TTC #4 after MC

[Kazy]

No more spotting or cramps. And no spike in temp this morning. Like you, my body is probably getting back to normal. It's possible I won't even ovulate this month or at the least it will be really late. Which I'm becoming ok with. We are surprising our kids with a trip to disney in a few weeks and I guess it would be ok to wait to be pregnant another month so I'm not super tired while we are there.

 

[MommytoLBG]

here's to us becoming normal

Oh have fun!!! We were there in October. Best 2 weeks ever. Is this everyone's first time there?

 

[Kazy]

No. We've been a few times before. But it's been two years since we have taken them. We aren't telling them until the morning we leave. I'm really excited about it. My daughter was only 1 when we went before so I know she will be so excited! And she LOVES princesses.

Anyway, I'm wondering if I don't ovulate this cycle would I still have a period?

 

[MommytoLBG]

Oh my goodness you will have so much fun!! Esp the surprise. That would be so awesome to do. I have been there many many times but this was the first time there as a mom. And my husband had never been either. As an adult I still love it just as much. But its really enjoyable to experience it thru the eyes of our kiddos. We are already planning our next trip! The kids asked to go back before we even left.

I think so. Just from different things I have read (on here mainly) that you do not have to O to get a period. Learned that from many LTTTC threads. Or you can O and not get a period or it can be late etc...Or you can O one month cd day xx and then O days earlier or later the next month or not at all. And that can be normal for many women, then take our situations with our mc and that really could mess up our cycles.

Normal please??

 

[Kazy]

My boys ask to go almost every week. This is the first time we are doing the dining plan so I'm interested to see if I like that.

And Normal will be here soon. Whatever that looks like lol. If I don't i am not too concerned because I'm
Confident it's due to MC and body adjusting. I've never had that issue before. Plus it could always be that I will ovulate really late. My spotting last week was heavier at times so it's possible that hormonally was like AF too. I don't really know.

How have you been feeling?

 

[MommytoLBG]

We really liked the dining plan. Esp (and like you) with 5 people. I know your little one isn't included yet, but its worth it in my opinion. It makes eating easier! We were there for 2 weeks and our last day we still had snacks left so we each grabbed a few items to snack on!

Same here...never had an issue with late periods, etc...i knew every month that on day 28, AF would arrive. This is all new to me. Looking forward to Tuesday for several reasons (cd 1 of cycle 2 after mc IF my body is at all back to normal). OR could be bfp (but highly doubtful).

 

[Kazy]

I think the dining plan will be great. Just to not have to think about food will be a vacation in and of itself. Lol. And my daughter is too young for it but we can share other food because the kids don't eat that much.

I am hopeful for Tuesday for you too! Praying you have an unexpected BFP! And really you're in a good place. Because either you have the BFP or see that your body has adjusted back just like you said.
I'm thinking about getting a few OPKs today. Not sure if I'll do it yet but it may give me an idea if O is close or not goog to happen.

 

[MommytoLBG]

That's what we did with our little guy. He just shared with his sister. And even the kids meals are huge!

I am hoping either of those 2 things happen. Anxious to see...don't want to be negative but can't help but stress a little about what if it doesn't arrive...But its out of my control. It is what is meant to be. I have learned a lot about that lately.

I just used the equate ones from walmart (never made to our $ store) so we picked up that brand. It doesn't hurt to poas right? Worst case is its negative...and if its positive, well then time to BD.

 

[Kazy]

Well I got the OPKs. And there is a definite test line but not quite as dark as the control. So that's a negative on that. But possible I missed a positive yesterday or a positive coming in the next few days.

It is so out of our control. It's a vulnerable place to be. I know my faith has really helped me on so e of my darker times. I'm not sure what you believe but I remind myself that all life is given by God.
I know stress doesn't help you get pregnant either. But just telling myself to not worry and not be stressed doesn't help!
It will happen though. For both of us. I am confident of that.

 

[MommytoLBG]

I would keep testing with them then. How many did you get??

Our faith is what gets us through. I put trust in Him that he will give us our baby on His terms.

Deep breath...no stress, no stress, no stress...deep breath.

 

[Kazy]

I have 4 tests left. So I will just do them the next 4 days and see what happens. I was trying to upload a pic of my test but I can't figure it out!

 

[MommytoLBG]

I don't know how to do that either! I tried to set up a pic as my avatar, but it won't save it. I can only do computer ones.

 

[Kazy]

Ok I think I did it!
Let me know if you can see it.

It looks to me like the lines are pretty close but for sure not the same. So, maybe soon???

 

[MommytoLBG]

I can see it!!!

Very close so I would say very soon!!

 

[MommytoLBG]

I had to fight the urge to test this am. But I am thinking AF is on her way...

Took the kiddos to Knoebels last night. Had a great time! But hubbie wouldn't let me carry little one at all. He's 3 and weighs 35 lbs. I was exhausted which is not normal for me, but I have cramps today that feel more like pms. But I have to pee ALL the time. I wake up with a sore throat and stuffy head. Frustrating....

 

[sweetmere]

Kazy I bet you get a positive in the next day or two!!! Better start baby dancing

LBG, I took a test yesterday and it had a faint line but it also had a dye run. I took another last night and then this morning and they're completely negative so it was a fluke! AF is due Tuesday for me, if you aren't pregnant it looks like we will be close to each other on the next cycle! I do ovulate a bit late though so after ovulation we may not be.

 

[MommytoLBG]

Sweet ~ I'm cd 26. So Monday would be 28 for me. I was thinking Monday was the day! But no AF should arrive for me on Tuesday as well. We are very close!! What day do you usually O? Pre mc for me was cd 14. Cycle was always 28 days. We will see if my body is back...epic day either way lol.

Thinking I'm going to test this evening even tho fmu is best. I can't wait much longer. My Ovia app alerted me to take a pregnancy test today, but...I waited and missed fmu. Every time I pee I think should I?

As for the fluke, never out until AF arrives so it could be just that it's too early for bfp! Fxd still crossed!

 

[Kazy]

MommytoLBG - you still never know. It's funny how pms and early pregnancy have similar symptoms. Just keeps us in a guessing game. Either way you'll know soon.

Sweetmere- you aren't out either. Still in the game until AD arrives!

Just took another opk and it looks the same if not a little fainter. So not sure what's up with that. And no temp rise today at all. So I should have been testing the end of next week but I am for sure out on that. But I'm still hopeful O could happen soon. It's possible I would have had a positive opk two days ago too. That's the bad thing about testing this late. And I have only done OPKs one other month earlier this year. So I don't have much experience with reading them.

 

[Kazy]

Oh and mommytoLBG I have never used Fmu for testing. I think if you are doing 9dpo maybe you should but your a little later than that I think. Depends on how much $ you want to waste!

 

[MommytoLBG]

Kazy ~ anything is possible lately esp after a mc. Remember our hormones are crazy and you could have Od but missed catching it on an opk because you didn't test those days. It's nothing but a waiting game right now.

Very true. Last pregnancy I tested after dinner and it came back + but it was 8 days after AF was due. I'm thinking about testing next pee. DH is still at the cabin work day so going to wait for him. Just not sure I'm ready to find out...
