hi everyone, my husband and I were delighted we'd conceived baby #3 3 months after having my mirena removed. Unfortunately I miscarried at around 6 weeks, my bleeding started on 6th July and ended on 15th July, my hcg levels never got above 143 so they left my system pretty quick, by the 18th I was having bfn at the drs. I wondered when should I expect my AF? before the mc I was always 28 days bang on! I have had no symptoms for AF, although I have had really bad heartburn for 4 days, this was my first symptom last time too, so could I be pregnant? I'm useless at working out dates and cycles and ovulation etc..... we bd'd on 15th July and have been pretty consistently b'ding every other night since then with the exception of a couple of days. when should a test show bfp given all these dates? thanks for taking the time to read, hope someone has some advice for me x

Hello MrsA, I'm not really sure, trying to work dates out myself after MC, but if you assume 6th July to be CD1 then if I've counted correctly you are currently on CD33. Of course dates may be a bit mucked up with the MC, but I think I would take a test with FMU tomorrow and see what it says. Fingers crossed for you let me know how you get on 
It's a bloody rollercoaster isn't it? One minute you think you are, next minute u think you're not, then you do a test and even though its negative you cling to the hope its just too early! Anyway, AF arrived for me last night... At least this will start my cycle again so I know when I am and can revert to trusty shag app 
good lunch Mrs A. Keep me posted. Just finished a soft play session with DD and shattered, remind me why I want another one??? Mrs A I didn't realise you already had 2 little ones! How old are they? Girls or boys? NOSY. Sat in car at Sainsburys while DD sleeps and hubby is buying Saturday night supplies - hence the essay and all the questions... I have 5 spare minutes!
P.s. good luck not good lunch! Although, not wishing you a bad lunch... A good lunch is always nice. Seriously, 5 minutes spare time is clearly too much!!
Defo young enough for another! maybe even a couple! One of my best friends is 30, same as me, her eldest is 16 in October and she's pregnant with her 5th!!! Crazy girl. She's just had some news that her new little girl is going to be born with severe disabilities and baby is having to have blood transfusions every 2 weeks via a huge needle through her tum. Tough times but shes so positive & upbeat. I kind of feel like its put MC into perspective. I haven't told her about being preggers or the MC as I don't want her to play down her pregnancy in anyway. She needs to be as positive as she can without having to watch what she says for fear of upsetting me.
Get you with your posh lunch. We went to the harvester.... Needed a little treat after the traumatic morning I had. Decided it would be a great idea to take some old clothes to "cash4clothes". An experience never to be repeated. Next time I shall stick with being a good person & giving my crap to charity!!!!!
Anyway, AF exactly 4 weeks almost to the hour from my heavy big bleed. Must be 6ish weeks from when I first started bleeding just a little bit.
Ordered a million pregnancy tests off of eBay in readiness for this cycle.
Now you've tested you won't be able to stop! Get yourself on eBay & buy some early tests, they are so cheap. I have mine at the ready for a few weeks time.
MrsPositive welcome! I was expecting a horror show too with AF but its also been fine although bit heavier today and sure I saw a bit of clotting earlier. Hope it trails off soon as normal and then I'm on it... Literally ha!!!!
For now though, I will take advantage of going to bed & being able to let myself fall straight to sleep!
MrsA, keep us posted wont you. The sore boobs was my very first symptom with DD... Oooooooohhhhhhhhhh EXCITING.

Evening ladies - lots going on here since last week.
MrsA sounds like you didn't use a very sensitive test, aren't the superdrug ones 10mIU? So still could be BFP! Will keep my FX for you.
Yes I'm also ttc. I didn't want to wait after the mc, just wanted to get back on it as soon as I could. My mc started on 23 July at about 5 wks and then at a scan on 2nd Aug I had a negative test and was told there was nothing left. So I have assumed CD 1 to be 23rd which puts me on CD 21 today, but as I don't think I've ovulated yet I'm wondering if maybe I'm about a week out or something.
Do any of you take your BBT? Starting taking mine again day after bleeding started and has been a bit all over the place, although does seem to have gone down now so hoping I will still be able to see it rise after ovulation.
Good luck MrsRV and Positive for your new cycles and hoping we will all have sticky beans soon
hi :) nope, not a very sensitive test but hubby bought them and to him a stick is a stick I will be on ebay/amazon tonight to order some cheap super sensitive ones!
symptoms aren't getting any better, in fact boobs are more tender under my armpits and on the sides, and the heartburn is a nightmare! will keep you all posted though
good luck everyone!!!! x
