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?!?!

@Skl2021 totally understand! I think I'll test on a FRER tomorrow, providing they turn up from amazon lol! If it was a go, I reckon I'd see a line by then xx

Hey @Skl2021 :-)
Ahh I see.. well I did get pregnant straight away after one of my mc's so best of luck to you for this one!!
Yea I've had every mc investigation possible, apart from NK cells testing. I've had my womb re-shaped this year as they found a septum, I'm also on Clexane and progestrone. All of this didn't stop me mc'ing again last month ... but the consultant said this one was probability and bad luck from that 1 in 4 chance. Gutted but onwards and upwards :-) xxx

@Acrossthevalley from the stories IV read I think that's normal for aftercare. Absolute no check ups unless you have medical management which is shocking. I have to get back in touch if I'm still getting positive tests but that's it. Sorry you had such a rough time. I was petrified of having medical management but glad everything is clear for you! I'm testing as I just wanted to see what's going on with my cycle. I don't know when to expect ovulation or period it's all just a guessing game isn't it 😩 I think I'm dealing ok with it. IV been through every emotion possible and cried and cried and cried but I'm desperate to be pregnant again so think we will try straight away or after first period. All my family know what we have been through but IV found it most helpful talking to people on here who know exactly what your going through. It's hard to explain to people that haven't experienced it. You planned a life and a future with that baby and to try and move on is the hardest thing in the world. It's totally normal to feel like that if your not ready then take some time 💕 a few weeks back I did not think I would be wanting to try again. Things will get better xx

Hey ladies, can I join? I'm so sorry to hear of your stories :-(

I've had 4 mcs now and currently in my TWW after my most recent mc last cycle. I'm 36 and so just giving it my all and trying again after every mc (as this has happened over 2 years now and feel like I'm running out of time).

I'm on cycle day 23 at the mo... where's everyone else at? xxx

@Skl2021 Oh no, that's such a shame you've had no support afterwards :( I wonder if that's a hangover from covid or it just always is like that. I had a follow up scan as they couldn't get everything out in the surgery, I had local anaesthetic but it didn't really work due to swelling and in the end I told them to stop as it was too painful. So they wanted to scan to check nothing was left. Not done any ovulation tests or anything, I'm too shell shocked still! I may wait for period first and see what's going on. Plus I'm not sure I'm ready yet. So in summary, I'm doing very badly emotionally!! Have you spoken to many people about it? I've told people what happened but I just can't talk about it otherwise or about how I'm feeling.

@Acrossthevalley hi! Our stories sound similar mine was also found around 12 weeks 😩 I had a natural miscarriage as I was already bleeding. Yes very traumatic sorry yours was too. I'm doing ok feeling a bit more positive about the future. My bleeding stopped last week however I'm still getting faint positive tests. My ovulation tests are all over the spot but probably picking up on leftover HCG! IV had no follow ups or support from the hospital or midwives. The aftercare is shocking. Now I'm just waiting for either ovulation or my period so we can start trying again. How are you doing? X

HI,
@Skl20211 I've just started my own thread with some very specific questions but sending you hugs and support as well. I had a MMC at our 12-week scan also 3 weeks ago. Medical management and then surgical management (it all went a bit wrong and was very distressing) but had final scan last week and tests negative. How are you feeling now?

@Hhdxx Also sending massive hugs to you too, cannot believe how hard life gets for some people. I know you're panicking, giving you a handhold x

@Hhdxx hello! I'm so sorry to hear that you also have been through such a horrible time. Can't imagine what you have been through and still going through. Have u had any tests done? Was this your first pregnancy? Hopefully the test keep getting darker some times it takes a few days for them to get darker especially if your using strip tests. IV got everything crossed for you 🤞✨ xx

Hello!
I'm really sorry to hear that you have had a miscarriage. I didn't have a miscarriage but my daughter was born prematurely and lived for 2 days. We've been trying to conceive for a year since losing her.
I've got faint positive tests yesterday and today and feel like the line isn't progressing so obviously going into panic mode.
Xxx
