TTC after pregnancy loss. Thread 17. New Year, new hope for all!

[Primrose16]

Oops the other one got full before new one made. Kept the same name to make it easier to find.

I was going to ask the same. Where are you in your cycle @pumpkinpatch000

Hi @Llondbol it's very re-assuring to hear someone else has experienced it too, it's so odd!

it's been 4 weeks since my MC and we have DTD so it's possible I could be pregnant. I've noticed some pregnancy symptoms but so many of the same symptoms mean different things i'm doubtful. Too scared to believe I could be that lucky to have fallen pregnant.

Oh I also should have added I think i'm 12 DPO.....

Snap @PumpkinPatch000 ! ERPC 31 Jan, started TTC once we got a BFN and temping indicates that I ovulated on 15 Feb. I'm currently 14dpo and 2 days late for AF according to my cycle before MC. It would be amazing if we were pregnant so soon, but a bit too good to be true? I tested today and it was negative so going to hold off and test on Monday which would be 18dpo and that's when I got my last BFP. Good luck!!!!

Sounds like we are in pretty much the same situation @Llondbol ! If i'm brave enough i'm going to test on Sunday at 15 DPO. Last time I got faint line at 14 DPO and strong line at 16 DPO so if I am pregnant it may show up then.

Yep that's how's feeling, too good to be true!

Good Luck too!

Thank you for your lovely words @PumpkinPatch000 and @PassTheAfterEights. I'm doing ok thank you. Have great support and have been off work for last 2 weeks so feel quite rested. Just need to find he motivation to go back to work without the prospect of having a Years maternity leave on he horizon! Good luck to both of you and all the other ladies on here.

So just got back from first acupuncture session. I found it really nice and relaxing. I don't understand how it all works really but when she moved the needles I could feel it much deeper in my body, it was pretty crazy! Apparently that was my chi. She didn't say much afterwards beyond that I responded well to the needles and that coming before ovulation was a good opportunity. So fingers crossed!!!
Oddly when I did an opk tonight the line was basically non existant after a pretty clear one this morning- although not a positive yet. Has this happened to anyone else?

@Boboelephant so I had totally the opposite. I went to the chiropractor (about back pain no even fertility) and she knows I was ttc after MC cos I wanted to check it was safe. And she did acupuncture and that evening I got a positive opk that even and have ovulated by the following morning! So maybe you've ovulated since the session or maybe it's postponed it a few more days! 🤞

@Cakelaur thanks. I did the opk as soon as I got home- only about 15 min later so don't think I could have missed it. There's a faint line this morning- slightly darker than last night- so I guess it's still coming. Hope I get my pos later today!

Hi everyone! Just checking in!

I had opaque cm on wed and then my cbfm said peak yesterday with watery cm so I'm ovulating! So exciting! I'm particularly excited because I have pcos and even though I managed to get my periods within the normal range at 32 day cycles pre mc I have had 7 months a while ago without a period and I was really worried that would happen again post mc so super excited. Cycle does seem to have gotten a bit longer. I think it's 34 days now but that is still in the normal range!

Can't make the most of it though because DH is away with work!

But happy! Very proud of my poor body!

Hope you are all well?

@Boboelephant this is happening me this cycle - first time ever 😪. I got nearly positive opk on tuesday & high on cb by wednesday line was gone, i had ultrasound on wed & hadnt ovulated & ive had no bbt rise - i still have very weak lines on opk but had ewcm yesterday. Still no temp rise, not sure what is going on.

That's ok @maxiflump1 i'm glad you have lots of support around you and have had time off work to rest. I hope everything is okay when you go back :) x

@boboelephant sounds like it went well. Hopefully you will ovulate soon! I’m looking forward to my session next week...even if it just makes me feel more relaxed!

@peachesarenom glad your body is getting into a good routine. Hopefully next month your DH will be there to make use of it!

@keepinghopeful I find it quite stressful some months trying to figure everything out. Especially if it doesn’t follow its normal routine. As long as you keep regularly dtd you will hopefully catch 🤞

Hi ladies just checking in.
So had fairly positive opk the last couple of days. Dtd last night and this morning I had a temp rise. I'm hoping that we dtd at a good time! Will try again tomorrow I think, fingers crossed!

@peachesarenom so happy that your body seems to be getting into a rhythym! GL for next month when hubby is home. 🤞
@keepinghopeful it's so confusing isn't it!? I hope we both ovulate soon! I might need to start temping too as I'm just going off the opks and they don't seem to make sense to me! Faint line this morning but loads of EWCM. Third day of it and more than yesterday. I think I'm just going to dtd every day and hope for the best!
@Claire138 thanks! I liked it and her and she thinks she can help my back pain too but I told her that can wait for next time- just focus on the baby making for now! 🤣
Fingers crossed @ weasledee!!

So this was yesterday morning, last night and this morning. The not yet positive line basically disappeared and then a little something today but not as dark as yesterday. But my body feels like it's gearing up for ovulation. Weird!!

@Boboelephant & @Claire138 im going up the walls as i didnt ovulate last month when thought i did going by opk & bbt but day 21 test said i didnt & now this month is going askew im ready to throw in the towel 😭

@keepinghopeful I totally get the frustration! Part of me wonders if I’m monitoring it too much and that I should just dtd regularly and try and relax but that really isn’t my nature. Are you doing the day 21 test again this month?

@Claire138 i know i like to know whats happening in everything in life & find this so hard as cant plan it. Yeah I am which is why im monitoring especially this month to know when to book in to go, im now on cd 15. Meanwhile friends all around me preg without even trying & i can barely look at them as just puts me in bad form

@keepinghopeful I can completely relate to everything you are saying! I hate feeling like this! I want to be happy and excited with them but I just have a big gutted pit in my stomach. I don’t know anyone personally who has suffered from mc, everyone around me seems to find it so easy. Just makes me feel like something is wrong with me. But no point spiralling in negativity...we can do this 💪🤞

@Claire138 totally 🤞😬😬😬 lol

I've got strong AF pains today :( I think i'm going to be out this month after all and feeling very sad about it.

@pumpkinpatch000 - isn’t this your first AF since your MC? I know I felt the same - very sad that we’d not caught the first month (and that meant it was unlike you we’d have baby this year!) but I also tried to see the positives that the arrival of AF meant that I’d definitely ovulated and that my body wasn’t ready to conceive again. I know that’s not much comfort right now - but every little helps right. X

To be honest ladies, when we lost our baby last year at 14 weeks I was lucky enough (so I thought) to get pregnant straight after. That pregnancy ended at 6 weeks, I don't think my body was over the earlier trauma. Sometimes I think a little break gives our bodies time to recover..... x

@dulwichdays yep it will be the first one so very early days. Just adds salt into the wound though, especially as like you say if we aren't lucky this month then we won't be having a baby this year. Every little does help :) although i didn't think having your period always mean ovulation definitely happened. it's all so confusing!

@weasledee I guess it's your bodies way of saying it wasn't ready that time not that it makes it any easier.
