TTC ? Waiting for first cycle after miscarriage

That’s a good suggestion @ChasingRainbow5
My cousin had some counselling sessions after her miscarriage as she was finding the emotional side of processing very tough to move on with. She also took some time off work with a phased return.

@Sparkles512 tbh I think there is no normal, it's a shitty unfair situation and however you process it is completely reasonable. Have you looked into any support or counselling? Not that I think you have to, but it could be good to try.

I stopped bleeding yesterday, we haven't actually discussed trying again yet but I'm going to start ovulation sticks today. Ordered some more HCG tests too so I can check it's completely negative.

It's all just really crap, isn't it?

I used the ovulation sticks this month. And I’ve been bbt tracking as well, so throwing everything at it 😂. I was away for work Friday till Tuesday evening but think I caught the LH peak on Tuesday morning. So we might be lucky still but it wasn’t great timing to be away.

sorry you’ve still been so tearful @Sparkles512 I do think there is quite a big impact after miscarriage for a long while. My discharge has been slightly strange ever since (sorry tmi)

Hi how is everyone getting on?

I'm still crying everyday after my miscarriage in January 😭💔 is this normal?

AF is due to arrive this weekend and definitely don't feel pregnant this morning. I've resisted testing so far see if it lasts 😂

I am thinking of doing ovulation sticks next month? Rather than just guessing from the period tracker app.

Hope everyone is okay 💗

Hi, I miscarried last week at 6.5 weeks. My physical symptoms have pretty much ended (I think/hope) and I'm planning to start testing for ovulation as I don't really want to wait for my period. I'm 41 and really panicking about time not being on my side. I have a beautiful son but desperately want him to have a sibling.

Sorry that there are so many of us in the same boat, but it is comforting to read others' thoughts and experiences x

Hello! Can I join? I miscarried last week at 7w (first pregnancy) bleeding has started to ease up and we’re keen to try and give things another go but I’ve lost all the excitement I had the first time around- I know TTC is what I want but now it just feels anxiety inducing and so much pressure if that makes sense!

I’m on cd6 now. Planning to give all the tracking a go this cycle. Does anyone have any tips on the best time of day to LH test? The ones I have say best between 10am and 8pm and since I’m out at work I guess it’s best to do in the evening when I get back? What do others find convenient?

welcome @theotherfossilsisterand sorry to hear you’ve joined the mc club. Hope all goes smoothly for your d&c.

Hi feeling very emotional and stressed
Only 4 dpo. I am trying to hold out until AF before testing because I am just using so many tests and driving myself crazy

Hey, please can I join? I am booked in for a d and c on Monday, age forty and lucky enough to have the most beautiful three year old in the world but keen to give him a sibling xx

12 dpo now for me and BFN. Feeling so tired of it. So much for all you hear about being particularly fertile after a miscarriage 🙄

My predictions are pretty much the same as yours. Says I will ovulate on 12th.
I think we are just going to dtd every other day and hope for the best.
I might order some ovulation tests and give them a try.

Yesterday we did nothing and now I’m panicking 🤦🏽‍♀️
Not sure if should tonight or leave till tomorrow and then every day till day after ovulation..
What days would you dtd according to below ovulation day?! Help it gets so stressful planning as don’t want to mess it up 😩😩

@Sparkles512i know it’s exhausting I also feel very drained.

Also having the same issues. We are dtd every other day and it was my second cycle but still not pregnant.
I am also thinking we need to carry on after ovulation but we just don't always have the time or energy 😴
I feel mentally and physically drained at the moment 😞
I am trying to stay positive but finding things very hard.

Yes good idea 😬 .. it gets so exhausting though doesnt it 🤪🤣🙈

Potentially 9dpo this morning and did a clear blue digital. Negative 🙄.

I haven’t heard of too often really being a thing. Maybe good to keep going a bit after you ovulate incase you’re actually ovulating later than you think?

Ovulation week already - Has come round very quick.
Last month was second cycle since my loss and I was absolutely certain I would be pregnant as we did everything right and had all the symptoms 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
I am interested in other views on when to dtd.
Last month we did every other day once period had finished plus day before and on ovulation day but I’m worried it was too often 🫣
Interested in what others would do with attached please 🙏🏽🙏🏽

@cobalt123i usually start testing around then too 😬
I find it’s the only way to get through the tww!

Hey hey. Sorry to hear about all the afs arriving. I’m on cd 20 now. I’m not too sure when I ovulated as I don’t track so I don’t know if it’s regular post mmc. I should probably really start tracking at this point. I was feeling quite pregnant a couple of days ago which would have been way to early so really I guess it’s just progesterone. I started testing already though, very silly I know. Honestly I must waste a fortune on pregnancy tests! 🙄

Yes AF arrived and was short only lasted 5 days. Feeling very deflated as I thought it might be our month. Never mind on to the next try!

How is everyone doing?

Yes update is I got on period Monday!!!
Is extremely heavy 😰
I checked this and my bereavement midwife said it’s completely normal as only second period since I lost my daughter so it’s quite nomal to be heavy and painful 😩
Panicking a bit now though and really hoping for luck this next try 🤞🙏🏽🙏🏽

Definite not divinities 🙄😂
