Is anyone else out there in the wait between the end of a miscarriage and their first cycle ? Xx

I’m just entering the tww. Hoping I can keep myself distracted and not obsessing, but unlikely 🙄. Sounds promising @anniehall12. You are very strong to hold out, I totally understand the want to wait and get a divinities answer though rather than wondering if there is a line there or not. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Lillybobs86 · 29/03/2026 22:26

You’re so strong!
I don’t have the strength to wait till Af due 🙈
Hopefully they are good signs, Good signs but the nausea I can imagine is awful :(
sorry to hear about your Mmc :(

im 13 dpo today so I’m defo out 🤦🏽‍♀️
I finally was able to opened a baby bottle of prosecco earlier now that I know I’m allowed it 😬

@anniehall12and @Sparkles512Thank you so much 🙏🏽❤️

i tested this morning and bfn 😢
We did everything right this month timing perfect and as it’s second cycle since loss I thought I’d be extra fertile but bfn. Life is so cruel … But I guess wait for period and on to next month 😞

@Sparkles512 At least it’s arrived now and you can just concentrate on the next cycle 🙏🏽

Morning ladies XX

@Sparkles512 sorry hun! NYD baby would be super cool tho!!!

@Lillybobs86 i always say dont count yourself out until AF arrives...not everyone gets a positive before their period xx

I still haven't tested yet, I dont wanna drive myself crazy so I am literally just waiting for my period in 3 days and if it dont arrive then I will test

However since since yesterday evening I started feeling terribly nauseous, i thought it might have been something i ate during the day...have woke up with that same nausea again...and I have had HG twice so I have that feeling it is HG but maybe my mind is playing tricks and AF will arrive on time!

With my last pregnancy I knew I was pregnant before a test because of HG. Now I am just feeling mixed emotions... i really dont know if i could go thru HG again, especially after having the MMC at 13 weeks. xxx

You're sooo good at resisting the attempt to test.

4 days until AF is due and I feel like she'll be with a vengeance. Xx

AF arrived 😭
I really thought there was a good chance this month.
Next cycle give NYD baby and cycle after would probably give us a due date of our other child 🙈😂

How are you getting on

anniehall12 · 28/03/2026 06:14

Sparkles512 · 26/03/2026 17:40

Yesterday's test was negative

I think I will try to hold out until the Sunday 🤞

Hi ladies can I join?
Also TTC after a loss at 20 weeks :(
10 dpo today and bfn 🤦🏽‍♀️
TTC after a loss is such a mind game I felt my body has been playing tricks on me with pregnancy symptoms but seem very similar to AF 🙈

Also approaching 40 😭

Edited

That's a huge loss. I'm so sorry mummy xx

Did you get a positive yet? Xx

I am so sorry for your loss 😞 sending big hugs 💗

Symptoms are so similar it's really hard to know.

How is everyone doing?

Day 29 of cycle I assume period is due tomorrow but not too sure how long my cycles will be after the miscarriage.

I had some spotting this morning not sure if its the start of my period 😞

Cd 11 for me I think. So ovulation time coming up but unfortunately dp is away for work for a couple of days. Hopefully it won’t be too late when he gets back on Friday. 🤞

anniehall12 · 24/03/2026 07:19

Oh gosh! I'm sorry hugs There is still hope! Don't lose hope just yet!

I'm now 6dpo and got a BFN, not even sure why I tested but thought it's better to do it so I can shut my mind up! For now, eh anyway x

I think I am stressing more because next cycle would be a NYD baby which isn't the most practical due date 🙈😂

Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞

anniehall12 · 24/03/2026 07:19

Sparkles512 · 23/03/2026 16:30

Sorry to hear you are feeling miserable 😞
Keeping everything crossed for a positive 🤞

I tested this morning. I think I'm around 10dpo and negative 😞

Feeling very deflated and irritable 😂

Hey!

I'm only 4 dpo.. it's going to be so hard to resist the urge to test and symptom spot. It will be a long two weeks!

I must confess, after my ovulation peak I'm a miserable cow! Hormones are a powerful thing

Xx

TTC number one for us over here. I’m 40 this year though so a bit anxious if it’s going to be too late. Although in the 6 months we’ve been trying we had one chemical a one mmc so at least conception is not impossible for us.

I must say it’s really nice to not be in the month post ttc and not in the tww right now. It’s a bit of a mental break from having it constantly on my mind.

it’s so frustrating that the miscarriage really puts you back a good few months. Such a long process to just end up back where you started.

anniehall12 · 18/03/2026 12:57

Sparkles512 · 17/03/2026 21:07

How are you getting on?

I feel so deflated and I think I have accepted that we probably won't have another baby 😭

I feel like I'm torturing myself obsessing about getting pregnant and just need to focus on the 2 children we have 🤍

I also have 2 already, when I found out we were expecting no 3 I was sooo excited it just felt so right even tho we didn't plan it. Now we experienced a MMC we have decided to try properly. And I am a bit worried also if it won't happen again.

Strangely I have a very strong positive LH test even tho I had a positive one about 7 days ago. I only tested because of strong ovulation symptoms again and I was right. I didn't even know that is possible 😭😭 xx

@ttcnumerodosooft that is a really shit day. I’m really sorry. That would have sent me sideways as well. Good that you got the progesterone lined up. have you had many losses?

@Sparkles512fingers cross for this cycle.

its such a hard journey isn’t in. I’m so up and down about it day to day. Some days I’m totally fine with where I am and others deflated or overwhelmed.

urgh 😔

Hey! I still had a super faint line on Friday but af finally arrived yesterday. It’s quite a relief to be back in a normal cycle. 4.5 weeks since the miscarriage but it’s seems like such a long time of limbo.

Thats interesting that you ovulated so early! Do you think you managed to dtd around the right time? 🤞seems like you managed to fast forward a week 😂. I don’t do any LH or bbt tracking just go off ewcm and roughly half way through my cycle. But if it doesn’t work this cycle again then I’ll think about taking one of those up.

@cobalt123 Oh bless you that sounds really hard emotionally. I hope you are doing okay and being kind to yourself x

Yeah really interested that I ovulated that early, but then when i googled the reasons why I started getting scared so I stopped!

We've done the deed quite a bit before and during my peak, but I just got a gut feeling it wont result in pregnancy as i feel my body is still a hormonal mess from the miscarriage xx

Have you tested since your last post? Are you still getting faint positives?

As for me, a massive surprise but I ovulated super early, I got my peak 6 days after my period ended?? im so worried now!!! xxx

Hey @ttcnumerodos im so sorry for your loss and your experience with an insensitive doctor! you poor thing xx Please if u dont mind me asking, was this for your first loss? In regards to the progesterone...as I have heard they only give it after a few losses...but i think they should give it after 1 xx

@Sparkles512 How are you getting on? xx
