Looking for TTC buddies

Thanks for helping me stay realistic. I think I was suppressing my grief with these crazy thoughts about getting pregnant again right away, but I'm sure that only actually happens to a slim minority of women. The crappy thing is, I don't think I'd feel so rushed to get pregnant again if it weren't for the fact that my SIL is pregnant (she's due 2 weeks after I was) and I know that every time I see her I'm going to think about how we were supposed to be pregnant together. :(
 
CD10 for me today, OPK was negative but I had some EWCM so I went ahead and dtd
 
Spiffy I no how frustrating it is to still see a positive test! It will turn negative but just might take a few weeks. I think it took me 3 weeks to go negative but everyone is different. Time does pass and you will be pregnant again. Xxx

Oh I'm so sore at the moment!! I'm normally quite tender around ovulation but I think it's a bit more sore this time!! Anyone else have sorer ovulation pains after mc?
 
Ricschick - yes!!! Both pp and post mc. My uterus felt sore during first o's. Even the skin next to the vagina opening felt tender. I don't get pinching ovary pains usually, but I can tell by how tender my uterus feels. When I pee it feels like the support for my uterus is gone and it hurts slightly. The first pp o was aching for a week before o and wondered how anyone can miss their first o. But obviously not everyone is the same.
 
Spiffy - I hear you! Just yesterday I saw a pregnancy announcement and she is due two weeks before I would have been. It made me sad all over again. I still get this "did this really happen"? feeling. Did I not see a heartbeat? Where did things go wrong? Unfortunately only time makes things easier as passed time means closer to trying again.
 
Spiffy, I felt exactly the same way. My OB said no sex for 4 weeks, but 2 weeks past D&C we started trying again because I so desperately wanted to be pregnant again. I also have a friend who is due about 3 days before I would have been. We only realized (told each other) we were both pregnant about a week before my miscarriage was discovered. It was so exciting to have someone to talk to and compare symptoms since we were almost exactly in sync. Afterwards it was so painful because everytime I looked at her or she hit a milestone I was reminded of where I should be. I thought if I got pregnant immediately I would feel better. I even fantasized about getting pregnant immediately then baby coming a few weeks early so that we would still be very close with our pregnancies.

At the end of the day, my body needed those 5 weeks to heal and the next cycle I did get pregnant again. Looking back, it seems like it happened quickly, but at the time those 5 weeks felt like an eternity.
 
Hi! I'm brand new to the site, I've suffered two miscarriages and after 6 months I'm ready to start trying again! I just would like some friends to talk to and symptom spot and just talk! Wanna be friends? :) shoot me a message!

Hi, I had 1 miscarriage and I'm on my 7th months but I have been TTC ever since. This month I took clomid and tomorrow is my expected menstrual. so I have fingers crossed
 
Good luck babycabrera! Let us know how it goes.
 
Good luck, babycabrera!

Thanks ladies, for reminding me that I'm not crazy. I don't think DH really understands what's going on inside my head. He feels sad about the miscarriage because it hurt me, but he has a hard time grieving the loss of a baby he never met, or felt kicking, or saw on an ultrasound.
 
Baby - I'm sorry for your loss! Fx collided is just what you needed to conceive.
 
So here are my most recent opks! Looks like an attempt to O to me. If CD19 was just a bit darker I'd call it positive, but it just isn't quite there. Today's I had a super long 4h hold and only one glass of water and the line is super faint. If my temp is up tomorrow I guess I Oed, but didn't have a strong oh surge. If it is not up I think my body gave it a shot, but essentially failed to O. We'll see. Oh of course DS woke up last night and was up from 4-6am so I never temped. Go figure it's when I really would have like to see what it was.

Mom15 I think my body did that this month I had nearly positive for about 10days then bam a really strong positive.
I'm just worried now if we've done enough, I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday as I was so sore yesterday morning and felt so sick! We dtd Tuesday and Wednesday night and I ovulated Thursday. I hope we've caught it! I just really want to be pregnant!
 
Mom15 - I used the advanced OPKs and had several days of "high" not peak before getting my actual positive. I always looked at the strip and all the "highs" looked pretty much like yours do. So it can still happen. Or your body may still be a little off kilter. Darn post-mc bodies.

Ricschick - I think you're good. If you dtd Wednesday night then those spermies would have just been sitting there waiting to catch that egg!
 
Hey everyone! I'm driving myself nuts researching and attempting to start threads that noone wants to jump in on. Go figure. Idk if I'm even doing this right, but whatever.
My name is Angel and I O'd on July 3rd. I BD on the 29th 1st 2nd and 3rd. ( sometimes twice 😂😂) On ovulation day, I had cramps galore on my right side and around to my back same side.
1dpo-2dpo. Nothing unusual
3Dpo-4dpo. Watery Cm constantly feeling wet and higher sex drive. Also on 4 dpo I had a horribly intense pain around my lower abdomen and around my lower back. For about 5 mins. After that it was just like a mild burning in belly sorta like AF.
I'm 5DPO today.. Nothing unusual yet, but its only 10am here will update later. Hoping for a BFP soon!
 
Welcome aspynsmommy!
Sounds like all good things!! That's one of my first signs is feeling wet!! Good luck. X
 
Aspynsmommy that all sounds good to me. You are still early so all you can do now is try to sit back and wait (easier said than done). You might want to check out the Two Week Wait section. You'll find lots of ladies right where you are.

Also, I see you only have 2 posts. Don't get discouraged about starting threads just yet. Just start chatting more and you'll find lots of support here. You'll even find groups specific to you. in this thread we have all had losses and are trying again. I'm not sure if that describes you or not, but we are happy to share what wisdom we have :)
 
So I think my body is attempting to ovulate, but I'm pretty sure it will fail. My cervix is high, open, and wet, and I've been tender near my left ovary. If it were a normal cycle, I'd say I was about two days out from ovulating. I'm BDing just in case, but it's impossible to O with hcg still in your system, right?
 
Welcome to the new people, I'm sorry you find yourselves here.

Spiffynoodles my test didn't go negative until 4 weeks after, but a scan at 4 weeks showed I had in fact ovulated. Judging by ewcm it was approximately 14 days after surgery so it is possible.

Glad you've ovulated Ricschick!

Mom15 the result from my first urine sample for the molar pregnancy follow up is also 6. My blood result will be available Monday afternoon.

I've been reading everyones posts but haven't felt like posting. I've found the last 2 weeks incredibly difficult to cope with the hospital care has once again been awful and I have made the first steps towards making a complaint. When all the molar pregnancy information arrived in the post I pretty much lost the plot. I rang my GP surgery to find out how to get the blood part done and the receptionist was sufficiently concerned about my wellbeing that a GP called me 5 minutes later. I ended up on the phone with the GP for 30 minutes before being given an emergency appointment the following day. I've now been referred for counselling as the GP is concerned about the potential for me developing post traumatic stress disorder. She is also writing to the consultant who discharged me in May to ask them to meet with me to answer my questions regarding how it took so long to get the results and why I was given the okay when they were waiting for the molar test results.

I've now got more stats which would seem to indicate that molar pregnancy is actually pretty rare which may be why the hospital dismissed it without waiting for results. The clinic says for every 1000 live births registered there are only 2 molar pregnancies, and 40% of the tissue sent to them for verification of molar pregnancy is actually recategorised as something else.

The official line from Charing Cross is that I need to complete follow up before trying again. Follow up for me will complete in 4 weeks as long as my bloods are clear on Monday (and there's no reason to believe they won't be). After not being able to get a straight answer from the hospital or GP, I did have a long phone call with one of the specialists on Wednesday though and they have said that as we know my levels were negative at 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 11 weeks the risk to me this month is the same as it will be next month, which is about 1% or not clinically significant. They said I had the information to make an informed decision. So as long as my blood is fine on Monday we will be trying this month. It's really important to me to try this month as It's the last month which will allow me to be past 12 weeks before my due date in October. If nature doesn't happen then I'll have to deal with it, bit not being able to try this month was rather devastating for me, especially after being told in May we were okay to try again. I'm now CD 6 so hopefully the timing is lining up nicely.
 
Spiffy - I had all the O symptoms including super positive opks about 15-12 dpmc, the only thing I never had was a proper temp rise. I got af on cd 29. So even with a temprise my lp would have been way too short. At that point my hCG was still around 60. My friend who had an earlier loss (6w) got her temp rise, but only had an 8 day lp so not long enough either. I'd say if you feel ready, bd just in case but just don't get your hopes up too high. It's a great sign though that your body is trying to O.

Afm, today's opk is about as dark as cd19, so I have not given up hope that I will still O. Cd21 and counting.
