TTC After a Loss

weird CM question (TMI warning)

ok, first off I have to say sorry for the TMI, and right now my DH and I are on the TTA bench, I had my miscarriage at 10 weeks 4 weeks ago.  So I am down to 0 HCG and charting and such, the bleeding from the natural MC stopped after 9 days, now I am at 28 days and the past 3 days I have had the craziest gross thick cervical mucus that is rosy pink tinged. 

This has never happened before, I called the OB and the office is closed so I talked to the resident on duty (no help whatsoever) has anyone else experienced this?  My DH and I are TTA so I know its not any PG symptoms, biut I am hoping that it is a sign of ovulation.  I am charting and trying to figure out whats going on in my body after the MC, but I don't seem to be having any of my usual cycle signals going on. Any experiences with this?

  • "thick" doesn't sound like an O sign to me, unfortunately. Sorry!

    I know, it stinks!  I can't figure out what it is.  I always have EWCM during ovulation, never anything like this.  My body doesn't do anything typical anymore after the MC

  • It's been 2 months since my loss, and if I've learned anything it's that you can throw normal out the window. It took me 7 weeks to get AF. Between getting off BC and getting PG my cycles had gotten pretty long. Well, I'm on cycle2 post loss and I seem to have O'd at cd20, for about a 34 day cycle.  I'm not complaining. Just saying your body doesn't necessarily act the same. I had a lot of random weird spotting in my first cycle. I think the best thing you can do is start charting. It helps take some of the guesswork out of this. Sorry I'm not much help. And sorry for your loss.

    Thanks for your response, I guess its driving me nuts cause I like to be in control and know whats going on and I don't have a clue what is going on with my body anymore!  I guess I will have to learn more about that whole patience being a virtue thing.

  • Mine was exactly like that last week.  Almost EWCM but not quite, only came out when I used the bathroom, and very pink/brown.  It started about 13 days after my D&C and lasted 4 days.  It's gone now - yippee!  I didn't call the clinic as I know bleeding can last for a while. 

    As for HCGs, I lost the baby at 6 weeks and will be 4 weeks post D&C on Tuesday.  My HCG level is still at 150.  My doctor is surprised it hasn't gone down more quickly so I'll be monitored to 0.

    BFP#4: 2.14.12 MMC: 3.8.12 D&C: 3.13.12 Loss due to Trisomy 16
    BFP#5: 6.11.12 MC: 6.28.12 Loss due to Triploidy
    RPL BW, Sonohystogram, Chromosome testing on DH and myself = everything is normal
    BFP#6: 12.4.12 EDD: 8.16.13
    Things I did different with this pregnancy:
    1. Waited TTC until after I had 3 normal menstrual cycles.
    2. Got a new OB - amazing man who listened!
    3. 200 mg progesterone until 12 weeks
    4. Daily lovenox injections
  • I had bloody-ish CM 2 weeks prior to my first AF post D&C and at my follow up appt. my doctor said I was probably ovulating.  It wasn't super thick, but definitely not EW.  It only lasted 2 days.  She didn't really explain why it was bloody now that i recall, but I guess thats good too that it wasn't cause for concern.
