TTC after miscarriage before AF

[Babylove100]

I got my BFP today, confirmed with a digi! I can't believe it...

Of course, all the fear is trying to creep up, but I'm staying positive

Yay fantastic news xan!!!! Congratulations!!!!

 

[mssk]

Oh my gosh Xan!!!! Congratulations! How are you feeling? What dpo are you?

I'm 12dpo- I had a backache yesterday, which has been my sign. This morning I woke up to lower temps and thought if I don't test, I'll freak out all day. DH is leaving tomorrow for a business trip, and I didn't want to waste our day together.

Well, it's really early and I'm trying not to make too much of an early BFP, but fx'ed!

 

[Babylove100]

Over certainly got everything crossed for you!! Eeeek so exciting!!x

 

[xanzaba]

Mssk- how are you doing? 1ww down, 1 to go!

I'm alright. I keep feeling crampy but my cp is high so that is a good sign. This next week feels like it will take forever, but at least we have Christmas and our anniversary to distract us. If we didn't catch this cycle I think we will go with a different OPK test since mine have been all over the place. I think we will do the clear blue digital. But, I have had some hopeful symptoms!

How are you feeling today Xan? Have you scheduled an apt. yet?

I have a regular doctor's visit on the 5th and an OBGYN scheduled for the 20th. I don't know if they see women before 8 weeks here (I just moved and where I was before they didn't). But I'm not sure when we'll be back from Christmas anyway, so maybe I'll just leave things as is. the 20th will be pretty much exactly 8 weeks.

Okay, so the line is officially getting darker!

I went to the grocery store yesterday (13dpo) and couldn't resist getting a box of FRERs (the only ones with 3 tests!). I brought them home and said, I'll test in the morning. I didn't want to have the sort of kind of darker issue to worry about. As I was putting the groceries away, the little voice in the back of my head was saying "Test! Test! Test!" and it just kept getting louder. The rest was a blur until I was standing in the bathroom looking at a line that showed up almost immediately and kept getting darker. It's hard to definitively compare, 12dpo was with a blue dye test, but yesterday's just seems much stronger. I'm going to take another digi with weeks estimator tomorrow. I should be just borderline between 1-2 and 2-3 weeks.

I did end up calling the OBGYN and they fit me in with a midwife on the 4th. I'm going to try to set up the Materniti21 test ASAP.

Beautiful lines. Xx

I just had a MC and the doctor told me to wait 2-3 months to try again. After a bit of research, though, I'm throwing that to the wind. The next time I O, I'll be TTC again.

 

[xanzaba]

Hi TTC74- sorry for your loss. You found a good place to wait it out

 

[Babylove100]

Sorry again for your loss ttc. Wishing you all the best for your rainbow! This thread is lovely so you in good hands!

Hi all hoping I can join you? Here's a bit about me

I've been trying to conceive now since July 2014 and I am at the start of my 16th cycle. Cycle 15 was my first BFP at 10dpo but sadly also my first confirmed mc/cp at 18dpo.

I've been taking clomid for the last three cycles as I have PCOS. The first cycle the doctor doesn't think I ovulated (I disagree as I now think I had a CP based on how weird my bleeding was that month and how like this mc it was). Second cycle I ovulated but nothing. Third cycle on a stronger dose of clomid I got my BFP. Stupidly told close family and friends

We are ready to start TTC already and even though my MC was only last Saturday I have started taking my clomid again. The only thing that scares me as much as miscarrying again is the thought of regretting missing this cycle. If I try and don't conceive I won't regret it as much as not trying and knowing it definitely won't happen this month

Why is it all so complicated and all consuming eh!

Hi girls, I'm hoping I can join as well. I've been following this thread and it seems like a really great group of supportive women.

I'm 33 years old and had a I had a chemical pregnancy on Dec 7th at about 5 weeks. This was my first pregnancy (got a BFP on Cycle 2) and I'm very anxious to start trying again. My hubs has low sperm count so I'd really like to take advantage of this supposedly extra fertile time following the m/c.

My HCG levels went down really quickly-- I was <5 a few days after the bleeding began. My Dr said I should ovulate a couple weeks after my HCG went below 5, which should be any day now if that is accurate.

I've read that cycles can be off after a m/c so not sure what to expect with O'ing this month. I've been doing OPKs everyday for the last week but no sign of any progress yet.

I have had some minor pains, almost like cramping (but not quite) for the last few days and not sure what's up with that since I'm not O'ing and it's probably too soon for AF. Trying not to read too much into it knowing that my body is a bit wonky right not but I'm curious if anyone else experienced mild pain like this?

 

[TTC74]

Well, I woke up cramping this morning (I took misopristonol Sunday). DH convinced me to call the Dr bc he said I shouldn't still be hurting. He was right. I had a clot that was having trouble passing. So, I'm home with meds to pass the remainder of the tissue. Merry Christmas to me!

Kmpreston and Mrs.Rose- I am so sorry you have to go through this and during the holidays too. I needed to try again right away, even though my loss was later (12 weeks) I threw caution to the wind. While it didn't work right away, it got me through those first hard weeks. You both had early MCs, so getting back on track should be easier for you. My doc was worried about low hemoglobin, folic acid, but that's worse the later the pregnancy goes. You've found a good place to wait, lovely ladies here.

TTC74, I'm so sorry but now the recovery begins.

Mssk- any news?

 

[MrsRose168]

Thanks for the welcome, Xan! How are you? Congrats on your BFP!! I saw that you said you were going to get a Materniti21 test--what is that?

 

[xanzaba]

MrsRose- it's a blood test that you can take at 10 weeks to test for genetic problems. The easiest and fastest way to tell if there's a problem. I lost my last pregnancy due to Down's syndrome.
