TTC after MC - nice people in crap times, full of posifrickingtivity

Congrats choc!

Gruff I am someone who got preg after MC but before AF totally agree best to keep note of any dates eg date you get a bfn, date you have sex first etc

I had my booking in appt this week and went for a scan as they wanted to establish dates - measured 10 weeks and saw heartbeat..... Of two of them, yep it's twins.....already thought this has been a journey and a half never even thought f this happening.

best of luck to those testing soon and those waiting to recover x

Well I'm on day 17 of an average of 27 day cycle and still no dark line on the OPK. Im getting annoyed now!

PS I hate posting on my phone as I always forget who saud what- sorry! Bakingtins- it must be frustrating thinking everything looks ok and not having a reason for your mc xx

Thank you so much for all the congratulations! If I'm brave enough I'll test again tomorrow. I'm just worried because it's still early, and I used a FR, so might get a bfn if I test using my tesco one tomorrow! Like I said before, not getting too excited and still checking knickers.

Choc- finally a definitive answer, woop woop! Congrats!

Fod- sorry to hear about your brothers appointment. The waiting is the very worst. Nothing else to add... Life can be shit xxx

Just catching up on fertile Friday - fab fab news blackholes and choc!! Xx

Me to Choc. If she is PG, then in 17 years she could be attempting to wrangle a really foul teenager like mine. I wouldnt wish that in anyone! it cant be that bad, I want another one!

Too drunk to add anything sensible other than arf arf to the yoni!

Guff - I think I ov'd towards the end of bleeding ( EWCM and a twingey ovary) so I'd start ttc - ing once you've stopped bleeding/feel like it.
Bfn came a couple of days after so I don't think you need bfn before you ov. That's just my experience though, but basically see what ov symptoms you get and DTD as much as you can. Good luck

Yoni ( Saggy?) - I have been thinking about her all day, really hope she just had a late ov, poor thing

Aww, bless! I have been that teenage girl staring at the PG tests. a long long time ago It's bloody scary!

Yay choc and blackholes!! Bugger liesl, but it's not over yet. Bad luck Martha. Hugs.
Fod that is all completely rubbish. The world is really a crappy place sometimes and isn't fair at all. I'm sure the lump in your leg is nothing to worry about though.
Guff, yay for the end of bleeding. I was also told to wait for first af. I think that was cos of the mifepristone pill I had for the medical management. I did lots of my own research though and decided that it was only necessary to wait two weeks, which conveniently was the end of bleeding anyway. Didn't work out that first month anyway , but it does for lots of people. Fx for you

Thanks for the advice, am feeling more positive about getting back on the TTC rollercoaster already...

So once you get a BFN after MC how long can you expect to ovulate after that?

fod that is awful your poor brother

Thanks for the nice comments guys...it really is appreciated, thunder im on the same boat huni so we can be partners in crime! Let's aim for June? For a BFP

Congrats to choc and black

My brother got to the train station this morning to recieve a phone call informing him that his appointment had been cancelled as his dr was off sick!!!! Hope it's nothing serious or terminal he is left in limbo now as he was on chemo and has been told to take a week off after his MRI and now he doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing! Bloody NHS

guff when I was MC-ing I obsessively googled and got lots of stories of BFP's with no issues before first.
Re getting in the mood: I told DH we had no chance of getting pg so this was "just for fun" which got him in the mood then.
He has said since that he felt like a sperm machine on the "ov day" and much preferred the practise runs before and after (yes I have lied to him about how it all works bless him)

and i know loads of people from the other thread i was on who got PG in the WTF cycle - seriously it happens all the time.

As for getting in the mood, just be prepared that the first time you DTD you may both be a bit emotional, me and DH were both times but got ourselves through it

aww guff come 'ere

First of all congratulations on the last of the bleeding, i have been through this twice and remember only too well the despair of going through the MC and having the constant flow of bleeding to remind you. Sooo, in answer to your question, we started TTC straight away again both times without waiting for AF. My GP said the only reason they say to wait until after next AF is so they can work out the dates.

If you get PG during the WTF cycle, then they will just have to guess your dates from roughly the time of the MC. So keep a note of your dates, when you started MCing (as if you would forget ) and when you stopped bleeding (today - hoorah). I would recommend you do a cheap test to see when you get your BFN, you might still have pregnancy hormones in your system which would show a BFP. So if you can bear it then do some cheapo tests every day and note down when you get the first BFN

And masses of good luck. So sorry you are in this position x

Hi all, am trying to get to know you all but it may take some time, sorry about all the ups and downs you've had but you all seem to get each other through.

Fod sorry to see you are having an extra crap time

Am glad to see some BFPs to keep everyone going, congrats chocs and blackholes (thunder I'm pretty sure if you invented the system it will have to work for you soon!)

So today is a sort of good day, after what has felt like a lifetime of continuous bleeding through the miscarriage and then EPRC I have finally STOPPED BLEEDING, horray. The irony is now I will desperately await more bleeding to know AF is back.

So a couple of questions which I'm sure they've been covered before. When they say no trying before AF turns up (my gynae actually said to wait 2x AF but there is no way that is happening) do any of you bother using contraception before it comes? Would it really matter if I by some miracle got PG before AF?

Oh yeah and how on earth do you get in the mood post MC to DTD?!

Thunder that's an impressive drop in levels - your BFP is getting closer. Stay positive! X

Aw thunder, I'm sending you a hug, and i totally agree with choc. Will you PLEASE have a bottle of red wine for me tonight? Pleeeease? Appletiser just doesn't do it on a friday xx

Ahh choc! I will try and take some sort of sneaky personal achievement all these bfps! I really am thrilled for everyone, just having an ungracious spoilt brat moment.

Blood results are in, I'm down to 6.1 after 4 weeks. Obviously not low enough but going in the right direction (I was over 15 in Feb, and 7 last December). Hoping to speak to a doc this afternoon as to whether my med levels should be raised.

Sorry af came martha and still hooray for the bfps!

Thunder - look at it this way - think how much good Karma you are storing up from all these BFP's - all due to the Fertile Friday system, think of the £££'s you've saved us by making everyone wait until Friday to POAS well maybe not me
and for you

What goes around, comes around I think - you are def due some good vibes soon

Get in choc and blackholes that is awesome news! I love fertile fridays!!

Mine not so today as AF arrived but i am ok about it. I have decided to be on it like a car bonnet next month and already starting to work out my fertile days. And i promise promise not to test until fertile friday!

choc i actually felt for the teenage girl, i hope it all works out for her and all is ok. My friend always said it was shit that we spent our young years doing all we can to avoid getting PG then in our (well my - she didnt want children) 30's all these shitty things just happen to stop us carrying a bubba

Aaanyway - FX for sticky beans and safe healthy pregnancies

See you in a week as am off now x

tins I'm ringing for my results this afternoon - if they're back and the secretary will give them to me! Phone appt next Friday with the doc to discuss them.

Congrats to choc and blackholes!

liesl you're not out yet. Stay away, witch.

Anyone else testing?

Not sure about how this works- you come up with a system to get bfps and you're the one left at the end of it all without one!!

Hooray choc and blackholes and sorry for the bfn liesl, fx it's too early and you'll get it shortly (don't tell thunder)
