TTC after miscarriage - May 2020

@VP91x it was very light a small amount when wiping and a small amount on a pad but was very very painful cramps backache and leg ache which have now disappeared !
Yes winter would be bad . We have watched dancing fruit on you tube and now watching little baby bum, she is 7 months and obsessed x

@Dipsy77 what was your flow like yesterday? Was it a like normal AF? It might start up again a little later on. My cycles were all over the place post MC they are only just settling now, I didnt realise how much of an impact it would end up having either!

Ah, I am completely with you on the early morning coffee was up at 5am with my little girl too. At least it is sunny or getting light at that time, would be awful if it was winter xx

Oh forgot to add been up since 4am thanks to the little darling had a machine coffee (caffeinated) for the first time ever and there is a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge for when I'm finally on CD1 xx

Really confused woke up this morning nothing on tampon that's been in 9 hours, last night cramps were so bad and there was pink/red blood so not sure whether to class it as still spotting or CD1, I've a bad feeling that this AF is going to be very painful as last night I had to take the meds the hospital gave me for the pain I know I'm still out but think I'll change my app to still spotting, this happened last month started spotting on the Monday and AF came on the Saturday which is when it's due this time. I've always been regular as clockwork 27 days bleed for 4 days with one day of no bleeding in between so 5 days in total. Never realised a miscarriage could cause all this.
I'm hankering after an AVA bracelet but the cost is putting me off even though I know I could get most of the money back from selling on. I struggle to take my temp as I'm up and down all night with DD so I don't sleep for more than 3 hours solid plus when I get up u have to go to the loo so tracking and temping is difficult!
Sorry for the long post just a bit fed up with it all,
Looking forward to seeing some BFPs this month it keeps me going knowing it does happen,
@smileyt fingers crossed for you Sending baby dust x

@2020wish no, definitely not pregnant. MC was on the 23rd of March, and my Hcg levels only went down below 5 in the last week so it took about 6 weeks for everything to return to normal. Also, only just got the flashing smiley, so no LH surge detected yet. This is just a bit earlier than I expected for me though. Oh well, will give it a go and dtd every day😂

@2020wish don't beat yourself up about it. If you've dtd right before ovulation, I think that's what counts anyway. I'm sure you've done enough Xx.

Bit annoyed lol today was day after ovulation and trying to get one last DTD in and Dh has performance issues :( so don’t feel like I’ve done enough

How long ago was ur mc? Could it be possible that you are pregnant? As opks tests can’t tell difference between Lh and hcg and can be positive during pregnancy?

Ladies, has anyone gotten high fertility on day 7 of their cycle? I had a couple days of spotting before AF (4 days) hit with full force for 4 days, so I readjusted my dates and counted the full flow as day 1. I initially counted the spotting days as day 1 etc., but changed it after I saw that AF was heavier 4 days later.

Anyway, I was planning to do SMEP this month but hubby and I decided to start early, on day 6/7 instead of day 8 just in case haha. Yesterday I did a cb opk and it read has low fertility. This morning when I wiped, I noticed quite a lot of ewcm. I did a ic opk and it was still negative (two lines, but test line was a bit lighter than the control line). Later this afternoon, I noticed more ewcm and remembered that I had a migraine and heartburn the whole of yesterday, so I thought I'd just test with a cb opk just to see if I'm in my fertile period, and it showed the flashing smiley! I usually get about 5 flashing smileys before peak, but they usually start from about day 10 or so.

Does anyone get flashing smileys so soon after AF? I'm wondering if I'm still messed up post MC 🙈

Thanks @Mommybear05 the Dr did say the antibiotics are safe to take if I'm pregnant so that put my mind at ease. They are horrible I hate them they make you feel so rubbish.
Hope you are feeling better in a few days it's hard trying to understand what's going on in our bodies, did you say you have recently stopped breastfeeding? Xx

@Sallyjo27 @SmileyT agree with you both, no romance here either 😂😂

Glad we are using the pre seed tbh! Although he still hasn't mentioned anything 🤔🤔 he has probably spotted it in the sink cupboard, haha.

@Mommybear05 hope you are okay and tomorrow you are feeling less frustrated once AF has completely gone hopefully you will start to see ov symptoms soon and you can feel like you have a new start.

Ah yeah naps are a tricky one too! We just always stick to before bed now. My little one is always up by 5.30/6 latest so no chance of a morning wake up haha x

@SmileyT I never had any symptoms early with my other two pregnancies. Only from about 8/9 weeks. You might be in with a chance stay positive :-) xx

@HE88 yes that happened for my mom they sent the prescription straight to the chemist. You can take antibiotics when pregnant if you are. I had quite a few infections when I was pg. they’re not nice! I hope you feel better soon xx

@VP91x 😂😂😂 Rush to finish haha. it just didn’t happen for us. I was like no let’s leave it haha. We did try it in the morning before he woke up to be fair which is always risky! So we had to wait for him to take a nap!

@VP91x honestly yesterday my IC was so faint. Today it’s a tiny bit darker. And my CB this morning was a flashy yesterday it was a circle. It’s happened very fast 😂 my natural cycles app says I’ll ovulate Thursday so maybe the CB are more sensitive x

@SmileyT. I’m alright thanks. Feeling rather impatient today for some reason. Today the road ahead feels so long! Af is extremely light too. Cd3 and it’s barely filling a pad. It was weird, like it came on really fast and quick for a day then light for two days. I had a shorter cycle so my lining may be thin if that’s it?? So feel like I never really had a shot! and that’s disheartening. Honestly I’m sick of my body being all over the place!

Cd24 for you now is it? How are you feeling? I’m hoping you get some good news soon Xxx

Hey @Mommybear05 I ended up phoning the Dr he has sent a prescription for antibiotics to the chemist for me. I'll need to phone the chemist tomorrow to find out when I can pick them up. He was asking me if I was pregnant and I was eh I don't know I could be I could not be. Xx

@SmileyT odd isn’t it. In the past they’ve always matched too... maybe it’s just a bad batch of IC I’ve only got 1 left so will use that tomorrow afternoon and see what it says. It’s also about 4 days early for me this month too but it’s the 1st proper cycle I’ve had since
I’ve been doing the SMEP this month too. It’s exhausting, romance has well and truly been forgotten 😂🙈

@Hayleylou89 yeah it's probably a good idea to take it out after it says. I will try not to fall asleep tonight afterwards!! Eek xx

@Sallyjo27 you're giving me hope that my Cb will go static even though IC is still faint. I think CB is more sensitive anyway or gives you a bigger window?

@Dipsy77 sorry that AF has come hope are feeling okay and that your partner feels better!!🤞

@Mommybear05 ahh, I had a similar situ the other night. My partner literally was finishing and I heard my daughter wake up 😂 he rushed to er, finish off properly. We had the fear she would come running in! Xx

@Dipsy77 sorry to hear AF came! I was told it means your body is doing what it needs to, to get back to normal. Fingers crossed for next month!
@mommybear05 I know! No idea what’s going on but will persevere 😂 I’ll keep testing with ic tomorrow

@VP91 I didnt leave it in as i dnt want to get UTI or any other bacterial issues as i suffer with UTI's so took it out, as it says to only leave it in an hour but found it much better than it all leaking out fingers crossed for us 🙏 x

@mumoftwobeauts hello and welcome to the board :) wishing you lots of ttc luck :)
