Charting - TTC after recent MC

Not sure how many people are keen on this, but I thought it would be nice to have a Charting thread especially for those of us who are going to keep TTC after recent miscarriage?

I find this forum so supportive and I wouldn't have learned about Charting at all if it wasn't for the girls in the Charting thread. But that thread can move along so fast, I just feel there is a need for a bit of 'separation' for those of us in a slightly different situation.

A thread such as this could help us, and others, to learn about when our body becomes ready once again to TTC via charting. There have been quite a few people asking on this forum as to WHEN their body would be ready to TTC again - so I think this could be quite helpful.

Hi MB

I'll join you in here, I had my m/c on 1st November and then a BFP straight after that (no cycle in between) but sadly got my AF shortly after. Like you my hcg never rose and my doctor thought it was left over hormones from my earlier m/c. I knew I was pg though, felt crook and my HPT kept getting darker so must've been. Its been a roller coaster of emotions for me over the past few months. We have taken taken this month off and will try again in Jan. Just ov so I'm counting down til when we can try again!

Chating is awesome and such a good way to tell how your cycle is tracking. I have been charting for over year now but only 4 of those months have been TTC. Been kind of successful so far! I'm sure one will stick for us soon !!
I hope you enjoy your NY even though you are going through a sad time. I look forward to seeing how you are going when I am back to work on Tuesday.

Take care

Hi ladies,

Here is my Chart, starting today I guess, as today is the first sign of 'red' on my AF/MC.

I don't know how to make links etc, will also post in the Charting thread though as both will be good to follow esp with all the good ladies in there who are charting experts aye!

I will join too.
Sorry to those who have miscarried.
I lost my baby on New Years Eve. About the worst way to welcome in a new year.

I am going to start charting again. Will post a link soon.

I am not going to wait to TTC. I was 5 weeks when i miscarried, and it has all happened naturally, no D & C. The midwife doesn't see any reason to wait, except until I am emotionally and mentally ready. She said if my body isn't ready then it won't happen straight away though.

But I just want to have another baby soon. I feel like it might go some way to fix my heartache.

Hila, do keep your chart in the 'Charting' thread as well, not just here, okay chick? There's tons of support in there as well. I like to think I have two places to go to 'chat', this one primarily for us girls who have mc'd, and the other one to share any and every kind of news (like getting pregnant, TTC, etc etc).

It started about 2pm. I just went to the loo, and I noticed a tiny amount of blood on the toilet paper. I wasn't too worried at that stage, but called the midwife, and went and saw her 10 minutes later. She said it wasn't a good sign, but some people do bleed and it is okay. I had some bloods done.
I got the results back later that day and my hcg level was only 18, which is not good at 5 weeks.
then about 9pm the bleeding become really heavy and clotted, and I had really bad pains and I knew it was all over.
There was one really strange thing that happened. Right after I started bleeding, just before I went to see the midwife a bird flew into the house. I didn't even click at the time, cos I was so stressed, but if a bird flies into your house it is an omen of death coming to someone in the house.

Here is the link to my chart:
