I get knocked down, but I'll get knocked up again, cos you're never gonna keep me down... The big fat posifrickintivity thread for people TTC after MC.

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

I thought I'd start the new thread and earn some brownie points with the posifrickintivity Gods...

Well I have been a very naughty girl. Expecting fish slapping.
Poas today and I think there was a very very faint line!!! Might be evaporation line or my mind planning tricks. Will try again in morning.

Nice things this week:

Off work. Yippee
London without DD for 1 night (cocktails might be in or out)

ariel. Good luck with job interview.

Ooooh fingers crossed Miss P update tomorrow please!

Good luck MissP.

Ok. Cheerful things... I have 2 foals due this month and friend 1.

Ooo congrats mrsp!

saggy ahhhhhhh!!!!! Foalies! I'm hoping you're going to post piccies? And was it af?

kat holiday sounds smashing.

Of course I will post pics. The last foals pictures are on my profile. Yes I'm sure it's AF, although its still light. I am really crampy and sick feeling.

Oh Saggy, it's completely shit feeling like your body is betraying you. If it helps at all, the 4 months before I conceived DC2 were 17, 24, 36, 29 day cycles. Just because this cycle is a random one doesn't mean that next month won't be the BFP one.

I am feeling crampy today so I am hoping that first post-MC is on its way. Will be pleased to get another miscarriage milestone over and done with.

Congrats MrsP! It's nice to have some happy news for a change.

Speaking of happy thoughts, my Happy Sunday Thought is: the building work is finished, we are back home and we have a new bedroom carpet going in on Tuesday (oh, the thrills!).

OMG foals! I LOVE baby animals. Saw a whole brood of gorgeous ducklings on the canal today.

Exciting news Miss P - I look forward to updates!

Thank you for the good luck wishes :)

Confused at the mo as AF started heavy this morning and has now pretty much vanished. Guess it might be odd as first since MC. Pretty much bang on 4 weeks.

Congratulations MissP!

I need someone to slap me with a wet fish - I'm only on CD16 (although I had EWCM on CD9) and I'm already symptom spotting! The 2 things that made me test when I got my BFP last time was back ache and bad wind and am dealing with both of these at the moment. Tell me I'm being stupid and its far too soon to symptom spot?

It's far to soon to symptom spot!

Sorry MissP for marrying you off. I blame Thunder!

Something occurred to me earlier.
I was working with a guy, and we were chatting about the fact that there were loads of pg people around. It progressed to him telling me his wife had several MC and I told him about mine.

I was pondering the conversation, when it dawned on me that I've had 3 decent conversations IRL about this, and ALL of them were with men! one with my lovely boss, the other with a friend.
It just struck as a interesting! I obviously know lots of women, and I know that many of them have had MCs, but none of us have ever really discussed it!

Bad news from me today.

I had my second day of low bbt post ovulation. Below cross line temp kind of low. Then I noticed spotting when I go to the toilet. I believe I'm out this cycle. Thing is the drop in bbt started at 8dpo. That is far too short for a luteal phase! Has anyone had a short luteal phase post mc and then bounce back to normal?

I was breastfeeding when I got my first bfp. One of the side effects of BF is short luteal phase. And the I didn't have an AF between my first and second pregnancies. So I don't dont if I have a luteal phase problem already.

Forgot to add I'm no longer BF. I'm a bit down with this cycle's short luteal phase

Woo hoo - Congratulation MissP!!!

Sorry thing aren't looking good OLTT. I don't do BBT enough to fully get what's not looking good (!) but I really hope it turns out to be misleading and you get your BFP soon.

Rockchick, I'm at 4dpo and have spent the last 24 hours oscillating between symptom spotting and telling myself not to be so ridiculous! It's enough to drive you crazy isn't it.

Ariel, sorry AF has arrived. Good luck for the interview.

DDMF, yay about building being completed and fingers crossed for AF. I found I felt better after that milestone.

Hey to everyone else. Apologies if I've missed anyone - I'm on the phone.

I stopped BF as I wondered if it was interfering with TTC when it was taking a long time (many moons ago now). Even though I had only been doing one feed a day for ages I still had a massive hormone crash and a couple of odd cycles. I'm sure it's temporary.

Sorry I forgot to say grats to misspositivity. I am feeling really down atm so hoping work will keep me really busy. And I need a bit handful of positivity fairy dust!

Sorry you're so down OneLittleToddlerTerror. I hope work is OK.

Nice to read the happy Sunday thoughts. I'm having profiteroles for breakfast to kick off my week!

Fingers are crossed for you MissPositivity.

Anyone know if ovulation pain is ever something to be concerned about? I'd never had it before - only knew what it was from googling & positive OPK test. Was bent over with stabbing pains at some points yesterday - and some bleeding after DTD last night. Completely fine today so assuming OK.

rainbow I'm sure we've all been down about the MCs. I guess the short luteal phase and the AF just triggered old wounds . bakingtins I'm no longer BF so I was expecting a normal luteal phase. But I haven't had a normal period since DD's birth because I was either BF or pregnant (twice, and both were MC). This AF is my cycle 0 so I should stay positive and just write it off as WTF? I couldn't have a luteal phase deficiency if I managed to get to 6 weeks and 12 weeks, can I? I know LP problems can cause miscarriages, and that's my worry.

As for ovulation pain rainbow I've heard on here that ovarian cysts could be a cause. But then it's probably nothing like this. And ovarian cysts won't stop you getting BFP and healthy babies. Just giving you pain! Fx it's all ok for you too.

help please.....I've only had one AF since my mmc in Feb - last one was 4 April - is this normal? Before i was on the pill so not really sure what my 'normal' is but so frustrated right now!

Now rereading your post bakingtins you are saying it might take a couple of cycle to recover from BF. I hope it's the same with the MC then, and that I shouldn't worry too much until it's a problem after a couple of cycles. (Trying very very hard to keep positive).

amicable I don't know what's normal . I hope your body is just settling down.

rainbow. I wouldn't worry Bout ovulation pain. Cysts generally sort themselves out too. Sounds like its all working.

Think my test was Evap line. Tried first response tidy and a BFN.
Feel really silly and stupid and sad.

Onwards and upwards.
