I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm guessing that you'd ovulate in about 3 days time, if your period started 11 days ago. Best wishes to you OP.

I'm sure others will be along with good advice, just wanted to say sorry for your loss

thank you for getting back to me. I just was not sure if I will ovulate as I'm still bleeding 11 days in to my first period. I don't want to replace my daughter I just no the only way I'm going to feel better is to be pregnant agen. and I'm praying it happens fast. to be honest I don't no if me having a peroid means I'm ovulating agen and can u ovulate why I'm still bleeding.

Sorry for your loss sweetheart.

You shouldn't usually ovulate while on a period. It's a good idea to let your body go through a few cycles to get back to 'normal'. Usually ovulation is about day 14 of your cycle (day 1 strata the first day of your period). Have you tried any OPK testing sticks? Maybe invest in a pack of them (can get real cheap from amazon). The best person to talk to is your GP.

thank you for your reply. I've lost faith in the doctors as none of them listened to me why I was pregnant till it was to late.so I don't really want to see a doctor at the moment. I've been testing the last few days and the line is very faint so i think that means I'm not fertile. my midwife said your very fertile after birth but I guess not

Sorry for your loss. It can take a couple of months for your body to settle down, my daughter was stillborn in January and my consultant said it can take a little while. My period returned earlier than yours but did take a couple of cycles to be normal. It's hard when you are in this bit but listen to your body, you need to look after yourself too.

I am now pregnant again, conceived on my 4th cycle.

First of all so sorry for your loss. Can I strongly recommend you go and talk to someone before you try for another baby, I understand what you are saying, I miscarried and that was my instinct too but your body needs to restock on essential vitamins and minerals to give your baby the best, take supplements, get yourself physically and mentally ready because the emotions will be a crazy rollercoaster, SANDS are excellent because their members are all in the same position, and I've worked for a counselling service and we supported lots of women in your position through subsequent (successful) pregnancies but they told me it was really helpful to have someone to talk to.

Take care of yourself, it's a huge loss

bluebelltulip I'm so happy for you that's amazing I wish you all the best. I'm in contact with sands my breifment midwife said it's okay to try agen right away. all my bloods are back normal as I had my bloods done at 7 weeks postpartum. my little sister had a stillborn at 39 weeks and got pregnant right away she now has a healthy little boy. I've had 2 other pregnancys I have a 16 and 14 year old daughter's. I'm 35 so I feel like my clock is ticking all so. and I can't be happy till I'm pregnant.

Thank you @charelle212 sorry your sister has also been through this. I knew being pregnant again would be hard emotionally but it has been harder than I anticipated. Take support where you can.

thank you @bluebelltulip I understand it's going to be hard but I just no that's what I have to do. you no when you just no. that's how I feel. and my partner is super he's the best I really have good surport of him. me and him are both on the same page we both no what we want. and I'm willing to go threw any thing to have my arms and heart full like there ment to be. I no you understand what I'm saying.

OP posts:

Bluebelltulip · 01/08/2019 11:03

I do understand and it's good both of you feel the same. It was the same for us. One way I look at it is that we wanted a baby to bring home and our feelings on that haven't changed, the baby that died will always be missing from our family and nothing can change that but hopefully we can still bring another baby home. I have a toddler too and wanted her to have a sibling to grow up with.

charelle212 · 01/08/2019 11:47

@bluebelltulip yes it was the same for us I'm happy to hear your partner is supporting you aswell. I understand what you mean I felt the same to be honest I brought my baby home for 7 days till the funeral. it was so hard to let her go but I no I had to. can I ask did you have a long peroid your first period there isn't much online it's just saying they can be heavy and pain full mine isn't painfull or heavy it's just dragging on now

OP posts:

Bluebelltulip · 01/08/2019 12:00

My first one was longer than normal but not as long as yours, my second was very painful and heavy but normal length.
