TTC after m/c before AF

[fashionqueen]

well, i got a bfn at 8dpo...I think i ovulated exactly two weeks after my m/c....bummer, but am hoping it is just too early for a BFP! if not, i will be trying again in february as i may take a month off!! hoping everyone is getting results tehy are wanting!

If you are pregnant the chances of getting a positive at 8dpo is virtually nil, wait until 12dpo at least! Dont look at any more negative tests than you need to!

Ttcmoon welcome. It's so nice to see you here!! I hope all your results come back good. It's good that they're referring you for the tests.

And yes, we CAN do it!!

Welcome west173. I'm sorry for your loss. It's so hard not knowing when AF is likely to show. If mine acts like a normal cycle I should expect AF on the 13th. But rather than get my hopes up just to find out my cycles are wonky I'm not going to test until the 20th is AF still hasn't turned up.

Good luck!!

Mumtoeva - thank you so much for sharing. That give me so much hope that it can happen. I think I may have OV'd 2 days ago and we made sure we were BDing a LOT!! Lol. Just got to hope that we caught that little eggy.

Well I'm now starting to TTC again. It's been almost 2 weeks since my first m/c, first pregnancy and we're starting to look forward. As it was a natural m/c I was given the go ahead to start trying once the bleeding stopped. I have no idea when I'm likely to ovulate so we've been BDing our butts off in the hope we'll catch this egg

Just wondered how many others are in the same position right now. And when do you hope to get your bfp by?

I'm right there with you! I had my first mc a couple of weeks ago and bled for 5 days. We started TTC right after. I've heard that women are more fertile and can ovulate immediately after a mc- so I'm hoping to be pregnant again this month and have it stick this time!

Good luck to you! Hope you get your BFP soon and that it sticks!!

 

[Girly922]

Welcome. And I'm so sorry for your loss.

I have also heard that fertility is increased after m/c. And I hope it's true for me too. I think I OV'd a couple of days ago and there was definitely increased EWCM. But that may have been because of my cold. I hope not.

Fingers crossed for you!! Looking forward to seeing a bfp from you!!

everyone tells me you are extremely fertile the two cycles after a m/c ! I know I had TONS more EWCM this cycle and made sure to bd on that day and the day after... and started right away after our miscarriage. I was sick and my LO was sick right after I think I ov'd (wasnt testing this month) so haven't had the oppoortunity to try since! not sure if i missed but already got a bfn 8dpo! I only tested because I "thought" i was getting symptoms but really was a result of not feeling well...
Good luck and hope we are all bump buddies soon! I wont' be testing again for at least another week and may wait to see if A/F shows if I can make it!

I think today is O day. I get a lot of pressure/cramping in my lower abdomen a few days leading up to it. I took an OPK yesterday and it was pretty dark. We BD last night. Today's OPK was pretty faint, so we'll see! This would be a bonus to get a BFP before my first AF.

good luck ready4family! let the 2ww begin!

Hi everyone. I'm currently at the tail end of a natural miscarriage of my first pregnancy. I suffered emotionally for two days but then after my scan to confirm there was nothing left in my uterus, I am feeling positive that we were able to get pregnant in the first place and that I have very healthy looking organs with lots of healthy eggs.
Can't wait to try again as after 7 months of trying, we were so excited to have conceived... Trying again is at least fun. Just need the spotting to stop now!! Have to get another blood test to confirm hcg is below 5, was at 24 on New Year's Eve.
I also apparently have an elevated thyroid which could have caused problems so will be off to a specialist to get it under control ASAP!
Fingers crossed for all of you, here's to looking forward after an unpleasant time for us all

 

[ready4family]

Welcome goingbananas! Sorry for your loss You have the right attitude for sure! Life goes on whether we want it to or not right?

 

[needshelp]

welcome goingbananas, and so sorry for you loss! it's never easy but your positivity inspires me! It took us quite a while to conceive our first (2 years) and I got pregnant with my second right away, which unfortunately resulted in our angel baby on Dec 12...trying to stay positive and hoping things are going to turn out better in the future! for us all!! best wishes!

I'm just happy to be able to join a forum with others who understand what I'm going through! I wish people spoke about these things more openly as I initially felt like there must have been something wrong that I did... I was speaking to someone yesterday who has 2 amazing boys at home. She mc between pregnancies but I never knew. She said that all of her friends with kids have mc once or twice. These are the stories I get my hope from. If its not meant to be, there is a reason but there are awesome babies to come

 

[fashionqueen]

Got my negative test yay!

So next thing will be watching cm & starting opks but I don't expect it to happen for a while as I generally have long cycles.

The amount of people I didn't know that have had miscarriages but I do know is crazy!
I wish people spoke about it more too.

Sorry for everyones losses ....
Hello everyone I lost my little angel boy max on 12-20-12 at 19 and 5 days .. Wanting to try again .. It's been 2 1/2 weeks .. Doctor told us she would like us to wait a few cycles but I feel like I can't wait .. So I guess we will have to just hope for the best ...

 

[GoingBananas]

So I have just had another blood test. Will hopefully find out that hcg is below 5... Weird but I'm kind of getting ovulation type pains at the moment... Wonder if things are ok in there??? Either way, I've prepared DH for 2 weeks of dedicated BDing... He is more than happy to oblige
Fingers crossed!!!

Needs help - my Ob said that my period would take 4-6 weeks to return... Hope that helps??

 

[GoingBananas]

Maxparedesmom - I was told to wait too but with it taking us 7 months to get pg the first time, I am starting now... I MC at 6 weeks though so much sooner than your 19 weeks you poor thing. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss xo

I was told 4-6 weeks if you had regular periods before the miscarriage.

But if you know for sure that you've ovulated then you should be getting AF in 3 days if you're 11dpo.

How do u tract those numbers and what do they stand for? I'm new to this kind of thing

Dpo is days post ovulation. So if you know when you ovulate - by checking cervical mucus, taking your temperature, using ovulation kits etc then the day after you've ovulated is 1dpo, day after that is 2dpo and then generally 14dpo is when you will get your period- but that's an average. For most women their luteal phase (bit between ovulation & period) is 10-16 days, and will be pretty constant even if you have irregular periods. And that's why it's called the 2ww -two weeks to wait- because there is in general 2 weeks to wait after ovulation to find out if you're pregnant!

What makes your period irregular is if the time between finishing your period (AF) and ovulating changes all the time.

I have irregular cycles but I track ovulation & then I know I should get AF 13-14 days later. So if my period hasn't arrived by 14dpo I will take a test. Most tests are accurate by about 12dpo.
