Ttc after an early miscarriage, any advice appreciated

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

When did you have it? As late as this in your cycle. I was sure earlier that it was definite a sign af was imminent. Im constantly in and out of the toilet checking.

I completely believe that the discharge I had was imolantation bleeding! I can't remember off the top of my head when it happened but I have read that implantation can happen 6-12 or 7-14 dpo! depends what site you go on :/ I wouldn't class yourself as out this month yet, have you tested at all? Xx

No. I dont even have a test in the house. Nearly bought one when passing superdrug today. I will hold out until next week if af hasnt arrived.

greeneone12 · 07/09/2013 21:44

We DTD on Wednesday 15th May and Thursday 16th and I had implantation bleed on 25th so 10 days after.

5 more days until AF is due :/ hope it doesn't appear, every other time I've been pregnant the first symptom I have is heavy, extrememly sore boobs, like taking off my bra for bed is agony, I don't have that yet :( it's not giving me too much hope, then again it could just be too early. if I remember correctly I didn't have sore boobs until I had a bfp the last time :/ sick of this countdown, why does it have to be soooooo long haha

I am so impatient it's unreal! Trying to keep busy to take my mind off baby making. Right now I feel scared that at the crucial time next week I will actually be too tired to DTD!

feel like I've been run over by a bus today :( but only my left side! aching hip, sore armpit; can't put my arm down, sore shoulder, burning pain behind my ear; going into my neck, jaw, temple and cheek :'( still feeling totally exhausted!

kids and hubby went to his grans for sunday dinner, we do that every week...I stayed at home and opted for a cuppa, blanket and a really old black and white Marilyn Monroe film Grin hubby has just walked back through the door and thinks I need to go to hospital, for my aches and pains but more so because I'm enjoying a b&w movie haha...

That does all sound pretty horrible! Does sound a bit like a virus....enjoy your dinner!

cheesysmile · 08/09/2013 17:56

Hello!

Not much to update really, second day of doing OPKs today and still negative, but still early really. Not much cm yet either so think the opks are right. Gonna get on with baby making dtd from tomorrow / Tuesday whatever its saying though as tomorrow is CD 12. Trying not to start too early this month.

I consumed rather a lot of wine last night, but that's it now going to be good now the baby making is starting again! Also I could do with dropping a few pounds so staying off the alcohol should hopefully help with that as well.

Ooo Leons that is sounding positive, I really hope AF stays away for you. Keep us up to date!

MrsA it does sound like you have a horrible bug, rest up and feel better soon. Keeping my FX that you get your positive at the end of the week. Well done on going back to Uni, sounds like you've had a tough time of it.

How are you feeling Greeneone? What day are you on now? It's boring in the first week or so isn't it, can't even symptom spot to keep ourselves amused! What's your plan this month or are you going to keep it laid back (no pun intended!)? I'm thinking every other day and maybe a couple of days in a row when I get positive opk ...

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sundays, I'm not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow after the weekend, got so much to do at the moment. At least it will keep me occupied I guess!

Leons · 08/09/2013 19:58

Nothing new to report from me. I had tiniest bit of brown discharge when I wiped today, really miniscule amount. I bought some tests, Clearblue 2 pack which was on offer in Superdrug, and they are burning a hole in my bathroom cupboard. Screaming out to me. I will hold off, at least until after tomorrow.

MrsA, hope you start to feel better soon, sounds like a nasty bug.

hi ladies, just back in from the Dr's, turns out I have trigeminal neuralgia! a lot more research to be done on that one!

greeneone12 · 08/09/2013 21:49

Leons you are so good for resisting! Brown discharge really is a sign that would be making me hopeful.

Nothing to report here really. I cried today at my friends house as my DD was being so lovely with her 1 year old, giving him toys and kissing his head. She also kept telling us to shush because her baby brother was sleeping in her tummy!

CD 14 is the lucky day for us so think we will try and DTD on CD 12, 14 and 15. See where that gets us. That will be next week so until them I am planning on carrying out some essential beauty treatments and trying to make myself feel confident and sexy instead of tired and haggered [hmmm]

greeneone12 · 08/09/2013 21:49
Hmm
greeneone12 · 08/09/2013 21:51

Feel better very soon MrsA and hope the kids give you an easy day Cheesysmile. How many do you look after?

cheesysmile · 08/09/2013 23:02

MrsA that sounds complicated! I have no idea what that is, but hope you're feeling better.

Greeneone I don't look after children, I have an office job! Hope beauty treatments go well Smile

Leons good luck holding out!

cheesysmile · 09/09/2013 07:29

Flashing Smile on opk this morning. I'm thinking its not positive until its fixed but better than yesterday!

Have a good day all.

greeneone12 · 09/09/2013 08:22

Fingers crossed! Sorry I got you and Leons confused :)
