Hi everyone! How are you all doing? Sorry, I’ve been away and not been on here for a little bit. There’s so much to catch up on, just read through everyone’s posts now. Firstly welcome to all the new comers! I’m so sorry to read about all your losses and that you find yourself here on this thread. But the ladies on here are so lovely and supportive, and I’ve personally found it a great comfort and positive outlet during the tough times ❤️
@susiebluebell how have you been doing? Yes we did get sunshine that next day!… swiftly followed by the return of rain the day after that 😂 Just been away on a staycation with the OH to try and relax and have some quality time together…. And it was actually dry and sunny for most of it! Plus I love the autumn leaves at the moment, so pretty 😊
@Shortmamashortcycles hope your cycle has settled down now? My first cycle after my last MC was really short - 19 days. Then the 2nd cycle was a more normal length for me at 27 days. I know hormones are all over the place after MC and can affect cycles for a few months. Also randomly skipped a cycle earlier this year, can be so frustrating when you’re not sure what’s going on.
@hewegoagain how are you doing? I’m so sorry to hear you had that awful situation with cancelling your midwife appointment. It still shocks me how insensitive some people can be! I had my midwife’s number so just cancelled through text and even that text felt so hard to send, I can only imagine how hard that was doing it in person and then being questioned on it. I’m so sorry ❤️
Hi @re6ecca and @Sarah0409, recognise you from the last thread, glad you’ve both found the new thread all ok. How have you both been doing? @Sarah0409 I’ve personally found OPKs really helpful in pinpointing when I ovulate and giving us the best chance of dtd at the right time. It’s the only thing I use, I don’t temp but that’s mainly because I know I’d get a bit obsessive with it! I’m already a POAS addict 😂 Also, I’m not that far behind you in age, I’m turning 36 soon!
Thank you for the positive stories @bez91 @elsimo and @SLCxxx and keeping us updated! Nice to hear from you all 🥰 Reading about your journeys and BFPs always leaves me feeling more hopeful and positive. Glad your 12 week scan went well @bez91! I feel like that’s gone by so quick, although probably doesn’t for you. Wishing you all the best and keep us updated ❤️
@StillJustWaiting firstly so sorry to hear about your losses. I’m TTC #1 too and sometimes feels like such a long and hard journey to become a mum. With regards to your cycles, have you thought about trying ovulation tests to pinpoint when you exactly ovulate? Sounds like you could have ovulated on days 13 and 14. I’ve never had ovulation bleeds but I have heard of other people having it. Do you ever experience other symptoms around ovulation, like ovulation pain or EWCM?
@Kelb79 I’m so sorry for your loss and everything you’re going through. With me, I don’t think I ovulated between my MC and my first period. I think my period came about 2 weeks after the bleeding completely stopped from the MC. I remember it took ages for my HCG to completely drop and I didn’t get a negative test until just over 3 weeks after I miscarried, then my period returned 2 days after that, although I know it’s different for everyone. Hopefully your cycles will return to normal soon. I also got high LH tests when I was still having a positive pregnancy test after the MC so assumed it was the levels of HCG that were still in my system as I’m pretty sure I’ve read somewhere you can’t ovulate if HCG is still present?
Hope everyone is doing ok. Fingers crossed for BFPs on here soon 😊 I’m currently CD9 on my 3rd cycle post MC. Trying not to get too obsessive with TTC again, but it’s so hard not to! I’ve been prescribed 6 cycles worth of low dose Clomid to try, has anyone else ever used this? Thinking if nothing has happened by January I might give it a go… just a little nervous about taking it, don’t know why. Anyway, hope you’re all having a lovely weekend x
