TTC after miscarriage - January 2020

[MilsCookie]

Hello all (and late Merry Christmas!)

Looking for TTC buddies in a similar situation! 👋

In September I accidentally became pregnant. We had planned to begin TTC in Jan 2020 anyway, so we were really excited. Sadly, at my 12 week scan on 25th Nov, I found out I had had a missed miscarriage and the baby had stopped growing at about 9 weeks. The week that followed was one of the most traumatic in my life, having failed medical management and then an ERPC. All this happened whilst I was in another country.

Since then my recovery has been okay but all I can think about is wanting to be pregnant again and have been hoping and praying that my period returns soon so that we can officially start trying.

This morning I have had brown discharge and cramping, so it does feel like AF is on the way. So I guess I am going to count today as CD1 of my first official TTC cycle?

I wondered if anyone had been through anything similar and if so I am so sorry for your loss and what you had to go through. It really is a horrendous time. 💐

Anyone want to join me? 💕

@StephyRose just SO happy for you lovely 😊 and it gives me a lot of hope!! 🌈 fingers crossed this thread is a lucky one - so far it seems to be! ✨

@didslysquiddlydoo I think I am 2dpo but I’m not confident in when I ovulated so tbh I have no idea. My cycles are usually around 33-34 days and according to Flo AF is due on 28th Jan. So I’m planning on waiting for AF to show up before I test! If nothing by 31st Jan I will do one. That’s soooooo far away though and January is soooooooo long!!!! 😩

I think I’m 2dpo too but slightly shorter cycle
of 28 days so AF due 25 Jan it’s going to be a long 10day wait!

Bought more seven seas pre conception vitamins today in the hope I won’t need them!! Yep I know no logic in that statement!! 😂

@didslysquiddlydoobu
just wrote an answer but something weird happen so sorry if it’s a duplicate
No 😅 we decided to do a frer tomorrow at 10dpo - and then test every two days!

No cramps today and not feeling pregnant.
Just nausea.
So confused?
When are you testing??

Stephy gave me hope though. Bit too much 😅

Can anyone help who is familiar with OPK? I was due to ovulate (according to Ovia app) on the 13th. I gave up on the OPK as they seemed to get a little darker then lighter again. I should be 3DPO if going by cycle pre miscarriage. I decided to use my last OPK after not testing for 2 days and I got this. Does this mean it’s peak and I’ll be ovulating in the next 12-24 hours? I’m so confused with all this now

Can I join please, this is our 1st month ttc after a mc on 1st January, great way to start 2020!!
I've been using opk sticks & got peak result today (I think), my cycle is every 24 days.

Sorry just checked. Ovulation should have been on the 11th so should be 4DPO

So happy for you @StephyRose 💕 fingers crossed for a healthy sticky baba

I would say that’s positive @GemLou88 definitely DTD just in case

Quick update from me! It was my period on Saturday, 6 days early!! Just finished today so back to square one 😩 my periods are so strange and unpredictable since the ectopic!

My TA announced she was pregnant in work today! I’m happy for her deep down but I want it for myself too.

I’m keep fingers and toes crossed for everyone else in their TWW ☀️😘

I’m out 😢 My body was playing cruel tricks on me. I started spotting yesterday, which I’ve never had in my life, and then AF turned up in the night. I’m absolutely gutted. I just want to be pregnant again 😔

Good luck to everyone else waiting / testing soon - crossing fingers for all of you 🤞🏻❤️

@Terribleimagination I’m so sorry.... I know that awful feeling when AF arrives. 😔
Give yourself a day or two to be sad and then you’ll be back on the bike again ready to try again in this cycle 👍🏼
Maybe your body just needed to re-boot once more!

Hugs

Morning ladies, I took another test. Can you see a faint line or am I imagining it?

@TerribleImagination that’s so rubbish. I hate how our body does that. I hope you’re OK. Fingers crossed for this cycle. X

@becsterG yesss i see it!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

To the ladies who got AF... sorry to hear.
That sucks! Hope you are not feeling too crap today... sending hugs xxx

Waves at @Anny27, how are you feeling about things this month? We are about the same days post ovulation I think. The next week I'll be wishing and hoping!

Sorry to hear you've got AF, @DisneyMummySince2010 @TerribleImagination

@BecsterG I can see a very faint line in the second picture. FC it gets darker tomorrow!!

My OPKs are getting lighter, so I reckon I'll ovulate today or tomorrow. Going to start counting dpo from Saturday...

Thanks ladies. I’m only 10DPO so fingers crossed it sticks x

@BecsterG yes I can see a faint line. Hopefully it's a keeper!

I'm due AF today ladies, I'm still feeling dizzy/lightheaded which started again last night and have back ache. Backache is usually my sign of AF but never been dizzy/lightheaded before!! I'm going to buy some hpt today on my lunch. If i don't come on at all, I'll test tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞

Good luck @mlax You’re so patient waiting.

I’m not due until Sunday. I have zero patience.

@toomanyleggings fingers crossed. Not believing the tests I’ve done until I get a positive digital. Then only time will tell if this is a keeper.

So sorry to those that are out for this month - hoping you get a bit of a break from the stress / anxiety in the first half of your cycle and fingers crossed for lots of positives next month!!!

@BecsterG can definitely see that line - it's looking good... everything crossed for line progression over the next few days!! Do you plan to test daily or every other day?!

I caved and took a test this morning... only 8dpo 🙈 positive is I could see a very faint line...
I don't know why I tested though as I already felt quite positive there was going to be a squinted (and it's a real squinter - I'll attach a photo but even harder to see in a picture) but I'm more worried about having my third chemical in a row.. I should have waited!! I'll definitely be testing daily now in the hopes of seeing that line progress!!!

@mlax you are so unbelievably patient / sensible to have managed to hold out until AF due!! Fingers crossed for you xxxx

Thanks for the love ❤️ This really is a lovely thread of people to go through all this with!

I’m consoling myself with an obscene amount of Nutella on crumpets! Hopefully AF will be done and dusted in a few days and I can get cracking with the OPK’s next week.

@BecsterG That does look promising!! Crossing everything for you lovey.

For those of us who aren’t lucky this month, are we doing another thread for Feb??

Can't work out if I'm gearing up to ovulate? What do you ladies think? Bottom one is a pregnancy test, middle one is an ovulation test and top is a digital ovulation test. Feel like my bathroom is a science lab lol

@BecsterG oh I'm not! I've tested for days 😂 but I've been testing too early with ERPRs! Now it's the day I feel like it would be more accurate.

P.S I can definitely see a faint line in the 2nd picture!!! Eekkk! 💗💗

@TerribleImagination I hope so! This thread helps me stay sane! X

@toomanyleggings if the bottom one is a pregnancy test, then that's a positive to me!? Therefore your ovulation sticks will be picking up for hcg hormone?!!! 😀

@mlax I’ll have a go at setting one up! Never done it before, wish me luck 😆

@mlax the pregnancy test is so light though. Couldn't see it really until it had dried
