Hey, i'm really looking for some advice as i really feel i'm going crazy!!

I had a mmc 28th Feb at 11 weeks as my baby stopped growing at 6 weeks. I then went on to have an ERPC on 7th March, only bleed for 4 days so went on to ttc on 20th March. I should be due on my period today but no sign and negitive pregnancy tests :-( I have been having the following symptoms for the last 2 weeks:

tiredness
dizziness
wisdom teeth hurting
irritability (really snappy with hubby)
body feels horrible
fuzzy memory
clumsiness
weeing a lot more
just don't feel right
white non smelling discharge
tummy cramps for 3 days some constant

i haven't had these symptoms everyday but on and off although the dizziness has been there everyday for the past 4 days now.

Its been 4 weeks since my ERPC but only 17 since we had sex, I think i may need to wait til the weekend to get a positive result as that would then make it 3weeks since sex....you see how i might just be a going a bit crazy Yesterday and the day before i had some white discharge aswell, normally when i ovulate the discharge is clear and the ovulation sticks are negative so i'm definately not ovulating. I keep asking myself if i've really had/having these symptoms or whether its just all in my head?? Please can someone with a clear head and not in any danger of being a bit mental give me some sound advise????

Also base on an ovulation test (wasn't a clear positive) i ovulated around 13 days after erpc (didn't have any discharge tho) and we only had sex once that month.

Sorry for your loss. I've had three mmcs (and ERPCs) and one DD and I can confirm that it takes a while for your cycles to return to normal. You may not have ovulated yet, or you may be pregnant but it's too early to get a BFP. Please try to relax and stop analysing every sign - I know you probably just want to be pregnant again (I do!) but it can take time, especially after an ERPC. Good luck and you will get there in the end.

I'm sorry for your loss. Although going by a normal cycle your period might be due today, it does take longer after a miscarriage. I had my second one almost a year ago and it took not far short of six weeks to have a period again.
There's no way of knowing what is going on with your body in that first "cycle" after a miscarriage. Just wait for your period to come and then start the ovulation testing again. In the meantime your body is still getting back to normal. it is possible to conceive but I wouldn't bother doing any pregnancy testing until six weeks have passed since your erpc. If you haven't had a period by six weeks then get back in touch with the doctors.
