Pregnancy after MMC

@Frankincense88 could you be pregnant at all and it's implantation blood? Your on CD 33 same as me aren't you? Have you dtd much since miscarriage?

@MrsTtobe me too! I've had next to nothing today after thinking that AF has started so don't know what to think now! Xx

@Frankincense88 thank you. Just want to be able to start trying again properly and knowing where I stand with my cycles. I feel useless at the minute.

@MrsTtobe I had 2 x doses of the medication as the first lot didn't work. I'm not sure about whether means of management can relate to how long it takes your body to settle back into a natural cycle - I think it has something to do with how regular you were pre MMC but not 100% sure! Hopefully yours arrives soon so you can have peace of mind! Xx

@Frankincense88 I'm CD 33 today too so hopefully my AF not too far away and I can just get it out of the way. Did you have natural miscarriage or procedure? Do you think it makes any difference to when AF arrives whether you've had natural miscarriage or the procedure?

Welcome @LondonYankee379 what a worry for you and sorry for your loss. I found it so hard having to tell everyone it had happened. We had pretty much told everyone after our 8 week scan. I was 11 weeks when I miscarried.

I've saw some women ovulate straight away and AF comes 28 days after miscarriage and ive saw some women like yourself where it has taken a little longer and some that it has taken months so I guess it's just a waiting game for me although I've had all the signs this week of AF. Sore boobs, bad skin, mild cramping, OH pissing me off 🤣so praying im pregnant but guessing it's just AF on the way soon.

@LondonYankee379 Welcome! So sorry for your loss - I found it really hard telling people I'd got excited with and started planning things with, it's definitely made me more cautious about telling fewer people next time.

I think AF turned up yesterday CD 33. Very very light though (I don't normally have very heavy cycles anyway but was much much lighter than normal) so I'm hoping that it'll just pick up now and in a week or so I'll be getting out the OPK once again.

Hope you're all enjoying a restful bank holiday weekend 💕

Hi everyone! Sadly I’m posting as I’m also in this club. I found out in February at a 10 week scan that the baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks 4 days and had a D and C shortly thereafter. It was my first pregnancy and we got pregnant the first cycle of trying so it was all a bit of a shock. I had also started telling some friends and family after the 8 week scan showed a heartbeat so was even harder to have to tell everyone about it when they were checking in on me. Anyway, wanted to let people know that it took 8.5 weeks after the procedure for AF to arrive. I was getting very worried about how long it was taking but it took me almost 4 weeks to get a negative pregnancy test and I think it’s right that it’s only then that your body resets. I had been googling and was getting worried about having Asherman’s syndrome (basically a complication from the surgery) but of course right after I made an appointment with my doctor AF returned! We are trying this cycle and fingers crossed everything is working normally but it is comforting to hear what other people have gone through and I hope we are all in the majority of people who go on to have successful healthy pregnancies after miscarriages! X

I'm cd 32 now if I take my first day as first day of miscarriage. My boobs are really tender and ive had back ache. Surely it's too early to be pregnant? I'm too scared to do a test because it seems ridiculous. My miscarriage was only 4 weeks ago. Maybe signs AF due...

Hope you're all ok and having a nice weekend.

Hi all sorry busy day!!
I think maybe my AF is due around the 20th May. However I can not be sure six weeks In from D&C surley it will make an appearance soon. @MrsTtobe fingers crossed that's all I can say!!
I hope everyone has nice plans for the long weekend! Time to relax unwind and have plenty of time to TTC

Ive just been sitting here thinking about us all and im so hopeful that we can all get our rainbow babies together and help each other along the way. 🌈❤

Good morning all,

@Bells993 AF is due for me on the 23rd according to my Glow app so will need to wait and see. As I have only had one full cycle since the termination I am not sure how long my cycle length is now so will have to wait and see. Trying to DTD as often as possible to maximise chances as I don't know when I am ovulating.

@MrsTtobe - thanks for the supplement information.

@bubblybon2020 and@MrsBlue1986 - sorry for your recent losses. I hope that together we can all get our rainbow babies for 2021! It all does seem surreal when it happens to you, as you never believe it can happen to you. But you will get through it - just make sure you reach out for support! You're not alone!

xx

Morning ladies,

Well my MMC was on the 6th, took MM after a failed dose on the Friday and it started about 7pm, bled heavily with pain for about 4 hours then bled incredibly lightly for about 5 days after that. Had nothing for a few days but then last week had a bit of what I think was remains come away but only while on the toilet or showering and no pain (weird! And if was hardly anything and brown not red like AF) so no idea when ovulation was / will be, no idea when AF will arrive! I'm usually 28 days on the dot so hoping for this week! All a guessing game for now. I've got a 10 pack of CB OPK but don't want to waste them if I've already ovulated! Xx

Sorry for the morning essay 🤣 my 2 yr old had me up at 5 😴

Morning ladies, welcome @bubblybon2020
I have 2 children too, this was my third pregnancy but first miscarriage. I was shocked, my pregnancies had both been smooth sailing. I blamed myself for the first few days. I was 11 weeks pregnant and my miscarriage was 4 weeks ago now really. I bled lightly for 3 days then the actual miscarriage for 2 days. My cycles are pretty regular, 26 ish days so expecting AF anytime now really.
Like a few of the girls, we didn't wait with ttc again. I stopped bleeding after a few days and we got straight too it 🤣 but we haven't really discussed that we're 'trying' but we are both tying to be relaxed about it.
Hope you're well. We have all miscarried within a couple of weeks of each other on here and everyone lovely so we are all expecting AF or even better a positive pregnancy test sometime soon. 🙏

@msanne you asked about supplements. We started ttc in Oct 19, I was just taking pregnacare but I read somewhere about B6 lengthening the LP and since my cycles were quite short I tried it from 1st Jan, had a period end of Jan then the following month found out I was pregnant so maybe coincidental but maybe not. I will take it again after first AF but just wanted to let my body do its thing on its own first. Taking Pregnacare though. I took the vitamin b complex from H&B.

Hope you're all ok xx

@MrsBlue1986 I have absolutely no idea if I have or not - not going to track or monitor properly until my cycle is back to normal because I know I'll just spend hundreds of pounds on tests and work myself up over it like I did last time 😂🙃

Hi, found this thread and hope you don't mind me joining.

I had a natural miscarriage on the 9th April. Roughly 8 + 4, and the day before my first midwife appointment. I bled for around a week, and my period returned the exact cycle times as before MC, I got my first negative exactly 3 weeks after my mc too. We DTD a few times in the 2 weeks, but didn't have much luck!

I already have 2 children, this was my 3rd pregnancy, but my first miscarriage so was quite hard to understand it all, as it is to everyone. Hoping to try again this month. It's so nice to read such positive, encouraging posts from people in the same situation. Makes you know that your not alone.
I wish everyone luck and some baby dust. X

Thank you @Frankincense88
Did you ovulate during the last few weeks, because ive read that some women can ovulate 2 weeks after the miscarriage? Sorry for you too! Fingers crossed for us both xx

@MrsBlue1986 I think every woman feels the same be kind to yourself it's still a loss and a big shock for you. Fingers crossed for both of us it is just a one off.... I am keen to keep TTC... but also try not to become to focused... on the end goal! Easier said than done some times 🤣

@MrsBlue1986 No advice I'm afraid as still waiting for my cycle to return myself (4.5 weeks post MMC) but I am sorry this happened to you and sending lots of positive vibes xx

@leaf87 Ah im sorry to hear about you too! Its just so upsetting isnt it? Must be harder the longer you're pregnant 🙁

Thank you for your kind words, I guess its the build up of excitement...to nothing. We told our mums before, and they were supportive...surprised us by saying they both had them before they had us (30+ years ago mind!)

Im hoping this only happens for a few days and then i can get back to normal and start trying again!!! Xx

Hi @MrsBlue1986
I am really sorry to hear this, unfortunately that seems to be the standard from medical people. I am 32 (33 next week) very healthy, good weight first pregnancey and have struggled with not really knowing why it happened to me.... all my friends have had successful pregnancies first time and I very much had that why me... why do I have to be the 1 in four!

I Miscarried and had surgical management at 13 weeks the baby stopped growing at 11+5. That was six weeks ago tomorrow and I still havent got my AF yet and only had a negative pregnancey test Tuesday. I would say as your hormones haven't risen to much of your getting negative tests all ready your cycle should pick up where you left off?

I am by no means an expert. I have however found great comfort talking to these amazing women today ❤

Hi all. I have had a miscarriage or chemical pregnancy, (whatever you want to call it) today at 4 weeks and 3 days.

I had positive tests (from Wednesday last week until Monday this week). All was good, all usual pregnancy symptoms. (Tender breasts and nausea etc)

Yesterday, i did another test and noticed the line was slightly lighter.

Today, i woke up to thick brown discharge, followed by dark pink and then red bleeding, along with lots of cramping. I did another test, which had the faintest tiniest positive line. The doctor i rang said this sounds like a miscarriage, and to reconfirm next week with another test. She said 1 in 5 pregnancies have a miscarriage.

I am 33, 34 in August, generally fit and well.
This was our first pregnancy, and I am absolutely gutted from this outcome. I didnt think it would happen to me!!!

Does anyone have any insight as to how quickly their cycle/fertility comes back, as I am already super keen to start trying again!! And how long does it take to 'get rid' of what it is doing now?

Any advice!? Thanks xx
