TTC after MC - June 2020

I'm 31 TTC #1 after a MC in March this year, AF has just finished and I'm on CD6 and all ready to go for my 2nd full cycle.

This month I will be tracking with opks, CB connected, BBT and following SMEP plan.

@SmileyT I'm CD 14 if you count the day after I miscarried as the first day of my cycle.. not sure if thats quite right or not. Did my first opk since that this morning. Totally negative ☹ but to be expected i suppose..

Nannon145 · 26/05/2020 10:15

@1990EM that's okay. I know, it does sound like it but I still can't believe it. Wasn't expecting to ovulate this cycle. Especially on CD14!

1990EM · 26/05/2020 10:15

@elliew818 no judgement here 🙈 I've only just got a negative pregnancy test after my miscarriage so ready to start tracking cycles again.

1990EM · 26/05/2020 10:11

@Nannon145 oh that's good, sorry I misunderstood. Sounds like your cycle has normalised then! Amazing ⭐

Nannon145 · 26/05/2020 10:01

@1990EM I'm not bleeding any more. I haven't bled since 12th May 😃 just hoping this is my month x

elliew818 · 26/05/2020 08:17

@1990EM I definitely obsessed about that too! TMI but we even DTD when I was still bleeding from the MC in my desperation...wouldn’t advise it! 😳

elliew818 · 26/05/2020 08:14

@2020wish hope this isn’t a MC for you, my SIL had bleeding through pregnancy and had a healthy baby so it’s possible, best to get things checked today if you can to get out of limbo.
@Nannon145 and @saim86 sorry to hear about your losses.
@SmileyT I’m CD 8 now and wondering whether to use some cheap opks that came with cheap pregnancy tests. I’ve never tried them before but kind of want the reassurance I’m definitely ovulating this month.
What’s the general consensus on OPKs? Do you ladies find it helpful or more stressful?

Dipsy77 · 26/05/2020 07:31

Fermometer has put me at DPO1 so started Calc fleur this morning. I'm CD14 got my peak yesterday so still a few days DTD for SMEP, I thought today was ovulation as my peak has turned to high this morning but will see what happens I'll just stick to the SMEP x

SmileyT · 26/05/2020 06:26

@1990EM we are all in this together 🥰

@HE88 oh I hope it's nothing serious, how are you feeling this morning? xx

CD11 for me now still with blank ⭕️ on CB where is everyone else in their cycles? xx

Thanks @SmileyT and @Saim86 you girls on here are honestly all so kind and helpful 😭

1990EM · 25/05/2020 23:58

@Nannon145 if you got a negative pregnancy test 2 weeks ago then it definitely sounds more like the positive opks are for real .. thats so good if youre ovulating so soon 🙌 I'm sure you just wish the bleeding would stop though! I started miscarrying on the 11th May and after 6 days the bleeding had stopped altogether. Strange how it is different for everyone...

Saim86 · 25/05/2020 23:57

@Nannon145 so sorry for your loss your rainbow will be here soon......our dates are so similar our angel girl was born on 20th April bleeding lasted around 2 weeks and stopped and over last few days I have noticed a bloody discharge which I put down to the uti I have developed but I have properly started today our hospital wasn’t very helpful and gave us no aftercare so I’m not sure what’s happening

Saim86 · 25/05/2020 23:51

@HE88 it absolutely keeps making the pain raw 4 of my friends 2 close family and my sister in law and a school mum friend are all due in and around my due date one of my very close friends has given birth on 18 may I got chosen as godmother

Nannon145 · 25/05/2020 22:41

@1990EM My miscarriage happened over a couple of weeks from 29th April till 12th May. On and off bleeding but for the last 3 days I bled a lot. I got a negative pregnancy test on 13th May and I have had really faint OPKs and then got the positive one. Is it possible to get light ones then suddenly a dark one then light again because of previous pregnancy hormones?

Thank you everyone for your replies and thanks for being so welcoming. It's nice to know I'm not alone!

HE88 · 25/05/2020 22:26

@Saim86 I'm with you with the pregnant family members it's not nice so I feel your pain. Xx

Saim86 · 25/05/2020 22:23

@SmileyT thank you for the kind words having pregnant women around you and in the family can make it all the more painful 🥺 hopefully our rainbows will come soon.

Saim86 · 25/05/2020 22:19

@1990EM hopefully praying for us all and our rainbows 🌈 🙏🏻

@HE88 thank you 😊

HE88 · 25/05/2020 22:13

@SmileyT I've probably not drank a lot but I'm not a big drinker really. I'm just a bit worried that these pains might be endo related. Xx

SmileyT · 25/05/2020 22:06

@2020wish really hope you get some answers tomorrow x

@Nannon145 @Saim86 sorry that you both find yourself here, be really kind to yourselves and be patient with your body. It's good that you are both ready to ttc again and I hope it won't be long before you both have your rainbows x

@HE88 how you're feeling doesn't sound like fun at all, have you been drinking loads? I had a headache this afternoon and was thinking it might be because it's hot and I hadn't drunk enough. Hope you're feeling better tomorrow x

@1990EM I think this is completely natural I was so convinced that I'd be pregnant again straight away, we weren't even trying when I fell pregnant so thought if i tracked it would be guaranteed 🙈 I think it's good to be positive but also to remember that there is a 25% chance of conceiving even if you do everything right, hope you are one of the lucky ones that gets their BFP before they have to see another period though 🌈

1990EM · 25/05/2020 21:52

I keep obsessing over the stories of those who got pregnant straight after a miscarriage and I know I should probably not set myself up for disappointment but i cant help it 🙈

HE88 · 25/05/2020 21:50

Hi @Nannon145 and @Saim86 welcome to the thread sorry that you find yourself here and for what you have went through.

@2020wish and @Wishingfornumber2 really sorry that af got you that's rotten. @2020wish I hope you get some answers from your gp and get referred for some investigations.

Hope everyone else is doing OK. I've been feeling a bit out of sorts today have had pain in my lower abdo and in my right side front and back, also had a horrible headache late afternoon/early evening which made me feel a bit sicky also felt quite dizzy. Who knows whats going on 😵.

1990EM · 25/05/2020 21:49

@Saim86 so sorry for your loss, what a lot to go through. Praying we all get good news in the next few weeks 💕 this time next year we could all be holding our rainbow babies 🌈

1990EM · 25/05/2020 21:46

@Nannon145 Hi there, so sorry for your loss. I miscarried this month as well 💔 Have you done a pregnancy test recently? Just asking as I get high readings on opks when I'm pregnant. Some of them don't differentiate between HCG and LH. The reason I found out I was pregnant with my son was because I had positive okps for over a week! Turns out I was pregnant not ovulating. So if there is any hcg in your system left over from your previous pregnancy it cpuld still be showing up on ovulation tests and giving a false positive? Hope I'm wrong though. What date was your miscarriage? Hope you're doing ok 💗

Saim86 · 25/05/2020 20:26

Hi ladies...ttc after a miscarriage at 15 weeks due to baby having heart defects and trisomy 21.....on CD2 of my first period after the miscarriage hoping our rainbow will be here soon 🙏🏻

Nannon145 · 25/05/2020 19:38

Hey everyone. Hope you don’t mind me joining.
I’m TTCing for baby number 1. I did get pregnant at the start of this month but unfortunately miscarried at 5 weeks 🙁

We decided to jump straight in and try again without waiting. Has a positive OPK yesterday on CD14 which is really early for me, can a miscarriage change your ovulation day like that?

Literally since miscarrying, it’s really made me realise how much I want this. It’s all I can think about and I pray everyday that I will get pregnant soon and baby sticks 🤞🏻 xxx
