TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

[L1zz13]

New thread 🐧🐧

Hi ladies I've found you. How are you all today?

@YellowDaffodils86 do you have any other symptoms either way?

@Mistymeow try to keep feeling positive. Miracles can and do happen and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you get yours xxx

@Sictransitgloria so sorry for all you've been through. I hope you can find a good care provider next time around.

@RedRobin7 don't worry yourself, the alcohol won't transfer for the first few weeks of pregnancy apparently so you're good to go!

TTC really does make you crazy. Despite having a temperature drop and slight dark brown discharged today - I’m still googling and thinking I might be pregnant. Clearly not! I just wish I could switch my brain off to it all....!

Hi all!
Just popping in to say hi on the new thread

We MAY need a new roll call so we can all see who's at where- what do you think?

Sorry to all the new ladies who are joining!
There is so much knowledge and kindness in this group so you've come to the right place.

Sorry to everyone who got caught out by AF - such a bitch!

I am still lurking- I need my daily fix of this group! Really hoping we all get to have our happy healthy rainbow babies as easily as possible. Baby sparkle dust to all

💖

For some reason I'm not getting notified when new posts go up on here.

Hi @KnitKitty & @RedRobin7

Nice to see you both here! How have you both been doing?

Yup waited for the first AF post mc and started trying again. Feeling ok about it I think. Still have up & down days but & know going through it again will be hell but you don't win if your not in the game ultimately I guess so have to keep at it! Physically things seem back to normal now at least - think I ovulated about last Thursday/Friday ish according to EWCM & temp increase but not sure if all will be successful this time. Didn't DTD that many times this time as was keen not to get cystitis as I have both other times in case no antibiotics makes the difference!

@KnitKitty not sure about the EWCM but would have thought that though you may stop producing it once you ovulate you may have a day or so for it to work it's way out/change below I would have thought.
The being more fertile thing - I don't think there's anything physical cause identified scientifically as to why but there was research published recently- last year I think which showed that there were better outcomes - getting & staying pregnant plus for more healthy pregnancy in those who conceive in first 6 months and especially first 3 months post mc. So must be something to it hopefully!

@RedRobin7 hope your holiday has been relaxing & helped. I wouldn't worry about the alcohol- I really don't think it makes any difference to this early on if you were successful this cycle.

Good luck to those testing this week! 🤞for you all

Sorry tried so hard not to make it all bold with that post with the tagging but failed! 🙈

Hey can I join?

Mc sept 17 - major baby bombs every where as two friends from Work also pregnant at that time have now just both gone on mat leave

Hoping June is my month FX. for everyone xxx

@Lilimum4 i have pinching and pulling in and boobs a little tender, especially at sides.
Thats about it. I felt a bit nauseous this afternoon too but not sure about that one.
Im expecting AF to appear soon, but iv never had this before.

Wow this thread moves so quick! Just place marking at the moment as I'm on holiday and not had chance to catch up with everyone...I love that this thread has my "Just Keep Shagging" motto as a title

@dulwichdays i know how you feel. Been googling a lot the last few days.

@SerenaOverjoyed sorry AF came😔

So much going on, its hard to catch up.
Sorry all that have AF, always a nasty sad disappointment when waiting for a bfp:

Sorry to all those that are new, been a few. Sorry you find yourself on this thread. However hope you find support.

Good luck to those in fw, i hope its a good result at the end.

@KnitKitty I think CM can be a very good tracker but you do need to know your own patterns. I know now that I get EWCM at start of fertile week and 5 days later I ovulate. I've been tracking this with bbt and opks. Once I ovulate my cm very quickly changes. I read somewhere that cm is telling you that you are fertile and when the EWCM disappears that is when you know you have ovulated, not when it begins. As for the more fertile thing who knows? I thought it was because your body had just been pregnant so was primed and ready to go. Was 100% not effective for me so not the best advocate!
@YellowDaffodils86 still hoping for a miracle for you hun!
@Sictransitgloria and @WhitleyBae welcome and sorry for your losses.

@YellowDaffodils86 sounds promising hun. I'm really hoping this is your month and I'm crossing fingers and toes for you

Love the title of this thread JKS all the way!

Opk/ovulation gurus...I'm using Internet cheapies and have been since 8th may despite continued bleeding spotting since physical miscarriage end of April-all have been negative.

As I said on an earlier post what I'm guessing or hoping is AF arrived today-quite heavy bleeding and passing small clots/tissue most of the day but slowing now (only when I go to loo though-minimal on pad)...did my opk as normal just and weirdly there's now a line? Is that even possible? To ovulate during AF? Line isnt as dark as the control line but most of mine have had nothing at all line-wise...see pic... Anyone have any idea?

Thank you @Lilimum4 and @Boboelephant
A bit of pink spotting tonight, she will here by morning. At least can now get in with it.
So gutted i wasted a FRER this morning.
Spent so much on hpk and opks already!!!
On to June we go 🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

@YellowDaffodils86 it'll be our month fx positive thinking all the way

@YellowDaffodils86 sorry to hear af on the way, this WILL be your month. JKS and relaxing 😍💆‍♀️🧖‍♀️🧘‍♀️
@Boboelephant ⬆️ as above! 🤞

@Laney79 I read that the Progesterone dip at the start of AF can cause an LH surge, hence the positive opk. Pregnancy is also a common cause of positive opks when AF is due so worth a hpt if you have a cheap one lying around just to rule it out. I think it's more likely the Progesterone dip though if you're sure it's AF.

@Yellowdaffodils86 🤞🏻 it hasn’t arrived and that you get a BFP instead.

I’m back to CD1....let it all begin again. Just signed up to the clear blue trial (after my initial rejection after the MC - so it’s clearly been that long!!) so it’ll be interesting if I end up in the trial arm as I’ve never used OPk’s Before.

Sorry to see all the new joiners here, but this thread has been an amazing source of support for me over the last few months so hopefully it will for you to! X

Ahhh I didn't know that - thanks @HidCat - not certain it's AF as I never stopped bleeding/spotting after MC, but deffo not pregnant (we haven't made love since before we found out there was a prob in mid March ) and yesterday's bleeding was different to my normal AF, but it was heavy. With your info about progesterone dip that is another sign it is AF I guess. Thanks.

Morning ladies. Sorry to those who feel af is on the way.

As you all know id written myself off on friday when i started spotting but tested on sunday anyway just because i like to. Got a feint bfp but still werent sure. Well although not a great line still, this morning im sure!

@DBoo Great news! Most definitely a line!

@Laney79 just putting another thought out there. A few people on here have had ovulation bleeding after MC. I had bleeding for one day right before I ovulated and that would explain your positive opk. I read that the cervix contracts so it can push down any old blood still left over. If you are trying maybe time for jks. If not, maybe expect af in 2 weeks? Not 100% but another option?
@dulwichdays sorry af got you. Good luck on the trial! Here's to June!
@BabynameEdie thanks hun. Any hot tips for this month?? @Cakelaur remind me of everything you did? My protesterone cream is on the way!
@DBoo congratulations!!! Hope it's a sticky one for you!

Thank you. Straight on the cyclogone this morning (progesterone) and will start the baby aspirin tonight with my vitamins. Not going to let myself get too carried away feels like been here a million times before with nothing to show for it so back to reality for now haha!
