TW: mention of chem/early MC

So, trying for baby number two. Over the Easter bank holiday, I had a chemical/early miscarriage. Tried again this cycle and I just don't know what to make of it, it is like my body is taking the p***!

Background: on average, my cycles are 50 days long. Have been known to reach 66 days. Bleeding from MC ended on the 6th April.

27th April: fertile window begins according to apps, sore boobs agree with apps
29th & 30th April: flashing smiley face on Clearblue OPK, sex both dates, started spotting (thought ovulation bleeding), sore boobs continue
1st May: static smiley face on CB OPK, had sex again, spotting continued as did sore boobs
2nd May: predicted date of ovulation based on OPK, spotting continued, sore boobs
3rd, 4th, 5th: spotting turned into a light to medium flow, with tiny clots, sore boobs gone, by end of evening, flow returned to spotting
6th April: light flow returned in the morning

Had lots of CM over the past week. AF predicted for the 16th. Apps fairly accurate previously, no other highs or peaks dectected on OPKs (started testing CD7). I just don't know if I am having a very early period (CD33), a very weird ovulation bleed, or what. Everything I know about ovulation bleeding tells me this isn't it. But it doesn't feel like a period either, as usually my boobs are incredibly sore, I cramp badly, get a dicky tummy, and nausea.

Can I get a new body please?

I'm sorry, but what does that mean? I have looked at the acronym list, so quoted for posterity etc, but I haven't found anything in the guidelines that explains what that means yet, unless I missed it! Apologies! Thank you for your time.

@csbeck15 hello! We all love to help each other in this board however out of order and decorum there’s is a way to go about it 😊 please start out by introducing yourself in the newbie thread this week and reading the pinned posts. That will definitely help you out. We’re a pretty organized community. It really helps us get to know each other and for everyone to learn together.

ETA- I tagged you in the newbie thread

@csbeck15. Hi! I think this is probably not really the board you are looking for. We don't really do these "help! am I pregnant??"- or "help! what is going on with my body?" posts. We all know each other, so when someone comes in with a post like this it's like if you were at a party and someone ran in like "GUYS WHY IS MY CERVICAL MUCUS LOOKING WEIRD???" you would be like "woah, slow your roll. Maybe introduce yourself first?"

I know things can be really anxiety-producing and it's easy to impatient when TTC, but really, wait a week or two, if you don't get a period, take a pregnancy test. It's really that simple. I know it's hard to wait! But you are an adult, you can do it. And if you want the opinion of randos on the internet you will never see again there are lots of boards for that! It's just not this one.

That being said, TTC especially with long cycles (I'm guessing PCOS?) can be a challenge, and if you want to join a community with regular contributors and get to know people (sort of more like a support group than a message board), you are very welcome to join! It's easy to get more advice that way as you go along because people get to know you, etc. If you want to join-- introduce yourself and read more of the posts and threads to get a sense of how we do things. This would prob go in the "chart stalk" thread or the "opk" thread.

Good luck!

@csbeck15 That's right. Quoted for Posterity. Beyond that, I'm not really sure what to tell you. Bodies are weird. You can always call your provider if you're not sure what's going on, maybe they can draw labs or give you a scan or something to see what it could be. GL!

@csbeck15 Agreed with the PP above. However, if you O'd April 29/30, then you're only a week out from that and it's too early to either get AF or a BFP. Or if you get AF this close to O, then you really need to talk to a doctor about short luteal phases.

As @BusinessWife said, bodies are weird. And if you just had a CP/MC, bodies are even weirder and can take a while to regulate out after that, with all kinds of weird symptoms you'd never felt before. I recommend reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and doing basal body temperature charting. I had cycles that went anywhere from 28-59 days and temping may be the only way to know if you're actually O'ing or not. They also help figure out what your body is doing post-MC.

Also, as others said, would be great if you introduced yourself in the newbie thread and started joining in our regular posts!

Y'all are way better than I am...

I think @stormageddon-darklordofall. and I are suckers for the TTCAL-ers.

stormageddon-darklordofall · May 2021

@bumblebee0210 Tis true. I haz a soft spot for lost/confused TTCAL-ers. On the flip side, the "I been trying for 2 whole months and it's been SOoooo long and is this [very obviously dark] line a BFP!?!? I'm just really upset that attempt for baby #5 is taking SOoooo long at this point!!!!" get me enraged to the point of TBGs red flagging me constantly.....

@stormageddon-darklordofall I can't believe you found a gif with word "decorum" Resourceful. I'm for your struggles girl. Don't know what else to say... TEW focused all of her NIAW videocasts on miscarriage... in case you want to check it out. I watched one of them yesterday and it was a bit fluffy, but hoping others will be a bit better.

@BusinessWife loving your The Good Place gif; MH and I are currently finishing up the show. Soooooo good.
