Anyone TTC after a recent early loss and wanting support? (Aug 26)

Hi, I thought I’d start a separate thread for anyone who is TTC after a recent early loss, so we can support each other through what can be a really difficult time. 💕

I’m 39 and TTC for my first. I conceived after around four cycles, but sadly had a missed miscarriage mid-July at around 9 weeks, (development had stopped at 6).

I stopped bleeding last Sunday and have started noticing some cervical mucus returning over the past few days, so I’m hoping my body is beginning to get back into its normal rhythm.

I’m still testing positive on pregnancy tests, so can’t use LH strips to track ovulation yet, so for now, my plan is to get back to some exercise, eating well and have sex every 2-3 days. I’m feeling positive and hopeful but also trying to take my mind off the waiting!

If anyone else is going through something similar and would like to share the journey and support each other x

Hi all. I am definitely back/will be back to this thread unfortunately. Confirmed MMC today and D&C will hopefully happen next week. I knew it was very likely, but am gutted. It seems that I can get pregnant pretty much every cycle, but cannot get them to stick -- suppose it could be a horrible run of bad luck, but I am worried there is something wrong with me given it's happened twice in a row. The hospital said they won't check the tissue until it's happened another 2 times (!).

Not sure if this is this is the place to ask, but do you think the surgical option is better? I just want to start again ASAP without having to see the evidence, and the risks don't seem so bad, but not sure if it makes any difference in terms of ovulation. I also absolutely hate having smears done so am hoping the pain relief offered is a bit better than it is during those.

Oh I am so sorry to read this 💔

I deliberated for ages over the options, opted for surgical management in the end. It was
definitely the right call for me. Over very quickly and from what I recall it was pretty much pain free, I may have taken some paracetamol but nothing stronger needed. Sending you lots of love and strength ❤️
