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?!?!

Do you get it ok prescription? I don't know whether to order folate or get folic on prescription. I heard it's best to take the natural form of it? Mind field!

@Hopingforarainbow27 I take 5 mg but that's due to me having a higher BMI. X

Can I ask if any of you take folate/folic acid? If so how much? I'm just realising mine is 0.4mg I've been taking when midwife has advised me 5mg!!!!

From what I’ve read on other forums, I think so! To give you context, I believed I had no HCG left in my system because of easy@home. Then got positives at hospital and first response but negative on easy@home. I would test again tomorrow with FMU.
Good luck!

Jayjane79 · 23/12/2021 19:59

[quote Lookingforarainbow22]Easy@home has a higher HCG threshold. If you can, I’d try a first response! I see a positive on he second one![/quote]
Does that make the one step more sensitive than the easy at home?

Lookingforarainbow22 · 23/12/2021 19:52

Easy@home has a higher HCG threshold. If you can, I’d try a first response! I see a positive on he second one!

Hi all, I’m joining the thread as some of you are at the same point as me and I’m finding TTC more stressful after my MMC.
I had an MVA on 19th November; and after thinking I had a BFP last week, found out my hormones hadn’t returned to normal yet. They have now though as AF has returned, so I’m hopeful that this cycle can be more positive!
So sorry to read about all of your losses, but hopeful we can all support each other!

@Jayjane79 I feel like I can see something on both?? Eek x

Jayjane79 · 23/12/2021 16:34

Advice ladies start of a positive or faulty tests. Easy at home is negative from the same urine.

@Hhdxx sorry to hear about your losses. I was 9 weeks pregnant when I was told I had a mmc as the baby stopped developing at 6. It took 10 weeks for my pregnancy tests to turn negative. I was told this was unusually long though! No retained tissue or anything. I think it's just different from person to person.

@Hhdxx I didn't test negative until after af so about 6 weeks. Sorry your going through this. Have they advised not to try until you have had the tests? X
@JuniperAndTonic thankyou 💕 x

@JuniperAndTonic Thank you, right back at you..such an emotional rollercoaster! X

claremc1983 · 23/12/2021 16:20

Thanks @chasingtherainbow1 our chance will definitely come xx

JuniperAndTonic · 23/12/2021 16:08

Awww @claremc1983 and @Skl2021 I think a good cry is good for all of us sometimes! This is such an emotional rollercoaster. Big virtual hugs from me 🤗 Flowers

Hopingforarainbow27 · 23/12/2021 15:34

@Hhdxx I tested positive for a good while after mc. Maybe 3weeks

Hopingforarainbow27 · 23/12/2021 15:33

@Hhdxx I'm so sorry your going through this x

chasingtherainbow1 · 23/12/2021 15:21

@claremc1983 I think my periods were quite a lot heavier than normal for about 3 months after mc. Then they went really light for 2 months and now they seem to be back to normal. Hoping this means our chance of a rainbow baby might come soon!

I have a little cry every now and again. Your body needs it to get rid of toxins. If I ever feel like crying, I just go ahead and do it.

Hhdxx · 23/12/2021 15:17

Hey,
I posted on here a few weeks ago and wondered if I could have some advice off you lovely ladies.
So last year I had a placental abruption with my daughter who sadly passed away after 2 days. It took me 18 months to conceive with her.
After 12 months of TTC for a rainbow, I finally fell pregnant. Sadly, last Thurs i had to have a medically managed miscarriage at 9 weeks as it wasn't progressing.
I'm still bleeding a week later and have been told I need blood tests go check for sticky blood in 6 weeks time. I'm just so desperate to TTC again.
I'm still testing positive on pregnancy tests which I guess is normal?
Has anybody had anything similar?
Xxx

claremc1983 · 23/12/2021 13:47

@Skl2021 it really does. I hadn't cried for a couple of weeks and I think that helped ✨ x

@JuniperAndTonic sounds promising I don't know how your resisting testing! I started around 7 dpo 🙈🤦 I also was very wet when I got my bfp! I'm doing ok I had a breakdown and cry yesterday but I'm a bit better today. Just a shit journey to be on it's hard when you want something so much and it doesn't happen! I tested this morning I'm 12 dpo and negative so just waiting for af now. Should be here tomorrow! Merry Christmas to me 🙄 xx

Hi everyone, just checking in! Sorry to see some new names on this thread - hope your TTC journeys are short ones but we’re all in this together Flowers

I’m 8DPO and currently resisting the urge to test! It’s tempting, but I’m going to wait until my period is due as I don’t really like testing early. No symptoms at the moment except a LOT of discharge (sorry TMI!) which I noticed when I was pregnant last time - not getting my hopes up though!

@Skl2021 how are you? Did you test again? Has AF arrived properly?

@claremc1983 sorry to hear your body is messing with you again! My first period after miscarriage was definitely a bit heavier and a bit more painful. I’m sure it’s just all your hormones needing time to settle back down.

Hope everyone is ready for Christmas, keeping my fingers crossed for some Christmas BFPs 🤞🏻

@claremc1983 it just sounds like your body is still adjusting. May just take a little longer to get back to normal. I know it's frustrating when u want to get back to it and your body doesn't want to! Hopefully it settles soon. My first period was exactly the same as normal I was expecting the worse! However I think my second when it arrives might be different! IV had pains on and off for days already! X
