TTC after MC - May 2020 Part 2

@2020wish Thanks. I've been on these threads since around January and keep seeing people getting their BFPs. It gives me hope x

Welcome @Ejb86 that is horrendous:( so sorry you had to go through that. I couldnt imagine. Welcome to the thread and best of luck in getting a new sticky bean

@VP91 hope ur ok.. give it time them flashies had me wanting to crack up last month but hang in there and it will hopefully come soon and i would have missed mine this month as it went from low in the AM to peak just 5 hours later! So keep doing them cheapies maybe 3 times a day as thats what made me do a second clear blue later on even when it had said low and cb say not to test twice on a low day 🙏 xx

Morning ladies. Thanks for the add @VP91x

Bit of my background story. Last June I found out I was pregnant. Went for an early scan but was told it was too early and to re book. We were going on holiday so rebooked for when we got back. Whilst on holiday I was extremely tired and struggled with simple things like walking upstairs.

We got back and had the second scan, all was well and she thought she could see 2 heartbeats! Asked us to come back again the next week to confirm. 2 heartbeats were found and twins were confirmed. Twins were sharing a sac and a placenta so very high risk.

12 week scan came and went with no problems and we were booked in for scans every 2 weeks from 16 weeks. 16 week scan came and both babies had no heartbeat. Devastated doesn't begin to describe it. Had a post mortem done and waited 12 weeks for results. My identical girls had tangled their cords so badly that nothing could get through to them.

We left it a few months before starting TTC again, and started trying in Jan. Currently in our 6th cycle of TTC. Cycles have been all over the place. Generally ovulate around cd19/20 but AF has been arriving as early as CD24.

Ahh @VP91x it is very frustrating when it doesn't appear to be coming, how many days have you had of flashys now? It's so easy to think the worst but spend a few minutes thinking about how your body is taking its time to prepare for ovulation which is good as it's picking the perfect egg. Also your chart kinda makes sense that CB has detected oestrogen so your temp was dropping, really hoping you get your peak tonight xx

@VP91x are you checking few times a day? It’s so frustrating isn’t it. Fingers crossed something gives and it happens. This is my chart, temp today is way off cause of alarm waking me earlier and then lost temp probe and had to sit up to look for it then tried to go back to sleep but DH decided to get ready for work in bedroom and keep me awake so dunno why I even took my temp.

@VP91x hang in for another few days, you aren’t out until AF arrives. It could be ur cervix opening for ovulation. With everything our bodies have went through it’s probably just still adjusting

I’m giving up on temping. My measuring times are so inconsistent cause of my Dh and his alarms and snoring all night. My graph won’t detect a cover line. Think I news to just give it up lol

@kangaroo77 I think you were in the same September club as me ?
So Sorry to hear of your loss here hoping we get our BFPs soon x

Hi @@DontStandSoClose your situation sounds quite similar to myself:
I was also pregnant with my 3rd child, but miscarries on the 9th April at 8+4 weeks.
My first cycle returned exactly 4 weeks from the date of MC, and I ovulated later. As my cycles are normally around 25 days, and also get ovulation pains.

I am on CD 12, hoping to ovulated this weekend, been DTD every other day.
I've never used Ovulation tests, wouldn't even know where to start. If we are not successful this month I may have to look into them.

Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Hey to everyone who is new and from the previous thread ...Wishing u all the luck this cycle 🙏🌈 x

I only started trying in March/April for our 3rd child and got pregnant first cycle but I miscarried at 6 weeks a couple of weeks ago. We are getting straight back to it but annoyingly I think my cycle is now off, I normally have 26 day cycles and ovulate day 11 like clockwork, I get ovulation pains so it’s quite obvious when I’m ovulating. I’ve been so so lucky up to now to get pregnant on the first month every time we have tried, last month we only had sex twice, but on very targeted days. Now we are having to have sex every 2 days which though it’s lovely (reminds me of our uni days 😆) when you have a 4 year old and 2 year old is difficult and tiring!

It sounds ridiculous to say but I’m just not used to so much effort, I’ve even bought ovulation tests which only arrived day 11 and so far I’ve had nothing on them. I’ve been so chilled the other times I’ve tried and it just happened immediately, I literally couldn’t believe our luck last month it happening again, but now I’m slowly turning into an obsessive person I don’t recognise!! I have no idea when I’m going to ovulate which I just find so annoying when it’s so easy and predictable normally.

When did other people ovulate after an early miscarriage? Did it push the day back?

@VP91x I hope so!! I read online to leave it 3-7 days after a suspected implantation bleed to test so I’ll test Saturday and update the thread! Thanks hun, I hope so too xx

@VP91x I did try and monitor CM and got watery/clear CM on 1st May, sorry TMI.

I’m new to this whole cycle tracking and knowing what to look for as in all honesty, we just thought it wouldn’t happen for us and would need fertility treatment so to catch naturally was amazing for us then after the MMC I’ve become obsessed with knowing every single detail in what to track etc it’s just so hard with PCOS as sometimes I can go months without AF. I’m keeping everything crossed for BFP and not AF after today’s suspected implantation x

Hiya!

I hope it’s okay to join in!

So my story is,

I’m 26 with PCOS and was TTC for 3 LONG years, I finally got my BFP in March and booked a private scan which confirmed I was 6w6d and we saw the heartbeat etc. I had no idea I was pregnant because the PCOS sends my cycles wild.

At my hospital scan at 9 weeks they couldn’t find heartbeat and it was confirmed a MMC and I was given pessaries to kickstart the miscarriage as I hadn’t miscarried naturally, I had these on the 31st March and it took until 23rd April for my HGC to go back to normal and produce a negative test. We knew we wanted children so got back on TTC and due to my irregular cycles we didn’t know when I would ovulate so just took each day as it comes and now for 3 days my boobs have been so sore and today after urinating when I wipe there’s a pink smear on the toilet paper so I’m hoping this was implantation and not AF! Does anyone have any similar stories. Xx

Just writing on here to follow the thread. Although I don’t post on here much, I like to keep up with how everyone is getting on and to read all your advice 😄. I hadn’t heard of SMEP before reading about it on here but giving it a go this month!

5th day in a row of flashing smiley so still waiting for my peak! X

Hi to everyone who has joined xxx sorry for your losses and sending lots of luck for BFPs🌈 xx

@TinaTurtle i had a similar experience! Fell pregnant first try Jan this year, and miscarried at the end if feb. It was a MMC, so although my dates meant I should have been 9week, I hadn’t progressed past 5weeks and 2 days. I’m 36 so desperate to fall pg again - this would be oh and mines first child. Agree with the exploitation - there’s so much you can get!!

@SmileyT hopefully!! Haha, we’ve somehow ended up DTD the last two days so if the peak does come tomorrow I’m going to be knackered by Sunday!!

@VP91x I haven’t said it’s an actual plan either, but he is keen anyway haha. Hopefully you get the peak soon xx

Hello ladies

Hope you don't mind me joining. I'm Cycle 2 after tfmr. I think I'm 1-2 days past ovulation as I'm not fully tracking it and I think I missed the positive opk window due to not being consistent, but ewcm has dried up so seems roughly right 😄. I'm CD20 and usually 34 days cycle.

Feels strange doing all this again. I seem to spend most of my time excited about trying and falling and then terrified of all the hurdles. My SIL is due in a week. All feels a bit odd at mo.

Hope everyone's doing ok xxx. Good luck!
