TTC After Miscarriage Thread 14 🌈✨💕💙

Good luck everyone! Stopped doing the flashing smiley cb tests as had had nine in a row 😂 think my body is resettling post miscarriage in December. Will probs still do some cheap opks still over the next few days in case ovulation is late in the cycle (CD18 today).

@SMG1992 sorry missed your message, thanks. Good luck catching that egg 🤞🏻

@bringmearainbow I’m going to try and just see if my period comes, but if that fails I’m hoping to at least get to 10dpo 😂

@bringmearainbow @Daniki i’m similar timing wise to you both this month
im hoping for a flashing smiley soon but am going to start DTD as I’m not exactly sure when ovulation will be so want to increase chances
@Bubblesandballoons good luck with your tww, i hope you’re managing to be patient and sending baby dust your way!

Just finished AF so will start trying again now. I tracked my ovulation before my first pregnancy and found out I actually ovulate right after my period rather than around day 14. Haven't tracked this time as find it's a lot of pressure.
Try and DTD every second night and should hit the fertile window 😂

@Bubblesandballoons oooh 🤞🏼 when do you think you'll test?

@bringmearainbow fingers crossed you ovulate sooner. I’m 5dpo, so just waiting around to see what happens next 😂

I Mean I'd actually like to ovulate tonight but I'll take tomorrow too 🤣 Dh is going away on sat

How is everyone doing? I'm hoping to ovulate in a couple of days 🤞🏼 got all the signs just no positive opk yet 🙄 I'm fed up of looking at low sticks 🤣

@HollyGolightly4 mine came back quite soon but then I had two short cycles so not regulated yet and not sure if ovulating as can't seem to get a peak opk..

Last night was a bit of a disaster. Think my husband is feeling stressed by it all and is finding it hard to get in the right space for DTD even though he really wants me to fall pregnant again and hates seeing me disappointed. Has anyone had similar?

Think next cycle I am just going to ditch any ovulation stick chat with him and try to work on just rebuilding intimacy etc. but at the same time I know there is such a limited window to fall pregnant 😬

@HollyGolightly4 Mine was 4 weeks and 2 days but very light compared to my pre MC periods. I know it can take a few cycles to get back to normal which is so frustrating.

@HollyGolightly4 I think mine was about 6 weeks if I remember correctly...I was about 8 weeks when I miscarried so I figured it would have taken a while.

Thanks for the support ladies, it's so lovely to be around people that understand the frustration xx

@Chellooo it certainly is but we all do it it's because you want it so much ❤️

@HollyGolightly4 after my first it took 6 weeks after my second it was 10 weeks. It's frustrating but sometimes it just takes ages 😩

@HollyGolightly4 Exactly five weeks for me.

It certainly is xx

How long after miscarriage did it take for your period to return? Mine's been four weeks and no sign.

@bringmearainbow thank you, its just so easy to get caught up in it all xx

@Chellooo ahhh it's hard lovely but try not to feel too bummed. It doesn't seem like it because it feels like everyone gets a BFP at day 8 but in reality there's such a small percentage of people that get one then. It's totally ok to have a little blurgh moment though xxx

Tested this morning, bfn, I know it's only day 7/8 but somehow convinced myself it would show. Feeling pretty bummed now, given I've caught so easy when I fell 1st time trying last year even thought it ended in mmc 😔

@tulipsunday exactly a loss is still a loss and your mindset completely changes from the positive pregnancy test to what the future will hold so it’s just devastating to lose that. 😫

@SMG1992 haha I’m a divil for testing early! 🫣

@Daniki we can be moral support for each other to not test too early 😅

@Daniki yes I feel that too the second miscarriage has been as hard for me or maybe harder. I wasn't as far along the second time (baby never developed from the sac stage.. though I thought I was seven weeks) and I think in a way perhaps people think then it doesn't matter as much or you won't be as sad. A loss is a loss though.

@SMG1992 we’ll get there yet, we can wait and do tests together next month 😂🤗

Thanks @Daniki kick in the teeth is so right
i know what you mean about hoping it’s just implantation bleeding I did the same!

@SMG1992 I found it really tough after my second Mc, it was harder to get over than the first. It's so difficult thinking of the milestones that should of been and how far along I should be etc.

It does get easier but the first period is such a kick in the teeth after. We started trying again this month and my period came on thurs which was 5 days early. I kept testing anyway hoping it was implantation bleeding 😂 but defo not.

Defo no pressure here to move on, we don't get enough time to grieve these things I find anyway!

Thanks @TheBirdintheCave i appreciate it
I hope your husband is ok, I know mine tries to put on a brave face
