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?!?!

@claremc1983 epu told me to ring back after 3 weeks if positive which it was but I didn't ring back as I thought it was so faint. As long as there's no pains or weird discharge or smells as that would indicate infection I just thought I would be ok. Obviously if it was still there after period I would of rang them. X

@claremc1983 I didn't get a negative until I had my period 😩 always had faint lines. Hopefully yours will be negative soon 🤞 x

So I tested again this morning. 3 weeks 2 days since my medical management and at first the test looked negative. Then checked it outside the time scale and there's the faintest of faint lines. Argh these tests are driving me nuts x

@arianasky it's so hard for partners as well..my DH struggled in the first week or so but he's back at work now. Says he doesn't like to think about it otherwise he gets too upset. Where as I'm the opposite and obsess over it...I'm ok. Have good and bad days. I'm just over 3 weeks since my MMC..x

@claremc1983 they have been allover the place since ttc. I had some as long as 50 days. Think they settled around 30-35. But ovulation was usually more after 20 days. I have just taken another opk and it's got quite a strong line not positive yet but compared to yesterday stark white no line it's a big jump 🤦 best start DTD 🙈 incase it's in the next few days! Yes I think the stress doesn't help I have been stressing all week about it!! X

@Skl2021 how long are your cycles normally? I think I ovulate quite early on a 24-28 day cycle. Often just after AF. Try not to stress-easier said than done I know x

@chasingtherainbow1 yes new start new year great mentality! No haven't probably drunk as much as I should and I have a terrible cold and temperature ATM would happen when I'm due to ovulate 😩. When I fell pregnant I got positive opk on cd 14 but every other month it has been later like after cd 20 and it's never the same either! So just have to wait it out and see when it arrives 🤦 yes that's what I was worried about it turning positive straight away. Haven't DTD for a few days now so hoping it's not yet! X

@Skl2021 thank you, it's been a horrible 2 months of not trying whilst having the tests but looking forward to a new start this new year!

Hmm have you been drinking a lot of water? Sometime hydration can effect ewcm. What CD do you usually get a positive opk? Sometimes they turn positive suddenly when the previous day didn't look anywhere near positive. Mine was a bit like that this month

Hi guys, I just sort of watch this board for comfort and don't say too much. I've been having nk cells tests and have my last biopsy this Friday and we can start TTC again after a chemical in March and a mmc in June.

@Skl2021 in terms of ovulation, since June mine has fluctuated between around CD14 and CD20. I'm not sure if I've always been like this as I got pregnant twice in a row straight after coming off the pill. Have you been doing opk's? My usual signs that ovulation has occurred is tender boobs straight after ovulation but in 5dpo now and still don't feel too bad just very slight tenderness. I guess ovulation symptoms can change from month to month. Also with my pregnancies, I didn't have any ovulation symptoms at all! Just keep going!

@Hopingforarainbow27

Has anyone heard or tried ferti-lilly?
I haven't tried it but have heard of it, and I've tried inserting my menstrual cup after DTD, which I guess is similar. I did conceive the first month I tried that but it ended in a chemical sadly.

@claremc1983 I'm trying to stay positive and think it'll happen when it's meant to but it's hard and I know my partner finds it tough aswell, how are you?

claremc1983 · 08/12/2021 08:54

@arianasky so sorry to hear about your MMC and chemical but welcome xx how are u feeling? X

arianasky · 08/12/2021 07:25

Hiya ladies could I join please? AF came today I think a chemical pregnancy as had so many positives on different tests but is what it is, my fertile window should be around 23rd-27th. I had a MMC in September at 12 weeks and D+C on 01.10 since then this will be my first cycle tracking etc, how are you all?

@Stargazer89

Hi everyone, good luck with all the christmas BFPs 🙏🏼 I started my miscarriage 16 days ago and still bleeding lightly (when I wipe etc) I am really keen to start ttc asap and the nurse told me I can try as soon as get negative pregnancy test. My tests are negative now thankfully and basically I was just wondering if anyone knows if I could ovulate whilst still bleeding lightly? Or will that happen once bleeding has completely finished? I am pretty clueless and haven’t been tracking or anything.
I would start your opk's as they should give you an honest reading now I'd your pregnant tests are negative.

[quote claremc1983]@Jayjane79 we did twice 🙈 but just scared of infection now! X[/quote]
Well look at it this way you've already got jiggy now you may as well carry on and hope to catch that egg. I've also petrified my self now about infection but I've done it so no turning back. Just keeping my fingers crossed I havnt and I have better luck this time.

[quote claremc1983]@Jayjane79 yeah it was nearly positive 2 days ago and then yest at my scan she said I was about to ovulate..don't normally get ovulation cramps though x[/quote]

Jayjane79 · 07/12/2021 13:12

[quote claremc1983]@Jayjane79 they said it's the risk of infection if your cervix is still open? ( think then it's still only low) now feeling crampy. Hope it's not the signs of an infection x[/quote]
It could be your ovulation, havd you done any opk's ?

claremc1983 · 07/12/2021 13:09

Jayjane79 · 07/12/2021 11:29

[quote claremc1983]@Jayjane79 I'm also still spotting...only a tiny bit though x[/quote]
What was the reason they said not to have unprotected sex ? If its just because you need a period in-between I'd say get jiggy.
