Unfortunately we lost our first BFP on Monday at 6 weeks after a FET. I am feeling pretty awful about it but keen to get going again as soon as we can.
What are the usual timescales? Does this count as a period? I would like to try a natural cycle this time so believe I have to have a blood test to confirm I ovulate?
Any advice from anyone who has gone through this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
G
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I can only imagine how devastating it must be to have that BFP and lose it. I’m sorry I can’t advise how soon you can start again, I’m sure the other ladies here will but I wanted to offer thoughts and hugs x
I’m really sorry you are going through this. It may take a couple of weeks for your hcg levels to return to normal, then you would have a period and probably be able to start again after that one if you felt ready to. It may take a little longer to come than usual as sometimes ovulation can be a bit delayed after a miscarriage. Xx
So sorry for your loss, its just the toughest thing especially after IVF I think it makes it harder.
My clinic told me you need to have one period after your MC bleed for FET and 3 for a fresh cycle.. but I do think this varies between clinics. The fresh is longer because it takes a while for your body to create good eggs again (as it stops doing so when pregnant).
I know after my first MC all I could focus on was to get going again, it was the right thing to do mentally. Some people will tell you to take a break but go with your gut, I felt it was all I could do to feel I was being proactive. Masses of luck for your next cycle x
Sorry about your loss. I miscarried at 6w+5, and I did not have any embryo frozen, so we went for a fresh cycle. The doctor wanted me to wait for a period after the miscarriage (it may arrive anytime between four to six weeks after a negative pregnancy test, so it may be a long wait), but we ended up waiting one month more to enjoy a glimpse of normal life. Sending hugs xxx
Hi Gmhshop. So sorry to hear this, and I do hope you have plenty of support around you just now. Your next bleed will be a natural period, so usually the one after that you should be good to go. I'm so pleased you are looking forward with all of this, and obviously I wish you both well next time. Diane
Hi, Im so sorry to hear your news. This happened to us on our last BFP at 6weeks. I was advised to wait to try to let my body get back to normal and could start again on my 3rd bleed after my miscarriage. I tested for ovulation afterwards just usign OPK sticks which can be cheaply bought on amazon. You may or may not ovulate this cycle though, not everyone goes back to normal straight away and it will take time for you hCG levels to drop too. Sending massive hugs.xx
So sorry to hear this, sending you love and a massive hug. It’s an awful time 💔
My clinic wanted us to wait and have a few clear periods after the mc before another fresh cycle, but I pushed to go again slightly sooner as they didn’t really have anything to base this on and I knew I would have found the waiting more difficult, but that’s a personal/ individual choice.
Lots of luck for your next cycle ☘️💖 xx
I’m so sorry about your loss. It’s just awful. I had to wait for a period after my miscarriage before going again, infact I had to wait a couple of cycles x
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss,I know how devastating it can be, my clinic advised that I waited 3 months before going through another transfer.
Hi hun,
Last month I lost my tiny on the 7th week after bfp so I understand you perfectly well. I know how hard it is but I also know that if we stop we won't feel better as we will feel an emptiness inside. You should gather all your strength and keep moving ahead. At least you will know that you did everything you could! I have no chances to conceive naturally and carry a baby by myself due to the health issues and that is why I decided to proceed with one of the surrogacy programs abroad hoping it will work out. Don't lose your hope dear!
