First Cycle TTC after MMC

Hello ladies, I've just started my first cycle since having a MMC with surgical management in May. That was my second pregnancy and second miscarriage, first being in September 2023.

Going to start TTC again but with a much more relaxed approach (try to anyway!). Looking for anyone to share the journey with?

Baby dust to all xxx

Hi ladies, I hope you don’t mind me joining your thread. Firstly I’m so sorry you’ve both been through losses and sending love💐

I too have had 2 miscarriages, both MMCs. First was April 2023 and second February 2024. I had surgery the second time and my period arrived exactly 4 weeks to the day of surgery so didn’t seem to alter my cycle too much so hope it doesn’t for you either @Herewegoagain0 We started trying again after that period so I’m now in the middle of my fourth cycle, estimated 5dpo

I am also trying not to track but I’ll be honest that isn’t going exactly to plan 🙈 after using OPKs for 6months last year it made DTD very regimented and unenjoyable for both of us in the end. The month I ditched the strips and just went with the flow we conceived again

I’ve just been trying to pay attention to my CM and cervix position and just doing it as and when. We actually seem to DTD more which has only got to be a good thing!
This month I have started tracking my BBT. I was only planning on paying attention to if my temp drops before my period is due instead of taking loads of tests and convincing myself there is a line when there isn’t. But have fallen a little down a bit of a rabbit hole estimating when my ovulation was due after noting a significant drop in temperature around about when I thought ovulation was going to happen

I hope you don’t mind me joining in the journey as I’m a little further along in my cycles. I’ve just found the whole process of TTC and MMCs really quite lonely at times

Sending lots of baby dust✨

Hi - would like to join! I also had a MMC in May (MVA on 20th May). My tests are just about negative now so will be trying again once my period comes back (which will
hopefully be soon)! Just hoping it hasn’t messed with my cycle too much as was so regular before. Fingers crossed for us both! Xx
