Trying before AF?

[aknqtpie]

Mummy - I get that alot.. you can just refer to me as AK or Alaska .. it stands for Alaskan Cutie Pie

So question for you all.. I have stopped bleeding but am still getting mucus that sometimes has a little brown or red tinge to it (red is minimal) .. my Doctor said it was normal.. but wondering how long after the bleeding stops does it go away!!! I know everyone is not normal.. but I really want to ... and it is annoying and uncomfortable.

aknqtpie: I have always wondered what your name means!

Mine is pretty stupid: Viet because I live in Vietnam and Mamsie which is one of my husbands nick names for me.

Hi! Checking in as it has been a few days. AF is here and strong. I'm super disappointed this cycle, but what can you do? I was thinking about taking a break, but my husband thinks we should keep on trying. I think he just likes that when we are ttc we have a lot of sex!

Drinking my way through AF this weekend... Hope you all have a good weekend!

 

[Sophiasmom]

Haha! I'm pretty sure my husband would agree!!

aknqtpie-that definitely helps to write your name!!

 

[mummy2o]

Welcome Armywife. Sorry for your loss. Your more than welcome to join us.

Aknqtpie: Sophia is right. Once I knew what your name means its easier for me to put the letters in the right order. I hope the mucus goes back to normal soon

Viet: I bet you are with those few positives How mean. OH and I decided NTNP this month. We're still going to DTD every day though so he's happy but not going to track when I ovulate. So it semi I guess.

Glad I could help clear things up

I POAS yesterday and got a BFN means my hcg. Is below 5!!! I took full advantage of DH hehe

Isn't it such a weird feeling to be celebrating negative hpt's?!

AFM- still waiting to O. Opks have been fading in and tons of ewcm and little cramps but no + yet. Like you, DH is getting lots of action this week haha!

 

[aknqtpie]

I am debating whether or not to use OPKs... Maybe I will.. I have a half box left... Might well use them.

 

[Sophiasmom]

I wasn't going to, but I was in the same situation. I had extra opk's and now I'm not just going to stop testing mid-cycle if I run out

 

[aknqtpie]

I did one today and it was a negative...

Started getting the EWCM discharge today mixed with some blood.. wondering if I shouldn't have BD'd yesterday...

 

[Sophiasmom]

Maybe the blood is just from BDing?

 

[aknqtpie]

Maybe... I'm not sure if they are correlated or if it is a coincidence. We BD'd last night around 7 or 8... and the EWCM with a little blood (it isn't a lot... just kind of tinged with it) started around noon today.. who knows.

Hi ladies. Did anyone notice a change in cm compared to a normal cycle? I should be ovulating any day now but cm is incredibly dry and opks arent dark yet. I normally ovulate cd14.
I hope i didnt miss it. my opk got lighter today

 

[mummy2o]

Armywife you might not ovulate after a miscarriage. You might also get a longer cycle than normal. Its not that always black and white after one. So just keep testing and wait

aknqtpie: I was told you could have blood in your ewcm after sex is normal and he just hit something. After a mc I was bleeding a couple of times after sex (within 24 hours) but it soon stopped and I thought nothing more of it. After my first cycle it went back to normal.

 

[aknqtpie]

That's good to know. Going to not bd tonight... But do it again tomorrow. It's starting to stop now.

Army- I have heard that sometimes you either won't ovulate or it happens at a different time then normal.

Army wife unfortunately the body can do crazy things after mc so please don't stress out trying to understand it, it's hard but it can take a few cycles to get back in touch with how ur body is behaving! I'm 6 months after mc and its still crazy but fingers crossed you will be lucky and ovulate soon xx

AFM I'm a bit excited cus I have been taking fertilaid and agnus castus and my AF was much more normal this cycle and lasted exactly 7 days whereas recently it's been going on for at least 2 weeks! I used the clear blue fertility monitor even though I know it may not work for me cus my cycles have been so long but I got a high fertility reading today on day 8 so I'm really hoping this means I might ovulate in the next couple of days and get a Christmas BFP
I also have a crampy pain in my left side so I'm hoping that's something to do with ovulation, I have a cyst on that ovary so I spose that could cause some pain!? Anyway I'm feeling positive, first fertility appointment isn't until 4th feb so I gotta do something before then!!

Hope your all ok xx

My cycle after MC my opks stayed very faint and my CM was really weird and thick. Not like normal EWCM.

But something must've happened in there as I've got a little princess in my tummy now.

So I say just BD anyway. Xx

 

[xxemmyxx]

Haha yeah if in doubt BD!

Argh. Using my clear blue monitor, currently on CD14, and just showing as high rather than giving me a surge. I'm getting twitchy and thinking I'm not going to ovulate this month. It's so frustrating. I just feel like if I could strain or something I could pop one out.

pop one out! Is it ur first month using it? I got loads of highs first time and no peak but I don't think I ovulated cus I went on to have a really long cycle but I read loads online and there's so many different stories of women who have ovulated but it didn't pick it up or had loads of high days and no peak but still got pregnant, it's there to help but it's not a clear indication of what's happening really so try not to get so focused on it, I did that last time I got obsessed with my little machine and I think it's like when ur willing something to happen it never does! And the days tick by so slowly when you look at the number on the screen drives me crazy

 

[mummy2o]

And you guys really want me to get a clear blue fertility monitor Seems like more hassle. I'm quite content doing nothing this month. My plans might be all up in the air anyway as OH has a job interview tomorrow and it will require moving to the other side of the country so that messes up my college plans as the only university near us would be Cambridge and there is no way I'd be bright enough for it. So I need to think about doing something else if he gets this job.
