Trying before AF?

[xxemmyxx]

I just had a donation on Tuesday after getting a +OPK! The thing is I had a mmc in May and haven't had AF since...I don't even know if I am working properly lol...but gave it a shot as a 'just in case' Will have to wait and see (although I am pretty sure it wont work) if not, hopefully I will get AF

Fingers crossed carlywarly, know what you mean when you say you don't know if your working properly! At least you got a positive opk so something is working lol x

Thanks hun Good luck to you!!

Brilliant story flapjack! I wonder if the people on your journal are familiar with it!

Yup! I've told it to cheer them all up before

Great story flapjack! Glad u got ur revenge! Mine was similar except I had more of an "examination" from the bloke to get it out, me with my legs spread as far as they can go and him scrambling around up there saying "I can feel it but I can't get it" ...embarrassing, I really didn't know him well enough to be having a cervical examination haha wish I knew the advice about the bath!

Oh my God! Yeah I didn't know him that well so didn't want him rummaging around down there!

Rainbow blanket sounds like a gorgeous idea

Hi ladies! I think I am going to join you gals. We lost our little angel at 7 weeks 4 days on August 27. I had spotted bright red and had an ultrasound the Tuesday before that and saw baby, heartbeat was good and baby was fine, but measuring smaller according to my dates (though I was hopeful that maybe he/she implanted late or whatever and that was why he/she was smaller). I started bleeding like a lighter period flow the next day, went in for an ultrasound (and prenatal appointment) the next day and, again, saw baby with a good heartbeat (a little faster this time and had grown a day ahead since last time), they thought the bleeding may have been related to a leaky bleedy cyst on my ovary. I started bleeding heavier that Saturday night and had some mild cramps that day that went away. Bleeding continued heavier on Sunday, and I started miscarrying that Sunday night. The next morning an ultrasound confirmed that I was miscarrying, baby was still there, measuring correctly but no heartbeat. It has now been almost 2 weeks since the miscarriage, my hpt's are almost negative (extremely faint) and waiting to O. I'm temping and taking OPK's and, so far, temps are low and OPK's are faint.

NP said to wait one cycle, but I think if my body is ready to conceive again, it will. We are kind of NTNP this cycle and will see what happens. NP actually said if we did get pregnant before hand everything would more than likely be fine. So we will see! This waiting for my body to get back to normal is annoying though! I'm just ready to get knocked up again!

Hi to the new ladies.

Sorry for your losses.

Twister - news?

 

[Laubull]

Markswife - I am sorry to hear your news, it must have been an emotional rollercoaster going back so many times. Temping and using OPKs is a good idea, it gives you something to focus on and hope when your cycle starts back up again. I counted my first day of heavy bleeding as CD1 and I ovulated around my usual day, I hope you do too Good luck!

AFM I got a tiny bit of pink CM yesterday evening.... I was really excited to begin with, thinking it could be implantation bleeding but this morning my temps have taken a tumble and I have AF type pains so I am wondering if it's just her making an early appearance, I hope not but trying to be realistic.....

Baby dust to all

Hi markswife10 . Sorry for your loss, sounds like it was a hectic rollercoaster Hope those HPTs start getting clear soon so you can start again. I think it's best to start when you're physically and emotionally ready, and if you both are then go for it!

Laubull - I hope it is IB! Stay back witch, stay back!

Twister - Thinking of you hun xxx

Love to the rest of you gals.

Thanks for the welcome gals! Yes it was an emotional rollercoaster. We went from being scared to death, to elated (from seeing baby and a normal heartbeat), to being scared to death again, to being elated again (after seeing baby again), to being devastated. Definitely a week I never want to relive.

DH and I are both definitely ready to try again and can't wait to get pregnant again (although I'm quite sure I'm going to be scared to death for the first several months of my pregnancy. Even seeing a normal heartbeat this time probably won't calm my fears as we saw a normal heartbeat twice the week before we lost our LO). We are just trying to put it all in God's hands though and trusting Him.

And I am DEFINITELY hoping for BFN's soon and positive OPKs so I can start trying again.

Laubull, I hope it isn't AF! Stay away AF!

 

[Laubull]

Thanks Markswife I hope you can get back on the baby train soon!

After a better nights sleep, still restless but definitely better, my temp has gone back up, yea! AF due tomorrow..... Boobs and back are hoping, symptoms are so similar to AF!!

Hope everyone else is well

[flapjack10]

Are you testing tomorrow Lau, or just waiting until you're late? Hope this is it!

Markswife - You will get your sticky bean!

[Laubull]

Thanks Flapjack, I'm planning to wait until AF is late, Friday is my aim! Definitely wont be tomorrow, I'm superstitious of testing on a Wednesday after my last 2 experiences, sad I know!!

[mummy2o]

Good luck laubull. Keep us updated.

Markswife I hope you get your sticky soon.

Another question how good are OPKs? I haven't used any before but I don't want to use before my AF as OH won't let me until then. So just going with the flow until then.

 

[flapjack10]

Lau - not sad! I completely understand! Friday sounds like a plan - I've got my F&TX for you!

OPKs are great, but it depends on if they suit you. You can get the cheap ones from Amazon, which look like cheap HPT's. The darker the test line the closer you are to O - so it does take some guess work. I used the ClearBlue ones that give you a smiley face on/near your O day. They're more expensive, but I know I'd get very frustrated with trying to interpret the IC OPKS.

I've known some people who swear by them (me being one) and others who haven't been able to make them work for them.

They also help with the POAS urge!

i rely on opks normally use the clearblue blue fertillity monitor as it gives you a 5 day window but this cycle and last we have been usin normal clearbluestick with the lines but both seem to work for us. it is nice to know roughly when i ovulate so i know when to excpect AF. but fx'd it wont arrive lol

 

[CupcakeBaby]

The cycle right after my MC I didn't get any +OPKs - which was the first time I hadn't had any so counted myself as out.

Got pregnant though.

So I'd say for the first cycle I wouldn't bother as I think your hormones are too messed up still sometimes.

 

[flapjack10]

How are you Cupcake?

I started using opk's after mc and never used them before, getting really frustrated with them!! Dunno if I'm just not ovulating still but I have had nothing other than the faintest line in 10 weeks!! I'm looking into that clear blue fertility monitor, expensive but comes highly recommended! My friend got a smiley face on cd8 so ur cycle never does what it's expected to! I have symptoms of ovulation like EWCM and a softer cervix and sensitive nipples which I seem to always get mid cycle!?
