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.

@Bellabubble ahh really hope you still have a positive month 🤞 don't give up hope until AF fully arrives x

@SmileyT I think I’ll know by tomorrow if it’s ib - last cycle I had 4 days of spotting, but it had got heavier by now. The only thing I keep thinking though is that mc seems to much things up a bit for a while so I sort of feel like it’s AF - I have been super lightheaded today though - they joked about whether I had been drinking at work today as I couldn’t seem to walk straight. I had that last pregnancy, but it can happen before periods too I think?

@HE88 I was the same, didn’t really try first cycle after mc - my bbt was super high, then when I had my final scan 2 weeks after mc bleeding had stopped, they said I had a really thin uterus lining, so I think even if I had tried, the little bean would have been unable to settle itself in for the ride so to speak!

@Renna I've used my menstrual cup definitely not as high as the conception one I imagine but tbh it was great (although DP snuggled afterwards so I left it about 10mins next time I'll get it straight in) I've just poured a G&T 🥂

@SmileyT thanks hun xx aw wow well done you guys haha . Do you use the cup ? If so how upi find it ? X Yup I'm having wine tonight 😁 xx

SmileyT · 22/05/2020 18:11

@Renna it's totally okay to feel shit, it's a hard process and as happy as we can all be for other people it's normal to wonder 'why not me' you will be okay and you know it will happen, indulge in something that you enjoy if that's wine, a takeaway etc have a cry buy stuff for this coming month - maybe try some meditation (you know I love that) and just focus on how great it will be when you get that BFP. SMEP day one ✅ only had 1hr between me getting home from work and DP leaving but got it done 😂

@1990EM ahh I'm glad that you are finding some comfort here, these groups have been a godsend to me since my MC in March 🥰

@SmileyT yup already ordered the cup :) and going to start temping again tomorrow. AF seems heavier this time more like it was before being pg, last 2 AFs since MC have seemed a lot lighter . So trying to take that as a positive 🤞 but overall feels like it's been a rubbish day for me 😓 xx hope you've had a good day and gonna start enjoying your SMEP plan xx

HE88 · 22/05/2020 16:34

@Bellabubble ah I see it could just be your body readjusting to everything again, our bodies are confusing things I think.
I think you do count the 1st day of bleeding of a MC as cycle day 1 but I'm not 100% sure.
I didn't bother ttc that cycle so this will be my 3rd cycle of properly trying. Xx

@1990EM thanks I was really pissed off about it the last 2 days but I'm starting to feel a bit better about it now. Xx

1990EM · 22/05/2020 16:26

@SmileyT thank you, I actually feel better and more positive just by joining this thread ☺

1990EM · 22/05/2020 16:23

@HE88 sorry about AF arriving.. Hope June is your month 🤞 I'm looking forward to seeing how many in this group will have a beautiful positive test in a few weeks time!
Oh and I am away to add pink grapefruit juice to my shopping list 😁

Bellabubble · 22/05/2020 16:22

@he88 sorry - I meant to say I hadn’t had spotting before AF pre-mc..I’m in cycle 3 now (does when your mc start count as cycle 1?) but last AF started with 4 days of spotting - I’m on 3rd day now. It is a super tiny amount, but I just feel in my bones like it’s going to become AF :( xx

SmileyT · 22/05/2020 16:16

Hi Ladies, so sorry for AF arriving today @Renna but at least you can get on with a fresh new cycle... will you order the ferti-lily cup? And yes to a new doggy to distract you ❤️

@Sallyjo27 @Ejb86 are you both planning to test in May, definitely not out yet if AF is due over the next week 🤞

@Furbsies @1990EM so sorry for your losses hopefully won't be long until you have your rainbows. I've just finished 2nd AF since MC first cycle was 31 days and 2nd 27 days not that far off my 28 day cycle but no idea if that will continue x

@Bellabubble is there no chance it's an IB? Or have you ruled that out? I spotted first month and it was crappy just makes you feel like you're out before you really are 😕

OP posts:
1990EM · 22/05/2020 16:13

@Ejb86 no need to apologise at all. I can't imagine what you have been through with a late stage loss of twins . I'm so sorry. I have a feeling as I am normally so irregular with my cycles that it will take me a long time to regulate again too.. but we will get there 💗

HE88 · 22/05/2020 16:06

@Bellabubble ah I see could be ib I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that af stays away. Xx

Bellabubble · 22/05/2020 15:37

@HE88 AF is due from today until Sunday across my 2 apps (I go between 27 and 29 day cycles) and am currently 12dpo. I have never had spotting before - it really is annoying! I was always straight in to full AF, it definitely makes it feel shorter!! xx

HE88 · 22/05/2020 14:13

Hi @Bellabubble when is af due? I also get spotting before af and always have done its a bit annoying tbh. Xx

Ejb86 · 22/05/2020 13:48

@1990EM I must apologise. I responded to you without thinking when I was being distracted by my little boy. I'm so sorry for what you have been through.

Bellabubble · 22/05/2020 13:25

Hi! Here from the May thread as I’m spotting (again - this seems to be how my first AF started after mc, so I’m not feeling positive about this one!)

I just turned 36, ttc journey started in Jan this year. We were really lucky to conceive first time, but sadly had a mmc - was 9 weeks by dates but hadn’t progressed further than 5 :( this will be 4th cycle post mc

HE88 · 22/05/2020 13:06

@1990EM welcome and sorry to hear what you have went through I was also 10 weeks when I had my mmc.
My 1st period came 5 weeks later, then I had a 28 day cycle then just there a 30 day cycle so I wouldn't say I've settled into a regular cycle but I was never regular before I fell pregnant. Sorry that's probably not much help.
Sending lots of luck and love to you. Xx

Ejb86 · 22/05/2020 13:06

@1990EM I lost my twins at 16 weeks in September. I'm still waiting for my cycles to normalise. Our bodies are all so different, we all react differently.

1990EM · 22/05/2020 12:22

Hi ladies I have been following the May thread as I went through a miscarriage 2 weeks ago and I wanted to hear from those in the same boat. This is the first time I've commented though and though I don't have much hope for June I need all the support i can get 🙈 I am 29, ttc baby number 3 and my loss this month was my first miscarriage. I was nearly 10weeks. Was always something I dreaded and still can't believe it happened though I do feel grateful for 2 previous healthy pregnancies. I have PCOS and irregular cycles so it makes family planning all a bit more difficult.. hoping to use ovulation tests etc to know when I can start to hope for another pregnancy.

How long after miscarriage did it take your cycles to normalize?

Sorry in advance for the fact that I still have a lot to learn about all of the TTC acronyms! I might sound stupid sometimes!

Lots of love to you all for all you have been through.

HE88 · 22/05/2020 11:44

@Renna sorry af got you it's such a crap situation but a cry seems to help. Xx
@Furbsies welcome and sorry to hear what you are going through. Xx

Renna · 22/05/2020 11:16

Hi @Furbsies sorry to hear what you're currently going through xxx welcome to the thread xx sending lots of luck to you xx

Furbsies · 22/05/2020 10:52

Hi every one. I'm 27 and will be TTC my rainbow hopefully in June. I am current having a MC after being at around 11 weeks. Hoping this is over soon and I can join this. Coming here from the May bus.

Sallyjo27 · 22/05/2020 10:21

@Renna oh my gosh! She is absolutely adorable! I’m sure she will keep you busy 😍
That’s fab that your DH is so supportive, I’ve been looking at the fertility cups so might give that a go too. I’ve heard really good things about them. I’m so impatient so that really doesn’t help, I’ve been watching lots of videos on YouTube regarding hormone balance & boosting fertility naturally so I’ve ordered a shit load of vitamins 😂 xx

Renna · 22/05/2020 09:39

We are getting a Pomsky .. called her Shelby :) xx
