TTC after miscarriage - May 2020

@Dipsy77 that's good you were able to go doctors and get a swab done 👌🤞 hopefully this can get sorted for you asap now xx yeah I can imagine it was surreal. I live on a busy seafront and this morning I went for a walk with DH before he went to work at 5.30am... most of the walk we saw nobody and no cars ! I've never seen it like that ever. Weve been out early to exercise before lockdown and theres normally other people out running and lots of cars going to work etc . Very surreal but was lovely and calm
... I of course went back to bed when I got home haha . X

Morning @vp91x I'm okay ! CD10 today. Got another flashing smiley on CB today expecting to see peak on CD12 last month so hopefully see that in a couple days .

Like I said yday not feeling confident already , probably because I've been disappointed last 2 AFs arriving so setting myself up for that happening again ... ALSO .. last night was looking into Male fertility supplements as DHs wellman nearly all gone and was seeing what other ones there are out there ( I ended up ordering fertilaid for him to try next) .. but I came across advice that testosterone supplements can harm male fertility like whilst he is taking it it can reduce sperm count... and he has been taking some on and off as he had them any way as he is into the gym and fitness and when we were back to TTC again after MC I was like yeah take them as well.. thinking it may help yano youd think increased testosterone would be a good thing... turns out it is for libido but not sperm count etc 🙄 I mean hes only been taking it on and off last couple months... and hes not been very religious at taking his supplements at all .. but still another thing that just makes me feel less confident again this cycle 🙄! Makes me think sometimes maybe I should just strip back all this extra stuff like supplements and lube and let it happen naturally like it should ... 🙄🤷‍♀️ who knows ! Xx

Had a bizarre experience this morning. We have an in-line contact service with our doctors so I mentioned I thought I had an infection and that the thrush treatment I had been given hasn't worked. I asked for antibiotics.
The doctor replied saying the last infection I had was strep b so I'd need to have swabs to find out what's going on. She said I could call into the doctors take the swab use their loos and give it back to reception. There was no one in the doctors really weird but good that I get my results in 48 hours so I can hopefully find out if it's an Infection causing my spotting x

Hope all you ladies are okay today.

CD6 now. App recommended I start OPKs so started my CB advanced today and will do a cheapie later to start getting a feel for my lines. Expecting to ovulate CD12 apparently. Xx

You're welcome @Jazper yes it is reassuring to see other people's experiences. Hope you are feeling better today xx

@VP91x thank you for your reassurance.
I have found another thread of ladies going through the same irregular cycles after mc which has put me at ease somewhat.
Hopefully it will settle soon. Thanks again x

@SmileyT I did wonder this with the app. I took another test and it's a clear postitve so at least that matches my cb opk from this morning 😊. Xx

@SmileyT I mean, we've been dtd so that would be amazing if it is a new pregnancy. But I doubt it. I think maybe the clear blue test is more sensitive than it claims, hence still showing positive. Yeah, this is driving me bonkers! On the plus side, I just did a clearblue opk, and it's showing an empty circle, as it should be if I'm on my period. Ever since my mmc, I've been getting the starting smiley every week, which is obviously totally incorrect. I stopped testing with them because I didn't want to waste my sticks and they are expensive! Either way, you're right, I'll get more clarity after my blood test tomorrow. Until then I will try and relax and lay off on the wine haha 😂

@Dipsy77 😂😂 normally it is guys that are heard complaining they don't have enough sex. And here we are trying to find ways to BD all the time. They should count themselves lucky 😂 x

@Tink20058 congratulations!! Wonderful news!! ❤️❤️ Going to be a month off positives for us all!

@Jazper welcome x sorry that you have recently suffered a loss. You're not broken, promise. After my MC I had a 21, then 24 day cycle now I am back to 29 days so much more regular. It takes some time for things to settle xx

AF arrived today. 3 weeks after MC, DTD a few times during that window, but was quite expecting it to arrive. In some way I'm quite glad as it means my cycle is the same as before! And can clear out and start fresh for the next few weeks! Fingers crossed!

@Renna lol yes I told him to lie back and think of England x

Hello all. New here. I joined as I’m on the TTC train and could really do with some positivity after miscarrying at 9 weeks at the end of feb. I then had my first period 5 weeks later and bled for a ridiculous 10 days 😫 I was then expecting my cycle to go totally back to normal this month but I’m now 3 days late and getting bfn’s 😭
Can anyone give me some reassurance that my cycle will regulate and I am not broken.
I haven’t been through the whole thread obviously as it huuuggge! But congratulations to those with recent bfp’s and good luck to all those ttc alongside myself ❤️

Yeah hun @HE88 deffo peak xx xx

@Dipsy77 haha I know I've been like helping him do stretches etc... I'm like gotta make sure this back doesnt get any worse !! 🙄 getting him laying on the floor crunching his back .. like come on stretch further than that 😂🙄 when everything doesnt go so perfectly you think ah well not gonna work this month. But doesnt always work like that . I felt like that in December when I did get pg so 🤷‍♀️ x x aw bless haha least you managed to do it! Can imagine a lot of it involved you doing the work ! 😂 what happened with us this morning! Xx

Thanks @Dipsy77 I'll test again in 4 hours and see what happens. Xx

Hi ladies! I think AF has finally got me 40 days after my mmc. I was jumping for joy yesterday, but then did cheapie hpt to make sure all was okay, got a super super faint positive and then did a clear blue test this morning which was positive. I have a blood test scheduled for tomorrow to check my Hcg levels (been going almost every week for the last 6 weeks). Last test showed that my Hcg was at 27 ( that was 11 days ago).

Just want to know, has anyone had a period with Hcg still in their system? This is extremely frustrating! Wanted to pour myself a nice glass of wine and relax this weekend, but couldn't because this is all so confusing 😫

@renna same happened to me my OH has a bad back think he thought I was some sort of neurotic sex maniac I felt awful but we managed to DTD twice leaving me feeling guilty, still not hopeful though as I think I missed my peak because of that x

@HE88 I'd say that's definitely peak the test line is darker than the control line, your supposed to test every 4 hours after getting your peak, I had one more peak and then it went back down again
X

Ladies can anyone confirm that the top opk is definitely peak/positive? I had to manually do this one as the results were coming back as low which doesn't seem correct to me as its looks definitely positive. Its the 1st time I've used these opks, I got my static smiley on cb this morning so a peak on these would add up.

@Tink20058 I was 6 weeks so that gives me hope. Feeling very empty so I’m hoping I catch before my next af. Yes testing everyday myself as I’m determined not to miss it

@2020wish I was about 4-5 weeks when I miscarried and then was really determined so bought ovulation kit and glad I did I ovulated a lot later then I thought and could have missed it without the tests there is definitely hope ❤️❤️❤️

Hi ladies xx hope everyone having a nice weekend xx I've tried to keep busy with puppy prepping and house deep cleaning.
Got my first flashing smiley yesterday at CD8 which is earlier than I expected to be honest , expecting peak around Wednesday. DTD today but trying to be more relaxed with it and let it happen when it does as long as peak covered ! As when we got pg last time only DTD on 2 peak days over the fertile week 👌 it's hard trying to be "laid back " with it .. still cant help myself thinking about things and making sure I use that CP lube 😂 ..

Congratulations @Tink20058 amazing news xxxx

@smileyT hope this TWW goes quick for you and you have a special surprise at the end 💙💞🌈

I'm not even through peak yet and I just dont feel positive already about success this month .. ha bad isnt it ! Think its because DH got a sore lower back ! Hoping it doesnt get any worse next few days ! Xxx and probably because this is my 2nd proper cycle since MC so feel like I've had the dossappitning of AF a couple of times now so expecting it to happen again xx

@Hayleylou89 hope you're okay xx and ava has arrived !? Xx

@Tink20058 congrats hun!!!!! Only the 3rd of the month and you’ve already kicked off the BFPs! Really hopeful for everyone else!

Thanks guys! Yes Ramadan has been strange in the sense that we would usually break our fast with relatives but now it’s just with my in-laws!

Hoping to test using OPK soon but can’t seem to not use the toilet for 4 hours 😭
