First month of ttc after early miscarriage....

....hi all
I had miscarriage the week before Christmas at 5 weeks. So disappointed I can't tell you as me and DH have been trying for 7 months and this is our first. We're both 40 so time isn't on our side.
BBT suggests i've ovulated 2 and a half weeks after miscarriage but i had no cm.

Could I ovulate this month?

Any thoughts would be welcome....

Where are you living? I'm in holland and find getting all the stuff i'm used to at home is frustrating. Amazon is brilliant though - although that doesnt help you now!
I'm sure you will ov, dont let that add to your worry. I know its easier said than done. TTC is just about the only thing keeping me going. SOme days i want to just stay in bed and hide!
Keep us updated and fell free to have a moan when ever you feel like you need to!

I am in South Africa and finding a lot of stuff here that I used to take for granted is a challenge. Keeping fingers crossed for Ov soon. Will definitely update. I also feel like hiding away some days and ttc is what keeps me going at the moment.

Swede - me too, mc on 27th Dec, no signs of ovulation yet?! Just waiting, waiting, waiting!

SwedeAway · 16/01/2014 15:49

Miss Hobart, yes it is so annoying. My whole cycle is out of bounce and I feel rather lostHmm It certainly feels like Ov is on its way but my opk tells a different story. The wait is driving me insane.

MissHobart · 17/01/2014 11:37

Well today I peed on two sticks! A PG and an ov, both negative Hmm So back to thumb twiddling!

SwedeAway · 17/01/2014 12:23

I used an opk this morning but no smiley for me:( Where is my Ov???

MissHobart · 20/01/2014 00:32

Maybe ours ran off together Hmm Grin

SwedeAway · 20/01/2014 04:55

Miss Hobart - I am starting to suspect that you may be right:) Still no Ov or AF... sooooo frustrating!

MissHobart · 20/01/2014 11:06

It's so boring fucking frustrating isn't it! Angry

Woke up with a sore left boob today, I'm obviously PG! Grin totally not due to lying on my kindle all night Hmm

EnglishGirlAbroad · 20/01/2014 22:53

I have no idea if I've ov'd either ladies. Ran out on Friday and was still getting flashing smileys, so who knows know. Am DTD everyday til thurs in a hope that if I have/do I've caught it.
Hate not knowing what my body is doing. Feeling very out of control! In a way I just want AF to show her ugly head so I know this wtf cycle is over!!

MissHobart · 21/01/2014 00:00

Ditto!

Keep convincing myself I'm PG then telling myself off, Hmm , Just wish one or the other would make an appearance.

Have plans which involve drinking this week (first time in months) so keep telling myself to wait till Friday before poas. However I'm having bloods done on Wednesday, day 21 tests I think, before my works do out, should I test beforehand? Bah!

Feeling Confused Hmm Angry Sad .

This is my first full day of not smoking though so kind of happy about that! Smile

SwedeAway · 21/01/2014 05:10

Finally some news. My ovaries were hurting all day yesterday so I did an Opk when I got home and got a smiley:) So very pleased as at least I know my body is now working again. Needless to say we dtd last night!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 21/01/2014 08:12

I did a pg test yesterday just invade I'd been one of those lucky buggers that ovulates straight after bleeding.... Bfn!! Don't know why I did it really!!

Sounds like things are moving I. The right direction swede. What cd are you on now? Xx

SwedeAway · 21/01/2014 11:15

English - I am really not sure about my cycle this month. When my gyno measured my eggs on the 8th Jan he said I was about cd8 so I should now be about cd19. Not sure how accurate this is (hard to know when to start counting considering some but not all of the days of my mc bleeding (sorry TMI) counts as AF). Its all so confusing.

Sorry about the bfn. What cd are you on?

abcdef12345 · 21/01/2014 13:32

Hi, I’ve been on the Celeste pill for 12 years. I’m trying to conceive for my first baby. Need some advice. Came off the pill in November 2013. Had my last period 27th November 2013. Found out I was pregnant 2nd Jan 2014. But unfortunately had a chemical pregnancy, was so upset. My partner and I have decided to keep trying for our baby. I haven’t had a period since November. Any body have any advice for me, can I still get pregnant or do I have to have a period. I’ve read so much different stuff on Google. Thanks.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 21/01/2014 13:47

swede its so hard isn't it?! I feel so helpless! I'm CD 21 now! I really do feel like screaming WHAT THE FUCK!!!

abcd the only advice I can give is to expect the unexpected. There is so much contradicting info online. I've learnt that the cycle immediately after m/c is often known as a WTF cycle. Some people ovulate us usual, some dont (thats my predicament). You might get AF at expected time, you may not. All i'd say is keep dtd and hope for the best.

SwedeAway · 22/01/2014 15:21

English, yes it is frustrating not knowing. At least now I know I did Ov yesterday, could really feel it. So dtd yday and the day before but not going to do it any more this month as I don't want to overdo it. Officially in the 2ww but who knows how long that will actually last for...

MissHobart · 23/01/2014 15:58

CD23 here in my WTF cycle, however some good news! Had day 21 bloods done yesterday and the GP texted me to say the results are "consistent with ovulation" so fingers crossed, though there's a 5 day gap where we didn't dtd cos I didn't think it would even be feasible this month Hmm

So joining in the hopeful symptom spotting! Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 23/01/2014 21:30

ahhh glad your tests have come back with a nice result! Lets hope there were a few swimmers lurking around ov day! Fx for you!

My WTF cycle is continuing to be mental. Fed up of thinking about ovulation this cycle. What will be will be now I think. I've done all I can!

MissHobart · 23/01/2014 22:40

Thanks! It's annoying at the same time though as it's put everything back to the front of my mind Hmm
