i lost my second child at 18 weeks, she was born on the 3rd (natural delivery no induction, d&c or other surgery) and my first (and only) period after her birth started the 30th/31st of that same month. we started ttc right after she was born and i had 1 period before falling pregnant again so i fell pregnant roughly 5 weeks after her birth.. end result a healthy full-term baby boy.

i was told to wait 3 months "just because" but couldnt stand not bin pregnant.. all i would say is do what feels right for you and i wish you all the best for a happy, healthy, full-term pregnancy xx

Ah thanks for that 4blue xx i certainly cannot wait 3 months either!! 18 weeks - that is far along, sorry for your loss too I was just shy of 13 weeks (and i still have a light bleed) but back on to OPK's and close to a positive strangely. Just going to keep testing and do what feels comfortable x

So sorry for your loss squiggle- just a warning about OPKs- HCG still in your system can give you a false positive on an OPK. I am not sure how long it takes for HCG to go away but just remember that when using OPKs. Good luck honey.

I had a MC (7 weeks) a few weeks ago (21th of Nov) and my OB also told me to wait 1 cycle, but I can't stand that everyone around me is pregnant (especially since we last our DD in June) so we didn't wait. I'm now in my 2ww (only 1 week till I can do a pg test) so I'm hoping this will be a sticky pink bean
I wish you all the best of luck!

Hi Girlie, yeah i did think of that.. It seems to be getting darker like they would if i were testing opk's. Not sure what to make of it, but they are like fade in's. I dont know how possible it is to ovulate whilst still a light bleed anyway?? Its been 2.5 weeks since miscarrying.. My pregnancy tests are negative and i did a test at the hospital last week and also negative - Which they said meant no longer pregnant and everything has gone. My GP did say to wait a cycle but i also know that it is possible to fall pregnant again without having a period. I just dont know how to catch that next egg?!!

I don't know enough to know when you start ovulating again, but you could always do every 4 days just to be sure that you are covering yourself in case your body doesn't give you a clear +opk. I did every 3.5 days the cycle I fell pregnant and good thing because I completely missed my O. I literally DTD Monday night and Friday morning, so exactly 3.5 days, for several weeks. I don't know gender yet though. Good luck.

Im almost certain i got a positive today/tonight! Just chatting things over with my DH.. He hasnt released in over a week (as i have been bleeding etc) and he is 39 so we are not on to a good start here. He could release and dump and then we BD for our attempt but its already 9pm, Lol!! Didnt think i would get a positive i just tested with OPK's to see what was going!! Ah, decisions, decisions!!

no worries i thought id share my experience because i was exactly the same as you, i just had to get pregnant again as fast as possible, no longer been pregnant and having instead to sort out a post-mortem and her funeral was so devastating and unbearable for me.. try not to stress over it just do what feels right for you, i have my fingers crossed for you and will look out for updates from you xx

Thanks a lot squigglepink!
I'm feeling nauseous since yesterday but it seems way too early to have that :s (but except when I'm pregnant I never feel nauseous). We'll see...hope this MC sways pink a little.
And I'm crossing my fingers for you as well
