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?!?!

@claremc1983 yes I don't trust these tests 🤦 we will see 🤞 oh no welcome back to the cold 🤣 hmm maybe your body is still not back to normal? It's weird how it affects it so much. Has it just been spotting? X

@Skl2021 eek!! That's exciting...they have colour to them so might not be evaps?! See what tomorrow's tests are like..
Yeah am good, just back to the UK today. AF has been a weird one...just spotting today, normally it lasts a good 7 days..xx

@Cruz86 it’s so painful isn’t it. I’m finding it hard letting go of what could have been. I would have been 14 weeks. You should treat yourself tomorrow, no matter how big or small Flowers x

Cruz86 · 19/12/2021 18:24

I didn't think about doing something nice for the 12 week mark. I would've hit it tomorrow 😭 hope you're all okay xx

PearFizz · 19/12/2021 17:51

@Sparklesurprise29 thank you for your reply, I am sorry for your loss also Flowers I think treating yourself on 30th sounds like a wonderful idea x

Sparklesurprise29 · 19/12/2021 15:56

Thanks for that @Jayjane79, will download that app! Bought some opks off amazon, I'll do a pg test in a few days and if its negative I'll start on the opks a couple of days later.
Its bizarre that I'm still testing positive when I don't feel pregnant and haven't bled for over a week shows how weird the body can beConfused
Sending love @PearFizzFlowers not enjoying the aching feeling I get whenever I see babies/announcements onlineSad would've been 12 weeks on the 30th dec, going to spend that evening doing something nice I think

Skl2021 · 19/12/2021 15:12

Hi everyone,

We’ve been trying to conceive since March and had a chemical pregnancy in October which was completely devastating and I’m still trying to process it. Thought this was my month as a few days late but got my period today and just feel a bit deflated.

I hope it’s ok to join the thread, I know I haven’t been trying for very long and my loss was very early compared to others Flowers

I have also recently found out that a friend is pregnant and due at the exact time I would have been so that’s going to be really hard.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

@Sparklesurprise29

Thanks for your reply *@Jayjane79*, luckily one nurse I talked to after my MC basically said its safe to dtd as long as you've stopped bleeding so took that as a green light to try again! Very glad I can still ovulate even with hcg, how did you figure out your dpo? Previously I just went with what my clue app predicted from my cycles and it worked out
My pregnancy tests went negative before my bleeding stopped so my opk's were negative to pretty much straight away. Which made it easier to detect my peak. I will add a picture show you from my premom app. I have no symptoms and 6dpo not feeling very hopeful.

@Sparklesurprise29

Hi everyone, I had a MC two weeks ago (started 6 days before then finished), had a scan to confirm it was complete. I did a cheapie pregnancy test yesterday - I know there is a faint line but could this be an evap? Or does this indicate I still have hcg in my system? Really hoping my hcg levels have went down enough so I can ovulate again... Any insights would be great!
Yes you definitely still have HCG in your system BUT you can still ovulate to straight away after a MC with detectable HCG in your system. I think this is why they suggest waiting a cycle to try again only because of dates. J havnt naughty me lol currently 6dpo.

@Skl2021 how's the testing going? X

Cruz86 · 17/12/2021 21:16

It's really hard trying to think practically vs what your heart wants isn't it @LittleMysSister 😞 When did you miscarry? Was it recently?

We've decided that we're not going to worry about when we dtd and if it happens, it happens. But if not, in March I'll start using opks again x

claremc1983 · 17/12/2021 19:53

@Skl2021 😆😆😆😆😆

Skl2021 · 17/12/2021 19:02

@Skl2021 argh!! Can u hold out till Monday?? X

20viona · 17/12/2021 16:11

@BigAlice I defo see that but it is strangely thin. I don't trust CB I go for FRER. Good luck!

BigAlice · 17/12/2021 14:55

@Skl2021 I have got anymore tests at home, so think I will pop to the shops tonight and get one for the morning…..maybe splash out on a better brand! I’ll let you know how I get on Smile

Skl2021 · 17/12/2021 14:50

@BigAlice you never know! Have you any other tests? Don't count yourself out completely yet! It's horrible when you get dodgy tests that get your hopes up ✨ x

OP posts:
BigAlice · 17/12/2021 14:43

@Skl2021 thanks for your response, I think you’re right…..it’s too thin isn’t it. I’m like 13 dpo so a positive would be properly showing now wouldn’t it! I don’t know why I kid myself 😂😂

Skl2021 · 17/12/2021 14:40

@BigAlice I can definitely see a line but it looks too thin of a line. IV seen alot of false positives where the line is thin. I would test with another brand! How many dpo are you? X

OP posts:
BigAlice · 17/12/2021 14:19

Hi everyone,

I just wanted some opinions really, this is my first month TTC after the miscarriage. Do you think that’s just an evap line or can you even see a line!? I think I’m just kidding myself I can see something
