Hi all and thanks for the tag @Ella31 ☺️

I'm now officially back to TTC for the first time since mc. Ovulation tests have showed high positive results today so hoping ovulation happens tomorrow. Part of me is a bit gutted to be back here and counting down the DPOs however aside from that I feel good and quite optimistic about it all.

ToeBeans24 · 20/04/2024 21:43

Thank you for being so kind @Ella31 ☺️

emmatcc1 · 20/04/2024 23:22

@ToeBeans24 my first cycle after mc was normal but the second one was a week late.

DonnaWhat · 20/04/2024 23:37

@Ella31 thankyou for the tag in new thread. I hope your week has been a good one.

I'm really confused ladies. I'm 4 weeks post d and c and 1 week and 2 days since my negative test. I started tracking my ovulation from last Saturday. There was only one line on Saturday and then I tested Monday and there was a faint line. Then it stayed like that right upto Thursday. With the line not getting darker i thought id just wait for AF to arrive and start tracking again. We DTD this morning and I thought I'd just test to see and I have a darker line today (although still faint but darkest its been) so I thought ovulation must be coming soon, I'll test again tomorrow and so on but I've gone to the loo just now and i have very light pink blood / water when I wipe. (Sorry if tmi) now I don't know what the he'll is going on. I've never had ovulation bleeds which uncle google suggests.

Has anyone else every experienced this? Obviously not had a period since miscarriage yet, just not sure on my new normal now.

Hope everyone's doing well.

Your body could just be trying to regulate itself after your MC, it’s so difficult to navigate through that time. After my MC in December it was 6weeks before I ovulated.

ToeBeans24 · 21/04/2024 09:36

@emmatcc1 thanks for your comment that’s really helpful to know. Feel so out of control not knowing where in my cycle I am. Don’t even know when to test / expect AF. I’ll wait a week like you said so maybe this coming weds / Thurs and if no sign of AF I’ll test xx

jellyfish2 · 21/04/2024 10:35

@DonnaWhat I was almost 5 weeks post MC before I ovulated. I didn't realise how long it would take. My period was very very light too so not sure how it'll go next week when my period is due again. I think our bodies are haywire for a while after sadly.

@Ella31 how's your acupuncture going? I'd be interested to hear if it works for you!

I agree with @Ncl31 I think your body is trying to recover. It will fall back in place. Before my twins I remember agonising over this. I didn't have a d&c but my cycle did take 9 weeks to return. Yours could be earlier, there's no real science to this. Your body dictates. Keep testing but try to let it happen. Easier said than done by the way.

Really good @jellyfish2 had no af pains or tiredness two weeks ago when it arrived. Mood definitely better. I'll be interested to see if ovulation will come earlier. And see what my lp will be like. I'll keep you updated.

Ladies. First cycle after my CP last month. Started testing using cb advanced ovulation sticks on day 7 as I’m normally a 27 day cycle. First day was low fertility as it always does with a new tester and then every day since has been high fertility. Now on cycle day 15 and my 8th day of the flashing face. Feel like giving up. Anyone ever experienced this before? It says to stop testing after 9 days

ToeBeans24 · 21/04/2024 14:52

@B1989 sounds just like me! Last cycle was my first after CP and was fine albeit 2 days longer. This cycle is rouge. Got a positive opk at 14 but think ovulated much later as no af and hpt neg

@B1989 I had a similar experience, but it was pre- MMC, the cycle before I got pregnant. I tested 'high' for 9 days (CD 7-15) until I got my peak on day 10 of testing (CD 16). That cycle ended being 31 days (unusual for me)...

Thanks for sharing! And good to know it can sometimes happen! I can’t face bd that much, becomes too stressful 😅that said, I’ll keep on testing

B1989 · 22/04/2024 09:44

Static face this morning (phew!) so ovulation will probably take place tomorrow. That leaves me with a 10 day luteul phase. Anyone else have a shorter phase and have you gone to doctor about it?

emmatcc1 · 20/04/2024 23:22

@ToeBeans24 my first cycle after mc was normal but the second one was a week late.

Mine was nearly 2 weeks late then came with a vengeance. Back tracking ovulation now.

ToeBeans24 · 22/04/2024 11:44

I think I have just got a bfp on a frer. I’m so full of anxiety as no idea how many dpo I am.

i did a Wonfo IC (10mIU) last Monday and BFN.
I did a Morrisons test Friday (25mIU) and BfN.

According to OPK this month I am 19dpo but I wonder if I ovulated as previously mentioned in this chat due to EWCM at CD23. I therefore wonder if I’m only actually 10-11dpo.

Im happy but after a loss I’m so so anxious and not knowing when I did actually ovulate for definite is making me spiral 😢

Just saw this. That's wonderful. I would take the egcm as a given ovulation wise. Have you a picture. You can put a trigger warning on it too for those who don't want to see it.

I dis after my neonatal loss. 9 day. Started taking proceive and vit c. I'm on 12 days now. I think it could have been my body regulating though. I'm only 5 and a half months pp. Also I got pregnant with my late twins on a 10 day lp.

Can I ask someone to explain EWCM to me please as it's something I've never really got my head round. Sorry if this is going to sound really stupid 😂😂
Egg whites are clear (when uncooked) but white (when cooked) and the word "white" throws me off. What would I be looking for? I assume it's clear discharge, like a raw egg, but when I wipe on white toilet paper I can't really tell what colour it's supposed to be? And at what point would you expect to see it, is it before ovulation or during?
Thanks 🙃

Eeek this looks good!! Congratulations and I hope you can relax soon 🤞🏼
I seem to remember your username from another thread but no idea which one as I lurk in a lot of them haha. Got everything crossed for you 💞

emmatcc1 · 22/04/2024 13:04

@Ella31 I’m cd 12 also have a bit of ewcm. I’m wondering if I ovulated already but last month I had a late ovulation on cd20.
I think I’m gonna start tracking bbt again just to know when I ovulate.

At your most fertile, it's clear and stretchy like raw egg whites. Cloudy white is usually nearing ovulation
