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 💁🏾‍♀️

@Dipsy77 I'm desperately going to try and focus on other things, not look for any symptoms and test at 15dpo if there is no signs of AF... but we'll see how I get on 🙈

@SmileyT easier said than done!
Not sure what's happening with me at the minute my MMC was medically managed on the 17th feb, had retained product so had more tablets 4 weeks later, only stopped bleeding end of March then 2 days later had what I thought was AF. Then had What was real and very painful AF this cycle. Definitely ovulated this fri/sat as I had 2 peak tests Friday morning and afternoon followed by a lower high test Friday night. Friday night had bad ovulation pain then sat morning low opk test.
DTD yesterday then today I've had cramps like AF backache and leg ache and hot flushes just been to the loo and there's pink blood when I wipe. Spoke to docs last week as I spotted before AF they treated me for thrush which hasn't made any difference. Only thing I can think is I either have an infection or it's the fact I have a cervical erosion and DTD has made it bleed.
I'm going to leave while Wednesday and if it hasn't cleared up Speak to docs they did say I may need swabs although they may give me antibiotics to see if it is an infection so I don't have to go in . Sorry for long post just getting a bit peed off x

Hi ladies absolutely amazed had a really odd feeling all day and just did a clear blue and positive 8dpo going to retest in the morning just to be sure ❤️❤️❤️

@Dipsy77 ahh that is all together a bloody nightmare, must be so hard when you just want to get back to normal and your body isn't playing ball. Hopefully the spotting isn't anything to worry about and can be cleared up with antibiotics. Definitely speak to your Dr again even if it does stop and you just need some reassurance better to be safe than sorry x

@Dipsy77 what a nightmare sorry your going through this hopefully you get it sorted soon sending hugs 🤗. Xx

Oh wow @Tink20058 amazing news congratulations. Xx

@Tink20058 Congrats 🥳 you had your loss in April didn't you? You can give hope to people in that first cycle that it can happen. How are you feeling?

@Smiley 6th of April I miscarried I bled for 4 days then started clear blue ovulation tests 11th April and peaked after 10 days had couple of symptoms noticed bumps around my nipples 6dpo and felt like I have been ready to cry all day and just had a odd feeling so fingers crossed now it progresses xx

Congrats @Tink20058😀

I actually feel like pouring myself a very large g and t feels like I havent had a drink in ages x

@Tink20058 congrats!!! That gives me hope. I just miscarriaged on the 23rd. Bleed for 5 days. And started taking opks on Wednesday past.
How far along where u? This gives me hope. I still feel so down about it. When did you start feeling less sad?

Thanks guys! Yes Ramadan has been strange in the sense that we would usually break our fast with relatives but now it’s just with my in-laws!

Hoping to test using OPK soon but can’t seem to not use the toilet for 4 hours 😭

@Tink20058 congrats hun!!!!! Only the 3rd of the month and you’ve already kicked off the BFPs! Really hopeful for everyone else!

Hi ladies xx hope everyone having a nice weekend xx I've tried to keep busy with puppy prepping and house deep cleaning.
Got my first flashing smiley yesterday at CD8 which is earlier than I expected to be honest , expecting peak around Wednesday. DTD today but trying to be more relaxed with it and let it happen when it does as long as peak covered ! As when we got pg last time only DTD on 2 peak days over the fertile week 👌 it's hard trying to be "laid back " with it .. still cant help myself thinking about things and making sure I use that CP lube 😂 ..

Congratulations @Tink20058 amazing news xxxx

@smileyT hope this TWW goes quick for you and you have a special surprise at the end 💙💞🌈

I'm not even through peak yet and I just dont feel positive already about success this month .. ha bad isnt it ! Think its because DH got a sore lower back ! Hoping it doesnt get any worse next few days ! Xxx and probably because this is my 2nd proper cycle since MC so feel like I've had the dossappitning of AF a couple of times now so expecting it to happen again xx

@Hayleylou89 hope you're okay xx and ava has arrived !? Xx

@2020wish I was about 4-5 weeks when I miscarried and then was really determined so bought ovulation kit and glad I did I ovulated a lot later then I thought and could have missed it without the tests there is definitely hope ❤️❤️❤️

@Tink20058 I was 6 weeks so that gives me hope. Feeling very empty so I’m hoping I catch before my next af. Yes testing everyday myself as I’m determined not to miss it

Ladies can anyone confirm that the top opk is definitely peak/positive? I had to manually do this one as the results were coming back as low which doesn't seem correct to me as its looks definitely positive. Its the 1st time I've used these opks, I got my static smiley on cb this morning so a peak on these would add up.

@HE88 I'd say that's definitely peak the test line is darker than the control line, your supposed to test every 4 hours after getting your peak, I had one more peak and then it went back down again

@renna same happened to me my OH has a bad back think he thought I was some sort of neurotic sex maniac I felt awful but we managed to DTD twice leaving me feeling guilty, still not hopeful though as I think I missed my peak because of that x

Hi ladies! I think AF has finally got me 40 days after my mmc. I was jumping for joy yesterday, but then did cheapie hpt to make sure all was okay, got a super super faint positive and then did a clear blue test this morning which was positive. I have a blood test scheduled for tomorrow to check my Hcg levels (been going almost every week for the last 6 weeks). Last test showed that my Hcg was at 27 ( that was 11 days ago).

Just want to know, has anyone had a period with Hcg still in their system? This is extremely frustrating! Wanted to pour myself a nice glass of wine and relax this weekend, but couldn't because this is all so confusing 😫

Thanks @Dipsy77 I'll test again in 4 hours and see what happens. Xx

Yeah hun @HE88 deffo peak xx xx

@Dipsy77 haha I know I've been like helping him do stretches etc... I'm like gotta make sure this back doesnt get any worse !! 🙄 getting him laying on the floor crunching his back .. like come on stretch further than that 😂🙄 when everything doesnt go so perfectly you think ah well not gonna work this month. But doesnt always work like that . I felt like that in December when I did get pg so 🤷‍♀️ x x aw bless haha least you managed to do it! Can imagine a lot of it involved you doing the work ! 😂 what happened with us this morning! Xx

Hello all. New here. I joined as I’m on the TTC train and could really do with some positivity after miscarrying at 9 weeks at the end of feb. I then had my first period 5 weeks later and bled for a ridiculous 10 days 😫 I was then expecting my cycle to go totally back to normal this month but I’m now 3 days late and getting bfn’s 😭
Can anyone give me some reassurance that my cycle will regulate and I am not broken.
I haven’t been through the whole thread obviously as it huuuggge! But congratulations to those with recent bfp’s and good luck to all those ttc alongside myself ❤️

@Renna lol yes I told him to lie back and think of England x

AF arrived today. 3 weeks after MC, DTD a few times during that window, but was quite expecting it to arrive. In some way I'm quite glad as it means my cycle is the same as before! And can clear out and start fresh for the next few weeks! Fingers crossed!

@Tink20058 congratulations!! Wonderful news!! ❤️❤️ Going to be a month off positives for us all!

@Jazper welcome x sorry that you have recently suffered a loss. You're not broken, promise. After my MC I had a 21, then 24 day cycle now I am back to 29 days so much more regular. It takes some time for things to settle xx

@Dipsy77 😂😂 normally it is guys that are heard complaining they don't have enough sex. And here we are trying to find ways to BD all the time. They should count themselves lucky 😂 x
