TTC after miscarriage before AF

[AnnieMac2]

Hello. Have been reading this thread and wondering if I can join in. I love seeing the happy news when people get pregnant again. I feel for everyone and it also gives me a lot of hope.

Had a d&c 2/22/ on 1st pregnancy. It was only 6 wks, but took it hard. Got 1st period 2 wks ago. Maybe even o'd prior to period, unless I botched test. Dr. said wait for 2 periods, but we had sex anyway (now nervous/not even sure I want a BFP this time. But on the flip side, it would be good bc I'm worried about starting late-ish at 35 yrs. old). I've been dry heaving at normal smells today. Just learned I have a clotting disorder, but at least I know I can get pregnant.

So I'm timed up with you guys. Sorry that was long. Keeping fx for you all!

Welcome! I am so so sorry for your loss we are here for you! I understand being concerned about getting pregnant again. I just keep telling myself not every pregnancy is the same and because one didn't work out doesn't mean they all won't the doctors say to wait so they can date the pregnancy better and for your own emotional health.. Which I think is individual. If you feel you need more time, then take it.. Losses are so hard and grieving is different for everyone. I wish you the best on your journey. I hope to see you get your rainbow baby soon

And if you guys ever want a laugh at my expense, I've turned into a crunchy health nut as a result. I just had bulletproof decaf and a smoothie that probably breaks down to $50/cup with spirulina, royal jelly, hemp, chia and flax seeds Oh, and who can forget herbs from the acupuncturist and butter from grassfed cows in Ireland! Eye roll.

Thank you, Happynewmom! You are so sweet. Will be sending you good thoughts!

Wow that does sound incredibly healthy! Which is a good thing, right? did it taste good though? lol



So afm today - basically just feel horrible but kinda starting to think it's allergies. Never had a problem with it before but we did just move States and the kids have been sneezing and stuff too so probably what's going on. IF I did ovulate on the 31st I'm only 10dpo I guess so makes sense that I probably had line eye before and today Haha but can maybe expect af in a week if that's true. Although af cramps are back so my body may be out of wack and it will start sooner. Who knows. Hope everyone is doing well today!!

 

[AnnieMac2]

Happynewmom - Nope! Tastes disgusting. Lol.

I'm interested to hear if you have a "normal" cycle. Is it your first since the mc? I'm trailing you by about a week and very curious if it will be on time or not. Before I went through it, it never occurred to me that there was so much confusion surrounding mc's. As if they're not hard enough. I sort of figured it was a done and now let's move on thing. Not so much

Sorry for flooding with my testing craziness! It's driving me nuts! Frer is morning same with middle, bottom is this afternoons... Seems a tad darker then the am... Frer I don't see anything but my friend thought she saw a squinter

 

[Eclaire]

The shadow in that pic makes it hard to see clearly. I think I see something on the frer. Do you have any other pics you could add?

 

[happynewmom1]

I see them on the cheapies but I can't tell on the frer. I almost think I see something faint.

Anne, welllll I haven't had af yet since the mc but I don't think it's late yet. I started bleeding for the mc on March 18th and if I o'd on the 31st, I am expecting af next week I think. I thought I o'd on March 31st but now today my cervix is slightly open and I'm getting a ton of cm although not the ewcm I got on the 31st so I'm very confused. I guess time will tell... I do hope af gets here close to on time so if I don't get a super fast bfp then I have a fresh cycle to work with quickly. The waiting for it stinks. :/

Tried to move so less shadow

It's so hard to tell.. Could be my phone. I swear I see something super faint on all of them. Fx they are there and are darker tomorrow!

 

[SammyBat]

I agree - I feel like I see something faint on all of them. Fx for you!

 

[firsttimer123]

Not any darker this am what is going on

I'm sorry. That's so confusing go some hcg does take longer to go up but I dunno... Can you go in for a blood test or anything?

 

[firsttimer123]

Went for a blood test this am find out Monday

 

[oox_tasha_xoo]

Fingers crossed for your blood test results Hun.
Do I class the first day of my bleeding as CD1 is that what everyone else has done?
X

I searched Google on this and read different things. I ended up classing the first day of bleeding as Cd19 or me but have read others say to class the first day not bleeding as cd1. I don't know how the end of this will go... Coming up to when af should start by that but will see what happens.

 

[happynewmom1]

So I'm seriously confused and need af or a bfp to keep some sanity! Constant cramping all day today, lots of cm but cervix still slightly open today so I don't see that as being a good sign at all. Need af so I can just start fresh now I think.

 

[firsttimer123]

Cd1 will happen once your hcg is close enough to 0... Best thing is to use cheapie tests, then opks after u get your bfn

Hmm that makes sense. Maybe I should look at my notes and see if it makes any sense for this cycle too.
