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 ❤️

@Hayleylou89 I am so so sorry for your loss 💐
There’s def a line on the top 2, have you had negative test since losing ur baby girl? Sometimes hormone left over can continue to give positive HPT for a while.

@milscookie

And yeah got early response frer and cb ones but didnt want to waste them ... so been testing with cheapies as if i have ovulated i dont even know how Many days dpo i am 🙈... first pregnancy i got a positive 10 days before my missed period which was so early x

Hi guys joining in this thread after my mc in November. This is our 2nd month of trying again. I normally ovulater on cd 16/17 but it looks like I hit my peak yesterday at Day 14 so it was a quick babydance this morning. Slightly confused as I also use the clearblue digital ovulation tests and they are negative 🤔

What do you guys think?

@MissSparkles81sorry for your loss.x
That’s very strange about the CB being negative cause that’s a strong peak. Do you BBT? If not then maybe keep doing opks for another few days just in case maybe?
Very confusing but hopefully u have ov and got it covered!!

@Hayleylou89 bless you... I am so so sorry. It's just an awful thing to go through at any stage but I imagine 12+ weeks once baby is fully formed it must be even more heartbreaking. Have they suggested what they can do to help with your next pregnancy? I have read that some women have a stitch put in their cervix or something to strengthen it? Did you have any signs of ovulation e.g. ewcm this month? I guess at it's your first cycle since mc and you don't know when you ovulated I would just keep either checking with cheap HCG tests every day and see if the lines get any darker. Your cycle may be a bit different this month and you also might not have ovulated yet so might be worth getting some OPKs as well? The first month is so hard cos you have no idea what's going on in your body. Really feel for you though hun. Hope you find some comfort on these boards. xxxxxxxx

@MissSparkles81 so sorry for your loss. I lost mine in November as well and on cycle 3 now (CD2). That does look like a positive OPK so I would say you'll probably ovulate 12-36 hours from then. Try and dtd tonight and tomorrow if you can!! Good luck! xxx

@milscookie yeah iv had cm and the little stabby ovulation pains iv been temping and opking and using my natural cycles app, my clear blue fertility machine is saying high fertility the past 4 days (4 white and blue tests below) and my app says high fertility too according to my temps but the cheap opks iv been using a few times a day alongside the fertility monitor are all over the place none are positive but they got a bit stronger here and there 🙈 all so confusing maybe i should just wait for AF and go from there x

@milscookie - (meant to say purple and white tests on the pic)

@Leok83

I thought i could see something on the top two and they are most recent - the bottom two are earlier in the week and def look negative ... will test again in a few days x x

@Hayleylou89 that sounds good so!!I’ve fingers crossed for you. You’ve been through so much so really hope it’s good news for you. xx

@milscookie definitely hope this is a positive sign for us!

We've kind of said if we're giving it our best shot we'll throw everything at it. So I will be doing opk's and we'll use preseed again as we conceived first time using it (although I've started to wonder if this helps swimmers that aren't that healthy but I think I'm being silly). I'll also be raising hips for 20minutes after 😂. Saying all that we've also said we don't want to obsess or let it take over our lives - wish me luck with that!! Are you doing anything?

I would love to join your WhatsApp group but I've had the riot act from my husband about giving my number out 🙄. I just flippantly said I might join a WhatsApp group and he's told me categorically no. He doesn't understand that I actually feel like I know you guys and would totally trust you with my number but he's in the police and super cautious about these things. I might rebel against him tho as I would love to have your support 🤔.

Wishing you all the luck too!

I'm really sorry to hear about your experience @Hayleylou89 I think you would have been due about the same time as me and I can't imagine what you have just been through. I really hope this happens quickly for you again soon and helps you heal from your experience.

Thank you everyone for the support! I will test again in the morning and 🤞🤞🤞🤞 I am absolutely boiling hot tonight which happened last pregnancy so I am hopeful.

@Fizzl thanks lovely 💗 my husband is totally the same about giving out my number haha! So hopefully you ladies stick around on here as well as I want to keep up with you all! @MilsCookie

@milscookie thanks lovely! Will keep you updated! Feel anxious it's a CP as it's so light and last time at 12dpo inhad a proper line

@Hayleylou89 I am so sorry for your loss lovely! So tragic at such a late stage. I was in the due in june group as well but lost my baby much earlier on at 11.5weeks mmc

@Anny27 hey I just saw your updates ! This is amazing news! There is hope 🌈👣

I am so happy for you , you must be so excited and bricking it obviously, but wow , lovely lovely news ♥️

@Anny27 it is looking like a BFP coming your way tomorrow 🥳 🤞🏽 Xx

My DP is the same about personal information and numbers... although i doubt maniacs stalkers would be on MC conversations 😁

But nvm :) mumsnet is good enough !!

@MilsCookie @DisneyMummySince2010 good luck for this cycle xx

CD7 here bleeding stopped and dtd every other day. Haven’t started opks yet this month will do probably at cd12

We arent using preseed this month as i also think it might help the not so good sperm :/
And also hasnt really worked so far!

So many BFP gives me hope!

@ChampooPapi @Ljm0101 my cycle buddies 👯 (creepy)
Any ovulation signs apart from these promising opks?

It’s @Michette btw ... this is my new name

For anyone Curious

Hey @SunnySideUp2020 I've been having a few twinges on my right side, going dtd tonight and start doing 2 opk's a day from tomorrow. Have you had any other signs? Xx

@MilsCookie thank you lovely and I am so sorry for your loss too. Hope this is your cycle. This is our 2nd month of trying again xx

Thanks @SunnySideUp2020 🥰 CD1 all over again! Thinking of trying acupuncture- has anyone else tried this or heard any good stories?

@Hayleylou89 and @MissSparkles81 so sorry you are both here, so many strong women picking up the pieces and starting again on here

@MissSparkles81 I remember reading reviews of the CB ones where people said they just didn’t work for them at all so it’s always possible it’s a faulty test

@Anny27 good luck for tomorrow morning! 🤞🤞

@Fizzl don't worry - I totally get it, but I promise we're not stalkers haha! It's just quicker than MN I suppose if you have a question and I feel like I've really got to know the 3 girls in the group which has been really lovely. This month I'll be doing OPKs again (first time last month) and using pre-seed. Taking the usual vitamins and hoping for 3rd time lucky!

@Anny27 don't worry - I'm sure I'll still be checking in on MN as I want to see how you're all getting on! And will definitely update when I hopefully get my next BFP :-) wishing you all the luck for a darker line tomorrow - it could have just been a later implantation and therefore a really faint line as your HCG levels weren't high enough. Are you going to go for any blood tests or early scans?

@SunnySideUp2020 - hey lovely, great new name! Thanks for setting up that thread - I had a read and it's given me a lot of hope! Fingers crossed this is our cycle :-)

Not what I was expecting this morning- BFN!
Thank you for all the well wishes but unfortunately I think it was a chemical - i had 3 tests with faint lines over past few days and then this morning at 13dpo literally a blank test 😭😭 nevermind, onwards and upwards. That'll teach me for testing early.

AF not arrived yet but due tomorrow

Oh no @Anny27, that’s so disappointing. And tests seemed so promising

I’ve been up half the night thinking I was going to test this morning but temp has taken a plunge and sore boobs are gone so no need for a test after all. Once again had almost fully convinced myself I was going to get a positive 😢😢
Not sure what to do next
