TTC After a Loss

**** Monday Crazy Train *****

This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations about waiting to O, the 2WW, or vent about our cycles.

 If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, or you just want to pee on all things, let it out here!

 In order for the conductors to be better able to help you, please make sure you either have a FF chart link in your sig, or make sure you post a link.

Don't chart? You should consider it, not only will it give you a lot more insight to your cycles, but conductors will be able to answer a lot of your questions just by looking at your chart!

To learn more about charting, check out the charting course that FF offers:https://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/

The CT is not the place to post a BFP. If you have a "squinter" or if you have a line that appeared after the time frame, please do not post about it here. Take a step back from the board, test again with FMU, and good luck!

Re: **** Monday Crazy Train *****

  • Is it kosher to use the crazy train thread to ask a question that I don't think deserves its own thread @PinkCamino‌?
    YUP!

    Go for it, I'll do my best to answer!

  • Thanks! Also, I love tit a lot. So everyone can just get used to that. :-) I had my d&e Friday. Is it possible I'd ovulate after I stop bleeding but before my next AF? It is, right? I want to TTA for my mental health this cycle and am trying to figure out if it'll be a month or so of condoms until I know what the fuck my cycle is doing post loss.
    1) I'm a potty mouth so we're going to become fast friends. I fucking love you already.

    2) I would use condoms. Honestly, I sorta hate that you asked me about your D&C because if you look down at my history my experience with them wasn't the greatest. I don't want to scare you so I'm gonna shut about that but encourage you to chart okay? It took me nearly 100 days to get my AF back which sucked. I was ovulating throughout though and I guess technically I could have gotten pregnant. I'd use condoms and charting to 1) prevent pregnancy and 2) make sure your cycles are doing what they are supposed to do.
  • Good morning ladies!! Thanks for starting @pinkcamino!

    Crazy level from 1-10: 7

    CD: 15 (after mc)

    Can I just ______ already?!: Ovulate!

    Signs/Symptoms: off and on egg white CM, cervix is high and soft today

    Explain your Crazy here: My OB said there was no reason to TTA since my levels dropped so quickly, so we've been having EOD sex since cleared. I'm really regretting my decision to not temp this month. It felt like too much for me, but now I feel like I'm not in control (if that makes any sense). I'm using OPKs, all - so far, and charting CM and CP. I keep focusing on TTC because I feel less helpless, if it makes any sense.

  • @Sterling13‌, it is definitely possible to ovulate before your next MS. I agree with @PinkCamino‌ that your best bet is to use condoms if you want to TTA... Although I fucking HATE condoms and would rather just skip sex altogether in that case!!

    So many ((hugs)) It's so so hard but yes the feelings of control are normal. Why not just continue with EOD and not chart or use OPKs?
  • Thanks @PinkCamino‌-- I'm going to continue with the OPKs for sure and try to do EOD sex. We have had some trouble with that in the past because DH feels pressured to perform. I was so relieved to be pg before my m/c because we didn't have to have any more timed sex. One of my first thoughts when I was bleeding was that I can't go through the charting again. I get so obsessive about my chart and checking/analyzing it. It drives me crazy :(

  • Punching another ticket because I think I might lose my head before Thursday (when I can get some pee sticks)

    Crazy level from 1-10:  9

    CD/DPO: 25/9

    Can I just ______ already?!: Pee on a steek

    Signs/Symptoms: Some mild cramping, seemingly enlarged Montgomery's nodules (which was my clue last time) and possible leukorrhea

    Explain your Crazy here: I feel like I'm probably just imagining my symptoms and making myself crazier. I know I tend to get myself worked up over nothing. My temps are holding nice and high for now, but I know they could drop at any point. I just want a pee stick! Laughingly told H to get one when he went to the pharmacy for pills this morning, but of course he didn't. He doesn't get my insanity!!

  • Good morning @PinkCamino!!! My, what a nice looking chart you have there! Keeping my FX'd for you :)

    Crazy level from 1-10: we're at a 4-alarm 10 over here.

    CD/DPO: 11 DPO

    Can I just ______ already?!: get an answer

    Signs/Symptoms: Tired, gassy, little bit of a backache, little crampy yesterday, heartburn/indigestion yesterday, breaking out. Really, really irritable.

    Explain your Crazy here: UGGGHHHH YOU GUYS. With my first PG, I got a BFP at 11DPO. With my CP last cycle, I started getting squinters at 11DPO. Today? Nada. Yes, I know it's still "early." But given my history of testing, I would expect something today if there was going to be anything. My LP is also never longer than 10/11 days (I think the longest it's ever been was 13 days and that only happened once in a TTA cycle back in Feb). Soooooo idk wtf is going on. My temps are still up, but I could get a crash tomorrow. This is infuriating and really disappointing.

    ask your friend to borrow a dollar and head straight to the dollar store ;)
  • FX for you! (((hugs)))
    @MrsPhD83‌ sorry about negatives, but that is great you are having a longer LP!! FX!! Crazy level from 1-10: 10 CD: 33/11 Can I just ______ already?!: Test!! Signs/Symptoms: Sat. I was Oktoberfest and the whole time I was super nauseous. I only had a total of two beers because I didn't feel well. It would go away when I ate, but then come back. Yesterday was ok, but then this morning I got really nauseous on my morning drive again. I take a long bumpy road which the only other time I've ever been nauseous was when I was pregnant last time....cue crazy! Explain your Crazy here: I was debating testing today since it's a special day for us, but my loss brain took ahold and didn't want to have the reminder if we get pregnant and have another loss. I think this is all in my head, but I'm running to the dollar store to stock up at lunch! I'm going to test tomorrow.

  • @PinkCamino‌ -- the fertility tea is a good idea. I should see if DH is willing to try it. It's nice to hear that other women have similar experiences with TTGP, in the past I've had a friend ask me why I wasn't pregnant yet and when I started talking about the stresses and logistics of it, she didn't get it AT ALL. She was one of those "get off of bc pills and get KU the first time" ladies. Ugh!

    We've been together for 9 years and you can tell just how different our sex life is. Last night we were trying to get it done and we kept interrupting our make-out session to talk about things we want to do around the house. Ha ha. To be newly dating again and screwing like rabbits....
