TTC after recent MC

[posypoo]

Here we go everyone - a place for the recent MCers to chat and share all our NOT waiting stories!

Poor you munchin re cuddling baby. I know how hard that would have been with all the memories it would have stirred.

Hi all. Sorry can't keep up with you talkative lot today!
Kitty have everything crossed for you that it was old spots of blood. I'm sure I would have freaked the same but if there has been no more then thats a good thing. So very of your Egypt trip. Had a fab holiday there.
Nom Nom Nom at all this talk of yummy treats on here. although I don't need any pies at the moment am feeling you all with the extra bit of weight round the middle. Someone asked me if I was pregnant today as I'm slim with a bit of a bulge fairly bloated as expecting AF and first since MV. Had to say that I had been and lost the baby last month :(

Thank you baby, after examining it from every way possible I think it was an old mark, looked faint and washed out not fresh but it has left me abit twitchy
How insensitive of someone to ask you that!! It must have been hard for you
< hands over comfort chocolate to share>

Hi girls,

Just got a question. It's going to be a bit TMI so sorry in advance...I'm on CD18 and had on CD16. For last 24 hours I have had an unbelievable amount of EWCM!! It's literally dripping out when I pee. I've never had that before. Is it normal??? I'm away tonight so can't DTD. Do u think we've missed it if we DTD CD15 and CD17?? Going to do tomor too.

Glad I'm not the only one over indulging in the cake and biscuits at mo! I'm definitely a stress eater but hasn't subsided yet ! Happy Thus!

Almond it is normal and a very good sign, it means itl protect speem for longer, some months I've had loads not always though
I think you've dtd just right, eod is recommended anyway, that's what I did this month, defo do tomorrow aswell as I think ov occurs just as EWCM dries up

Hello everyone, WOOP it's Friday! (Although don't know what I'm wooping for, have to work tomorrow!)

So have picked myself up after going to the doctors yesterday and being told there's no magic cure for lazy AF. Was thinking it was on its way last night as (TMI alert if you're eating breakfast) pink/brownish CM last night, but back to being nothing this morning, but just maybe it's about to arrive! Back to feeling a bit hopeful rather than wallowing in a black pit of despair and convincing myself that my ovaries have shrivelled!

almond sounds like a good sign, although I am far from being EWCM expert since I don't appear to produce it! Sperm hang round for a good few days so you should be fine, dtd today as well for luck and fingers crossed!

munchin haha just for you, a potted history of chegs: pregnant is shortened to preggers, Keith Chegwin is shortened to Cheggers, so cheggers is rhyming slang for preggers and lazy folk like me can't cope with the effort of 2-syllable words so it's chegs for short! Phew..
It's lovely that you can have cuddles without getting too down about it. I work with babies and pregnant women and am fine at work, but got to go and see my friend who is due in two weeks on Sunday and much though I love her and am delighted for her to be honest I'm dreading it sometimes it's hard to keep the smile plastered on!

baby that's rubbish. Bet they felt awful for asking though!

kitty glad it seems to have been a false alarm. Egypt sounds like bliss...

woody how did the appointment go? I'm not so into the homeopathy side of things but totally fascinated by the acupuncture!

Happy Friday everyone!

Peanut my WTF cycle was 44 days long so can sympathise! Mine felt like it was arriving for about a week! I was going to try acupuncture as I heard a lot on MN that it really helps. Something to consider?

Well after testing last night with IC and not so much of a hint of a line I got a BFP 1-2 weeks today on Clear Blue Digital! Lots of mixed emotions as I havn't had an AF since MC and am so worried something will go wrong again. Very very nervous right now. Felt very sick earlier but DH has a tummy bug. I have taken the day off work today to rest and hope that I don't end up with the full blown bug! Maybe the woman at work knew something I didn't!

Hooray!! Congratulations baby so chuffed for you! (And slightly jealous haha!) Totally normal to be nervous, sure if it happened to me I'd be bricking it, but have spoken to doc about this and been told in no uncertain terms there is no increased risk of anything just because conceived before first AF. FX this is your sticky bean, try and enjoy it , hope you're not feeling too rotten xxxx

Wowzers Baby thats fantastic new, congrats to you!!! How many dpo are you now? for all us symptom spotters

Peanut thanks for the chegs info, try not to stress about wtf cycle and your ovaries are not shrivelled lol says she who constantly thinks that of her own ovaries , my first one after mc was 103 days and it was only after I went on hols and completely forgot about af, ttc etc that it came back.

Almond your ewcm sounds extremely fertile and you seem to dtd at right times. FX for you.

Kitty glad it was an old stain.

Thanks for the hugs littlepink. It wasn't as bad as seeing the baby after it was born. It was too soon and too raw that time. But yest I was fine.

OMG baby that's amazing news - whoop whoop!

xx

Almond your ewcm and dtd days sounds very promising to me. I am also sticking to eod (during shag week, the rest of the time it's eofortnight) now, whatever my ewcm is doing, as I think I drive myself a bit bonkers otherwise, so your strategy sounds a good one from where I am sitting.

babyjames that's brilliant news! Congratulations. I really hope this one goes well for you.
Peanut thanks for the chegs info - should have worked that one out as my first bump was referred to as "Keith" throughout.
Finally got my negative pregnancy test today so signed off by the GP. Now just waiting until AF decides to appear... not entirely sure what a WTF cycle is but can probably hazard a guess!
Managed a little chat and coo over 2 new babies brought into work by colleagues today - both appeared in the week after my MC.

That's great munchin but still take care with yourself.

Fantastic news baby! Soooo jealous!! Did you use opk's? I'm obsessed now as no smiley yet on day 15 so need info and tips from BFP ladies!

almond -also jealous of amount of Dtd your up to! With dps problems if we do it once this weekend I will be a lucky girl?

baby I know several people who have conceived straight away aftermc and had lovely healthy babies but feel free to share your worrying with us x

Baby congrats I'm so pleased for you, I didn't have an af imbetween either so we can hold hands together, which day are you now?

Thanks for all your kind words everyone. I am so pleased but so emotional and worried at the same time. I did use OPK's (Clear blue digital) both times I have caught. This cycle was really long post MC and ovulated really late so used loads of sticks. Am 12 days passed ovulation I think guess and about 43 day cycle since MC. Had cramps for about a week, sore boobies and tmi creamy cm on and off. Pretty similar to AF symptoms!

kitty I def need some had holding.

Did someone on this thread mention foods to avoid with a particular thing in when TTC and pregnant?

Baby congrats, that is such great news!!

Littlepink I used OPKs post-mc and didn't get a smiley til CD21, and now have a BFP, so hang in there it'll happen. I also

Sorry I have been a bit MIA from Thread - I've missed a lot in the last week! I'm 4+4 today and just so extremely nervous. Had a bit of brown spotting a few days back, but now nothing. Am so scared but just trying to take one day at a time. Good luck to us all!

Pink I used opk 2 and in both my cycles after mc had to wait till cd23 for 1 and cd 27 for another!
Mrs good to hear from you
Baby I'm here for hand holding, still in abit of limbo land for me I'm afraid, after yesterday thinking brown mark was old today their Is definatly the tiniest bit of a brown mark , I'm talking would fit under less then half a 5p but still don't know what to think, it's not like the last 2 times ( yet anyway) infact I wonder if a normal pg lady would notice it but for me I just feel like oh god not again please not again!! On a positive side I took another digi this morning after yesterday and it had gone up to 3+ so 5 weeks when I actually thought itd still be 2-3 wks, it never got to 3 last time and I have got a scan with the epu but not till a week on Tuesday which seems an age away but atleast it's before I go away so will know one way or another, I'm still trying to feel positive i dont have the same bad feeling i had all the way through last time but scared that I'm tempting fate even trying to be positive! I'm so desperate not to loose another baby ahh this whole buisness is just so stressful

Congrats baby :) xxx

Ok - having a weird cycle. Usually have a 28 day cycle and last month got my bfp on day 21 so must have ovulated about day 14... Never usually get positive son opk because I have a v short surge. Last night, day 17, got a positive on opk and this morning it was still positive - v v v strange. Def not pg as pg test were negative and now opk also negative. Do I assume this was a real positive and did for the next few days, or do I assume just strange body stuff going on and ov on day 14 like usual?

Thanks ladies. Will hang on in there with opk's x

baby just to question you even further so you have no privacy at all, but when did you Dtd with regard to getting your smiley? I reckon those who have got BFPs are the best to get advice from. Sorry if this seems like stalking to you. I'm not really. just desperate

You too kitty and mrs, when did you Dtd in relation to getting your smiley. I ask because my poor DP has erectile problems and needs to pop a little tablet ... But the added pressure of Dtd ttc will only pressure him further so if I only asked him for the best time, when would that be according to you 3 ladies who were using them and got your BFPs.

Many many thanks [ thanks] x

Pink I dtd the day before smile and the day after, I did do it before those times to but in relation to when I'm pretty sure I ovd it was the day before and the one after, I think the one before is usually classed as a very good one, we stoped the day after had had enough by then
Dach - that sounds pretty likely to have picked up a surge and for the months after mc you usually find that they are a week longer then usual, a surge can be picked up for 1-2 days usually and it's when it goes to neg that ov should have occurred or about to, hth

Thanks kitty that's really great to know. X
