TTC after MC (#7) - fx for better times ahead

Hey everyone. I've been following this thread for a while now, hope you don't mind if I join.
I lost my first pregnancy at the begging of June at 12 weeks (though baby stopped developing at 10) got a period 5 weeks later so now ttc again. I've been trying to be relaxed about it (no opk, checking temp etc) just dtd a lot and see what happens!
Anyway, period is now due in a week so my mind is starting to go into overdrive, thinking am I? Aren't I? Boobs are a bit sore today (although that happens before af sometimes) and my cup of tea tasted odd this morning which made me wonder, but I then I doubt it's anything this early on! Anyway it would be nice to have other ladies to chat to who are in the same boat x

Welcome feather sorry for your loss. Don't worry about not dtd enough, if it was timed around ov, even just once could be enough.
Welcome cherrypie sorry for your loss. I also lost my first pg at 12 weeks, the baby had stopped growing just a few days after 10 weeks. I know how devastating it is to lose the baby just as you think the dangerous period is over. Fx your sore boobs are an early symptom.

Thanks mama. Had a lovely birthday celebration for my LO and spoilt her rotten. Helped me to take mind off things.

Welcome cherrypie. So sorry for your loss.

On a side note, does anyone remember having cm 2 weeks after mc?

Welcome cherry, sorry for your loss...this thread will be of great comfort to you, I'm sure x

10dpo for me (this is a wtf cycle) last couple of days have had blood when brushing my teeth, migraine on 8dpo, headaches, boobs feeling achy today-little stabs and tingly, blood on tissue when blowing nose last few mornings, stuffy runny nose, tiny dizzy spells that come in little flurries, cramping and pulls in uterus and cervix...

BFN with both 10miu onestep & 15miu sure-sign....

I just don't want to kid myself, I was certain I was pregnant in my wtf cycle last time too and wasn't! We do fall pregnant very quickly though, both proper cycles I've had we've conceived (both mc)
Obviously I'm a crazy lady who is going to test everyday until either 'one of two possibilities' materialise!

Possibility to have this many symptoms in wtf cycle and 'NOT' be pregnant???

Thoughts please ladies, and thank you in advance for any replies xxx

With my 2nd mc I had no symptoms at all which made me think something was wrong and sadly turned out to be true.

paws you could be testing too early. With my daughter, I tested negative until I was a week late. I had so many symptoms so I was certain I was pregnant. Whereas, with both mc, I had no early symptoms but tested early and got a positive.

Thanks for replies guys x

Just went to the loo and wiped....small smear of red blood? Not due on till Wednesday, and ovulated for sure on cd 16, which puts me on cd 26 today....I thought luteal phase was not meant to change? Nothing more when I wiped again, so possible implantation bleeding? I thought the blood was supposed to be pink or brown...can it be red?

Last month (when pg) I started bleeding on a Sunday (spotting/very very light) and passed sac on the Wednesday,....so assuming you count the 'day' of the mc as cd1 (that's what the nurse in epu said) I assumed I would be due on this Wednesday?
I 'started' to 'see' blood on the Sunday during last pregnancy as I said, which was actually when I was due on! So seeing blood today at 28 days later is confusing me.....

All depends on 'what day' during a mc you count as cd 1
I've always gone by the day you actually pass the pregnancy?

Confused/tired/pissed off/ fed up with living my life counting down days, and tissue checking :'(

To be honest, I have no idea which day to count as CD1 paws. Not too sure about implantation bleeding either. Sorry! Totally know how you're feeling though. Sending you hugs.

Weird and scary update, upon going to toilet again and checking clears throat inside
It appears um not bleeding from the hole I thought I was.....its coming out of my bum?!!! Wtf!!!???

Aww paws, try not to worry. It's probably something minor. If you've recently been constipated you might have a fissure- basically a small tear that will probably heal itself

Thanks fruit, constipation in early pregnancy can cause fissures apparently...fc I just have another wonderfully annoying symptom! x

You can get blood from bum in diarrhoea also when pg. I had it.

Poor you Paws ! Could it be constipation, as others have said?

I know how hard it it counting down the days until AF is due/testing, but is there anything at all you can distract yourself with until then? Anything that will take your mind off it for a couple of hours each day? Happy to recommend books and also pintrest to pass the time.

raluca did you have it in early pregnancy? And without going into too much detail, was it soft or hard? X

feather thanks, have become a bit of a google-holic! I have been constipated last few days, making sure I drink two liters of mineral water, and taking movical sachets (pg safe laxatives) x

Hi, Could I join you please?

I had a mc at just under 6 weeks 3.5 weeks ago. It would have been our DC2.

About 10 days after the MC I had lots of ewcm so could have ovulated then.

I'm wondering at the moment when I'm likely to get AF? My cycles were always 27-28 days so would be due this week under normal circumstances (if the mc had been AF, if that makes sense?).

We have been dtd a bit over the past couple of weeks but don't want to torture myself that I might be pg when it's probably just a weird cycle.

Any advice would be much appreciated .

Welcome hope...sorry for your loss
Have you taken a pregnancy test and got your first bfn yet? Your body will try and start a new cycle once your hcg from pregnancy/mc has gone, you will not ovulate or have af until hgc has completely gone as your body still thinks it's pg... However if you have had a neg pg test before that 10day mark when you had the ewcm, you 'may' have ovulated!
I had neg test as quickly as the day after mc, and ovulated on cd16, in my tww now, cd10 today but bfn ...grrrr!
So many pg symptoms but as I'm sure you know, progesterone that occurs in pregnant 'and' non-pregnant cycles is responsible for those symptoms wether you're pg or not
Time will tell I spose... Good luck with wtf cycle, hope it goes smoothly for you x

Meant 10dpo today, not cd10! ....sorry

Hope usually the time between ovulation and your period stays the same as far as I know so if you know how long that should be you should get a reasonable guesstimate

I'm 7dpo, no symptoms but really stressed and sleep deprived as my Mum collapsed on Saturday at home, and again in A&E and is in hospital. She seems ok now but they don't know what happened

Thanks both. I had a negative test a week after the mc and the ewcm two days after that. I'm guessing AF is due on or around Friday based on what you've said.

Hope your mum is ok Carrot. That must have been really scary.

carrot sorry to hear that, hope you're feeling ok and that your mum is home asap xx

11dpo bfn.....keep expecting to see blood when go to the loo...only spotting yesterday?! Still, this is a wtf cycle after all!

Could swear I'm pg though...

Welcome hope..sorry for your loss.

carrot hope both you and your mum are ok.

Paws I was having a BAD diarrhoea! I called 111 when I saw blood and they said not to worry as long as I don't bleed heavily.
It was strange but with both my mc I had bad diarrhoea and with ds was the exact opposite

Thanks for the info raluca x

Right,....please excuse me if you guys think I'm being crude in posting this pic, but I have google searched, and there doesn't seem to be many pictures of implantation bleeding, and I think it would be useful to be able to relate to some!

Had this yesterday evening, nothing all day, now again this evening....could be just AF on way for all I know (probably is)
But thought id post anyhoos...11dpo today, bfn still, cramping a lot, very hot and headachy all of a sudden....
Either I'm pregnant and am having strong implantation, or this I just the start of what will be a very painful wtf cycle period....
Its orange like colored, with streaks of bright red, and has blobs of snot green tacky cm!

Sorry to gross you guys out
