TTC after miscarriage

[Lee444]

Hello, I’m not sure if I’ve posted this in the correct Topic? I was looking through the list for TTC but I couldn’t see anything. I had a MMC in June had to have an MVA at 14 weeks and have been TTC ever since, I’ve just had a negative ultra early PT and due yesterday /today so looking like I’m deffo out , however it’s still early days since my MMC but it feels very disheartening this was my 3rd cycle since so I will now move on to my 4th cycle. I tried temping this month as well as CB OPK, I don’t have an app but just tried to look for a rise and dip using my notes, would any of you mind taking a look and seeing if you could tell when I ovulated by looking at my notes? I temped between 6am/7am most days unless I woke in the night on the odd occasion. TIA xx

@Lee444 morning, sorry to hear about your mmc. I had the same on 10/8. 😢desperate to conceive again too. I’m not sure how well these trackers work, temp and ovulation, especially after miscarriage I’ve had a good look into them which I’m sure you have too . I keep testing high on the strips, low on the sticks and neg PT so I know I don’t have retained. I’m still awaiting my first AF since it started 3 weeks ago but we have been trying every day or every second day since bleeding stopped as I can’t work out if and when I will ovulate. I’d say if possible just try to dtd as much as possible throughout the month and not be too led by the testing. Hope you get BFP soon xx

@Hollycharlie im so sorry to hear about your loss also it’s very difficult, the first month after my MVA I was the same it would just go straight to solid smiley, I had retained tissue and had to be rescaned 3 times on the 3rd scan it had disappeared luckily and my hcg levels had dropped to 0. I actually think what you’re doing is the best thing last couple of months I have covered every possible day it’s been exhausting mentally and it hasn’t worked. I’m throwing away the temps the sticks and going to try stress free casual every other day and see how we go. I’m just curious to see if the temps match with the CB but this is what they do, make you question everything if your not using them you won’t have the stress but it’s hard when we are so desperate! X hope you get your BFP also X

Also should have mentioned that the first reading / OPK on the image was CD 7 meaning solid smiley was 6pm on CD 13

Hi @Lee444 I am only 2.5 weeks on from my MVA after a missed miscarriage so not looking to ttc until my next cycle but I would recommend using an app to track. I was using Natural cycles when I fell pregnant, I was actually trying to avoid pregnancy but had sex on a ‘red day’ and then the app told me the next morning that I had ovulated the previous day due to my temping. The app helps tell you your base temperatures so it’s easy to see the drop and rise around ovulation. From looking at your notes it seems like you had a rise the first Sunday but it’s hard to tell properly without seeing your base temps in each phase.

For example mine is 36.35 in follicular phase and 36.7 in luteal phase x

Hi @Bali200 im so sorry to hear you have also had a MMC they are so cruel
thank you for having a look and all the info, yes I think if I’m going to temp I need to get the app it’s hard to read otherwise but I do hear that it’s a very accurate method by many people. I hope you get your BFP in the coming months xx

Thank you @Lee444 I’m sorry for your loss also. I have also started using the free pre-mom app this week as well as NC as I have bought the pre-mom ovulation strips as I was curious to see if I ovulated following the MMC.

You can log temps with your own thermometer and they digitally read the strips for you and keep a track of these, although I don’t really know what I’m doing with the strips haha.

I don’t think I have ovulated so far which I think sometimes happens following a MC so I’m hoping for AF soon to start my cycle afresh.

I think I will just continue using NC and temping as that’s what worked for me last time. It was actually the only time we dtd that cycle due to being away with work!

I hope you get your BFP soon xx
