TTC after MC - November 2020 (Thread 15)

@HappyVibes I think that's probably very likely. We were due to get married last Friday but chose to delay due to not wanting to cut our numbers down - hence TTC. We were very unlucky that our MC fell just before we due to get married. It's not been a good week xx

@Hanbanxx it took me just over 2 weeks to ovulate after surgical removal x

Ooh yay @RichmondLady1981 we are often TWW buddies. I’m 11DPO today...AF prediction is bit messed up because of CP last cycle so due somewhere between Weds-Sat. How many DPO are you today lovely? Xxx

Hi @HappyVibes - lovely to see your name. You too @chloedancer897.

I’m in my Tww and plan to test Saturday or Sunday this week. Due AF on Sunday. Where are you at?

Welcome to all the new ladies. Sorry for your losses. X

@J785948 that’s totally what I do with OPKs. The best balance. You can also temp BBT to see your temp rise to finally confirm that ovulation has happened 👍

@chloedancer897Me too, I keep on checking in here to see any testers but we seem to have lots of comments but not many testers at the moment eek. I get a joy our watching other people’s testing eeek.

@Hanbanxx interesting. I wonder if it’s perhaps more people TTC due to lockdown...as I know that some people for example where planning on getting married this year and TTC after wedding...but then because of weddings being cancelled they’ve started TTC earlier. And perhaps other situations like that for other circumstances?

Xxx

@HappyVibes not back really. Just lingering to make sure everyone gets their BFPs! X

Thought I would introduce myself properly. I had an ectopic pregnancy in June and fell pregnant again in October after 2 months of trying but unfortunately ended in miscarriage last week at 8 weeks pregnant.

I'm glad there is a thread for people in a similar situation to mine and I wish everyone well for their TTC journey x

@Hanbanxx that's interesting as my husband had covid just before I conceived. I had suspectrd covid but never tested positive and I had been wondering was that anything to do with my MC

@elsimo I have no idea! I thought it was a strange and unprofessional comment to make without any evidence to back this up! She was very casual when saying it and asked the opinion of another nurse in the room who confirmed that she had also seen a rise since the outbreak. It didn't make me feel any better! X

Oh what are they thinking that COVID may cause mc?! Xx

@bez91 thank you so much, I will continue to test mine!

@HappyVibes the nurse who examined me during my MC said that they are seeing a lot more MCs lately and wondered if this was related to COVID. She said that there is research being undertaken about this at the moment x

@TheDaydreamBelievers hello from the other thread 👋 all I was told re sex was when bleeding stops. I wanted to this weekend as I thought my bleeding had stopped but it came back yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Hanbanxx I had my first MC in September and ovulated exactly 3 weeks after the start of the miscarriage. I wasn't expected for it to be so quick although It ended in another MC so I suppose I suppose even a couple weeks like @elsimo suspects is possible!

@SS123456 thanks so much for your reply. How long did your bleeding last? Mine was very heavy and painful during the actual MC but only lasted three days after that x

Welcome to all the new ladies...so many lately. Which is very sad to see, but looks as though you’re all already making the most of such a fab support network.

Have we any testers soon? Anyone in their TWW?

This is the exciting bit of our very difficult journeys xxxx

@chloedancer897 hun you’re back commenting. Yay. How are you doing my lovely? I’ve been thinking about you. 💓xx

@Hopefulmummie unfortunately next ovulation can be super hard to predict.

The medics for me told me best to wait until after a period, simply because otherwise its v hard to tell if a positive test means theres stuff retained from previous pregnancy (which may require medical help) or if this is a new pregnancy. Another option would be to make sure you have a run of negative pregnancy tests before trying agaib

Hi everyone. Wondering can I join. I had a miscarriage last week at 8 weeks. All happened naturally and I am still bleeding. Wondering can you TTC again before your next AF and when would I ovulated?

@Mustkeepgoing2 I've had one. It was uncomfortable but not painful. It wasn't sore once it was over. Good luck x

@Mustkeepgoing2 I will be having one in a few weeks and feeling worried about it too!

Has anyone had a HyCoSy? I have one next week. Did you take pain relief if so. Feeling a bit nervous about it but hoping my tubes are clear and it will give them a good flush!

@TheDaydreamBelievers yep I completely agree, everyone deals with it in different ways. Our sex life has still been affected by all of this though, whilst my DH is ok with the pressure, I know he doesn't really enjoy it! We just have to keep telling ourselves it is just because of what we are going through and will only be temporary.

I haven't had surgery for either MC (one natural and one with medical intervention) but was told we could dtd after bleeding had stopped. We held off a cycle to ttc again after first miscarriage but have cracked on straight away this time.

@elsimo - so far they have been better for me than the CB. Although I find my surge suddenly increases rather than a gradual increase. Let me know how you get on!

@Hanbanxx I agree, it takes up a large part of my day worrying and stressing about it. I think everyone is in the same boat. I feel ok about evryrhing atm, but I think I will start to struggle again come the endish of December as it is when our first pregnancy would have been due :(

@Hanbanxx I honestly have no idea. I MC'd at the beginning of April, and only started OPKs this month.
