Morning Ladies, am feeling muchos positive today for some reason, my head is starting to clear a little and my little mind has been wandering towards ttc..... so I was just wondering if anyone here starting trying to track ovulation before 1st cycle after mc? I've NO idea when to aim for or to just BD all the time and hope for the best haha xx

Hi, I did last month using my mc as the first day of af and using ov sticks but be warned - its a bit unpredictable! I usually ov oround day 12 but last month it was day 21 so I used a lot of ov sticks.

You could just bd every other day until af shows up but I think if its a longer cycle than normal which is very common straight after a mc then its torture wondering if you are late because you are pregnant.

Hope this makes sense! By the day my doctor told me you are very fertile just after a mc.

Yay L+N thats excellent news!!! As for the highs i honestly don't know! The first time i used it (&got my bfp) i had 3 i think then 2 peak and then 2 more highs, last month, 1st one after mc i had 1 high then 2 peaks and then 2 highs, this month however i've only had highs!!!! had no. 6 this morning!!?? bit confused... the only thing is that i've re set my monitor each time i've used it so far bcus of bfp then bcus of cycles being wierd after mc so it hasn't 'remembered' anything cus i haven't let it!!! Is it giving u some PMA though?

Hi HT, as for trackibng OV after mc i set my cbfm and then kept re setting it everyday so i didn't miss it! lol, cost me a fortune in sticks as it was 6 weeks b4 i ov'd!!!! It was worth it though cus it was a huge milestone and gave loads of PMA! xx

Hmmm.....think I may have to invest in one of these CBFM thingies. I didn't bother before as fertility tests said I wasn't ovulating regularly.....but I obviously did somewhere along the line!

Thanks Rocky, yes it definately is improving my PMA, I also find that I can forget about ttc a lot more as well. Have been temping too this month on Fertility Friend so will be able to see how I am getting on in the 2ww as well.

6 Highs is a lot - there must be a peak just around the corner or maybe we are going to be in the 2ww together!

Morning everyone!

L+N - that's great news! Can't wait to start using my cbfm. When I was using the fs sticks and got those two lines to say I was ov I got so excited - knowing your body is doing what it should do is great for pma levels.

HT - I'm glad to see you are starting to feel a little more positive. xxxxx

Thanks M&S, I agree - its confirmation that everything is not broken lol!

Hi all

Glad to hear about people getting highs on their CBFM thingies! hopefully you'll be getting your BFP's v soon!

I have been in bed all morning(still am) feeling v grotty, have a cough, sore throat, headache and for the last 2 nights have been awake since 3.30 feeling nauseaous and a bit bloaty. Feel absolutley shattered, typical that i am ill whilst on a weeks holiday!

OH wouldn't BD last night cos he had been working from 7.30am - 9.00 and said he was too tired. Felt a bit gutted cos i keep thinking that i am going to miss the window (even though have BD'd everyday since Fri sorry if TMI) on CD 15/16 today. Trying not to get too obsessed with TTC as it is just the 1st month of TTC since MC, but it is sooo hard not to. Does everyone else feel like this or am i the only loon here?

Going to go and have a nice relaxing bath shortly, it always makes me feel better.

Jodie - I am TOTALLY obsessed. Wish I wasn't, but I am. Can't help it, and we haven't even started trying again yet. To be fair I was quite obsessed before the mc, but it's gone into overdrive now.

I think it's natural really - probably nature's way of making sure the human race doesn't die out. Try not to beat yourself up about it.

And I wouldn't worry about not bd'ing last night - you are clearly bd'ing quite a lot so I don;t think it will make a difference!

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi girls
Am hoping I can join in too - I should def have taken your advice and been anti testing in October. I am a little ahead in my cycle that you guys I think - AF is due on Monday so am 10dop I think.
Anyway I stupidly tested this morning - BFN. But of course am now just thinking it was maybe too early and so basically a total waste of a test. Anyway will not test until Tuesday when AF is late. But may need help!

Hi ladies,

L&N that's great about the high, the cycle I conceived I didnt get a peak just loads of highs!!!

Ladies i've read through all the posts & all the info has just dissolved somewere, sorry!! I had my 10wk old nephew last night & am half asleep now LOL it's hard with a puppie as well cause she's used to having all of our attention!! I think I will try & catch up properly later if I can, my nan has had to go into hospital early this morning as been having breathing difficulties so hoping to go & see her as well later. Catch you all later xxxx

Laujai hope your nan gets better soon xxxxx

aw laujai best wishes to your nan! xx

aw laujai best wishes to your nan! xx

Hi HappyTraveller,

We are ttc since mc without an af in between. However, haven't been checking OV as didn't knwo what dates would be like but did have loads of EWCM a few days ago so think I did OV as normal on CD 12/13 for me.

Next month starting with the shiny spanking new CBFM! (if we don't get pg this month!)

Laujai - hope your nan gets better.

I think it's natural to be more desperate to ttc when you've had a mc as you want to be pg again. I'm far more into it this time than I was before mc!

Could you put me down for the 11th November please? Sorry I haven't been around much, I tend to do my best not to think about TTC at all whenever I can as I just get overly obsessed, so I've been hiding from BabyExpert since I knew I was out for last month. I'll be back and horrendously obsessed when the two week wait starts next week though, I can assure you.

Hope you ladies are all well. Sending buckets of babydust x x x

ooh L&N exciting about the high. I am on day 3 of highs, and now off for the weekend - what perfect timing!!

happytraveler - we ttc'd again straight after MC. We just BD'd every other day as I thought opk's would put to much pressure on me that month and wanted to chill a bit. but then the more time went on the mroe I wished I'd tested as I started to feel a little better and got more and more ttc obsessed. So if you think you'll be like that start testing now, but be warned as the other girls said it may take a long time and a lot of POASing til you ov!

Eeeaakk help guys! I really thought i'd missed my peak but it turned up this morning!!! the one night (last night) that we didn't BD!!!! now my PMA has totally wandered off! I pounced on hubby this morning but o ly had time to lie with a pillow under my hips for 20 mins!!! other than last night we have BD the last 7 nights and a couple of times used Zestica and another couple used pre seed, i'm just really worried that i missed the opportunity last night and now i feel :-( xx

p.s. L+ N please can you change my test date to 8 November! xx

Rocky I'm sure if you did it night before last and this morning you'll be ok. and wait til the morning before you get too worried, you might get a 2nd peak day. I only ever use a pillow for a bout 5minutes before I get bored - how long do you usually sit on it for?!?!

I'm on 4th morning of highs and me and DH are off for the weekend - hooray! How many people actually get peaks on their first month using cbfm?
