Ttc after an early miscarriage, any advice appreciated

[MrsAnderson22]

hi everyone, my husband and I were delighted we'd conceived baby #3 3 months after having my mirena removed. Unfortunately I miscarried at around 6 weeks, my bleeding started on 6th July and ended on 15th July, my hcg levels never got above 143 so they left my system pretty quick, by the 18th I was having bfn at the drs. I wondered when should I expect my AF? before the mc I was always 28 days bang on! I have had no symptoms for AF, although I have had really bad heartburn for 4 days, this was my first symptom last time too, so could I be pregnant? I'm useless at working out dates and cycles and ovulation etc..... we bd'd on 15th July and have been pretty consistently b'ding every other night since then with the exception of a couple of days. when should a test show bfp given all these dates? thanks for taking the time to read, hope someone has some advice for me x

well, I reckon we've passed the tmi stage so I'm just gonna come out with it...

I'm very gassy, constipated and crampy! constipation =codeine/pregnancy....gas & cramps= AF! I am 90% sure that AF will get me this month!

xx

I feel really 'pre AF' today even though it is not due until 28th! MrsA we will be here if things don't go your way this month x

MrsA - Test! Test! Test!

hahaha I plan on testing on Saturday if AF doesn't rear it's ugly head tomorrow!! watch this space :D xx

Ah but MrsA AF and preg symptoms can be pretty much the same - you don't which it is yet ... I'm still keeping my FX for you! Go on, poas in the morning!!! As Greeneone said though, we're here to support you if the witch does get you.

Greeneone - the temp rise is due to the change in hormones after ovulation. Apparently its the only way to actually be sure you have ovulated. So now I've got my positive OPK I can tell when I actually ovulate as will see the temp rise the next day. Hoping this way I won't miss the window. If you're preggo then temps will stay high so a drop in temp towards the end of the 2ww wil prob mean AF will show up shortly, that happened to me last month.

Oh also Greeneone feeling pre AF now could be signs ovulation is due maybe? Although I'm not really sure about that

Btw cheesy, good work on your smiley face. FX!!

Thanks

Thanks for explaining. I hope Leons comes back...

I'm still here. My laptop on the blink, so now attempting to post on phone. My af started off extremely light for 2 days, so light thought maybe implantation. But yesterday and today heavier and bright red, which I read means I'm very fertile (hope so at my age ttc)? Hope a good sign for next time ovulating.
Greenone I had pre af feeling too around time I was ovulating.
Fingers crossed for u MrsA.

Cheesy smile glad you got positive opk !! Wahoo get goin Lol

I am now on cd 36 and 18 days dpo!!!! Done HPT cheapy and bfn !!! Feels like period coming and just teasing me so strange so depressed

Works so busy so keep long me preoccupied missed catching up in here !!! Just as bough the monitor aswell can't use until 1 st day of cycle

Positive those cheaply 10hcg tests are crap... They all looked negative when I did mine. It wasn't until hours later they showed a tiny little mark. Go & get yourself a digi one. Then you'll know for sure as they are fantastic! x

positive that sucks, but yeah get a digi one and see what that says. Hope you either get your bfp or af soon.

Hi Leons, glad you're ok! New cycle, new chance.

My temps still low so gonna have to jump dh again tonight!

well, no AF as yet, normally wake up with it but the days not over :( poas, clear blue digi......bfn :( have a spare in the box and will do it tmrw or sunday if no AF, feel pretty disheartened though, I'd expect a cb digi to pick up hcg on day of AF if pregnant...no? Xx

Well probably MrsA but didn't you say you wud only be 10 or 11 dpo at this point? Isn't that still quite early?

yes, 11dpo. still no sign of AF but I have had some discharge today, creamy not sticky, what does that mean? also I'm thinking because I ovualted later than normal this month (cd17 instead of cd14) that my AF might be late too? Xx

AF I would expect the digi one to work.... However, you know you ovulated late which I guess pushes back everything else? I've read before that some women actually know they're pregnant but don't get BFP's until quite a while after AF due date. I have everything crossed for you, even including my legs

Cheesy keep on jumping!!!!! Go go go!!!!

So, I've been googling again and good news for all us ladies who are TTC/prego quite soon after MC. If you conceive within 6 months of MC you are LESS likely to have complications or miscarriage! Good news hey? Certainly helping me stay positive right now!

so does everyone think I should wait until sunday? monday? to test- no sign of AF coming yet, nipples have been tender tonight and very very itchy!!! and it's 11.20pm and I'm staaaarving!!!

Thanks mrs rv and cheesy will try one, thought they all do same job just expensive label lol saying that if 31 day cycle maybe early to test ??! 6 days over due really but 19dpo that's good news if I catch in 6 Mnths here's hoping

Mrs a feel you pain no AF so strange. Mite get a digi one just don't want to knowing my luck ill come back home to find AF haha that's happened before ....but cd 37 !

Worried if not bfp why would I be this late on I feel a pulling feeling like AF n bloated but nothing xx

And cheesysmile get jumping hahaha enjoy ;)

I can't take the suspense, can u pls both poas daily & post the outcome by 6.30am so I know where I am for the day!?!

... I agree MrsRV!!!

So I got jumping Thursday night and this morning, but not yesterday in the end. Hoping thats going be ok.

Digi ones less sensitive than say superdrug tests but they are very clear to read so no squinting at lines!

Mrsa if you ov late then yeah af def due later so your not out yet!

Positive sorry if you've said but how many cycles post mc are you? If its the first might explain why its a long one maybe???

Ha ha we jumped Thursday but we're so tired last night it didn't happen. I am out for a meal tonight so a few glasses of red and we will be away.

Any nice plans for anyone this weekend? The suspense is indeed exciting! It's so comforting to be sharing these weeks with people who understand x

Sorry for typos! we were

Mrs rv sorry lol I work late so never get chance to come in before lol sorry I will try do quick updates !!

Cheesy dont worry I'm same forget what I've written sometimes but don't wanna repeat myself lol I'm on cycle 2 after mc cycle one was 31 days hence saying 6 days late but from normal cycles for me 28 days would make it 8 days late but I did ovulate late if I ovulated at all as had problems with those cheap opk

Even rushed bought clear blue monitor and can't use until first day if cycle grrrrrrr whenever the hell that's gonna be

Should be able to post pics on here really poas again this morn NO LINE at all no doubt about that ...... Surely not worth getting digi ???

Grrrrrrr how annoying I half have a hope deep down but 19 dpo I should be getting positive if pregnant ?! Surely
