Ttc after miscarriage 🤞🌈✨

Just a thread for any ladies ttc after a miscarriage! Nice to get some support from people going through the same thing. So I had a MMC at ten weeks nearly three weeks ago now. I'm still getting faint positive on tests. My ovulation tests are still all over the place possibly due to the HCG still being in my system. So not totally accurate right now. So I'm currently stuck in limbo land either waiting for ovulation or my period 🤔 any ladies want to join the journey?!?!

I think a similar thing happened with me @Cruz86 hope everyone had a lovely Christmas? Hope I wasn't the only loon doing OPK's Christmas Day?! 🙈😆 x

Hi everyone, hope you're all okay! I've started spotting today which is just under 4 weeks since my miscarriage and the bleeding started. Does this sound unusual? I know it's silly, but it just seems too on time and I thought things would be all over the place to begin with! X

claremc1983 · 24/12/2021 19:35

@Sparklesurprise29 😆😆 mine are super negative at the mo! Blaming that on coffee and Prosecco x

claremc1983 · 24/12/2021 19:34

Sparklesurprise29 · 24/12/2021 17:25

@Sparklesurprise29 I've always gone by CM but started with the OPKs as not sure where I am with everything after the MC. If you DTD today you should be covered. Good luck! X

claremc1983 · 24/12/2021 12:08

@Skl2021 gosh it really does fly! Does it feel like a year? Is it your first you're trying for? X

Sparklesurprise29 · 24/12/2021 11:25

Hi everyone I got a stronger line on my opk yesterday so hoping for peak today as its Christmas day tomorrow and no time for dtd!
However I have a lot less ewcm than I did earlier in the week, its more watery but less of it too...can your ovulation levels go up and down? Could the positive be a sign that AF is coming soon instead? First time using the sticks this week and finding them a bit confusing. Last time I just went with how the cervical mucus looked and I did fall pregnant so not sure if thats maybe a better method.

Ah so sorry. Great timing witch 😡 hope you are ok. I guess at least she's here and not hanging about..and you can think about Christmas 🎅🏻 and the next cycle!
Been speaking to a good friend of mine ( who's a Consultant/Clinical lead in Gynaecology/fertility) told her about my long AF and she said a good bleed is what is needed 🙈 start afresh and all that so all hail the AF for us! 😆 x

@Tofu35 I don't have any advise but it seems positive to me fingers crossed it works for you 🤞 x

I wonder if anyone here has had a similar experience- I was TTC for 2 years before falling pregnant. I only ever got a small about of EWCM, and would usually have to rely on ovulation kits etc to find out when my fertile days were. Since my miscarriage, I seem to be getting a load of EWCM and my sex drive is a lot higher. Which is easier to identify than squinting at test lines, but is a new experience for me! Blush

@Hopingforarainbow27 you might just have folate deficiency. I got put on 5mg a few years back as my folate was low and I wasn't ttc then. The one I use is on Amazon and is called bio innovations I think. Hard to find 5 mg x

Hopingforarainbow27 · 23/12/2021 21:54

@Skl2021 no I don't. Maybe she recommended it because I've had two miscarriages.

claremc1983 · 23/12/2021 21:53

Welcome @Hopingforarainbow27 I think we had a MC roughly the same time. I finally got a negative with AF which arrived over a week ago..keen to start TTC but this AF is dragging like hell..x

@Hopingforarainbow27 do you have a higher BMI is that why you have been told to take it? When I was pregnant I did get a prescription from the doctors. However when I'm ttc I bought my own from Amazon. X
