Thanks guys, sorry for everyone's losses.

Yes, I had what they call an MVA. A less invasive procedure to the DnC. They still put you out but its less trauma to the uterine lining.

FX for everyone!

 

[pipsbabybean]

It's a horrid experience , I was booked for a dnc but when they scanned me I'd passed nearly all and hadn't realised

 

[tag74]

It really is. I cried right before each...woke up the last time with a tube down my throat. It's just awful.

:wave: hi ladies. Sorry for call your losses.

I had a D&c last Wednesday at 9.5 weeks. bleeding stopped today so ready to think about TTC! Have a history of infertility but bfp happened quite easily last time so trying to stay positive.

When do I need to start using opks? I usually o on day 16 but no idea after me.

 

[tag74]

Hi Mrs. Max, sorry for your loss. I'm guessing they will be taking your betas until your HCG goes down to 0. In which case, a day or so after that, I would begin taking OPKs. If they aren't following it to zero (they followed mine to 75), I'd take pregnancy tests to negative and then start OPKs a day or two after the HPTs are 0. I would also start temping now too if you aren't already. To me that temps are more reliable after a MC. Best of luck!

 

[pipsbabybean]

I see ur in the usa tag, here in the uk they don't do betas, well not usually any ways, I just used ics until they were negative again,
Sorry mrsmax, I used opk from early on, noticed that the hcg in my system was making them look positive, when the hcg faded out so did the opk and then bk in again at cd 27.
I usually ov on cd 19
I did ov cd 19 this cycle bu pt only if u don't count the mc bleeding,,,

 

[mrsmax]

Thanks both. I always think it strange how betras just aren't a done thing in the UK but a really big deal in thge US.

I think I will get some cheasp ones for weekend and use moiré expensive ones closer to the 16 day mark...wouldnt it be nice to not be going through this!??

 

[pipsbabybean]

I no I don't get the betas thing either, I begged my doctor to do mine on the 9 days I waited for a rescan
I no it's only been a month for me but it's certainly easier today ..

Hi Ladies, 8dpo, do you see a positive line or is it my imagination?

 

[tag74]

I totally see something! I'm in the same boat...I have something faint but I'm scared its my imagination.

I think you and I have the same cycle! My miscarriage was Sept. 17 also.

 

[Sophiejash]

Tag I'm so glad you see something, I've done other tests before TTC again to make sure my hCG was low and I've definitely had negative tests so this makes me think it's definitely a new baba and not anything left over from my previous pregnancy. At the same time though I'm totally scared that it isn't a new baba

 

[tag74]

I am doing the same thing to myself. Yesterday I had a super faint and today the same thing. I'm making myself paranoid that it's old hormones but I also had a negative.

When are you going to test again?

FX!!!!

 

[Sophiejash]

I'm not sure, I have the one step tests that I may continue to do everyday (as I have loads of them), that one today also had a faint line but I couldn't upload it as file was too big apparently. But I only have one of the superdrug ones left, so maybe Tuesday/Wednesday. How about you?

 

[tag74]

Totally get it. I'll probably continue to test with my cheapies and then on Monday with my FRER.

So frustrating right?

 

[Sophiejash]

It is very frustrating. Are you getting any symptoms? X

 

[tag74]

I was the other day, pregnancy cramps like my previous pregnancies. That's the only reason I tested. You?

 

[Sophiejash]

I've had cramps, felt a little neasious at times, noticed my boobs are a little sensitive when my daughter jumps on me ha ha. I've a had a few things that come and go. I had crazy dreams last night which was something I had with both previous pregnacys but who knows. Fingers crossed for us both xx

 

[tag74]

Ohhhhh i had pretty crazy dreams last night too!
