TTC after m/c before AF

[ready4family]

Hey ladies how are you all doing? I'm CD13 and barely feeling some pressure today, seems like I might O late. I will take a OPK once I get home from work tonight, we'll see. Not like it matters, DH seems to never want to BD... We only have twice since my D&C on 12/21-I don't know what's going on but I DON'T like it

Hello, am new to this forum and will need advice on when to start BDing cos i had natural m/c on 21st of jan and bleeding has stopped since 23rd jan and quickly need adivce asap.................thanks alot

 

[Maxparedesmom]

Sorry for ur loss .. and welcome .. i started right away as soon as the bleeding stoped ..Start now lol .. Well that's just my advice .

 

[Girly922]

Sorry for your loss oyinkan, I also started TTC again straight after the bleeding stopped. I was having blood tests every few days to ensure my hcg levels went down as they should. After that I think I O'd about a week later. And then AF showed up on time 31days after m/c.

How much does this week suck?! I'm in that week between AF and waiting for O. It's boring. Although, I'm hoping I'm not far off O now so we can start BDing. Then I can get all obsessive again with my POAS addiction. Yes, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. Lol.

 

[Maxparedesmom]

Girly- what's POAS stand for ? Sorry I'm new to this lol and any kind of waiting
Sucks lol but I hope the days go by fast for u

 

[Girly922]

Pee on a stick. Lol. A few of us on here have a thread running about how many times we test each cycle, and what dpo we start at etc. I'm just being impatient.

 

[Maxparedesmom]

Lol that's nice pee on a stick

I hope I can join you lovely ladies. Currently undergoing a nmc Hcg at 5w5d was around 350. Dr. would like to test two days after I stop bleeding, so in the next week or two. Once my level is back down to zero she said that we can ttc again. I think it is just what I need to do. It will be wonderful to have that intamacy back with DH.

Seems like you are all getting positive opks which is amazing! I so wish they had digital sticks to tell you the hcg that we could do at home. More sticks to pee on I guess.

If you get all those signs then your body is trying to ovulate. But you won't ever know if the egg actually dropped until you get a basal body temperature shift. For example Last month I had one failed ovulation around cd 16-17 with positive opks, Ewcm, the works but my temp never went up. So my body tried it again and at cd 19-20 I received my next set of positive opks, but this time my temp actually shifted so I knew it was successful.

Think about ovulation as trying to start your car on a very cold day. Sometimes you have to turn it over a few times before you get the motor started.

thank you! that is really good advice! i wasn't sure because I had a positive OPK on the smiley ones but not on the actual digital monitor! So it is possible I may attempt to ovulate again in a few days?!!?

 

[needshelp]

I haven't been charting my temperature but if i don't get my bfp this month, i will defn start next! thanks again! my head is spinning trying to figure all this out

If you just had a positive digital, then it is very likely you will O in the next 24-48 hrs. You won't know if ovulation is over for the month until you get a increased temp or you have an ultrasound of your ovaries. I am not sure how the monitor works once it has detected an estrogen surge and an LH surge once that month already. But I do know if you get a smiley digital you have lovin that needs to happen.

My recommendation would be a minimum of every other day while your digitals, are giving the

If you are following SMEP (sperm meets egg plan) then when you see a pos opk, bed that night, plus the next two nights, take a day off and then dance one more time. That also gives you a poas break while you catch that egg.

 

[Maxparedesmom]

Rena - love the way u talk dance one more time lol made me laugh reading it

 

[oyinkan]

l start BDing asap and also start testing with OPK right away......

 

[needshelp]

thanks girls! I did yesterday afternoon and plan on it tnoight too! I woke up with dull cramps again but did a smiley this morning and it was negative....not sure what is going on! but hoping I didn't miss it!! (yesterday I tested around 2 p.m. and got a positive)

Hi ladies! Thanks for leading me here Renaendel! I just went for my follow up bloodwork to show levels back at zero yesterday so fingers crossed for good news. I can't imagine it wouldn't be, I had a very early mc at 5 weeks and my levels were only 38 last Friday before I started bleeding the next day. Bleeding has stopped and I'm waiting on opk's in the mail. I checked my cp today and it's so high I can't reach it??

Did you guys all use the first day of bleeding as cd1?

I'm so sorry for everyone's losses. I'm glad that we all understand each other though.

 

[needshelp]

welcome crazywaiter! So sorry for your loss! I had an early M/c so feel your pain! I started counting day one as the first day i started bleeding (12-12-12)...I just started using OPK"s this month to figure out where I am in my cycle and hoping we all get to be bump buddies soon!! great group of girlies in here! don't know what I would do without stalking to pass the time!

 

[Crazywaiter]

Thanks, needshelp. I know what you mean...coming on these forums has kept me sane!

I'm so hoping I ovulate early or late this month...I usually ovulate on day 15 and my husband will be traveling for work from days 14-18. I feel like I need the hope of a possible pregnancy to get me through. I'll be bummed if I miss the chance this month.

I really hope we get to see some bfp's from this thread ASAP!!
