Ttc after miscarriage 🤞🌈✨ lucky thread 3!

@calimc83 already have haha

@Ganesh2022 yeah I think especially with this being the first cycle, you’ve gotta take it all with a pinch of salt really. I mean I really hope I get pregnant but if I do have to go to cycle 2 it’ll be a lot easier to know what’s going on

Hello, can I join you all please? I had a MMC over Christmas, scan saw no hb at 10 weeks on 30/12 but measuring 7. Had an MVA on 5/1 and jumped straight back into TTC as soon as bleeding stopped a week later. Previously had a 25 day cycle so going by that until proven otherwise! Fully do not expect to get a BFP this month but definitely hopping straight on board the ttc train

@PamelaDoov hmmm good point. I think sometimes those things give us a rough indication/aren't as perfect as they ought to be. I also wonder if we're now hyperaware of everything b/c of ttc and miscarriage where for all we know the things that we're noticing would've been our normal pattern before but we wouldn't have thought about it? Wish we had mini ultrasounds machines at all times!! I hate not knowing.

@PamelaDoov yeah keep on testing! Make sure you DTD tonight though 😉 just incase x

@calimc83 @Ganesh2022 that seem to be the only explanation but then why would the opks have been negative all week and high fertility today? Not even peak today, which it would be if I ovulated. So weird. I’m gonna carry on testing every day and see where it goes.

Just invested in a clear blue fertility monitor to feel control/have something to obsess over...
@pameladoov I think ewcm can come before O then once O happens things dry up?
@Cruz86 I’ve personally heard vitex can go either way, though I did try it when ttc 8 years ago and I got pregnant that cycle, so dunno what it would or would not have done for cycles but was certainly happy with it. Seconding acupuncture...I like knowing I can obsess to him as well and ask him all ttc related stuff. It’s like half therapist half physical help.
@Skl2021 hope you’re feeling bit calmer...it’s hard. If I get pregnant again I am gonna have to remortgage my house to pay for tests and scans to reassure myself. There won’t be anywhere to bring the baby home to 😯

@PamelaDoov could u of already just ovulated? X

I’m so confused! Ewcm all week with negative OPKs, high fertility detected today and I swear I am dry as a bone 😂

@Skl2021 😆😆🙈🙈 there better be cake...that's all I'm holding out for! How u doing this eve? X

@Cruz86 ahh ok...that sounds pretty rubbish..sorry to hear that. When's your appointment? Hope u don't have to wait too long xx

Thank you @Skl2021 🤞🏻🙏🏻🌈

@Cruz86, aw noo AF! I have tried vitex and think it helps me - 400mg in morning and evening either from ovulation to AF or after AF through to next AF. I've seen both recommended and personally prefer it all the way through the cycle.

Also, try some acupuncture - it really seems to help with my spotting.

(Although remember we both got pregnant with the spotting - and iirc, both of us had MMC - i.e. nothing to do with implantation, just bad luck with either sperm or egg.)

@Skl2021 it's not crazy I'm the same 💕 I have everything crossed for you 💕🌈

@Skl2021 haha sorry yes it was meant for you 🙈 yes of course, I tested positive 8dpo on frer and they got slightly darker until 13dpo and I got a positive clearblue digital, I lost symptoms then and 16dpo tested completely negative and started to bleed I will attach pics for reference for you, nowhere near as dark as yours

I'm not feeling too bad apart from the physical side @calimc83, thank you. The spotting starts at 5dpo and af officially arrives around 9/10dpo but this cycle was 11! The early spotting is a sign that progesterone isn't as high as it should be, so just trying to do what I can while I wait for my gynae referral! This has been going on since before my mc too :(

Oh I bet you have @Skl2021 😩 the next couple of cycles are going to be focussed on sorting my hormones/cycles out, so no opks!! It will be hard though x

@Cruz86 sorry to hear that AF has arrived. Hope u are ok? How longs your LP? I was panicking about mine but my consultant friend ( fertility specialist) told me to relax and advised hormones can mess with them a bit after MC xx

@calimc83 I have some here left over from last cycle I'd like to say I'd wait until AF is due but I know I'll cave by 9/10dpo 🙈 xx

@arianasky I know, everything crossed. Don't know whether to invest in some Frers..😬 or if it's a bad idea?! X

@Skl2021 at least work will keep u occupied! Nothing much..DH is working all weekend. I don't work Fridays, Took the little ones to a place called Tropical world today, tomorrow my eldest has dancing and then we have a party Sunday. Nothing exciting 😆😆 x

@calimc83 ooh interesting to see how we both do, fingers crossed for us both 🌈🙏🏻

@calimc83 I rang my gp in the beginning of the month as soon as I got my positive and asked for bloods, they made an appointment for me for three days later but on that day I started bleeding and had a CP so didn't go to the appointment, but they definitely will do bloods for you if you explain you've had a previous loss and it's making you very anxious

Hi @Skl2021, sorry I didn't mean to worry you with my earlier message! I wasn't insinuating ectopic when I said have a scan to make sure everything's in the right place! I meant it in terms of getting an early scan where you probably can't see much but it will give you peace of mind to see a little blob there :) Ectopic wasn't even in my mind when I wrote that! So sorry xx

AF has arrived with a vengeance today. Currently curled up with a hot water bottle 😩 I've ordered some Vitex to try and increase my progesterone/lengthen my lp - anyone tried it? X
