TTC after miscarriage before AF

[firsttimer123]

Not sure where you are located newmom but I am in Canada... You can go to walkin clinic here and they will do blood work for you... If they are concerned they will order a repeat for a few days later... Could you do that?? Might put your mind at ease!
I am in my tww but not feeling hopeful as hubby was away for 3 days in the fertile window... I also did opks but never got a true positive, very frustrating... I feel like I am too young to be struggling to conceive baby number 1... Everyone makes it seem so easy (hate social media)

Teeny weeny, you are absolutely right.. Worrying really won't change the outcome whether good or bad and basically just makes it worse. It's just so difficult not to! Thanks for that reminder. I definitely have been getting so caught up in the lines I haven't stopped to appreciate that for right now, I'm pregnant. Sometimes an attitude adjustment is just what I need

Firsttimer, I'm in the US and we called when my mc started and each test they said would cost us like a couple hundred dollars. It was insane but I do plan to call a few different ones and see if some might be better! Thank you!

I'm so sorry it's been such a difficult journey things aren't as easy as social media makes it seem either. I actually quit getting on Facebook and such. I'll use messenger to stay in contact with people but don't look on the newsfeed or anything. Just keep in mind people don't usually put their struggles on Facebook.. Just the good.

Well the line this morning looks light than yesterday. I have a lot of symptoms but not much hope

This is my first time in a forum and I've been replying to people but not using the quote thing....I wondered why everybody was ignoring me lol.

Wow!!! Those lines are definitely getting darker :happy dance: How exciting for you, keep thinking positively as worrying won't change a thing!

I'm expecting to ovulate at some point this week...fingers crossed. My husband works away though so the only chance we get is at weekends You mentioned checking your cervix for signs of ovulation....how does this work? x

How hard is this TTC after MC?! I think I may be somewhere between 3 and 6 dpo... Maybe! I have no idea when to expect AF or if indeed I did ovulate for sure. I am not so patiently awaiting AF to get back to having some kind of idea when I may be fertile. I don't use OPKs as I have PCOS and they can therefore be unreliable. My main sign is cervical position which has worked for me before. I don't know if the cervix can feel different after a D&C so that's thrown me this month.
If I am correct and I did ovulate last week, I expect AF Middle/late next week. Xx

Look at site my beautiful cervix but pretty much you track cm and cervix changes throughout cycle lose to o your cervix should be high and the os open... Also ewcm should be present... I find ewcm hard bc mine is more creamy and stretchy never gets to that really clear ewcm so who knows! Good luck, my hubby was away this month too so not feeling tha t great about our chances

I do this but I kinda had to learn what my cervix did all month to get when I'd be ovulating. It would always be super soft and open and I'd have ewcm.. So those things together told me I was ovulating. Having said that, I think my mc messed me up this month and I couldn't tell pinpoint exactly when I ovulated.

Ohhh and have fun bding! Hope you catch that egg this weekend!

Also thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

Yes.. This is what I would do too to figure ovulation out. Unfortunately.. I couldn't determine it at all like I used to this cycle. Have you been bding a lot? We just bd a lot hoping I did or would ovulate and I guess I must have. It is so hard not knowing though!

Hopefully you did or will soon!

Thank you, Rhi Rhi! You all have eased my mind today don't have any tests for tomorrow to torture myself with so will wait a few days and likely test again lol

We have BD at least 3 times a week for the last 3 weeks, so if there was an egg there we may catch it. The only extra problem comes that we suffer secondary infertility and male factor too so it would be a huge miracle to happen again so soon.
We have the infertility doctor next week anyway so perhaps we may get some extra help TTC from him. We are now at our year mark TTC, and age isn't on my side. I'm going on 35, with PCOS and I feel a huge pressure to get pregnant again quickly. Xx

That's rough I'm sorry you have had to go through all of that. You guys are being a lot so fx you get your little miracle despite those things.

Can anyone help me?

Okay first off, my name is Britney and I've been googling and searching for any answers with what I'm going through.. I'm driving myself crazy I'm pretty sure because I feel like I have no one to talk to really about what is going on with me.. I've talked to doctors and they tell me I have to wait for a positive test to come in.. So here is my story, I was 6w4d when I miscarried, our baby had no heartbeat so we decided on doing a D&c because I didn't want to miscarry at home.. I did my d&c on March 20th.. (Worst day of my whole 21 years of living) my fiancé and I had been trying to conceive for 6 months and I fell pregnant and we miscarried. Doctor said that I could start trying when I was done bleeding and I stopped bleeding after 3 days.. On the third day me and my fiancé started doing the deed everyday about 3 or 4 times a day up until now, (April 28th) I have irregular periods and I'm not sure when I ovulate or anything like that because I've never charted or kept track.. Whenever I did I had my periods like on day 30 or 31 instead of 28 days. No later. I did hcg blood work it was at 22, then down to 13 two days later.. So I knew that it was from my previous pregnancy I took a pregnancy test about 2 weeks or 3 weeks ago it was faintly positive, but I knew it was from my miscarriage from left over hormones. I took one today and it's negative. But I still have not gotten my period..my symptoms, well... Ive googled and googled and googled and every forum says its early pregnancy symptoms.. I've had back aches cramping and usually I get cramping like I'm going to have my period but I'll start bleeding 20 minutes later, I've been having cramps off and on for the last week or so. And they don't deel like mensteral cramps. They feel like tingling and pulling. Almost if Im hungry or something but I eat and they don't go away. Especially at night. It's just weird. I've also had (tmi) like watery milky discharge which I haven't had before I was tested for std and it was all negative.. I'm just having more then I usually do.. I've had headaches, my food appetite is crazy I'm always wanting to eat. I get dizzy when I stand or even when I'm sitting. So down to the point, am I testing too early if I am pregnant? Should I wait another week or so.. I have to go to the doctors Thursday because they want to do another hcg test so I will see on Thursday what that is. Has anyone had any of these things happen to them? I'm just confused on why I have not gotten my period. When I was younger i had a d&c and I remmeber getting my period right after 2 weeks later I got it. This time I haven't. I am getting my hopes up so much by reading things on the Internet and how badly I want to be pregnant again I'm literally driving myself crazy with this. So my questions: has anyone has anything like this? Does anyone think I could be pregnant and I'm just testing to early? All of your replies are greatly appreciated and I hope and pray for all of you with your TTC journeys.

Anything is possible after mc.... Drs do say it takes 4-6 weeks for first af after dc... Also hard to know when you ovulated and if you did. I did not ovulate after my dc

I don't know what to think anymore. I'm driving myself crazy. I want to be pregnant again so badly but now I feel like just giving up and going with the flow of things..

Well it looks like I'm losing this baby too. What is wrong with me

Oh happynewmom, what's happened?? Keeping everything crossed for you!

 

[happynewmom1]

Oh happynewmom, what's happened?? Keeping everything crossed for you!

Started spotting yesterday and now it's really heavy so I'm almost sure it's over

Do you know anything about the rhogam shot? I had it with my first two as I'm rh-, but I didn't realize I should have it after miscarrying.. Do you know if I do? Different articles say different things but I'd feel so horrible if it's causing the miscarriages by not getting it.

I am so sorry happynewmom

Oh hunni I'm so so sorry this is awful. I'm really praying it's just a bleed and nothing more sinister. Have you taken any tests today?

Well all I know is that when I was in hospital I asked what being rh- meant and the nurse said if some is rh- then they need a shot after a miscarriage. I'm rh+ so I was just being nosey, but I know everything I've heard and read says you should have a shot done. Could you ring your doctors and see what they say and if you can get one now? Sending you big

Thank you so much dh did more reading on it and we decided we will go somewhere this afternoon to get one. We don't have a doctor yet.. I guess I'll call some walk in clinics and decide where we should go. Really wish I could hide in a hole right now.
