TTC after MC - July 2020 (Thread 7)

@Jodiem1990 if you track temperature, it confirms ovulation occurred as you have a temperature shift after ovulation. Temps post ovu are higher than before.
Sometimes, you can get a sharp temperature dip a few days post ovu which can be a sign of implantation (called implantation dip).
@VP91x has her temperature shift but it has dipped - could just be fluctuations, could be implantation. Obviously alongside the spotting we are hoping it's a snuggling embryo 🤞🏼

@micht4 what does temperature dip mean?? Does temperature mean something?? I'm confused xxx

@vp91 I hope I didn't sound negative about comparing it to my MC it could quite well be implantation bleeding if u are pregnant...I got implantation bleeding the first time after 10days ...stay positive hun xxx

@vp91 I am confused as I can't find your older messages?? Are u pregnant again and this has happened?? I had this blood wiping with the 1st vaginal miscarriage on the 22nd June...it was exactly the same as this every time I wiped then I passed the baby about an hour later? Sorry if I sound like I'm putting a big dampner on things I just can't find your older messages to read your story hun xxx

@Will867 sorry for your loss and welcome to the group. I found my pre AF symptoms changed after MC and became more like PG symptoms, which is normal for some, but I'd never had them before (like sore boobs). It seemed so cruel that after losing a pregnancy, my body would trick me each month. Now I try and read nothing as a symptom of anything. It's so hard to know how to feel after MC, but you're in great company here and I hope you find it a supportive place to be

@Rainbowhope11 so sorry to hear about your skin - must have been a pretty quick reaction to have stopped already. I hope they find an alternative for you. When are you due to see the doctor?

@VP91x I am baffled. Unless this now is implantation and you disregard to previous temp dip? How typical to get a UTI at this time, just to confuse things. Do you have a picture of your chart? I'm sure it's still fine - think about @SmileyT's advice and her last chart 🤞🏼. How are you feeling? xx

@tink20054 WOW that is so amazing congratulations hun ...I wish you lots of health in this pregnancy that is such lovely news.. sounds like we both got pregnant straight away then xxx

@vp91 please ring up today and just get checked xxx

Thanks @fafi it's this bloody app I can't even save messages lol

I am so sorry to here about everyone's losses...Please don't lose hope tho.

Finding out I was pregnant again yesterday was a complete shock and I don't even feel happy because I feel like something is going to go wrong again anyways...It's just the most surreal feeling because I have pain in my left side ( like I did when I had the etopic) but there is no tube there so how is this even possible??

Xxx

Also @VP91x I'm keeping my fingers crossed that maybe your bleeding was implantation bleeding!

@VP91x hope you're feeling okay and you get to the bottom of the weird bleeding! Xx

Ladies, I took the Provera this morning so that I can start the process of inducing a period. Unfortunately I had a bad skin reaction to it and I can't continue with it 😫 I'm now at my wits end. I've made an appointment with a fertility clinic to get an understanding of my irregular cycles post MC as I just don't feel like my current Obgyn is invested in helping me regulate my cycles.

Has anyone had any success with the Ava bracelet or anything else? I'm getting desperate now 😫

@Will867 hello and welcome. Sorry to hear about your loss 😔 I haven’t had my first period post mc yet but I can imagine it will cause PTSD type feelings and remind of mc with pain, blood flow and I think having to wear pads when I’m used to tampons too as I don’t normally feel it all ‘coming out’. I think with any ttc cycle it’s a lottery and I’m sure I read even if everything is perfectly timed there’s something like a 25% chance of successful conception. I don’t know why Mother Nature made it so hard for us. Seems cruel we only get 12 chances in a whole year and that’s only if you have regular cycles 😩 Makes time drag doesn’t it? And like the other ladies have said in previous posts it can make you wish time away. Sounds like you are doing the right things though. We are now attempting the every other day method rather than just timing for ovulation to keep sperm healthy and regular, if I get a peak on opk will do every day till peaks gone. I’ve transformed my diet too try and boost things along which is giving me a new focus so maybe you could try that if it’s something that you feel could help- you might be super healthy already- I just know I was junk food beige warm up in the oven and barely any veg diet. I’ve cut out caffeine and extra sugar. Swapped white bread rice and spaghetti to brown. Making smoothies and getting my 5 a day.

Guys question to all-I checked co op yesterday for pomegranate juice and they didn’t sell it. Where are you guys buying yours from? X

@NadJade congratulations!! So pleased for you ✨

@Will867 sorry for your loss hun, you're in good company here

@Jodiem1990 the @names don't come up for me either. I tend to write my messages in my notes as I read through the thread and then post it when I've caught up! Then I can copy the names as I see them and keep track work my replies. I hope that helps! You can also 'flip' the chats to see the most recent post first but bookmarks work well too. So sorry to hear about your losses, sounds like a scary time! Glad you've caught again so soon tho! Hoping for a healthy pregnancy for you x

@Northernsoul90 yeh been using cheapy opks from Amazon and kind of tracking cm like I started doing month before miscarriage. This time got a peak Lh on the 7th of July which was cd 15, this cycle seems to have been shorter than usual though my cycle after mc 33 days this time was only a 27 day cycle, period only came 11-12 dpo. Don’t know if it’s because my cycles are slightly messed up since mc. I hadn’t really tracked much before miscarriage Only tracked a month before we started trying, though I did think my cycles were usually about 30 days.

@VP91x yes I would and just explain you have had symptoms of a UTI, hopefully they will just get you to do a urine sample xx

@VP91x ahh right hmm could possibly be implantation related then hopefully? 🙏🏼 other than that I'm not sure... how strange that the symptoms have subsided a bit. That's good though hopefully they will be gone by morning!

@Will867 Definitely a safe space here. I'm sure you will find lots of support and encouragement 😊 fingers crossed for next cycle 🤞🏼are you tracking ovulation at all? xx

Sorry should say gp

@VP91x just googled and came up with this so could well be linked to uti, I would contact your go tomorrow.

Thank you all for being so welcoming and although hate the circumstances am grateful there is a safe place to share my feelings. Thank you @Northernsoul90 for directing me here I really appreciate it x

Welcome @Will867 so sorry for your loss, I messaged you earlier I think on your other post I'm glad you posted over here 😊 xxx

@VP91x Could it be UTI related do you think? I have had cystitis in the past where I have passed blood in my wee? Just a thought if you have a slight urine infection or irritation down there? Xx
