Ttc after miscarriage thread #8

Ovia is great. Although ill only use the fertility not pregnancy app going forwards as it made me too excited as it kept showing the size of the baby.

Yes Reiki vibe I think, must admit I'm going with an open mind and see what its about.
I do have low BP, often feel faint and light headed but don't tend to actually faint too often. My last one I ended up in hospital as I banged my head in the shower and cut my eye open. Have a lovely scar to remind me of the situation now too! They must have asked me 10 times "any chance you could be pregnant" went home bought a test and I was!!

Think I will see how I feel too early next week. It's so hard to not get excited isn't it with the 'what if' thoughts x

Is it a reiki sort of thing? Talking or a treatment? Sounds fascinating! With you on taking what you can get at the moment Thanks for the vibes.

I find Ovia a really useful app. Some people find the americannness of it annoying but I like how easy it is to use. And you add as much or as little data as you fancy.

Your plan sounds right, I've used dates of mcs as LMP and it's tends to work out.

I fainted last cycle as well! Are you a serial fainter or was it a shock? I have low BP but haven't fainted for ages so I did wonder.

I'll see if af feels like it's going to show Monday or Tuesday and then test if not I think. I need to find out before too long if it is a bfp as need to get hcg tests at the hospital and start on the clexane injections.

Aw Anne it will happen for you. Positive vibes being sent my way to you. I'm actually seeing a spiritual healer?! (Not sure if that's the correct name for her) at the weekend as my mum recommended her to me. Meant to help with positive energy and I thought why not I'll take anything at though moment!

Just downloaded kindara, more to keep track as I can never remember my dates! Well I'm due on next Wednesday (according to my app) but they would be classing my erpc as last months period date...not sure if that's correct or not! See what happens and need to resist the urge to test before due date! The last pregnancy I fainted and had really low blood pressure and generally felt crap at the start so that was my key to test! What about you are you testing or waiting until missed AF?

You're so kind fluff, thank you x I really would like an actual baby, a soft, squidgy, gorgeous baby that's half me and half DH, that we can love and cherish and watch grow into a whole proper person

God, I'm about to bawl. Sodding hormones. Feeling really sick today, that and the tummy makes me think it's a bug. Bugger.

Which app have you gone for user, and when are you testing? How about you fluff?

Could be a big week for us next week ladies

I've just downloaded and fertility app....I know I'm going to turn into a possessed women testing constantly

User if my body works right I'm due af next week too. ☺️

Yeah i think i was about 13/14dpo when i got my bfp last times and on my first it was more like 21dpo. I just feel like my af is coming soon but only 8dpo just really crampy on and off i don't know about my iron levels no one has bothered with me since surgery. I got bfn 2 half w after surgery. Ohhh cake mmmmm. Ha thanks anne I'm desperate you get your sticky baby sounds like you've been through so much.

Sending you sunshine, energy and cake fluff

Do you know how your iron levels are?

Fx for you user People have mixed experiences, as ever, but my af wasn't that and at all. They're usually heavy and painful but it wasn't as bad as usual. Though lasted long enough and was heavy enough to be convincing, if that makes sense!

I had a MMC in November, took a month off, then bfp again last month and had mc at 5 weeks. So no cycles since the last one.

I had a bfp at 13dpo last cycle fluff. I know it's statistically highly unlikely I catch again this month, but it's been a statistically improbable last 6 months for us, mostly in a very bad way, so you never know!

I've only had one af since August so not sure on where my cycle is at but it's usually about 24 days.

I'm due on next week too Anne although will be my first AF since MMC so not sure what to expect.

We did DTD last week around ovulation but may have missed it. We shall see. I hate this wait!!

Symptoms sound good Anne fingers crossed for you. How many cycles are you past MC?

How many days after you ov anne does your af come? And all sounds promising anne. I could do with some energy do you want to share. Need some sunshine ☀

How's everyone doing?

I'm due af next Wednesday, so half way through the 2WW. Feeling quite symptomy but not getting too attached to the idea.

Had two nights of mad baby dreams in a row. Last night that my new born son was given to me, bloody, wrapped in a blanket, in the carpark at my office, and then when I wasn't looking he started chomping on a muffin.

The night before, that I gave birth in my living room at home, then couldn't find the baby anywhere as there were papers all over the floor. Eventually found it, and someone else was breastfeeding it, on my sofa.

Got a bit more energy after having my B12 injection. Really sore veiny boobs and huge nipples, and had a funny tummy again yesterday.

Sorry for your loss Gracie

Welcome gracie i decided to wait for af just so i can see my body back to normal although I think i ov after i thought so i may have caught I've had a bit of cramping but that's gone now and also funny boobs. So although I don't normally have any sensation in my boobs before or during af i think af may show soon it's either 8 or 9 days after ov.

Hey gracie I agree with peony I had a erpc at 12 weeks and waited 3 weeks until I had a negative test. Once the bleeding stopped and I had my negative we got straight back to it. I feel emotionally ready. I have a 4 year old already and desperate to conceive...been trying for 2 years before the MMC so was a real kick in the teeth. The first month trying with ov sticks and we caught sadly when I went for my 12 week scan there was no heartbeat but hoping the myth you are more fertile after a mc is true! Not sure when I'll get AF if it's a month from erpc then it will be next week but we shall see

Hi Gracie
I got my first negative HPT at the weekend after miscarriage 2 and a half weeks ago... and we jumping straight back in, not bothering to wait for af.
Luckily I felt very well physically quite quickly afterward, and OH and I both feel ready to TTC again straight away - like it would help

Just seen there is lots of discussion below about whether to wait for af, sorry

Hi
Can I join? I feel like I need somewhere to maybe talk. I had a natural miscarriage last week (7 weeks) and will be TTC as soon as possible because it took us 8 months (4 months of really properly trying) to get pregnant the first time and I am 36.

What do people think about waiting for a period?

I am very lucky that I do have a daughter age nearly 3. I had a natural miscarriage at 9 weeks ( much more physically traumatic ) before she was born as well so this was my second miscarriage.

Thank you for reading my post x.

I'm trying to go straight in. Was all excited a couple of days ago when got a flashing smiley on clearblue. I should be in FW now but day 3 of flashing smiley (normally just have 2 days) and no EWCM to speak of (usually have lots) suggests I'm maybe not back to normal. Still going to have lots of sex though!

Mulder I agree. I can't wait for my period to come now. Although I'm not sure it's going to cone whilst I'm still having positive pregnancy tests.

mulder I'm down in Cornwall I'm afraid. But just went to a spa for a trial session which was 30 mins. It was so relaxing though!

Arghh so not sure if I'm up for this ttc game anymore and it's only the first month.
Never actually tried before it's always just happened.
Defiantly have a new found respect for the women who have been trying for a while.
Have just spent 15 mins with my app trying to work out when to dtd over the fw.So romantic.
Have promised myself that I am not going anywhere near a poas til the end of March by which point I will either have af or be a whole week late.
And then if it is positive there should be a good dark line.
And not even think about requesting a booking app til 10 weeks, having to cancel the last one was horrible.
Have gone and got myself some magnesium bath stuff though.

Also it's actually quite nice to feel my body getting back to normal so has been weirdly reassuring to have a period, just to see my body remembers how to do it! Loads of people jump straight in tho and am sure it's fine.
