Looking for TTC buddies after MC

[BabyBrain80]

Good luck ladies

Still on/off bleeding today. Add in the stupid snow that wont pee off I'm feeling a bit frustrated! Plus these boys are driving me mad

Poppie my cycles were always crazy when i was younger and then when i was on the mini pill I had bleeding or spotting at random times, I was one of the unlucky ones! After my mc last July I started being bang on 28 days which was weird.

So I dont know if Im cd9 (when I first started spotting) or maybe cd6 but I will follow my opks anyway so it wont matter too much. Just hope this random bleeding stops soon.

I hope it stops soon babybrain

Babybrain I hope the bleeding stops soon. Its horrible when your body does things you don't expect without any real explanation. And double annoying when you are ttc!

I should hopefully ovulate either Monday or Tuesday. So just hoping to catch the egg! Fx!

 

[mrsmummy2]

Good luck Flou

 

[BabyBrain80]

Thanks, yeah it's getting annoying but I understand things can be messed up after mc....just wish it would hurry up!! Lol
It's more like lots of CM that's either pinky, brown, bright red or has red streaks. Sometimes I go wipe and it's a proper big spot of blood. Next time I go there's nothing there. Very odd.
I'm starting to feel like something out there is telling me to stop ttc. My 2 boys were so simple.

Good luck flou, I really hope this is your month!

Been having a read about Pregnacare vitamins causing periods to stop /be delayed/ delaying ovulation!!! I've been taking them since my last period, in the past Ive just started taking them when I got my bfp but wanted to give things a boost. I dont know why they would have an affect but I do wonder if these are disrupting my period so will maybe stop or switch.

 

[mrsmummy2]

Oh wow really? How odd!! I took those when I got my last BFP... I did half wonder if it had something to do with it (although I know it probably wasn't linked). I've just continued to take folic acid on its own now as that's what I took with DD and DS.

How annoying if the prenatals could be causing things to muck up! I take one, but it's the same one I've always taken leading up to TTC since before my first was born. I don't think it's had any effect on anything, except hopefully making things good for developing baby.

Started digi opk testing today (as per the recommendation on their info) of course, just low, open circle. Probably DTD anyway lol.

I hope you all have a good weekend. xx

 

[BabyBrain80]

I'm not sure why they would affect things but just came across it the other day, loads of ladies think it's caused them issues. I think my body is just having a laugh at me!

Good luck with the digi Poppie, hope it helps you this cycle.

Hope everyone has a good weekend too

 

[Poppiebug]

Thanks Babybrain. I'm only doing digi this cycle instead of normal sticks as well, just to TRY and stress less about it. Trying my hardest not to get too worked up. So hard when you just want it to happen already. Like I've said before I just don't know how people go through this for so long.

Anyway we had a nice family day out today, good to go and do something different. The kids got to play in the park while the weather is still nice.

 

[BabyBrain80]

I feel like I've been constantly staring at OPK's or ic's forever! It's been since the beginning of last year and I'm getting quite fed up with it all. I'm getting a bit obsessed!

Day 13 of the bleeding on/off saga... theres definitly more blood now (when it's on)than there was in the first week. It's like someone didn't turn the tap on full and it's taking forever to empty!! My OH said why don't you go to doc? Well by the time I got an appointment it will probably have stopped, what can they do? And I can't pick who I want to see anymore and there's only 1 doc I would want. At this point I feel like "whatever!" There's no point getting stressed, just give my body a bit of time to sort itself out, it's had a hard year!

I do feel a bit defeated by the whole thing.

Still at least the snow is away, there's been a bit of sunshine (which turned into a heavy downpour ) so fingers crossed I can get these two boys out a bit more as we still have another week off school/nursery/work.

Hope everyone is ok xx

 

[flou]

babybrain. I am sorry you are going through this. When you think about planning to have children you never imagine it would be so difficult or stressful! For some lucky ones its not and then for others it just seems one thing after another. I hope you get a resolution soon!

 

[mrsmummy2]

Sorry its taking so long babybrain

 

[Poppiebug]

Sending love BabyBrain. xx

As Flou said, you never imagine things being so hard or so heartbreaking, especially when you see these women who seem to have things so easy, but I guess you never know what their real stories are.

 

[BabyBrain80]

That's very true guys and thanks. Thinking back to last jan/Feb time when I first started to seriously think about ttc again, I never imagined it would be this way. I'd had a mc in the past but ds2 came along easily afterwards, figured it was just bad luck. Also I was lucky though to have fallen pregnant so easily 3 times so didn't think that was an issue either. And here we are.
I look at wee Austin and think I really am so very lucky to have had him after all, he's my wee rainbow. Obviously Im grateful for Cam too but it feels different as there was heartache before and after A and I really feel like I may never have had him. If you know what I mean.
When I see others posting that have struggled for years and have no children it makes me feel very guilty. Like I shouldn't moan, but we each have our pain.

I really hope you all get your wee rainbow babies very soon

 

[Poppiebug]

I feel the same, I am lucky to have my boys who were conceived so easily and have both been happy and healthy, then when we conceived first try again with our angel it was amazing. I had all sorts of plans for my year, when I'd tell people, when I'd finish up, then things went to crap. I thought that falling pregnant again first month would be super likely but it didn't happen, and although this is only our second month I feel like this journey will go forever. We used to say we wouldn't try in April with the baby likely to come at Christmas but now I don't even care.

So yeah, you gotta count your blessings I guess, but it doesn't make the struggles less painful.

 

[W8tingforbaby]

I feel like these next 10 days until af is due will and are dragging lol. Hopefully I’ll be lucky but idk we shall see took almost a year to conceive the one we just lost so hoping it won’t take as long to get a bfp again. Fingers crossed

 

[flou]

I didn't have an easy time ttc DS. It took us 4 years and 2 losses, from the time we decided ttc to actually having him in my arms. I went through some dark times of thinking that I would never be a mum. So Im so grateful for DS. When I got pg so quickly last year I thought that all or any issues I had conceiving were in the past. Just bad luck. But I miscarried and for several months after I felt so guilty, like I didn't have the right to be angry and upset as I had my DS. But when I acknowledged those feelings I felt a lot better. It was still a baby I lost and all the hopes and dreams. And DS' sibling which hurt the most. 5 mobths ttc I had a chemical. I tested got a bfp but I had spotting which never stopped and few days later developed into AF. I think I knew it wasn't going to stick around. I get scared that I might never be able to have another and give DS a little brother or sister. I know how lucky I am to have him but I just want a bit more to have just one more. I still have hope but I just wish I knew my realistic chances so I could make a decision as to whether to keep hoping or to move on. At the moment I want to continue to try and hope it happens. I hope we all get our little rainbows soon.

Got me a flashing smiley last night and lunch time today and I think ewcm this afternoon. For those that track, how long before O do you ladies get ewcm? The last few cycles it's been like 2 days before FF says O occurred with temp shift.

 

[BabyBrain80]

I don't know for sure but tend to get ewcm for a few days in the run up and don't temp so don't know when O actually occurs, just vaguely. Will try and dtd every second day throughout, should be enough....hopefully lol xx good luck
