TWW after miscarriage

Hi everyone,

Thought I’d start a thread here for anyone in a similar place.

I found out back in April that I was having a missed miscarriage (MMC). Basically nothing grew after about 5 weeks and we found out at about 6.5 weeks. It was gutting. I opted to go down the surgical route (totally happy to answer questions if anyone had any). That was on April 17th.

We had sort of intended to wait until after my first period to try again just to make dating easier if I caught. I was away for work last week and just kind of assumed I ovulated then as that would have been during the 2 weeks after the surgery.

BUT yesterday I had a bunch of EWCM and we also DTD with no pressure as we weren’t really ‘trying’. Lo and behold I’ve had a peak OPK reading today so looks like I’ll ovulate tomorrow. Didn’t expect that and thought maybe my EWCM was just messed up timing cause my cycle is weird after the MC.

I’m not sure how to feel! When we tried before the MC I fell pregnant the first time and we were so shocked and pleased. So this time I’m thinking like, are we lucky enough for that to happen again? Probably not, but it would be amazing.

I’m also worried that if I do fall again it’ll be a huge faff with dating and that we’ll get a row 😂 or be perpetually worried if timings are behind etc. That’s why I took an OPK today as I wasn’t intending to track this month to give myself a break.

Anyone else in a similar position? Or trying again after an MC? 💜

Hello, may I join your thread? I'm 2dpo today and 3rd cycle TTC since my most recent loss before Xmas. I've had 4 losses and 5 chemicals losses, one of which was a MMC at 12 week scan finding out baby had stopped growing around 9 weeks, MMC hits harder and differently. I saw a heartbeat with 2 of my losses before they stopped growing, the other 2 were 6 weeks losses. I'm so scared to have a 10th loss and get into those double figures, pregnancy and TTC after loss is so bloody hard.
So sorry to hear about your loss, it is such an awful thing to go through xx

Hello there, firstly, so sorry for your loss. We are in a horrible club. I had an MMC in the Autumn, 12 week scan, measured 6 weeks. It was my first pregnancy and it was a first try pregnancy.
I have been trying to conceive again ever since but no success so far. I am hopeful it will happen eventually.
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about dating. It will sort itself out eventually and you will know roughly when you ovulated so you will have a decent idea where you are in the pregnancy. Different thing if you fell pregnant and had no clue when you ovulated.
Good luck and I hope you do get your BFP x
