TTC after Miscarriage Thread 8

[mummyofrb]

Just starting this as last thread nearly full💕🌈

@calimc83 awwwww congratulations!!!!! Buzzing for ya

I've one more test, gonna hold off until this weekend and test then!

@MrsGrealish I hope you get a negative test soon too 🤞 it seems so contradictory doesn't it, hoping for a single line when all along just want that double to stick. It's definitely a headfudge. I've been super snappy with my DH too so you're not alone in that, he forgets quite easily what I'm going through in my emotions "because it was over 4 weeks ago" until I remind him that yes, the main event was but the rest of the recovery is still ongoing and all the reminders I get from my body in between! Glad that you've had a good conversation with your OH too and are in a better space. 💐

@bunnykins123 thank you for sharing your story, it does sound almost identical! If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for you to have a negative test and/or AF after your very similar experience, or are you still going through it/waiting now? My other 2 miscarriages were done and dusted a lot quicker and back to neg within less than 3weeks so I'm in uncharted territory for me. I don't like this limbo.

Awww @calimc83! I've got butterflies for you! 🦋🦋🦋 huge congratulations!

@calimc83 wonderful news! Tentative congratulations and echo what the others have said. You have got this 💪🏼, we're here for you also. Sending hugs and hi-5's xx

@Margo34 oh thank god. I thought it was just me being a terrible person. He went to every appointment with me so he saw every last miserable detail. We are good now 🙏 hope it lasts

@Indianna2006 I think you might be right with this weird discharge. Awful dark brown stuff earlier not a lot though so maybe body is clearing itself 🤞

@calimc83 congratulations 😬

Congratulations @calimc83! I hope you have a happy and straightforward nine months! :D

@Margo34 12 weeks 😢 I think it depends on how high your HCG levels were at the time of your miscarriage with the higher they are, the longer it takes for them to reduce. That's my theory anyway! I was convinced I had retained product or an ectopic but neither were true - my body just didn't want to let go.

@bunnykins123 wow that's a lot time to have HCG still hanging around! 😟 Are you ok now? Bet that must have taken its toll emotionally, too. 😢

@Margo34 that was back in 2018 then I went on to have DD so there was no issues from it. I think the hardest part was the lack of answers or any understanding from the professionals. They all looked at me like I was bonkers for 'testing when not pregnant'. Maybe these tests have a lot to answer for now as they are so sensitive so it's a relatively new 'thing' but still!

Thank you soooo much everyone, you've all been incredibly kind. It's so lovely to have your support. Here's hoping you all join me very soon. Praying 🙏 this one sticks...I have my first appointment Friday at the MC clinic so hoping they give me alll the drugs to help things along 😆..@Chellooo will u test today or hold off a little longer do u think? Xx

Just catching up- @calimc83 this is amazing! Massive congratulations, and hoping that everything goes smoothly for you xx

AF is a no show for me. I've had brown spotting since yesterday so expected it to show this morning as normal but nothing. Tests are still negative so I guess maybe I ovulated a day or two later than I thought? Who knows 😂Irritating though as I just want to get going with the next cycle now.

@calimc83 oh congrats!! Gives me hope! I hope it all goes smoothly!!

@TheBirdintheCave so annoying when it does that! Some times it’s just a few days out. Luteal phase doesn’t change much but can by a day or two. But when your waiting for AF to arrive. A day seems like forever doesn’t it!

well CD12 today. No peak on opk this morning. Which was when I got last cycle. An that’s bloody annoying as DH goes away early tomo morning for whole weekend!! So I’m bound to peak whilst he’s away. Like tomo or Saturday grr!

dtd this morning. And told him he’s gotta get up super early to dtd before he goes for the weekend 🤣🤣🤣 normally we just go with flow but with him going away I’ll have to pin him down haha.

fingers crossed that will be enough. We won’t of missed the window as such. But maybe not ideal. Might be only dtd -2 and -1 but alas that’s all I can do lol. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Not all is lost as even if you peak tomorrow or Saturday, your chances are still good Sunday/Monday 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Also CD12 here and OPKs beginning to darken...dunno whether that'll mean I will ovulate Saturday or Sunday...Fingers crossed...

@curliegirlie what app is this please?

Pre-Mom! You don't have to use Easy @ Home tests, just upload other cheapies to the 'other' section.

@curliegirlie it's good you are doing them in afternoon. Fmu is shocking for these ovulation tests xx

This is my recent month. Not been doing them religiously because we aren't officially ttc 🙈

@theblueflowers @mooneagle thank you 😊 lovely's xxx

Girls - I found out the other day your fit bit pretty much tells you when u ovulated - so when you ovulate your Resting heart rate increases. It should then drop back down again, I didn't use opks for my cycle just gone but my fit bit tells me I ovulated cd14..which ties in with ewcm as well 🙈 xx

Unfortunately cause of my stupid PCOS I never sure if I ovulate!!
