Ttc after an early miscarriage, any advice appreciated

hi everyone, my husband and I were delighted we'd conceived baby #3 3 months after having my mirena removed. Unfortunately I miscarried at around 6 weeks, my bleeding started on 6th July and ended on 15th July, my hcg levels never got above 143 so they left my system pretty quick, by the 18th I was having bfn at the drs. I wondered when should I expect my AF? before the mc I was always 28 days bang on! I have had no symptoms for AF, although I have had really bad heartburn for 4 days, this was my first symptom last time too, so could I be pregnant? I'm useless at working out dates and cycles and ovulation etc..... we bd'd on 15th July and have been pretty consistently b'ding every other night since then with the exception of a couple of days. when should a test show bfp given all these dates? thanks for taking the time to read, hope someone has some advice for me x

Keeping my FX for you Mrs RV. Have a lovely weekend away.

cheesysmile · 05/09/2013 18:35

MrsA that sounds a bit like a bug I had a couple of weeks ago. Really bad cramps and feeling sick but no V&D like you would expect. It was horrid! Hope you feel better soon, rest up.

MrsRV · 05/09/2013 18:33

Oh god that sounds awful, you might have a virus or something - especially as u said hubby had been poorly too? Well I've had cramps all day & been pant watching. No more bleeding.... YET. Cramps are quite bad though so defo think AF is going to show up. Still tempted to do a digi test but no time to go out & get one now! We're away this weekend and I'm totally unorganised. Will take forever to pack. Booooooo.

woke up this morning in absolute agony! got the kids off to school and had to lie on my bed, cold, sweating, shivering and crying! cramps were sooooo sore, never felt pain as bad since having gallstones! anyway I figure I'm constipated which NEVER happens to me as I have ibs and everything, I mean everything makes me have diarrhoea so this was a shock! still haven't gone but have no pains now.

so today, I have been sneezing non stop, must be coming down with something and still have that dragging feeling in my abdomen, can't get an appointment til next week :(

MrsRV, hope you're ok, think positive :D

I'm terrified of every change in my body since my mc, it's driving me nuts!!

Ahh MrsRV, hope you're ok. Just need to wait and see which way it goes I guess ... thinking of you.

Hope it goes OK at the docs MrsA.

Nothing to report here, still in the boring bit ...

MrsRV · 05/09/2013 06:59

Mrs A, hope its ok, sounds horrible. Early preggers symptom!?!

My line is there again this morning but faint... And when I wiped after having a wee there was pinky blood. AF is due tomorrow so could well be a day early. Pissed off again now. Hmm

MrsAnderson22 · 05/09/2013 01:34

no idea either :( going to make a Dr's appointment tomorrow to get it checked out, heartburn is back the last few days with a vengeance so will get my lansoprazole prescribed again, if it's safe for ttc that is!

I've been feeling crampy all day again, not sharp cramps though, more like heavy/pressure above public bone. not due AF til 13th but feels like it's coming in a couple of hours!!, feel full all the time too, sick of the waiting already :/ it's way too early for AF symptoms and waaay too early for pregnancy symptoms just need to know what this feeling is, never had it before! imagine you're lying down and have a ball sitting on your abdomen...that's what its feels like, constant, not coming and going...

Fingers crossed big time for you MrsRV. How exciting for you.

Ive been off line all week. Nothing new to report from me, I was sure AF was about to hit a few days ago, I had that dragging/sluggish feeling for a day. But no sign yet. Im only cd23, awaiting first af since mc so still early days for me.

MrsRV · 04/09/2013 20:31

Hmmm... We'll see!!

MrsAnderson22 · 04/09/2013 20:17

I'll be checking in tomorrow to see how you got on but seems pretty positive to me Wink

Omg ladies I'm so sorry to leave u hanging! I did actually post but it hasn't shown up!

It basically said, reluctant to spend a million pounds on a test & then ended up with no time to get 1 anyway! Will wait til morning to see if line gets darker. I tested yesterday after posting and had 2 x faint lines & same today. Hubby says defo a line there so I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining it!

Post ended with MrsA, you know what this means don't you!?! Grin

cheesysmile · 04/09/2013 18:20

greeneone from first day of mc my cycle was 37 days. I then had AF for 3 days from last Thursday, 3rd day pretty light, but think that's fine. Sounds like you have had AF to me ... we're probably in a similar place now, couple of days apart. I don't think ovulation is based on how long your AF is so your app should be good, but you can always use opks to help you identify ovulation. I'm going to start using them from CD 10 I think, so this Saturday.

MrsRV ... you're killing me, have you done a digi or are you waiting for FMU tomorrow?

MrsAnderson22 · 04/09/2013 16:37

Green one welcome! Sounds like an AF to me xx

MrsAnderson22 · 04/09/2013 13:12

hi, my first AF after mc was only 3 days long, pretty heavy but not heavier than normal. my AF Is always every 28 days, lasts 3 days and is heavy from beginning to end so it was a pretty normal AF to me.

good luck! fingers crossed for you :) xx
