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 ❤️

Hi ladies! I’ll join you on here too, this cycle would be expecting to test around 7th Feb although I’m so confused by last cycle that I don’t really know what’s going on!
Anyway time to start OV symptom spotting!

Have just started doing bbt charting hoping to understand a bit more what’s going on with my cycle. Anyone have any experience of it? So far I don’t think I’ve had an accurate reading from a combination of bad sleep and feeling poorly.

Thanks for the thread @TerribleImagination!

Hello, I miscarried in mid November at 5.5 weeks, caught straight away again (ie no period) and then miscarried again last week at 8 weeks (had a bleed and then no heartbeat on scan). Unfortunately medical management has not worked and I'm booked in to have a procedure tomorrow am very fortunate that this is covered on my private health insurance so I'm having a slightly fancier procedure than a d and c to make sure everything is ok taken out carefully.

I think I will physically be ready in February and DH is keen to in case that is the 'month with the good egg' but I must admit I'm not sure if I can do this again

Thanks for setting up @TerribleImagination the jan thread has been such a huge source of support for me through January ❤️

@shhhhs goodness I'm so sorry to hear that, you must be feeling so raw right now. I promise we are here for you all the way 💜

@Michette @mlax yes me too, I feel like February will be another trying month for me too. Only 3rd month in so I think anything before the 6 month Mark is a win really isn't it 🤲

@TerribleImagination thank you for starting another post miscarriage support thread, as a lesser mortal I fear the starting of threads and the general handling of them. Hats off to you, and of course explosions of baby dust to all ✨🌈

Hi, please can I join in? I am going through an ectopic/miscarriage at the moment. It's been a tough 2 weeks. Things are very emotional and raw still as we have been trying for a quite a while. I have been told we cant ttc until after I've had a normal AF which I think means we can start again at the end of feb. It would be nice to have some company as it's been a scary and lonely time. I'm so worried it could happen again when we ttc but I also just want to be a mum so badly. So anxious, conflicted and tired all at the same time!

Miscarried last weekend at 8 weeks, still feeling incredibly hormonal but will be TTC as soon as the bleeding stops. Does anyone know if ovulation sticks work straight after miscarriage, or will they test positive anyway due to high hormone level from the pregnancy?

mlax · 16/01/2020 12:00

Just getting myself on this thread incase AF arrives at any point 🙄🙄

Michette · 16/01/2020 11:49

I will probably join the thread next week when AF shows :)
