Wait 1 period or TTC immediately??

Did you wait 1 period or begin TTC immediately after your MC? I have long cycles so waiting for 1 period is going to feel like a lifetime, but is it best for my body? TIA xx

I didn’t wait, but I also had a very straightforward miscarriage (as miscarriages go…) pretty early on. Unless you were quite far along and/or had medical intervention, from what Dr Google said, it’s safe to try straight away and the main reason they ask you to wait a cycle is for dating purposes.
I know what you mean about each cycle feeling like a lifetime… I remember feeling like we’ve been trying for ages when in reality in miscarried 1st of Jan and found out I was pregnant again 16th of April. Hang in there!

thanks so much ❤️ and congrats 🥰

I miscarried at 9 or 10 weeks but the baby had stopped developing at just under 6 weeks. Miscarriage started naturally and I haven't needed any interventions so far. The consultant initially said wait 1 cycle but when I questioned it, she did say there wasn't any reason to start trying again straight away, I just feel confused 🙃 xx

After your pregnancy tests are negative you can try again x

My consultant told me we could try straight away and could be fertile 21 days later
My pregnancy tests took weeks to go negative though x

In that case go ahead! But as amber is saying, wait for the hcg to leave your body and then try again! Hopefully it all happens quickly got you!

Thanks so much to both of you 🥰 I'll take it day by day and see how my body recovers - take it from there 🤞 x

I should have clarified, I was told if I had a positive test after 3 weeks to go back for bloods, the point is to make sure that nothing is retained. Other than that I think you're good to go 🙂 good luck x

Peak day but burned out :(

We’ve been TTC for a while now. However this is only the second cycle that I am tracking LH/ovulation. A couple months ago I had a health issue which threw off my cycle a little bit. So I wasn’t certain if my LH would have a high peak this month. As you can see from my attached chart, my husband and I kept at it and had sex in the days leading up to CD14 which is when I thought I would ovulate, however here I am on CD18 with a dye stealer ovulation test (second photo attached), but with an incredibly burned out husband since we’ve had sex for 2 days in a row after only 1 day break following 4 more days of sex. But today is officially ovulation day and he is so tired the poor thing :( He is a free spirit and likes to keeps things spontaneous but has been such a team player with trying to time sex this cycle. It’s just come to a point where it feels cruel of me to ask him to do it again tonight. What would you do? Should we just count on the sperm from the last two days? Is there a point in having sex tomorrow in the hopes of catching the egg?

Evaporation Line?

Hey guys - is this an Evap line or a positive?
This is my first pregnancy so I’m unsure what to expect from a test - all previous cycles have been a stark nothing - I thought I saw a line straight away but this is now after 15mins
10DPO (confirmed with Oura Ring and LH strips)
Thanks x

Heartbroken 9dpo negative!

I’m so heartbroken! Tested at 9dpo and it was clearly negative after trying for 6 months after a loss. Anyone else test negative at 9dpo and ended up pregnant 😭 I’m feeling defeated!
