TTC after MC - Feb/March 2021 (Thread 18)

Thank you lovely @NatJ24 having this group to lean on definitely helps. And the sun shining always gives me a boost! Fingers crossed for March!

@bez91 hopefully AF turns up sooner for you than you think and atleast you can start a new cycle then.
It would be lovely for us to all get BFP's together!!! Hopefully March is lucky and we get some Christmas time babies!

Hello ladies

I've been watching as I'm also ttc. Here's my story 😂 I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me what's going on

So I did ovulation test on 27th Feb thinking I'm ovulating on 3rd march, but it came back very strong. Luckily we'd dtd (25th) before 27th so I was covered. Then again on 27th. Oh I also did ovulation test yesterday and it was low, suggesting I'd already ovulated earlier!

Since yesterday 6pm, I've had very bad lower back pain, then last night very period like cramps and bloody mucus (sorry TMI). My lower abdomen also hurt, esp right side.

I still have lower back pain now and the pinky bleeding.

Is there any chance this is implantation bleeding? I've NEVER had mid cycle bleed ever.

Any thoughts welcome because I'm going nuts thinking my period is due on 18th and how will I survive till then! This back pain is bad enough to take paracetamol for.

@Loll35 aw atleast AF arrived for you and you're on to a new cycle, stay postive! 😊
Its definitely hard after MC because you just want to be back to where you were dont you, but we will get there 🙏

@ELMcg its hard to say because you know your own body best but I think after MC periods can be a bit strange and different to the norm for a few months so I wouldnt worry too much, unless it carried on for longer or was very heavy and painful. I know what you mean though about it stopping completely for them few days but I wouldnt worry too much I don't think. I've read of people having a few strange ones after MC.
Yes well last month I used the cheapie opks along side the CB one, which was probably a bit OTT, but I had them anyway and because it was my first month tracking since the MC I just thought I will use the 2 and see. They both gave me a peak pretty much the same time but I liked having that back up so I thought I would just do it again this month. The opks are quite cheap and you get quite a few so I dont feel too bad if I use them a bit more often then aswell 😊 plus I put them on to premom and they give a little graph then which I like to see haha!

@gizmo167 don't give up hope it could still happen!

Just popping in, CD16 today for me, have no idea if I've ov'd this month but BFN on test a couple of days ago so MC definitely all over! Have decided to give it a few more months to see what happens, if I dont get a BFP by the summer then we'll just call it a day!

Hi ladies, just an update from me. CD4 here. After two BFN last week af arrived bang on schedule on Friday. Back to it, this is my third cycle since mc. Trying to stay positive with it all!

@bez91 sorry you got a bfn this morning but I'd contact your gp once again arrives, it's a year from trying and they may start tests anyway as you've had 2mc

@bez91 here's hoping 🤞

@NatJ24 are you using the cheap OPKs now?

So weirdly my period stopped on CD4 very abruptly, I usually have a day or so of old blood and light spotting at the end but didn't get that. I'm now on CD7 and went to the loo this morning and had a heavy bleed. Was bright red with a, bit of clotting. Should I be worried? It's very abnormal for me and don't think it's possible for a period to stop completely and start again?

Aw @bez91 I am gutted for you! BFN are awful and especially after you held out until 14dpo too ☹ I think you should definitely as your GP when it gets to the 12 month mark anyway, its worth a go your GP might refer you at that stage. Hope you are ok 🌟

@ELMcg CD7 here too! I think this months going to be a slow one! I ovulate later it seems too so still a while to go! I've got some cheapy opks I will start this week but will leave the CB digital until the end of the week too I think!

@bez91 awww I'm gutted for you! I was hoping for a BFP for you this month! 🤞 For next month. I'm not sure when you should get in touch with your gp everywhere seems to be different!

CD7 for me today, going to start OPKs at CD11 this month. I started too early and ran out last month and now going by my cycle I won't ovulate until around CD17. Hoping this month is the month. I've only technically tried one month already and I'm exhausted! Huge respect for those of you going through this each month!

Hi @re6ecca sorry to hear of your losses, Are they doing tests or anything with you to find out why? Hope you get some answers soon

Thanks @bez91🤗
@re6ecca so sorry to hear, 3 losses must have been so devastating for you.

Hi ladies... dont think anyone i remember is still on this thread (which i assume means they all got their BFPs 🎊)
I'm Rebecca I've been on and off here since Feb 2020, I have had 3 miscarriages since then and am currently 8 days late on my AF, I had a faint bfp yesterday but a stark white bfn today with FMU...
So unless I start bleeding in the next day I'm off to the doctors to find out just what fun things are wrong this time!
Hope you're all doing ok ❤

Aw thanks @Florence15! I'm still in a bit of a daze 😅

Probably the only person to test today and to be happy with a BFN. Was told to wait for a negative after a mc so now We can get back to ttc🤗 mc the 11th feb so not too long a wait for hcg to drop.

@vitaminb33 congratulations. That’s great news. Really pleased for you 😊

@bez91 ahh I see! Yes it could be that but that would be a lovely environment for a little sticky bean and you never know! I've seen some people say implantation bleed can be quite like an af for some I think it Varys a lot. I've only ever had mid cycle bleeding once and that was an ib on my first mc 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤞🏻 for you

@minthumbugs I'm a bit unsure how to calculate it! If it was from the first day of my last period it would be 5 weeks, but I have long cycles and I suspect I ovulated late so I'm thinking it's more like 4 weeks? I've ordered one of those clearblue weeks test that I'll try on Sunday

@bez91 at least we know we are doing everything we possibly can! Why would the Pom juice make you spot 🤔 couldn't that be an implantation bleed?

@vitaminb33 wow great news! How many weeks do you think you are?

I've been spotting this week and I'm only on CD12 with long cycles! Very strange but I'm trying not to stress or obsessively Google - easier said than done lol. This is only my first cycle after a late loss so suppose the unexpected is to be expected. What a journey this is! X
