🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 6 🌈✨🙌💞

Morning ladies, coming back as hopefully in the 2WW. I was also unprepared for how much miscarriage would affect cycle - mine even went back to 28 days after son was born and exclusively breastfeeding!
First cycle had a positive OPK on day 30 with period starting 13 days later. This morning finally got positive OPK on cycle day 18 (normally 14) so heading back in the right direction. Have promised myself I’m not going to test until period is late after indent this month…but who am I kidding!? Good luck to everyone, and praying you get a BFP this weekend @calimc83 xxx

@bunnykins123 yay! What cycle are u post MC? I'm 99.99% sure I'm out. Af due tomorrow and stark white negative on a Frer. Checked my cervix ( grim I know) and it's gone super hard and low so she's defo on her way 😩 x

@bunnykins123 yayyy 😊 tmi but all week it’s felt like I had leaked pee but it wasn’t 🤣🤣 so I know what you mean about ewcm!

@Beautyangel1 I'm so sorry about your loss, it's so hard. I found that after my miscarriages, my hormones go haywire for a while. That could mean you will have quite a few flashing faces before a static. I've had a some cycles where I've had 10 flashing faces 🙈 that's not to say you will as everyone is different but just be aware that it could happen and it's nothing to be concerned about (whilst tres frustrating!) good luck this month!

@calimc83 haha I know, I'm an obsessive symptom spotter too! Saying that - the months I've been pregnant (3x early miscarriages) only 1 gave me any symptoms. So I really believe that symptoms mean nowt really. Are you testing this morning? Just got my flashing face on CB yasss 👏

@Lizm1990 thank you for the heads up! You were right - flashy smiley today so the fun begins tonight! It's just so weird the volume of EWCM was so much more than I was expecting when technically I 'wasn't' fertile.

Hi all,

Hope everyone is safe and well.

It's been 7 weeks since my erpc for a missed miscarriage. This week I have started to track ovulation using the clear blue advanced digital.
I have had 3 low days followed by 3 high days. When can I expect my peak fertility? Thank you all x

@bunnykins123 I had Ewcm too but like you had a blank circle and was a low recording on my easy at home strips, that was 3 days ago and I was almost going to give up testing last night but this morning I got a peak which is CD15 for me now (last year I was ovulating around CD11) so try and keep testing see what happens 😊

@Frida9 my story is similar to yours. I miscarried last week at 6 weeks and we were 9 months trying. This too is our first pregnancy so it was all very new. I'm sorry to hear your family can't understand why you are upset as it is an upsetting time and to be honest it hit me harder than I thought it would. Even though it was early in the pregnancy, we still get all the emotions. I'm glad your partner is supportive though and that's the main thing. Do you think you will wait a while before trying again? I had a follow up appointment today and they said I would be my most fertile now and I'm contemplating trying straight away, although don't know if I should let things "reset" first both physically and emotionally.

@bunnykins123 it was a cheapie one step. Didn't want to waste a Frer! Ohh that's interesting to know. When have u had positives in the past? X

@bunnykins123 I symptom spot every month and it never amounts to anything! 🙈...nothing really this month that I can write home about! Make sure u get down to business today 😜 @Skl2021 it's just so tempting at times! Might hold off till Sat now xx

@calimc83 was it a FRER? I've never ever had a positive at 9dpo even when pregnant so you are defo not out! Do you have any symptoms?

@bunnykins123 @Skl2021 Thanks! Stupidly did a test before at 9DPO after a 2hr old..obvs stark white! 😩🙈 xx

@calimc83 good luck for testing on Saturday! Got my fingers crossed for you 🤞

So I am a bit confused - negative OPK and CB test but I have bucket loads of EWCM. Usually at this point I'd be getting a flashy smiley face but it's still a circle. I always thought EWCM was due to surge in hormones? I'm CD13. Has anyone had this before?

@Skl2021 😫😆 I know!! Hmm not sure...I'm tempted but trying to hold off. AF due Sat 😬 x

@Skl2021 that's good 😊 well...got a positive on a lateral flow today! Ffs 🤦🏼‍♀️..roughly around 8DPO I think xx

@peachiekeen thank you 💛 it really helps to know it's not just me. I'm sorry af has crept up on you 😞 I think I'm going to have a month off tracking too, it just becomes all I think about and then it's so disappointing when it doesn't work out.

Hi ladies - I'm back from skiing so thought I'd drop a message to say hi to everyone 👋 just about to enter my 'fertile week' which fills me with dread.

Just a quick one - is anyone taking aspiring all the time and it just from O or BFP? Had an appointment at my clinic today and a nurse recommended it all the time but I've only ever used it after O.

@Frida9 I'm sorry you're joining us lovely. I was also 6 weeks with my first. I've found this group such a support. It does get easier but there are dips and bumps in the road. We'll be there for you through it all

@Sassy144 don't feel guilty lovely - grief isn't rational. I saw my friend after a few weeks the other day and felt physically sick as she actually looked pregnant and we should have been roughly the same dates. It's not her fault and I love her and I felt awful for it.

I'm having a rough day. AF really caught me off guard and I really thought it had happened this month. And then worrying about the super short luteal phase hasn't helped. I'm not going to track anything next month. I'm going away in April for 2 weeks so I'm going to just take a proper break from it all even though it kills me to know I'll be pushing another month ahead. I need to get out of my head. Now if only I could take a holiday from my body! 👍🏻

@Skl2021 Hey am ok. Nothing to report as yet.not tested as yet 😂. How u doing? X
