Hi everyone! First of all, I’m sorry that we need to be here, but glad there is a space to share and get advice.

Long story short, in the last six months I’ve had a MMC (found out at my 8 week ultrasound that baby’s heart stopped at around 6 weeks 4 days), followed by an ectopic two months later (treated with one shot MTX at around 5 weeks). The doctor listed of all of the risk factors (IUD, smoking, endo, STI, surgery, etc) and I don’t have any of them; I’m a fairly healthy 30 year old.

I’m just wondering if anyone else is in the same situation, and if there was anything that you realized was a risk factor after? Or anything that you started doing differently that helped you to conceive again? It’s hard for me to wrap my head around because I feel like I have no control and now because I don’t know why it happened, I can’t do anything about it.

Thank you ❤️

Hi everyone. I had a D&C for an MMC measuring 6 weeks 4 days on May 21st. My period returned June 23rd and we TTC this cycle. I was having the same breast tenderness as when I conceived so tested on Saturday, negative. Started spotting light brown so thought my period was coming. Tested faintly positive Monday, Tuesday, and today, slightly darker each day but faint. On Tuesday, the spotting turned into dark red bleeding and intense cramping, so I am assuming this is a chemical pregnancy.

I guess I’m just wondering if others have had this experience… Could it be because of the D&C… Will this continue to be a pattern… Should I be waiting longer to try again… Is there additional testing I should be getting… Is there hope… Really just wanting to hear anything and everything that might be helpful.

Thank you ❤️

Hi there! I had a MMC, I had an ultrasound at 8 weeks that showed no heartbeat and baby was measuring 6 weeks 3 days. We found out on April 30th. It was a long process and I eventually had a D&C on May 21st. I had what I believe was my period on June 23rd, though it was a bit odd; two days of spotting, two days of heavy bleeding, two days of spotting, two days of nothing, then two more days of spotting.

According to my tracking apps, I should have ovulated on July 6th (CD 14). Ive been taking ovulations tests since after I stopped bleeding. My numbers are as follows (indicating the highest per day but have been testing twice per day):

CD 7: 0.03
CD 8: 0.28
CD 9: 0.17
CD 10: 0.07
CD 11: 0.15
CD 12: 0.63
CD 13: 0.75 (in afternoon, then 0.6 in evening)
CD 14: 0.46
CD 15: 0.28
CD 16: 0.32

Premom doesn’t show a big surge, but on CD 13 I did have my highest numbers. The cycle that I did conceive, my surge lasted several days and was much higher (1.74 at its highest). I’m trying to figure out if I had a surge and ovulated, or if it’s still coming or maybe not coming at all. I did have some sticky CM during the past few days and also had cramping and intense back pain leading up to CD13 which is now gone. If anyone has any situations where their post-MC surge looked different, or had a similar situation to this, I would love to know. Thank you in advance!
