TTC After a Loss

Wondering what's on the minds of fellow CD1-CD5'rs

Happy Friday!  I am on CD2 and feeling very anxious about my first time TTCAL.  The past month and a half I have been POAS for one reason or another and right now I have no reason to.  I am looking forward to CD10ish when I start OPK's so I can POAS again...lol.  I am trying to keep my thoughts in check as sometimes I get excited that in 4 weeks I could be pg again!  I have to quickly remind myself that while that would be great, I should be fully prepared for it to take some time.

So I was just curious what's going through everyone else's mind at this time in their cycle???

ETA: I of course do not mean to exclude anyone....ALL are welcome to lmk what's on your mind!  Love you all...XOXO

  • I'm relieved my cycle is back up and running! Looking forward to taking my temps and PIAC so I can feel a sense of control this cycle. also planning to have a deep massage before I O. It might be the last one for a while!

    My heart is as open as the sky.

  • on CD1 of my first cycle TTCAL and totally freaking out/exciting/overanalyzing it all over here, too. I also POAS last month with TTA even though I knew there was a 0% chance of actually being KU----but now those pee tests are going to be even more fun/awful.

    So basically, same exact thoughts as you right now! Trying not to plot my path of destruction with DH's sperm too much right now although I already have ideas on which days I'll demand some BDing. Also trying not to get my hopes up too much for this first go-around but it's hard not to!

     Good luck!

  • I'm on CD7, but am excited about really "trying" this cycle (temping/opks).

    The previous cycles since our loss would have had more inconvenient due dates (during the school year and I'm a college instructor), so while I would have been extremely happy getting pg during one of them, I'm okay with it not happening.  But now it would be at the very end of the semester.

    So here's to hopefully great out comes to this month : )

  • I am happy that my previous cycle is over... it was way too long for my liking.  I am going to do another month on not temping.  Might do some OPKs but I haven't ordered them yet.  We will see how it goes!  Hopefully AF will end soon & we can just get busy.

    All of this. I'm on CD 2, and I'm equally excited and nervous to start TTC again this cycle. I just want to be able to feel like I have some idea of what's going on in my body again!

    LOL, all of this. It was such a relief to get AF last weekend but the excitement was short lived because now I have my sights set on O! It is hard to be patient. I am not charting but will be using OPKs starting on CD10. I think we are going to do the "sperm meets egg" plan.

  • I think it is CD5 for me...  Feeling ok - drinking lots of wine... S/O - I am going to drink some now.  I am hoping August is the cycle... This is cycle 6 TTCAL...

     GL ladies!

  • CD5 here.  This is our 13th cycle TTC, 8th since the loss.  We're undergoing testing right now, waiting to hear back about or labs for CD3 and SA.  I'm not overly optimistic for this cycle.  I feel like the longer we try the easier and harder it becomes.
