🌈 Ttc after miscarriage thread 7 🌈💕🤞✨

@bunnykins123 😫🙈..what cycle day are you? I don't think I got my BFP till at least 13DPO? X

Im still spotting, but it’s been mixed with ewcm and my cervix is unreachably high… but negative opk! Still blank circles on Clearblue too :( I’m kinda hoping I tested too late and that’s why it’s not picking anything up, and that ov happened when I first started bleeding on Monday. I’m not meant to ov until fri/sat but if I did ov somewhere around sun/Mon then that’s going back to normal pre-MC ovulation times so it’s not impossible. But I’m worried that bleeding means an anovulatory cycle as I had it last cycle around same time but couldn’t catch a static smiley (at least got flashing smileys last time though). Argh it’s all so confusing! I’m glad I’ve got my docs appointment on 21st.

It’s so hard isn’t it logical part of my brain knows there is no point testing early as it doesn’t change anything…but TTC just does something to us all! Lots of us due AF this weekend, surely one of us will get a BFP! Fingers crossed for us all xxx

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing, I'm away with my in laws this week which is a nice distraction. I'm due af this weekend. No symptoms at all that I had before so I don't have hope this month. Though I had a nosebleed yesterday which I never have but that's about it.

BFN again for me 😭 no more testing for me this cycle!

@Louisa89614 @Lizm1990 hi cycle buddies 👋 tested again, BFN so I think I'm out 😞 I had a weird cycle from the get go - creamy EWCM after O and loads of symptoms after O that have now vanished. I don't want to test again but I probably will just because I'm not sure I can wait till AF arrives! Has anyone else been having symptoms?

Oh sorry @Lizm1990 I thought you were approaching ovulation! I'm CD11 and due to ovulate towards the end of this week 🤞🏻 got a banging headache though and hoping it's not Covid!!

No high OPKS yet 😩 hoping to have one tomorrow morning.

Hi @Lizm1990 have been off mumsnet to try and make TWW a bit easier but failing yes we’re exactly the same - 10DPO and due on Saturday after a late ovulation. I tested this morning and thought there was a whisper of a line on an IC (looked just like @bunnykins123) but a FRER was negative. I’m going to try and hold out until Saturday now if AF doesn’t arrive as I feel like I’m out now. No real symptoms apart from cramps and back ache but these are normal for me both when I’ve been pregnant and also before AF! I agree the last few days are the worst by far!

@Blue2020 sorry for your lost I also had a MMC I had an operation but wasn’t nice at all knowing the bean is still there 😔 I was happy when I got my period so I could move on

@bunnykins123 @Louisa89614 @MrsRosaline I think we are all very similar in terms of our cycle and what DPO we are, I’m DPO 10, have any of you had any symptoms and what dpo are you? My app says I would be due on this Saturday and I keep feeling wet well paranoid keep rushing to the loo expecting to start my period but nothing yet. Im trying not to test until after the weekend if AF doesn’t arrive, what about you guys are you going to test? As the TWW nears to an end it’s absolute torture!

I will likely join ttc in a few months time. I’m still pregnant with a mmc at the minute. It stopped at 6w1d and I’m now 9 weeks (I’m sure of the dates regardless of the number of times someone insists I could be earlier). I had a scan with the epau and due to the Easter weekend and a wedding I don’t have the next until 19th. The wait when I know it’s not progressing feels pointless.

I totally agree and I too am impatient. I found it overwhelming when I kept bleeding and having pains a week-10 days when I was trying to exercise after my MC. I think at it's important for someone to remind you what your body has been through and that it takes time to get back to some realm of normal. I'm with you though, the thought of TTC again is draining and overwhelming, I just hope we all get there x

Being patient is so damn hard though! I’m
now 28 days post miscarriage and have started to accept that the tests I’ve been doing over the past few days are actually properly negative. It should be a relief, but I just feel upset that some ridiculous miracle hasn’t occurred and I clearly haven’t ovulated/caught immediately post miscarriage. It’s been under one sodding month but I feel I’m reliving the many months of TTC DDs. I just hope AF rocks up by the weekend. I can’t deal with a long silly cycle now.

@FfayeN thank you, I didn’t have anything like this after I had my son! Was back to normal straight away. Definitely think I need looking at.

@LuckyMoonstone it sounds like you're doing the right thing. I think we know now when something isn't right with our bodies and it's so frustrating to have to fight for it to be checked. I wish you all the best x

I’ve just booked an appointment with my GP for in a couple of week time as something isn’t right. This is the third cycle now I’ve had spotting/bleeding mid cycle, I’m so fed up of it now, and I’m struggling to get any indication of ovulation. I don’t care if they say it’s ‘normal’ after MC, I need some help.

@TheBirdintheCave I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm 3 weeks post D&C, was bleeding until last Friday, and when I did a test then there was still a very faint line. I imagine everyone is different but your body will gradually lower its hormones over the next few weeks. I did feel like I ovulated over the weekend but I don't know if that's possible. I know how you feel, you just want it to be over and to be able to try again. We just need to be patient with our bodies 😘 xx

Any idea when my tests will get lighter? I’m now 7 days post taking the misoprostol for my MMC. I didn’t start properly bleeding until Thursday night but today’s test was still control dark 🤦🏻‍♀️ So fed up with waiting. Thought it would at least be a bit paler by now.

@curliegirlie there's defo a line on that bottom test 🤭
@bunnykins123 I thought something was catching my eye 👁 on your test!! X

That's great @Lizm1990 .. maybe we can be 2WW buddies 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi @bunnykins123 !

@curliegirlie I can definitely see lines on those pictures!

I’m CD27 post miscarriage, but no idea if I ovulated, as I only started doing OPKs at the start of last week, so all I know is I haven’t had positive OPKs from CD19, so am obviously hoping I might have ovulated a bit earlier than that (which makes testing now slightly less barmy!) but who knows. It could be a random and anovulatory cycle this month due to MC hormones.

@bunnykins123 I think I can see your line!

We’ll see… I’m now struggling to see anything on them at all in real life 🤷‍♀️. It doesn’t help that I have no idea if or when ovulation might have occurred this month, so even whether I’m in the right ball park testing now, as when previously TTC my ovulation varied from CD 15 to CD25 (when I conceived Jess!), and that’s even without adding lingering positives from a MC into the mix…

@curliegirlie I've become a woman obsessed 🤪 oh I totally see yours in the bottom one!! Got my fingers crossed for you 🤞 are you still unsure what CD day you are?

@curliegirlie I definitely see the line! More prominent in the bottom test 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

CD16 and day 3 of blank circle! But I just checked my notes for last cycle and I didn’t get a flashy smiley until CD18.
I didn’t get a static smiley last cycle as I ran out of tests after about 5 days of flashing and couldn’t be bothered to get any more and carry on as I was feeling so disheartened.
