Struggling to conceive after miscarriage

84 replies

WildflowerPetals · 06/12/2020 21:05

Hi everyone,
I had a missed miscarriage back in April - baby had stopped growing around 6 weeks but I only found out at my 12 week scan.
Me and DH have been TTC ever since but haven’t had any success yet. I’m now on my 7th cycle since the miscarriage.

I had some hormone bloods done at the doctors but they all came back normal and they won’t do any other tests until we’ve been trying for 12 months.

I just wondered if anyone else had struggled to conceive after a miscarriage? Or if anyone had any suggestions for me?

A bit of information about me...

  • I’m 27 (28 next week) & DH 29
  • TTC #1
  • 31 day cycle with 10/11 day luteal phase (although this months has been 12)
  • Usually get positive OPK around CD19
  • Myself & DH have been taking conception vitamins since the miscarriage
  • Stopped taking contraception (POP) around July 2019

Any help would be appreciated x

OP, how many months did it take you to conceive when you last got pregnant? Sorry if you have said, I checked your posts but couldnt see that.

I had a MMC in Sept (at 10+4) so three months of trying since but not feeling lucky this month. It took me 8 cycles for the pregnancy that I miscarried so I am expecting around the same again tbh. Sadly! It's all so sad and awful isnt it. Cant stop thinking about my due date in April, heartbroken Sad

@WildflowerPetals sorry to hear about your mc. I had one late July this year at 6 weeks after having two straightforward pregnancies previously. I had my period after 28 days in August and got pregnant in sept, currently 16 weeks.
What I did when I got pregnant at age 25 and 29 is the same that I did loosely at age 34. I watched for egg white cervical discharge. It works for some and not for others. My cycle is 27-29 days and I would get the egg white around day 11 which means ovulation will be happening soon for me. I have since read in a few threads that some people do not get this mucus but no harm in checking. I never used opk although tried this year and no temp monitoring. Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon, it will happen.xxx

@WildflowerPetals I normally change my pad so many times a day,but it's been once now since Monday x

Tinseltown85 · 16/12/2020 12:28

@WildflowerPetals it's still like a very light period I did a strip test yesterday it had a faint line so I'm going to wait til bleeding stops,my sisters implantation bleeding lasted a week so there's some hope at least xx

@Tinseltown85 How is your bleeding today?

@Marshy86 Thank you. I’m trying to be more relaxed this month, but like you say, easier said than done x

Hey OP, so sorry to read your story. From experience I can honestly say taking a relaxed approach seems to help so many, I know it's harder said than done but maybe take a break from counting the days and just have fun with your partner. I know so many people who got obsessed with getting pregnant then took a holiday away to unwind and would come back pregnant x

Tinseltown85 · 15/12/2020 18:59

@peacheswife once bleeding has stopped I will try one xx

Tinseltown85 · 15/12/2020 18:55

17th of this month @WildflowerPetals xx

peacheswife · 15/12/2020 18:55

@Tinseltown85 fingers crossed. If your period isn't due yet it could for sure be implantation bleeding. You can see faint lines, have you tried a digital one?

@WildflowerPetals thank you. It really is.

Tinseltown85 · 15/12/2020 18:55

Hope so @peacheswife xx

Anyone on

peacheswife · 15/12/2020 18:06

@Tinseltown85 the bleeding would be lighter than a period if you were pregnant and implantation bleeding happens before your period if you were going to have it.
(I've been told this by a nurse when I went last month)

I have everything crossed for you all.

After being two weeks late and having a negative test after being 3 days late I've had a positive test and I'm due my baby in august 3 days after the last one was due.

🙏🏻🙏🏻

Tinseltown85 · 15/12/2020 17:33

Never had implantation bleeding so I don't know

@WildflowerPetals yes I buy mine from Zita West - it’s a powder so I just have it with water. It seems to have worked for me ☺️ Hope it helps you too xxx

@Doremifasol Sorry to hear you’re struggling too. It must be so frustrating knowing everything is okay but still not being able to conceive. Hope you get your wish and conceive naturally soon x

@Cafeaulait27 Firstly, congratulations! I hope all goes well for you this time 🤞🏼 We usually DTD every other day (and sometimes every day) around ovulation and also every other day the week before. Can you get Myo Inositol over the counter? I’m worried there’s something wrong ovulation wise as even though I get positive OPK’s I don’t get any ewcm and haven’t since the MMC. I mentioned it to my doctors and they didn’t seem concerned. I’ve ordered some Evening Primrose Oil to see if that will help though x

@peacheswife Sorry for your loss. I can’t offer any advice on missed periods, sorry. Has anything else seemed strange about your periods since your MMC? That’s interesting that you’re doctor said that, I’ve not heard that before, definitely could be right though x

You are not alone...
I had MMC in Nov 19 and nothing since then. We are Both healthy, nothing is wrong ( apart from having only one tube from previous ectopic p), ovulation confirmed, semen analysis great... but we are 37 so I guess that could be the reason why it's a bit harder (TTC for #2 for 3+ years now). Going for IVF in Jan but secretly hoping it will happen for us this month to avoid whole IVF story.
