Hi there
I fell pregnant in May, the second month of trying – extremely lucky, I know. I had spotting week 9 due to a missed miscarriage and had an ERPC the following week. I was carrying MCMA twins which are apparently high-risk.
We were told we could start trying again immediately. My 1st period started after 30 days – no idea when I ovulated as I had a positive pregnancy test for at least 2 weeks after the ERPC. My 2nd period started after 27 days – I ovulated around cycle day 15. And my 3rd period has started today after 25 days, my regular cycle length – I ovulated around cycle day 13. I have been using the app ‘Ovia’ and have realised my luteal phase – this month and before the miscarriage – is generally 12 days which seems shorter than average. Will this affect my body’s ability to implant…?
I’m feeling so down as I’d desperately hoped I would be pregnant again by now especially after seeing so many threads on here about how fertile one is after a miscarriage. What is worse is that since the miscarriage I get pregnancy symptoms in the lead-up to my period – cramps, pelvic pain, constipation, gas, back ache, nausea, lots of cm and, this month thrush.
I feel like my body is taunting me and if I’m honest, I think I’m going a bit bonkers. I had no idea a miscarriage would be so hard. I find it hard to let myself cry because sometimes I think I might lose control completely.
Is anyone else in the same boat? Any words of wisdom? I think my friends and family are getting a bit fed up with me! I have started temping this month to help me pinpoint if I am even ovulating. I’ve used OPKs until now.
