TTC after chemical pregnancy

[LucyCL]

I had a MC this Jan , 6 weeks and 1 day. Then I had a CP last Tuesday, 4 weeks and 6 days. I finally stopped bleeding today. Two pregnancies and two MCs so far.

I would like to know what your ttc experiences were like after CP. I admit I felt so lost when I saw the line getting fainter and I have been feeling very low and anxious for the last 7 days. However it is not healthy and it is time to be positive! So, I will be trying again this month. That is why I decided to start this thread.

Because CD15 was your highest peak, so today would be your O day. It'd be great to have BBT to confirm this as well. Please keep testing because GreenPickle got her real peak around CD30. I don't know if your cycle after CP is going to be like hers however you have been feeling nauseous which tells me that your hormone levels are probably fluctuating. The cycle after CP is always unpredictable. Keep being hopeful!!💛

The BBT is on this chart, blue line? x

I am still struggling a bit to be honest and that is why I became obsessed with my devices. Sometimes I still think about 2 MCs and it comes and goes. 😕

In that case, BBT confirmed the ovulation. : )

Also if BBT stays elevated for 3 days, Ovulation has probably happened. If you are still not sure of it, I’d recommend you to do a 7DO progesterone test to confirm it.

Ladies, thank you so much for your responses to my posts on here. I must apologise and say that I’m not terribly good at keeping track of what’s going on on here. I read quite a lot but I’m not actually brilliant at coming back to people and saying thank you so thank you so much for all your advice/information.
One of you happened to ask if I knew Whether I had definitely ovulated after my OPK had shown my surge and the answer to that one is a big no. I think probably I didn’t actually ovulate at all. Last month when I had my chemical, I’ve actually had a double surge, about a week apart, Which I know happens sometimes and going by when I got my BFP I suspect that I conceived on the second one.
I have a little orange tinged discharged today (sorry TMI) so I’m thinking that period may be coming, although I have no cramping all the usual signs. I suppose there is a very very slim chance that I ovulated late and caught some sperm hanging around in the system but I would still be pretty late if it was implantation so I guess I just wait and see.

Hi there, where can I get a progesterone test please. This would be really useful in the future 😁

Please check this.

Good luck !🤞

Thank you very much 😁

Because it is the luteal phase of the second cycle after CP and I stopped taking vitamin E, Maca capsules and vitamin b6, I plan to do a female hormone blood test on 7 dpo (9/7/24) to check if my female hormone levels are normal for peace of mind. I did one last cycle and they were all within normal range. Fingers crossed!

Well I did a FR this morning and a IC both positive within 1 min. I was a bit sceptical of the FR as I ordered from Amazon and they had solid dark pink lids. I am 10-11 DPO so not sure if my ones are ok, I deleted last months positives. I have had added a photo but please don’t look if it will upset you and I apologise if it does.
we used pressed this month, CQ10, and seed cycling. I also placed a soft disc in after as I was traveling and wasn’t seeing BF for 5 days. That was on the Wednesday and I believe I ovulated Thursday or Friday. Xxx

Posting daily as I feel like it’s helping my mind!
BBT staying elevated.

Still feeling nauseous!

Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Everyone's body is different so normally I don't get upset to see other people's BFPs. 😅 However there was a girl who had CP two weeks after me and she got pregnant immediately when I just finished AF this current cycle. That made me sad and happy at the same time. I was wondering why it didn't happen to me. That is because I still had expectations for myself back then. Now I have made peace with myself and have no more expectations. I will be fine if AF arrives too. Because it will give my body more time to recover from CP which is a good thing.
Do you think the soft disc really helped? How long did you keep it inside? Thank you for sharing! 😀

I used to be like you, posting daily and talking to GreenPickle was the main part of healing. However it might become emotionally and mentally draining later because you cannot stop thinking about getting pregnant asap (That was me and GreenPickle). BUT It is healthy to talk about it and share our feelings. 😀

Once again Mira has successfully made me worried about having low progesterone and estrogen so I am determined to do a female hormone blood test tomorrow morning to make sure everything is fine.

Congratulations @Joleyjojo!

BBT has fallen even lower today, and BFN. No period yet but I’m sure it’ll be here soon. It’s two days late now but I guess some variance is to be expected.

Onwards!

Good luck with the hormone tests, @LucyCL. Do you think you’ve got too many data sources now, or are you still finding them all useful?

😂It is a love hate relationship between me and my devices.
I have been using RHR, wrist temperature, Mira, Temsdrop, BBT (OvuSense), LH strips, Oral BBT and CBFM to help me this cycle.

How useful are they for me?
RHR and wrist temperature are not reliable at all so I have ignored them most days of the cycle.
Oral BBT and Temdrop are like second opinions.
Mira is great to find out why I had light spotting on CD16 but it makes me become concerned about my estrogen and progesterone levels. I have found people saying Mira might not reflect accurate information.
LH strips, CBFM and OvuSense are the ones which I rely the most.

This cycle is about testing devices and seeing how accurate they are to show the data. Fun experiment. 😁

Tomorrow if the result shows that all my female hormone levels are within the normal range, I would treat Mira as a second opinion.

If no BFP this cycle, I will only use OvuSense BBT, LH strips and CBFM for the future cycles plus Oral BBT and Mira as the second opinions (with a pinch of salt, of course😆).

I am still finding the whole TTC experience fascinating because I keep find new things which I have never head before . That normally makes me super curious and ask lots of questions. 😂
So here they are!

1. Which lubricant do you use?
2. Preseed vs Conceive Plus: which one is better?
3. The soft cup and Preseed: have you used both before? If yes, how did you use them? How was the experience? Did you get a BFP?

My experience: I used Conceive Plus for three cycles and got pregnant twice.

Some things I found just now ...
USING PRESEED LUBRICANT TRYING TO CONCEIVE

USING SOFTCUPS TRYING TO CONCEIVE

I was trying for around 8 months, the first BFP I used a soft disc. This ended in CP.
i have now got a BFP 1st cycle after CP used pre seed, soft disc which I put in straight after and left it in for about 9 hours because I was travelling. The first BFP I had it inside for around the same time. I have also seed cycled this month and used the CB fertility monitor x

Did you put preseed in a soft disc then inserted it inside for 10 - 15 mins? Or did you use the applicator to release preseed deep inside your vagina then waited for 15 mins? Then you took the soft disc out and did the deed. You put a new soft disc immediately after you had sex to make sure the sperm was all in the soft disc. You left it for 9 hours. Is this what you did?
This would be my first time to use preseed and soft disc/cup so I would like to do it correctly. Thank you for sharing your info!
About seed cycling, how did you do it?

So I used the applicator and placed the pre seed in about 10-15 min before. After he finished I placed the soft disc inside right up against my cervix. I left that in for 9 hours after and carried on with my day. Both BFP I used the soft disc following sex. I don’t know if it is just a coincidence. I have attached a photo of seed cycling. I put them on my breakfast or salads.

I really appreciate it! This has become a thing for me to look forward to doing if I don't get a BFP this cycle. More like an experiment. 😂 Thank you so much!

If you don't mind answering one more question ...😅 How does your BBT chart look like?
I have found this online - "The first peak may occur immediately after ovulation, while the second one may appear roughly 6 to 12 days after ovulation. Implantation of the embryo in the uterus may be responsible for the second BBT peak. This triphasic BBT curve could be an early pregnancy sign."

Is this true in your case?
