TTC after miscarriage - February 2020

Hi to anyone reading 👋🏻

This is a thread for anyone TTC / testing in February, after a miscarriage.

I’ll start off with intros! I’m 37 and my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 5 1/2 weeks in December. I TTC straight afterwards, but AF found me, so here I still am on this crazy, frustrating, rollercoaster of a journey!

I joined the January thread after my miscarriage and it’s been amazing to go there and chat to other women who know how you feel.

So for anyone joining this, I’m so so sorry you find yourself here, but you’re in good company ❤️

@shhhhs best of luck with your OPK's, hopefully they turn positive asap. I am hoping this is over fairly quickly so I can start to look forward and try again

shhhhs · 18/02/2020 15:31

Good luck @michette. Really hope its a BFP for you both ❤️

@savethewales, I really feel for you, it's just the worst. I was in your position about 6 weeks ago now and there is nothing to be said to make it better at the time. 6 weeks on though I'm feeling better and I'm sure you will be too, just do what you need to do to keep yourself going ❤️

I'm now CD12 in first proper cycle since MC. Starting OPK today, and hoping they are positive in the next few days!

Annie0425 · 18/02/2020 15:05

@Michette good team decision 😊. You’ll be 11dpo so you might be able to see it. But don’t get disheartened if it’s BFN as it’s still too early! Good luck

ChampooPapi · 18/02/2020 14:55

Really good kick up the bum, not good luck 🤦

ChampooPapi · 18/02/2020 14:54

@Michette we'll get there, and we will def get there this year, that we can say for certain. I saw an old friend today by chance and she has just been referred to ivf so another reminder that I'm only on my 4th cycle since the miscarriage, am only 32 and have been pregnant before , so I need to count my blessings every day.

Tuesday is always a funny one isn't it though, Mondays feel like a fresh start and by Tuesday afternoon I can start to spiral a bit. Really good luck up my bum seeing that lovely woman, poor thing has had it very hard as had a late loss also last year.

There are so many of us women carrying this around with us, it's incredible. We are incredible ♥️

Michette · 18/02/2020 14:49

@champoopapi I know the feeling but the dreaded bfn too 😑

ChampooPapi · 18/02/2020 14:48

@BS9790 hey congratulations! Fantastic news ✨🌈

Upload tomorrow please 🤗😄

ChampooPapi · 18/02/2020 14:46

@Michette exciting! I'm starting to get itchy testing trigger finger, but only 8 days po (give or take a few days either side) so going to hold out for the week at least.

Michette · 18/02/2020 13:48

@Annie0425 had a discussion with dp and we decided to do a frer tomo morning if we still want to. And then whatever result wait for AF on sunday...

savethewales · 18/02/2020 13:37

Hi all,

I'm currently going through a miscarriage, would have been 6 weeks tomorrow.

I feel so sad and like I've let everyone down; really struggling. Hoping to get back to ttc as soon as I get a negative test and the bleeding stops. Hope it happens quickly for us all xx

BS9790 · 18/02/2020 13:03

@cometa08 if this is my bfp then so far symptoms are completely different to last time...even at this early stage.
Haven't been tracking bbt.

Cometa08 · 18/02/2020 12:11

@BS9790 A faint line is very much promising, congrats! Smile When your pregnancy is going to be confirmed would you tell us if you seem to have some early pregnancy symptoms that you noticed also in the previous pregnancy? Also have you been taking your bbt?

Annie0425 · 18/02/2020 11:59

Hi Ladies,
Looks like a busy week so far for everyone!
Congrats @BS9790 faint line at 10dpo sounds promising. Good luck!
@anny27 yay finally!! Welcome to the 2ww! Try not to be too stressed. When will you test? I don’t think this is my month as we didn’t actively try around the ovulation time...so will only test if AF is late by a few days...but hopefully this is your month! 🤞
@Kona84 CD29 one looks positive...So get on with dtd!!
@Michette try and wait until after AF is due to test- I know easier said than done...but by then you will almost definitely know...don’t worry about not having any symptoms..it’s too early for any symptoms really...equally disappearing cramps may be a sign? 🤞and good luck!
I am really hoping for a few BFPs here this month xx

Leok83 · 18/02/2020 10:20

@BS9790 yay congrats!!!

BS9790 · 18/02/2020 10:08

@Anny27 I do have a picture, but you can't really see anything on it. I'm not posting it you'll think I'm crazy... Haha.

Ill test again tomorrow and hopefully see some progression!!

Michette · 18/02/2020 09:54

Aww good that you tested!!!!!
No more cider (even small) for now 😄
@bs9790

Ok so not much symptoms is not necessarily a bfn... maybe i will test tomo morning then 😅

BS9790 · 18/02/2020 09:50

Thanks ladies. So nervous.

@Michette I felt a bit sick at the weekend, but I think that was tiredness from my work residential and up early for the airport!

Last night I had a small cider, and when I got back and into bed I felt like I'd been on a massive drinking session and thought I was going to be sick.

I've had a few little twinges in my right pelvic area, but apart from that nothing. I was convinced this wasn't our month.

I'm only testing because I'm on holiday and have limited myself to one drink a day, but would stop that as soon as I got a bfp x

Michette · 18/02/2020 09:24

@BS9790 what symptoms are you having rn??

Michette · 18/02/2020 09:23

@Anny27 10 dpo here just like @BS9790 but haven’t tested...
Don’t feel pregnant at all and really scared now of the bfn and then the wait to AF.
Ofc i so desperately want to know but only want to know if it’s positive Grin

Not much to spot in terms of symptoms, the small period cramps or sharp pains have completely disappeared. Boobs swollen but that’s also normal before AF (which is due Sunday)

Michette · 18/02/2020 09:20

@BS9790 that’s a good start! Faint defo better than bfn... let’s hope it progresses for a bfp later this week! Fingers crossed x

@anny27 finally!!!!!!! Try to stay sane in the tww :)

@Kona84 from the pic it looks positive (test as dark as control) but you will see better tonight!!!

Anny27 · 18/02/2020 09:15

@BS9790 ahhhh exciting! Do you have a pic? Really hope this sticks, congratulations lovely!!

@Ljm0101 my first cycle was a week and a half longer but some peoples arrive on time so definitley test!

Ljm0101 · 18/02/2020 09:07

That's amazing news @BS9790
My problem is I have no idea when I ovulated. I might just buy some cheapies and do one in the morning, I'm going crazy. Xx

BS9790 · 18/02/2020 09:04

I'm 10dpo... Tested this morning and got a very faint line. DH saw it straight away as well so it's not my line eyes!

Not getting ahead of myself just yet, will test again tomorrow and see. Fingers crossed...

Ljm0101 · 18/02/2020 08:37

@Anny27 I'm very tempted to do another test I'm now 6 days "late" if it was a normal cycle. I just don't want to be disappointed, I'm trying to hold out as long as I can. Xx

Anny27 · 18/02/2020 07:57

I am officially 1dpo yippee!!

I never got a proper positive on my opk however it got very close to positive. Even though I tested several times a day. Same thing happened the cycle I feel pregnant, I never got a true positive so perhaps my LH surge isnt as high as most people or perhaps urine was diluted

@kona84 keep on testing and fingers crossed it happens soon

@Michette how are you feeling?

Is anyone due AF/bfp soon??
