Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 3

@Leok83 is your appointment for reccurent mc referral? Or the fertility mot?

Good thyroid is really important. According to my doc here... so that's definitely one thing on your side! She said the lower the better to have a smart baby (huh) lol

@ApplePie86 welcome and sorry you find yourself here... from having followed this group since Jan i can say there isn't really such a thing as more fertile after a MC (more of a myth). But definitely good outcomes in the first couple of cycles after..most of us here are already a few cycles post MC but still very much obsessed and into the ttc like every month will be our month! So you found the right place 😊
And btw for this cycle you definitely have a chance. All you need is one time 💙

@scrumdiddly123 sorry AF got you too. Hope you are doing ok.

It’s so frustrating when it’s all you want and do so much but yet can’t control when it happens. Oh well back to POAS addiction in 10days with OPKs.

@SunnySideUp2020 really pleased to hear how positive your Dr was. Hope you will be getting your BFP really soon.

Hello,

Hoping I can join you lovely lot 😊

Have had my first miscarriage (and first pregnancy) over the last few weeks. It was extremely early but took around 3 weeks to completely go (in fact there's still HCG from today's blood test). I was bleeding and in lots of pain for the full 3 weeks which was an absolute delight 🙄. Genuinely didn't think such an early loss could be that painful 😞

I think I ovulated the day the bleeding stopped CD18 so I'm about 3DPO today. Only DTD CD17 and 18 and given the circumstances I'm not holding much hope although I did hear that you're more fertile the month after miscarrying so maybe that's promising.

Hoping you all get your BFPs this cycle 🤞

Sorry @ELM7, hope you’re ok xx

@ELM7 &@scrumdiddly123 so sorry AF arrived for you both😢 make sure to have lots of chocolate or wine and spoil yourselves. xx

@Annny27 how lovely would it be for you to get a BFP from ov on your due date..I really hope it happens for you. I’m not sure wether to count today as CD1 or ovulation day cause ran out of opks! Had small temp rise today so will wait a couple days and see what fertility friends logs as ovulation and go with that!

@SunnySideUp2020 that’s really great they can clear the polyps and you can get back to trying straight away..must feel good to get all those issues sorted and start on a clean slate.

My bloods all came back good so far. Even though my last TSH last year was 3.2 and gp thought might need meds it came back as 2.28 and no thyroids antibodies so doesn’t look like I’ll need meds after all. Have my referral appointment with gynae booked for sat the 13th now.

@ELM7 oh no! Sorry 😞

And that’s me out for another month with the arrival of AF 😩

Hope the rest of you Ladies are doing ok.

I’m out, AF arrived this morning 👎🏻

@SunnySideUp2020 I'm glad everything has gone well! It's great your doctor seems so positive, that's a good sign. And great you can ttc this month too! Fingers crossed for you! I loved that feeling of having 5 vodka shots. The anaesthetist told me i would feel like I'd had a few glasses of wine and I remember saying great because I hadn't touched any for over 10 weeks at that point 😂 probably a little inappropriate considering the circumstances.

@Leok83 that's definitely a positive looking opk there!

@Annny27 is it your due date today? Maybe it is a sign! No sign of AF for me and the brown spotting has been pretty much nothing today just slightly tinged sometimes 😒

@scrumdiddly123 sorry it was a bfn. I wish there were more distinguishable symptoms between pregnancy and af.

We've had another pregnancy announcement today from more friends. Same old, I'm happy for them but had a cry as it just feels so unfair that it seems to be working out for everyone else but us. I'm trying not to be bitter but when you've had a loss and now an uncooperative uterus to boot it all feels quite hard to swallow today 😒.

Amazing willpower @ELM7 well done! I’m terrible, as soon as I get past 7dpo I can’t stop POAS 😳 fingers crossed AF stays away for us both x

Glad it’s all over and done with @SunnySideUp2020 and you’re feeling ok! Great that the doctor is so positive it’ll
Happen for you now! 🤞🏻 I’m sure it will! We’re certainly ready for some more BFPs on here xx

@Annny27 we posted together i think.
She said to start dtd in 4 days to maximise chances this cycle.
And to try july and august.
And if nothing then they will do an insemination... but she is fairly confident i ring her to tell her we got a bfp before 😁

@scrumdiddly sorry it was negative xx

@ELM7 they are the same indeed but i found when i was pregnant they showed up a bit earlier and lasted more than a day..

@Leok83 nice positive! Enjoy the bding! 😊

@Annny27 would be lovely that this cycle is your rainbow 🌈 fingers crossed

@Fizzl glad your gp also realised that 6 weeks is not normal for someone or typically has regular cycles. When will u get swabs results?

The doctor said now my uterus should be perfect. She gave me super strong supplements.
Folic acid 1000 (compared to 400 in uk)
Iron and vitamin D on top
She said we should resume sex in 5 days and try this month and next and she is hopeful it will happen

11 or 12dpo today and BFN, even wasted a FRER 😫 I woke up feeling so sick, had a couple of dizzy spells this morning and a hot flush which are usually my go to preg signs! But tests are absolutely stark white 👎🏻
My bleeding stopped and just got brown dc again! Driving me mad I just want to know! Usually have a 12 day LP so AF will be due tomorrow or Friday x

@SunnySideUp2020 glad it’s all done and you are feeling like yourself again. Make sure you take it easy though.

I do hate that AF symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms are the same. I am determined not to waste a test until AF is due on Sat. We will see how my willpower holds out. RHR has dropped again this morning so would be more surprised if AF didn’t show than if she did. Only a few more days to go and I should know one way or another.

@Annny27 welcome to the TWW - I really hope your angel baby has sent you a rainbow.

@annny27
I just had discomfort and pains towards the end of cycle which since the mc have been a lot more intense like waking me up at night.
I dont know if that was the cause but we will see... i also have heavy and long periods.

The drugs have worn off i am now just a bit tired but feeling myself again!!

Thanks @Fizzl for sharing your experience. I’ve never had any surgery or a general anaesthetic either, and I’m really hoping the recovery is not too bad. But it is reassuring to know lots of people have been through this and been fine. I hope your confused uterus sorts itself out soon!

@Leok83 it’s been 3 weeks because I had my dating scan where it was discovered, then had to wait a week for a follow up scan and appointment at EPU. By that point I had started bleeding so I opted to wait to see if it happened naturally. But the bleeding stopped last week so I went for another scan where they said the sac is still there so I decided to have the surgery as I can’t handle the waiting any more! I think we will try the CB ones when actually TTC but just want to get some cheap ones for this month to keep an eye on my cycle. Interesting about the false positive risk though. I’ve never tried temping.

@SunnySideUp2020 glad your procedure went ok.

@SunnySideUp2020 I’m CD 15 today so I’m pretty happy it’s not a late ovulation this cycle. Best of luck today!!

@scrumdiddly123 sorry it looks like AF on the way 🙁

@BeeMakesTea wow 3 weeks is a long time to wait. I had mine the day after I found out about MMC. The wait must be awful for you. The OPKs can give a false positive is HCG still in system so I found temping more accurate after. If using opk I use the easy@home. Did use CB advanced ones for a while which are very good but also very expensive and now I know on average when ov is I don’t get those anymore.

@Fizzl that’s good, hopefully they get to the bottom of it soon.

@ELM7 those can also be symptoms so don’t lose hope!

Got my peak this morning 😊 CD15..was at 4 am so not sure if ov will be today or tomorrow. Did another this morning and still looks peak but premom reading it as a bit lower and typically I have now run out of opks!

I meant they put me to sleep and apparently cut out all the polyps...

@ELM7 these sound like early pregnancy symptoms too... will you test before af?

I am awake from the procedure.

Initially they didnt give me GEneral anaesthetic. Just something in the canula that made me feel like i had 5 shots of vodka one after the other. It obviously made easier the hysteroscopy and although i felt strong cramps it was much easier to deal with feeling so out of it lol
But she said i have lots of small polyps which need removal otherwise chances of successful pregnancy are low. So they gave me the general and i was out.
Now i just have like period cramps continuously but nothing unbearable. I am laying down in the recovery room waiting for someone to tell me i can eat!!!!
