TTC After MC: The home of hopeful nipples, ovulation eyes and the most determined Mummawannabees around. Chin up, tits out!

English you can start taking the pill at any time within your cycle but I wonder if it would be better just to quit any supplements and wait.

I think we forget that herbal supplements can be bloody potent and are the key ingredient of many prescription medicines. I kept umming and ahhhing about taking stuff to help withTTC but ended up just taking a prenatal multivitamin and a liquid supplement with iron in it just incase all the bleeding from my mc had made me low. Then I left things alone.

I would hate for you to start messing around with things and put yourself back again. I know it is incredibly frustrating when you are stuck in limbo, have been there very recently myself, but your AF will arrive I promise you.

Thanks guys, I'm utterly furious with my shit body!
I'm tempted to try going on bc for a cycle to see if it can kick start things... Anyone know if I can do that despite not having AF? I have microgynon and you're supposed to start it on cd1.
Good luck on Monday MrsH, let us know how it goes.

Good luck with your scan on Monday MissH, I hope you get some reassurance. Keep us posted.

Well I got my smiley on the CB and a clear-as-day +ive on the IC as well! In fact it's the same as the last cycle I got pregnant, so I will be jumping on DH again tonight and then hoping for a repeat performance (though obviously with a better long-term outcome this time...).

Looks like we really can be tww and poas buddies this month sebs!

Everything crossed for you missh. I'm on day 3 of spotting now so I'm with you on this one. Let us know how it goes.

Happy TITH day sebs! Enjoy

Oh English that is so shit. If it makes you feel better you can get textbook peaks on the monitor, have sex at the right time and still not get pregnant . So don't feel like your body is crap. Keep taking your temps and monitoring your cm and it will probably tell you more than the CBFM.

Well TITH 1 completed . Would be great if it was our month but unfortunately my optimism disappeared an awfully long time ago.

Big hugs all round xx

Huge congratulations Boba and Lacey! I hope it's all plain sailing from here!

Sebs, go forth and TITH with maximum intent and productivity - really hope this is your month .

English, it's so frustrating when your body seems to be not playing ball. Fx things settle down soon.

MissH good luck with the scan - I can only imagine at the moment how scary it must be to be pg after an mc (it was terrifying enough before), but hopefully you will get some reassurance next week.

Wow congrats Boba and Lacey!!! Brilliant news. The rule is now that BFPs for this thread come in groupings of at least two, preferably more . Wishing you both the most boring, textbook pregnancies ever.

Good to see you MissH. Keeping everything crossed for your scan on Monday.

MissH no need to lurk. Stick around and share all your worries here. We don't want to scare you away, and you're in a frightening place of early days post mc. Hope your scan goes well on Monday. Let us know how you get on...

Congratulations Boba & Lacey!

Hope it's the most boring thing either of you do for the next 9 months!

I've been lurking as feel a bit of a fraud now there's possibly an actual baby inside me Not joined any pregnancy boards yet. Started spotting last Sunday and had a massive panic, running out of work and everything! Only ever Brown though and pretty much stopped now. GP got me booked into EPU for early scan at 6 weeks on Monday. Not accepting the pregnancy unless there's a viable blob come Monday really.

I agree with PP, no more pregnancy innocence here, up may be pregnant but I'm not envisioning a baby at the end if it yet!

Broody it's you and me babe! Is there a sub category for not ttc post mc but not ready to not obsess like a nutjob?

thanks broody

Have a nice day sebs

TITH = toad in the hole.

Silly question: I'm still trying to figure out the acronyms... What does TITH stand for?? I guess it means getting some action...

Oh yay! Congrats on the bfps ladies! And good luck with your TITH sebs, I gotta feeling that this is your month and that it would certainly be a very fitting circle of life shizzle after your mums colleague's pain and awful ordeal.

tanny I shall defo be here in the summer as I we have decided to shelve ttc until we move house. We will be putting ours on the market next week and really hope to be moved by September-ish. Which means I will very probably not be upduffed by 12th, my due date, but if I've got a new house to keep me busy, in a beaut village, I reckon I will be more relaxed and ready for bfp whenever it happens. Hope it's ok if I hang around/lurk with you ladies though?

Btw, if anyone needs a little pick me up and an "aaah" moment, my dd has been rather hilarious recently and so I've put a few videos on Instagram of her. Just PM me if you want to know the name of my account so you can have a look x

Congratulations boba and lacey: another two BFPs on the thread! How exciting!
Wishing you both the easiest and most boring 9 months!

I am feeling a bit frustrated and it's only my first month TTC post mc (I took the pill for a month straight after).
Initially my body seemed to respond normally, I had EWCM on D14, 15 and 16, but no temperature rise yet (on D19 now). Don't know what to think....
Not managing to keep up TTC every other day, either...

I think others have said it too, but one of the things that makes me angry about the whole MC, is not only the major hearbreak of losing a pregnancy, but also that it's now never going to be the same. Even TTC has lost's its innocence and carelessness.

Fingers crossed for all those POAS today!!

Thanks boba, but they're actually still pretty low, so pretty sure it's correct. It's crap.

Ah thanks everyone ill probably hang about for a bit if that's ok.. Boba I may copy you and try to be positive and join the dec anti natal thread, scared though!!! I think I'll have to wait a couple of days for a stronger line.
I'm on holidays too Carly, it's so needed. Sebs that's such a good idea that your oh took today off! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful day! We are both off today celebrating our anniversary and maybe, very tentatively, our bfp too....

Congratulations boba and Lacey! This thread is so lucky, I predict many many more BFPs yet!

Congrats boba and Lacey :)

Gotta fly, induction morning at new job then 2 weeks Easter hols...whoop!x

Congratulations Boba and Lacey, yay to short stays on ttc threads!

I'm now about 7 weeks post mc, and have just realised that this is the longest time I've not been pg since August . Three MCs in 5 months was shitbuckets.

I hate the enfored wait to ttc (it's only me enforcing it) but at the same time, I know my body needs it. I just hope that there'll be some of you popping in to see me get my bfp in the summer...

Congrats Lacey!!

Have a lovely shagging day sebs

English, the cycle I got my bfp with DS2, according to fertility friend based on temps, I didn't ovulated, I only had the positive OPKs, it's really muggy atm so maybe you're artifically 'high' atm?

x-post - sorry your body is still not playing ball English. It's so frustrating when there's nothing you can do, isn't it? Hope things sort themselves out soon.

Congratulations Lacey, I hope this one will stick!

office I did the C25k last year and really enjoyed it, like you I think I didn't lose huge amounts of weight but my body shape definitely became more 'streamlined'. Have been trying to get back into it recently but been thwarted at various points by bad weather/colds etc. (I can only run outside and it gets too muddy if it rains a lot).

Happy shagging today sebs! Hope your efforts pay off this month. We enjoyed some nice TITH last night too, hoping I get a smiley later and then we might be able to have A POAS party in a couple of weeks sebs.
