Not sure if you remember me...But I had a loss in December. I had my d and c on Dec. 21st. Now 3 months later...my hcg is finally down to 2. (as of March 15th) and we've been given the go ahead to try again. I'm currently trying to ovulate according to my 3 positive OPK's. Which I totally don't understand. But I guess it's just a wonky cycle after the past 3 months. Not sure if it will happen or not Sorry I've been missing...wanting to make sure I was ttc again before I showed my face

Anyway...for those who don't remember me...I'm Amanda 32...(33 tomorrow) and I'm a stay at home mom to my beautiful kiddos Wyatt 2 1/2 years old and Natalie 15 months old. I've had 2 confirmed miscarriages one before Wyatt and this one after Nattie...and one in between that I believe was a chemical pregnancy but it was unconfirmed.

I hope everyone is doing well!!

I started a couple messages on Facebook to ask you how you were doing then the kids would need something and I would forget It has taken FOREVER for my HCG to drop down for some reason this time. The OB wouldn't do anything about it except tell me...sometimes it takes time...blah. We sooo need to be in the same DDC again!!

I remember you Amanda, welcome back to TTC! Have you changed brands of OPK since the last time you were using them? I went from one brand that would usually give me a + one night, then another one the next morning, and when I switched brands, now I'll get "almost positives" for maybe a day (I usually take 2-3 a day when I think I'm due for a +), then positives for two whole days, then an almost pos, then they'll start being negative again. Are you temping? I'd love to stalk you if you have a chart I don't see one in your siggie.

Thanks everybody!

Erin-I don't chart. I pee on the sticks and pray that we time it correctly I normally do not do another OPK after I see it's positive. But for some reason this time I had a few left and kept testing. It was First Response. I normally use the clear blue digital but hubby bought them. My CM dried up yesterday so I'm guessing yesterday was yesterday morning was when I dropped the egg. I don't know. I'm guessing this month won't be it because my body is probably tired of having HCG in it's system
