TTC after miscarriage - March 2020

[TerribleImagination]

Hey everyone 👋🏻

This thread is for anyone TTC or testing in March after a miscarriage.

So sorry if you find yourself here, but you’re in good company ❤️

Hello and welcome to all the women who have unfortunately found themselves back at square one trying again.

Is it just me or are Tuesdays a bit meh? Monday always seems really full of hope, a fresh clean week, a new beginning.

Then by Tuesday I want to scream 'I WANT A BABY!' at full throttle every hour or so, like some kind of phyciatric patient...

Just got to keep remembering, I'm only on month 5 since the miscarriage, I am lucky, I am healthy, I am fine.

But god. Tuesday are rubbish

Thank you @SweetpeaOrMarigold. I like positve stories to keep me optimistic. Looking forward to seeing people drop off each month.

@ChampooPapi I'm a big stupid mess again today, just huddled up feeling sorry for myself with period pain. I think it does us good though to wallow some days.

@SweetpeaOrMarigold today is terrible and should be treated accordingly with maximum wallowing and maximum self pity. Try not to get drunk though, it definitely doesn't help 🙄

All the love to you and big virtual cuddle 💜

You too 😘😘

I always find Mondays worse than Tuesdays but I do know what you mean!
I'm the same sweet pea, terrible period pains today when I usually dont get them, so feeling super sorry for myself. Had to drag myself into work today, I have got a bar of galaxy for later though. Put so much weight in since my MC which isnt helping

Tuesdays suck. For sure.
In fact any day not pregnant suck 😅

It’s funny because since starting the ttc journey time feels completely different.

The week leading up to ovulation is slow but not as slow as the week after ovulation.m (where 5 days feel like a month)

Then there is the week where you can test but also know it’s early and one day makes a big difference. You are from 11dpo hopeful it’s late implantation to 14dpo and a BFN very quickly.

Anyway it’s weird these times...
i am on CD10 and haven’t started opks in case of delayed ovulation again- to avoid the frustration!!

@champoopapi how are the opks looking?

@Anny27 we dtd every other day and from wednesday we will have a three days break just to make sure CM is helping as previously all the dtd gave me start of BV at ovulation...
We are basically having a break until CD14

How are you feeling?

Afternoon ladies! Well my period officially arrived today so onto cycle 3 ttc after the miscarriage. Not feeling too bad just a little meh about it all!

Hoping I ovulate earlier this month 🙌 as this was a 37 day cycle!

@sunnysideup2020 sounds like a good plan tbh! Hopefully this is your month!

@MilsCookie yeah it was gutting if I am honest. Haha love that you did a 10dpo test in the evening 🤣 I think i haaaaave to wait this month. But I genuinely like POAS haha!

@MOGMOGMOG85 when i was pregnant I took a random OPK and it was super positive so it does work.....just has to have enough hcg!

@champoopapi ahh yep this tuesday sucks especially as AF arrived 🙄🙄 but trying to stay positive. My and my DH are gonna go on holiday end of march now......not sure where with all this virus stuff :S

@SweetpeaOrMarigold @whiffle47 we may be cycle buddies this month

Sorry @EssJayyCee maybe dont use those tests again :(

Hows everyone else doing?

DECEMBER BABIES HERE WE COME!!!!!

Well today I’ve been at the docs as I’ve been constantly bloated since just after the miscarriage (2 months now!). Started getting pelvic pain last week, felt more in the left side, and weeing aaall the time and generally feeling irritated in my bladder 😖 Anyhoos, turns out I have a bit of a UTI! On antibiotics for 3 days, referred for scan to check for cysts. I’m smack bang in the middle of the 2WW, so at least it’s taking my mind off it 😂

Also not at all surprised I have a UTI, after 4 months of silly amounts of DTD, and waiting after with hips up 🙈

Oh the joys eh? 🤣

Just took these now when i got home from work. Supposedly 10dpo today.
Will do another digital test in a week or so, see if I get the weeks progression.
Just shit though, don’t feel like I can at all allow myself to even think about enjoying this or feel happy. The miscarriage has totally ruined and changed my outlook on pregnancy 😔

Looks like we are @Anny27 ! Wish we weren't of course haha! Oh well, probably healthier for me to have an AF and get it out given how awful it is.
I feel the same @SunnySideUp2020 time has taken on a whole new meaning. I honestly never thought I would be this person!
Ahhh @moominmiss they still look very positive to me! It's hard but you just have to keep your fingers crossed. This is a new pregnancy with nothing to say that things will go wrong this time.

Congratulations @Moominmiss I hope this is a wee sticky baby for you.

Im in agreement that the week is passing slow. I am on the countdown to a weeks annual leave on Friday aswell as being 3 days po. Time going sooooo slow!!

Thanks for the reply @MOGMOGMOG85, af came yesterday so CD1 again, needed a day to wallow! Have to remember that even 6 months is quick to conceive, but I want it now!

@Whiffle77 sorry af got you too, I missed your post while writing my own! I am doing the same list of things as you, so yeah here we go again...
I’m going to add daily exercise to my list, had kind of started last month and finding it good to have some physical/real to do during this waiting game.

I ate my weight in chocolate yesterday but... what’s done is done!

@SunnySideUp2020 I've totally forgot to do them the last two days, but my partner is away untill Thursday so I couldn't act on them anyway. I know they build up data but everytime I remembered I just thought 'oh screw it, I can't be arsed to faff around with that pot and wee again'

I'll try and test tomorrow and upload it for speculation, something for us all to look forward too 😅

@moominmiss sorry your stressing, it is really bloody hard isn't it 💜

@SunnySideUp2020 you’re so right about time, who knew there were different types of slow!

@TerribleImagination oh that's rubbish, get your head down and switch off from it all for a few days if you can. Big virtual hug

Can I join you all? Now in 2WW after wearing partner out and having miscarried in Jan.

@clarewithoutani I'm very similar timeline to you, miscarraige in Jan and just about to enter TWW (I think, it's been a very long cycle but according to OPK that's where I am about to be!) Good luck 🤞 when is AF due?

@shhhhs sorry to hear that. It really is the pits huh? Yes, I should be testing around 17th. How about you? First AF after miscarriage was a month and it lasted far longer than usual and was just like the miscarriage all over again...

@clarewithoutani 17/18th for me too 😁😁🤞🤞 I was lucky with my first period I think in the sense that it was just as a normal period. This first full cycle has been sooooo long though, I'm CD26 today and only just had ovulation, it's been long 😣

Fingers crossed indeed! I have an app and also used ov sticks/tests for the first time. The app is saying ovulation today but the sticks suggested it was over the weekend so it's all out of sync just now. Let's see...

@Moominmiss will keep everything crossed for a sticky bean for you.
Sorry for those AF has arrived 😒
I’m CD 15 after miscarriage and impatiently waiting for progress on my opks. Not much happening yet!
I work in a preschool and one of my parents came in yesterday stinking of fags and she’s quite heavily pregnant. I wanted to scream at her! Here I am desperate for a baby and all she’s bothered about is poisoning hers. I’m really struggling this week 🙁

@scrumdiddly123 that really annoys me. When I had to wait for my ultrasound scan I had to wait in the antenatal room. The amount of young girls stinking of smoke was so upsetting. It’s so unfair! I’ve had a difficult few today. Today should of been my 12 week scan. Eating my feelings instead 😩

As promised 🙄

I wish he was back today as I would be on it straight away, other signs are good but I know this isn't positive yet so everything crossed tomorrow onwards sex wise will be fine
