@MSG92
How long have you been trying post mc? This has been our first month. Gona try until i reach 37 in May and then have a few months off and a few 🍷🍸🥂 as I have 2 'staycations' booked 🙄.
How long is normal to conceive post mc?! I have a friend who conceived before her 1st period and another who took 10 months. Iv read your supposed to be more fertile ..... not helpful!!! Xx

MSG92 · 30/10/2020 14:35

Hi @MgW1 mine was 11th August, so this is my 3rd cycle since and TTC straight away. I don't think there is a "normal" depends on how your body took it maybe, how long it took for hormones etc to return to normal. That sounds like a good plan, it's good to have a break I guess, I've been very chilled this whole time but if it doesn't take this month I think I'll start going down hill!

MgW1 · 30/10/2020 17:57

@Runnergirl1
Hope you dont mund me being nosey , have you had any symtoms during TWW? Im 8dpo and intrigued to know if you felt different this time? Xx

Jazper · 30/10/2020 18:54

@MichT4
Thank you for asking. Really lovely that you are thinking of me. I'm ok. No change really. Still losing some blood but not consistently. In fact, nothing all day today. I have had a blood test which showed hcg of 22000. Other than that I have my repeat scan on Thursday so I will let you know xx

Iloveoreos · 30/10/2020 19:28

Ladies , if you had a mc after 4 weeks preg, how long did u bleed for? Is it like normal 7 day period or can it bleed longer than that .

MichT4 · 30/10/2020 19:29

@Jazper it all sounds really promising! That is a nice high hcg level. Stay positive, sounds like this could be one of those frustrating early pregnancy bleeds. I have everything crossed for you and will keep checking in xxx

KatiePlus3 · 30/10/2020 19:40

Hello everyone! Hope you're all ok! Congrats to all the bfps :)

Little bean is still going strong, currently 6+4 today and feeling mega sick and exhausted! will be going for an early scan on the 9th November at 8 weeks to make sure all is ok!

Just going to read through the thread as there has been so much going on since I've been away :)

Xxx

ttcaftermc · 30/10/2020 21:02

@Iloveoreos - as the doctors say, every body is different. When I MC at 4.5 weeks few years ago, my periods were heavy but normal - 6 days. No change to cycle days.

This time I MC at 5.5-6 weeks (Sept). I have already bled twice - 7 days and 6 days. HCG is dropping slowly. So MC is still going on.

My own body is not consistent with itself

Runnergirl1 · 30/10/2020 21:25

@MgW1. I’ve had terrible headaches for about 4days and had a really bad pain In What I thought was my ovary and went to my vagina which felt like I was electrocuted two days ago. But apart from that nothing. Still not convinced it will be a sticky bean x

MgW1 · 30/10/2020 21:38

@Runnergirl1
Awwwww im sure it will be 🤞🏻❤
I think i am out this month , had too many cramps. Last time I was pregnant , I can't remember feeling this way. Hopefully I wont be far behind you xx

Northernsoul90 · 30/10/2020 21:46

@Firevie @HappyVibes Hello lovely ladies, sorry I've been awol for a while - I had quite a difficult time emotionally after having a chemical last cycle 😔. I'm back ttc this month but I'm not using opks as still trying to not let ttc overwhelm me after it all getting a bit much in previous months. I am trying pre seed this month though as I never really notice any EWCM so hopefully this will help 🤞🏼 I've also switched back to pregnacare pre conception after taking my vitamins separately for a while so I'm hoping the new tactics work! I'm just entering fw now (as long as the chemical hasn't messed my cycles up).

How are you both? How are you all getting on @VP91x @MichT4 I've missed loads on the threads as they move quickly but still think of you all 💖

@Jazper I hope you are okay - it's very positive that the bleeding has been absent today. Hoping and praying for you that all is well at your scan xx

Sorry to all the new ladies joining the thread and sending baby dust to all 💕

HappyVibes · 30/10/2020 22:08

Awww lovely to hear from you @Northernsoul90 Sorry that you’ve still been experiences more things to add to your journey - it’s completely expected for you to feel all sorts of emotions. I always wonder if we will ever feel like our normal selves until we have our babies in our arms safely.

Yay to the FW for you! Sending you lots of magical dust girl 💫 Ooh I’ve never looked into preseed but seen it mentioned in here by a few ladies. Hopefully it brings you lots of positive vibes lovely 💓

I’m currently 6DPO so in the TWW patiently waiting xxxx

Northernsoul90 · 30/10/2020 22:57

Thank you @HappyVibes 💖 and to you! I have read good things about it so we will see...ending 2020 with a bfp would be a dream come true. I really hope the rest of the tww passes quickly for you and that this is your month 🤞🏼🌈 xx

MgW1 · 30/10/2020 23:34

@Northernsoul90
I am new ,i have same prob with ewcm 😔 G.P said hormonal issue and it will resolve itself in time however I am trying pre - seed too.... 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Pugprincess · 31/10/2020 04:11

Awwwwww fingers crossed @Runnergirl1 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Will you test again each morning? The pain could be growing/hormone related as I have those too xxx

Pugprincess · 31/10/2020 04:11

@Jazper I hope your scan goes well xxxx

Runnergirl1 · 31/10/2020 07:35

@Pugprincess going to not try test today as it was so faint I want there to be a big noticeable change so maybe Monday 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Northernsoul90 · 31/10/2020 08:13

@MgW1 Did the GP offer blood tests or anything to check your hormone levels? Hopefully it works for us 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@Runnergirl1 Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼xx

HappyVibes · 31/10/2020 08:24

Oh gosh 7DPO and already thinking about early testing next week. I wanted to try and stay strong and stick it out until next Saturday 🤣🙈

For the women who have been prescribed progesterone & aspirin in the UK through the NHS....please may I ask how this came about? Did it come about post bloods, at your request, post ultrasound? Xxx

MgW1 · 31/10/2020 08:29

@Northernsoul90
By the time I have got the pre-seed , id missed my window. Will try it properly next month. No she just said to get in touch after 3 more cycles if no change and not pregnant. From what I have read its normal for some people after miscarriage, maybe our bodies are not quite ready 🤷‍♀️. I have read that taking a heavy duty vitamin supplement like pregnacare 'before conception' and evening primrose oil for first 2 weeks of your cycle helps a lot. The evening primrose helps the body make non acidic mucus so bought some of that to try as well because I have had literally none!! When did you have the mc? Mine was august so had 2 proper periods but G.p said it can take 6 months for things to return to normal for some people xx

SS123456 · 31/10/2020 08:42

I'd be interested to know this too @HappyVibes . My gp agreed to do me a CD21 blood test to check my progesterone level this month and I am convinced a low production of progesterone is my issue

familybythesea · 31/10/2020 09:31

Little update from me - 15dpo and light bleeding after my BFP on Monday. I did actually bleed with my DS, but I think it was earlier - more like 11/12dpo. With my missed miscarriage I didn’t bleed at all. Not sure what to think but feeling pretty anxious :(
It’s never simple is it?!?
Good luck to everyone in their TWW at the moment.

RubyRainbow16 · 31/10/2020 10:45

Just a question to anyone tracking BBT - my temp peaked just after ovulation as expected, then gradually started going down. Yesterday and today 6/7DPO it has peaked again, even higher than it was at ovulation? What does this mean?! I’ve seen some things saying your BBT goes higher if pregnant but don’t want to get my hopes up 😩
