TTC after MC - September 2020 (Thread 13)

Morning @MRJ86 and welcome! I'm sorry for your loss and that it happened right after your wedding. You seem to have good support in place but one thing I would say, as I'm just discovering it myself, is that there's a real up and down of emotions and not to be thrown off if you suddenly feel terrible weeks down the line. I had my mc in mid-August and felt like I bounced back quite quickly. I think I secretly believed that if we had sex during ovulation in September then I'd fall pregnant again straight away. That didn't happen and that was a second sort of grief. Then baby announcements, seeing pregnant women in the shops, all of that felt much worse than before I got pregnant and we were just 'open' to a baby coming along.

Sorry, didn't mean to make this all about me, but I see you ladies who have just had your MCs and my heart goes out to you, and I'd like to spare you a bit of the shock if I can. Wishing you an amazing cycle and fingers crossed for beans all round! X

@KatiePlus3 @Bellabubble congratulations both of you!!!! So so pleased :D xxx

Hi Everyone,
Can i please join this group? I had a MC on 18th Sept - I was about 7 weeks (such a weird time as we got married on 5th Sept and felt like it was amazing we had this little bean with us!). Anyway, I was lucky it was a complete miscarriage and required no further intervention. Bleeding stopped after a week and then accordingly to CB OK we had a go last weekend :) Never used them before and I have the one where you only get a static smiley showing two most fertile days - so fingers crossed!

Don't expect to catch straight away but you never know. I've been reading all your stories these last few days and just wanted to say how comforting and supportive I've found it. I hope everyone is well and fingers crossed to us all on this crazy TTC journey. x

ahh so much good news on here this morning! @Bellabubble that's amazing!!!!! how many dpo are you now??

i've had some super-light brown spotting yesterday and today (just when i wipe) and i really want to know if it's implantation bleeding or not.. i'm getting so desperate to test - but my husband and i agreed we'd do it together and that we wouldn't do it until tuesday when i'm due, which feels so far away this morning!!

wooo and yes one more day til the weekend! cannot wait!!

@Bellabubble ahhh what beautiful news in the morning!!! Yay! How many DPO are you today? Very excited for you xxx

@Bellabubble yes I feel like I missed something! 😄 Love how you casually threw it out there, oh yeah I got a positive! ❤️

@Bellabubble are you telling us you got your BFP?????????????? Ahrrrr this is amazing!!!! What was the debacle with the dodgy test lovely, I think I missed this sorry? Xxxx

@RichmondLady1981 the bloods are a week after ovulation if I remember correctly - just do a quick research online and double check but I’m pretty sure it’s a week lovely Xxxx

@RichmondLady1981 - I have a slow rise temp (I’m also constantly cold!!) - I had a real slow rise this mknth, a huge dip 4dpo and a dip at 11 (that one was on the coverline!)

After my debacle of a faulty test yesterday, I used the freebie one step strip test this morn - and got a positive!

After my dodgy test yesterday, I think I’m going to a supermarket after school to buy a test from there just to double check lol!!

@RichmondLady1981 so glad you’re feeling better this morning and had a good night sleep. Not sure about blood tests but I wouldn’t worry about temps creeping up slowly. Mine are quite erratic first couple of days. I think for pregnancy it’s important they stay up way past possible implantation. Fingers crossed! I’m 10dpo today and feel bloated lol but I think that’s because of all the crap I ate in the office yesterday 😂😂😂 xxx temp was up again today btw

@HappyVibes and @susiebluebell thank you! It was a relief to hear your responses. I went back home, had dinner, quick shower and was in bed fast asleep by 830pm! Was shattered! Feel so much better today. Natural cycles and PreMom have no calculated my ovulation as Monday which means I’m covered. My temp is rising but really slowly. Anyone else had a very slow temp rise after ovulation? I read that it can mean lack of progesterone? How many days after ovulation should you have a blood test if you want to check progesterone levels? I ovulated on CD18. X

@KatiePlus3 I’m so so happy for you. We all have that dreaded Angel baby due date in the back of our minds, it must be so comforting to be in this position now. Willing for you to have a healthy pregnancy. 🙏🏼

One more get-up folks before the weekend!! Bring it on!

@KatiePlus3 - congratulations!! Such happy news :)

Thankyou! :) @MinnieMouse4 And I also feel a little bit crampy guys, not as bad as AF cramps but slight twinges, more noticable now I am in bed laying still x

@KatiePlus3 congratulations!! That’s fantastic news! Xx

@KatiePlus3 omg congrats!!! Really pleased for you! Fingers crossed it’s a sticky bean! Xxx

Thank you so much everyone! This month I've not thought about TTC at all! I've known my fertile window and just DTD every night in the FW I've been busy re decorating the house and completely taken my mind off it :) I stopped panicking over my vitamins, I drank a couple cups of coffee and it's happened! I have no symptoms as of yet other than no CM what so ever, completely dry. I was dreading the 13th October as thats when Angel baby would have been due, but this has just cheered me up so much. I'm praying this is a sticky bubba! Does anyone know if I would be entitled to an early scan with NHS as I've had 2 miscarriages back to back now? Xx

@RichmondLady1981 Yeah I agree with @HappyVibes you're probably fine, yesterday would have been more important to dtd.

@KatiePlus3 wonderful, congrats! Looking forward to hearing how it progresses xx

@KatiePlus3 congratulations

@Furbsies at least they are starting the ball rolling to see if there is anything wrong which is good x

Great news @KatiePlus3, keeping everything crossed for you that it goes well x

Ah that’s amazing @KatiePlus3 woohoo. This is exciting so early on too!!! Congratulations lovely lady. Please may you share your TTC with us? Xxx

@RichmondLady1981 I would say you’re covered as your peak on cheapie and you static from CB would both suggest ovulation approx Mon/Tues. i do think one more this evening would perhaps be in the FW still if you did want to, but IMO you’re either at the very very end of your FW, if not already finished. So i wouldn’t put too much pressure on yourselves lovely if you don’t feel up to it. You sound like you have all bases covered already.

Xxx

@RichmondLady1981 no other symptoms..just what I get jormally before af these days (also annoyingly what I experienced when i was pg..so it’s hard to distinguish lol!) currently cd29..apart from the cycle after the miscarriage which was 31 days, 29 has been my longest! So tomorrow is D-Day..or p-day lol! I did to a clear blue test I got off of amazon (they arrived earlier than expected!) but nothing happened - the control line was blank! So I took that as a sign to leave it a few more days lol!

Please would anyone mind looking at my charts.

Predicted ovulation yesterday
peak LH on cheapie was Monday
static Smile on CB Sunday

My question is, should I dtd tonight? not sure I can face it! 😭 Or am I done?

@KatiePlus3 this is amazing news!!!! Everything crossed!! Whoop whoop!

omg @KatiePlus3 congratulations!!! so exciting!! so pleased for you!!! work is crazy this week for me so i'm actually managing to get through the tww without going too crazy, i'm gonna hold off until early next week to test
