Anyone else now trying again STRAIGHT after a mc? NTNP?

I would say about 6/7 it's very much there - no squinting needed to see it ha. But it's not as dark as the control line. My temp has dropped a little today too so if it goes down again tomorrow then I'm prob out for sure and will be sat waiting for arrival of the witch x
 
Don't think you're out yet Louby, that's a very good sign. The opk could be picking up the hcg. My first real clue was a CB fertility monitor stick which showed a double line (it was picking up the hcg on its lh radar). Have you got any of those? I stalked your chart and your temp only dropped by less than a tenth and that's not significant. Mine dropped by 6 tenths last month when I got my af. Don't want to give you false hope but I really think you should try another 10miu hpt with undiluted wee, leave for 20 minutes then look at it really carefully squinting and tilting in the daylight. You only need a very very faint line for it to be positive. Let me know!! x x :dust:
 
No I haven't got any if those just got the one step. I might do another one late tonight with undiluted urine and see what happens. So my temps aren't looking too bad then - ive just realised I'm shockingly rubbish at all this I apologise :haha: I will keep you posted - thanks Fili :)
Right off to Chester for some Xmas treats. Will post tonight with an update xx
 
Thanks Ladies. Has anyone tried acupuncture? I was thinking of giving that a go.

Also just wanted you ladies advice. Normally we go skiing mid January for a week and obviously was hoping I wouldn't be able to go. Now if AF turns up today/tomorrow I reckon my fertile time will be over Christmas, so if I got my BFP over Christmas I would be 6 weeks by the time we went skiing. We normally book in December (we go with my Dad and stepmum). Actually now I am typing this I am not sure what advice I am asking for. Do we not try in December at all, do we try and risk me being pg when skiinG?

Louby - I agree with fili your chart still looks really good. My temps have been dropping since 6dpo and yours is only one small drop. My opks were so white, not even a hint of a second line so hang in there!!
 
Pink - sorry you're feeling down. I was a bit clingier to DH for a while after the mc too. I just had to tell him when I needed him to stay in but he couldn't do it everytime.

As for the skiing trip, book it. Don't put your life on hold for TTC. If you are pregnant then I'm sure you can shop or find something less dangerous to do. Or maybe your travel insurance will cover it.

Louby - implantation might not happen until 12 DPO and then it takes at least 2 days for HCG levels to be detectable in urine. You're not out yet! Lots of women have low levels of LH all month long. It's totally normal. I have it too.
 
Thanks ickle - your chart is looking good. Can I ask what the 5 means on your stats box for todays date?
 
Pink i think you should go, the relaxation will be good for you and as Ickle says you can always do less strenuous things like sip hot chocolate and shop! Be sure to take all ttc stuff with you though!
 
Oh dear. Just thought I had a tiny spot of blood in my CM until I realised it was a bit of fluff from my fleecy red jammies!
 
Hello Ladies! :hugs:

Tara take it from one who knows that a sore tooth can turn into a tooth that hurts so much it makes childbirth feellike a scuffed knee- Go to the dentist asap! What if it decides to go nuclear on christmas day when there is no help to be had exept an emegency room full of christmas cheer related injuries!

Sarah, I'll tell you this- the month my youngest was conceived we were just in a casual relationship, and didn;t see each other more than a couple times a week. He was conceived from just one encounter, and my libido was through the roof like nothing else. Its a definite O sign! But after a mc it might also be a sign of your body trying to O and not quite making it. Either way I'd say take advantage of the horniness and have some fun!

Ickle that cake is amazing! :thumbup:

Don't just tell Tara off about temps tell me off too...I fell asleep on the sofa last night, and proved unwakable to OH, crawled to bed at about 6 am, thinking gah thats my temps buggered. Woke again at mid day, temped then!

Hi Hope, a birthday BFP is nice- I had one. I would like a christmas BFP this time! Or any time....Think of it this way- if AF arrives on your birthday, you know you can get tipsy, and if its a BFP, you wont need or want to get tipsy, you'l be drunk on happiness!

Fili, the signs are darn good!! The steroids taking the sickness is a nice cheeky bonus indeed, when is your first scan? I had cramps in early pg with the MMC, no cramps at all with youngest, and with the first, lots because I was small and slim and had tight abdominal muscles so the early weeks of that pregnancy hurt a fair bit! You are going to analyse everything you feel, its only normal after losses. You might get some crampy twinges as your uterus stretches more and things start to move to make room for it.

Louby maybe just for some comparison you can go look at the chart gallery on FF and look for cycles that are like yours and see how they ended up.

:hugs:Bless you Pink your not feeling too good are you. I suggest a group forum hug! I know what you mean about OH's and not wanting them out ad about after what happened. I wouldn;t let mine leave my side, but I gave in after a couple weeks, he has to work and he is a sound guy, does gigs so its always late work. Its ok and normal to feel sad, don;t apologise for yourself we all understand. :flower: I till won't go out with him to any pubs or friends houses- can;t imagine cheering any one up when they ask what I have been up to and I say getting over a loss and watching my finances crumble! :haha: I'm just not for socialising yet and thats that!

As for me, I am back to three POAS a day, and being extra nice to OH because I want alot of BD! I'm still fighting off that half cold. Its lasting ages but is still mild, with a cough starting to creep in. My first hot drink of the day was a lemsip (YUK) but I must get these things over with befor I O, after O, nothing at all dubious, or alcoholic, or too fatty is getting into my system.
 
Thanks loz! :happydance: no scan until after christmas! Hope your cold gets better loz :hugs: and a group forum :hugs: for pink
 
Ooooh! After christmas is not very far away! I suppose theres no point having a scan before 6 weeks anyway, can cause way more stress than good.
 
Yeah and I just want to enjoy xmas in blissful ignorance as there's nothing I could do now anyway. x x
 
This pregnancy is already different from the rest Fili, you can be blissfully pregnant at christmas, not blissfully ignorant. You are bound to worry, but you can enjoy it too!
 
Thanks loz, i'll try and I am feeling hopeful! I hope you get all your own way this month :sex: and you get your bfp soon too. i'm sure you will, we do have that 3 month window for being more fertile don't we. All the docs have told me that, not sure why though :wacko:
 
I have seen that info too, been trying to figure out what exactly makes us more fertile after a loss. I'm actually stumped as to how it can make us more fertile. Do they mean we might release more than one eggy? Or that maybe the bloodflow to the general area is increased after a loss, maybe a birth/MC is like a reset button for the cycle? Meaning Ladies with a cycle gone a bit wonky might have improvement after? I don;t know what happens to egg production during pregnancy, maybe after a MC there are more follicles reaching mature therefore greater chance of a good egg being released less chance of it being poorly? Bafflement! Maybe its increased nutrition from vits and things after a woman has a loss its usual for them to go on a health kick. I must find out the reason for so many doctors saying we are more fertile after a loss. Maybe they just say it because it makes us feel better- and less likely to stress and therefore more likely to conceive? I need to research this!! :comp:
 
Hello ladies i had a MMC 10/5/11 and just now got AF and that is because after 2 mths not getting this my ob/gyn gave me provera to jump start. It took 4 days after my last pill to start but i'm glad AF is finally here and i can start TTC. There is one question lingering around in my head and it's will i ovulate this mth even though i took a pill to start AF? I guess i'l have to keep my fx'd.

Sorry for everyone's loss prayers and baby dust to you all ;)



MMC 10/5/11
 
Just found this quote on a forum.

'A woman is arguably more fertile in the months immediately following a miscarriage because of the elevated levels of progesterone in her system. Progesterone is a hormone that supports pregnancy and proper implantation of a fetus in a woman's uterus. When a woman becomes pregnant, the progesterone level in her blood rises. After she miscarries, it takes awhile for the level of progesterone in her system to return to normal. Therefore, it has been argued that due to the elevated levels of progesterone in a woman's system following a miscarriage, a woman experiences increased fertility in the first few months after a miscarriage.

Some doctors have acknowledged that a woman experiences a brief period increased fertility due to an elevated progesterone level following a miscarriage. Experts report that a woman's fertility level should return to normal within four to six weeks after the miscarriage, when ovulation occurs and a woman's menstrual cycle returns to normal.'


Its a start! The research continues. The above only explains increased fertility in the first month after the loss...now to find an explanation for the 3 months that has been mentioned by alot of docs. :comp:
 
Hi Jewel :hugs: So sorry for your loss, mine was a MMC (7 weeks no HB discovered at 12 week scan) too. You are in the right place here, there is so much support. :flower:

I only just spotted your message because I was busy typing a rant at the time (I'm a google addict) then I went off googling again.

As for your ovulation after an induced AF, I can;t say for sure. I expect it will depend on what caused your AF to need to be induced. I expect that the pills inducing it are like a cycle jump starter, so if I were you I would expect O to occur normally. Do you use OPK's? We are all addicted to them here!
