TTC after miscarriage before AF

[firsttimer123]

Do you guys track cm? I don't think I had ewcm so I wonder if I didnt o

Hi ladies do you mind if I join you? I had a chemical in November, then got pregnant in Jan and miscarried at 6w3d. I am currently 33 days post start bleeding.

I hope I can help all of you lovely ladies clear up some confusion. The start of your post mc cycle isn't the day you start bleeding, but the day your hcg goes back to zero. Most women will get their first period between 5-7 weeks after a miscarriage. Also many women won't ovulate right after a mc. If you temp like I do, your temps will be erratic, making it hard to pinpoint ovulation. Also most women will have wonky opks and cm making them think they are ovulating when they aren't. It is simply your hormones trying to get back to normal.

Getting pregnant right after a mc can happen, but most doctors discourage it until after the first period simply for easier dating of the pregnancy. That said I am also in the ntnp group in hopes of not missing any possible opportunities. I wish each of you ladies lots of luck and quick sticky bfp!

This is helpful! I had heard the start of the post mc cycle was the start of bleeding. Spotting finally finished for me yesterday and although I'm seeing it's possible I won't ovulate this cycle, I also don't want to miss an opportunity to get pregnant. I usually know when I'm ovulating by checking cm and cervix. If the cervix is open and I'm getting ewcm later, would it be likely I'm ovulating or just the body being weird this month trying? I don't usually use any other method to know but tempted to try other things. I guess I'll wait until I get my official period to do anything else but just ntnp right now. I'm sorry about
your losses! I hope you get your bfp really soon!

Happynewmom you can try if you see your normal fertility signs, there isn't harm in that. Just don't be too heartbroken if you aren't successful because you do have greater odds of not ovulating right now. Also I read that for most women your hcg should be back to zero around the time the bleeding stops, so if you still have hpts, test and make sure you are ready to go.

I am lucky enough to have had one successful pregnancy, so I am trying to remain hopeful that I can achieve it one final time.

OK thank you! I'll definitely prepare myself and just try to relax a little right now. I took a test a few days ago and it was negative. I was actually grateful to see that after reading for some it takes weeks for hcg to get low again. So I guess we will see what happens. I really hope you get your rainbow baby soon thank you for replying!

I do track mine somewhat. I know the last time I got pregnant, I didn't get a ton of ewcm like I usually notice. I had to pay close attention to find any at all.. It was odd but my cervix was high and open and I had slight cramps on one side which is why I knew I ovulated. You maybe had a little that wasn't noticeable. Did you have any other signs? I hope you did ovulate

Hi Ladies! I'd love to join you all. I had a miscarriage back in October at 10 weeks and had a D&C that day. We have been TTC ever since and have been getting very discouraged! We currently have 2 kiddos, but have been pregnant 4 times (2 were miscarriages). For each of those times, we got pregnant on the first try so it's very frustrating we STILL are not pregnant yet I am currently 10 DPO and am planning to test somewhere between Wednesday and Saturday. I ovulated later this cycle so that automatically makes my cycle longer, which it why I may wait until Saturday. Looking forward to learning about everyone!!

Cervix is still high for me... Confusing!

 

[mimdan]

Wow ! Someone's thread has been busy...hello everyone and welcome ! ☺

Just thought i'd chip in with a quick reply being that the subject is EWCM. ..I've just had quite a lot which is unusual for me..It also had 3/4 pin prick sized pink spots in there too...I think I'm CD39 today been testing bfn...any thoughts on what this could be ?

 

[Eclaire]

Not sure what to make of that but hopefully it is a good sign like ovulation spotting or implantation spotting. Fx for you.

CD34 and still no af for me. Based on my temps I am assuming I am somewhere between 7-10dpo. I missed 4 days of temping while out of town and when I got home my temps stabilized in a post ovulation range. I will plan to test on April 1st if the witch hasn't shown. I usually have an 11-13 day lp.

 

[firsttimer123]

It's late in cycle so hopefully ib!!

 

[firsttimer123]

Still have creamy cm... Cd 15 usually have 26 day cycles... Would have expected ewcm by now argggg

 

[mimdan]

Good luck with testing ÉCLAIRS. ..fx for you

Firsttimer hopefully you'll see a change in cm soon hun...did you say you've Been using opks ? Any luck ?

Well as for me I'll just have to wait and see, wait and see, wait and see...If I'm lucky enough that it was ib yesterday when should I test ?

Hoping for some bfp action in here soon !

 

[firsttimer123]

I had cheap opks but never got a positive... On cd13 I got a fairly dark line but the next day it was light again! Urg... What are chances to not ovulate?

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

started using opks again this week after my hpts finally went negative last week.

strangely enough when i had my m.c i turned my period tracker on my phone on (sounds like a satnav don't it haha) and it estimated i would ovulate today based on my previous cycle length etc. I didn't take much notice because there is no way to inform it of m.c so i just left it on to track dates etc

anyways today i got a positive opk! haha. Talk about a fluke! haha a

so yeah unless the opks are not working correctly then i ovulated 19 days after the day i started bleeding. exactly like a normal cycle!

 

[Eclaire]

Mimdan I have heard to wait 4 days after implantation to test to wait for the hcg to build. But lots of people will test earlier.

Rhi I hope your opk is accurate and you catch that egg. I had an almost positive opk right around my normal ovulation time followed by a temp shift that lasted one day. I thought it was ovulation but now I am not so sure. That was 17 days ago.

 

[happynewmom1]

Wow Rhi that's cool!! Fx you are ovulating today and get your sticky bean!

Mimdan, I've also heard to wait a few days after you think you implanted of test.. It depends on how quickly the hcg builds as to when you would see a good positive. You could see something faint on a test in a couple of days

Firsttimer, I'm sorry I can't be much help with opks and I don't know enough to tell you what happened. I hope you did actually ovulate though!

Afm, I can tell this will be a strange and long cycle month already. Bleeding stopped altogether a few days ago.. Zero spotting and cramps and the negative test was last week. So we have been bding again as we kind of decided we will try to relax and ntnp right now. Today I am getting loads of each today and what's weird is my cervix feels slightly open too. Ugh I should have bought opks now but I suppose it's better not to know right now and just bd for fun. I might go crazy though

 

[mimdan]

Firsttimer, once an opk is positive how long does it last ? I was just thinking maybe you tested a little too soon ?

Rhi, maybe it's your lucky cycle certainly sounds it so far fx

Happy new mom, iI'll wait till the weekend to test then if AF doesn't show

I can't wait to see your test! Hope this is it for you!

I'm so bummed because this evening I've started cramping and spotting again I don't know what to think. I feel like my body is such a mess right now.

 

[firsttimer123]

12-24 hours... Now hav lots of creamy cm so must be past o for sure...guess two week wait begins

 

[Eclaire]

I am freaking out! I got a positive hpt this morning. I am either 18dpo or 9 based on bd and temps. I don't think I will tell my hubby until I get some blood work done to confirm this. Thoughts...
