TTC after miscarriage - May 2020

Thanks @SmileyT definitely no chance I'm still pregnant, I passed the fetus. It was very small.
The midwife didn't confirm (she didn't actually say much which is annoying...) but I think it had stopped growing at 6 or 7 weeks. Nothing was formed at all when it came out, could make out the head but not much else.

I'll test again on Monday with the same brand and hopefully get a negative. I've never wanted to see a negative pregnancy test as badly as I do now!

Now that I think back I had lower back pain at about 7 weeks but thought nothing of it as had no bleeding or other symptoms.

I'm going to be so paranoid about the slightest little niggle the next time.

Hey everyone from april thread ... sorry to see u here 👎 .. so rubbish but we got this!!

Who was it that said about the AVA bracelet yesterday ... i went and ordered one on ebay aswell and the. Realised my cycles are sometime 38 days and aparently they dont work well for cycles over 35 days 🙈🙈 but its on its way so ill give it a try and sell it on if it doesnt work for me!Anyone had experience using one with a slightly long than 35 day cycle ... i do also have random 35 day cycles too and iv had a 32 day cycle the month before falling pregnant 1st time x x

Morning ladies xx joining from the April thread . So into 2nd proper cycle of TTC after MC now . AF not yet in full flow but think she will later today .
My temp dropped yday so was an indicator .. although temp went back up today 🤔 and late last night and this morning notice CM was bloodshot and have typical AF cramps this morning .

So I think today will be CD1 , a 27 day cycle this time... although today is CD27 from last cycle so maybe that actually makes it a 26 day cycle ?
Next due to ovulate around may bank holiday the Thursday 7th /friday 8th may.

I want to keep in touch on here and see you all get your bfps but think I need to be less obsessive this cycle. So will more likely pop in and out of the thread rather than checking every day like I was .. ends up making me over think everything I think ! Had a good cry yday with DH as think it all just hit me .

They say when you "relax" more it happens... but I'm not sure how much to do /not do ... whether to temp or not and do opks or not ...
The month we conceived before MC we actually only DTD twice when got peak so I kinda think maybe we did it too much this time and it's better for us not to DTD loads..

Sorry to those other ladies joined xx wishing you and everyone in here lots of luck 🌈💞💙 we are deffo due BFPs in here this month! Dont think we had any in April thread so far xxx

Hi all, hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread.

I had a miscarriage over Easter weekend with my first pregnancy. I had my 12 week scan on Easter Monday, started spotting brown blood the Saturday before then properly bleeding the Sunday night. I passed clots and then the fetus overnight/very early on the morning of Easter Monday. I chose to still go to the scan to check if there were any complications. With the lockdown situation I wasn't given much information other than take a pregnancy test 2 weeks later.

I've been a bit impatient. stopped bleeding within a few days, took a cheap test I bought online and it came back negative. OH and I had sex after 8 days and all seemed fine.
We then had sex again the next day and afterwards I started to bleed a bit. I've been bleeding on and off a bit since then, nothing major but just when I wipe (sorry - tmi).
The blood worried me a bit so I've gone and bought a clear blue test and there's the faintest positive line still showing.

I've got no symptoms that make me think I might have an infection so far, so I'm hoping we maybe just disturbed something that hadn't quite healed yet.

We really want to ttc again ASAP.
Hoping for some positive similar stories!

I'll call my gp on Monday morning if the bleeding hasn't stopped. I could call the midwife line over the weekend but found them to be quite unhelpful and just overly sympathetic about the miscarriage with not much information, which really isn't what I need right now.

Sorry for the long post!

@Bellabubble hello sorry af got you! Yes I hate that spotting as it can give some indication of ib although that’s not always the case! Keep positive we will get some bfp here soon I’m sure :)

@Blozza welcome to the thread and sorry for your loss. It’s horrible when everything bad happens at the same time isn’t it. Must have been upsetting when you thought you were pg again 😔 but I’m sure you will find support on this thread. And you’re testing soon?

Getting really annoyed with AF I'm usually 27 days and bleed for 5 I'm now on CD8 still bleeding. I started spotting on the 14th AF started heavily on the 18th and still bleeding ,now although lighter it's so annoying, has anyone else had this ? X

Morning @Bellabubble sorry that this wasn't your month either. We definitely are due some BFPs this month so lots of luck to us all.

Welcome also @Blozza and @Isittimeforbubblesyet hope you are both ok xx

Hey ladies - can I join from the April thread? After 4 days of spotting it’s started to get heavier just this eve, so I suspect AF is due to arrive in all her glory bang on cd28 tomorrow (cruel body decided to give me spotting from 10dpo giving me some hope when it didn’t get heavier). Lots of positive vines and thoughts for everyone xx

@HE88 Thank you. I’m sorry to hear for your loss also and your diagnosis. Hopefully this is the month for you😊 x

It was quite surprising when I found out I was pregnant. My periods were still all over the place and horrendously painful having been in non stop contraception (mainly the injection) for about 10 years (I now remember why I stopped them).

although we weren’t using protection I didn’t think I had any time to ovulate and now, I never thought I’d be one to be constantly checking my ovulation times like a hawk and making sure we have sex leading up to and on and get my hopes up every month to be disappointed.

I didnt realise how ready and desperate I am for a baby until we had our miscarriage.

Hi @SmileyT Thank you. I am sorry for your loss also. Fingers crossed that this is the month for you! X

Hopefully we all get bfp’s soon🤞

@Isittimeforbubblesyet hello again and sorry to hear about your bfn this month :( and it’s a shame u haven’t conceived before the due date. Fingers crossed for a bfp this month xxx

Hi @Blozza sorry you find yourself here and what you have been through. I'm currently at the end of af so will be starting ttc again this cycle so will be testing mid May. Xx

Hi ladies,

I hope I can join. I had a MMC in October and have been TTC since then but no luck. Just waiting for AF to arrive now but have had a BFN so know this month is out for me. Feeling a bit crap as this was our last month to conceive before what would have been my due date 😔

So will be back on it for May. Just been reading about SMEP which I had never heard of! Thinking of giving this a go for next month. Does anyone know if the 3 consecutive days start with the static smiley face or the flashing face on the CB tests?

Really sorry that you are all here but fingers crossed for some positive stories soon

@SmileyT @Hayleylou89 fab, thank you both. I thought that would be the case! Xx

Hi Ladies,

Hoping I can join too?

Had a miscarriage just before 8 weeks and the first appointment with midwife in October last year. It was the most devastating time for me and my partner (the house we were buying also fell through and one of our rats died all in the space of a few days) bad luck really does come in 3’s!

Been TTC since we’ve miscarried and so far, no luck. I was so adamant I was pregnant last month (the house that fell through last year we have just reserved again, thought it was a sign after all the bad luck, the AF turned up and I’ve never felt so upset and disappointed!

I’m 4dpo at the moment and period is due on the 4th of May so really hoping this month is finally the month for us all!

How are all you ladies getting on? Any BFP’s yet?

@VP91
yeah so LH is always present in most women throughout ur cycle u will know when its peak when it gets alot darker xx

Ladies those of you that use cheap OPKs maybe @SmileyT @Hayleylou89

Do you normally get a line when you test at any time of the month? Just wondering what your pattern is like before AF is due. I tested today just to try out my sticks. Haven't POAS in a while 🙄 and got this. I uploaded into my femometer app and it said it was a high reading. I know obviously I won't be ovulating just wondered if it is usual.

Xx

@donnat89 oh I see! Good luck and fx you get a positive. They drive me insane haha

@MrsLBear I've not used OPKS before using them for my first cycle now and only using cheapies that say not to use
FMU . Will see how I get on with them xx

Yeah I've read that a few times saliva is bad for TTC something to do with the ph level or something.
Also think I misread the chat re opks. I never got a positive on IC opks unless I'm using the cb ones alongside. Think my surge is quite short maybe? And also I drink a lot of water in the day which obvs doesn't help.

@donnat89 @francis05 if you're using clear blue sticks then you should use fmu. They work a bit differently for some reason and recommend fmu 🤔

@SmileyT no saliva... the oh will NOT be happy if i tell him that there wont be any more of that this cycle haha... word of warning i used too much preseed and he didnt like it... dtd went tits up that day, so be warned too much can end in disaster 🙈😂 x
