TTC ? Waiting for first cycle after miscarriage

Is anyone else out there in the wait between the end of a miscarriage and their first cycle ? Xx

I got a faint positive today at 10DPO, middle of the day.

I tested positive with my son at 10DPO but the pregnancy I lost wasn’t positive til 13DPO, I’m trying not to read anything into that…

Thank you @Lillybobs86 @cobalt123 got a decent line with FMU this morning, I just feel like I can't get my hopes up so it's a very odd feeling!

11dpo and bfn this morning 🙁

Sending you hugs! How are you doing now? Where are you at on your cycle? Xx

I'm back in the game.. unfortunately I have had another miscarriage. Thankfully this time it was not silent, so I knew straight away when I started bleeding and then EPU confirmed it via scans and blood test.

I believe I'm a few days away from ovulation. Not entirely sure yet if I want to try again this month....it seems I have fell pregnant pretty much straight away with both pregnancies but one ended at 13 weeks and this time at 5 weeks 3 days 💔

I hope everyone else is doing well? Sending much love to you all. Xx

Hi can I join in.
I had a MMC on 23rd April. would have been 11 weeks but baby stopped growing at 8. We didn't plan to TTC this cycle as my MMC was from falling pregnant on an IUD. I had a scan at 6 weeks (with a heartbeat) to try and find it and make sure it wasn't ectopic, they couldn't find the IUD.
I had an Xray on Wednesday to find the IUD and they can't find it so concluded it likely expelled itself at some point during a heavy period.
We were not planning on having children together (I have a 16 year old DD from a past relationship), but DP fell in absolute love with the baby at the 11 week scan and was broken when we had the infamous "I'm sorry there is no heartbeat".
So now we know there is no IUD, i've had my post MMC BFN, we can think about TTC.
I'm assuming my period is due in a week if I'm back to my normal 29 day cycle, however I've had, what feels like, mittleschmerz today. so maybe I'm ovulating late and should expect a 36 day cycle first. If that's the case we might wait until cycle 3 post MMC to TTC, or 4 depending when it shows up as I'm away with DD and not DP in July.

I'm terrified of TTC. I've never done it before and don't want it to become all consuming, added to post MMC fears, and me turning 38 in July and it all seems a bit unlikely

I’m so sorry to hear this. Look after yourself in whatever way works for you, whether that’s taking some time out or trying again. Lots of love 💕

Hi! Sorry to see you’re here. I remember you from the November thread/chat. Sending so much love 💕

@BrimfulofSachaI’m so sorry for your loss.

TTC doesn’t have to be all consuming, there are different ways to approach it. And I don’t think you should worry about your age, I had my first at 39 - he was a happy accident so I get the feeling of overwhelm around what to do now! I test for ovulation using OPKs from about 4 days after my period ends but don’t track the results, just DTD when there’s a strong line. It’s worked twice so far, praying this one sticks 🤞🏼

Oh @anniehall12im so sorry to hear this 😢
I had hoped those tests were just taking their time with progression when we last spoke. I’m so sorry to hear this :(

anniehall12 · Today 16:26

@ChasingRainbow5 thank you so much for your kind words I really do appreciate it xx

@BrimfulofSacha welcome, I am so sorry for your loss. I also had a MMC so I really do understand how hard that is. I also hope to conceive again one day soon 🥺

@Lillybobs86 thank you 🫂 yeah I did find it strange that it wasn't a blaring bfp even tho I missed my period so I was apprehensive. I'll never trust a faint line again!
Anywho, how is your pregnancy going? How are you feeling? Xx

Hi all,

Can I join?

Mine was a missed miscarriage through IVF. Very much wanted. Had a private scan at 10 weeks 5 days on 21/04 but heartbeat had stopped. Had a d and c 27/04 and they said it measured around 9 weeks so it must have stopped beating around then. I
