TWW after miscarriage

Hi everyone,

Thought I’d start a thread here for anyone in a similar place.

I found out back in April that I was having a missed miscarriage (MMC). Basically nothing grew after about 5 weeks and we found out at about 6.5 weeks. It was gutting. I opted to go down the surgical route (totally happy to answer questions if anyone had any). That was on April 17th.

We had sort of intended to wait until after my first period to try again just to make dating easier if I caught. I was away for work last week and just kind of assumed I ovulated then as that would have been during the 2 weeks after the surgery.

BUT yesterday I had a bunch of EWCM and we also DTD with no pressure as we weren’t really ‘trying’. Lo and behold I’ve had a peak OPK reading today so looks like I’ll ovulate tomorrow. Didn’t expect that and thought maybe my EWCM was just messed up timing cause my cycle is weird after the MC.

I’m not sure how to feel! When we tried before the MC I fell pregnant the first time and we were so shocked and pleased. So this time I’m thinking like, are we lucky enough for that to happen again? Probably not, but it would be amazing.

I’m also worried that if I do fall again it’ll be a huge faff with dating and that we’ll get a row 😂 or be perpetually worried if timings are behind etc. That’s why I took an OPK today as I wasn’t intending to track this month to give myself a break.

Anyone else in a similar position? Or trying again after an MC? 💜

Hey @DarkCrystal85!

So glad to hear you were able to see your donor at the right time - yay! Massive fingers crossed for you. So 6dpo - so less than a week now til you can hopefully get a reliable test? Not too long!

I’m feeling good this month! I have a sneaky suspicion I maybe didn’t ovulate last cycle as I never really had any ovulation pains and that’s always super common for me. But I’ve had a bunch this cycle so that’s good.

This cycle I’ve had buckets of EWCM 😂 it lasted for about 6 days so I’m hoping that means I’m really fertile. We managed to time DTD really well with ovulation too. Thank god for OPKs - I ov’d on CD19 and would just never have known without OPKs. The cycle I fell I ov’d on CD17 so hoping it doesn’t make a difference that it’s a bit later.

1dpo for me now! Long wait ahead 😂

@V1kster88 how are you getting on?

Apologies @purplecolouroffunk we’ve had three deaths in the family since our miscarriage in May so I’ve been a little all over the place!

I see you got your positive test - congrats that’s amazing! Hoping it’s all going well so far.

I did a test yesterday at 10 dpo and saw a very faint second line, which I thought may be an evap line but I’ve done 5 more since, watching them progress and the faint line is still there - eek! AF is due Thursday so will test with a Clearblue at the end of the week 🤞🏻. Amazing how quick the worry sets in!

@V1kster88 oh my goodness I’m so so sorry to hear that. What a horrible time for you. I really hope you’re doing okay 💜

Awwe I see that line - eek! Gentle congrats 😊 I know, the worry does set in quickly doesn’t it.

I started a thread on BFP after recent loss, let me know if you fancy the link. I know Mumsnet can be a lot to deal with though when you’re going through things 💜
