TTC After Miscarriage Thread 14 🌈✨💕💙

Welcome to all the newbies, sorry to read about your losses.
@MrsJGrealish it does drain on you I’m with you on that. Af arrived today bang on cue, so time to reorder more tablets 😩😂. Never ending money pit these conception pills 🤣

@tulipsunday 1dpo here so nothing interesting to report, just the boring bit of the wait now.

@Joonbug23 you've given yourself every possible chance so 🤞🏼🤞🏼 the tww really plays with your mind doesn't it 🙄 even though I'm certain we are probs out already it doesn't stop me thinking about that minuscule percentage of swimmers that might have survived 🙈 will you wait or test early do you think?

@tulipsunday ahhh yes it's hard isn't it when your not quite sure I had 2 back to back mc and my cycles have just been all over the show. Well I hope that tomorrows test shows 2 lines for you

@SMG1992 I gave up with CB tests it got way too expensive I tried them for 2/3 cycles and I would get 9 days of flashing smileys it did my head in

@tulipsunday Haha fair enough I thought you had some kind of super will power, so it's good to know we all can't resist testing!
Also really good to know that you got pregnant without peaking before, I've read the LH surge can be for a really short amount of time, I'm just going to keep testing until the flashy face is gone - costs an absolute fortune!

@SMG1992 ha I didn't test today but I have got through a fair amount of tests earlier in the week 😂 I didn't get a peak this cycle so may not have even ovulated so shouldn't be getting hopeful. I did get pregnant one time without getting a peak so 🤞 we have a chance even if we didn't/don't get one! How you doing @TheBirdintheCave

@tulipsunday Fingers crossed for you & well done waiting so long before POAS!

Thanks all for the well wishes of peak around the corner, I'm really starting to worry I might not even ovulate this month which is just another hurdle in this journey. I want to try and stay positive as more stress is not going to help!

@tulipsunday That's exciting! Fingers crossed for you :D

Haven't tested today will test tomorrow if still no AF but wouldn't be surprised if it came today.

@bringmearainbow I don't really know what my normal is really as I had a miscarriage in August then fell pregnant again in November whilst my cycle was still short and then lost that pregnancy in December so no time really to regulate.

When is your partner back @bringmearainbow hope the 2ww goes quickly for you

@tulipsunday oooh that's a crappy predicament 🙈 have you tested this morning? How long are your cycles normally?

@bringmearainbow thank you! Oh amazing, hopefully we can keep each other updated and both receive some positive news!
We’ve managed to dtd for the 4 days leading up to and including o day. Really keeping everything crossed for a rainbow!
Trying to keep active and remain in a positive mindset for this tww!🤞🏼

@SMG1992 hopefully your peak is round the corner! Welcome @Joonbug23 sorry for your loss 🤞for this cycle.

So I am now one day 'late' which is of course making me hopeful. But I am still only on cycle day 25 as last cycle was really short. Just want to know either way now so I can either celebrate or move on and stop obsessing this cycle!

@Joonbug23 sorry for your loss and welcome. Good luck for O we have similar dates I'm 2/3 dpo today but DH went away before O so I highly highly doubt we will be successful this cycle. Have you managed to dtd much in the lead up?

@SMG1992 Thank you! Good luck with getting your peak and fingers crossed you you too! Keep us updated 🫶🏼

Hi @Joonbug23, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Good luck with your ovulation, I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Hi everyone
so nice to read all your messages - helps so much not to feel lonely and isolated when ttc after a loss.
I had a mmc in November followed by a D&C in December for my pregnancy. Was a really tough process finding out at my 12 week scan that the baby had no heartbeat.

we are currently in our first month ttc (it took 8 weeks for my period to return after mc and I wanted some certainty of dates). Ovulation day today for me so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@Cheetocat im in a similar boat although not so many cycles in
im on cd 16 with no peak yet and day 6 of flashing smileys! Been dtd since cd 8 just in case! I really hope i ovulate this month. I’ve not had an issue with that before so I’m just hoping my cycles are going back to being a bit longer as pre mc they were atleast 35 days but my last one was bang on 28!

DTD around ovulation does become a bit clinical, I’m hoping as it’s the weekend now it will feel a bit more relaxed.

@Cheetocat I have the same with my husband. Decided next cycle that I am not going to have any chat with him about opks etc as puts pressure on/kills the mood. My husband does have a v physical job though which makes it hard as sometimes he is just understandably shattered.

Hi all, I'm in my 9th cycle since my loss with proper trying during about 6 of those cycles. It drives me crazy that there was no trying involved the first time and we had just started thinking seriously about having a baby and I fell after only DTD once in my fertile window. Ovulation tests are driving me crazy, I don't peak most of the time. I peaked this month and before that my only previous peak was in July. My fiancé is getting really stressed and it's giving him performance anxiety on the days we are supposed to try too so it's an ordeal before we successfully DTD each time too. I am 3DPO now, just hoping this month is it.

@Bubblesandballoons I'm not at all tempted. Honestly feel like it's been a long 2 years 😩 of chemicals, miscarriages and covid. Nooo you don't want it😂 but I see your point.. good to have a reason xx

@MrsJGrealish is it bad I hope I have it now, as otherwise they’ve held of doing anything else for the last 6 months for nothing 😂. Ahh noo, fingers crossed this is the one for you 🤞🏻I remember you said a while ago you set yourself a timeline, you not tempted to try a few more cycles? Dp had his sperm results back and he’s all good, so I think my eggs are duds too xx

@Bubblesandballoons yea I'm ok. Just coming into TWW. But you know when you know it's not your cycle? but we'll see. That year wait is not on, I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for a clotting test 🥲 APS isn't a joke, pregnant or not. This is my last ttc cycle though I think my eggs are duds. Poor little guys. Xx

@TrulyMiss so sorry, look after yourself 💛.
@MrsJGrealish hey how are you getting on? I can’t get them done till Monday, but decided will chase them up after 2 weeks and weekly after that 😂. This month is a year since my referral after my first 3 and I’m no further along 😩. Just waiting on my period now. Had a negative test yesterday at 11dpo so expect af to come today or tomorrow as normal.
@buckingmad i tried straight away every time

@TrulyMiss all the best to you. Preserving mental health is so important ❤️

So I'm out and I haven't even ovulated yet 🙈 I'm on fertility drugs and my scan showed two eggs ready to go. Don't want to risk twins (or triplets if one splits, know someone this happened to) so I've done the drugs and felt like shit for 2 weeks for nothing. Defo thinking we're going to take a break now for a while for my mental health. Best of luck to you all on your journey and I hope it's less twisty and turny than mine!!! xx
