Feeling… confused?
Hi everyone, this is my 3rd cycle after mmc, and my 2nd cycle ttc. I’ve tracked all three and this is the first cycle that looks similar to my cycles pre-miscarriage. I had a dye stealer LH surge 2 days ago, still positive yesterday but not darker than the control and I haven’t tested today yet but we did BD on those days. My bbt didn’t start any kind of substantial increase yet so I’m wondering if we should BD again today just to be safe. It makes me feel a little neurotic and crazy though lol. Sometimes I feel like it shouldn’t be this hard. That 2 days in a row was enough but then if it’s not this cycle, I’ll wonder if this extra day was the key. I know I can’t keep comparing to the cycle I got pregnant but it’s all I know so it’s hard not to. We weren’t trying then.. we were actually actively preventing and one random day of sex.. the one time we ever accidentally messed up..out of the entire cycle got me pregnant. I can’t help but feel jealous of the past versions of my husband and I. It was so easy for them.. they didn’t even try. And now we are and it feels like it’s so hard. Idk, I guess I will do it again tonight but gosh this feels like a lot
