Ttc after recent mc, for Creme egg scoffers, shared confusion and joint cursing of mother nature

[Thundercatsarego]

I couldn't bring myself to call her a bitch, we still need her help! Come on ladies, let's do this thing....

oh...and totally off topic... anybody having anything nice for dinner? i have to go to the shops but can't think of what to make tonight!

I'll go with Friday Janie if you are? It seemed to work for everyone else!

That's if annoying AF doesn't turn up and get me first grrrrrrrr

Oh and dinner? I'd go ribs!! I'd always go with a big slab of BBQ ribs droooools

eek ok booty, friday it is! and yes...unless af arrives (due tursday according to phone app).

loving the ribs idea...i wonder is there a slimming world friendly recipe! off to google! x

Right guys prepare yourselves..... About to go off topic and be vulgar....if your easily offended please look away now

Ok ready?........

I know that after the ERPC you can't copulate whilst bleeding etc....but.....can you er have a play? I'm sorry just that excitement got the better of us and the rest is history, however now I'm panicking in case I've done something sorry again

I guess you can't go all the way cos of risk of infection so I errr guess it depends what you did, I DON'T want to know but maybe keep an extra eye out for signs of infection?

Heehee fod I'm sure you'll be ok if it was just a wee fumble they just don't recommend full intercourse cos of the risk of infection cos you aren't properly healed up inside if you're still bleeding x

There was a clear no entry sign lol sorry again....but nothing entered me...I knowwww I'm sorry

Ha ha fod you have made me smile - I'm sure you will be okay Hun as you had the no entry sign!!

Not sure if you know knowledgeable ladies can help me - I have got some strange mild cramps going on this evening in my lower tummy and not sure what it is???

I have been doing my opk everyday and not had a positive yet (to be expected as I have irregular and mucho long cycles) so surely it can't be AF???? I also feel (TMI alert) "moist" down there (i keep nipping to the loo thinking I've come on) - any ideas???

My miscarriage was 3 weeks ago (15th feb) and the bleeding stopped after 1 week. I hate the lack of control I have over my body - makes me feel really down

Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot - I spoke to DH and bless him he tried but had no idea and I don't want to go to Dr Google!

Xx

Hahaa mummy glad your smiling

It could be your hormones returning to normal....or a new pregnancy!!! That'd be fab!

Sounds like ovulation yo me, ark DTD quick quick quick

Wow this thread moves fast

spanish thanks I POAdigitalS yesterday and got the 1-2 weeks so ill do it again on Sat then all being well

aly sorry to read your news, hope you get back on track quickly afterwards

lucky I always test too early too

bod Hows the needle practice going? And thanks for the decaf reminder!

Re EDDs mine shows as 14 Nov, but I ov on Cd19 so will prob be 19 Nov if we get to dating scan

bakin good to see you back I will post on you're thread in a min to mark my place but will stay here for a bit if that's ok

thunder it sounds like it could actually be good news, if that was the cause of your MC? Hope you're a bit happier now...repeat bootys message abt her friend over and over if not

mummy DTD can't hurt and may be just the right time

So not much happening here, feeling slight nausea in the afternoons and getting the stretching pains which send me into mild panic so just a waiting game. First mile stone is next weekend which gets me past point of last MC

Morning Shell. Me too. I poa digi this morning, got a 1-2. Planning on poa digi next Sunday too. Hopefully will have gone up.
I am already in an absolute panic. Im so scared of mc for a 3rd time.
DH keeps saying that either way this is good, if it goes wrong we will get help now, if it goes right, yay. But I don't want to lose another one. This is Waaay to much stress to be fun. I don't know how to chill out. And then keep worrying that stress will stop things happening!!! Argh!!!

Mummy, I would guess at ov pains, but to be completely honest anything goes after mc. Nothing wrong with dtd anyway just in case :)

Hi everyone, not been on for ages as just waiting for af following mc but she finally turned up on Friday, five and a half weeks after the event! So am simultaneously relieved and nervous to be back in the ttc game.

Sorry to those who have had bad news since I last posted . Thinking of you.

Fantastic to see some BFPs! Giving us all hope.

I see we're doing a stats list now so here are mine:

Zeu 1DD 1mc cycle 1 bfp due 11th April

Hello everyone, like Zeuxippe, I also have been lurking for ages since last posting... Here's to lots of spring BFPs!

JBrd: 1 DS, 1 MC, cycle 1, AF/BFP due March 15/16 (according to my calculations) or March 12 (according to FertilityFriend - I'm in denial that my cycles appear to have gotten shorter )

I'm already symptom-spotting like mad...

Morning ladies thanks for your replies - I will get cracking with DTD then - fingers crossed!!

Is it possible to ovulate and not get a positive OPK?? In theory could I miss testing for the surge e.g get negative result Monday morning, surge happens Monday afternoon and is over by the test next on Tuesday morning???

This TTC lark is confusing!! X

Hi all mummy yes you can miss the surge, I'd get Dtd but carry on with the opks just incase you haven't missed the surge.

I've been googling early scans, very undecided but I don't have any milestone dates as I only started bleeding the day before my 12 week scan, the sac (blighted ovum) measured 6 + 4 but obv my body carried on thinking it was pregnant till 12 weeks even with no baby. So I don't think CB digitals would help either. I can afford a scan but just feel very nervous about it :( any advice?

Bump - no advice necessarily, but my plan is to have an early scan if I get to about 7 weeks. The first time my body carried on until 8 weeks, even thought it had gone at 5. So I want to pick up on it earlier of things are going wrong again.

Mummy could be impending AF? I was getting mild, and very much not so mild cramps for a good week before she finally arrived, and also that 'something is happening' feeling. It's not so bad, at least you have a good cut off/starting point.
Zeux I'm glad there's someone else at the start of their cycle, I was starting to think I was polar opposite to everyone else and would be POAS all on my own!

I will definitely be going for an early scan. I know the chances of a second ectopic are slightly raised and I won't rest until I know.

Hi saggy great to have a poas buddy!

Defo early scan here too....my MMC the baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks so that's when I'll get mine if I get there

shellshock got hubby practice this morning on the fake cushion thingy strapped to my tummy. He was a bit crap if I am honest. Did't get a single one perfect before we ran out of practice needles!! Gonna drag him in to EPAU when I get the stuff to be shown properly by our midwife. I also am friendly with a DVT nurse who offered to do them for me in the weekdays until I get the hang of it. I want hubby to do it as I think its good to get him involved.

bump I would go for one at about 8 weeks gestation. That's a nice time to see a heartbeat for definite and not too long a wait or too long till 12 week scan.

Just snuck a caffeinated tea in.

I guess if it is AF then at least I will know what day is cycle day one etc as at the moment I have no idea - all I know is its been 3 weeks and 2 days since the miscarriage. Still no positive opk but I am trying to look for other signs of ovulation too. It's so frustrating having such long and irregular cycles!! X

saggy and zeux i'll be at the beggining of my cycle after erpc tomorrow.
still can't believe I have to go right back to the start again :(

but i'm certainly not waiting for first av before ttc again, as soon as the bleeding stops (and I'm hoping that since I already had the "main" miscarriage that should be quickly - and now that I've said taht it'll probably last for weeks) we'll get back on the horse, so to speak.

bump i too had an empty sac at 12 weeks and want to have an early scan around 7-8 weeks. I'd rather know asap if the same thing is happening again...

Hi alyant it seems we had quite a similar experience, I had hardly any bleeding after the ERPC and i got a BFN after 10 days, but this was the first Test I did so would probably have been negative earlier. then it took 3 weeks for AF to turn up (which is pretty quick really) i assume this was because id had most of my miscarriage naturally like you. So that would mean I ovulated one week after the ERPC. Hope this helps :)
