TTC After Miscarriage Thread 14 🌈✨💕💙

@tulipsunday positive* months!! Stupid phone!

@tulipsunday Ah that’s lovely that we are so close!! Hopefully we both have postpone months too!

My OPKs are very low at the moment, yesterday it disappeared completely and today it was very faint, but I’ve no idea how the MC will affect ovulation and never tested before so wanted to start early! This is day 3 of OPKs now!

Sorry wasn't meant to be @Daniki Like your positive thinking - here's to January babies! Thx @TheBirdintheCave think will look into it. @DHB I am CD7 so we are close. I am also having the same with thinking AF is over and then getting a small bit. Going to be digging out those ovulation sticks soon!

@Daniki Sorry to see AF has arrived, but pleasing to see you’re keeping positive :)

I’m now CD6, AF has finally gone although I keep spotting but seems to be once me and OH have DTD, oops 😂

I’ve started my OPKs now!

AF has started so I'm out! Fresh mindset now going into this cycle so hopefully Il be having a jan baby. Have ordered ovulation tests to see has my ovulation changed now this cycle! X

@tulipsunday I think I did in 2020 when we were going to do IVF back then. The NHS did it.

Hope everyone is well. Has anyone had a progesterone test? Thinking of trying to ask my GP for one but guessing may need to go private. As have had some mid cycle bleeding I just want to rule out I guess any issues there x

@Daniki You're definitely not out yet!

Thanks all 😊 ahh @Daniki you still have a chance will keep everything crossed for you. Happy Easter all x

I think I'm out too, altho I still have 6 days to AF. Tested negative again today.
Honestly kept dreaming last night of taking tests and they were positive 😂🫣

@tulipsunday Aww I'm sorry AF came :(

Sorry to hear @tulipsunday 😞 had my fingers crossed for ya. Hoping it happens for you this next cycle🤞🏻

EWCM yesterday and haven't managed to dtd yesterday or today so I don't think it will be my month either. Sadly no wine in the house though for me tonight 😆

@tulipsunday ah I'm so sorry 😭 that's so shit! Drink all the wine surely 😁 ah sure I have been testing away and BFN but AF due the 14th so we'll see 😂

Thanks lovely sadly AF arrived shortly after 🙈 so that's me out. Drinking all the wine tonight 😂 Sending you lots of positive vibes @Daniki when are you testing?

@tulipsunday when are you due AF? defo not out yet, try not to panic but I know how hard it is not to overthink ❤️ x

Test looks similar to Wednesday - no progression so pretty sure I am out this cycle 😢 waiting now for AF to come now.

@DHB Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately there's no rules when it comes to miscarriage. Some people conceive immediately, some people HCG takes longer to come down, some peoples cycle takes a while to regulate.

I miscarried on 1st November, and although I had a period every month since, it took until February for my cycle to regulate (cycles were much shorter in between). I got pregnant in that first regular cycle but have since miscarried again.

My 3 losses to date have all been different themselves. My HCG dropped rapidly in the first 2 but is taking much longer now to drop.

Perhaps once you've had another period, you could start OPKs to check your ovulation thereafter?

Thank you 💗 I hope all works out for you as well xx

@DHB so sorry for your loss ❤️ it is annoying the waiting around for your body to resettle after. Hard enough dealing with the emotions. Hopefully your cycle will resettle soon. I am trying again after my second miscarriage in December xx

Maybe it’s not meant to be this time around then, and I’m better off waiting for my actual period to come. Although, it’s 4 weeks later now and the bleeding is not increasing, so frustrating!

Thank you for sharing!! That’s amazing you conceived so quickly after :)

Such a horrible time! My bleeding after the miscarriage went from red to brown and the brown lasted a while too! We started TTC as soon as bleeding stopped after first Mc but I got my period and then got pregnant next cycle. The urge I had to get pregnant again after my first miscarriage was overwhelming but I didn't feel it on my second so gave myself a 2 month break, but the urge is back 😂🙈 x

Sorry to hear about both of yours too 💗

I haven’t had a period, no. Just this on and off brown spotting, then the last day or so, I had some very light pink spotting but that’s gone again now, as has the brown.

Its a horrible confusing time isn’t it :(

Sorry to hear that DHB it's tough ☹️ Did you have a period at all prob not? Be hard to tell, if the tests get darker it would be positive but I would think it be residual hcg in your blood, I had miscarriages and 7 & 9 weeks and both took a few weeks to get a negative test x

Hello all, I’m sadly new here.

I had a miscarriage on 5th March at 8 weeks and I bled for roughly 10 days. I have had on and off spotting, mostly brown and mostly when wiping since then.

I have had extremely faint positive HCG tests since the miscarriage. Me and my Partner have been TTO since the miscarriage but now I’m unsure if the HCG is still picking up faint positives, whether I would have even ovulated. Although I did have some sharp right sided cramps around 1 week ago.

Any advice or personal experiences would be welcomed with open arms 💗💙

@TheBirdintheCave my willpower isn't great. I am embarrassed about the amounts of tests I have got through in months where I didn't even know if I was ovulating. Trying to rein it in a bit as hate the disappointment!
