TTC after miscarriage thread #4

Mrs what is the fertility cleanse?? I feel like I need to do something different!

My temp rose by 0.36 today... It had been stable at about 36.1 for four days... What does this mean? It's cd19 for me today.

Aww backache is a killer. Where abouts are you in your cycle? Yeah I used to be good taking them before and I was so surprised when I feel pregnant first cycle. I take the Eskimo 2 fish oils and vitamin d drops by Nutri (can buy both on Amazon or direct from
Nutri). The vitamin d is great, just take 10-15 drops once a week !

Thanks Amy

Brenna that sounds a lovely weekend, good for you for making the most of it. inspiration to the rest of us

Hopeful hope you get a reply real quick from the consultant. Keep us posted.

Amy I think hormones post miscarriage can make us erratic but had your feeling good at the mo!

AF due today and I thought I had very light spotting yesterday but appears not. Had terrible hormonal headaches last few days though and lots of strong cramps yesterday and very slight cramps today. I'm defo out though as I did a couple of tests couple of days ago and there wasn't even the faintest of faintest lines!

Think I'll start taking fish oils and vitamin D again as they are meant to help balance hormones.

Lots of messages to catch up on!

Brenna sounds like you had a lovely time with your husband... Dtd for the fun of it must have been good

smiling that's great af has ended.. Good luck and fingers crossed! I'm so terrified of getting pregnant again but also we have to keep thinking that next time everything will be fine... Even if it's not we have to be hopeful and positive.

Amy sounds like you're being really relaxed about thing. My boyfriend told me to chill out last night and said stop taking OPKs! Ha. Think he would rather we just dtd all the time rather than just when I'm in my fertile week!
The cm is a good sign... Sounds like you ovulated too given the temp rise?

Good luck to everyone in TWW... I'm assuming I'm in mine now although don't think I ovulated. Feeling very bloated and gross today... Could be from eating 8 biscuits at work!

My bleeding is pink again so I think af is on her way although I've not had a bleed-free day yet I'm hoping this will be a fresh start

Mrs that must be tough! Like everyone i guess i'm hoping above all that i'll be pregnant again by my due date, or at least by Christmas to take the edge off the date. I think brenna has the right idea though, and i might try and book some nice things for that month to try and keep it as positive as it can be.

I so hope we get some luck on here soon. How long until your test day?

I hope i do ovulate as if i don't it'll be bloody ages til AF!! Once every couple of years, i have been known to have 50-odd day cycles which i can only assume were anov (pre ttc). I shall be demented!

Hello everyone. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine! I'm now 23 days post medical mc so hoping something might happen soon. I've changed my CD1 on Fertility Friend to the day the sac came away, but keeping Ovia as my original (day i had the treatment) to compare the two, so by FF i'm day 19.

I got my first faintish opk today; theyve been almost positive since my bfn last week, which is nothing like my last successful cycle when they were vv faint apart from the two positive days.

Fourth day of temping, but chart is very spiky due to the weekend and alcohol intake so interested to see how it will shape up for a normal working week.

Baby bomb at work today. I would have been starting to tell people around now so feeling a bit raw about people announcing at the moment. Staying positive and being patient!

Mrs creamy cm is a really good sign x

Brenna sounds like you've had a lovely weekend despite the date

Mrs no spotting is a really good sign! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

This morning I've got loads of cm and I mean panty liner soaking amounts of cm! Dtd last night, temp went back up to normal level this morning no significant rise, not checked my cervix and don't want to do an opk today so all good. Going to dtd today and tomorrow and see what my temps do. Feeling relaxed and happy at the min. DH even commented that I am in a much better frame of mind and not so moody, he likes the fact there's not a piss pot in the bathroom cupboard too and a shelf free with no sticks in there

Smiling the thought is terrifying but there is absolutely no reason why your next pregnancy will be nothing but brilliant. Keep the faith! Xx

Ah Brenna that sounds lovely. I can imagine it was bittersweet but it must have been the perfect way to cement you guys together. There is a bright future ahead I'm sure. Thinking of you.

I'm on my way to work & the minute I'm in the office I'm going to email my consultant. These cramps are just too noticeably AF and I need revived hope that life is going to turn out ok.

Lots of hope and magic to you all!! Xx

Hi everyone hope you all had a good weekend.

kate I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

AF has finally finished so ttc starts now, I'm immensely nervous and the thought of being pregnant again terrifies me

Good luck Cheeky. I hope your employers pull their socks up.

Best of luck if you do decide to get interventions Kate (and quietly hoping that this turns out to be your month and you don't need them).

Lots of CM can be a good sign.

Thanks for the good thoughts. I decided to make this weekend a slightly early celebration of our marriage and the babies we have loved and not managed to bring into this world. We had a bottle of champagne left over from the wedding and I will be in the TWW by our wedding anniversary so I decided to open it this weekend, get some nice new undies and cook lots of lovely food. It was slightly bittersweet at times but we had a great weekend (and a lot of sex just for the fun of it).

I think I'm definitely out this month. AF is on her way I can feel it. Straight to the consultant we go! Hopefully we can get this moving quickly.

Hope everyone else is ok. Xx

Cheeky yes I think that's right. My friend had a new job and found out she was 6 weeks pregnant 4 weeks into the job. She's starting her maternity leave in a couple of weeks. Also one of the other rgn's who works for our nursing home was 13 weeks pregnant (apparently she didn't know) when she started with us and is currently on her maternity leave.

Am I right in thinking that you can't get maternity unless you have worked somewhere for 26 weeks? But then doesn't that mean you could be 12 weeks pregnant upon starting the new job and if you worked until the due date then you could start your maternity then? Or am I completely misunderstanding this..

Interesting reading about all your careers. My current job is also education but i currently have an hour's commute each way, which is both tiring and expensive. I like my job but i would live to work somewhere nearer my home town, particularly if we do have children so that I can hopefully not be completely disengaged from their school.

I applied for a job i fancied earlier this year, and found out i hadn't got it a few days before my bfp. I saw it as a positive as i wouldn't want to start a new job pregnant, and piss off the boss straight away. I decided that i would stick where i was until i was finished having children, then try and move jobs, maybe even to part time somewhere.

Not sure what to do now though. Commute still is a pain in the arse, baby or no baby, but not sure i want to risk moving jobs when i might lose out on maternity pay and time.
