TTC after MC (#7) - fx for better times ahead

Aww paws, try not to worry. It's probably something minor. If you've recently been constipated you might have a fissure- basically a small tear that will probably heal itself

Weird and scary update, upon going to toilet again and checking clears throat inside
It appears um not bleeding from the hole I thought I was.....its coming out of my bum?!!! Wtf!!!???

To be honest, I have no idea which day to count as CD1 paws. Not too sure about implantation bleeding either. Sorry! Totally know how you're feeling though. Sending you hugs.

Thanks for replies guys x

Just went to the loo and wiped....small smear of red blood? Not due on till Wednesday, and ovulated for sure on cd 16, which puts me on cd 26 today....I thought luteal phase was not meant to change? Nothing more when I wiped again, so possible implantation bleeding? I thought the blood was supposed to be pink or brown...can it be red?

Last month (when pg) I started bleeding on a Sunday (spotting/very very light) and passed sac on the Wednesday,....so assuming you count the 'day' of the mc as cd1 (that's what the nurse in epu said) I assumed I would be due on this Wednesday?
I 'started' to 'see' blood on the Sunday during last pregnancy as I said, which was actually when I was due on! So seeing blood today at 28 days later is confusing me.....

All depends on 'what day' during a mc you count as cd 1
I've always gone by the day you actually pass the pregnancy?

Confused/tired/pissed off/ fed up with living my life counting down days, and tissue checking :'(

paws you could be testing too early. With my daughter, I tested negative until I was a week late. I had so many symptoms so I was certain I was pregnant. Whereas, with both mc, I had no early symptoms but tested early and got a positive.

With my 2nd mc I had no symptoms at all which made me think something was wrong and sadly turned out to be true.

Welcome cherry, sorry for your loss...this thread will be of great comfort to you, I'm sure x

10dpo for me (this is a wtf cycle) last couple of days have had blood when brushing my teeth, migraine on 8dpo, headaches, boobs feeling achy today-little stabs and tingly, blood on tissue when blowing nose last few mornings, stuffy runny nose, tiny dizzy spells that come in little flurries, cramping and pulls in uterus and cervix...

BFN with both 10miu onestep & 15miu sure-sign....

I just don't want to kid myself, I was certain I was pregnant in my wtf cycle last time too and wasn't! We do fall pregnant very quickly though, both proper cycles I've had we've conceived (both mc)
Obviously I'm a crazy lady who is going to test everyday until either 'one of two possibilities' materialise!

Possibility to have this many symptoms in wtf cycle and 'NOT' be pregnant???

Thoughts please ladies, and thank you in advance for any replies xxx

Thanks mama. Had a lovely birthday celebration for my LO and spoilt her rotten. Helped me to take mind off things.

Welcome cherrypie. So sorry for your loss.

On a side note, does anyone remember having cm 2 weeks after mc?

Welcome feather sorry for your loss. Don't worry about not dtd enough, if it was timed around ov, even just once could be enough.
Welcome cherrypie sorry for your loss. I also lost my first pg at 12 weeks, the baby had stopped growing just a few days after 10 weeks. I know how devastating it is to lose the baby just as you think the dangerous period is over. Fx your sore boobs are an early symptom.

Hey everyone. I've been following this thread for a while now, hope you don't mind if I join.
I lost my first pregnancy at the begging of June at 12 weeks (though baby stopped developing at 10) got a period 5 weeks later so now ttc again. I've been trying to be relaxed about it (no opk, checking temp etc) just dtd a lot and see what happens!
Anyway, period is now due in a week so my mind is starting to go into overdrive, thinking am I? Aren't I? Boobs are a bit sore today (although that happens before af sometimes) and my cup of tea tasted odd this morning which made me wonder, but I then I doubt it's anything this early on! Anyway it would be nice to have other ladies to chat to who are in the same boat x

By the way....I think I saw someone ask about getting a positive opk and a positive pregnancy test at the same time. It's because the hcg and lh are very hormones with only one differentiating chain. You can get a positive OPK if you're pregnant but not a positive pregnancy test if you're ovulating. You can actually use OPKs as pregnancy tests!

I found this out the hard way (thinking I was ovulating 3 weeks after the miscarriage....doing some reading then realising the OPK was picking up residual HCG and confirming it by doing a pregnancy test that was still coming up positive). Phhhh.

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm trying to ignore the "why me" feeling but it's hard not to think "what if". Within three days of my miscarriage starting, three good friends announced their pregnancies...and one even has 'my' original due date Desperately trying to be happy for them, be zen and realise that feeling jealous won't change a thing. I just want to be pregnant again. I have another 6 days before I can test but really not hopeful for this cycle (first post mc).

Just wanted to say thanks for support. We've been away and had a nice day so I feel better. Also managed to find his&hers.

carrot hope your tww goes by quickly for you x
mama how are you? Where are you at in your cycle? We mc'd the same time this month at beginning of July, I'm in my tww 9dpo still bfn's ... Gonna get a FRER today, as I think the ic's are crap...no way are they 10mlu! X

reebok sorry you're feeling low, I feel like screaming the exact same thing most days x
feather welcome, lots of support here, sorry for your loss x

Hugs to you, reebok and happy birthday to your little one x

Hugs raluca... we will get through those and get our babies.

Feeling like crap tonight so I'm trying to count my blessings....I've been blessed with my LO who turns two tomorrow. She's what gets me through days like today when I'm in bits.

Reebok I am with you! Although only teaching assistant I know how you feel!
We moved from a town to another last year and then I had 2 mc so I am not with a school bit with 3 agencies so I see plenty of ladies ready to go in maternity leave...
i had one of those days and I am ready to fall asleep crying!

Welcome featheredtail. I'm sorry for your loss. I think once I start ttc again I will feel the same.

paws I guess you're right. I just didn't want to go back to work in September (I'm a teacher) and not be pregnant especially seeing as I will be around 2 of my colleagues who are pregnant. This just sucks. Some days I'm ok and other days I just want to scream WHY ME??? WHY DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN????

Hi everyone, just checking in on you all, hope you're doing ok.

Welcome featheredtail. I'm sorry for your loss. It's very hard not to become obsessive. I don't know how people manage it.

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind but I've been hovering over this thread for a while now. I'm a fully fledged poster on another TTC thread, but think I need a little extra post-MC support.

I had a scan at 7 weeks and discovered an empty sac. I miscarried at 8 weeks. The miscarriage lasted 5 weeks, then merged into my period. I found it all shocking, draining and....sad.

Just ovulated (well, I think I did - I use CB fertility monitors) for the first time since the miscarriage and very keen not to get too obsessed with TTC, but I'm finding it hard not to. I'm already fretting that we didn't do the deed nearly enough over my fertile period (due to DH working late and me getting cystitis).

Finding some comfort knowing there are others going through the same thing (and who also like POAS)

POAS today bfn, but only 8dpo ... Only started getting shadows of lines at 10dpo last time!

Oh bum! reebok tbh you will feel better that you're having to have one cycle first, the whole guessing game of
'am I, aren't I' is horrid in the wtf cycle, I was convinced I was pg but wasn't...was happy that I had the one cycle first, gave me a little longer to deal with stuff, and felt 'healthier' 2nd cycle x

fruit I know what you mean about needed to find a balance! haven't managed it yet

Hope you're doing well x

mummy I don't use fb, caused so much shit its unreal! I figured my true friends have my number, and I have theirs so deactivated my account x

I was 7 weeks paws but sac only measured 5....hubby is away anyway so have to wait until he's back! Dammit!
