Trying before AF?

[baileybubs]

That's the spirit horsey!! I said the same thing last month, the day AF arrives could always be the first day of you pregnancy so FX'd for you!!! August is gonna be a great month for everyone, I can feel it!!

 

[flapjack10]

Oooooh bailey I've got everything crossed for you!

I'm gonna tell my friends - it's only three of them and they're my bessie mates and two of them know about the first MC. I can't lie to them for three days straight and they'll probably guess anyway! I trust them to keep it quiet and I'm gonna stress the seriousness of me telling them, as I haven't even told my parents yet!

Morning ladies

Nothing new to report here but just thought I would send you all an Olympic sized dose of

Morning Ladies, hope you are all well

Quick question, I have a lighter OPK again today, so would you class the one I did yesterday as a + now?
xxxxx

 

[baileybubs]

Hmmm not sure on that twister......how did it loom in RL? Would you have said it was positive? Coz it could be just a slight surge and then gone away again, I got those a couple of times just before I did get a positive, its like it's surging but them changes it's mind lol!! I would keep on using opk's hun just in case, if they stay faint and negative then class yesterday's as a positive, and if they get dark again then you know you are O'ing! Hope that made sense!

 

[twister7]

Thanks Bailey, no sure what to think really. In the past I have had positives that were the same as yesterday's. Last month is the only month I have ever had a good dark positive so who knows, maybe FF will confirm it in the next couple of days, Im on CD21 so hopefully it was.

[baileybubs]

Do you temp as well? That might help if you don't get very strong positives on opk's. I don't temp coz I'm useless at remembering to. I'm not buying anymore opk's, think its making me worry more about dtd on time and delaying O coz it's been getting later and later every month. And then I also have my worry about should we be ttc if we are getting married next year.....but I don't want to delay having a baby or getting married lol!! I want it all now hahaha!!

 

[mrs_swj2be]

hi ever one hope you are all ok.
thanks for the advice about which cd.
1 thing i have lernt is no matter how many yrs my journey geos on for i realise that i will never know everything and i will always be learning.

i have got a drs appointment today just to check every thing is ok i think. more of an emotional m.o.t. i think than a physical lol.

sorry prob to much tmi but we stated trying again last night felt a bit awkward but glad we are over that first hurdle as now we get back to regular bd'ing

is it worth uing ovulation sticks this cycle or should we just keep practicing and if we do get af then start a fresh from then.?????????

 

[Storm7]

Must not symptom spot... Must not symptom spot...

But it is no hard not to... Argh!

 

[Storm7]

So not no. Damn iPhone!

Mrs s - I have used OPKs this cycle for the first time and I find them confusing to say the least!

 

[mrs_swj2be]

we were using the clear blue fertility monitor as looked really simple to use but although was simple the use and read i thinki am just going to go back to standard sticks.

 

[xxemmyxx]

Mrs s I tried using opk's for the first time after miscarriage and I am confused too, but I suppose we don't know when we are going to ovulate this cycle so unless you use one everyday we might miss it, I used them from when I thought I had ovulation pain and CM but I never got a line that was as dark as the control. I think the best thing to do is BD every other night until AF comes and then maybe we will know where our cycles are after that and using opk will be easier. I ran out and thought this is a new expensive daily habit!

AFM I have stopped the brown spotting which I had for 2 days and now have a pink stain on the tissue only when I wipe, this can't be period, well I'm really hoping it's not! I still feel a bit crampy, I am resisting the urge to test, I am going to wait and see if this develops into a period over the next 5 days and if not test then!

Storm I am totally symptom spotting too, anything to share? Lol it's ok on here we are allowed x

 

[Storm7]

Well as you insist!

Brown spotting. Telling myself AF is on the way 5DPO is too soon for implantation bleeding so doubt it's that. Damn bodies. I sometimes wish I was a man. Also vomited but think is unlikely to be a symptom!

 

[xxemmyxx]

I read implantation can occur between 6-12 dpo so your not that far off that now...

At least you know roughly where you are in your cycle so you can tell it's not meant to be your period it's more likely to be implantation bleeding than anything.

I don't know where i am in my cycle at all so this very very light spotting when I wipe is a mystery so of course I have convinced myself I could be pregnant and I shall symptom spot and eventually crack and spend all my money on tests till I get my period! Try and hold on you are doing well, every day you get through before testing is an accomplishment! I am reading 50 shades to take my mind off it, anyone else reading it? Oh my baby making shall be enjoyable after this!

 

[Storm7]

Morning all

I am now in the clutches of the witch so back to CD1 after a short 2ww. Feeling positive still though as at least I know where I am with my cycle again. POAS will begin again in around 6 days.

 

[xxemmyxx]

Oh sorry storm good luck for this cycle though! How long are your cycles then?

I think the AF is going to get me cus I have serious cramps that have kept me up all night but still nothing more than spotting!? Maybe this period is a very very light one, the pain is terrible though I have had to cancel my lunch with friends

 

[mrs_swj2be]

storm sorry the witch got you but fx'd for you for this cycle.

emmy sorry you are unwell and had to cancel your plans and hope you feel better soon.

afm we went out last night to my by sisters for a bbq and i had a lovely chat with my sister and brother in law about everything. and i have woken up feeling really positive about every thing.
and the drs are really happy with how everything is going

Hi everyone. Can i please join in if you ladies don't mind. I read all your 70 posts and feeling so much better and hopeful for the future.

Here is my story(sorry if its too long. thought might help someone)

Got to know this tuesday(24th) at my 10th week 1 day u/s that baby had no heartbeat now and was only measuring 7weeks and 6 days. i was devastated. Couldn't believe this was happening to me. this was my first pregnancy after a chemical one last may. Doc suggested d&c but i didn't want anything surgical. i wanted to morn in the privacy of my home and pass everything in private. IT helps in accepting the fact as well that you are no longer pg. I opted for the med(misoprostal 200*4 pills vaginally).
I took it this wednesday at 12 pm and started bad cramps with fever around 4 pm. I took a pain killer and a heating pad over my tummy which i must tell you helped immensely. I had the heating pad on my tummy for 5 hrs! I bled heavily with big and small clots. After the bleeding lessened i felt better. At night my pad was completely dry. Next day on thursday very light bleeding.I could understand that i hadn't passed everything and was very worried about tissues remaining in me. But Yesterday(friday) in the afternoon i suddenly started with major cramps again with fever. i took out the heating pad again(god bless the one who invented it). After one hour i felt so much pressure in my pelvic area. I started gushing out blood and clots and filling pads one after another. Passing clots of all sizes from huge to small. It was indeed a very very heavy flow but nothing to take you to er! I finally passed the baby and the sac late evening. all the pain and the pressure suddenly vanished after that and i felt so much better. Today is saturday i am still bleeding with little clots but it feels like normal period with normal cramps. nothing scary. I really hope i have passed everything. have to go for u/s after two weeks to cross check. if something remains i might have to opt for d&c. But i personally feel i have passed all. Feeling quite tired and unwell with a bad headache.

Doc said i can start ttc from my first af but i don't want to wait so much. plan to start ttc once i stop bleeding, my hcg level goes to 0 and u/s gives me a green signal.....

I must say DH was a huge support and ALWAYS by my side. I want our baby sooooo badly

 

[xxemmyxx]

Mrs s really glad you are feeling positive! Realising that this is not the end for all of us is the first step! We will all get our rainbow xx

Welcome shefali83 sorry for your loss hopefully you are through the worst and on the road to recovery, good luck with everything xx
I started trying as soon as I stopped bleeding and luckily my hcg was at zero as soon as I stopped bleeding so as long as you are emotionally ready I don't see the harm. Sadly I think I have my AF now even though I tried straight away but often you don't ovulate in the first cycle after miscarriage, fingers crossed for next cycle! Xx

 

[twister7]

Hope everyone is doing ok......

Sorry the witch gotcha storm, least you can look forward to a fresh new cycle...
Hope you feel better soon Emmi...
Glad your feeling more positive Mrs S.

AFM ~I dont know where I am really, I think I ovulated a couple of days ago but am waiting for FF to confirm because Im not sure. Bit fustrated OH and I had a bit of a dingdong on Thursday so have not DTD for the last couple of nights, when we needed to. Feel like Im running this cycle a bit blind and it's getting me down a little but hey ho, will all come out in the wash I guess....
