TTC after miscarriage before AF

[Eclaire]

Teeny sorry to hear you had to join us over here. I hope you have a quick recovery and can get back on the ttc train.

Firsttimer sorry about af. Best of luck for a regular cycle and bfp.

Babylove hope your hpt is negative tomorrow so you can get to the bd.

Happynewmom what is going on with you?

Tasha are you getting some good bd in? Good luck.

It's good to see you here, Eclaire! How have you been feeling?? Not much with me. Just waiting for af.. I give up on this cycle. We did a bunch of bding and will still for fun but over it. Have had af cramps for almost a week with no af, no signs of ovulation and negative tests so just over it and waiting now.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Just a quick question please ladies. Does hCG have to be at zero before ovulation may occur if at all post miscarriage?
It's been 2 weeks since my D&C, my HPT are getting lighter so I'm hoping they will become a BFN over the coming week. I am so eager to TTC again quickly, but obviously our bodies become screwy (like mine wasn't before! Lol) and I wondered if any of you have any experience with ovulation after the procedure. Xx

 

[Eclaire]

Teeny I didn't have a d&c so I can't tell you how long it takes to get back to normal. I have heard that your hcg does not need to be less than 5 to ovulate, but I don't know if that is true. I do know that the speed at which it leaves your body is different for everyone.

I am doing pretty good. Had nausea start this morning where the smell of ham had me dry heaving. Went in for my scan today and everything looks good. I saw a heartbeat (128bpm) and measuring at 6+5. My ob thinks this one might stick and my miscarriage rate is down to 20%.

I will tell you that for this pregnancy has been a bit easier than the last since I waited until a few days after af was expected to test. Having less time to fret about another possible loss has been a blessing. I am now further along than I have been at either of my losses and that is a comforting feeling. I wish you all the best and hope for quick sticky beans.

Hi, Hope it's ok to join in this chat, my first time in a forum!

- I had a mmc a couple of years ago then we didn't try again till this year
- Had mc at 5 weeks in March (4.5 weeks ago)
- Trying to be hopeful because both times I fell pregnant within 4 weeks of trying...but becoming obsessive watching for symptoms!!!

I always research like mad on google & read hundreds of forums, but so glad to have found one that's so up to date with women experiencing similar situations...although not great situations for us to be in!

I have sore boobs & cramps for about 5 days but BFN this morning
When will the waiting game be over? Am I testing too soon (or wishing that I am ) Any advice, greatly appreciated, thank you

From what I understand u don't ovulatr until hcg is below 5, you don't ovulatr when you are pregnant!

I'm not sure. I had a mc at 6 weeks in March and am getting all bfn, been having af cramps for almost a week but cervix is closed. I don't think I'm pregnant but will wait a week and test if af hasn't arrived. So maybe you could try that too? I'm not sure when to expect af.. I guess soon or anytime. My cm and cervix have been weird this cycle so about giving up trying to determine anything by those. I do check cervix some to determine if af might get here soon. I want to say I'm really sorry for your losses though it's really rough. I have read many experience pregnancy symptoms before their first af after a mc so I'm attempting to block any out but its so so hard!! I hope your symptoms indicate a sticky bean for you soon though!!

Hey ladies. Well I'm still waiting for ovukation, I'm starting to doubt it will happen as on cd20 now!! I had a lot of ewcm yesterday but opks are no where near showing anything today! Pah. Having issues with ics as well as there's still a super squinter which is very frustrating! I guess my wait continues!

 

[oox_tasha_xoo]

Hi ladies, I'm finally 1DPO so the next waiting game is on... Also got a thermometer now so next cycle I'm going to start temping.
Hi lilyban so sorry about your mc, have you had any signs of ovulation at all?
I'd say your probably still testing too early ( I know il be guilty of that next week lol) fingers crossed for you xx

 

[lilyban]

happynewmom1 thanks for replying. Before being in this situation, if I heard 'wait a week' i'd think nothing of it...but oh my! a week feels like forever now doesn't it! I've also read of so many confusing AF signs with PG signs I've never checked my cervix...is it straight forward?! Fingers crossed for u too

oox_tasha_xoo thanks for your reply too. I had ewcm (which is the only method of knowing when I'm ovulating that I've used so far) but I've had it a couple of times so think I'm still all over the place. How do you do temping? Always said I wouldn't focus too much on TTC but hate the waiting game! Good luck to you too

MC is sadly so common but none of my friends have been through it so I think it's good to talk to like minded people

 

[lilyban]

Just got AF! So I guess those sneaky symptoms were indeed just a sign of that. I'm looking at the positive though, at least it didn't take weeks & weeks to kick back into a regular cycle! Fingers crossed for this cycle!

 

[firsttimer123]

Lily an we will be close is cycles for our May bfps! I am cd4 now

 

[Babylove100]

Okay tmi alert! So today I had even more ewcm but it's kind of pinkish/cloudy. It's not sperm as we haven't bd since Tuesday so any ladies have any ideas what this could be? I'm hoping its a sign for O but the colour and cloudiness make me wonder if it's just part of the mc??

I'm sorry!! But now a fresh cycle. Fx for you this month! This brings me hope.. I desperately just want af to show up to start fresh! Never thought I'd be wishing for it

I hope it means ovulation for you! I think our bodies are just a little out of whack after a mc so hard to say. Maybe it's the rest of what needed to come out to give you a completely negative test? This entire cycle I've had a ton of cm.. Way more than usual. Ewcm different times and creamy and sticky at times I wouldn't normally so who knows.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

could it be impending af ? sometimes i have this just before my period starts, like literally the night before and it is that colour because it is blood tinged x

 

[Babylove100]

Mmm I've not had any cramps...will just have to be patient I suppose and see what happens in the next few days!

I do not cope well with the unknown!!

 

[mimdan]

Hey everyone ! Sorry I've not been on much..been going out as much as I can while kids are still on holiday, plus a break from here has done me good so I will probably just pop on every now and then rather than everyday. ..anyhow I'm around cd56 still no AF...last hpt at weekend was negative sooo all is still rather uneventful x

Firsttimer...I'm sorry AF got you hun I'm still backing you though ! So fx for this cycle ☺

Happy...Hope AF shows soon, sounds like we are in simular positions ! What CD are you ?

Éclairs, I'm glad all is going well for you ��

Good luck all x

 

[happynewmom1]

Mimdan! Happy to see you here! I understand needing a break but we do miss you! I'm glad to hear you are OK! I'm really only cd 30 if I count the first day of bleeding as cd 1 which I've heard conflicting things... So it just feels like forever at this point since I don't know if I've ovulated really and I wanna really try again. But I shouldn't complain.. I'm sorry nothing is happening in that area for you too. That's so long to wait

Good morning all! Been keeping myself (generally not by choice) really busy with work, but enjoyed having a moment to catch up on what is going on with everyone. As much as I hope this month is the month, I agree with you all that AF would be nice to at least know that things are getting back to normal. At least that is what I am going to keep chanting the next 2 weeks.

At the risk of sounding crazy, I am trying to do my best to mimic everything I did last month when I got pregnant before the MC. My cats thought I was crazy doing headstands in the bathroom (after bd-ing last night.) But, got a positive OPK this morning (which I expected from my test last night) so here we go. Follow-up bloodwork at the doctor's today too to make sure my numbers are back down, but given that my OPKs have been negative for a few days, I would think I am okay.

Feeling good except for the 4 new babies seen on Facebook in the last 3 days. I am sure ours are right around the corner.
