TTC after miscarriage before AF

[Angel5000]

Can I ask a question? When counting how far along you are at MC, do you count from last MC or from O day?

That's really reassuring that some of you ovulated during the month after mc. I lost my baby at 5 weeks, just 8 days ago, so I'm hopeful that I'll ovulate on Thursday. We've planned our bding accordingly!!! My temps have been a bit odd so far since the mc... Stayed higher for a bit but big drops last 2 days.
Love to you all xx

Angel, most doctors say use the day of LMP (last menstrual period) to date pregnancies, but this is really only accurate if you have the perfect cycle where you O on day 14. I do not. So the best way to accurately date it is if you are completely sure of your O date, then add on 2 weeks to how far you are from O date.

Angel-exactly what Tiny said

AFM- I am happy to say AF is here finally I was afraid that I would need medical assistance again. With how crazy this first cycle was I think I O'd later or didn't O at all. I had passed a piece of tissue this cycle even though my HCG had been suspected as to 0 since it was last taken just over 5 so maybe that is what kept AF away to begin with. And maybe that is why this cycle was so weird. I hope that I can join you ladies with BFPs again soon!

Thanks Tiny & mssk. My cycles aren't very regular since I Stopped bc, but since I started vitex and b6 a couple months ago they've been exactly spot on. But I felt like counting from last mc was misleading. My LP is only 11 days (8 days w/out vitex and b6), and I got my bfp on 10DPO and 11DPO and AF came on the next day (so 1 day late for me). So, I never even made it to 2 weeks, but I wasn't sure whether that was supposed to be considered "two weeks" or "four weeks". Not that it matters, just a logistical question.

So happy for your fresh start Mssk! I'm excited to see you get that BFP soon! Will you do anything different this cycle?

 

[mssk]

I'm not sure Tiny. I was thinking about ordering OPK's but then I realized that I was getting so crazy about it last cycle that it took all the joy out of it, I was really stressed out worried about my due date lining up with my clinicals. I think I am just going to take all my vitamins religiously and try my best to relax. It will happen and if I am pregnant right before clinicals or during we will find a way to make things work. We will see if I am able to relax though once AF is over lol

Mssk- it sounds like we are on the same schedule. I had a long wait after MC, and then O'ed late the second cycle. Happy to say though that at CD 13 my OPKs are almost there- I'm sure I'll have my smiley by tomorrow. I guess this is why the doctor suggested waiting 2 cycles.

I'm taking Fertility Blend. It took us a while to get pregnant, the 3rd month on Fertility Blend after 2+ years of trying. And then the second time I was pregnant the second month of Fertility Blend. I took it last month, but it turns out not long enough since I stopped before I really O'ed. I'll keep on taking it this cycle until the witch or that second line shows up and is confirmed by the doctor. Hoping it does the trick.

hi ladies hope all is going well, I have a huge sense of relief today my cycle came right on time 27 days after D&C, but I decided to wait this one out and try for iui next month

 

[ILoveme29]

@Xanzaba how many pills of fertility blend do you take a day I was taking ferliaid and had to take 4 pills so I stopped it was way too much

Hope I can ask a quick question ladies. I am about 6 days past when miscarriage started and no longer bleeding but hpt still shows faint second line. Just out of curiosity I tried opk today and it came back negative. Do you think it's ok to start using opk again & how long for hcg to clear system entirely? I guess that's 2 questions lol.

In order for you to O HCG has to be <5 so if the HCG is no longer in your system I don't see any problem with using opt to check for O. HCG varies from person to person really hard to pin-point.

 

[xanzaba]

Iloveme- it says up to 3 Fertility blend a day, but I've only ever taken 2. My iron/hemoglobin run high and I can have too much iron.

So i am also trying to concieve before AF i have an ovulation kit and im still getting the blinking flashing smiley face, but my husband and i are trying every night im hoping that i can concieve i guess i will know or not in a few weeks. I dont know when AF is suppose to happen since its suppose to come 4-6 weeks after my D&C and that would put me at my next AF on Sept 16th but idk. Fingers crossed and i need as much baby dust as i can get

 

[Carlimar]

Iloveme29- I think I'm going to have my Ob check my hcg level so I know what I'm dealing with. Thanks

I am so excited to hear that some of you are getting one step closer to your rainbow baby. I am anxiously awaiting my first period. Its' been nearly 3 weeks since my miscarriage.

I am hoping, wishing and praying that things move along nicely.

I am still bleeding a bit from my miscarriage but it is on its way out. I don't ovulate on my own, I have to use femara, but has anyone heard of someone having spontaneous ovulation because they got pregnant and the body figured out what it had to do?
My doc doesn't seem to think it is an issue as she didn't mention anything about using protection and they mentioned what the next steps are before I go back on femara.

hey Aayla, I don't ovulate on my own either. I always have to use Femara, but from reading it says for women who are anovulatory after MC it is likely to fix on its own you just never know. Im entirely shocked my cycle came on time right after MMC im not sure if I want to try this month or not.

 

[xanzaba]

Tiny- how are you doing? How many weeks are you?

Thanks. We're not going to try and prevent anything. the likelyhood that I will ovulate on my own is slim but I know not totally unheard of. I can't google the question right so I can't seem to find any info on it. I know that my cousin needed clomid to get pregnant with 2 of her children. One month they never bothered to use protection or anything because she needed the drugs for both her other kids. Wound up pregnant with a 3rd. lol. But she also has a mild case of PCOS where as mine is severe.
But it would be a lovely thought that when I take my last hpt on Oct 2 to make sure the hcg is gone that it came out very positive. lol A girl can dream
