Pregnancy after MMC

@Bells993 it was on the 15th April. Just trying not to get too obsessed with it all, but finding it hard, especially with being stuck at home all the time!!

@Frankincense88 thanks so much 😊

@Leaf87 I'm using pre-seed! Will let you know it 2-3 weeks whether it's any good 😂😂

@Bells993 yeah I think she will be in full flow by tomorrow! @Frankincense88 yes I am happy she is here I can draw a line under everything and start again. Just trying to tell myself to try and relax about it all but easier said then done sometimes!!!
I haven't bothered reintroducing caffeine, I love decaf tea now and everytime someone makes me a normal cup I think it tastes funny! I shall spend the weekend eating soft cheese and drinking wine! May as well make the best of it!!

@Bells993 I know what you mean I have spent seven week waiting for her return but trying to see the positives. Fingers crossed she doesn't show and we get some good news.

Who said they were trying pre-seed.. we need a product review 😂

@newbiejourney welcome lovely and so sorry for your loss. Sounds like you've been through it. We are all in a very similar looking boat and this is a really nice thread so lots of positivity and friendly ladies.

@Leaf87 sorry to hear AF has made an appearance and it's all a bit crap. On the positive side at least you know where you are with your cycle now and can look forwards. I definitely feel a bit more positive since mine has arrived, feel like my body is starting to reset and prepare for next time.

@Bells993 still no AF? What CD are you on now? Def enjoy a wine or two this weekend and try to not worry about testing again for another week. X

CD13 here and still no peak day according to CB OPK but have had high fertility so been trying as much as possible. Hopefully will be ovulation day in the next couple of days. Had some weird lower back cramps last night but no symptoms today - just a headache which I think is because I'm trying to cut caffeine in preparation 😩 although I went right off tea and coffee last time so didn't have any caffeine cravings anyway!

Hope you're all doing ok! Xo

@newbiejourney I shall be joining with G&T tonight as well!! I can not decide on ovulation sticks this month or not ... not sure if it will add to much pressure as I will have to test everyday incase my cycle has changed!! I think i am going to make sure we DTD every other day!! My husband is pleased AF arrived as we didnt really get much practice last time as I caught first time of having unprotected sex . I am fully aware i dont think it will be as easy as that this time around!!!!

Hey @Leaf87 @MrsTtobe sorry to hear that you're in the same situation ☹️. My husband is being positive saying that it's my body resetting itself etc but it's hard to think like that I'll be honest!

Ordered some ovulation sticks so we can be more precise next month. 🤞 that we're all more lucky.

Will definitely be having a G&T tonight!

Hi @newbiejourney nice you have joined us even in horrible circumstances. As @MrsTtobe say we are all in similar boats and it is nice to have people to talk to!
I had a D&C on the 02 April baby stopped growing at 11.5 weeks.
We are all ready try again, my Af looks like she has finally made an appearance today, bitter sweet. We have been DTD but in my heart I knew that it wouldn't be straight away. I am hoping now to draw a line under everything and start afresh!! Keeping all fingers and toes crossed we get good news in the next few months.

@Leaf87 hope you enjoyed your wine lovely. You deserve it xx

Hi @newbiejourney I'm so sorry to hear that. That must have been very hard for you to go through.
Think we're all in the same boat regarding conceiving straight after miscarriage. I know personally I was hoping I was pregnant straight after as the internet seems full of people conceiving straight after. But it wasn't to be and my first AF arrived Friday. 😔 Its horrible but hoping we all get there eventually ❤

Hi ladies,

I really hope that you don't mind me joining you? I had to have a surgical termination of my 2nd pregnancy back in April as the 12 week scan showed that baby's skull hadn't formed properly and wasn't compatible with life 😢. Very, very shocked and sad, especially as we have a healthy 2 year old.

I really want to get pregnant again ASAP, but despite my DH and I doing the deed pretty much constantly since I stopped bleeding after the surgery, AF unexpectedly showed up today. Not feeling at all positive with everything, especially after reading that you can me very fertile after a termination. Just feel like I want to chat to others who have been in similar circumstances as I don't know anyone IRL who have been through this. Xx

@MrsTtobe I know, I wasnt expecting it to be positive. I just really want AF to show I am bloated and feel like she is around!! But you are right i have no idea when i ovulated so it's hard. I am still having a wine tonight tho!!
I hope you have all enjoyed the sunshine today

@Leaf87 try not to be too disheartened. Our bodies have been through a lot and therefore our cycles are understandably all over the place. For all you know you might have only just ovulated a few days ago or could be tomorrow, you just don't know so just keep dtd! You're not out yet x

Ladies I cracked..... just tested BFN
I dont feel pregnant so not surprised. However I am desperate for my Af to return 7 weeks now... feeling annoyed

Thanks for the recommendations! Will look at getting some when AF shows ups.

@Bells993i know its hard I am heading towards day 46/48 lost count. Still no sign but feel so bloated I think she is teasing me!!! Urge to test is sooo strong, maybe I will crack tomorrow.

@Frankincense88 have a good few days then we can all start the TWW with you!

@MrsTtobe Haha, it's going to be a busy week in this house😂 I wasn't expecting a flashing smiley for a few days as I don't usually ovulate until around day 16/17 and last time I used them I went straight from 'low fertility' to 'peak fertility' we DTD twice that weekend and that was when we conceived. So would def recommend them but we'll see what happens this month I guess!

@Leaf87 fingers crossed for Friday. 🙏 if you have a test in the house you have some strong willpower not to test. 🤣

@msanne thank you lovely. X

@Frankincense88 it's your time to shine then lovely 🤣🤣 I expect not to hear from you for a couple of days while you're 'busy' 🤣🤣
I don't track so as soon as this AF over (fingers crossed today or tomorrow) we will be back to our every other day. 😴🤣

@Leaf87 - these are the cheapy ones i bought:

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-X-ULTRA-EARLY-10mIU-HOME-PREGNANCY-HCG-URINE-KIT-TESTS-TEST-STRIPS-STRIP/131752074468

They're only £2 for 10 which is a bargain - but so far only showing negatives on it (i tested again this morning - boo)! I've been having awful cramping as well so was sure AF may be arriving early but just not sure. My mouth (specifically my toungue) also feels really odd, almost numb. But I can still taste everything so god knows what is happening!

The G&T was amazing - i must have another tonight methinks! I finished working about 8pm but have been on calls since 8am - the whole of this week is madness. Roll on the BHWE I say!

I'm also with you - I didn't use OPK this month - so if AF does arrive I will need to get some of them too. Did you ladies go for the cheaper OPK kits or for the Clearblue? Is there a difference?

@Frankincense88 - have fun :) and @MrsTtobe a new cycle for you and new good news hopefully too!

Have a great day ladies xoxo

Morning ladies! @Frankincense88 @MrsTtobe I am hanging on till friday... i had period like grumbling last night so expected to wake up this morning to AF but nope nothing. It's hard as having to guess when I may have ovulated.I do not have any cheap tests any recommendations??
If Af shows up I think I will try tracking my ovulation next month as well so throw all your recommendations at me!

@msanne I hope you enjoyed your G&T you deserve it!! And I hope you were not is to late working. I have a day of virtual catch up's with my team

@leaf87 second vote for the cheapy tests - I bought a 30 pack from Amazon for about a fiver as after my MMC I had to wait for a negative and didn't want to waste my expensive ones.

@MrsTtobe I'm also only going to test if I'm late from now on - I spent a sickening amount of money on tests last time for it to turn out badly anyway. Not making that mistake again! I've got a digital clearblue leftover and a Home Bargains one I think alongside my cheapies!

Flashing face smiley on the CB OPK today ladies so you know what that means! 😂

Got my fingers crossed for you both 🙏🙏 come on test @Leaf87 the suspense is killing me. 😂
Im determined not to have any in the house because I know I will be trying constantly. Only going to test if I'm at least 3 days late in future.

Should be finishing this period today or tomorrow so will be ovulating soon 😬😬 I'm nervous and excited to get going again. X

@Leaf87 - did you get some of those cheapy test strips. I got some off ebay for a steal and they're working out well for when I do cave in (first time this morning). I wasted too many of the more expensive ones last time when I tested far too early!

I've got my G&T in hand - still working though. Killer week at work so will be burning the midnight oil for all the wrong reasons!

Positive vibes back to you and wishing positive testing too! xx

@msanne finding it very hard not to do the test that is in my bathroom right now! I keep telling myself I will not test till Wednesday but I am getting twitchy! I just need to know either way its driving me mad. Have a G&T life has to have some normality!

I hope you all had a good weekend, keep positive girls!
