Beautiful work @cooaladoll! I am impressed. We are the absolute worst at doing anything DIY. I'm glad you and your fiancé are on the same page, and I am so glad he gives you hope for the future. Plus, I think he's right
@cjs260 big hugs, lady. That's a lot to handle. You sound like exactly the kind of wife your husband needs - try not to be too hard on yourself. Thinking of you guys!

@chloe97 CONGRATS! I've been following your pain on these threads, and I'm glad you've reached the end of the storm Wishing you a happy, healthy eight months and a happy, healthy baby @catiecatp My own ovulation pains can range from a mild ache on one side for an hour to a red, hot poker stabbing me in the ovary for three days. I hope your pain is mild, because I swear the latter is worse than PMS cramps! @MissAmeliaPond Yeah I actually remember seeing you on the TTGP forums a few times even I first joined The Bump. Yeah, that forum seems to be more of a distraction and talks of OPKs and whatnot, where as that's not where we are anymore. Sorry for your loss, my DH had the same reaction to my CPs. Though when I lost the confirmed pregnancy, it was hard for him as well. Hope you two make it through this.

thanks @chloe97 ! so excited to see your post that you are PGAL. congrats on your BFP. i got my first BFP just 2 days after your first, so maybe I'll follow in your footsteps this cycle too. thanks for the words of encouragement and wishing you a super H&H9!
So I tested this morning and got a BFP! I think I am in shock. It was super faint but for sure there. Yesterday I was really thinking I would be out from all the symptoms I was having. It felt like PMS. Yesterday I even called my insurance and medical provider to see what their timelines were for starting to get testing and if it started over after the MC. Thank you all so much for being there. I'm so thankful for all the support on this page. I wish none of us had to be in this club, but since we have to, I'm glad its full of strong women. FX for all of you! I will be lurking.
@cjs260 It sounds like you have a very strong, supportive, honest relationship.

@cooaladoll - I love your pictures! Gorgeous work!
@catiecatp - I get ovulation pain for days, on both sides, before I ovulate. I didn't initially get it when I came off of BC but the longer I've been off the more pain I seem to get.
Can I interject a *question* to you ladies? Did any of you have LP length changes after your loss? My first cycle post loss my LP was 13 days rather than 12 (had been same every cycle since I started temping), so I'm trying to figure out if I can expect any consistency this month or if it's going to be another "wait and see" month.
@catiecatp Yes, bad time. I'm getting concerned. I feel so disconnected from everything and everyone - I don't even want to post here because I feel so alone. We're preparing to start actually trying just about right now and I'm so effing scared. So sorry if I miss something I really do mean to acknowledge; I hate leaving people hanging in conversation (it's the worst feeling when it feels like it's happening to me so I try really hard never to do it).
@cjs260 Patience and forgiveness are our best gifts to each other. I wish you strength during this tough time but please, please don't blame yourself in any way.

@missameliapond My LP has been all over the place since my MC. Prior to that I was a consistent 14 day LP. I have since varied from 5 - 11 I think without looking. It's been a mess. My last cycle was the most regulated I've been though and that was cycle 4 post loss.
@reneeannemm sorry to hear about your bad day. I almost feel like I have a trauma reaction at times to my miscarriage. This overwhelming sense of dread and a mood that can change really quickly freaks me out as I'm usually as steady as they go in terms of that stuff, like a generally cheerful and easy going person. I still think I'm just struggling with grief at the loss and I think different parts of our cycle are just reminders of different things and the passage of time. I hope things get better for you, and as you know we are always here for a chat or vent session.

@CClark2014 I keep track of my cycle days in fertility friend. I have somewhat returned from temping, but for years have at least stored how many days I have AF, CM etc. I have been keeping track post miscarriage and included my MC in my BFP chart. For me it's good information as I try and see how my body is recovering.
@BornReady, thanks, that's what I was thinking, I just didn't know if I was being obsessive since we aren't even cleared yet. But I figured that I liked having as much info as possible during TTC that even though my body and cycles might be out of whack for a while, I can see just how crazy they are being.

@CClark2014 - looking back I started charting about 12 days after the start of my MC - that is around the time that I think I switched to Fertility Friend from another app

Thanks for the compliments guys! @silentP that's very sweet of you!
@DinosaurJumper I can't even take leaving my phone home for a day so I'm totally bummed for you about losing it in the river, sounds awful! @mickcole FX! @m6agua yahoo! Congratulations and wishing you a happy healthy 8 more months! @reneeannemmI'm sorry you're feeling so down and disconnected. I'm hoping today's been a better day? @CClark2014 I'm sorry for your loss. Like PP, I use Fertility Friend for keeping track.
Can I interject a *question* to you ladies? Did any of you have LP length changes after your loss? My first cycle post loss my LP was 13 days rather than 12 (had been same every cycle since I started temping), so I'm trying to figure out if I can expect any consistency this month or if it's going to be another "wait and see" month.
Yes but mine have always been a little wonky. I think my true LP must be 13 days because they range from 12-14. I'm guessing that maybe with some variation in what time of day I ovulate, maybe that accounts for the differences? But following my loss they've been 12-15 days.
@CClark2014 - I actually started temping after my loss (when I was emotionally ready -about 2.5 weeks after the bleeding started) to see if I could catch ovulation. Not because we were trying but because I wanted to figure out if I was ovulating and if I could tell when my period would come. I didn't pick up any ovulation that cycle but my period did come and then my cycles started again.
@m6agua wow, big congrats to you and best wishes!! I really hope these BFPs are contagious!!!!
@reneeannemm , my CD buddy, I have also had strange post period emotions. I usually feel quite good once the floodgates have closed but this cycle I feel worried, defeated (before we've even hit the fertile window), not to mention weird headaches, cramps and fatigue. I have to confess that it was all so weird that this morning I took a HPT....of course it was BFN but I just couldn't shake the feeling that maybe I had been pregnant...I guess I'll never know if the HCG just fell really quickly, and chances are I wasn't pregnant, but still - what a weird cycle. Ugh.
H and I both 30 TTC #1 started Aug 2014 BFP Apr 3 2015 natural M/C April 20 2015 @ 6w6d BFP Nov 18 2015 natural M/C Nov 23 2015 @ 5w4d.
Anyone else symptom spotting like a crazy person? What are you tweaking on? My newest obsession is trying to make my BBTs make sense on my chart. I have been sleeping with my mouth open a lot and have a lot of temps taken with less than a 3 hour block so I'm convincing myself that's why my chart doesn't show a shift despite not 1 but 2 LH surges, the 2nd of which was 2 days ago and I think I may have actually O'd that time...
@catiecatp Thank you. I'm scared of that, too. When we got our BFP I was paralyzed with fear, had vivid nightmares every night and thought constantly of miscarriage, but then everything was fine and I was knocked out with pregnancy symptoms and everyone said it's going to be fine. It wasn't, but it didn't happen like in any of my nightmares.
@BornReady Yes, yes, thank you. I'm feeling a bit lighter, but maybe that's because I chopped off a foot of my hair yesterday! I always do something like that when I'm grieving. I had hair down to the small of back and I shaved a quarter of it off a few months after my best friend died - it's freeing and I love it. I am here. I am present and I will help anyone in any way I can.
@cooaladoll Today will definitely be better, even though I woke up and found a cat had knocked my sprouts down and ruined half of them. I will replant them; there is plenty of time.
@megsbrock Ok, that's so weird and I'm so glad you're my cycle buddy because I've been having weird headaches, cramps and fatigue too. I figure the fatigue is because I'm an insomniac and I'm still learning how to be a full human again after loss, but the headaches and the cramps are bumming me the heck out. We will get through this cycle together, one day at a time.
@CClark2014 I'm very sorry for you loss. Welcome. As for your question, I did chart. I started the day following my second dose of misoprostol (Two days after it started). I wanted to see if there was any pattern I could record, I wanted the sense of control and I wanted to get back into the habit because I don't sleep well and it's difficult for me to chart well without adjusting to that schedule.

@reneeannemm and @catiecatp When DH and I got back to TTC again I was terrified of getting another BFP and was scared I wouldn't be able to handle being pregnant again because of the fear of losing another baby. I talked with my therapist about it a lot and we did some EMDR work on it. I still have more to do when I'm back from vacation, but now when I think about seeing a future BFP I feel excited and not scared. If you haven't tried EMDR I would highly recommend it. Also, when I feel the most anxious, I've been reciting the serenity prayer to myself to remind me that I need to accept what I cannot change, that whatever will happen will happen and worrying won't make it any better.

1. Hello all! I think I'm ready to introduce myself here. The hubs and I are both 30. We decided on our 4 year wedding anniversary (together 10 1/2 total) in November that we were finally ready to start trying. He has always wanted to and I took me a long time to come around to it. I had my IUD removed, an anovulatory cycle in December and then we got our BFP Jan 22. I am high risk from PCOS, extensive LEEP, endo and hypothyroid so we were seen very early. Has u/s at 6 and 7 weeks both on track and good heart beat. 2/29 we went in for a scan at 9 weeks and were blindsided by no further heartbeat even though baby had grown exactly 2 weeks in size in the same amount of time. I had a d&c 3/2.
2. We are currently benched until my 2 week post op check on st pattys day, but plan on getting back to trying as soon as we can. My doctor seems to encouraging trying soon rather than waiting. I started back temping this week and am watching it slowly decline daily. Hoping it means my hormones get back to normal soon. I had almost no bleeding post op so I think things are progressing quickly
3. My rant right now is people being real insensitive about their topics on conversation. All 3 of my medical assistants are guys with 6 month old daughters and were trying to show me videos of them nonstop this week. Not ready for that yet. Thanks a lot for making me run out in tears in front of you.
4. deciding to try brought us closer than I expected and this has helped even more. We are so much better about expressing emotions to each other instead of trying to manage them solo. We both feel so lost on how to try and hit the reset button on the whole life we had planned around October 4th that we wouldn't make it without each other.
Hate finding all of us here but glad to be a part of such a great support system. Sorry for the long intro rant.

1. Intro: We just had our 3rd loss and 6th pregnancy. I have three awesome kids and a pretty great husband. My 3rd pregnancy was an early natural m/c. My 5th was a mmc and D&C at about 12 weeks and 6th was a mmc around 10 weeks. Just got home from this D&C.
2. We are definitely benched! I'll see my doctor in two weeks and talk about some RPL testing. Not sure when we will be ready to TTC again because my feelings are so up and down on it right now.
3. Rants/Raves: Rave- this weather! Rant- the nausea seriously can go now!
4. DH and I have grown closer through our losses and hard times- we've had our share during the last few years.
2. Status: WTO, I am CD10. Took a digital OPK today and got my first high fertility reading this cycle, so that is in my favor. If this cycle is similar to the cycle prior to my loss, then I am expecting to O on St. Patrick's Day. DH has to work late the next 2 days so BDing might not happen til Monday but that should still be fine... I hope.
3. Raves: I got to spend ALL last night with the teens from my church doing a lock-in at an indoor sports field. Had a blast playing kickball with them... I haven't played that in probably over ten years. Small Rant: I felt like my ovaries were the size of golf balls. Running bases was a little uncomfortable because they felt so heavy. Has anyone else experienced this right before ovulation?
4. DH has been really great in supporting me since the loss. There are times that I feel he really didn't get a chance to grieve because he was trying to be strong for me, especially when I would cry uncontrollably. I can see that is is sometimes hard for him to talk about ttc. This will be our first cycle ttc since the loss and I have asked a few times if he is ready and the only answer I get is that if I'm ready, he's ok with it. I really want him to be ready and not just "ok with it". But maybe that is too much to ask of a man, lol. God forbid there is some emotion behind it. But, maybe that is his way of protecting himself. Overall, I think the whole experience has brought us closer together because I had to lean on him more for support. I am now better at telling him what is going on with me emotionally and physically. And I feel like he tells me more about what is going on with him... he is by no means an open book but he does tell me more than he used to.

I mentioned this in my intro, but as horrible as our MC was/is, hearing my DH say that it made him realize how much he is wanting a child, was such a huge turning point for him. I cannot wait to see him as a father.

I really hope these BFPs are contagious!!!!
@reneeannemm , my CD buddy, I have also had strange post period emotions. I usually feel quite good once the floodgates have closed but this cycle I feel worried, defeated (before we've even hit the fertile window), not to mention weird headaches, cramps and fatigue. I have to confess that it was all so weird that this morning I took a HPT....of course it was BFN but I just couldn't shake the feeling that maybe I had been pregnant...I guess I'll never know if the HCG just fell really quickly, and chances are I wasn't pregnant, but still - what a weird cycle. Ugh.

My newest obsession is trying to make my BBTs make sense on my chart. I have been sleeping with my mouth open a lot and have a lot of temps taken with less than a 3 hour block so I'm convincing myself that's why my chart doesn't show a shift despite not 1 but 2 LH surges, the 2nd of which was 2 days ago and I think I may have actually O'd that time...
TTCAL: January 2016
@BornReady Yes, yes, thank you. I'm feeling a bit lighter, but maybe that's because I chopped off a foot of my hair yesterday! I always do something like that when I'm grieving. I had hair down to the small of back and I shaved a quarter of it off a few months after my best friend died - it's freeing and I love it. I am here. I am present and I will help anyone in any way I can.
@cooaladoll Today will definitely be better, even though I woke up and found a cat had knocked my sprouts down and ruined half of them. I will replant them; there is plenty of time.
@megsbrock Ok, that's so weird and I'm so glad you're my cycle buddy because I've been having weird headaches, cramps and fatigue too. I figure the fatigue is because I'm an insomniac and I'm still learning how to be a full human again after loss, but the headaches and the cramps are bumming me the heck out. We will get through this cycle together, one day at a time.
@CClark2014 I'm very sorry for you loss. Welcome. As for your question, I did chart. I started the day following my second dose of misoprostol (Two days after it started). I wanted to see if there was any pattern I could record, I wanted the sense of control and I wanted to get back into the habit because I don't sleep well and it's difficult for me to chart well without adjusting to that schedule.

2. We are currently benched until my 2 week post op check on st pattys day, but plan on getting back to trying as soon as we can. My doctor seems to encouraging trying soon rather than waiting. I started back temping this week and am watching it slowly decline daily. Hoping it means my hormones get back to normal soon. I had almost no bleeding post op so I think things are progressing quickly
3. My rant right now is people being real insensitive about their topics on conversation. All 3 of my medical assistants are guys with 6 month old daughters and were trying to show me videos of them nonstop this week. Not ready for that yet. Thanks a lot for making me run out in tears in front of you.
4. deciding to try brought us closer than I expected and this has helped even more. We are so much better about expressing emotions to each other instead of trying to manage them solo. We both feel so lost on how to try and hit the reset button on the whole life we had planned around October 4th that we wouldn't make it without each other.
Hate finding all of us here but glad to be a part of such a great support system. Sorry for the long intro rant.

1. Intro: We just had our 3rd loss and 6th pregnancy. I have three awesome kids and a pretty great husband. My 3rd pregnancy was an early natural m/c. My 5th was a mmc and D&C at about 12 weeks and 6th was a mmc around 10 weeks. Just got home from this D&C.
2. We are definitely benched! I'll see my doctor in two weeks and talk about some RPL testing. Not sure when we will be ready to TTC again because my feelings are so up and down on it right now.
3. Rants/Raves: Rave- this weather! Rant- the nausea seriously can go now!
4. DH and I have grown closer through our losses and hard times- we've had our share during the last few years.

3. Raves: I got to spend ALL last night with the teens from my church doing a lock-in at an indoor sports field. Had a blast playing kickball with them... I haven't played that in probably over ten years.
Small Rant: I felt like my ovaries were the size of golf balls. Running bases was a little uncomfortable because they felt so heavy. Has anyone else experienced this right before ovulation?
4. DH has been really great in supporting me since the loss. There are times that I feel he really didn't get a chance to grieve because he was trying to be strong for me, especially when I would cry uncontrollably. I can see that is is sometimes hard for him to talk about ttc. This will be our first cycle ttc since the loss and I have asked a few times if he is ready and the only answer I get is that if I'm ready, he's ok with it. I really want him to be ready and not just "ok with it". But maybe that is too much to ask of a man, lol. God forbid there is some emotion behind it. But, maybe that is his way of protecting himself.
Overall, I think the whole experience has brought us closer together because I had to lean on him more for support. I am now better at telling him what is going on with me emotionally and physically. And I feel like he tells me more about what is going on with him... he is by no means an open book but he does tell me more than he used to.
