Hi guys.. I am Nicky I am new here but I have been lurking a lot and I want to join you guys.. We just had our second loss, I had to have a dnc on Tuesday due to a blighted ovum.

We will be ttc right away, our doctor said that was fine so I am sure I will be posting opk's and hpt's here often and joining members in the 2ww. I am not sure when to exactly expect to ovulate, I hear it could be in about 14 days.. I am currently still getting a faint positive on the hpt so I know the hcg is still in my system.

I am trying to stay positive and healthy and determined to conceive again!

aw im sorry! that really stinks you needed a D&C... how long did they wait before determining that? the baby stopped growing (basing off HCG levels) the 24th and i didn't actually miscarry until nearly a week later on the 30th.. it all cleared on it's own thankfully.. but im curious how long they gave for your body to do it's thing naturally before doing the D&C

anyways.. while im sad you miscarried as well.. im also happy you are getting back into the game and we can do this journey together! (well... by your side anyway LOL)... if you ever need to chat, you know where to find me!

Thanks Natasha! Well, my gestational sac was growing but barely.. from my last lmp I was 8w 4 d and there was no fetal pole or yolk sac.. My numbers had not even doubled in 6 days. I was given the option to wait and miscarry on my own, or to go ahead and do the dnc. I just couldnt wait for the mc to happen on its own as it could have taken weeks, and waiting every day for the cramping/bleeding to start was emotionally killing me. I opted to have the dnc after he diagnosed having the blighted ovum after 3 u/s.

I feel okay right now, I needed that to be over so I can now focus on my journey to conceive and I am excited at the prospect of ovulating and testing again.. I know it may take a while, but I feel I have closure now and I can move on.

btw, the baby stopped growing around 5 weeks for me.. so even 3 weeks later my body had not recognized it. So here is to us both and all you other ladies in here hoping for a bfp.. to us all, I wish us luck and healthy pregnancies!!

Again I know a lot of you from lurking!!

Sorry to hear about your loss I had this happen to me about 4 years ago, It took a month for me because our doctors advised us to wait which I was against, but after D&C I didnt bleed for about 14 days they did a really good job. So what I remember about that cycle was just having to wait till the next month and began again. Gl I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you this cycle keep us posted

Well so far I have had no bleeding at all.. just a teeny bit of spotting when I wipe, but not enough to even wear a pad.. so hopefully it all went well and we can be on the road to ttc again!
