Anyone TTC after a recent early loss and wanting support? (Aug 26)

Hi, I thought I’d start a separate thread for anyone who is TTC after a recent early loss, so we can support each other through what can be a really difficult time. 💕

I’m 39 and TTC for my first. I conceived after around four cycles, but sadly had a missed miscarriage mid-July at around 9 weeks, (development had stopped at 6).

I stopped bleeding last Sunday and have started noticing some cervical mucus returning over the past few days, so I’m hoping my body is beginning to get back into its normal rhythm.

I’m still testing positive on pregnancy tests, so can’t use LH strips to track ovulation yet, so for now, my plan is to get back to some exercise, eating well and have sex every 2-3 days. I’m feeling positive and hopeful but also trying to take my mind off the waiting!

If anyone else is going through something similar and would like to share the journey and support each other x

@fluffycauliflowers sounds like you are covering well! Yes, also it will happen if you relax? How do you relax about it?! 😂

@Posypear I think you’re still in! I can understand feeling so upset at seeing the negative though.

We had our gp appointment this evening and have been referred, which can take 3 months to come through. They will take bloods locally end of this month though when I’ll be day 25 to check what they can, including hoping to catch the progesterone surge. Feel better that we have this in progress if nothing happens over the next few months!

Thanks girls - I have honestly LOST it this month!?!
@fluffycauliflowers yes hate it when people say that- clearly you can see I'm not relaxed- ha ha. Also literally everyone asks me if we'd like another baby at any opportunity - so frustrating!
@Springcloud26 glad to hear your appointment went well. Do you know what tests they are running on your bloods?

@Posypear they are checking things like thyroid, folate, vit d, iron and progesterone. They did say the specific ovulation fertility ones will need to wait until the referral. I think just seeing if there’s anything they can catch earlier that we can fix.
