Waiting for AF after M/C, anyone else? OCBM

[Nat0609]

Hello everyone, I first would like to say I'm so sorry for your losses and that any of us would need to be on a thread titled as this one is. I had a MC that started 6/17, and I am now waiting on AF to try again. Good luck to all of you. I hope we all get our take home babies very soon.

Hello and welcome!

Sorry for your loss.

Are you preventing until after AF?

 

[crysshae]

Thank you!

Yes. My doctor asked me to wait until after my first AF to give my uterus time to heal and for dating purposes. As far as dating, I figured I could chart and know when I ovulate which I'm doing to keep from going crazy anyway and thought about just NTNP, but when DH and I talked about it, we decided if we didn't wait and I miscarried again, we would have a hard time not blaming ourselves for not waiting. It has driven me nuts just waiting around, feeling just lost and like I'm doing nothing, but when my temp spiked today, it game me hope that my body is getting back to normal and maybe I O'd yesterday. Of course, I'll be heartbroken tomorrow if that was just a fluke temp. I so hope not.

I've read your posts on this thread. You think you might be pregnant again? If so, I have my fingers crossed for you!

How's everyone doing? Any exciting news

Crys, sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully you did O and you're on your way to ttc again!

Nat, that opk is definitely getting darker... hopefully it's a good sign

I think I'm finished with AF for this month It only lasted 3 days which is kinda strange, but very heavy and painful. Anyway, I'm hopeful for this new cycle.

Thank you, Lindsay. Good luck this cycle!

You do whatever you feel is right hun.

Hopefully you have O'd and your new cycle is just around the corner.

I'm not sure, probably wishful thinking xx

It is getting darker every time, not sure what it means yet though. I don't know if it's normal for me to get a lot of positives or not cos I've only been taking them a few weeks and in a messed up cycle.

Glad your AF was short and good luck with this cycle. Make sure you stick around to let us know how you are getting on xx

Ok so this mornings HPT had the biggest fattest indent (BFI) I've ever seen. Looks exactly like a line but totally grey/white.

Never seen anything like it. Even my OH can see it and he never sees lines even when they are bfp lol!

Nat0609 - This could be your BFP!! Is that what you're thinking too? You need to use a FRER tomorrow, please!!!!! I'm going to wish this day away now, I'd love for someone to get a BFP on this thread!

Lindsay109 - Remember this could be your cycle. Fingers and toes crossed for you too hun x

Crysshae - I'm so sorry for your loss, I know how painful it can be but sounds strange but I've felt so much better since getting my positive OPK, this means my body is going back to normal and that's so reassuring. As you're not trying, I hope AF comes back for you quickly. I'm on CD 48 following m/c but at least now having ovulated am hopeful for either a BFP or AF.

Nina83 - How are things with you now? Did you decide to temp or not?? Good luck xx

So update from me, still getting positive OPK's but I guess that's right, as I've heard people get them for a few days, they're not as strong now and ovulation cramps have subsided but just to be cautious continuing with the baby dancing. In all honestly, would be happy with a BFP but wouldn't be too bummed if the witch visited as worried the lining is going to be too old to keep a little baby in there now.

I've tried to keep track of whats going on here but got lost!

Nat- do you have a digital? OH are usually blind when it comes to lines- so if he sees something- this may be it!

I've been temping, and overlaying my previous charts, I've always O'd at 36.6.
Yesterday I got a smiley, and a almost not there-squinter HPT. So I took it as a possible O. Plus- the pains, they were killing me.
This morning I'm still at 36.6, with a -OPK, so if my body has figured itself out- tomorrow I should expect a rise.
We also DTD, although DH is scared and wanted to wait a cycle. He's afraid of breaking me the sweet boy. I have a feeling once I get a BFP, he's going to stay away from sex. Last 2 times ended in spotting after sex :s I know there's no connection, but still. He freaked out about it.
I'm happy if O did occur, at least I'll know where I am in this cycle. I plan on testing on the 20th. This will be a long wait!
Mucho love and baby dust to everyone!

I don't think I'm going to get a BFP, it'd be nice if I did but like you I wouldn't mind too much if AF showed up. I'd know where I am with my cycles at least then and be able to work out due date etc.

If I did get a BFP this time there'd be no way to be 100% sure when I conceived and if baby measured behind like last time I'd be a wreck.

If I keep getting those indents I'll get a FRER I promise.

As for someone getting a BFP, we'll ALL have one very soon, PMA! Xx

It's not pink hun, it's weirdly grey. If I get something a little more definite on the ICs I'll invest in a FRER (or two) and a digi (or two) lol.

We avoided sex with my miscarriage and it still turned out bad. I bled with Lily and Jacob and not with the last time and it turned out bad. Reassure him he won't break you and that the inevitable is the inevitable no matter what you do Hope that's some comfort to you both

Roll on the 20th for

Love and back at ya!

I've done a tweak of the HPT compared with a OPK. Pretty sure it's just an indent.

The one that looks pink handled is the OPK.

 

[crysshae]

Mine was a fluke temp. Dropped right back down today. I know better than to get my hopes up on one temp.

I've only used OPKs from the samples I was sent with pregnancy tests I ordered, and they were all negative, so I am no help with those.

Good luck to all of you. Nat is right. We will all get our THBs very soon!

It'll happen, stay positive.

My new motto is think positive, big FAT POSITIVE lol xx

 

[crysshae]

Lol! That's a perfect motto.

 

[Nat0609]

Lol! That's a perfect motto.

Thanks!

P.S. Don't be disheartened if you don't ovulate this month. It's quite common not to. Goes back to my theory of your body not allowing a pregnancy until its got a good chance of sustaining it xx

Our bodies are amazing. It's sad to think that that's exactly what they're doing in early MC- getting rid of something that isn't healthy. It's frustrating, but true.

 

[Nat0609]

I'm getting indents and evaps on my pregnancy tests so think I've got a dud batch. Don't think they are visible in the pic though

I've just taken one with the water in my washing up bowl to see if my bowl is pregnant and for comparison lol!

Top is water xx

It is sad but our little beans were struggling and it wasn't fair for them so our bodies intervened

How is everyone doing? Xx
