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 😂😂😂 it's such awkward timing!! Oh that's interesting....maybe it was that then. I just hope me retained pregnancy tissue disappears with this AF x

claremc1983 · 16/12/2021 19:07

@Skl2021 ha ha I know!!! Soooo awks..having a great time thanks! Weathers been amazing so far..spa day tomorrow. Parents are out with us do babysitting tonight so we can go out. Glad u are ok.are u holding out til day 7?? X

LittleMysSister · 16/12/2021 17:17

[quote claremc1983]@Skl2021 It's quite intense so must be AF. Just find it weird that it was only a week after ovulation..how u getting on?? Annoyingly I'll be fertile when we're staying at my parents for Christmas. Can't be getting jiggy under their roof 😂🙈 x[/quote]
Looool this is the same for me...will either be at my PIL's or my parent's house when I am ovulating by the looks of it! Bloody typical.

My AF also arrived a week after I got my static smiley, wondering whether that was the 2nd surge people sometimes mention before AF rather than true ovulation. Who knows.

Skl2021 · 16/12/2021 17:13

@claremc1983 sorry to hear that! But look new cycle new start 🤞 yes maybe it's just your body settling! Weird things happen after miscarriage hopefully your cycle goes back to normal now. I'm doing ok but it's getting harder as the days go on I will crack soon 🤣🙊 hahah what timing! You will have to be super quiet 🤣🙈😉 how's the holiday going? X

@claremc1983 do you think it's af then? Or has it stopped? X

@Cruz86 Yes totally agree, don't know if I'm being stupid to even give it a second thought tbh since it took me 5 months to even get a bfp at all so not really sure I've got the luxury of being so picky. It would mean I only have Dec, Jan and Feb to get a positive before I have to stop for 2 months

But it genuinely would be so difficult for us to have another birthday around that time of year. Plus my sister's birthday is January and she has always hated it, and it's such a pain in the arse for everyone else in terms of trying to buy her a gift/wanting to go out to celebrate, it really is the worst time to have a birthday. I'd take December if it wasn't for one of my SCs having their birthday then, at least it's a cheery month.

Tbh I didn't really think it would take long enough to become an issue :( I specifically waited until May to come off my pill in order to rule out Dec/Jan birthdays and looks like it's come back to bite me as I can't imagine I'll get a bfp over the next couple of months tbh.

Cruz86 · 16/12/2021 14:36

Oh don't, that would be the last thing we need @claremc1983 😂 I think I'll probably just see what happens, no tracking ovulation etc. If it happens, it happens. What are you thinking of doing? I haven't taken a test yet, I'm too scared about what it'll do to me mentally when I see a negative 😞 x

claremc1983 · 16/12/2021 14:31

@Cruz86 I know!! I could just imagine the due date being on the first day of term...will u TTC regardless now then or still undecided!? It's so difficult..I think we'll start again once AF is out the way...just need my tests to show negative now as well x

Cruz86 · 16/12/2021 14:06

Ahh I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling mixed thoughts because of timings! I felt terrible saying it because there are people struggling to fall pregnant and would happily have a baby whatever month of the year, but I just couldn't help thinking about it.

My boy starts school in September too @claremc1983. The thought of navigating that and birth/a newborn really stresses me out. But I really want to be pregnant again 😩

@LittleMysSister mine was a July baby too. I was so excited to have a Summer baby 😞

LittleMysSister · 16/12/2021 11:38

@Cruz86 @claremc1983 OMG I so get what you mean about timings...like I said in my comment above, we have SO many family birthdays in Dec/Jan, and these include my 2 SCs. And Christmas as well! So hard to afford and too much going on.

My recent MC would have been due in July, it would have been perfect :(

claremc1983 · 16/12/2021 08:52

@Cruz86 I think I ovulated around a similar time to you...like you my timings for this pregnancy were perfect. The baby would have been due in May, and my eldest would start school in Sept..if I start TTC now then I'd be due around Sept/Oct which I didn't really want..argh! But I'm not getting any younger....x

claremc1983 · 16/12/2021 08:49

@Skl2021 so I'm bleeding quite a bit now and can see a bit more of the 'pregnancy material' coming away. Sorry for TMI...but if I only ovulated around last Monday/Tuesday could this be AF or just the rest of my lining finally coming away?? X

Jayjane79 · 16/12/2021 08:44

@20viona

Yes it's been completely negative pregnancy tests since Saturday. That's good news that you seemed to Ovulate so quickly! Fingers crossed for you.
That's really good 👍 I'd start your opk's as soon as. Good luck for us both.

Hi girls. Had a miscarriage last week and wondering how the hell do I work my cycle out now? I usually do OPKs from about day 9 but I dont know when to start.
Hi hunny ,,, I'm now 3dpo I miscarried 3 weeks ago. I stopped bleeding 9 days later then ovulated another 9 days after that, making ovulation CD18. Tbh the month I fell pregnant I ovulated CD18 and the only reason I can put it down to is the prednacare I'm taking because I usually ovulate CD14/CD15. I started doing opk's again when my bleeding had stopped. I wasnt having positive pregnancy tests anymore and my opk at CD9 was negative so I knew this was a good thing to show when it would go positive again. TMI now Confused but CD16 of this cycle I had ALOT of fertile cervical mucous far more than I usually do, I'm not sure why whether it's something to do with my MC who knows but I knew ovulation wasn't far off when I saw this. If your pregnancy tests are negative I'd start your opk's sooner rather than later as not to miss your window if your not waiting a cycle. I didn't want to. Ive used the premom app and posted you my chart this month following miscarriage. I'm really hoping for a BFP Christmas day.
Ttc after miscarriage 🤞🌈✨

Hi all. I had a medically managed miscarriage and passed everything on the 30th November. My bleeding stopped completely by last Friday. I'm now experiencing A LOT of ewcm, so much more than I'd normally get! Surely it's too early for me to be ovulating already? It's really stressing me out because I'm so desperate to try again now if it is, but it will mean (if I did conceive this cycle) that the due date would be 2 weeks before my first born's birthday and 1.5 weeks before my niece. I'm so torn with what to do and whether I should just go for it or wait a couple of cycles 😩 the timings were just so perfect with my previous pregnancy 😞

claremc1983 · 15/12/2021 21:49

I will! Thank you...no more stressing for either of us! 😬 x

Skl2021 · 15/12/2021 20:41

@claremc1983 I'm trying 🙊 don't know how much longer IL last 🤣 we'll keep me updated if it is your period like u say fresh start for you! Just enjoy the rest of your holiday 🏖️ xx

Try hold off as much as you can....I know that's super hard though! I have everything crossed 🤞🏻 for you...I'm not sure if it's actually AF arriving actually. Seems more like bleeding than spotting now, kind of hope it is so I can hopefully get rid of all this retained pregnancy material and start again afresh next cycle...x

Skl2021 · 15/12/2021 16:36

@claremc1983 yes give yourself a bit of time ✨ you never know though your not out yet! Yes I'm trying to keep positive but then don't want to be too positive as it will hurt so much if it doesn't happen 💔 hard balance! Nope no symptoms but I'm only 4dpo so way to early 🤣🙈 need to be patient a bit longer but I am itching to test!! Xx

@JuniperAndTonic yey you can come join me in the tww 🎉 yes painfully slow I'm starting to get the itch to test 🤦👀 yes stupid I know and way to early I just can't help myself! Yes I was scared I wasn't going to ovulate or it was going to be really late but it was only a few days later. X
