TTC after miscarriage thread #4

[InsufficientlyCaffeinated]

Hello ladies. I noticed the last thread filled up, seemed to happen all of a sudden! Hoping you find your way here (prepares for tumbleweed)

For reference here's thread 3 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2593041-TTC-after-miscarriage-lucky-thread-number-3

All those we are trying to conceive a child after miscarriage are welcome here, whether it's your first or you already have DC

Good luck ladies. Let's have some BFPs, we've earned it

Mrs creamy cm is a really good sign x

Hello everyone. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine! I'm now 23 days post medical mc so hoping something might happen soon. I've changed my CD1 on Fertility Friend to the day the sac came away, but keeping Ovia as my original (day i had the treatment) to compare the two, so by FF i'm day 19.

I got my first faintish opk today; theyve been almost positive since my bfn last week, which is nothing like my last successful cycle when they were vv faint apart from the two positive days.

Fourth day of temping, but chart is very spiky due to the weekend and alcohol intake so interested to see how it will shape up for a normal working week.

Baby bomb at work today. I would have been starting to tell people around now so feeling a bit raw about people announcing at the moment. Staying positive and being patient!

Mrs that must be tough! Like everyone i guess i'm hoping above all that i'll be pregnant again by my due date, or at least by Christmas to take the edge off the date. I think brenna has the right idea though, and i might try and book some nice things for that month to try and keep it as positive as it can be.

I so hope we get some luck on here soon. How long until your test day?

I hope i do ovulate as if i don't it'll be bloody ages til AF!! Once every couple of years, i have been known to have 50-odd day cycles which i can only assume were anov (pre ttc). I shall be demented!

My bleeding is pink again so I think af is on her way although I've not had a bleed-free day yet I'm hoping this will be a fresh start

Lots of messages to catch up on!

Brenna sounds like you had a lovely time with your husband... Dtd for the fun of it must have been good

smiling that's great af has ended.. Good luck and fingers crossed! I'm so terrified of getting pregnant again but also we have to keep thinking that next time everything will be fine... Even if it's not we have to be hopeful and positive.

Amy sounds like you're being really relaxed about thing. My boyfriend told me to chill out last night and said stop taking OPKs! Ha. Think he would rather we just dtd all the time rather than just when I'm in my fertile week!
The cm is a good sign... Sounds like you ovulated too given the temp rise?

Good luck to everyone in TWW... I'm assuming I'm in mine now although don't think I ovulated. Feeling very bloated and gross today... Could be from eating 8 biscuits at work!

Thanks Amy

Brenna that sounds a lovely weekend, good for you for making the most of it. inspiration to the rest of us

Hopeful hope you get a reply real quick from the consultant. Keep us posted.

Amy I think hormones post miscarriage can make us erratic but had your feeling good at the mo!

AF due today and I thought I had very light spotting yesterday but appears not. Had terrible hormonal headaches last few days though and lots of strong cramps yesterday and very slight cramps today. I'm defo out though as I did a couple of tests couple of days ago and there wasn't even the faintest of faintest lines!

Think I'll start taking fish oils and vitamin D again as they are meant to help balance hormones.

Aww backache is a killer. Where abouts are you in your cycle? Yeah I used to be good taking them before and I was so surprised when I feel pregnant first cycle. I take the Eskimo 2 fish oils and vitamin d drops by Nutri (can buy both on Amazon or direct from
Nutri). The vitamin d is great, just take 10-15 drops once a week !

Mrs what is the fertility cleanse?? I feel like I need to do something different!

My temp rose by 0.36 today... It had been stable at about 36.1 for four days... What does this mean? It's cd19 for me today.

Ooh yes I'm going to do the fertility cleanse too. It's no coffee, dairy, alcohol, no white bread, sugar etc isn't it? Did it make you feel better?

I'm CD24 and had a meltdown last night. I can feel AF is on its way, bad cramps and bloating, but my DH refuses to accept it and keeps telling me to stay positive. I know why he is saying that and I love him so much but I know my body and just feel so drained by endlessly being positive and calm. Anyway on a positive note I've got an appt with my consultant next Wednesday night to talk about our options so hopefully we will go armed into next month with a plan and new hope.

How is everyone else? Xx

That could be that you ovulated yesterday, JPEG but you need the rise to last at least 3 days to be sure. Just keep testing. It takes a month or two to learn what your cycle looks like (here's hoping you don't get the chance to find out ).

So sorry Nails. I hope that resets everything and you have a proper cycle this time round.

Glad you are feeling more relaxed Amy.

Last night I planted broad beans in the allotment. Tonight is climbing at the climbing wall. Tomorrow I am going to pot up the last of the tomato seedlings.

JPEG I think it could mean ovulation happened yesterday as Brenna said.

I still have lots of cm, dtd last night. Have some pressure in my left side, temp is stable but has risen slightly, not enough to show I've ovulated yet though. Have checked my cervix today, it's really high, soft and a bit open also very slimey sorry tmi! Going to dtd until my temp goes up and it draws me a cover line then chill.
Poor DH last night was gasping, it was so hot in our bedroom. He text me earlier to say I've damaged him, his knee is killing him while he's working. Sure he'll managed to dtd again though

Hope everyone is doing ok too...

Don't break him completely.

Ok thanks... Unfortunately didn't dtd last night as boyfriend was exhausted!! I did an OPK but it was negative. My cervix definitely feels soft. Think next month I will know what's going on a bit more. Just want this cycle to be over.

brenna sounds like some good activities have been planned! I want to start planting in the garden this weekend too!

Fertility cleanse sounds good... So no caffeine or alcohol. No white bread. No refined sugar. No low fat dairy... Anything else?? Think I'll try it!

It sounds utterly joyous doesn't it jpeg!! If it works though, I'm game...

This afternoon has been such an embarrassing one! I have never had so much gas! Sorry that's really tmi! I was standing up teaching a load of sixth formers!!! Luckily no one heard! I hope this is at least a positive symptom!

Big fat bfn although I'm a day late. I tested just in case as I'm not usually late. Had lots of cramping and feel like AF is on its way.

The test is so confusing because the raised bit by the word max looks like a line but it's just where it joins on. If that makes sense!

Does anyone else use these Amazon tests? I think ill throw them away and just buy as and when I require them. Don't like peeing in a pot !
