No contraception since nov 2021. MMC at 10 weeks in April 2022 and absolutely nothing since….til now! It’s been a looooong 15 months trying everything under the sun, fertility bloods etc with no success. Last year’s was my fourth mc (have had children in between) but I’ve never had a problem getting pregnant before so it was a new one for me and it was very depressing.
Only one thing this month was different - after my mc last year I started having a lot of cramps and weird pains all the way through my cycle which never happened before. I got really worried about scarring and had a private HyCoSy in feb this year which showed clear tubes etc - heard all the stories about increased fertility for 3 months after - still nothing.
So last cycle I decided to go all out, which included using preseed for the first time - which still didn’t get me pregnant but did give me a very grim double dose of thrush and BV for which I ended up on antibiotics…and then this cycle was the first one post mc where I didn’t have all sorts of weird pains and aches - and now have a BFP! I never had any signs of any problems but I wonder if after mc I had some kind of low level infection that wasn’t bad enough to become acute but was enough to stop me getting pregnant and the antibiotics have sorted it out.
Nothing else changed except that I was pretty much on the brink of accepting that it would never happen and was starting to just give up and mentally move on from the whole ttc thing…I thought about it less this month than at any point since I mc; didn’t even track ovulation. We were also both insanely busy and knackered so had way less sex than usual 🤷♀️
Still feels very surreal and I have a hard time staying pregnant so I know it’s a long and uncertain time ahead - but I’m so happy we’ve got this far; this is the first hurdle! Just counting down the next few weeks til I can have an early scan now 🤞
