trying before af

[ladders]

Hello ladies I was wondering if anyone had started ttc after a misscarriage before first af arrives? Last Monday I started bleeding at 6weeks 5 days pregnant and when we had an early scan had found that everything had passed. I got a negative pregnancy test Tuesday morning and started using opks to see what my cycle was doing and this morning got a flashing smiley showing I will probably ovulate in a few days (I used to get about three or four days of flashing faces before solid smiley showing lh surge).
I'm in two minds about whether to start this month and wondered if anyone else had

Hi there! I am sorry for your loss. I had a MC on 3/21 (d&c) and STILL haven't gotten a visit from AF. Had follow up visit with my Dr. and she said all was good and things were back to normal. I am now on week 7 since my MC with NO sign of AF. Just for giggles earlier this week I used opk, and I too got 4 days of flashing smileys...then Wednesday got the solid one. Hubby and I bd'd a few times during that time (I know TMI) so we are not officially TRYING, but making an effort.... lol. So we'll see what happens this round, I figured that 7 weeks was more than enough time to wait. Dr. said one cycle for dating purposes, but we just didn't want to wait. Hopefully I don't get myself right into the same boat as with my little angel blueberry. Here's to hoping -- officially in the TWW now at 1 DPO. Good luck and baby dust to you and whatever you decide is right!!

I did but I wasn't lucky and AF turned up so I'm onto the next cycle. There's no risk to try before so good luck!

Hey Button -- sorry for your loss. Looks like you lost your LO right at the same time as mine. (3/21).... if you don't mind my asking when was the first AF that you got? Was it just recently?

It was exactly 4 weeks after the bleeding started, I didn't have a D&C though so not sure if it makes a difference.

Hi taquito and ladders. I've had chats with both of you on other parts of the forum. Sorry you two ended up here. I've had 3 losses and I've tried right away for all but one of them (loss at 12 weeks so a lot of hemorrhaging and figured it was a bad idea). But I never had luck on that first try.

But I've come across a lot of ladies who have and got their rainbows so FX for you girls .

 

[taquito0523]

Hi confuzion! yes we have talked before.... sorry for your losses as well I am hoping that we have our rainbow this time, but trying not to get my hopes up. It is hard ... I had forgotten about how much this TWW stinks. I just hope that it isn't something else wrong that it has been 7 weeks today that I had my d&c... Dr. said that AF should be back between 4-6 weeks and the day that I was going to call her was the day I got the blinking smiley on the ov test.... so now not sure if I just wait it out or call?

I've started already, couldn't wait!

Miscarried about 2 weeks ago, I think I was 5 weekish, not 100% cause I didn't know I was pregnant as I began bleeding on when AF was due, got bfp but sadly levels went down.

anyways got my positve OPK yesterday on cd23! I usually have a 28 day cycle, gonna try hold out testing and wait for AF to arrive which I hope doesn't.

Oh my dr told me to wait a few months but we're ready so honestly don't see the harm x

Thanks for the replies ladies, I think I am going to try this month because I feel more desperate than ever to have a child. My mc was natural no d and c or meds needed so I'm hoping my body doesn't take long to recover and I will ovulate.
Confuzion yes I remember talking to you and we was on the same thread when I got my bfp, first time I'd ever seen two lovely pink lines, never thought I'd end up here

Just checking in on you ladders -- how are you doing? Still no AF here in my world.... let us know!

 

[ladders]

No nothing yet, been getting ewcm but no other indication iv ovulated so not sure where I am at the moment.
You must be getting inpatient for af now I feel for you

 

[babyjan]

Oh I got AF on Saturday today is cd5, it came 2 weeks after miscarriage and I wasn't expecting it to come so early!

 

[taquito0523]

ugh.... still no AF here.... It will be 8 weeks since my d&c on Friday. Tried taking HPT and that came back BFN. I know that it is still way too early, but thought I might have some answer being that it has been 8 weeks, thought i may have O'd earlier than I thought. Oh well, back to waiting I go.

Hey ladies, mind if I join? I had a MMC and took misoprostol since my body wasn't getting rid of anything on its own I took that on 5/8 and have been having heavy bleeding on and off since then and clots some days and then not others. My body has always regulated itself very quickly after giving birth and after coming off of the implant. Me and my hubby are a very sexually active couple and we miss dtd not just for ttc, but because we like to also! lol (sorry tmi) I am trying not to obsess with getting pregnant before af, although it would be nice!

Hi ladies I`m in the same boat. Early MC at 5/6 weeks start of April was planning on waiting but did an + opk on the 4th May, makes me 11 dpo holding out till after weekend if no sign of AF. Been having cramps on and off still Ov'ed but trying not to think that is a good sign. Waiting to do a test is killing me!!!
I prob should of waited until after AF arrived but we felt ready just went for it.

Hi Kitty -- so sorry for your loss... I am totally in the same boat as you. I am only 6DPO (if my math is correct and I O'd when I thought)....but I haven't seen AF since my d&c which was 3/21...... I knew it was too early and tested this morning - BFN - which didn't surprise me, but we'll see what the next few days bring for BOTH of us.... hopefully this thread will have some BFP's in the next few weeks!!! Keep us posted!!!

Hi ladies mind if I join in?

First off I just want to say I am sorry for all of your losses.

I found out on May 1st that there was no HB. I was 9 weeks 5 days measuring 9 weeks 3 days they said. I was not cramping or bleeding so I had a d&c done on May 8th. After the procedure I did not have any cramps and bleeding had been very minimal until last night, cramping became verryyyy painful and I passed a lot of clots. It seems like that was the end as I have only had minor spotting today.

I too am hoping to conceive before AF. Fingers crossed.

I ordered a bunch of hpt and opk off amazon yesterday. I have never used an opk before and I am just learning about charting.

Really hoping to catch the first ovulation! & BFPs for all

 

[Kitty1979]

Hi ladies havent been on for a few days. I had ordered HPT some cheapies and 2 digi Clearblue. Both arrived today, I`m 12 dpo today but going to try to hold off until Sunday to test. I`m scared to test. Both BFP I have gotten in past were both at 11 dpo.............. Worried that my cycle will be longer because of early MC I`m usually very regular 30 days. I know I defo ov'ed on 4th May. No AF signs but no Pregnancy signs either! Hope you are all doing well, fingers crososed for you all.

I'm sorry for your loss! We found out around the same exact time about our losses. You had a d&c on May 8th and I chose misoprostol on that same day. I had very bad cramping, lots of clots, and heavy bleeding, which has now subsided to just spotting. I'm hoping to conscience before AF, but my pregnancy tests are still showing positive as I expected. I'm hoping by next week to get a bfn (the only time I'm ever hoping for that!) we should be buddies

Hi everyone!

I'm also trying to conceive before my AF after my MC. I feel like maybe I have set myself up for more stress and disappointment, but we've already been trying, so might as well keep on.

Right now, I'm sort of just wondering when I should expect my period. I've read pretty much every thread in this forum and it varies so wildly...that's sort of scary. My cycles have always been like clockwork...so if I was a day late, I knew what was up. This time...it could really be 6 weeks?! Or more?! How in the heck am I supposed to know when to test?
