Very nervous to TTC after a miscarriage but am going for it

Really positive day today (after the disaster that was yesterday) so thought I would be really brave and make the move across.

2 wks past op so I've no idea where I could possibly be with my cycle (was 42 days before so praying its shorter now!). Going along with everyone else & TTC immediately rather than wait for AF (thanks for your story Pollybee it really re-assures me that I'm doing the right thing).

I'm even going to ask a TTC question so I feel like I really belong..... Has anyone else tried the saliva microscope thingy to monitor ov. Does it work? Thought it would be easier than temp etc but no sign of any ferning yet! In fact no sign of anything much yet!

welcome alterego - jeeez, poor you - and best of luck this time. we are all rooting for you.

dramaqueen - thanks for brilliant links (which i too cant get into!! but will try again tomorrow)

mishi !!

and a big hi to everyone else! i'm in that nightmare 2 week waiting for AF limbo land again. tumty tum tum........

women24 site has got a box on at the moment saying they've got technical problems so that may be why you had trouble Bella.

Anyway, my reason for coming here - I haven't been around for a while - busy getting on with life and trying not to think about 2 previous mcs at 10 weeks (Nov 2003 and Oct 2004) and 2 mcs at 5 weeks (April & May 2004). The good news is I am now pg again, currently 6 weeks so early days yet. Am booked in to see the GP next week for immediate referral to EPDU at hospital. Will know more then whether this pg is viable. Not counting any chickens (very appropriate saying in this case) but pleased to be pg again.

hmm, weird. i think i typed in 'length of cycle afer D&C' on google, it was then about the second one down. try it that way!
maybe its the site rather than you?

ooooh yes! a real quick success story, thankyou SO MUCH. did you get much grief from the drs who thought you should wait Polly? 3 wks after op? wow, impressive stuff
good sites huh ladies? funny some of the 'dim' things people ask, but v informative stuff also, esp about the 20% chance each cycle, and some/most people NOT ovulating straight after ERPC so hence why most people DONt do as pollybee did! gives me something positive to go on to next month with. dh being fab today, raving about a dec baby, as he knows i'm expecting af anyday now, so its v v unlikely this month i'm getting my bfp. bless him.
hope alls well in your worlds

Just a word of encouragement to you all.

I had a 'missed mc' found at 13 week scan, and ERPC, when I was 32 as well. I ignored the advice to wait for 3 months, and never had AF - the sixmonth old ds I am now jiggling on knee was conceived 3 weeks after ERPC, and is perfectly fine!

Fingers crossed for everyone!

pmsl im not buying any..yet..its just that cpn said thats what she used and got caught with....so got me thinking of maybe if it gets to may june i might have a look at whats on offer...lol
just going to look at the sites DQ

as a bored ttc-er who cant sleep, i found this site, and thought of you guys too.
this link
its fab q&a site, and BOY are some of the people out there DUMB! some good facts about ttc after m/c, and things like that. obviously if youre not as bored as me, well never mind!

LOL smiley faces??? lordy, mishi!! sounds funny altho....save some money and buy the tiny opk test sticks from ebay lady!!!! glad youre joing the ranks of 'not really obsessed, honest'....
rom- O is a fairly good size gap. have you been to the online ovulation calendar www.conceptionstore.com ? cause there you can see which days are good (and even for which gender) and i'm sure you'll find that you were in the 'hot spot'! i love that calendar. you enter in your details -af date, luteal phase (if you know it, helps you work it out if you want to know it.....)
I need bloody af tho to start it this time round. helped me with dd2 tho!! you can print it out and everything....
ANYHOW point of post, aside from chuckling at smiley faces on opks, was to say, dont despair! i'm sure you did all you could at the right times!!!!

hey mishi - thought you said OPKS were too obsessive for you? have we successfully converted you into a fully-fledged ttc nutter?!!!!

yup - its Clearblue digital

hi all
bonkerz welcome
yingers i am thinking about yogalates but then i need something slow as its over 2 yrs since ive exercised and even then it wasnt much as i got pg with ds..lol

hope u have all had a good day
take care
mishi p.s does anyone know which ov kits it is that u get smiley faces with?

yes welcome to the nervous but positive club bonkerz

glad i didnt get the yogalates yingers now you say its crap!

so did everyone have a romantic time yesterday??!! my d/h is on a work trip which is why i was one of the few saddos hanging out on mumsnet last nite (heehee).

technical question here for anyone who might be able to help - is it quite normal to get two 0 days on persona? i had a OPK+ on first day which matched persona - but didnt bother doing OPK next day - when persona came up with 0 again. kind of annoying me now because it makes a big difference in terms of when i bd'd and i really can't be sure which day was 0 day. oh jesus, listen to me... i should just wait two weeks and see - ugh.

hey hello over here, bonkerz. that O just might have already happened.....and spending some time 'not trying but not NOT tyring' is prob the best way to start
positive stories are very nice to hear, hopefully all such stories will have our name in it soon.

welcome bonkerz!

OK want to take a positive step after mc so here i am. Although DH and i are not going to be deliberately ttc we are not taking precautions so if it happens great, if not then fine.

Not had af yet after erpc so not sure if ovulated etc.... May take weeks before af appears but will join you girls anyway!

Bella - let me know about davina, i gave up on my yogalates dvd, it was just too slow and boring, so have got a yoga dvd which I used to have on video, which is pretty good and the woman on it comes across as pretty supportive! Just need to keep up with it.

yes i like to hear positive stories too, hopefully it will not be too long before we can have our own positive stories.

HI all

well some semi good news...my CPN is pg only 8wks butits good as she had a missed mc in nov so has caught on in second month...she was using opks and got green light in dec so now due in sept..bless her..good news as it gives hope..lol I have just told dh who said its great cos it means we should be pg by june deffo..silly i know but i want to be pg for when pip would have been due
Not much else happening here...so far have bd every day although should be ov around the weekend so have been getting in practice..u never know
Hope ur all having good day and for those on hols soooooooooooo jealous

bella, much giggling here over you dh putting dates in palm......just picturing its alarm ringing and him dashing home sorry....just made me smile....
sounds like youre really positive right now, congrats i'm not that yet, feeling abit 'fat' fed up and so very much pre AF. still if shes hanging about then the sooner i can get her and feel like you but inanser to your questioin yes, am testing 20th if no af. then again the following week etc etc, if af stays away. have no idea what i'll do if i AM pg. suspect may have to wrestle with several medical types who dislike having no af to date it by. ah well!! means plenty of scans, which in turn means plenty or reassurance doesnt it?. anyhow most unlikey, took me three cycles last time, suspect similar time scale this time.
well off to walk doggy long way today, as have to wear out three kids as well as dog this time....
have a good day ladies
p.s. Girl -hope alls well at your mothers, we miss you.

Oh and happy valentines, me and dh are going to celebrate it on friday while dd is at nursery, she doesn't like it if we cuddle and kiss and not include her!
