TTC after miscarriage thread #6

[jodiebee664]

New thread for all navigating the bewildering world of trying to conceive after a miscarriage. Whether you have dc or are ttc your first, all are welcome here. We share the positive, the negative and the down right confusing.

Here's link to previous thread...www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2657346-TTC-after-miscarriage-thread-5?noti=1#62460035

Ha ha brenna that's exactly how I feel!!! OH is out but we dtd last night and as soon as he is home I'll be jumping on him!! It's made me feel so much more positive. I honestly think not working (I'm on school hols) has de-stressed me and that has helped my cycle. But who knows!

Brenna that's so funny!! You best get busy jpeg...

Sorry to hear that AG . Be kind to yourself and have a couple of lovely glasses of wine.

jpeg good news that your cycle looks to be settling. Mine is different since the MC so much trickier to predict. I too got excited about the quality of my EWCM last week - I think I even congratulated myself on it out loud. Should I be disturbed by my weirdness!?

Not at all newshoes!! I was ecstatic today about my ewcm today! It's been nearly 5 months and I'm so desperate for my cycle to be back to normal! Looks like I'll ov tomorrow which is cd20 so getting there! Pre MC it was cd13. I hope your cycles settle soon.

get busy jpeg ;) good luck!!

Good morning everyone. I miscarried a week ago and the bleeding has now stopped. Is it safe for me to TTC again? When am I expected to ovulate?

Hi Lizzie, yes it should be safe. Hard to say re ovulation but it can happen and you could conceive within this cycle. good luck

Hi im due on tomorrow tested with first response and got a negative so think thats me out for this month :(

You're not out until af shows sugar... Good luck!

Thank you jpeg your right. Im so impatient i couldn't wait until af was late. Now im dissapointed and im not even sure if i should be due on tomorrow because ive only had one period since my mmc and that came 30 days after i had the d and c but 29 days after bleeding stopped. So im just assuming i will have a 29 day cycle this month aswell.x

Do you know when you may have ovulated? Maybe give it a few more days and if no show them test again. Your cycles may be different post MC.

Can anyone describe what ovulation pain feels like? I've never had it but this evening I was in agony! I had shooting type pains for about an hour but quite dull then it got really bad and had to bend over, now it's back to the shooting pain but not as bad. It's just in from my left hip.

My ovulation pains feel like that but i have them on and off for around 5 days a month. They were most intense on day 15 so i think thats the day i ovulated. I was using digital opks from day 10 to 14 which were negative but the line was pretty dark on day 14 but i ran out so tested with some cheap ones on day 16 and there wasnt any line at all.

JPEG - just in from left hip sounds like a great description. Sometimes mine feel like I have really bad trapped wind or like something is scratching against my hip almost. Mine comes and goes for around 5 days and then my temp rises. Good luck.

Ok thanks everyone... Really want this to be our month. Have managed to dtd 4 times since Monday.. So fingers x!

Fingers crossed for you jpeg

I'm sure I havnt ovulated this month, should be 3dpo but never got any ewcm at all, our 2 year old hasn't been sleeping well either so havnt DTD quite as much as normal either. Also quite stressed as we're putting in a formal complaint against the maternity unit at our hospital related to DDs death after we tried an unofficial complaint and they either forgot about us or deliberately ignored us which has made the whole thing worse. On the whole I'm not feeling hopeful that this is our month at all!

Hi everyone! Been lurking these past few weeks.... Congratulations to everyone that got BFP's! I wish you all the best :)

I'm currently in a lot of pain, not sure why, it's a very intense low pain front and back. Any ideas on what it might be? Due on a week on Sunday, feeling nervous and excited but not getting my hopes up :(

cookie could it be implantation as you're a week from af?? I hope it is!

alb sounds like you're going through a tough time. Must be hard going through a formal complaint, did they not treat you very well? Sorry if you've said before but I must have missed it. Hope it all gets sorted in the end

Jpeg28 I'm not sure, what is implantation supposed to feel like?! I was in agony with it last night but it's calmed down a lot today and have had a hot water bottle on it. Had a lot of tummy pain though on and off this week, sometimes it feels like period like cramping and bad back pain so I don't know what it is...

Also forgot to mention I've had severe bloating and crazy Mood swings! :(

I'm v confused about my bleeding. Last month it was just like a heavy period, this time round it's been hardly one day of period-heavy followed by 2 days of spotting. Its also quite pale, almost raw salmon colour, & thin. My temperature's dropped so I'm under no illusion that I'm still pregnant, just a little concerned that its not all coming out & will get infected or something! Off on holiday today too so it's not the best timing!

cookie I have ever had implantation cramps either, it just seems the right time
For it if af is due in a week. I hope
You're feeling better this morning.

ag I don't have any advice for you I'm afraid but I hope maybe a doctor can shed some light. Have you had follow up scans? Have a lovely holiday too!

No, I was wondering if I should see someone but I assumed they'd just shrug & say these things happen. Maybe I'll go when I get back if I've not died from an infection by then! Are they likely to do anything after 2 chemicals? Don't want to waste NHS resources!

AG I had a weird cycle after my chemical pregnancy in that I ovulated a full week later than usual, but I didn't have any unusual bleeding.

It sounds to me as though a trip to the GP is in order. I wouldn't have thought that a chemical could lead to 'retained products' as there aren't any products at that stage, just a sperm and egg that have met (that are minuscule) and have implanted.

I very much doubt you would get a referral at this stage (I've had one chemical and then one MC at 11 weeks and don't tick the boxes for referral yet), but it would be worth a chat with the GP in case they can suggest anything.

Chemical pregnancies are very very common, it's just that with rife early testing nowadays we know about them whereas before we never would have considered ourselves pregnant unless we had missed a period.

Hi all, hope you're all ok...

Have to say congratulations to purple & Mrs wishing you the best of luck with your pregnancies.

I've come on here to check out and say goodbye to you all.
My husband and I have decided we are separating after 15 years together. We are making each other miserable. The last few months have totally broken our relationship. I love him and always will and I'm grateful for the children we already have, I'm happy with that now and don't want to carry on trying.

Thank you all so much for your support over the last 6 months, I think I would have driven myself insane with worry if I didn't come here to you ladies.

Good luck to all of you, I'm sure you'll all have healthy babies in the end. I'll pop by to have a look out for bfp's.
