TTC after MC - June 2020

[SmileyT]

I'm 31 TTC #1 after a MC in March this year, AF has just finished and I'm on CD6 and all ready to go for my 2nd full cycle.

This month I will be tracking with opks, CB connected, BBT and following SMEP plan.

@1990EM we are all in this together 🥰

@HE88 oh I hope it's nothing serious, how are you feeling this morning? xx

CD11 for me now still with blank ⭕️ on CB where is everyone else in their cycles? xx

Fermometer has put me at DPO1 so started Calc fleur this morning. I'm CD14 got my peak yesterday so still a few days DTD for SMEP, I thought today was ovulation as my peak has turned to high this morning but will see what happens I'll just stick to the SMEP x

@2020wish hope this isn’t a MC for you, my SIL had bleeding through pregnancy and had a healthy baby so it’s possible, best to get things checked today if you can to get out of limbo.
@Nannon145 and @saim86 sorry to hear about your losses.
@SmileyT I’m CD 8 now and wondering whether to use some cheap opks that came with cheap pregnancy tests. I’ve never tried them before but kind of want the reassurance I’m definitely ovulating this month.
What’s the general consensus on OPKs? Do you ladies find it helpful or more stressful?

@1990EM I definitely obsessed about that too! TMI but we even DTD when I was still bleeding from the MC in my desperation...wouldn’t advise it! 😳

@1990EM I'm not bleeding any more. I haven't bled since 12th May 😃 just hoping this is my month x

@Nannon145 oh that's good, sorry I misunderstood. Sounds like your cycle has normalised then! Amazing ⭐

@elliew818 no judgement here 🙈 I've only just got a negative pregnancy test after my miscarriage so ready to start tracking cycles again.

@1990EM that's okay. I know, it does sound like it but I still can't believe it. Wasn't expecting to ovulate this cycle. Especially on CD14!

@SmileyT I'm CD 14 if you count the day after I miscarried as the first day of my cycle.. not sure if thats quite right or not. Did my first opk since that this morning. Totally negative ☹ but to be expected i suppose..

@SmileyT I'm on CD5 :) will start OPKS on Thursday normally get my peak CD12 /CD13
Hi to all new ladies who have joined xx sorry for your losses x I'm in my third cycle since MMC in March .
@elliew818 deffo recommend opks I never seem to have much problem with them and it finds my peak etc so dont find them stressful . The few weeks straight after I had surgery for MMC though it didnt find my peak so either didnt ovulate or it didnt pick up on it , I did find that stressful tbf but before I MC and the last 2 cycles had no problems and find it reassuring knowing were DTD at the right times knowing weve done all we can 🤷‍♀️ although the opks cant deffo confirm you have ovulated they just confirm you have had a surge for the LH hormone that makes ovualtion happen , only way to confirm you've deffo ovulated is by temping. I did that for one cycle to make sure and it confirmed I had the dip in temperature at ovualtion so I didnt bother temping last month and now this month I'm.doing it again to assure myself I am ovulating xx

@smileyT my parcel attached just arrived whilst typing this message ... :) x

@Renna that's my next buy if the normal menstrual cup doesn't work you'll have to let me know how it is x

Hi ladies I’m a bit confused hoping someone can help....I had bleeding for about a week after my miscarriage then light spotting for a few days I had been experiencing pain while weeing and tinges of blood phoned gp he said uti and gave antibiotics I had really bad pain coming and going in my ovaries a few days ago and started spotting put this down to first period after mc it got heavier yesterday and then stopped I’m just worried as hospital said it will be heavy and very painful...we have dtd a couple times

Hey @Saim86 I think it is worth contacting your EPU again. Did they confirm that everything had passed? Sorry if you've mentioned it before. It might be that causing the pain? X

@saim86 my first period post mc wasn’t very heavy or long - about 2 days and I am normally a 5day girl x

@VP91x I’m not sure they did take everything away to check and just sent us on our way with baby no aftercare advice apart from next period will be heavy and painful they weren’t really helpful we did deliver baby ourself as they were all on lunch but we made sure to get placenta in a paper bowl

@Bellabubble I have had some tinges of blood on the 18th may gp put it down to uti so did I tbh it’s just clots and discharge have called my gp for advice will update soon

@Saim86 god, I'm sorry they treated you that way.
I would request a scan - if you're getting clots and alot of pain you never know if anything was retained and that can cause an infection. I don't want to worry you as it could obviously be the start of a very heavy period, but still.

After my miscarriage I had retained tissue and I was in so much pain after a week of my procedure and passing clots etc. Dont let them send you away! Xx

@SmileyT I'm feeling better today the pain isn't really there anymore thankfully.
I'm on cycle day 7 today will start opks in a few days. Xx

@Dipsy77 what calc fluor tablets are you using if you don't mind me asking. Xx

@VP91x oh no it’s your worst nightmare to have that happen especially when you feel you are ready to try again I’ve only had pain that one day and not having any pain since waiting on gp to call back have tried EPU but they are busy on voicemail

@Nannon145 are you due to test yet ?? ....fingers crossed for your rainbow 🌈

Feel like I’m getting somewhere. Finally got through to my doctors. They are going to check my bloods and see if they can find a reason for the 3 losses in row and refer me to Recurrant miscarriage clinic. I’m hoping that if something is wrong they will pick it up in the GP tests and it can easily by sorted. I hope I start bleeding properly soon so I can get over this loss and back on track

@2020wish are all your tests negative now? I'm really sorry that you're having to deal with all of this xxx

Yea basically. Extremely faint positives but fainter than what they were when I found out at 10dpo and digitals still negative.

When are you testing? X

@2020wish I'm glad they are going to tests for you and hopefully get to the bottom of what's going on xx

Hope you get some answers hun @2020wish xx

@2020wish sending you so much love xx

My DPO recalculated so I'm 7DPO today. So I'll wait until Friday to be 10DPO and see from there. Xx
