TTC after miscarriage

[lamby12]

Hi just wondered if anyone had any experience of continuing TTC after miscarriage. I had a loss at 5/6 weeks recently. The bleeding has now stopped (about 3 days clear) and I'm starting to feel back to normal physically. Emotionally I'm gutted as we have been trying for so long and a few close relatives who know have said we should wait a while to recover emotionally/physically.
Whilst I agree, I've also read that you're most fertile after a miscarriage and it's taken 18months of inconsistent ovulation/low hormones for me to get pregnant. I don't want to miss what could be an increased chance when my odds are low ordinarily.
The hospital said I should wait until a normal period for dating reasons only, they said nothing about risk of infection or complications getting pregnant straight away. I have no idea when I would ovulate (if) now.
Any experience out there?

So now for the last three days I’ve had these blazing positive opks.. so that’s over a week of the lines being the same colour and now day three of the line being darker than the control. Miscarriage was 18 days ago and my apps predict I would ovulate around Tuesday so another few days away. I’ve had cramps for a few days but I’m so confused. I never get a long surge it’s over and done with in one night??!!

I got peak OPK at 12 days after D&C ... I put it down to HCG still in my system as it was only 12 days after procedure ,and I heard it could take up to 3 weeks to ovulate the longer the pregnancy. I haven’t gotten a peak OPK since... I know I won’t know for sure , but is it possible to ovulate so soon after D&C? I was 14 weeks pregnant at the time

Hi Ladies, I’ve never been part of something like this before but I’ve managed to find a thread which looks great and some recent posts too.

I had. MMC at 16 weeks on the 1st Feb. My period came 8 weeks later and now I’m on day 30 of my next cycle and no sign of ovulation. I haven’t been doing opks but I know from my EWCM and I get pain on the particular side I ovulate from. I got a tiny bit of the fertile stuff on my usual O day, day 16 but I think my body tried and failed. TTC after a loss is so tough! so many people I know seem to of got caught quickly afterwards and I’m like how! I can’t even ovulate. It’s so hard when grieving too!

Sorry for your loss.. it’s horrible isn’t it. Well 4 weeks exactly after my miscarriage I had my first positive pregnancy test, looks like at least one of my million positive ovulation strips was right! So no period in between and I must have ovulated around the 11th? Have you managed to bd this month incase you have ovulated without knowing? I didn’t get any signs of ovulation either but must have happened somewhere!! Good luck :)

Congrats Lara! That’s amazing news on your BFP and your rainbow on it’s way! Glad all the testing paid off!

I did DTD around the tiny bit of EWCM but that was 14 days ago now and I’ve had a negative test this morning so I just think my body tried and failed. The doctor did say it takes much longer because I was so much further into the pregnancy and I need to be patient 😩 but it’s so hard! I always have a nearly 2 year old but when I was expecting a sibling for him and it just gets pulled beneath you it’s just devastating! I just need to be DTD when I see the fertile stuff and go from there. My very first ovulation after MC was 3 days of EWCM and got my usual O pains it was so obvious but that cycle ended with a short luteal phase and my period coming 5 days later 🥺 so even if anything did fertilise it’s not enough time to implant. My gut is saying I’ve not ovulated yet and it’s taking it’s time! Xxx

Already have sorry*

That must have been so awful for you at that stage, I’m so sorry :( keep positive, you never know.. you could have ovulated and just not know it. When are you due af? .... and thank you.. I’m a nervous wreck at the moment though, can’t stop worrying xxx

Does anyone still use this thread or is everyone expecting there rainbows? 🌈 I’m currently on cycle day 6 and period just ending.

Hey.. I’m currently almost 6 weeks but I keep checking back on here.. have u been trying long? Xx

Hi Everyone, just checking in, this post seemed to be doing really well for positives! I'm hoping it will rub off on me! I'm still trying 6 months after miscarriage, really worrying that it will never happen now. Your positive journeys will keep me going.

Hi, first time posting here so apologies if it's in the wrong spot. I had a missed miscarriage 4th June, and had the MVA procedure the same day. It took 6weeks for AF to show, and since then I've been tracking my cycles. My second one was 50 days long and I got a positive Ovulation test on the CD10 and and now I'm on CD7 of my 3rd cycle and I got a positive Ovulation test yesterday! I'm really worried about having such long cycles with very very early Ovulation. My AF Is also extremely light, only 2 days long both times. I have been on the pill my whole adult life prior to coming off it and getting pregnant straight away so have no idea what my actual cycle looks like. Anyone else experienced this. Really concerned and not sure whether it's the miscarriage or my age.
