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 :)

@TheDaydreamBelievers
Is it the liquid feraglobin you take ? The pre -conception vitanins have made me constipated but doc says im anaemic, she has prescribed stonger iron tablets and laxatives. Been googling and the feraglobin says its gentle. Xx

@NatNoo96 congratulations!!! 🎉 Fantastic news!!!

Congratulations @NatNoo96 - sending a million good vibes to you xxx

@NatNoo96 congratulations!

Thanks everyone ! Now to keep my fingers crossed for another 8 months 😂

Congratulations @NatNoo96 🎉

Just found out one of my closest friends is expecting her third, two weeks after I would've been due with what would've been our third. What a kick in the gut when I was doing really good 😔

@Garman so sorry to hear that. I found Christmas hard with all of the baby announcements. Even harder when it’s closer to home x

@PumpkinEverything thank you I think we will try this cycle.

@NatNoo96 congratulations I’m new here but this is brilliant news ☺️

I also have the clear blue machine iv just set it up and I will keep you updated, is it normal that I miscarried at home and haven’t seen a doctor I had an appointment on the 29th in early pregnancy clinic but when I called them to say I had a very heavy bleed for 3days she cancelled my appointment and that was it

Hi @Mumof1ttc Yes I didn't see a doctor either as it all happened at home. If you feel like you do want some medical advice or a check-up then you're perfectly within your rights to ask for that 😊 x

Hi all, I'm out of my fertile window and into the dreaded tww! Well, ten days at this point, with af due next Friday. I don't feel at all as anxious this cycle, but I'm praying I don't have another random 48-day cycle for nothing!

Hope everyone else is trundling along OK xx

Has anyone used pregnacare before pregnancy for men and woman?

@susiebluebell Iv stopped bleeding thankfully and iv tested and it’s bfn now I feel well in myself so hopefully I ovulate this cycle or if not my af comes in time so I can maybe look foreword to a fresh start.

@susiebluebell good luck!!! Keeping everything crossed for you🤞

@Mumof1ttc I’m using the pregnacare before pregnancy tabs for him and her. I used them previously as well and conceived on our first cycle (which ended in a miscarriage a few weeks ago). We’ve started using them again in the hopes it helps us fall pregnant again quickly🤞

Good evening ladies. I hope ur all doing well. Hopefully u don't mind me joining. I've had a MMC when I was 18 weeks in September. That was quite traumatic so me and DP decided to wait a little bit. We are going to try SMEP in January as it'll be our first month of properly TTC after miscarriage. We haven't been tracking or anything this month and I think I'm around 9dpo. Period is due around 4/5th of January.

@NatNoo96 congratulations x

Ah me too @susiebluebell, I’m 4DPO today. My AF apparently is due 11th. It’s weird, this month I don’t feel overly optimistic, whereas past few months I have done. I don’t have any reason not to as I felt my ovulation pain, and we DTD lots around FW. We shall see I guess. How you feeling lovely? Xxxx

@idkwhatsgoingon
AAAHhhhh so sorry your here 😔 but welcome anyway , you must be anxious about trying again , I hope that things work out for you both xx

Hi @idkwhatsgoingon sorry you find yourself here. Everyone is really supportive on this thread 😊

Day 30 after having surgical management for my MC and waiting on AF, despite saying I wouldn't do them I wanted to know where my cycle was at so I've done OPKs for the last 4 days and all negative, got my negative PT 7 days ago so I assume I must have already ovulated in that small window in-between or it's just really late - who knows 🤷‍♀️

@bez91 morning. I could share my experience if that helps ? I had surgical management on 1st dec and got my negative PT on 15th and then I started getting darker lines on opks towards a positive a week later and I think I then ovulated on 24th dec. so according to that (and my Premom app!) I am not due on until 7th jan which would mean a 35 day cycle which is unusual for me. So I think this cycle it may be a longer one for you if your negative PT was 7 days ago ? Hope this helps xx

@SophW194 thanks 😊 that may be the case then if the hcg hung round a little longer. I'll keep at it with the OPKs then, I just didn't want to waste them 🙈

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for you

@bez91 I was the same as you, not really really trying this cycle (hubby said he’d like to know my body has recovered) but just kinda doing opks out of interest to see what my cycle was doing but as soon as I started getting darker and darker lines it became addictive 🙈😅 it doesn’t help that I’ve basically not had a period for 10 years so I’ve no idea my cycle length or anything !

How are you feeling following the surgery ? Did you get much bleeding after ? Xx

@SophW194 that sounds very similar to me. My pill stopped my periods and I've taken that for about 12 years with the exception of a short break when I had my daughter so even though I've been off it since May I'm still no wiser!

It looks like I had mine the day after (2nd December) I feel ok following the surgery, definitely the best option for me even though it still seems to drag out. My bleeding lasted almost 2 weeks but more on and off towards the end. How about yourself?

@bez91 it’s so tricky when you don’t know your cycle isn’t it ! I remember (from when I was about 19!) that my cycles were never overly long, maybe 28-30 days but I think the app is assuming af would come 14 days after O? Are you using an app or anything ?
I didn’t have any bleeding AT ALL for the first few days which was weird but then a week later, when I was in Lapland uk with the kids there it came !! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ And then I spotted from that day for about a week maybe so I think I was pretty lucky in the end ! And no pain ! I had opted for medical management as when mc was confirmed it was 3 days before hubby’s birthday so didn’t want to risk going naturally on his birthday but then it failed anyway and they said I had to have surgery 😳.

It’s such a horrible process to go through isn’t it, especially around Christmas 🥺. Have you had any ovulation signs since the bleeding stopped ? Xx

@SophW194 Ahh that sounds a nightmare with the bleeding for you 😩
I've used Ovia since coming off the pill which is pretty good until you have a MC. Not a lot of apps seem to consider it's even a possibility 🤦🏼‍♀️ the MMC was my second MC this year so I don't know if the app knows what's going off or what. It says my fertile window was over Christmas but only sign of O I really had was a few twinges and a madly higher sex drive 🙈 I'll keep doing OPKs for another week and if nothing just stop and expect AF as no idea when that'll be.
Have you been trying in line with your OPKs or just see what happens next month? X

Is it right that we wouldn’t ovulate before getting our negative PT @SophW194 @bez91 just hoping I didn’t miss it during all this time when I couldn’t do anything due to the bleeding! My OPKs this week are starting to get lower, but still high-ish. They’re all around 0.6/0.7 when before they would have been 0.2/0.3 before I got my surge.
