    Hi,

    I am new to this website and to forums, I had a m/c and d & C early august (10 weeks). Firstly, could someone please tell me what all the AF, DPO - all the shortened words. I understood some, but not all.

    Secondly, we are trying again, I have noticed white thickish odourless mucous for the past 3-4 days. I am waiting for my period, I understand from previous posts, this can take a while. Is this normal, after a d/c, I have slight tingling in my nipples as well. I have done 2 preg test both came out negative - which I suppose means the preg hormones are no longer.

    Honestly, I think I am trying to make myself think I might be preg again. But, the chances I suppose are very unlikely.

    Anyone help?

    thanks

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Mumstar. Welcome to the TTCAML thread. It's good to come in here and be amongst people who understand what you're experiencing. It can be pretty confusing and hard. As Treelo said, there is a thread that explains all the acronyms we use: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ead.php?t=2055 It took me just over 8 weeks from my D&C for AF to return. Some are able to start TTC straight away, others need a cycle or more to build up the emotional and physical strength to go again. It can also depend on what you're advised. If it's your second or third m/c in a row, you've never had children and you're in your late 30s like me, then it's likely that you should have blood tests done to see if there's any reason for the m/c. Hope that helps. *Hugs*

    Beaksie, you're right! I think most of us must be in that waiting zone of the TTC cycle where it's a little bit boring! I've got another eight to ten days before I ovulate, I think. I've just started taking vitex again to see if that helps lengthen my luteal phase and improve my chances!

    Leila, that's good news that there's nothing to stop you from TTC as soon as you feel ready. The ob who did my D&C told me to *have another crack at it* when he checked on me before I went home. He was really lovely and quite funny.

    Hello to everyone else - I'll try to catch up properly after lunch!
