TTC after miscarriage/loss

Welcome ladies but sorry you are here. I hope you all recover without any issues and can carry on your journeys shortly.

Rach, in regards to trying again, from my reading you are at your most fertile in the first 1-2 cycles post miscarriage and all advice seems to be wait one cycle before trying again (so wait for your first natural period). Having said that it's all up to you. With my 4wk m/c I tried again immediately and got pregnant. But when I lost that one at 7wks, I waited for my next period which has left me where I am now, 10 days in and waiting to ovulate. I just felt I wanted to make sure my lining was completely clean and healthy before another implantation. So whatever you're comfortable with will be the right decision.

It seems there is quite a few of us from November in here?
We waited until this month ttc because I wanted to give myself a bit of time to recover but was told it didn't really matter if you did or not :) hopefully good news soon

Thanks for the welcomes and advice. That's exactly what I remember thinking when going through it - I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Hi guys, just popping in to say hello and see how everyone is going.  Today is a year since I lost my angel... feels strange it was that long ago already, and sad that its been a whole year with no more success thus far. Today we had our first open home and the spare room was still just full of baby stuff, so we had to make the room nice for the open home, So I had to put the cot up to make the room look usable. So this morning, on my angels anniversary, I put up the cot he was meant to be using by now..but for a non-existent child... how ironic- today of all days. had a wee cry but now feeling ok. think Ill keep the door shut and avoid that room. But other than today im actually feeling good. really good if im honest! Im fully into my dancing, my first comp is all booked in for June so am very busy training up for that. Also with selling the house thats kept me busy. still not loving my job but have decided to stay until DD goes to school in the new year then i can look for something else without stuffing her around. currently not doing fert drugs or anything and just giving my body a break and trying to lose about 5kg- more to just feel good than anything and have more to focus on just for me. so thats me. 

Good luck for this cycle Poppy.

Hi everyone, I'm popping in to say hi and to say thankyou. I haven't been in the forums for a while, I had a mc 11w5d and another one at 6w last year. I found this forum and all the wonderful supportive women here and it really helped me through those first few weeks. Thank you everyone for your kindness and I am also sorry to see that there are many new members in here too, but I'm sure you find the same comfort in this forum that I did.

It was just too hard for me to move on when I was checking in here all the time, so towards the end of last year I stopped logging in. It just gave me the mental space to focuss on myself and my emotions, being there for DH and allowing my body to do what it had to do without my brain getting in the way with the negative self-talk: "why won't my body do what I want it to do? I wish it would hurry up and ovulate/finish bleeding/gimme a BFP! I did everything right, why didn't this pregnancy work out?"

I was watching the clock all the time and my whole life was being dominated by WAITING, a feeling I'm sure you are all familiar with! So after my 2nd mc in Nov last year I decided to really take some time off from all this baby stuff.

Long story short, I got a BFP on new year's eve :) I did early pregnancy monitoring and progesterone pessaries and 12 terrifying weeks of checking for blood every 5 minutes and bursting into tears at every scan. I so didn't want to get my hopes up that I struggled with my old ill-fitting bras until about 3 weeks ago when I finally bought a maternity one, lol! But I'm 23 weeks along now and it's going well.

Again I'm so thankful for the kindness I found here in this forum and the empathy of all you wonderful women. Our bodies are doing their thing, we just sometimes don't understand them. Big hugs and lots of love to everyone in here and I hope that your success stories are just around the corner.

Hi guys,
I've just joined this forum and looks like this is the best page for me so hope you don't mind me joining in with you all?!
A little background on me - My husband and I have been trying to conceive 5 years in September and were so excited when we were told we were pregnant in March with our second IVF/ICSI cycle. We were then over the moon to discover at our 7 weeks scan our one embryo divided into two and we were expecting identical twins. Sadly at our last scan last week (at 9.4 weeks) we were told both had no heartbeats. We were totally shocked I had no signs and had last vomited the day before at work with my morning sickness - I still felt pregnant!! So I opted for Misoprostol tablets to bring on the miscarriage and discovered at my scan this week I needed another dose as there is still tissue and blood remaining so hoping at my scan next week it has all passed this week.
On a positive note we are lucky to have one frozen embryo remaining from our IVF round in March so as hard as it is at the moment at least we have another chance in the next few months. So I look forward to sharing and hearing all your upcoming journeys

Welcome missy but sorry you need to join us. It sounds like you've been on a real rollercoaster. I hope everything clears out nicely and you can start the healing process. It's great that you still have another embryo to try again when you're ready.

Rin, always good to hear a success story. Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

So, got an oestrogen rise on my opk today. Hoping that means I'll ovulate soon although I've had this before and it not be followed by ovulation so we'll see.

Hi ladies whats the go with TTC after a miscarriage is it ok to start after bleeding stops if you feel emotionally ready?? Lots of conflicting advice on Dr Google.
I was about 8-9 weeks when miscarried.

Kumeroa, you can start straight away or wait until you're ready. I tried straight away with a 5wk m/c but with my later ones I waited for my next cycle before trying as wanted to ensure a fresh lining. animaxnz is right, you are most fertile after mc.
