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

Hello, I think I'm ready to join... I lost my last pregnancy at about 7 weeks in july, have finally found it in me to start ttc over Xmas. Am 6dpo according to opk and temps, but don't feel pg at all. Will check in soon as the situation changes. Fingers crossed for some good luck for us all.

Hi, can I join this thread? Had an early mc yesterday (6 weeks) and totally devastated. Obviously very early days but want to start ttc straight away. Not sure if this possible but any advice or previous experience (and a shoulder to cry on) would really help.

Oh MrsA you really have been through the mill haven't you! I hope that's all your bad luck out of the way so you get aBFP and trouble free pg soon.

So after 72 days of waiting since my ERPC I think AF has finally arrived. I have never been so relieved to see her. Happy Friday all!

What a bad run of it you've had MrsA

I had a hospital appointment today and HCG has taken a huge drop to 90...but still have to wait till it hits 0 b efore ttc again. Next blood test in 2 weeks.

My skin is really oily and spotty which usually means AF is on the way.

Looks like we won't be ttc till after Christmas. On the bright side I will be able to guzzle Baileys on Christmas day Wink

hi everyone! how are you all doing? It's been a bad few weeks for the Anderson household! my son had glandular fever and tonsillitis, then my daughter ended up in 2 different hospitals at the same time! her with flu and respiratory problems and me with flu, chest infection and a cyst burst and bled in my right ovary causing acute abdominal pain they suspected was appendicitis! so, I was discharged last night, my daughter just today so we're getting back to normal and will be ttc as soon as I have got rid of this flu!! still no sign of AF since my mc :(

hope all is well, where are we with ttc? 2ww? xx

hi ladies, sorry haven't been on for a while! ds had glandular fever and tonsillitis, and is also recovering from a post viral rash which covered his entire body including soles of feet and palms of hands! scary stuff!

anyway, I am still waiting for AF to appear, have no idea when that will be :/ xx

And I know what you mean about thinking twice as I am the same with DD. She had a run of not sleeping/tantrums/wetting herself (aftet being dry for about 6 weeks) recently and I thought maybe just as well

HollyBen · 16/11/2013 21:59

Thanks callingallengels. I haven't had any checks done - Tuesday will be my first to gp (except to get sick note). I got my first BFN after 3 weeks to assume hcg levels have dropped.

CallingAllEngels · 16/11/2013 20:03

Have they checked your HCG Holly ? Now I know that it's finally going down and may take a month or so I feel like I can just relax a bit (even though I feel like my clock is ticking!). I don't feel pg anymore which a bonus.

Plus DS is being a real terror at the moment re: sleeping (the terrible 2's) so it's actually making me feel like I'd be nuts to have another one right now when the one I have is drigin me crazy and keeping me up half the night!

Good luck Tuesday.

HollyBen · 16/11/2013 17:58

I'm not really expecting the gp to be much use tbh lucy but at least I'll feel like I'm doing something. I had 10 days of little amounts of bloodu cm which had stopped but just seen some again so who knows. l'll keep you posted on gp

lucyfluff · 16/11/2013 16:57

Urgh holly you poor thing Sad thats so frustrating. I wonder what the GP actually does if it is too much longer?? Good luck when you go and let us know how you get on x

My AF has been evil Angry im not going to complain though lol Grin

HollyBen · 16/11/2013 12:43

I'm so sorry MrsA and nelly for your losses. Sending you cyber hugs Thanks

cheesysmile · 11/11/2013 16:02

Hi ladies, sorry not checked in for a while, so sorry for your loses. I hope you all have sticky beans very soon.

MrsA how are you doing? Sorry your son is not well, must all be very stressful. Remember to take care of yourself.

lucyfluff · 08/11/2013 07:39

Thanks for replying! It's so frustrating isn't it hollyben :( My GP rang yesterday morning and said the same thing about waiting up to 8weeks and she was not worried in the slightest. I'm going to test once a week just to check but not feeling pregnant yet.

Hope your turns up soon too holly :)

HollyBen · 07/11/2013 21:30

lucyfluff I had a mc at 9 weeks followed by an ERPC on 11th Sept. It took 3 weeks for me to get a BFN and I am still waiting for AF to turn up - over 8 weeks now. I am going crazy waiting. I have never ever wanted AF to turn up more. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

Sorry to hear your news NellyOC xx
