabyBrain80]

Did you do more OPK's Poppie?

Mine have been getting darker over past couple of days. Yesterday it was same as control, today is darker than control. We Bd yesterday morning and this morning, so will try again tmw am. Fingers crossed!!

Hope you catch that egg Poppie xxx

Yay! Good luck!

Lines slowly getting darker on opks and flashing smiley again this morning on the digi (which i've also been pulling apart after to see the line progression on those lol). So maybe another day or two for me.

 

[BabyBrain80]

Good luck!

Think I put too much pressure on my OH, didnt happen this morning He had to get up earlier so there wasnt much time and he felt like the kids were going to barge through the door at any moment. This is why I try not to tell him when we have to dtd, the pressure was on. Feel terrible now.

Oh love, don't be too hard on yourself. It's so hard not to get carried away, I'm the perfect example of getting completely carried away in this whole thing! Still sending your way. X

 

[ANL25]

Babybrain- yes don’t be too hard on yourself! We all have moments. Fingers crossed for you!

Poppie- I too am using digital but still only getting smileys and I knew I had to be ovulating late evening of CD16 (Mon) but Tuesday AM was still flashing so I went and bought FR OPK and sure enough it was positive! Urghhhh did another one yesterday evening still positive and today no longer positive but test line is there just lighter than the control. CB OPK STILL has flashing this morning so I would’ve missed it if i didn’t take the FR even though I knew, it would have been nice to see the solid smiley.

 

[flou]

Hi ladies think I just hit the tww. However, we managed to dtd about 48 hours before O. We normally try every other day in my fertile window but DH pulled a muscle in his back putting DS in his car seat! Hoping there were enough little guys there for a decent chance. Good luck everyone and babydust to all!

Oh no!! Don't tell me that! So glad you got the positive on the FR one though, fingers crossed for you!! My lines are getting darker but still not positive. I've never really got a strong strong positive on any, however I think I'm still a day or two away, no temp dip yet, but a bit of ewcm and a few twinges I think are happening (who knows what's in my head though?? lol).

Good luck Flou, those little guys can live in there waiting for the egg for a few days so you could very well be lucky.

Were in this together Flou! Today I’m 1DPO and I’ll be testing at earliest 10Dpo (Next fri) what about you?

 

[Poppiebug]

So bit excited, took another digi this evening and it was a solid smiley! Then a few hours later took a normal stick (cuz the solid wont go away for 48 hours or something) and it's almost almost positive... i'll be testing again before bed (yes poas addict!). I also have some O pains and ewcm so yay! I'll attach a pic of my test progression from the last 2 days just because I'm excited and want to share... sorry, not sorry.

https://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/g321/Poppiebug/_20180315_210714.jpg

So we dtd last night and won't again now until O has passed, which keeps in with our sway of not doing it right at O to try and increase chance of girl. I said to DH though, if we arent lucky this cycle, I'm not even worried about the sway next cycle, we'll just go all the way through.

Fingers crossed!!

 

[BabyBrain80]

Awesome Poppie! Good luck everyone, looks like we are all around the same time on our cycles.

I'm going to guess I'm 1dpo, don't temp or that so just going roughly by positive opk and pains/nausea. Now I would like to try and not test till nearer the 28th but we all know that's not going to happen! I will aim to try around 22nd/23rd. Got my ic's and 2 frer at the ready.....now it's time to wait

 

[imready4it]

Good luck girls in your TWW!! I’m happy all of you are getting back into regular cycles. I return to the dr. today...please pray that my lil bean is alive. I’m so nervous I don’t know what to do.

 

[ANL25]

Yaaaay Poppie! Hey- there is no shame when it comes to POAS ��

babybrain- SAME GIRL SAME!! Can’t wait to start testing. It will be ther 23rd for me also. Let’s keep each other posted as we are close in cycle time!

Imready- praying that everything goes perfect today! Fingers crossed. Keep us posted.
