[Laubull]

Can I join? I'll be testing about 17th October. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean for all

Yay Beth! So happy that you get a redo on your vacay, that sounds so relaxing!

Welcome laubull! :wave:

I am feeling better today seems like I was sick for a little while last night and then it all lightened up. Today I feel normal as a button! Still coping with the thought of trying again, how did you ladies wrap your head around it after chemical? I just feel like I don't want anything to do with OH or TTC right now. In the morning right when I wake up and temp my mind is in ttc mode and I am ready but as the day goes on I start to think differently. I'm thinking this month I will try for sure but if he happens to be out of town over O or something I don't think I will be overly upset.

PS I love how supportive our thread is, made me feel so much better last night

 

[cscbeth8421]

Todmommy, It's all still so fresh and new and recent. You're so early on in your cycle. As the days go on, and you get closer to O, maybe you will start to feel more motivated and ready to try again.
For me, personally wrapping my head around it, I've had 2 miscarriages, so even when i do get a bfp, i never get excited, per se. It's terrible that MC's /losses take the excitement out of it for you. So having a chemical, was no big shocker for me. It's like when i get a BFP, in my mind, i am prepared to loose it from the beginning. It's a terrible way to feel. ugh... It will get better. you WILL go on to have another healthy happy baby soon!

Welcome Laubull!!

todmommy I had a hard time wrapping my head around the chemical, even though I only had faint BFP for a day or two and then AF came. I wasn't expecting AF because I didn't get the blood in CM and blood at cervix like I usually do at about 2 days before AF, so I thought I was safe. I thought I'd "get over it" pretty easily because it wasn't that far along but it's still hard. You really have to just decide what is good for you, and where you are emotionally. Since i know this is my last cycle to try before I have to take a break for a few months, I am pushing through. But I don't know if I would be as gung-ho if that wasn't the case. You do have time though before O again. As the days go on it is getting easier for me, maybe it will for you.

Have you considered checking out the loss forums? It might be a good place to go. I was able to get a little support over there. Of course, to be honest, I felt like I Got better support/sympathy/understanding in our little group, but that's because you ladies have been with me through the cycle and basically we all went through it together. We are very invested in each other I Think. I like this thread a lot for that.


cscbeth I can't imagine 2 miscarriages + chemical. I mean, the chemical was hard enough. Wow, what we women go through for a baby.

 

[todmommy4568]

Beth I can't even imagine

Angel that is kind of where I am at. If this wasn't the last cycle before taking a break I am sure I would be taking this month off but since it is I am leaning toward pushing through it. Just looked at the calender and my probable O time is on a weekend so OH will be home and my son will be with his dad so it looks like the universe is saying get er done

Does O generally stay in the same range after chemical? I decided not to take any supplements this month since it seems my cycles have worked themselves out and now that it is in normal range I don't want the supplements to mess with it so I guess we will see!

 

[Blackrain90]

To be honest I didn't realize I had a chemical until about 2 weeks after, so it was a bit easier to accept since I hadn't known I was pregnant at all. It is definitely so hard, but hopefully things work out for this month and you start to feel a bit better.

The month after mine I ovulated later than normal (just based on temps though) but I also bled for two weeks straight instead of normal AF so that's likely why. Fx'd that this cycle stays on track for you this month!

Welcome Laubull! Hopefully this month you get a sticky bean, I am so sorry to see you had an ectopic. The ladies in this thread are very supportive so feel free to share anything (TMI is not a thing here haha)

 

[Blackrain90]

Quiet on here today ladies!

My opk today was a little darker than CD10 last cycle so hoping I may O a day or two earlier.

 

[todmommy4568]

I was thinking the same thing black, very quiet!

I hope you O early that would be awesome! I got mad and trashed all pregnancy tests, pictures of pregnancy tests, opk's, pics of opks, and that beautiful piece of paper that I took the time to glue my opks to none of it has actually made it to the trash yet but think I will just leave it but yea no comparing for me lol

 

[PnutProtector]

Welocome laubull! Blackrain is right about TMI not being a thing here. We truly want every detail to we can symptom spot with you!

Oh Beth I can't imagine what you've been through. I had an MMC 9 years ago, but I didn't even realize I was PG at the time. With my irregular cycles and being so busy I didn't notice. I had zero symptoms. I feel worse about it now than I did at the time. Probably because I was so young and definitely NOT ready or capable of caring for a baby. But now, I get sad about it sometimes. So I can't really say I've been there. I wasn't trying, and it's so emotionally different now that I am.

My OPKs arrived today!! And I totally POAS. Stark white OPK, but I expected that. Haha! I don't know when I O yet, so I'm just gonna start now and see what happens. I'll upload pics once I start to get lines.

 

[Angel5000]

todmommy I don't know, I've heard a lot of things. Some people say O comes earlier, some say later, some say right on time.

AFM, I thought I was going to maybe O early because of my Cervix early on (and pretty dark OPKs for early in my cycle) but it looks like my OPKs aren't getting any darker, and I still don't have any EWcm (but I think I'm getting close to getting some) so I think I'll probably O on normal schedule. I am still taking Vitex and B6 this cycle. I don't want to stop supplements on my last cycle trying. I can't afford a long cycle - if I don't O in September, I'll be pushing my due date late enough that I'd miss the first month of school. :/

We have to be at my parents this weekend, bc we have to spend the whole weekend cleaning out DH's grandparents estate (luckily my parents live near his), and so if I O on schedule (Tues/Wed of next week) then I'll be at my parents during fertile window. Makes for awkward BD but I'll find a way to get it done! LoL

 

[cupcake.]

Good morning ladies
I know it's a bit quiet in here atm haha probably cause we're all just waiting to ovulate.
My OPKs are still super faint, even with fmu haha but that's ok, still only CD11
I'm thinking O will probably be between monday and wednesday and if we keep up the BDing i think we'll have a great chance. I'm pretty optimistic this month

 

[todmommy4568]

Yay for good feelings cupcake! That's always a great thing!

Angel I definitely get what you are saying about not being able to have a long cycle hopefully you O soon. For me the supplements only pushed O up to where it is supposed to be so if it stays there I will be okay. I don't start my internship until the end of August so I would still have two months to stay home. When does the school year start for you?

 

[Angel5000]

So, because of my temp rises, and because my cervix has been High and Soft, FF has determined that I am 3DPO. I Don't know that I buy it though. I haven't really had any EWcm, just the start of what might be a mix of EWcm and Sticky. Odd. :/ If I did O, we at least got in a couple days of BD. But I don't think I did, I haven't been getting +OPKs and I usually get a pretty good OPK. It's only dotted CH because of that. Blah.

We'll see how it goes. I think the rise I'm getting is a "pre-O rise" which I sometimes get, but FF is very confused with everything else going on.

todmommy Students return the first day after labor day usually. Teachers go back around Aug25th or so for some training. As long as my due date is sometime in June I'd still get 2 months before I had to go back to work and put little one in childcare.

 

[AngelOb]

Morning everyone! AF got me today so I'm on to October. Testing on the 16th. Seems so far away. Going to try and not test early this month since I had shadows making me hopeful. We'll see

 

[cscbeth8421]

Morning ladies! CD 9. Just had some EWCM which is very early for me! I was going to wait till tomorrow to start opk's, but i think ill start tonight! Ill also start the mucinex tonight too. Perhaps the chemical pregnancy will cause me to O early this month? Wouldn't that be nice

 

[Blackrain90]

Angel5000, I was stalking your chart yesterday and was wondering if that was gonna happen. That would be weird to O without any positive OPK, especially that early.

Welcome AngelOb! I will be trying to hold off testing this month too, will see how that goes haha.

 

[Blackrain90]

Hopefully you O early csc!

 

[cscbeth8421]

Last cycle i didnt get EWCM till CD14. We are on a beach vacation this weekend, so looking forward to it! Made sure to rent a beach apartment with TWO bedrooms so the little guy gets his own!

 

[Angel5000]

blackrain I was wondering if I would O early because of the CP. But I don't know if I actually did. My temps over the next couple days will tell.

Today's temp is really not accurate. My dog woke me up at 3:30am wheezing pretty bad. I called her up to the bed, and was petting her to calm her down. About 3:45 I temped because I knew I wouldn't get any good sleep before the alarm went off at 5. The temp was 96.75. At 5am I temped again and the temp was 97.33 (but I think I only dozed for maybe 20-30 minutes between 3:45 and 5). I put in the 97.33 originally which is how I got the dotted CH, but I just did a temp adjuster, which made the temp 97.05. If I put THAT in, the CH go away. Soooo I'm going to use the 97.05 number for now, and see what tomorrow's temp is. I may end up disregarding today's temp.

With the 97.05 number, it looks like I've got a big drop, which usually means my O is coming up. I'm thinking I'll O in the next few days, maybe this weekend.

 

[cscbeth8421]

I googled ovulation after chemical pregnancy, and everything i read from people posting was that O usually stays around the same, sometimes a few days later. Which for me, seems to be the opposite. I'm having fertile signs much earlier. EWCM at CD9. Looking through 22 cycles tracked in FF, the earliest i have ever gotten EWCM was CD11 and that was just this past july. Though according to my FF, the earliest i have ever ovulate is CD15.

Who the hell knows
