TTC November 1st cycle since MC. Anyone else?

[Ltweety]

Trr
I usually O cycle day 14-15 but since this is my first cycle after ectopic and I started temping five days after HCG went down to zero, I have no idea when I will o. my chart and opks seem to be indicating that I did on CD 5--but since I arbitrarily picked cycle day 1, I have no idea what to expect this time. For all I know I could be getting AF in 5 or 6 days. I kind of hope so, since I have to wait a minimum of one full cycle before I can ttc. At least it would be over sooner

 

[Trr]

Yeah I feel like you may have o'd earlier or not at all or it could still be on its way. It's so hard to tell

 

[moonstar_004]

I started to have a teeny bit of brown mixed with creamy mucus yesterday & today. I'm hoping for af any day now, to see if my cycle is back to normal.

 

[Ltweety]

Your temps look promising for AF moonstar. That's a pretty good drop. That's a nice looking chart for post loss. Mine looks like it belongs to someone else!

 

[Trr]

Previously I was temping at 6am and 8am (working different shifts) so my temps are a little all over the place but I started walking up at 6 to temp because I don't know when I'm going to o now. Temping is the most annoying part of TTC

 

[Ltweety]

It is, but I like to watch the chart unfold...it's kind of a sick obsession I've developed
After the cycle is over it gives me an odd sense of peace to see that all my worrying led to a perfectly orderly chart

 

[Trr]

Oh I agree. I love temping because last cycle when I was pregnant I got a triphasic chart so I knew that I was more then likely pregnant because I usually drop temps around 10dpo and my temps were still rising. Hoping the same thing happens this cycle.

Temping is just a pain in the butt when you work shift work. If I work days, I'm up at 6, if I work evenings I'm usually up around 10 so I just set my alarm for 6 and go back to sleep on those days.

 

[moonstar_004]

i hope your temps will normalize soon too!

af is taking its sweet time arriving. 3rd day of a-smidge-a-day of brown spotting. i guess this is an effect of the early loss last month. i sometimes spot before af, but only for a day or two. i just wanna get it over with, i'm going to the beach next week! can't wait to have some well-deserved drinks!

 

[moonstar_004]

So af arrived yesterday. It was normal enough, medium flow.

Up until this evening. I soaked through my pad in 3 hours. I was so surprised when I went to the bathroom that blood spilled over. I've never soaked through a pad in my life as I usually change every 3 hours on heavy days. Is this normal after miscarriage? I don't feel faint or anything.

 

[Ltweety]

I was told anything more than a pad an hour was too heavy

I ovulated bang on schedule on Saturday evening which was exactly the same before my miscarriage. CD17. It's the Clomid that regulates me.

Having ovulated and BD 4 times in 2 days I've unearthed a whole range of emotions from fear of being pregnant and miscarrying, to fear of not being pregnant and having to go it all over again and fear that I didn't do all I could and rubbish that I've done all I can for this month and I either am or I'm not.

3dpo today...pregnant cycle I got my first pregnancy symptom on CD10 ( super sore nipples and high progesterone level of 79). Got a blood test booked for Friday but won't get results till Tuesday in which case I'll be CD10 anyway. I'm scared and so desperate for a healthy pregnancy.

How is everyone else doing? Saw some people were also doing OPKs this weekend!

Moonstar my first period after miscarriage was Provera induced but on the second day I was gushing blood. It resolved itself and was only a 3 day period in the end!

 

[Trr]

I am waiting to o. Today would have been normal o day for me but OPKs are still fairly faint and no EWCM. So I keep poas and waiting, I guess

 

[Mlynn3D]

Not temping, just charting CM and using OPKS . I started the OPKs today and had some EWCM this morning!

 

[Ltweety]

I'm waiting to O too. that means we may be testing buddies toward end of December! I think I will probably o middle of next week which would mean the week of Christmas I could test...Christmas BFPs?

 

[Trr]

I got my positive OPK Saturday night so I should have a high temp by tomorrow I would hope. It's about time. Was counting myself out thinking I wasn't gonna o. Now I wait.

Looks like it's heading in the right direction Trr. I will start my OPKs this weekend and hopefully it all falls together on time this month. So is your luteal phase typically two weeks? You are looking at testing the 14th or so?

 

[LouOscar01]

Good luck!! I'm approaching test date soon, though I will likely be spotting by Wednesday if I'm not pregnant. I get my progesterone results tomorrow. My non pregnant cycle was 35, my pregnant cycle was 76...so that will probably give me an indication as well.

Goodluck and happy testing LouOscar01. Will you start at 12dpo or hold out a little longer?

 

[Trr]

I think today is o day. Cervix opened only after I BDed today but I had a soft cup in so I'm hopeful again.

Last cycle, my cervix opened, I got a positive OPK and a temp spike the next day, in that order.

I'm going to assume 1dpo tomorrow.

Tweety- my LP is usually 13 days. Will hopefully wait until 12 dpo. Chances are I'll test early because I have wondfos.

 

[Ltweety]

I never make it past 12 dpo
