🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 6 🌈✨🙌💞

[Skl2021]

Flying through these threads ladies 🌈🤞 let's get some more rainbows 💞 xx

@Skl2021 I can imagine 💕

@bunnykins123 haha I just want to make sure I try everything if that makes sense.

Hi girlies, just checking in briefly on my lunch. Will catch up properly later 🥰

Very scared for scan tomorrow. Trying to stay focused on enjoying the feeling of being pregnant but my god I am shaking in my boots xx

Got everything crossed for you @aesgriff xxx

@Bridgey8 thank you, that's reassuring! Sorry to hear you're having a scary time with bleeding and fluctuating symptoms, but really glad to hear baby was ok at yesterday's scan. Keeping fingers crossed for you

@bunnykins123 so sorry to hear you've had three losses. It's so heartbreaking and I can't imagine how hard it must be to go through three times.

I’ve drummed it into my head that this month I’m not going to test and I’m going to wait for AF or hopefully if it doesn’t come a little while longer so that I don’t know if it’s a CP again. But now I’m wanting to test soooo bad!! 🤦🏽‍♀️ What to do!!! Anybody with me in the TWW waiting to test??

I’m finding it difficult to keep up with everything going on on here but I do watch and am so happy for all of you pregnant ladies. May this happy thread continue for us all 🌈

@Tofu35 yeah I did think they were meant to have that effect, obviously not on me!

@bunnykins123 yeah only pregnacare, first time I ever tried it. Started it as soon as I got a negative test after MC so it’s not like I started in the middle of a cycle and messed it up that way

@PamelaDoov I'm just wondering have you had your COVID booster on the last three months as I had mine in December in the TWW and January I ovulated CD19 instead of CD13 and this month CD18 so I think that may have affected my cycle? Of course I had losses both those months aswell so that also could've affected but I know a lot of women have had issues with ovulation and periods after it

@arianasky no I’ve specifically not booked it for that reason. I was going to have it when I was pregnant. My first jab (last year) made my period 3 weeks late!

@PamelaDoov defo sounds like it's making your cycle a bit weird. Try next month (unless you obviously get a BFP this month 🤞) and see if it makes a difference.

@Prayingformyrainbow93 🙋‍♀️ 6dpo now and nothing to get overly excited about so far. How about you? I wish I could say I won't test but I totally will and will bum myself out when it's a BFN until AF arrives 😂

@snufkin84 it's not been fun, I'm throwing the kitchen sink at it this month until I can have tests done next month 😂 I also had a MMC before DD so that will be the next worry once / if I get past 6 weeks!

Managed to see the doctor today and had confirmed chemical pregnancy. We are gonna TTC again as soon as we can, hopefully third time lucky 🤞🏼 Just wondering if you guys have any tips for TTC. We usually dtd every day on my fertile week but for next time I’m thinking maybe every other day? It’s just getting a bit much and takes the enjoyment out of it a little. Anything else you gals recommend doing? 🤍

Hi guys I was on thread 4 I think?? Just had mmc with vacuum procedure:( me and my partner have decided to try again after my first period. Has anyone else had the vacuum procedure and ttc again so soon after??? Thank you xxx

@snufkin84

Hello all, I hope it's ok for me to join you - I've not read through the whole thread but congratulations to those who have recently become pregnant and good luck to everyone waiting and hoping for that BFP. I'm lucky to have a 3.5 year old DD and have been TTC no. 2 since August 2021. I conceived in November, saw a heartbeat at my 8-week scan, but then found out I was having an MMC at 12 weeks. I had surgical management on 4th February and my period came back on Sunday. I'm relieved to see it appear so soon (I have had two negative pregnancy tests, so EPU have said the miscarriage is definitely complete) but a bit anxious about the fact that it is very light, as I've read that can be a symptom of uterine adhesions. My cycle is usually 26 days so I expect to ovulate around this time next week. Not sure how I feel about it all. I'm desperate to be pregnant again but also full of trepidation and anxiety.

Hey I've been through exactly the same had my procedure on the 15th feb. Also so lucky to have 3 yr old. Im wanting to try again after first period but not been given much info if I should or not?? Were you given any information? Xx

@PamelaDoov fair enough, it sounds like it could be the vitamins then

@bunnykins123 yeah I’m definitely gonna stop, if it turns out it wasn’t the tablets then it’s not like stopping them for a bit will have hurt

@bunnykins123 Ah you’re 6dpo what are you using for tracking ovulation? I use the clear blue ones and got my static smiley on the 19th so if I count the day after as ovulation I think I should be 11dpo? But who knows! I do want to test but I’m just scared to be disappointed after the last couple of months 👎🏽 But fingers crossed for all of us in the tww 🌈 xx

Hi @mummyofrb we had a MVA in mid December.

I got my period In January and we have started TTC - no baby in that cycle, but just ovulated so second cycle now and in the TWW as of today.

Good luck xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 I use a combo of strips and CB tests. I actually always find my CB monitor detects my surge about 12 hrs before the strips 🤷‍♀️ I use Fertility Friend to track and it gives me the day after CB peak as O day. How about you? What DPO are you now? I know the feeling! Sadly, I have to test as I'm on progesterone and need to stop at 12dpo if bfn.

@PamelaDoov exactly, it's not like the vitamins just plummet out of your system when you stop using them.

@Lottie2267 im so sorry 😞 chemicals are just so disappointing. I don't think there is a right or wrong way, but my fertility clinic said every other day 'to allow spermies to replenish'. I know people who have done it once and had a successful pregnancy and those who have done it every day and had a successful pregnancy. TTC is neither fun nor romantic...😂

@flowergarden16 thanks for your response so sorry you've been through it too. I just found info given so vague about trying again. I know they said if I tried again after 2 cycles the pregnancy would be easier to date. I'm so desp to be pregnant but so traumatised after mva, how long did you wait to return to work? I've been off since the 10th feb when we had the bad news and just been signed off another 2 weeks I don't know what's right amount to time??
Lots of good luck to you🌈💕

I only use the clear blue ones I’ve never used anything else! And I’ve just inputted in Ovia app which predicts AF on Saturday so I’m definitely going to wait until at least after that! Usually me and my DP have been looking out for symptoms coming up around the time AF is due but I’m trying to ignore everything cause I don’t want to get my hopes up! When do you think you will start testing!? I hope you get your BFP @bunnykins123

@mummyofrb I was lucky as it was Christmas so was off anyway it's very personal so take your time. It's a very hard thing. X

@mummyofrb I was told it was safe to try again as soon as bleeding has stopped, but preferable to wait for first period to return to make dating easier. I had surgery under general anaesthetic though rather than MVA. Sorry to hear you found the procedure traumatic - I hope you're starting to heal emotionally as well as physically x

@Prayingformyrainbow93 mine is predicting next Saturday so I'm a while off yet! I've learnt that symptoms mean diddly squat - the 1 cycle I had the most symptoms, it was a bfn. Although it is nice to have lots of symptoms! I'm not sure. Part of me wants to try at 9dpo but I know I'll just be so bummed out when it's neg so may just wait till 12dpo to save disappointment. How about you?

@snufkin84 that was what my consultant said too - no need to wait unless I didn't feel ready. I had complications with lingering HCG for 3 months so we started trying about 4 months post op.

I think I’m going to wait at least another week (if AF doesn’t come sooner) last month I got a BFP but it was straight after a MC without a period 5+3 after, so I don’t want to test too early @bunnykins123

@PamelaDoov it's 100% the pregnacare. The one month I took it I didn't ovulate until CD30!! Stopped taking them and everything was back to normal.
