TTC after miscarriage - May 2020

@Hayleylou89 I have left it in overnight each time I have used it as I always fall asleep after! But I am sure that's normal! Did you get on with it okay? X

@Sallyjo27 that’s crazy 🙈 I’d trust the clearblue. Like you say plenty of dtd anyway! 😁

@Dipsy77 sorry af got you! I’m on my period too. It sucks! But if it’s your first period since the mc it’s also good to help your body to try and find its rhythm again. Shame about dps back. Give him lots of back rubs with the candles. Show you care and use some nice aromatherapy oils. I’m sure it will help relax both of you. Xx

@SmileyT thank you, I’ve just done another IC Ovulation test and there’s a faint line but the clearblue test now has a static smilie not sure which one is correct? Suppose it doesn’t matter we will keep DTD over the next few days x

@2020wish sorry to hear about the letter. This happened to me too and it really stung. It reminded me of when I was expecting my son and how exciting it was. You are right you would expect them to communicate more as clearly this happens often. I hope you are ok... and also regarding your 9 year old- we tried dtd the other day and my son was asleep in his cot next door and he woke up so couldn’t finish 🙈 I feel your pain!

@HE88 that sounds like it could be a water infection. Funnily enough my mom has one at the moment and I went to pick up antibiotics for her. You can have a phone consultation with your gp and they can prescribe xx

Well that's me out this month AF is now here with a bang !, even though my MMC was feb this was my first cycle due to the prolonged bleeding and needing more medication for retained product. I'm going to try SMEP next cycle that's if my DP is up to it with his back I'm so stressed with it and feel so bad because he is in so much pain and there isn't really much anyone can do for him till physios are back up and running x

He everyone hope you’re all ok.

@Niisa that’s been my approach lately- just dtd quite a lot. It didn’t work for me this month but I felt more happier and more myself around the month. And I wasn’t quite as disheartened when af showed as I hadn’t invested as much time peeing on sticks. However, if I don’t have any luck soon I think I will track things a little more. My cycles are so all over the place right now I just don’t know what to expect! But if you’re in a position to dtd lots then go for it!

@SmileyT I know what you mean about worrying when we get pregnant again. I feel like it’s such a long road ahead- conceiving and then waiting for scans! It seems such a marathon of emotions. But we have no choice but to be strong and find a way to get through this :)

@VP91 soo i used the ferti lily earlier and took it out about 1.5 hour later there was small amount of "residue" shall we call it 🤦🏽‍♀️ in the cup when i took it out is that normal?
But i loved it literally no mess at all! 🤞🏻🌈

I had a miscarriage on the 5th April and bleed for 7-10 days - we then had sex on 26th April and the pregnancy test is showing pregnant - could that be I am actually pregnant or that after 7 weeks my hormones levels are still high? Has anyone had this?
Thanks x

@Hayleylou89 we are literally identical, I had strong positive 2pm yesterday then this morning faded!! We could have the exact same due date if we're successful! Haha

@SmileyT I'll do it tonight and tomorrow just to be safe 😂😂

@Renna thanks for the reassurance... iv been getting quite strong ovulation pains today so i think somethings happening .... will dtd and use the ferti lily tonight :) x

@Hayleylou89 think you're fine babe just because the lines faded doesnt mean ovualtion happened , it can happen like a day after you get your peak so could be tonight ... and you DTD yday as well as tonight so deffo covered xxx

@2020wish I also got a call from the midwife about my 16 week appointment.. few weeks after MC she was so apologetic saying the message should have been passed on. Doesnt look like it gets done ! Does suck xxx sending hugs xxxxx

@Hayleylou89 that sounds similar to me - apparently it is rapid onset Lh surge (I read a lot of LH surge science journals this weekend 😂) OH and I dtd day of peak and day after - 🤞🏻 For you :)

@Niisa I get the home health ones on ebay there so cheap x

Thanks @Bellabubble i got my peak on cb yest afternoon but last night at about 9pm it got really dark on the ic then its faded today so will dtd tonight and hopefully tomorrow too 🤞🏻

@Hayleylou89 I’n just catching up so this is probably already answered! But I was doing a lot of LH research this week during my opk tracking - you ivulate 10-12 hours after the peak - so the darkest line you get. Some people have a slow overall surge to get to their peak - but I discovered mine goes from barely making a line on the stick to super dark by the next day, then it frops back down the day after!! It’s like my body wants to run on military precision! So def today and tomo drd for sure :)

@2020wish sorry to hear that! I had to cancel my midwife appointment as almost a month after my MC, I was still being asked to confirm if I would attend!!! I hadn’t realized fasting could affect it! Just been fasting for the last week & a half or so for Ramadan. AF meant I missed the first week of fasting xx

@2020wish ahh crap, I'm sorry that happened. I had a call on the day of what would have been my 12 week asking me if I was ok and why I didn't attend. I felt bad for the lady ringing who now had an upset person on the other end of the phone and for myself. Hope you are okay xx

@VP91x could be ovulation spotting, never had it but have read about it

@Hayleylou89 yea best just DTD all the time 😂

@Niisa have you always fasted during the day? As that can messed up ur cycles and ovulation if it’s a new thing. Just a thought

Bit of a downer today.. was feeling good and then my 12 week scan appointment/booking appointment letter came through the door today. You would think they would communicate within the departments of a mc :(

@Hayleylou89 which cheapies do you use? I may give them a go xx

@Niisa it might be that they have changed and ur testing too early , would u not get cheapies as i do find these really reliable especially since using them alongside cb sticks they are really accurate and saves u using so many sticks x

@Hayleylou89 I started testing early - from CD7 onwards simply because when I got pregnant in January, we only DTD once on CD9 so thought it wouldn’t hurt to start testing early lol from this cycle I’ll be able to figure out the window of ovulation. Currently in my 2nd cycle post AF. Would be annoying if my cycles were to change now as my cycles are sooo regular I got my first AF exactly 4 weeks after first day of MC
