Hi all-
Currently miscarrying first baby- I was 7+2- devastated, angry and so so sad. Have scan booked tomorrow (was booked when I began bleeding 6 days ago, but I've definitely had mc over the weekend so I guess scan will just tell me if there's anything left) I just never I imagined this would happen to me (have, blessedly, led a very naive and charmed life!)

Anyway, I'm getting married at the end of july- Would have been 14 weeks at wedding. I need to focus on getting pg again, I think it's the only way I can move on.

We were incredibly lucky and got pg on first month of trying. Ive read that I'm likely to get next period in 4-6 weeks. Ideally would get pg in wtf cycle. Can anyone else who's been through this totally shit time explain their experiences? When did you next ovulate? Get period? And did you concieve easily afterwards?

Thanks in advance x

So sorry you're going through this. It is crap.

I had a MC in the November, period came back after 5/6 weeks, fell pregnant in February so 3 cycles (including the WTF one). I was obsessed about getting pregnant again so I could feel that I was "working" (even though I already had a DS). I was ovulating earlier in my cycle than normal after the MC, which I didn't realise until the 3rd cycle. As I couldn't pinpoint it, I went for the "try ever other day for ten days" method which worked...!

so sorry you are having to go through this :( It is just so awful. i never thought in a million years it would happen to me either.

I just had my wtf cycle and it was 3 days shorter than I had been having before, AF was just fine and only minimally crampy. In fact it was better than my 'normal' AF (though normal was after breastfeeding so only just started settling down when got pg). Apparently you are more fertile in the first 3 months after a mc... Is no reason not to get pg straight away if that is what you want :)

hope you are ok, look after yourself x

Like you I became pg in the first month of trying and had a mc at just before 6 weeks. Af arrived 4 weeks after mc and then I got pg that month. The result of which was DD and she will be three ov Friday.

Try again as soon as you're ready. Hopefully you will be as lucky as we were. Good luck.

Same here
Hugs.
I'm waiting for cycle too. This is my third mc in my 40s, hope we both get some good news soon but it sounds like you have every chance. I will be using opks (ovulation predictor kits) to keep track but this may be too much pressure for you in your situation. Enjoy preparing for your wedding, it is a special time and if you and your fiancee can support each other enough to be able to celebrate the special while valuing the lost, you will be incredible parents. :-)

Thank you for your kind messages. They made me cry- but I'm crying at anything at the moment. It's good to know I'm not alone and that theres light at the end of the tunnel,
Thank you again- best of luck to you all x
