TTC after miscarriage - April 2020 part 2

[Ejb86]

I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

@dinosaur17 at least in a few days you will be back to be able to TTC again! Definitely keep positive for next month,,

@dinosaur17 so sorry! 😔 But like you said it's a fresh start and you can look ahead to your next cycle.
Is this your first cycle post mc? Sorry lost track of the thread x

Ok so this is wierd...my gums bled this morning brushing my teeth, has this ever happened to anyone and it be a sign of being pregnant or is it just the hormones causing this? X

Sorry to hear that @dinosaur17... not long until ur back In the tww, it will come round quickly x

@francis05 Thank you, yes first one so I know we’d have been really lucky to have caught again this cycle.

@Hayleylou89 keeping my fingers crossed for May. Goes so quickly doesn’t it. I know things are hard at the min as well as it’s so difficult to distract myself!
Not sure about the gums! Can you find any previous posts on here about it?
Keeping everything crossed for the both of you!

@dinosaur17 how many weeks after mc are you? Sorry for all the questions! I think my tests have been evap lines unfortunately, getting lots of cramps so not feeling positive, trying to gauge if af is on her way, I'm CD24.

@Hayleylou89 I've heard bleeding gums could be an early symptom, have you had any other symptoms?

@dinosaur17

Googled it (of course) and it is a sign but then someone said could just be progesterone so just thought id ask if anyone had it in a previous pregnancy and it be a sign xx

Yeah, nice new cycle and plenty of time for dtd so atleast thats one stress we dnt have which is no time to dtd ... as we have plenty.. unless u or ur hubby are key workers of course x

@Hayleylou89 I had bleeding gums last month but no bfp.

@francis05

Iv had lots of creamy cn but iv had that before and not been preg at this stage

Iv had the pinky cm which at 4dpo which was a sign last time for me but also had the end of a uti so could have been that making my cm pinky colours

Literally dont feel pregnant if im honest - will test sunday as ill be 9 dpo then and i got faint positive that stage last time x x

@Ejb86

Hey how r u doing??
Yeah its just strange as i dnt normally get it but iv heard it can just be the progesterone too xx

@francis05 5 weeks post mc, so lucky I guess that my cycle isn’t too messed up!

@Hayleylou89 so hard to know isn’t it what’s what! I did google as well after you’d said and it could be! When can you test?

Going to order some new opks today although I should have enough for next cycle. We’re both key workers, but thankfully manage to find time to dtd if we’re not both exhausted haha! X

@dinosaur17 Yeah it can be but it could just be hormones too soo not getting too excited... ysah i ordered opks over a week ago now they still havnt arrived so if u need anything get them ordered as deliveries are taking so long with royal mail anyway x

@Dipsy77 @Renna I've also only got the basic femometer (and Flo, Clue, Ovia, FF and CB 😂) but after a couple of cycles when I've input some data for it to work on I will definitely try the 7 day free trial and see how it goes, probably the best way to see if it's for you, maybe around ovulation time, I just didn't think it was worth it for post MC as data will be skewed. xx

@dinosaur17 sorry AF arrived but at least you know you've had a cycle and can reset, it was a pretty standard cycle aswell wasn't it?, first 2 weeks of cycle are quicker than the second half i find.

@francis05 you are definitely not out until AF arrives, what length are your normal cycles?

@VP91x feeling anything today?

@Hayleylou89 I don't remember having bleeding gums with my last pregnancy but definitely read that some women get them 🤞

@Mommybear05 @Ejb86 I need to get on the project life, I have no LO to keep me entertained, only going into work 2 days a week, OH works 12hr shifts so is out a lot and finally got his shed delivered today so that will keep him busy when he is home aswell now 😂

Update from me - 10DPO (CD29) had some cramps/ twinges a few days ago, OH has commented that my boobs are bigger, but pretty sure that is just my lockdown weight 🤦🏾‍♀️ expecting AF Tuesday or Wednesday next week and if she is coming she better come on time then I can start again. Hope everyone has a fab day that goes quickly whatever you are up to xx

@SmileyT no more cramping that has been noticeable. Started getting more CM that was creamy etc. Last couple of days have been dry after the spotting so that's the only real change.

Are you still going to wait until Tues to test? Xx

@Hayleylou89 yes my gums always bled all through first trimester of pregnancy. It’s because there’s more blood inside you. A very good sign! X

@SmileyT no idea how long my cycles ase usually, came off the pill in Sept 19 and didnt get a period before finding out I was pregnant in Jan 20. So going off that my cycles never went back to 'normal'. I feel something is definitely happening as getting the occasional sore nipples, cramps & quite spotty at the moment. Hopefully af or a bfp is imminent x

@Mommybear05 oh wow! That sounds like a lot of work, but that's fun! I'm sure it's going to look great 😊 it's always so difficult to pick colours, especially when you keep seeing so many different ideas on Pinterest and stuff.

So, no it wasn't toilet tissue that got stuck, because i only saw it when I stuck my finger in to check my cervix (sorry, tmi!) and that was pretty deep in. It's gone now, everything has turned creamy, which is on track with my usual cycle at this point. Hoping that I won't have to wait weeks more for AF to arrive!

@Hayleylou89 Good point I’ll def do it today. When is AF due? Bleeding gums seems like a good sign.

@SmileyT Yea pretty much, only 2 days late and I don’t usually have the few days of spotting prior but other than that pretty normal for me. What length are your cycles usually? X

@dinosaur17 ahh sorry af got you! Welcome to the club! Like you say it’s good it’s come within the six week time they say as you know your body is getting back to normal. We got this! Big hugs xx

@Mommybear05 Thank you, keeping positive for us for next cycle! Xx

@dinosaur17

Im due AF next Weds/Thursday so will test Sunday ill be 9dpo then and had a faint positive at that stage in my last pregnancy

@Mommybear05 ahh ok fab, so there is hope it could be a sign.. fingers crossed, it is strange im having all these wierd littlle things happen but it is technically my 1st propa cycle since my loss and when i got pregnant last time it was my first tww then aswell so not got much to compare too .. so frustrating when u just want to know either way god help me if im in this for the long haul x 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Hayleylou89 I feel you...

This TWW seems to be lasting forever... how am I only 5dpo 😴 think its because I'm thinking about it all a lot more this time and tracking /recording things. If I'm not lucky this time not sure I could be the same every month .

I still have some cystitis symptoms.. and I think I have had achey boobs a couple days ... not really painful just bit achey .. but then again you're like it could be anything .. could be from working out .. .
And I dont think i had many symptoms at this point before . So dont have much to go on either really xx

@VP91x I've told myself that I won't test until the 30th when It's been 6 weeks since MC, but I think AF will be with me before that.

@francis05 oh you really will have no idea what is 'normal' for you, but at least it shows you ovulated quite quickly after stopping the pill. Really hoping it's a BFP and not AF for you, might get away without a period for another year x

@dinosaur17 my cycles are normally 28days, like every fourth Sunday they start so I'm already longer than usual tbh but all my apps are predicting it will be a 32/33 day cycle so not crazy.

@SmileyT

@SmileyT if I make it that far I'll be testing on 30th too. Hopefully AF won't surprise me with a 23 day cycle this time!
