Advice Please... 2nd AF after Miscarriage

[Soph01]

Hi Ladies..
Advice please....
I had a miscarriage in October at 5+4, our first month trying and our first pregnancy 😔 all happened naturally and Af came within my normal cycle of 31 days, it was pretty normal but had stronger pains than usual.
Now im on my 2nd cycle, AF was due 3 days ago but nothing.
We were trying again and i was using opk so i know i ovulated, ive had cramps and back pain since i ovulated but the last week they have got worse. Last few days back pain is pretty bad and i feel sick and dizzy.
Did a PG test 3 days ago but it was negative.
Has anyone experienced this? Should i be prepared for the worst AF ever? 😒
Thanks in advance xx

hey @Soph01- sorry to hear about your miscarriage :( we had one in october as well :(
what pregnancy test did u use? is it worth trying another as even if wasnt a v sensitive one, if you are pregnant, it should be positive now if AF is late by 3 days.
we have just got a BFP a couple days ago, tested on the day AF was late by a day and was honestly barely a line - hubby couldnt see it - so tried a digital one which said pregnant. i had same symptoms as u, bad cramps and low back ache (back ache fairly normal for me pre AF, but never get cramps normally)
personally, id take another test...really hope it's a BFP and not AF just coming and being a bit worse! good luck x

Hi @leftitlate37

Sorry to hear about your loss..
Congratulations on your BFP 🌈
I used a clearblue a few days ago, used a cheapy this morning but also got a BFN so im baffled.
Apart from the cramps i have no other signs of AF that i normally get. Xx

its so weird isnt it - maybe cycles just not quite normal yet? last month i had none of my usual AF symptoms - was so strange.
hopefully AF wont show and u could try taking a test again in a few days? when did you ovulate - maybe its not soon enough that if you were pregnant it would show up on tests?
sorry tho that its not v clearcut - hope u get some answers one way or another really soon xx

Yeah im thinking that it may take some time, i got a positive OPK on the 12th December, but im not sure if that means that i actually did ovulate or just got a surge? Who knows?
I never knew how bloody confusing TTC was.
Thanks for your help 🙂
Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy 🌈 xx
