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?!?!

@LittleMysSister thanks! That's kind of what I was doing x

Sparklesurprise29 · 21/12/2021 14:41

Thanks for your reply @Hopingforarainbow27, maybe best to not bother with the sticks, I think I just want some kind of indication that things are returning to normal
Hopefully AF will show up in Jan Xmas Hmm

Hopingforarainbow27 · 21/12/2021 13:51

@Sparklesurprise29 I would count the bleeding the start of a new cycle but I don't know about ovulation on that cycle as I never wanted to try straight away

Sparklesurprise29 · 21/12/2021 13:26

Hi everyone if I'm getting EWCM but negative ovulation tests does this mean I'm not yet ovulating Confused
Finding it all so confusing trying to calculate when my potential period will come, is a new cycle technically from the start of MC bleeding, when its happened or when all bleeding has stopped?
Had such a regular cycle before this, its so annoying that all my period tracker apps are wrong and desperate for my to log (what they think) is a very late period
Any insights would be handyXmas Hmm

Ttc after miscarriage 🤞🌈✨

@claremc1983 Hmm I tend to only count the days when I actually need to use protection, especially at the end when it's just tailing off.

claremc1983 · 21/12/2021 10:47

This might be a stupid question but do you count the spotting at the end of your period as your period or not? X

claremc1983 · 20/12/2021 23:09

@LittleMysSister it really is incredibly frustrating....we have to try stay positive though, which is easier said than done. I need to stop obsessing as well......😬...wishing that baby dust right back at you ✨...xx

LittleMysSister · 20/12/2021 19:31

@claremc1983 Yeah it definitely does become all-consuming. It's so frustrating you only get one chance a month, it's such a long wait when you miss a chance isn't it?

I just can't believe I am ovulating earlier this month, it's just soooo typical. DP is usually away every other weekend but would normally have been returning home last night...because it's Christmas he left yesterday afternoon and gets back Wednesday morning with his kids, so no chance of DTD until they're in bed and it will be too late for my egg by then!

If I'd have known it was going to happen earlier than usual I would have DTD more in the run up, as it is I think it might have only been once this week, which was yesterday 😒 I thought Christmas Eve and Christmas Day would be the key dates this month.

Annoying.

Wishing Christmas baby dust to us all!!

claremc1983 · 20/12/2021 18:44

@Skl2021 100% 😆 we must think of the positives at times like this 🥂 x

claremc1983 · 20/12/2021 18:43

@LittleMysSister I totally get where you are coming from! TTC is such a stressful process....my DH is 43 and I'll be 39 in Jan. I find myself obsessing constantly about TTC even when I'm doing other stuff/trying to keep busy it's constantly on my mind - where I am in my cycle etc. It's just all consuming. Fingers crossed for you this cycle...u never know! I'm sure I read somewhere you should start DTD before you get a really positive OPK. Wishing u so much luck 🍀 xx

LittleMysSister · 20/12/2021 13:54

@Skl2021 @claremc1983 Yeah they do....I just feel like for whatever reason that's not the case for us 🤣 I don't know why.

My DP is 44 and I've been off the pill since the May. The only result we got was in October which ended in my chemical, and when I checked back on Flo we had literally DTD for 5 days in a row covering ovulation. AND I'd used PreSeed AND inserted my menstrual cup afterwards.

Just feel like we need to get it right on the money for it to work, you know? But I will hope I'm wrong, or hope that this OPK means ovulation in 36 hours and no sooner, and then hope my egg lives for 24 hours 🤣

It's just so typical isn't it, I never get blazing OPK sticks, I am usually trying to judge whether it's dark enough, but this one is sooo much darker than the control line.

Skl2021 · 20/12/2021 13:31

@claremc1983 ohh absolutely 🙊🥂 IV still got bits to buy 🙈🤣 at least we can enjoy Christmas now and have a few drinks 💃 x

@Skl2021 😆😆 yes!! Might as well have a cheeky Baileys will I'm at it...x

claremc1983 · 20/12/2021 13:26

@LittleMysSister you should be ok if you DTD yest. Don't they say sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days? X

Skl2021 · 20/12/2021 13:22

@claremc1983 we better get started then 🤣🙈
@LittleMysSister your still in with a chance if you dtd yesterday 🤞✨

OP posts:
LittleMysSister · 20/12/2021 13:12

Arghhh I'm so pissed off, been doing OPKs & CB OPK and they have both gone positive today....the one time when my DP isn't back home until Wednesday night 😩

We DTD yesterday but looks like we'll be missing the opportunity this month, ffs. It's only CD13 for me and I normally don't ovulate until around CD17/18 so it's just bloody typical isn't it.

claremc1983 · 20/12/2021 13:02

@Skl2021 same!! Not wrapped a single thing yet...x

Skl2021 · 20/12/2021 10:54

@claremc1983 af should be here in 4 days I think so not long to go just before Christmas 🤦 not what I need 🙈 yes I think you do secretly hope it happens but I'm trying not to get my hopes up! Need to concentrate on Christmas now 🤣 need to start wrapping 🙌 x

OP posts:
claremc1983 · 20/12/2021 10:46

@Skl2021 oh rubbish...but remember you're not out till AF shows...it's still v early days! Yes happy but also secretly hoped I'd fall when we DTD when we weren't supposed to....x

Skl2021 · 20/12/2021 10:17

@claremc1983 yes I used the same cheapies and a frer. I caved 😩🙈 don't have much hope now. Oh well at least that's good news 🎉 fresh start! I was so happy when I finally seen that negative test after weeks of faint positives! X

OP posts:
claremc1983 · 20/12/2021 10:13

@Skl2021 oh no really?? Did u use the same cheapies? Hope u are ok? I've tested today and it's finally totally negative...I'm pleased as mean we can get on withTTC however it's a scary thought starting all over again XX

Hopingforarainbow27 · 20/12/2021 09:54

Aw it really is horrible! I'm dreading it but also want it too then I think maybe I'm not meant to have children. It's a real rollercoaster

Skl2021 · 20/12/2021 09:51

@Hopingforarainbow27 I'm petrified of it happening again! Currently in the tww and although I desperately want to be pregnant I'm also terrified if I am 🤦 such a weird feeling to want something but be afraid of it ,🤔 x

OP posts:
Skl2021 · 20/12/2021 09:48

@claremc1983 definite evaps. Bfn today 😩 think I'm out xx

Hopingforarainbow27 · 19/12/2021 23:59

Anyone else scared to get pregnant again after miscarriage? I've had 2 and all my bloods are ok so all I can think is that it's going to happen again
