TTC November 1st cycle since MC. Anyone else?

[LouOscar01]

Hello!

I'm feeling positive for the first time since my MC today because (prompted by Provera) I have my period! That means I can start Clomid tomorrow (I have PCOS) and I can be TTC again!! I'm so excited!

If there's anyone else TTC after a recent miscarriage come and join me! Or TTC with fertility issues! (I'm both!)

Feel free to share a little about yourself and your story if you want and we can start this journey together!

I'm 25, been trying for 16 months now. Fell pregnant on 4th cycle of 100mg Clomid in August. Miscarried at 9w. I had a very traumatic miscarriage. It was a missed miscarriage, took misprostil thought i'd passed everything after a clot the size of my hand but scan a week later showed pregnancy was all still there. Then they dropped the bombshell that it was twins in the same sac and that one had never been viable. I'd heard the heartbeat of my baby at 7weeks so I'd been feeling positive. They've indicated that the death of tiny baby caused the death of big baby as they were in the same sac. I booked in for a suction evacuation proceedure and had that. Then got infected 2 days later and was back in hospital on an IV. My lining was still 20mm thick so they hadn't scrapped enough in the evacuation proceedure! I don't get periods naturally so I waited 2 weeks following the scan and requested Provera from my GP. And that has worked!!

I'm feeling very relieved and hoping that this means there is little chance of uterine scarring adhesions (read about them after my operation and got very scared).

Obviously my biggest fear going forward is that it will happen again! Previously I was fearful I'd never ovulate, then I got Clomid, then I was scared I'd never fall pregnant, then I did, now I'm scared I'll never carry to term....let's hope I do!! I get a step closer each time but this is the big one now!!

Wow I've waffled. Sorry.

We can do this!! xxxx

Oh my, that is quite a story! How traumatizing! I suffered from an Ectopic. I was 5w6d pg and diagnosed on October 3rd. I was treated with methotrexate and have been waiting for my numbers to reach zero. They FINALLY did today and I'm very excited although my feelings are mixed. With methotrexate you are supposed to wait 2-3 cycles to try again. I can at least start taking my prenatals again this month and am building up to trying again. However, it was my second loss, the first being an early miscarriage at 5 weeks in January. It took us another 8 months to get pregnant so I too was totally devastated. It is terrifying to think it could happen a third time, but the truth is, what can we do but keep trying? I would be happy to join your forum, since today technically marks round three of ttc for me I'm 32 by the way, but my hubby is 47....so tick tock tick tock in my world....lol.

Hi LTweety! An ectopic? That sounds so scary. Ectopics make me realise how crazy it is that women aren't scanned till 12 weeks!

Exactly, what can we do but keep on trying?! There's no way I'd ever be able to give up.

8 months is a long time till you conceived again was it 8 cycles, or were you waiting for periods to normalise and stuff first?

I hope the 3 months flies for you xxx

Ectopic was very scary. But after my MC my cycles went straight back to regular. I actually ovulated two weeks after. I'm currently waiting to ovulate now for the first time since my HCG went back to zero. I'm counting that as the first day of my cycle, so I imagine I have another week and 1/2 before my body tries to gear up.

I think one of our problems is my EWCM...or lack there of. This last time I got pregnant the first cycle i used Preseed. It seems odd though, this may be tmi, but I don't lack "arousal fluid" just EWCM and I guess that matters. I will definitely be using it again.

How did you end up getting diagnosed with PCOS? I'm just curious...ultrasounds? Did some symptom trigger the testing?

Oh, and being new to posting, how do you link your FF chart to your tagline?

Hi ladies, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck. I just had my first AF since I miscarried 6 weeks ago. I've been bleeding on and off for the past 3 months so I might give my body a break for 1 more month. I want to make sure everything is really back to normal before I jump back in. Even though my DH and I are in our thirties I still feel the clock ticking. Hope to join you soon

 

[moonstar_004]

miscarried at 6 weeks the past month. it was my first bfp and first cycle on ovamit(another brand of clomid). i still charted, counting my bleeding as cd1. it seems that i have ovulated on cd16. i'm not too hopeful on this cycle though.

fingers crossed for all of us!

 

[Ltweety]

Rinaz-welcome!
moonstar_004-Sorry about your MC. Were you diagnosed w/PCOS? What prompted the use of ovamit?

nice to meet you all!

Pcos on one ovary. I have very regular periods so the other ovary must be compensating. After 6 months of trying, I was prescribed ovamit.

My chart shows that I already ovulated, but temps are not as high compared to when I got my bfp past month. Oh well.

So sorry MrsMax. There is always hope. It looks like you got pregnant naturally this time...it can happen again. It doesn't make it feel better I know! Welcome, at any rate.

Hello!
Hoping to jump in here too. I'm cd1 after just finding out yesterday that my very first BFP wasn't viable. Beta on Monday was 67 and yesterday 47 and started bleeding today.

Im going to start trying again right away. Have an appt for an ultrasound next week (was suppose to be for viability but I'm keeping it to make sure everything passed) then an appt with my gynocologist and my family doctor. I'll probably start testing for o around cd9 in hopes that my cycle didn't change much.

i had my first AF oct 11 im due for my next one if she doesnt show up i will be started on progesterone to help me im hoping to conceive again

that's what happened to me too, except that my first beta was in the 500 range and dropped to 80s after 2 days. i expelled naturally and counted it as cd1 even if my temps didn't drop like they normally do when i have my period. i still continued temping to see if i'll still ovulate as normal, and looks like i did based on my chart. like you, we started ttc also immediately after.

 

[LouOscar01]

I had a scan yesterday (CD10) which showed my lining at 6.2mm and a dominant follicle at 12x11mm so I should hopefully ovulate this week! Feeling excited and anxious but so so happy to be moving forward.

I had other symptoms of PCOS and it had been mentioned when I was 14. Officially diagnosed this time last year after blood tests. my ultrasound was actually clear but I had just come off the pill. 5 months later my ultrasound showed PCOS. I was prescribed clomid straight away because my periods were every 100+ days.

Adding your FF chart...I don't remember how I did this...go to the fertility friend webbsite and get the code and then go to your settings.

Anyone testing with OPKs or HPTs the next couple of days? I need to live vicariously through someone lol.

I'm testing with OPks. My temps are all over the place this cycle. I have no idea what CD I am because my ectopic in beginning of October has everything all screwed up. My OPKs seem to be getting lighter and my temps look like my post o temps, although a little low....I'm so confused! I counted the first day HCG was measured 0 as CD1. Now I wonder if I missed it all together and should be waiting on AF???

 

[mrsmax]

Testing opks at weekend!!

 

[Trr]

I'm starting OPKs on the weekend too. I need to be peeing on something to feel like I am being proactive in conceiving.

Tweety- what day do you usually o?

 

[moonstar_004]

Ltweety, just keep on temping, although i can see what you mean about temps all over the place. but if af comes, you can at least start fresh right?

i counted my miscarriage bleeding as cd1 last month. i only tested after the bleeding was over, just to double check if hpt can still detect hcg in my system, and it was stark white. maybe you should've counted cd1 earlier? not sure though.

Exactly what I did.
