5DPO first cycle after MMC

17 replies

Kellyaust · 22/06/2023 11:04

So I had an MMC in may.... 8th may I passed baby was supposed to be 10 weeks but baby was measuring 6. I've bled right upto 6th june and finally ovulated for the first time on 17th June (positive opk 17th...faint again 18th plus I always get severe OV pain)

I'm now 5DPO...and since 3DPO I've had period like cramps... A lot on the left and lower back too, CM isn't as much as it was at 4DPO now.... I feel like I'm going insane could it be period cramps so early after OV??? Is it because my cycle will be all messed up since my MMC? Or could I possibly be pregnant again? We had sex 16th June and both times I've been pregnant the first month ttc... I say my husband has super sperm 😅

Thanks for reading

So sorry to hear about your MMC! Sending love to you! 💜

I’m 6DPO today; I have had the simulate twinges and cramps as you since 3/4 DPO; but I’ve had them every month since TTC’ing and convinced myself I was pregnant and unfortunately I haven’t been. Could be a good sign for you.

im trying not to symptom spot; but yesterday I had the most god awful metallic taste in my mouth, I know it’s a symptom of pregnancy but I googled anyway, it’s also a symptom of a cold / sinus infection, which I believe I had over the weekend so have ruled myself out with that symptom lol.

are you an early tester or will you hold out? Feel like we can go this TWW together as we’re 1 day apart on DPO!

sending lots of baby dust.

Thank you, it was a complete shock all was fine and I was due my dating scan the day after i started with cramps... I've never ever ever imagined I could have an MC I've had 3 healthy children so it's been a roller coaster 😔

Oh I'm an early tester I will drive myself insane... I do remember when I fell pregnant in Feb I had period like cramps so thought I couldn't poss be pregnant and I was.

Guess I'm just holding out hope, tbh I could do with having a period first but can't help but also want to be pregnant again.

How long have you been ttc?

Sending baby dust to you also fingers crossed 💜💖

I know, since being on this threat and seeing how many people have had MMC or CP it's so much more common than you would even think. It's so heartbreaking.

I was an early tester the first two months trying but then the last 3 I've been laid back. This is my 5th month TTC'ing for my first.

Hoping I get my BFP soon! 🤞🏻

Kellyaust · 22/06/2023 13:15

Do you track ovulation? First time I did that in Feb I got pregnant 1st try, but I do have endometriosis so I'm expecting it to be longer this time but I've always said my husband has super sperm to get me pregnant coz I'm full of endometriosis 😂

OP posts:
Nmmck93 · 22/06/2023 13:17

I do track ovulation yeah since Feb.
I had endo growing up, had two surgeries and haven't had very many flare ups compared to what I use to. I'm making an appointment with my GP next month just to confirm that I am ovulating properly and getting an all round check up. So hopefully if no BFP this month hopefully next month I can get a checkup x

Kellyaust · 22/06/2023 13:39

Ah really, they never have offered me surgery for mine I think because I found out I had it AFTER my first 2 children they didn't seem to care tbh.

You'll have to keep me updated on this thread if you get your bfp this month or each day if you have any more symptoms.

I'm currently sat with hot water bottle on my tummy seriously everytime I go to the loo I expect to see af has arrived 😕

Hey gals! I came here to basically write what ye hae written 😂 7dpo here and I have been so so nauseous and bloated today. Had period like cramps yesterday and a few twinges this morning. TMI but also going to the toilet alot more the last few days. I'm possibly coming down with something but even today I went to fill the car with diesel and nearly vomited with the smell and as soon as I got home from work the smell of my husbands dinner (a burger so not overly smelly) had me gagging. He even asked what happened my stomach because it is so bloated. We are TTC 11 months now with 2 miscarriages within that time frame, and another about 3 years ago.

Nmmck93 · 22/06/2023 21:13

@Kellyaust oh I had my first surgery within a year because you can't fully diagnose endometriosis until you're opened up so they can see the endometriosis tissue, unless they can now with new tech but 11 years ago they had to open you up. Then within a year after my first surgery I got a second surgery because my flare ups where so bad so they had to go in and cut again.

I shall keep you updated & you update me too.
I'm absolutely exhausted, I've had 2 naps this week and been asleep just after 12 every night and that is 100% not me, I'm sure it's just me sleeping off the illness I had last week. I'm putting all my symptoms down to being ill last week lol.

@BudgetBuster sorry to hear about your miscarriages darling 💜
But the nausea at food is a good sign I'm nearly sure. I haven't had that as a symptom yet except my first month TTC everything I ate made me nauseous 🙈 but the twinges & cramps I get monthly now on my TWW.

Kellyaust · 22/06/2023 21:13

@BudgetBuster so sorry for your losses it's so hard isn't it 😪 have you had any testing etc??

I don't want to get my hopes up but the symptoms are strange n I've been having them since 3dpo.... I don't think I'm lucky enough to conceive again before I've even had a period but time will tell I guess 🤞

OP posts:
Kellyaust · 22/06/2023 21:36

@Nmmck93 yes I did have a laparoscopy to find the endo, that was about 9 years ago but the doctor didn't actually touch the endo while they were in there which I found strange!!! I had lap and dye and no dye was coming through either tube at the time either! And told me I would likely not have any ore children... Yet I've gone on to have 2 pregnancies since... One ending in mmc but unrelated to the endo 🤔

We seem to symptom spot.... Then back track and say no no that is because of this... Haha we are a crazy breed aren't we, I didn't know if I was ready to be preg again so soon... But now I think I'll be gutted if I'm not... God us women 🤦‍♀️😅

BudgetBuster · 22/06/2023 21:38

Yes, just got my results Monday actually that all tests were normal. My husband hadn't any testing though as he already has a child from a previous relationship but if we had any more losses he will go for testing too. I know the first time two times I was pregnant I didn't actually test until I was about 5 weeks because I kept thinking AF was coming because of my cramps. But I don't think the symptoms were this early too so I'm going to keep telling myself I'm just getting a bug 😂

Nmmck93 · 22/06/2023 21:39

@Kellyaust awww yeah I understand but very odd they didn't remove it for you? That shouldn't have been allowed, because they just kind of left you to continue to suffer in pain.

Oh 100% symptom spotting like mad but always try and tell myself it's something else to try and not get my hopes up 🙈 aw you knew you'd be ready to be pregnant again once you started TTC'ing after your MMC. The stark negative pregnancy tests is an absolute killer though. I hate to see them each time x

BudgetBuster · 22/06/2023 21:47

You would 100% know if you weren't ready to TTC again. After my miscarriage in November, we went straight back to trying, conceived again in Feb but that's actually the first cycle my period had regulated. After the miscarriage in April I wouldn't even look at my poor husband 😂 Told him I was going to buy a chateau abroad and drink wine all day everyday for the rest of my life. Then one day, we both just knew we were ready @Kellyaust

Kellyaust · 26/06/2023 18:13

@Nmmck93 yes I was shocked after when they told me I had endo but they didn't touch it.... There excuse everytime I've been back is let's wait... We might make it worse my operating 🤷‍♀️

@BudgetBuster yes I guess I wouldn't be so obsessive if I wasn't ready 😂🤦‍♀️ I just scares me to admit I want to be pregnant again in case it doesn't happen I guess....

I'm now 8dpo and since yesterday I've had awful awful af type cramps... I'd say they're more nauseating than af cramps though!!! I had a BM this morn sorry tmi... And when I wiped my front I had some blood.... Absolutely nothing since... And this I don't know if it's false positive or what tbh so now I'm on a panic....

@Kellyaust oh, I would ask for a second opinion as I honestly don’t think it can be made worse operating at all, only better.

oh my gosh, I 100% see something. Test again tomorrow with FMU as I’ve seen people say the HCG doubles every 48 hours. Fingers crossed this is your BFP 💜

i’m 11dpo and have tested using a cheap test, thought I say something and I let it dry out to see if it would dry darker but absolutely nothing so I think I’m out this month and waiting for AF.
the only thing that’s confusing me is I usually get absolutely aching boobs before my period is due around this time like super sore to touch and I haven’t got them yet. 🤞🏻

Kellyaust · 27/06/2023 09:12

@Nmmck93 yeah you're not out til the horrible witch arrives... We can only wait and hope can't we 🤞
