TTC after MC - Dec/Jan 2020 (Thread 16)

[Bellabubble]

I think I worked out how to make a new thread!! Tag yourselves/place mark to continue our chats from before :)

@PumpkinEverything it totally is! So crap not being able to see family and friends! 😳 I'm coming up for 3 weeks from the start of my natural MC! I definitely think my body processed the last bits (sorry couldn't think of a better expression) at the weekend there! The discharge seems to have lessened as well, so hopefully this is me coming to the end of this process! If this is it, I've been lucky time-wise! I'm tracking ovulation now to see what happens, but my BBT is still high?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@TheDaydreamBelievers 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for the hospital today! Keep us posted! 😘😘😘

@NatJ24 @ELMcg and others in a similar situation, how are you all feeling today? Still a mash of symptoms?

@M4v3r1ck fingers crossed that's you starting to get back to feeling normal again, it's such a relief when it's all over physically!

Feeling a bit less bizarre today actually! Really thought my period was on its way last night, was so bloated! But no sign today. My telltale sign is usually sore boobs and I haven't had that yet so thinking it could be a while until it comes. Did a cheap pregnancy test this morning to make SURE I'm definitely not pregnant and it was negative again so looking forward to having some fizz and a takeaway for mine and my husband's birthday this weekend. I feel its needed after a stressful week!

Hope you are feeling a bit better today too @NatJ24

So the hospital did scans and tests - scan all clear, and tests are now negative. So that's 6.5 weeks after MMC surgery. Ovulation tests suggest today so hopefully a first period after MC at approx 8.5 weeks after.

@TheDaydreamBelievers that's great news! Reassuring that you know what to expect now 😊

@M4v3r1ck hopefully that is you coming to the end and you can start to feel normal and back in to your cycle. I think the same happened to me with processing the end of the miscarriage 2 weeks after it started. I had bleeding on and off for the 2 weeks and then I passed the last of it it seemed exactly 2 weeks from it starting and the bleeding just stopped (sorry for the TMI).
@ELMcg thank you. I'm glad you are feeling a bit better today. You can have a little drink and relax on the weekend!
@TheDaydreamBelievers great news! You can definitely just keep moving forward now!
I've done another pregnancy test today and there's still a faint line but its definitely lighter that the last one and nearly on its way out I think so feeling postive 😃

I thought I replied to this but must have forgot to press post 🙈

So glad to hear you got on well today, have been thinking about you @TheDaydreamBelievers you must feel so relieved to know all is okay, and hopefully that’s you on track for AF to turn up in 2 weeks time!

Morning. Hope everyone is ok 😀

I’m approaching 5 weeks post MMC with no sign of first period yet. I know the EPU advised 4-6 weeks but I’m getting a bit impatient.

DH still wants to wait a month or two before actively TTC but I’d feel much better if period arrived and I could begin tracking ovulation. Think it would make me feel like I was more in control of the situation!

Well that should have said afternoon....it’s been a long day! Whoops.

@bubblybrit have you had negative pregnancy tests yet?

@TheDaydreamBelievers. Yes. I was told to test 3 weeks after my miscarriage so received a negative on the 3rd Jan. Maybe a bit early for my period? Guess I’m just impatient!

Glad to hear that @bubblybrit. Do you know if you have ovulated? I'd guess a period would be from 2-4 weeks after a negative.

I’ll be honest and say I’ve no idea if I’ve ovulated @TheDaydreamBelievers. I’ve never really had some of the key indicators that are discussed here and wasn’t planning on using opks until after my first period. Just feeling a bit fed up today....I seen from your pp that you’ve now got your negative. It was a bittersweet feeling for me so hope you are ok.

We had some exciting news today... can hardly believe it! Fingers crossed for a successful pregnancy this time 🤞🤞

I should say - I’ve known for a couple of days (hence the FRER from yesterday) but only told DH today as it’s our anniversary 😊

@RS2609 congratulations!! Thats amazing! Lovely news for your anniversary ❤

@RS2609 congratulations, the perfect anniversary gift

Congratulations @RS2609. Lovely news x

Congrats @RS2609 😊

Congrats @RS2609

I did a FRER at 8dpo this morning and its negative, probs still to early.

I have a sore boob, exactley like it was when I was pregnant.

I am hating this wait this month xx

@elsimo thank you. The wait is really tough, my FRER was also negative at 8DPO x

@NatJ24 @bubblybrit @PumpkinEverything @MrsF111 @elsimo thank you all so much, hopefully this one will stick 🤞🙏 Wishing you all lots of luck on your journies x

@RS2609 oh really that gives me some hope. Did u have any early symptoms?

This is my first proper cycle after mc and I got pregnant on this cycle with my DD after a mc so was so hoping it would happen again.

I tried for such a long time before my latest mc I just don't want to think I have months of trying ahead again!!

@elsimo I had quite sore boobs and I also felt some mild cramping around 7 DPO which I assume was implantation cramping x

@elsimo keeping everything crossed for you x

Congratulations @RS2609 lovely news for your anniversary! 🤗

@elsimo keeping my fingers crossed for you, challenge yourself to wait it out that bit longer 😬 you can do it!

I'm a stubborn git who strictly won't test until 14dpo so there's no uncertainty then. DH said to me a few weeks ago he thinks it'd be a good idea to not test at 14dpo (that's early he says 🙄) because of what's happened before with the 2 MCs - as if leaving it any later would have changed the outcome 🤦🏼‍♀️, and just wait like a month or so 😂 no hun, I'll stick to my rule of 14dpo but if we get any good news I might just have to spring it on you out of the blue.
