TTC after miscarriage before AF

[happynewmom1]

You guys are amazing! I haven't really felt connected in the February due date group.. I keep coming back here to read I feel sick 24/7 but so far no vomiting which I can't decide if I'd feel better if I was or if it's a blessing. lol but either way, I take it as a good sign everything is still ok. I know.. It's hard to believe that! I got to have one ultrasound so far and I finally got all insurance stuff out of the way and my first midwife appointment set up for the 20th so not TOO far away! Here is baby at 7+3 with a heartbeat of 146. I can't wait to see him/her again to be assured again. I keep seeing later losses around and makes me nervous.

7DPO and symptom spotting over here!

 

[TinyLynne]

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm 4DPO and that O came 3 days early for the first time ever...?

I haven't temped this cycle, as we were just going to wait for AF and then start some meds next cycle. I haven't got a peak on my monitor, but I missed CD18, and looks like the lines are getting lighter now. Plus yesterday afternoon I started getting metal mouth, which happens after I ovulate, so.... I must have. Not to mention the copious amounts of EWCM last week!

So it seems that on our 'break' month, we BDed O-3, O-2 and O.... Whoops. Lol. I regret nothing. We didn't use Preseed though, and we are only 1/6 without it. Had I known I would O early I would have used it! Lol. Not in our hands anymore, but I'm just expecting to start AF in a couple of weeks and start Clomid or Femara.

Any good symptoms, Powell? when do you plan to start testing??

Ohhh so you might still have a chance this month, TinyLynne?? Are you going to test or wait and see if af shows? That's great you have a plan though.. I hope whichever you try works for you. That is if it doesn't happen this month

 

[TinyLynne]

I'm not sure yet. I think I'm gonna wait for AF though, but I do have a bachelorette party to go to on the 18th, so if I don't have spotting or anything then, I might test just in case.

A little af like cramping last night and today. Off and on dull lower back ache. Shooting pains in my va jay jay lay night, better known as "lightning crotch"

I THINK I'm going to start testing in about a week. Unless I get a feeling or symptom before then. I have long cycles so not expecting AF for another almost two weeks. But I also don't usually O so could be a shorter cycle

 

[TinyLynne]

You have a 21 day luteal phase Powell? Is it always that long?

My cycles have always been on the long end but even more so since giving birth and still breastfeeding. I had long LPs whe TTC my son so that much hasn't changed. Cycles averaging 35-45 days but also didnt O but once every handful of months

Thank you! How have you been??

I'm doing good! I didn't realise how much I needed a break from ttc! We're on holiday at the mo so just relaxing and enjoying the sunshine!

Hi there! Would love to join or continue to follow your journeys. I just had a D&C yesterday. No bleeding today just some cramping. I'm 41 this month so I really don't want to wait much longer. Have enjoyed reading through the journal to see your successes.

FX to you guys!

Welcome Tag74. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I hope you have a quick recovery and get your BFP soon!

What a beautiful scan happy!!!

Ladies I thought I would ask you all for your opinions. It is now cycle day 41 and I still have not gotten AF. I had signs that I was going to ovulate around cycle day 14 but ovulation seemed to fail. My Dr. has been less than helpful about everything. I have progesterone pills for inducing AF left from after our son was born. Should I take them or keep waiting it out. I just want AF to get here so we can check 1 month off of the 2 months wait the Dr. gave us. Thoughts?

 

[TinyLynne]

Well, for one I'm sorry your Dr is so unsupportive, I would think that they should test your progesterone or give you a scan to know if you ovulated or not. I hope you can find someone who can better support you.

And while it isn't advised to do things against the Dr orders, I can't say that I won't do the same if I end up in that position in a couple of weeks.

So what is the worse it could do? Look at worst case scenario and decide, that's what I usually do.

Thanks TinyLnne. We are looking for a new Dr. but we have had trouble finding one. My high risk Dr. won't see me until we have successfully reached 12 weeks and we love him. But I want my progesterone taken. I am certain that getting the injections with our daughter from 14 weeks on was all that kept her inside I have an IC. So I believe low progesterone could be a part of the problem why we can't make it to 12 weeks. Plus, what could taking that hurt, I don't see why the Dr. wont prescribe the prometrium just to calm my nerves. As for these pills I don't see another option right now, this Dr. is technically retired and doesn't seem to have the time for us/ he only does paps (small town no other options). My anemia is under control so there is no reason for AF to not be here. I never thought I'd want my period so bad.
