TTC #6

[Pinkpascal]

Spoke to soon, having my third loss. I honestly don’t know if I can cope with this.

I'm so sorry lovely. We are all here if you need us

 

[Its_Me]

what a horrible term that is!! A loss is A LOSS!! should just be called a misscarriage

I think it’s termed a chemical because it’s not yet an embryo before 5 weeks. Nonetheless heartbreaking when you’ve had a positive test x

I’m 4 days out of ovulation and we have decided to get down and dirty earlier. Thoughts? Good idea? Dont know at this stage

You never know! sperm could survive or you could ovulate earlier than expected (or both!). Why not enjoy your love life whilst TTC?

 

[Lolxx]

It’s a relief when you get those numbers back isn’t it I panicked about mine too and was sure they were going to tell me I had something like 2 and I had killed them all during my party years

Omg I was the same. I’m in my 30’s now so I was dreading it. Felt crazy seeing them on the screen x

 

[CallMeHollywood]

Looks like I may have some issues. By BBT are really low and although I’m older (35), I think there may be something else going on. I knew it wasn’t going to necessarily be easy but I think I’m starting to realise that maybe I should’ve done this a couple of years ago.

Caved and did a cheapo test at 7DPO. BFN of course but not losing hope!

I tested negative until 10dpo!

4DPO and feeling hopeful hope everyone is doing ok

Guys, I spotted this morning , as I wiped and It was light red . Normally AF arrives just like that. I’m 15 DPO, I pee al day and no more spotting. What does it mean? I’m on a vacation in America atm so I don’t want to go out and buy another test because my family don’t know I’m ttc.

How are you doing? Could be implantation bleeding, fingers crossed lovely

 

[Its_Me]

Sigh. AF is on its way - two days early too! I’ve decided to crack on with my fitness. I was reading today that you can easily put on two stone during pregnancy and I’m already overweight.

Anyone else on a fitness journey and care to share tips? I’ve dusted off the rowing machine and done 30 minutes this evening. Little steps.

I saw something the other day that said 1% everyday is 36 times better in one year, I’m crap at maths so the numbers mean nothing to me but I think it means small wins big gains if you do that 30 minutes you did tonight 3 more times this week then you’ve done 2 hours more than you did last week, keep going

If you want to mix things up I really like Heather Robertson videos on YouTube she has a good variation of workouts and she doesn’t talk too much.

AF is 3 days late and still a BFN

 

[Gossipgirl79]

can I just ask what is a chemical? When I had a misscarriage 2 months ago there was absolutely nothing when I went for a scan at 6 weeks, I then misscarried a week later could that of been a chemical? I’m now 6 weeks pregnant and buba has a heartbeat but I’m PARANOID

It’s a loss before 5 weeks…a fertilised egg that implanted but didn’t go any further. It’s not a nice term…a biochemical loss…I prefer early miscarriage. I’ve had 2 and both hurt and were as upsetting as my mmc at 10 weeks. Good Luck, hope all goes well.

 

[Its_Me]

What is your go to excuse during the 2WW for not drinking, when people don’t know you’re TTC?

“Mind your own business”

No, I usually say I’m on a diet or just that I’m cutting down

 

[Lara98]

It’s a very blunt response, especially when talking to someone who is clearly worried and relatively young in age in the TTC world I don’t have any advice as I’m not clued up but sending you lots of luck

Thank you! I just wish I never bothered and feel a bit embarrassed. Hoping some people on here can give me some advice on how to improve AMH and just general egg quality.

I've been taking seven seas pre conception pills but don't know if anyone can recommend any better? Just want someone to tell me what to do as I feel a bit lost and hopeless atm.

 

[Its_Me]

Pretty sure I’ve woken up with a bacterial infection and the canesten treatment I have says don’t use while TTC as sperm hates it.
I don’t know whether to hold off treating it or treat it and potentially lose a month. I’m turning 35 next month so it’s going to be a hard one anyway so I may have to take that one off anyway.
I just don’t know what to do. Anyone have any remedies? I refuse to sit in a bath of oats lol.

I would treat it now because it would be risky treating it if you got pregnant anyway?

Spoiler

my sister didn’t know she was pregnant - ran a marathon and celebrated with a bottle of wine. My niece is absolutely fine and healthy! If a pregnancy is meant to be, it’ll be!

currently CD14 and got my peak. I never really know what the tests mean in terms of when we need to have sex. So would this morning, this evening and then Monday evening be enough? Would Tuesday morning be worth it in terms of baby making?

So the peak means LH is surging which means ovulation is soon (24-72 hours I believe). So it's definitely worth doing it the day you get your peak and over the next few days but I think a lot of people (me included) think they've covered the fertile window and stop too soon so if you feel like doing Tuesday then I'd go for it. I should get my peak tomorrow so we are going to do it the next few days in a row then probably just every other day/every 2 days until AF.

Currently cycle day 35. Unsure if it's due to my body going back to normal after having my implant out a few months ago or whether there could be something wrong. Been tracking periods and CM but lately I haven't had much to track. Tested just incase and BFN. I bought some opks to use when I eventually get a period again. It's a bit frustrating!

 

[jemma2223]

CD34 and still nothing.. when will this torture stop

 

[noseynopinions]

Fingers crossed for good news! I'm CD7 and just feel miserable, really don't feel like sex at all! I think I just resent being on a schedule with it

Same here I'm going through a bit of a depressive phase and I can't face my fertile window which is approaching. Ugh

 

[Burrito88]

I am going insane. AF due in roughly two days. Was convinced it was starting yesterday morning as I had like 1% period (think what it's like on the very, very last day of your usual period - not red, barely anything at all) so I went through the feelings of anger and disappointment but then - nothing! The whole of yesterday and so far this today, nothing more. This is not usual for me, I'm not a spotter. My period starts when it starts and that's it. Now I'm back to wondering 'what if' and I'm too scared to take a pregnancy test until my period is officially late. I hate this

for you. Every little change becomes a sign doesn’t it

 

[Pinkpascal]

12DPO and BFN. Still feeling sick and bloated though so might be coming down with something.

 

[Burrito88]

Can I ask a real personal question? We are trying yes, but do you guys orgasm before it’s his time and it works? lol SORRY, no other way to ask! lol

I’m sure many children were conceived without the female orgasm in the olden days when only mens pleasure mattered I’ve read that there is a link between fertility and the female orgasm, however they don’t seem to specify exactly when is the best time for it to happen??
