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

Hi all reassuring to hear of all the BFPs. I am still waiting on AF so we can start TTC again. It will be 6 weeks on Wednesday since my EPRC. Caved an POAS again this morning. It was a BFN which I was expecting but I am feeling really down now. I have never wished so much that AF would put in an appearance.

Congratulations MrsA.

Just to say that after my post on here I took a pregnancy test on Saturday, then 3 on Sunday including a digital, and they were all positive. We can't believe how blessed we are to have concieved so quickly after a miscarriage, however we're both trying not to get too excited and remain grounded. It's going to be a long wait until 12 week scan.

Also Saturday was three years to the day that I found out I was pregnancy with my DS. And this due date (according to my calculations) is a day different to with him.

HollyBen I was in exactly the same position just a couple of months ago. So so frustrating wanting your cycle to get back to normal. I can't imagine it will be much longer now. Are you looking after yourself? :) I found keeping really busy helped.

NellyOC really exciting news for you. I do t think we have met properly. I too am finding this 12 week period extremely hard but think we all need to keep positive and be healthy and keep our fingers crossed xx

More good news, congratulations NellyOC. This is a lucky thread I think, so Im going to continue loitering, hope some of you will stick by us.

greenone you asked how I was doing. I was doing okay the last few weeks because I felt better in myself and I felt like I was in the midst of a normal cycle, Im not ttc this month or next, thought I would wait 2 cycles. (still very jealous of anyone trying, in 2ww, peeing on sticks, etc). I hadnt even tracked ovulation, just ignored it all. My plan was to start using OV sticks from November, and start TTC December. But now not sure if my cycles are back to normal or whats going on, as Im bleeding yet again at CD20 (this happened last month too). I have a scan next Tuesday, hopefully will get some answers. I was so sure I was back on normal track and the scan was just going to confirm this. Now Im worrying.

Congrats Nelly, really pleased for you

Leons so sorry things aren't settling down for you yet. Try to relax and hopefully the scan will give you some insight.

Congrats mrsA! And you too nelly! Hope all you other preggers ladies are Doug fabulous too.

I had my op last Wednesday, had bleeding and real sore for ages...and my friend from US decided to surprise me, so not really been able to recover properly as been running around...

Anyway, next is pcos treatment...I don't even know if it's worth trying at mo as on cd14 but only had op last wednesday(cd7) which means i prob should wait AF to heal my uterus? Oh I dunno...I'm so desperate for a baby It scares me that I'm not prepared to let my body heal which could end up causing more probs.

Take care all. Will check in soon xxxx

Ps Leon's, try to stay positive. Your upcoming scan will give you an explanation, which even if negative (fingers and toes crossed it's not) will still be a relief because at least you have answers/diagnosis and which you can deal with. It's the not knowing that's so unnerving. Will be thinking of you. Take care of yourself x

Pps Doug was meant to be doing in my first sentence of my first post....I'm delirious from sleep deprivation because my friend is on us time hence rambling...

hi, how's everyone doing? this thread keeps disappearing from my app!!

I'm having shoulder tip pains again! burning sensation, exactly the same as last time. going to have my pg confirmed at the Dr's next week. I do have one question though, should the test line on a hpt get darker the further on you are? or does that not happen? I'm getting cramps too, all day, every day, it's been 9 years since I was last pg and I can't remember if that's normal :/

hope everyone is well :) xx

hi mrsA, Im afraid I cant answer your question, I only ever did 1 or 2 pg tests during each pg, so I dont know. I know I did have some sensation during early pg, whether cramp is the right word, but always a feeling something was going on, so when I didnt feel like something was going on was when I worried, and in fact I did start miscarrying. Does that make sense. Thinking of you and fingers crossed its all ok. x

MrsA they should get darker the longer time goes in but I'd say its still quite early to be noticing such a change... And it depends on which tests. I found that the cheapy test strips were faint lines forever. That's why I prefer the digi's gives u all the info u need in one go so u don't have anything else to analyse!!! x

good idea MrsRV!! DH handed in my urine sample to the GP this morning so should have it confirmed and on my records soon, then the midwife will be in touch apparently! xx

just been to the toilet (2am) I'm bleeding again! can't get back to sleep and needed to tell someone :( so scared!!!

drove myself to a&e last night, got back home at 6am, had bloods drawn, swabs done etc etc....follow up appointment on wednesday...dejavu I'm thinking :(

Didnt want to leave your post unanswered mrsa . Fx everything is okay, hope you're not on your own.

Was reading this morning because will be ttc soon once my next af arrives (mc at 6 weeks 2 weeks ago). Alongside the regular June bus there is a RMC June bus and the ladies there have all been really supportive if you fancied somewhere else to chat.

Hope youget good news today

Mrs so sorry to hear. Saw ur message earlier but cldnt post, thinking of u all day. Keepinñg fingers crossed for u. Hope u getting plenty of rest. X

thanks for your kind words ladies :) I haven't bled since early hours of this morning, I am only 5+5weeks and the nurse last night told me it could have been implantation bleeding, it woild have looked like there was alot due to it being in water in the toilet :/ I thought it seems a little late to be implantation but apparently not :/ I had my results back today and my hcg levels are at 209, not sure if that's high enough or quite low, when I asked I was told the number doesn't really matter as long as it's doubling every 48 hours so here's hoping it shows that it is when I get my bloods done again on wednesday. the dr also wants to see if they can do a scan but thinks I might still be too early and I won't be offered one :( she wants to rule out an ectopic as I have shoulder pain again, she is also surprised I wasn't scanned last time with the shoulder pain to see if my last miscarriage was ectopic. I will let you all know how the next lot of results go when I get them back on thursday/friday. keep everything crossed for me :) xx

MrsA just seen your message, so sorry you are going through this. Keeping everything crossed for you. I think they will normally scan from 6 wks so tomorrow you should be able to have a scan.

Good luck with bloods today MrsA, hope also offer a scan

unfortunately I'm having another miscarriage :'( so upset and frustrated! my hcg levels have gone from 209 to 85 in 48 hours

I'm so sorry mrs

Oh im so sorry MrsA Take care of yourself ((hugs))

hi ladies,
I haven't bled since that 1 time on sunday night! I have wore a pad every day amd had nothing on it at all, when I wipe there is a small amount of blood but it's really really dark brown and a really small amount. is this normal? I thought I'd be bleeding a lot more by now! advice please...

hope all is well with everyone else. where are we all in terms of ttc? Xx

scrap that! bleeding really really really heavy today!!! pain is unreal too, way more painful this time round :( xx

I'm so sorry mrsa . Didn't see your msg Friday (oh, I nced, but easy to spot!).

My mc is apparently not over (despite it happening 3weeks ago). Had last routine appt on Friday and my HCG levels went up instead of down. Scan shows nothing in womb or tubes, but something is hanging on somewhere so have to go back next week. Ready to move on and feel like I'm in limbo.
Only consolation right now is a big glass of
