confused over spotting and ewcm

[becky77]

well i had my erpc 17 days ago after a failed natural m/c, i had very little bleeding or cramping and it stopped after 5 days ,but then about a week ago i started to have what i can only describe (sorry tmi ) as brown ewcm, not a lot but the same amount as normal ewcm, it stopped about 2 days ago and i now have normal ewcm so my 2 questions are

could i be ovulating this soon?
and as it says you have to have 20 days of no bleeding before you get a real af does this brown ewcm count as bleeding or do i take the 20 days from when the bleeding stopped?

sorry if thats confusing, but any help would be much appreciated as i hate not being in control of whats going on with my body.

thanks

I've done soooo much reading up on miscarriage. What I do know is that you can be fertile as soon as 2 weeks after an ERPC so it could be that you are ovulating. Good luck xxx

oh i hope so ,its hard not to get your hopes up, but i am tring to remain calm.
maybe not knowing when to expect af is a good thing might stop me turning into a maniac when af is due lol.

hope you have some good luck soon too.

That's exactly how I feel. I think my period will come back after 4 weeks but obviously I don't know that. And I now think that if I do get pregnant before I have AF, then I will be able to put a late period down to the miscarriage rather than testing every single day. I found out I was pregnant at 3.5 weeks, which is about 1.5 weeks before I actually conceived. This made my pregnancy feel like it went on forever. I want to find out I'm pregnant at something like 8 weeks this time. That would mean I would have 8 weeks without worrying myself sick about another pregnancy. Roll on our next BFPs (although I'm still waiting for my BFN!!) xxx

Hi girls.
I has my ERPC nearly 3 weeks ago. I only bled for about 5-6 days. I noticed the usual discharge coming about a week ago, which made me think things were working as they should. I am busting to try again. However, I really want to feel well, so am going to take docs advice and wait for next cycle. Who knows I guess it might take ages to conceive again. I found out I was pregnant at about 4-5 weeks. I had my scan (where I found out I had a missed miscarriage) at 8 weeks. But that 3 weeks was like an eternity. Next time however, I am so paranoid that I was to blame, that I am going to refrain from drinking and eating the dodgy foods even when we're trying. Am I going crazy?

no hun your not crazy thats how i feel, but you were not to blame i did all those things and still had a missed m/c.
next time it would be nice to go to sleep and wake up 14 weeks pg, cos i know i wont enjoy it before cos of the worry of the same happening, which is sad, cos its meant to be such a happy time.
well i am not going to try , but not not try until i get my af if that makes sense.
