TTC after miscarriage - May 2020

[SmileyT]

I'm CD1 of cycle 2 TTC #1 so thought I'd start a new thread for anybody in the same situation who didn't get their April BFP.

I had a MMC found on a scan at 9.5weeks after seeing HB at 7 weeks 🙁 I had SMM on the 19th March but no luck in my first month and AF got me today. Normal cycles are 28days so I hope to be testing around the 20th May. This month I will be tracking ovulation using CB connected and trying out Preseed for the first time hoping this helps towards my 🌈 but tonight I'll just be having a G&T 💁🏾‍♀️

@SmileyT flashing smiley again, hoping tomorrow morning I get the static!

Hi all how is everyone today?

Does anyone ever feel like they are coming down with a cold on the lead up to ovulation. Today I've had a sore throat, head and feel a bit crap. I remember feeling like this the cycle I fell pregnant around about ovulation time and I've experienced it a few other times as well. Is due to hormones anyone know? Xx

You’re welcome @SmileyT and woohoo to the peak!!

@JoandLily argh! Fingers crossed for that peak tomorrow! 🤞🏻

@TerribleImagination you must be nearing the end of your TWW now aswell, any inklings? Fingers crossed for you x

@renna sound like u had a awful time with ur mc, I know just need to tell myself it will be our turn again soon, I still cnt face social media cos there are just too many pregnant ppl around me at the min and the closer to my due date the worse im feeling but i need to think this month could be our month and its only 2 month ttc! ... no the ava hasnt arrived yet im gutted, royal mail are really delayed recently and thats where its coming from ... fingers crossed its here tomorrow, made up iv lost 4lb this week from being healthy and going on bike rides and stuff so thats def making me feel better and our loft conversion should def be done early next week 🙏 so a nice new bedroom ready for fertile week 💪 haha x

@SmileyT yay to ur static !! Get bding and into ur tww my lady :) xx

@JoandLily yeah id get some cheapies they are good to use alongside cb if the test line is as dark or darker than the control line ur at ur peak or heading towards it so it gives u a bit of a heads up xx

@francis05 It took me 6 weeks to get my first AF after my loss so try not to stress too much ... she could just be around the corner for u to start a fresh, have u had bloods done, i got bloods done just make sure everything was back to normal xx

@francis05 i lost quite alot of blood and had retained placenta and had to have surgery after the birth so i just wanted to make sure my iron and everything was back to normal xx

@Hayleylou89 really hoping she comes in the next couple of days. If not here by the middle of next week I'll call the doctors and see if I can have some bloods done. Still feeling and look bloated all day so hormones are definitely out of whack I think. Does iron levels affect things? I'm taking multi vits so hopefully getting all the right nutrients xx

@HE88 how are you feeling today? This is only my first full cycle and actually noticed that I feel more energised around Ovulation but may just be because I know it's fertile week now so got excited. I'm guessing the hormones will affect everyone in slightly different ways though, I read a post from one lady saying she always feels emotional around O 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Jaylou7 hope everything progresses well with your pregnancy, I know it must be hard given your previous losses but try and stay positive.

@Hayleylou89 Thanks - definitely DTD with purpose at the moment, bit of preseed and laying still afterwards 😂 it'll be your turn on the CB soon and hoping it's only a few flashy smily faces for you this month xx

Thank you very much. 💕💕

Good morning ladies, I hope everyone is well. @jaylou7 congratulations 🎉.

Sorry that I have been dipping in and out of mumsnet, work has ramped up a bit this week (A&E) so I've had that as a distraction.

I think the increase in work and stress is affecting my cycle ☹️ I am due to ovulate today/tomorrow and I'm having definite ovulation symptoms but no sign of my smiley on my ovulation test 🤷 normally it is spot on, I've never had a cycle without having peak days on an ovulation test since I started testing. I'm starting to get anxious about it - which I know probably isn't helping. I might start testing twice a day next month as maybe I have missed it?

I hope you all have a good weekend x

So it’s been 4 days since I stopped bleeding after my mc. (I only bleed for 5 days- last Thursday til Monday) scan on Tuesday confirmed completed miscarriage.

But today I’ve woken up with really bad back ache and cramps like I’m about to get the worse af ever. Surely it’s way to early? Has anyone experienced this after their mc?

@2020wish. Sorry to hear about your misscarrage. I had all sorts of strange symptoms after my MC. I bleed for around 8 days, stopped for a week then started cramping and spotting again around my normal ovulation days, then my first AF arrived after only 3 weeks which was very disappointing as we started TTC straight after MC.

I hope your cycle settles down, it is very frustrating x

@francis05 Not sure if iron does effect your periods but i was worried being anemic might have and i just wanted to make sure everything was back to normal in my blood before trying again. I had them at about 5 post baby and then my AF arrived about a week later.

@SmileyT this month is compleeetly different to last month i think id already started using cb by now like a dope 🤦🏽‍♀️ I did that one cheapy the other day but havnt bothered since iv still got another week of "infertile" before my "fertile" week so ill start using cheapies first then my cb is asking me to start testing from 8th may ... we dtd yest just because 🥰... im not drilling him too much beforehand this month and make the most of it in fertile week 🤣 thats the master plan anyway....In sept we had a family bbq i was drunk we dtd that night, missed the next day and dtd the next night and thats it, and it wasnt planned like that thats just because we felt like dtd and i was drunk the first night 😂 just want it to happen like that again... i wont even drink now incase i mess things up 🤦🏽‍♀️ xx

@2020wish hey didnt want to ignore ur post, so sorry about ur loss, mine was a bit different i was 1 day off 23 weeks and my waters broke prematurely and i lost her through an infection so i had to give birth but she didnt make it. Then ilthe placenta wouldnt come out so i had to go to theatre and have it manually removed, I bled for about 2 weeks after then got my 1st period 6weeks after the day i gave birth, i didnt have cramps from what i remember though ... its all a bit of blur tbh, hopefully ur back on track before u know it x x

Hello ladies, new to this thread but just wanted to say that reading all your stories has filled me with hope, knowing that so many of us are going through similar stuff and that there's so much support out there.

I got pregnant earlier this year and miscarried at six weeks, last weekend. In fact, I don't think I can quite use the past tense yet - I am still bleeding lightly and I still need to go for my checkup on Wednesday to see if everything has gone naturally or if I need any follow-up procedures. I have been feeling so sad and anxious - it was my first pregnancy so now I'm scared that the next time I get a BFP I won't be able to be happy about it - instead, I'll be a ball of anxiety the whole of the first trimester.

I'm going to give it one full cycle before we start trying again, so I'm prepping myself for at least a six week wait until we can start - right now it feels like 6 years!! Wishing you all the best and hoping I can jump back in here when we start ttc again.

Hi I lost my last at 5.5 weeks on 2nd last month. I’m 4+2 no symptoms at all. Just waiting to lose this one. 😢😢 list another July 19. I’m 40 too. Horrible time. X

Hey @Jaylou7 did you do another test is the line stronger? I know it must be so hard right now but please try and stay positive and read as many positive stories as you can. It is sometimes easy to read the negatives online.

Have you contacted your GP also? They can maybe book an early scan?

Xx

@primrosechill so sorry that you are suffering a loss right now, hopefully your check up all goes well and you are able to TTC when you feel ready.

Be kind to yourself sending you lots of positive thoughts xxx

Just catching up on the thread since yesterday as spent the day painting! Hope you are all doing well today ladies xx

Hi lovely, I have been offered an early scan at 7 weeks. This was my test yesterday. X

5 attempts and 4 full cycles after MC and I got this this morning! 😃 I’m only 12DPO though, AF due tomorrow according to Clue, but last month turned up a day early. Crossing everything it doesn’t show for 9 months! 🤞🏻
