I have searched and can’t find a thread for anyone who’s Ttc this month!
I’ll be onto month 4 since I had a mmc of trying to conceive! I won’t lie when AF showed yesterday I had a full blown meltdown about it and felt like I would never get pregnant when in reality 3 months really isn’t that long!
I am very lucky to already have 2 wonderful little boys age 7 &3 but really would like a 3rd to make out family complete!

I'm on CD1 today. I had a MMC in February. When did you have yours? This is only my second period and it's still pretty light which is worrying me. I'm hoping it gets a bit heavier. May will be our first month ttc again. Hope May is a lucky month for us!

TicklishDreamer · 25/04/2024 14:06

@jellyfish2 i had mine in February at 10 weeks!

my periods have been really light post miscarriage and I’ve started spotting day before it’s due which is new for me too!

I hope it is our lucky month! I’m so desperate to complete my family! But know I am so lucky to already have my 2 boys!

Did you have surgery? I already have one son but desperate for him to have a sibling too. When are you due to ovulate in may? The spotting is new to me too, just hope everything is working the same as I keep googling which isn't good.

TicklishDreamer · 25/04/2024 15:34

No thankfully I passed everything naturally between the first scan when I started bleeding and the second scan which I was really grateful for to be honest!

im due to ovulate 6th mayish! When are you due to ovulate!

it’s my biggest worry to that somehow my miscarriage has messed everything up and I can’t get pregnant now!

You're definitely at less of a risk because yours happened naturally.
My cycles are relatively long so I'm not until about 14th may.

Can I join? CD11 2nd month of trying after a molar pregnancy in October (I had to wait for the all clear in Feb)
getting very impatient as I had a D&E in October so the waiting is hard
im sorry about your loss, my periods when they came back were different, so I think they certainly could change after a misscarriage

TicklishDreamer · 25/04/2024 17:02

@jellyfish2 did you have to have surgery then? Yes they told me I was less at risk because my body did it naturally it was a blessing given the situation!

@Lemoncake199111 absolutely you can join! I’m so sorry about your molar pregnancy! I imagine the waiting was awful!
hopefully having a group will make the month go quicker and we all get BFP at the end of it!

Hey! Can I join? I'm cycle day 12, due to ovulate Sunday (which coincides with my due date from a 12 week MMC in October). I think because of that I'm pinning a lot of hope on it but it's only our first cycle of TTC again (after another MMC in January!) so I'm doubtful...

jellyfish2 · 25/04/2024 17:41

@TicklishDreamer yeah I did, baby was measuring 8 weeks and I was 12 weeks pregnant so I didn't want to have to wait any longer just wanted it all to be over. Thankfully my period feels a little more like pre MC although not 100% the same.

@ThelastRolo20 how's your holiday? Hope you've managed to dtd in amongst drinking cocktails 🍹

ThelastRolo20 · 25/04/2024 18:24

@jellyfish2 I'm sporting quite the hangover today but managed to DTD twice and also plan to tonight, Saturday and Monday 🤞🏻🤞🏻

ThelastRolo20 · 25/04/2024 18:26

@jellyfish2 my cycle seems to be around 2 days shorter these days after surgery in Jan, don't know if I'm ovulating earlier or shorter luteal phase - hoping it's the former! 😬

Where are you in your cycle now? X

Bb542 · 25/04/2024 18:47

Can I join too? I'm on CD5. Second period since my miscarriage in February. Anyone else's emotions all over the place? 😅

Sorry for your loss OP and everyone else who has been through miscarriage 💔😩 it's tough!

Bb542 · 25/04/2024 18:49

@jellyfish2 my period has just ended and it was so light 😩 I've always had light periods but this one was particularly light. I'm hoping it's nothing to be worried about 😟

ThelastRolo20 · 25/04/2024 19:00

@Bb542 it can take a few cycles to fully regulate but people absolutely conceive after a light period, and remember that was the result of the last cycle - it may be more back to normal amount this month so fingers crossed 🤞🏻🥰

TicklishDreamer · 25/04/2024 19:10

hello to all the new comers!
@ThelastRolo20 I’d be the same thinking it would have been due date so must be meant to be! I keep thinking it must be this cycle because baby would be due in February and that’s when I had my miscarriage!
I never realised how common miscarriage really was until I went through it!

@Bb542 my emotions are all over the place since my miscarriage too! It’s been awful rollercoaster of emotions!

OP posts:
jellyfish2 · 25/04/2024 20:21

@ThelastRolo20 sounds like you're getting the fertile week covered! My period properly started today so CD1 for me. Feeling more hopeful as it seems to be a bit heavier than the pretty much non existent one that was last month.

@Bb542 I have googled so much and saw that people who have light periods have conceived just fine. Especially if your periods have always been somewhat light whereas mine never have.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Have felt so sad the last few days for no reason. And so, so broody. I saw a newborn baby today and nearly burst into tears 😔

Objectiontime · 25/04/2024 20:33

I'd love to join you ladies if I may, cycle 5 after starting to try again after an MMC in the Autumn. Cycle day 2. Feeling really fed up. Due date on the MMC pregnancy coming up and making things a whole lot worse.

TicklishDreamer · 25/04/2024 20:38

@Objectiontime i can’t imagine due date coming up, mine would have been September and my youngest starts school nursery then too so if I’m not pregnant I’m going to be an absolute wreck! I’m cycle day 2 also! I’ve done a whole meal plan for month with food that’s super good for fertility I’m sure my 2 boys will love all the veg and not chicken nuggets! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Bb542 I can’t look at newborns makes me so sad 😞

ThelastRolo20 · 25/04/2024 20:41

@Objectiontime oh lovely it's so bloody difficult and hardly anyone understands but we do! It's my due date this weekend but I'm feeling okay at the moment

@jellyfish2 ah yes! I remember you were going to be about two weeks apart, so glad period seemed more normal for you

ThelastRolo20 · 25/04/2024 20:42

@TicklishDreamer @Bb542 the emotions around it all are bloody tough aren't they. But we have to remain hopeful, I'm very lucky to have a 2 year old already so trying to take a what will be, will be approach. Which is particularly difficult right now as 3 of my close friends are all pregnant with their seconds 🤦‍♀️

Mrscmay17 · 25/04/2024 20:43

I'd love to join you all 💖have just decided to start trying for our 3rd. We were very lucky with our first & conceived within the first month! Our second took a lot longer & we had 2 mc in between. Who knows what is in store now. Hopefully some baby dust for all of us 💖💖💖

My trigger is scan pics. I found out at my 12 week scan. I'm ok with seeing pregnant ladies and babies but the mention of or sight of a scan has me blubbering. Hopefully we will get there soon.

Ah bless you, thinking of you for this weekend and you are right about people generally not understanding. Not too sure that any of my friends or even immediate family have a clue. I asked my brother if he remembered what my due date was and he just said what due date, typical.

Objectiontime · 25/04/2024 21:05

Good luck to all of us on here. Let's keep hapoy and hopeful ladies x
