TTC after MC - November 2020 (Thread 15)

@RichmondLady1981 don’t count yourself out yet. I didn’t get a squinter until 14dpo. Fingers crossed

@Mumsdaily fingers crossed for some progression x

@RichmondLady1981 hope you’re treating yourself kindly lovely, it’s a tough time 💫

I’ve just had my appt with gynae and my results came back all fine in terms of getting pregnant...in terms of staying pregnant, they’re going to prescribe progesterone, 5mg folic acid & 150mg aspirin. I am currently one very happy lady 💓💫

@PumpkinEverything @TheDaydreamBelievers I've found this annoying too with no reference to MC - I'm using Ovia

@TheDaydreamBelievers seems so hard to tell. Sometimes I think mine has stopped and then I move too much and it’s there again, or only when wiping.
Which apps are you using? I’ve found the lack of MC function annoying too. Although my Premom app has updated since when I was using it before for TTC and in the bleeding section has an option for miscarriage bleeding, which is good in a weird way. My other apps (Ovia and Flo) don’t seem to let me mark this down though

@susiebluebell it’s not a nice feeling. Thanks for your sweet messages. Going home now to hug my son and have a gin and tonic! I know it’s Monday but hey.

Where are you at with everything? X

@bez91 @PumpkinEverything good to see you both here. I'm in same position waiting for a negative test (taking another tomorrow). Bleeding seems to have stopped today (2 weeks post surgery) but who knows if itll stay stopped. My apps both took the day after surgery as CD1 as I logged bleeding. To be honest I suspect the first cycle will be junk data for the apps! They dont seem to have a post MMC settinf!

@bez91 it’s so ridiculous that we’re praying for a negative test instead of a positive for once 😂 and I’ll still be looking to know for sure if it’s not a strong line and a bit of a squinter

@Hopefulmummie thanks for clarifying I suspected this but good to hear re CD1 post MC
@PumpkinEverything I tested last week 7 days post procedure, will do again tomorrow (13 days) I'm not holding out much hope as last weeks was so strong but fingers crossed for us both 🤞🏼

@mumsdaily yeah cd1 as day of miscarriage. Not sure if that's right but I've seen a few websites say that's what it should be. So my period would be due in 2 weeks. Feels like I've only stopped bleeding yesterday and going to have my period in no time

Good to see you @bez91 😊 I’ve been struggling to figure that out so we’ll go with last Tuesday as CD1 then. I really don’t feel pregnant whatsoever so I’m so hoping my test is negative tomorrow 😩 how often are you checking?

@RichmondLady1981 I'm so sorry about af, my heart goes out to you. I know that feeling so well xx

@Hopefulmummie It's rubbish to say but all you can do is keep waiting and see what happens with the tests xxx

Hey @PumpkinEverything good to see you here 👋 I was counting surgery as day 1 of my cycle, whether that's right or wrong who knows but I'm going with it. So being 13 days post surgical management I'm counting this as CD13. I've felt loads of twinges today so I might be ovulating but I haven't had a negative test yet 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes that's right I believe @Mumsdaily with a miscarriage, the first day of full-flow bleeding or the day of surgery is cd1. Welcome btw! X

@Hopefulmummie so day 1 of your cycle is the first day of MC? I've been trying to work out when my period is due. I guessed I'd just work out my leutal phase?

I'm going to test again tomorrow too. I've never had an evap or anything with an FRER. So keen to see if I've caught early signs of HCG or not!

@PumpkinEverything I know I felt guilty too but didn't want to chance anything even though it's completely safe

Sorry I should've said I didn't have surgery just miscarried naturally so the day of miscarriage I counted as day 1.
Do you normally have regular cycles?
I wish I would just ovulate as normal this week so I know things are back on track

Thanks for sharing @Hopefulmummie I felt so bad, but I was so worried something would happen if we DTD, I think I always had a weird feeling something was going to go wrong so didn’t want to do anything that I felt would be the reason, even though I know that’s not one of them 🤦‍♀️

Did you count the day of your surgery as day one of your cycle?

@PumpkinEverything hi I'm sorry for you loss. Your experience sounds similar to mine. I stopped bleeding a few days ago and me and my husband dtd for the 1st time since before I was pregnant too.. around 2 and half months aswell lol

I'm still getting the slightest faint line on pregnancy test. I'm around 12 dpo based on bleeding on day 1 and I normally ovulate around day 14 so not sure if I will if still getting faint line. I'm going to take a clear blue digital tomorrow and see what that says.
I got positive lines on ovulation tests yesterday but that could be due to pregnancy hormones. It's all so confusing

I got my surge just over 2 weeks after my surgical managment. Now in the dreaded tww but who knows how long it will be until my periods shows up xx

@PumpkinEverything

Firstly I kept doing pg tests, you won't ov until you get a neg (I'm pretty sure that's the case anyway!) then I actually felt twinges on my ovaries. So started the OPK's. Got a surge about three weeks after my MC.

@Mumsdaily it doesn't really matter if you conceive straight away, doctors won't really care longterm, it's just a dating issue for them but sure you'd know a rough window based on MC and a scan would confirm within weeks anyway.

I tried ovulation and pg tests again, faint lines on both again. Clear as mud so 😂

I really didn’t think I’d find it such an issue @vitaminb33 but it’s actually so annoying! Even though it’s barely anything, it’s still there. I think because I was constantly checking everytime I used the bathroom whilst pregnant to see if there was anything, it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve used the bathroom without inspecting 🤦‍♀️

@Mumsdaily can I ask when you started tracking from? I did OPKS beforehand previously but haven’t been sure when to start them again.

Hi @PumpkinEverything! Welcome and I'm so sorry for your loss. I also found the bleeding really difficult, and now I'm 3 weeks out from surgery and the bleeding has finally stopped (I think I bled for longer than usual though) I I feel like my mental state has really improved too.

Really sorry for your bfn @RichmondLady1981, and best of luck for next time. I definitely agree about symptom tracking being helpful for alleviating symptom spotting, it took me over a year to conceive my first pregnancy and it turned out I had strange symptoms and nausea every month (just conveniently forgot each time). Although I will say both times I've been actually pregnant it's been clear before I took the test, because I started getting terrible travel sickness.

Hi, I was directed to this page by someone 😊

I had an MC in Nov and hubby and I decided to start trying straight away.

I haven't had a period since my MC, but tracked ovulation.

I'm about 8/9dpo right now (I think, my peak was 5th so based on ovulation 24/36 hours later)

I was sick at the weekend and I've had quite a bit of period pain. I was convinced I would get AF yesterday or even today.

I did an FRER yesterday and stark white BFN.

I did one today and I can see a tiny faint line. Someone mentioned indent line to me (I didn't know this was possible
With FRER ☹️) but hopeful it could be the start of something.

I'll test again tomorrow and see if there's any change.

If I am PG it means that I wouldn't have had a period since my last pregnancy. Doc prob won't be so pleased!

Hi ladies. And 13dpo, period a day late and just did a test.. huge BFN. Actually could cry.

So grateful to have my son. Will keep trying though.

Best of luck to all the ladies who are testing soon!

Ladies who are recovering from Mc, hope you’re have a speedy recovery and that you get back into your cycles soon x

Thank you @susiebluebell pumpkins are my favourite 😊 I was a bit sad putting them away to swap over to Christmas decor.

Quick question for everyone, do I count the day of surgery as CD1? I had irregular cycles before so feel like I want to at least be able to track what’s happening with my body, even if we don’t get pregnant.
