Trying before AF?

[xxemmyxx]

Sometimes it's good to have a break mummy2o, that's when I conceived the first time but now we had the experience of being pregnant it makes u crazy ttc! I think the CBFM is good if you have a normal cycle definitely xx

I also concieved the month I didn't try, It was when a friend came to stay from America, and she was here from CD3 until CD19, and so when she left I thought I was out for that month, which is why I cot the CBFM because I think that maybe I ovulate really late. I've also booked a trip to see her in febuary, just in case she's my good luck charm. We spent so much time together on the last trip that my husband joked that it was really her baby.

That's exactly how I was when I got a BFP, I was thinking did we even bd this month!? Haha I can't even remember having sex but must have done

LOL that was like me and my DH when we went overseas on vacation- I came home pregnant but didn't even realize I had missed my period. My good friend came over and announced she was expecting and after she told me I was like trying to calculate in my head when my last cycle was....when she went home I added it all up and was 9 days late!
Unfortunately that little one didn't make it but it was a shock to me to see the 2 lines spring up.

Cd14 today,I took an opk and it was a tad darker than yesterdays but still not a positive. We bd'd anyways just in case. But i really dont think I am ovulating. Cm is no where to be found.

Hoping and praying for a bfp before first AF arrives!!

Bleeding started again. Wondering if this is AF since I got a BFN on Friday. So annoyed.

oh so sorry! I was told its not AF unless there has been a 2 week break in between bleeding, I reckon you should go back to doctors, you have been bleeding a lot xx

I finally got a + OPK!! And before CD 25!! Maybe my body is straightening itself out!

I have been on the phone with them at least once a week since this started. Supposedly it's normal. I am not gushing or anything. I have heard that it is like 2 weeks or 20 days or something like that.. I had about a week of no bleeding.

Oh well.. stupid body.

Yeah, I think I'm taking a "Break" too. I asked for a few days off at Christmas and think I might try to get away for a bit. We have a big holiday coming up in Feb, so just a little something to get my mind off all this ttc craziness.

This cycle I'll keep temping and aim for BD every other day, start everyday at CD14 until i O, then just keep my mind off it all for the tww. I want to check in here, but not everyday twice a day like I did last tww. It drove me crazy! I'm also not going to go to acu. I want to see if my cycles are evening out, or if it's just because of acu and the herbs I take. This cycle will be totally natural (except for my baby aspirin everyday and pernatals) and will let me know where I stand.

I also want to focus on losing a few pounds. My holiday in February will be on the beach and I could really use about 8 pounds off around the middle. Anyone with me? I figure 8-10 pounds in 2 months should be doable, right? We could start another thread for a little weight loss challenge if anyone is interested!

 

[aknqtpie]

Viet - I would be down... although if I get pg in the mean time.. I may have to stop.. I could stand to lose some weight! I am planning to get back at the gym when I am done with finals on the 13th.

 

[vietmamsie]

Oh good! Obviously this wouldn't be a crazy strict/starvation diet. The idea is to lose a few pounds, not mess up our ovulation and possible harm a pregnancy! I have read that you can safely lose with while ttc, you just can't cut your calories too much because that can effect ovulation. I think I can safely eat about 1200-1500 a day, lose a pound a week and it should be fine.

 

[aknqtpie]

I am going to try and be better about eating.. probably won't calorie monitor.. but I do plan on going to the gym and doing some cardio.

 

[vietmamsie]

I want to get back into daily yoga at home and twice weekly at the studio. I also want to eat really clean this month... It always makes me feel so much better. No processed foods, try to eat all my veggies and avoid dairy. Those are my goals. I think I will count my calories too because I LOVE doing it! It's as addicting as ttc!

 

[mummy2o]

Aknqtpie: In total I bleed for about 21 days. A week before the mc then two weeks after. I then had about 16 days gap before my period. 2 weeks after that I had another mini miscarriage (my body found left over tissue and got that out also when trying to ovulate the following month) that lasted 12 hours. So I hope that helps in some way.

Viet: Sounds like a good plan, however this month I'm out. I have so many birthdays and christmas meals to attend I'd have to eat nothing for several days to loose anything. After Christmas though I am going to try, so might join in then if thats ok.

Sophia: Glad you got your positive this morning. Makes things feel more normal Hopefully your in the TWW soon

Was this your first +opk after m/c? If so, I am in the same boat :wave:

I had a m/c at 6wks nov 19th. I havent O'd since and today would be cd15. Opk are still BFN's. When do you normally O in your cycle?

Hi! Yes, this was my first post-mc +OPK/ovulation. I usually O between 26 and 35 days (based on cycles before I got pg with my daughter) my miscarriage was at 5 wks from my first post partum ovulation.

When do you normally O? I've heard a lot of ppl say they O'd later that normal after m/c

Thanks for the info! Sorry for your loss too
So your +opk was almost on time for when you normally O?


I normally O around cd14. And my cycles are between 28-30 days.
So I was expecting to O around the normal time since m/c was early. I really hope I get a +opk soon.
DH and I were so excited to be expecting again. DS took us 15 months ttc, and this was our first month that we tried and then bam bfp, and then gone in a matter of a week ! I'm hoping my body is extra fertile.

Good Luck to you! hope you been doing lots of bd'ing
Keep us posted!!! Come on xmas bfp's!!!

It sounds like you misunderstand how to use OPK's. OPK's, unlike pregnancy tests, can have a line most of your cycle, but that doesn't mean it is positive. A line that is as dark as or darker than the control line is considered positive with an OPK, so a faint line would be negative. This is because it detects a hormone called LH that is almost always present in the body. It increases as an egg is about to be released, and, thus, will make the OPK test line really dark right before ovulation (between 12 and 48 hours before, depending on how early your surge is and how early you caught your surge). I know they can be totally confusing sometimes! Hope this helps And lots of baby dust to you! I hope you get an obvious positive soon! FX'd for you!
