ttc straight after mc

[dinky]

Hi ladies. Found out I was pregnant on 28th July and I miscarried on August 28th. I was 8+1 weeks. Anyway we are trying for another baby straight away, the pregnancy was a massive shock and I didn't appreciate it as we have 2 children already and was preventing anymore but you don't know what you have till it's gone! I only bled for a few days and we bd 2 nights ago and again last night. This morning I woke up covered in blood but as the day has gone on its slowed right down and is now only there when I wipe. Not sure if it's still some bits that had to come away and got stuck but bd made it come out or we did it too soon and I damaged myself but I've had no pain. Don't think it was af as it wasn't enough or didn't last long enough to be af. Has anyone ttc straight after a miscarriage and how long did it take? Thanks!

I'm sorry for your loss. We lost our baby at 15 weeks on 17th aug and I'm still having random bouts of bleeding. We are currently TTC again, I didn't want to wait. I haven't ovulated yet though.

3 years ago today we lost our baby alfie at 18 weeks, it took me 24 days to ovulate. I became pregnant again after 5 months and the pregnancy was successful.

Good luck with Ttc again.

I'm so sorry loraloo for all your losses I've read the story of your little girl eve too you have been through so much bless you! I can't imagine how hards it's all been you must be such a strong person now!
Are you tracking your cycles by bbt or anything? I'm not I've just watching my body for signs. I've ordered 50 pregnancy tests off the Internet that should arrive tomorrow I'm waiting for my pregnancy tests to read negative before I know I'll ovulate again. I still keep randomly bleeding but not a lot.
Good luck to you also on your ttc journey xxx

Thank you for reading Eves story 💖

I'm just doing opks. I usually get strong ovulation signs so it's more to confirm really. I keep getting the odd bit of ewcm but I'm also getting random bouts of bleeding so I have no idea what's happening.
I'm not going to bother doing bbt as I don't sleep well and at least one of the kids has me up during the night!

I hope your tests are negative when they arrive- it took 2.5 weeks for mine to go negative, frustrating! I did read somewhere that you can still ovulate with hcg in your system, and that its progesterone or estrogen that prevents ovulation, but it's pretty conflicting.
Fingers crossed we both get our rainbows soon xx

I don't sleep well either even though my 2 girls are sleeping a good 12 hours at night, although tonight they will be going into bunk beds beds and will probably be getting up through the night now lol. It's only been 10 days from my mc so my tests will probably still be positive just hope it don't take too long to read negative! Fingers crossed we will both ovulate soon although this random bleeding we both seem to have is a bit of a bummer! X

 

[LoraLoo]

Oh bunk beds will be fun 😁 lol. My boys have bunk beds and we have to stagger bed times so that the youngest is flat out before the eldest goes up or they just mess around all night 😄

Yes, the sooner the bleeding buggers off the better. I can go a day or so with nothing and then starts again. I have no idea why seeing as my tests are now negative. Iur bodies can be strange at times.

Hope your girls sleep ok tonight in their new beds 😊 I insgine they'll be really excited x

 

[dinky]

They are really excited! Will probably take them a while to drop off lol but they should be tired with the eldest starting full time school and the youngest doing 5 hours at nursery so hoping they will be really tired by bedtime! Might put them to bed a bit earlier as well then they should be asleep by original bedtime!
Hope our bleeding stops completely and we can start ttc properly x

 

[dinky]

Started spotting again today grrrr!!

 

[LoraLoo]

Have you done an opk? I spotted first time I ovukated after Alfie x

 

[dinky]

I don't have any opks. I don't feel like I'm ovulating I'm still bleeding a bit as well. My pregnancy tests came this morning I'm still testing positive but it's only been 2 weeks not sure how long it takes to go back to negative x

 

[LoraLoo]

Mine took 3 weeks x

 

[dinky]

OK thank you I'll test again next Friday and hopefully it will be back to negative so we can try again x

I'm really sorry for ur loss but I'm guessing ur doctor told u not to TTC again for at least two cycles right?? All doctors do, so if urs didn't u might consider switching to someone else.
Ur body (and mind!) need time to heal. I know it's natural to want to jump right back into it, but there are definitive reasons that all doctors will tell u not to. Usually ur body will stop u anyways (disruption in ovulation, bleeding, etc) ur body will tell u when it's ready
Good luck to u, sorry again for ur loss

I plan on ttc as soon as I can. I started to miscarry on Sept 5. My heavy bleeding didn't start until the 13th and lasted for 2 days. Now it is light and tapering off. I really wish it would end already. Lol
My fertility specialist didn't restrict me at all. I don't ovulate on my own so I don't think she is concerned with my getting pregnant before my next af. But I am allowed to go back on femara my first cycle.
And I think everyone is different. While I am sad it happened my emotional state has healed faster than my physical one.

That's certainly not the standard advice here in the uk.
Most drs advise one cycle purely for dating purposes.
Conceiving a baby straight Fter a miscarriage actually has a better success rate- the slightly elevated hormones help support the new pregnancy.

Hope it happens for you soon aayla sorry you have had to go through this! Good luck in ttc and hope it happens for you soon! My doctor didn't tell me to wait, I feel ready to try again. I'm excited about trying again although I obviously wish I didn't have to try again I keep thinking about how far I would be now if it hadn't of happened. I'd be 11 weeks now! Just want my body to go back to normal so we can try again x

My dr is also happy for us to go ahead now and has prescribed me the high dose folic acid.
I'm in the tww now and I don't feel hopeful but least I can get on with the next cycle if I'm not. It's just frustrating 😔
