TTC after Miscarriage Thread 8

[mummyofrb]

Just starting this as last thread nearly full💕🌈

I completely understand @Indianna2006 having also got a squinter/indent that wouldn't be anywhere near so hard to judge if I'd waited until tomorrow or the weekend. A tentative fingers crossed! I definitely see yours though and it has colour 😊

@curliegirlie I can see yours aswell. Especially on the second one!! Ugh why do we do this to ourselves lol.

@Indianna2006 That looks like a real line to me! :D

@curliegirlie I see yours too 😮

Here's hoping this is the beginning of lots of BFPs on this thread :D

@Indianna2006 @curliegirlie I would defo test again tomorrow! Good luck girlies 🤞

@theblueflowers awh I'm so sorry. It's so hard being around other people who are either pregnant or have children. Hopefully the dip isn't significant and AF stays away.

@mooneagle you defo can have lingering residual HCG and still ovulate. My 1st pregnancy was a mmc and it took me 3 months for the tests to finally run clear but during that time, my cycles were regular and I ovulated as usual. Unless your test was a blazing positive, I found my lh strips were largely unaffected by HCG (I think it's when there is a lot in your system that it affects lh strips) so I'm guessing O is on her way.

@Indianna2006 @curliegirlie ohhhhh I can see something girls! Eek xx

Well, having done twice more since (I know, I know...) I'm now more and more convinced I'm just catching the indents...

@curliegirlie have u held for long enough/drank too much with it being hot? X

@curliegirlie I would probably hold off until tomorrow now. Your 1st wee will be the best in terms of concentration - good luck, keep us updated! 🤞

I’m certain mine has to be an indent too. I’m not testing until AF is late. Stupid tests 😩😂

off on holiday tomorrow so will update you all in a few days time

Thing is, I remember after the MC when the ICs still were showing squinters at all times of day a week and a half after my bloods had shown my HCG was 27 🤷‍♀️. But you're right, the combo of tomorrow's bbt and a test should give me a better idea...

Hope you have a great holiday @Indianna2006 !

I think I finally O'd yesterday though it was a painful one so we couldn't DTD which has me worried :/ We had done for the previous six days though. Should be able to manage one more tonight. Hopefully we've done enough to at least have a chance this month.

@curliegirlie have you taken anymore?! I’m holding off I think…unsure what to think.

so hard not to get hopes up isn’t it!

@TheBirdintheCave that sounds like plenty of dtd to me 😁 good luck for tww

@calimc83 I don’t think I will believe it if I am pregnant again 🙈🙈 time will tell

I’m convinced I’m out now. This morning’s BBT was 36.51, negative IC and because I’m clearly a woman obsessed, I did one of the FRERs that I ordered when I was feeling more optimistic about yesterday morning’s test - also a pretty clear BFN I think.

I know I’m only a very few months in, but it’s a bit depressing when hearing how easily some people sometimes have it. When I first found out about my surprise in March, I was chatting to my two best friends about how long our kids had taken: one, although had taken a couple of years or more to conceive her first (IVF), her second was second cycle following a CP; the other friend had taken two and three cycles. It would just be nice for it to be my turn to have the quick and easy TTC journey for once, especially with time ticking on 🤷‍♀️

BFN at 12DPO today, expecting AF on Sunday. Onto the next month. My DH said yesterday i should put my fertile window in our shared Google calendar- the romance! Already fed up of TTC and only on 2nd cycle after MC.

@Indianna2006 it will...have an amazing inc holiday and hopefully that BFP will be waiting for you when you get home! ? Or are u taking tests?! Xx

@curliegirlie how many DPO are u lovely?? I'm not a 'temper' I think that'd send me over the edge tbh so not too sure how they work xx

@Cegbee 😆 I'm with your DH on that one..💯doing that as well with my DH next month. Remember you're not out yet, still early xx

I'm 11DPO so it would clearly show up on a FRER if it was going to.

My temps aren't quite below my cover line yet, but definitely heading that way...

@Cegbee I know how you feel, have told DH he’s not allowed away whenever I’m ovulating!
There’s still a chance. Have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@curliegirlie if u go below the cover line does that mean you're out? I definitely didn't get a BFP till after 11DPO if that helps? x

Sorry to hear AF is on her way for some of you. Hopefully she's just sending out false signals and you'll gets your BFPs instead!
AF arrived today for me, which is a good thing, means my cycle might finally be back to normal after MC in March, with a 14 day luteal phase too, longer than before! Hoping my CERM results are in in time to catch the next ovulation (if it's negative anyway!) so I'll be joining you all soon in the TWWs 🤞🏼 xx

My AF arrived. It’s also quite heavy compared to what I had before, it’s the first AF since ERPC though. So maybe it’s still settling. On CD2 now.

Hi everyone. I’ve not been on for a while following my surgical management of MMC two weeks ago. Thank you for all your support, it really helped me get through the worst time of my life. Feeling in a much better place mentally although still off work for a few more days (this will take me to 3 weeks off, which I already feel guilty about).
I’ve noticed some EWCM for the past few days, which I’m hoping means I’ll ovulate soon. I want to get a normal cycle out of the way before trying again. I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading and come to the conclusion that I have poor quality eggs because of my age (I’m 37). Not much I can do about that but I’ve started taking coenzyme q10 to help boost egg quality. I’ve also started temping to keep track of ovulation as the confusion around dates after my scan in the last pregnancy caused a lot of uncertainty and false hope. Basically feel like throwing the kitchen sink at this but I do have a bit of an obsessive personality so need to balance it with some other relaxing and stress-relieving activities.
Sorry for the massive brain-dump essay! It’s so helpful to have this community where everyone has been through similar experiences 💔

@pangolin84 hi, sorry to hear about your MC and how you’re feeling. It’s the uncertainty and emotional rollercoaster that is all so wearing. I hope ovulation happens soon and you can continue your journey 💕

Just an update from me as I’m starting to feel rotten again, after my random 20 day cycle (cycles all over the place after MC in February- didn’t have very regular cycles before though). I’m now on day 14 of this cycle and no sign of ovulation, I’ve started the digital clear blue tests and no smiley faces. Started temping in the last 3 days (no idea why I didn’t start at the beginning of the cycle!) but there’s a slight increase in temp happening- need longer to see if it’s sustained. There’s a little more CM this cycle than the last few cycles. Def think I didn’t ovulate the last 2 cycles. Just feeling tired, fed up and upset when I see what feels like everyone else pregnant or with babies. Wishing everyone the best!

@pangolin84 I'm glad you're feeling much better and taking control of what is next for you. Wishing you all the best 🥰.
@Totoro1234 have you tried any of the supplements that are meant to balance your cycles? I have been taking myo-inositol which is meant to balance for some, but you'd need to check if it's suitable for you (it's good for PCOS, but not if you have low ovarian reserve apparently). There's also agnus cactus (I've never used but think a few on here have). Also seed cycling to regulate your cycles, that's a more holistic approach but perhaps something to look into if you're feeling frustrated and don't know where to start 😘. Again, wishing you all the best xx
