Hello again ladies,
So today CD 15 began .. My cervix was still very wet but not as soft( not as hard as AF time either)and slightly longer but not low, still really kind of high . I still have slight ly egg white cm but very little. Maybe a bit lt. tanish( the eggwhite part) but the rest of my cm is clear.. if that makes any sense... We have BD every night since cd 10 . Since this is my first real cyle since my miscarriage/d&c, I am a little nervous ..
Things just seem different this time around .. I have PCOS so my cycles are always a little wacky but come to think of it I am pretty sure that when I do get my period on my own, I ovulate very shortly after it ends . I guess I just wonder.. Since the spotting occured on CD 12, if I ovulated on CD 10 or 11 . The other odd thing is that for the past 4 days I feel extremely warm body temp wise, very tired and kind of sick to my stomache.. I know I am sensitive to hormonal changes, so it could be that.. I know it could be a virus.. but it does not feel like the flu or anything.. I feel so hopeful , although I promised myself that I would not . How do you guys deal with the TWW ? Do any of you feel sick after O ?
I almost feel like a TTC newbie, even though I have gone through fertility treatments and have 2 daughters.. Somehow losing my twins makes me feel like I am starting all over , almost like I am earning my spot in pregnancy and motherhood all over again.. Does that make sense? I am kind of expecting to have to go back to the doc for our planned IUI in november ( hubby has a mini deployment for a month in october) I am soo hoping that.. it works.. I think we bd enough to catch that egg if it was there to be caught , I took evening primrose at the start of my cycle to increase fertile cm ( it works so ell for me, normally I have almost none) and I started to take baby asprin 1 time a day . I kno I am doing all that I can and yet it feels like I should do more.. anyway.. Thanks for listening !! I am sure I will post more often now as well.. hope I don't drive you gusy crazy with my questions :-)

OK Were to start..

Were you temping of using OPK's? Or are you just going by the spotting that you had on CD12?

Since this is your first AF since your M/c.. You body might still be getting back on track with the spotting.. or it could be Ovulation spotting. But with out other forms of monitoring you can't be sure. Your cervix.. is giving a little confliting or whether you are fertile or not same with your CM.

Since you have PCOS.. I would highly suggest that you use OPK's and temp so you can get an idea of what your body is doing!

I can understand you feel like you are earning your wings.. HUGS

And my last question for you... Is why you are taking a baby aspirin?

Hello,
I don't use opk's because my hormones are to high and often give false positives so my RE said not to use them . The baby asprin I am taking because.. well.. Some say it helps with implantation, some say it helps prevent miscarriage.. Blood clotting disorders are a semi common reason for miscarriages, something I did nto know before.. My RE said it can't hurt to take it but he is kind of old school.. open to new ideas but he seemed like he was humoring me . We got the test results for my tins and along with finding out they were both boys, we also found out they were both chromosomally normal... The OB at the naval hospital said I had to have at least 1 more loss, if not more before they would test for clotthing disorders .. So I guess I figured if he said it would not hurt, since I don't know if I have one or not, it could not hurt and might help . :-) . With the body temp, I can't temp for charting because I have sleep issues that have gotton worse since my loss .. I wake up constantly, sleep very little .. but I always feel cool to the touch... and I jsut feel cool.. inside.. if that makes any sense.. my husband said I feel really warm, much more so then normal.. and even I say i feel warm . The day I had the most egg white CM ( and it was a lot that day ) as also the day that I had the spotting for less then a day . it was also the same day that my cervi was the highest,softest and most wet . Maybe 8 hours before that when I went to bed( if that long) I had a sharp pain as I was trying to fall asleep , in the same spot as I did when I did the injectable meds and the trigger shot and ovulated . following that I had minimal cramping . that stopped aroudn the same time the spotting stopped.. and the spotting was super light, could only see it on toilet paper.. So 100%, I can't say but it seems like the signs I normally get when I do ovulate.. Oh and I did have 1 period before this one since my MC but it was super heavy,super clotty and long.. This is just the first normal one I had or that I count as normal.. no pre or after spotting, normal legnth and so on.. Thanks for the advice :-)

Based on the signs you describe, and the lack of OPK or temp info, I'd say it is quite likely that you O'd with the event you just described. I would also notice when the EWCM dries up, that's probably a good sign it's over.

Have you ever tried temping? I know you're supposed to get a whole bunch of sleep before taking the temp, but it's not always necessary. Like if you take it at the same time each morning, after a couple of hours of sleep, that would probably work well. The only way to know for sure is to try and see if your chart is interpretable...

Good luck!!!

I have a clotting issue...And I am on a baby aspirin, With baby Aspirin you have to be careful taking it everyday. Aspirin has been linked to Leutinzing your eggs.. Meaning you will release a bad egg.
If you have a clotting issue.. You should take the Baby Aspirin Within 24 hours of ovulation... Unless told by your Dr.. Baby Aspirin is a blood thinner when taken every day.. so just be careful

As for temping the time of day is not as important as getting at least 3-4 hours sleep. I worked night shift for the 20 months we were trying.. so my temp was never taken at the same time any given day! Just make sure you have that "block of sleep" So if you know you wake up.. at 4 am.. and you got that block.. temp.

Good Luck... KUP!
