Recent MC - New cycles & trying again

@dippyegg32 no worries at all! I do know it's ridiculously early to be testing haha 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm just addicted to it! Looking forward to doing my FRER in the morning although 9dpo is still early to see anything!

Place marking !

@LauraT94 I can't see anything lovely but I'm a bit shit at line eyes tbh. Try with a frer in the morning!

Hi ladies!! Haven’t had a chance to read all the posts but will get to it this evening 😚 thanks for setting up the new thread - completely get that it doesn’t feel right chatting about TTC and getting those BFPs (fingers toes and everything else crossed!!) in front of women just going through the thick of it. Will post later when I’ve caught up xx

@Mellous thanks for setting up the thread! I hadn't seen about Zoe Sugg but I just had a feeling she was going to announce soon!!

@dippyegg32 you made me laugh with the 'to think this is some people's normal sex life' 😂 OH and I are usually once or twice a month!! Managed 3 days leading up to O 😂

We tried the first month after MC but my temps were all over the place and never dropped properly, so I don't think we were even in with a genuine chance!

@Pettylamby and I are cycle twins, so I'm also 8dpo with a 10 day LP... I also tested this morning 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 I've just been having so many symptoms and based on my temps and symptoms I feel like I may have had an earlier implantation this time... If it's not all in my head haha!! So here is my line from this morning on a Wondfo 20mIU (I found them as sensitive as FRERs when tracking for a negative after MC). Won't be offended if you guys can't see the line but will be checking in the morning with a FRER 🤞🏻

@DMT1982 we've been together from day 1 and we will be together to the end ❤❤

@Madeoftea I waited for a negative test and then started ttc before my first AF but it arrived 3 and a half weeks after MC and it was a beast of a thing, which I'm actually glad it was because I reckon I needed that good clear out. We have tried again this month so heres hoping for a BFP

@AMS19 I’m like a moth to a flame following you all :0)

Even if I don’t try this month I will be rooting for you all xxx

@DMT1982 I'm SO glad you've joined. I knew you weren't actively trying so didn't want to tag you but was hoping you'd follow across ❤❤

Hey ladies hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread.

Depending on whether I get a final diagnosis from my gastroenterologist will determine whether we TTC this month.

I am currently into day two of my second period following my D&C on the 30/12. It’s pretty heavy compared to periods pre miscarriages which I’m assuming is a good sign.

I’m not doing anything other than tracking on a period tracker which shows me my fertile days. I used this app when I conceived my little boy and with last two pregnancies so hoping it’ll work again. My cycle appears to have gone back to 26/27 days but still early days to be certain.

It’ll be good to see how you are all doing even if I’m not trying this month. Good luck everyone xxx

Hello ladies, I was recently on the other thread. I'm still in the immediate post MC stage, it happened last weekend naturally and I'm still bleeding a bit but I already know I want to get straight back into it! I don't think I want to wait until I've had a period because it seems like a missed opportunity.

Did you wait until you had a negative pregnancy test first?

I'm finding the pregnancy announcements very difficult too. A best friend told us this week that she's pregnant (after a loss, I'm ecstatic for her), and almost every woman I work with is pregnant too. It's even harder when you know a lot of them weren't planned.

@PlantMummy87 oh amazing we both have acupuncture the same day! It's so expensive so I'm not sure I'll be doing it weekly as they suggest but I'm thinking maybe I'll do it 2/3 times then switch to pregnancy reflexology when that starts up again! I've got loads if EWCM it's just mixed with blood (sorry...tmi I know). All very weird! I'm CD11 based off CD1 being the first day I had super heavy flow. Pre mmc I ovlated CD13 so let's see. I definitely feel more horny (again, sorry) and have loads of energy so reckon it's possible. OPks are blank still though. We've been DTD every other day but might start daily now given the timing

@mellous my stomach turns when I see pregnancy announcements now but thankfully I dont let it get me down.
I'm not sure when I'll test if I'm honest, I would love to say on the day I'm due AF but doubt I'll hold of till then 🙈🙈

Thanks for starting this thread @Mellous.

Good luck to all of you currently in your tww. Really hoping this is the cycle for you ladies.

@Pettylamby have everything crossed for you. 8dpo is still very early and implantation dates can vary.

I'm only cd 12 but thinking I'm probably not going to be ovulating until next week some point. Am using OPKs and BBT but trying to not go as crazy with OPKs this month. Feeling a lot more positive this cycle though than I did last as my cycle seems to slowly be getting back to normal.

@AMS19 sounds like you are going through similar to what I had last month with temps being a bit all over the place and on/off spotting. Don't count yourself out at all though as things can turn around quickly. I'm also starting acupuncture on Monday too as after last cycle. I hope it goes well for you.

@angc30 my period came back after about 4.5 weeks post mc, although I'm not sure now it counts as a period as don't think the hcg had dropped enough at that point as was still getting faint positives on FRER tests. We weren't planning on trying the cycle straight after mc but we did. It did cause a bit of confusion and upset for me though as there was a point where I was still getting faint positives but wasn't sure if it was old or new, it was old but those days I went a bit crazy testing and convincing myself the lines were getting darker. Not meaning to say this to sound negative at all. Hopefully you won't be stuck in that not knowing position as I think my hcg levels went down pretty slowly (only fully went down for me around 7 weeks post mc).

Hi all, I'm 5dpo today so have everything crossed. All I see everywhere is pregnancy announcements and baby grows with born in 2021 on them 🙁🙁. Heres hoping there will be a few rainbow babies announcements on here xx

I'll join. I'm still waiting for my bleeding to finish after my D&C 10 days ago and for my pregnancy hormones to go completely. Hopefully I'll ovulate soon, get my period out of the way and then get back to ttc. I would really like to try once I ovulate but I think the advice is to wait until you've had your first period after a MC?

@mellous oh you don't have to tell me about this! I have a wardrobe stash my OH doesn't know about! It's quite a sight! I just don't want to ever have to run out and go to a shop so like to be well prepared! Currently I have - 4 FRERS, 4 weeks digital, about 10 easy at home strips and some other CB early detection 2 pack! 😂

I knowwww @AMS19 but it's so hard to not compare! And with a 10 day luteal phase I'm running out of days very quickly! 😔

Hi all, just place marking, 4dpo. We dtd bloody loads (9 times in 8 days fgs. To think some people do this just as a usual sex life?! Shit me it's exhausting) but didn't use opks or anything. I'm really chilled about it. No desire whatsoever for early testing (she says). This is my first month of actually being able to ttc though as it took 11 weeks to get a negative hcg blood

@Pettylamby I know it happened last time but honestly 8DPO is still SO early!!! I've got everything crossed xx

@angc30 I tried after 2 weeks post MVA but have had any luck so far. My first AF was about 4.5 weeks after my MVA but was super light, 2-3 days of spotting and that's it. The last period was 5 days of spotting, 5 days heavy, and has been spotting on and off since (so about another 5 days). As long as you have a negative test you're good to try. I tried even before a negative test which wasn't ideal!
