I'm roughly 2DPO by OPKs and am having the most intense cramping. I'm stirring myself into a tizzy that I didn't actually O since I didn't temp this cycle. I had intense cramps and O pains up until suspected O, which is normal for me, but if I had these cramps later I'd be expecting implantation. At 2DPO, I'm sitting here worrying it's a cyst or no O or anything D: any experiences with this level of cramping after O?
It can all be so mind boggling can’t it TP!
Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend

HGMama - 105 doesn't sound too bad, are you doing another blood draw soon? I bet the next one it will have gone down a lot further. You're getting there!
TP - hmmm that's odd!! Unfortunately I have no idea - I don't really get cramps before, during or after O or during implantation. Or during AF or my miscarriages even! It's kinda odd. I also have a pretty large cyst on my right ovary right now and don't feel that either!
Hgmama that number sounds like your hcg is falling nicely and agree they should continue dropping pretty quickly now. Not long to go [emoji173]
Gafan did you end up having an attempt cd18?

Mine was 146 around 10 or 11 days post D&C and one week later it was 25. 6 days after that AF arrived and I still had a +HPT on a FRER but it was really light. RE told me it was normal to get AF with just a small amount of HCG left in the system because the progesterone can fall before the HCG is completely cleared out, causing AF to start. So my thought is you could see AF within the next couple of weeks. FX!Quote:

This was totally NOT planned - I do not want to get pregnant this cycle and now I'm completely terrified that we will. I've been taking wondfo opks the past few days only b/c I wanted to know what's going on w/ my cycle and when I ovulate, and up through this afternoon they are still negative, but I'm terrified I'm going to O in the next couple of days giving us a very good shot at getting pregnant (I'm super fertile - usually get pregnant on the first try and have gotten pregnant w/1 attempt more than once now). I'm also terrified b/c DH abstained for 7 days (also very unintentional) and with our m/c history and him turning 35 this summer I'm SO worried if we do get pregnant baby will not be healthy and/or we'll just be headed for another m/c. I had a good cry this afternoon and DH is trying to calm me down. I just totally lost my head last night for a few minutes - which I never do when it comes to this! Our baby-making has always been so careful and planned out. Been praying throughout the day and trying to leave it all up to God but I'm so upset with myself. DH keeps telling me if it happens and baby sticks then it's meant to be.
Ugh. Anyways... So I may be joining you guys in the tww in a few days from now.. But not happily :'(

Gafan yes I'd stop using opks if they've faded out and you're doing e4d. Ideally we'll see a spike in temp tomorrow.

Hgmama I'm not 100% sure but I think it took about 3 or 4 weeks for my levels to drop right back down. I recall having three blood tests (weekly) and the last was an 8? So it would've dropped to below 5 a few days after I imagine.

Hmmm that actually may have a chance of being pos tomorrow but then you wouldn't ovulate until Monday or Tuesday. Best to wait and see how tomorrows opk looks. No use speculating and worrying about something that may not happen.

Hey ABC hope things go your way but if u do get preg its meant to be! These things happen for a reason. Dont kick yourself over itz
My hubby is 35 and we did unintentional abstain of 7 days as he was ill and then our positive opk came, so did out attempt which made me preg. It is a worry that abstain causes baby issues esp with my history but im praying all is well. We have to leave things down to the One Above /fate and watch what happens.
As a girl still on pelvic rest.... ugh.... I'm not going to lie.... sooooooo jealous you got some.Quote:

This is with a small amount of SMU, 2 hour hold. Thinking it will be clearly positive this afternoon.
Going to be an interesting next couple of weeks...

i believe we make our own plans but the one Above makes better plans ☺️!
Ahhh, that cheapie would make me nervous too. Lol, well stress can delay ovulation and you're already doing that?! I do want to stress: no batch of semen is completely imperfect fyi. Even my own husband with his cluster**** of sperm still has popped out a good one occasionally! So I know that we with RPL and GD have this complex batch of emotions: fear and anxiety over loss, than fear and anxiety over the gender (and sometimes in reverse priority, which I admit is true in my case still). But you could still get that good sperm, and it could still be that good X!Quote:

I'm crossing my fingers for you. I know I've been in your place before and have gotten pregnant, and had a loss. But I'm also exceptionally unlucky, and I refuse to believe you will fall into the same misfortune as me!
@praying4girl: As for the "someone makes better plans," I'm happy that some of you can believe that if it helps you. Just please know that those comments can come off as insensitive for those of us with loss. Hearing that the unbearable pain I've been through losing 10 babies is somehow ordained is quite hurtful.
Abc i hope it will happen what is the best for u...:pray::heart:

Sorry if it came across insenstive as i was not referring to the losses at all. I was talking if it were to lead to a pregnancy for ABc.
I have been through alot of losses, one at 3 weeks old so I for sure know not to be insensitive about my comments intentionally.
I definitely didn't think it was intentional! :)Quote:

Thanks, friends. All of your support and care is so important to me and I'm very grateful for all of you!!!
Digital is still negative with afternoon urine and Wondfo is about the same as this morning's. I think it's looking more unlikely to happen. Given that I usually ovulate 1-2 days (and sometimes longer) after +OPK, and we're already 40+ hours from the attempt, the odds are going to be low. Not impossible, but low, and I'm praying and hoping that if it happens, it was just meant to be, and that it will result in a healthy baby girl. Right now I'm just watching and waiting and trying not to drive myself crazy in the meantime!! LOL easier said than done.
Wow that's getting close Abc...

Mummy2boys even though it's still early days temp wise when I look at your chart I straight away think 'pregnant!' Gosh I hope it's true fx fx fx!!!
Noemi that's alot of spotting... has it completely stopped now? Have you had an extended period like that before?
Emshe that spotting cd24!! Could easily be implantation related fx fx fx!!! I noticed you didn't have any spotting post o last cycle [emoji6]
Gafan I think its possible you may be 1 or 2dpo?? Sundays temp is an open circle, did you take it earlier than usual?

That opk looks pretty close abc! Try not to worry about it, like you say only a low chance but I have everything crossed for you that if it did happen, it's your sticky baby girl 🤞
Haha thanks pbn, I've not got my hopes up as feeling really crampy (like period type dragging sensations) that I usually get around this time in my cycle. Still in with a chance though I guess. I actually don't mind so much if it's not my month as I've put so much weight on since giving up the diet! I need to get back on it, just got no willpower [emoji23]
Emshe, you and me are very close on our dpo! I imagine we'll be testing at the same time! Exciting 🤞

Thanks u so so much for your messge Mommy2apples, actually touched me deeply and meant alot. I understand not everyone has a faith or belief but especially after losing my dS1 the Lord has got me where I am today.i have family and friends around me but it is Him that i can talk to and open my heart to, lighten the heavy burdern i feel at times, missing my baby so much.
All of us here are on a similar journey, yearning for a child (whichever way that may be) and i know most of us have had great losses on the way, i just believe if A life is meant to come into this world, then it will no matter what we may plan in our heads.

I don’t know if I can ever find a balance whilst I keep on this journey I’ve been on for years.
Our 2015 angel [emoji72] birthday should be next month, and then our recent successful baby girl HT loss [emoji72] should be due in July. Plus the transfers that didn’t take, they all carry heartache all the time, but dates on a calendar really make their mark.
Is it time to concede defeat, to give up in clomid, just let go of swaying?
Is my body even capable anymore?
Life isn’t real happy around here and I know that weighs heavily on me & I suffer from anxiety and depression somewhat now. Maybe it’s time to get on top of that so I can be more the mum my boys deserve & get the happy back in all our relationships, not just the clinging to it will all be great once we have our girl. A notion that seems it may never come.
I’m sorry to burden you all with such heaviness but please know if I do disappear I am doing some soul searching, lots of crying & perhaps smashing a bag of crisps, some ice cream &/or chocolate for a day or 2, & then torturing myself with guilt [emoji51].
But if I’m not here, please know that I am still 100% thinking of you ladies fighting for your dreams & hoping beyond hope that you indeed get your happily ever after, you all deserve that xoxo thank you for hoping the same for me the last 2 months, it has meant the world [emoji847]
I may try in June, but I don’t know what I should do regarding the clomid, maybe 25mg would be more successful?

Oh honey, I am so sorry you're feeling all of that. I definitely understand completely and have thought this so many times. Please feel free to PM me if you ever want to talk. I know the "ghost" birthdays really weight heavy. Our next missed EDD is our wedding anniversary next month (and the last one was my birthday in February), and then literally it's almost nonstop loss due dates until 2019, including of our two XYs we transferred and lost. It's all so hard when even those days get bogged down in grief.Quote:

It's so hard to know, and obviously we can't base our decisions off of what happened with other people. It's just so hard when we want something so bad and don't know if it's our own selves getting in our way of happiness :(
I'm here for you <3
Hugs to you, emshe. And try to skip the self torture after chocolate and chips. Be kind to yourself as you make these difficult decisions.Quote:

Making these decisions are so so difficult but take each day as it comes and see how you feel. Like PP said maybe some time away for your mind/body to relax is what may help get your happy ending as i too have heard people get pregnant once they have ‘given up’ . Its an exhausting process, wishing you the best of health xx
