TTC after miscarriage - lucky thread number 3

[Brenna24]

Still hopeing for 3x3 BFPs for this month. Hopefully thread 3 will do that.

Jo thank you and a massive congratulations!!

Thank you Amy

Massive congratulations :)

Fantastic news Jo we are up to 3 on this thread and 5 this month. Nearly 2x3. Only a week until I can test.

Happy birthday to DD and her twin. Amy you carry the others in your heart all the time. You don't need to visit them for them to know they are loved.

Paco it is quite normal to feel like that.

I think I am coughing slightly less today. DDog is being a knob about taking his new pill. How do I persuade him it is helping Bloody animals.

Hugs Amy, it sounds like your DS's are very much remembered and cherished in your thoughts and memories. What have you been doing to celebrate your dd1's birthday? xx

Congrats Jo, that sounds promising! :-)

I'm now about 10dpo and feeling more PMT-like, emotional, frustrated, hormonal and crampy with backache. No AF yet though, will see what tomorrow brings.

Jo I'm so thrilled for you! You were a rock to me on the mc forum and I'm so grateful. Congratulations

Congratulations to everyone with BFP's! There has been a lot of good news lately!

JoMalones congratulations! it's funny how it works like that sometimes. That's what happened with us the last time too. The month before I could have given you a blow by blow account of when I was fertile etc but the month we concieved I was trying to chill a bit and as a result have no idea of when exactly I ovulated.

How long did it take for everyones cycles to come back? It's been over 5 weeks since the surgical management but still no sign of ovulation or AF. Not even seeing any CF yet. Would just like to know my body was getting back to normal.

Lucky I am 9dpo. We are at almost identical places.

Hi all, mind if I join you? MC started Tuesday night, after finding out on scan on Monday I likely had a blighted ovum (should have been 8 week 2d, scan showed 5-6 week gestational sac, no bean). So still a bit raw and hurting, but mind is already on getting back on the TTC wagon (had been TTC#2 for about 9 months). Started temping again this morning, temps down from when I fell pregnant but not down to basal levels just yet, guessing the HCG not quite out of the system. Hoping to see plenty of positive stories of BFPs soon after MCs and that the anecdotal evidence of increased fertility of MC is true....

Lucky we've had family round and having a party on Sunday. DD wanted a tea party so that's what she's having, a few friends round for cake and pretend tea. She's received lots of min craft thing including the new game from Mil and Fil, lots of books a few toys and £150, at only 8 that's slot of money!

Nitnat welcome and sorry for your loss.

Brenna hoping the thread achieve 3x3 very soon, looks quite likely looking at the stats this month! Good luck ladies!

Opk's are still positive even with dilute urine and seriously gone over my caffeine limit today. Had lots of cake and a burger as well feeling the bloat! Ov pains have gone completely now so thinking it's happening now or will do while I'm sleeping. Last month the cramps lasted right through until af came and on till day 3 of af so hoping this is a good sign everything's back to normal.
Off for a shower and to mentally prepare myself for tomorrow's shift at work. First time as senior in charge since mc, dreading it!

Mrs your opk was positive from the pic. Mine is still positive today, having a two day surge and should ov tonight or tomorrow. It normally happens 12-36 hours after the lh surge is detected by the opk. I'm temping so will see a temp rise to confirm ov happened.

Welcome nitnat. So sorry you are in the club nobody wants to be in. Some people in here have got pregnant the cycle after their m/c, some have been not much longer.

Mrs I normally get a 2 day surge of LH, then a temp dip the day after then my temp starts going up the day after that so I think that I ovulate the day after my LH surge.

Today is 6 months exactly since we lost Rowan. I guess that is the end of my 6 months of higher fertility. I have kept myself busy this evening by packing Mum's brithday presents for sending and doing the costing for that wedding cake I made last month.

My absolutely beautiful three year old niece after IVF after 8 years trying. Good luck Op!

Morning all- I think I'm officially in my tww now. Temp has had a sharp 2 degree rise this morning when I got up an hour ago so looking likely that I ov'd yesterday or in the night. Hopefully done enough to maximise my fertile window. DD2 heard me get up for work at 5.45 and followed me downstairs so I'm dreading the grumpy rage of 6 year old when I pick her up from school later!

Brenna if you don't mind me asking, how far along were you when you lost Rowan? I have to say the pain never goes away but it gets easier to live with with each passing year. When Bradley and Mason were born, I looked at every perfect part of them. Their fingers, toes, their little mouths and I don't know why but I opened their mouths and looked at their perfect gums and their tongues. Now I don't remember how bad I felt after giving birth but I remember how perfect they were. A few years ago I had their names tattooed on my foot so they can always walk with me where ever I go and had a necklace made which hangs on my heart with their names on it, it made me feel a lot better that I had something with me all the time. I have a memory box with lots of little things that remind me of my pregnancy that I look at every so often. Sending you hugs hun, it's really really hard.

Brenna I am so sorry. Hope you are ok and have lots of comfort around you. Sending you lots of thoughts.

Congratulations Jo Amazing news. Hope it all goes brilliantly.

I had my bloods on Wednesday - they had to take 10 viles which was pretty intense as my vein disappeared half way through so they had to try with another vein. Anyway they are done and I'll have the results in a week, and based on what they find I'll be put on a number of drugs for the next time we get pregnant, however that happens and whenever that happens.

I think you and me Brenna must be on a similar cycle. I am 9dpo and had some symptoms a few days ago but they have disappeared now. I had my assistant's leaving party last night and thought f*ck it, I'lll have a drink tonight as I have v little hope that we got lucky this cycle. So I had a few glasses of wine and today I have got the worst headache. I never get headaches from booze. Stupid me.

I hate this waiting. I feel like my whole life has been on hold for years while we wait to see if we can have a baby. It is my best friends birthday tonight and usually I'd be so excited about seeing everyone but I can't face it. Nobody really understands and I am tired of putting my happy face on. I have to do that all week at work, and have very little left in me in the evenings and weekends.

Sending you all lots of love and thoughts, whatever situation you are in.

And welcome nimnat - look after yourself. It will get easier.

I've just done and opk when I got home from work and it's still positive! Has anyone else had a 3 day surge before? Couldn't get a positive now it won't go away! Thought I'd ov'd last night maybe not.

Kate hope you're ok

Hello ladies. Just came on to catch up to discover you've started a new thread and got to page three already! Busy thread!

I keep thinking of that saying about the definition of madness being doing the same thing and expecting different results, that's how I feel this month! Feeling positive with OV due probably tomorrow (again) then will start 2ww (again). Trying not to focus on it too much lest I do go completely mad!

Congratulations JoMalones!

Amy - are you sure you are not pregnant already? I've heard of people getting positives on opks when pregnant but never a three day surge.

Loki definitely not pregnant! I found out I was pregnant last time with an opk while I was miscarrying. Apparently it's quite common. It happens when your body tries to ovulate and struggles a bit so creates a second huge surge to complete it. Feel really heavy and tender in the ovary region and feels like it's all bouncing around. Really quite painful.

Keep Doing the did until it's gone

Flourishing I'm planning to but the pain is really bad I don't know if I can

Amy that sounds so painful. You poor thing. Can painkillers help? Or a hot water bottle?

How is everyone tonight?

I have sacked off my friends party for a night cuddled on the sofa. I've had bad stabbing pains in my tummy today and get all dizzy when I move around. I know I am not pregnant as I have a blood clot still left over from my previous MC but it feels like something is going on in there. I predict a very heavy AF in a week's time.

xx

That sounds unpleasant Amy. Your poor ovaries must be ready to explode. I was 11.5 weeks when I miscarried but had found out at 10w1d that he or she had died. I passed the sac intact with something in it, but it wasn't overly recognisable as a baby.

I can't count though. It is only 5 months so far.

The waiting is no fun Kate. Luckily I am monstrously busy at work right now, so the time is flying during the day.

Cough report for today - not as bad but I am still coughing a lot.

Hi IC glad you found us.

Thank you so much everyone, can we rename this thread so we all get BFPs?! Wishing you all luck for those that are trying.

Loki thank you, you are always so supportive. I do wish I had taken your advice and not tested until late as I had cramps yesterday and got v paranoid. Full of symptoms today but also full of cold.

I'm so happy to be here but so nervous too and not really celebrating. I did get the ovia app back which was a mistake as I just deleted it so when I reinstalled it, there were scan pictures etc from my last pregnancy

Welcome nitnat sorry you're here but everyone is lovely, supportive and so helpful.

Ouch kate and amy hope you've both got your feet up and feeling better soon.
