TTC after miscarriage thread #4

Praying for a miracle for both of you. You deserve it. We all do.

Yeah I hope your right. A quick recovery will be best for me mentally as well. It's difficult to compare with the 12 week miscarriage as that felt like a labour.

I'm still spotting, just when wiping (but not every time either) and it's old blood. Wearing my big nighttime always lol but hardly a stain. Apologies for tmi !

Keep us posted tomorrow, will be praying you get your miracle.

I think I'll settle into bed too, away from my phone, and watch tv or read a book.

I can dream.... is what I meant. My fingers are tired from ALL this googling!

cheeky you have been utterly remarkable so far so I am not surprising that you had a few cries. But you sound so strong and brave, and really hope you find comfort in life v soon. Are you still spotting? I had an ERPC at 10 weeks and I wished I'd hadn't had that, but I think at 5/6 weeks it will be a different story. You'll return to normal physically quicker than you expect I am sure....

My scan is 10.30am so we'll be in our respective hospitals at the same time.! I am absolutely sh*tting it. I can't seem to stop googling and trying to find out what has happened, but it is just wrapping me up in circles. I am going to watch Eastenders, MiC and then go to bed. Comfort television. PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE TOMORROW, know it is unlikely but I am dream.

What time is your scan tomorrow hopeful? Thinking and praying for you. I'll be going for bloods at 11. Not sure I'll get the results tomorrow. Need some definitive answers about how to manage this miscarriage. If I get offered ERPC I might take it. Although I think with HCG of 129 they won't be willing...

Came home to the booking and scan appt letters. Bitter sweet! Had a couple of cries this evening. Feeling fed up with life.

In both of my pregnancies, I got light spotting around 3-4 days before a positive pregnancy test. After it starts implanting (which gives the bleed I think) it takes a few days for the HCG to rise for a pg test to pick up... There is no way you could get IB and a positive so soon from what I understand...

GOOD LUCK.. and to everyone else who is testing soon

I'm still 'spotting' but it's more like an early light period (3 days early). Still hoping its implantation bleeding, but got a BFN this morning and I think it's too heavy.

Anyone got any experience with implantation bleeding? Can it be like a light period, and is it possible to get a BFN during implantation bleeding but a BFP a few days later? Wishful thinking I know!

That's great 5tar at least you know where you're at. Hope it is over before you know it!

Welcome jinglebel and sorry for your loss. I have found this thread very helpful and supportive since my mmc last month

After spotting, spotting and more spotting it's finally looking like the red tide might be coming at last

whatshername that's so great you get a scan at 8 weeks... So pleased you're doing well!

cheeky I'm so sorry you are going through this... Sounds like you have had a tough time before the MC too. Make sure you are kind to yourself and don't go to work if you feel you need to be at home.

jinglebelmel I'm really sorry for your loss and welcome... Lots of good luck TTC again.

The fall down the stairs wasn't too bad... I'm bruised but aside from that I'll live! Had an awful meeting with the head teacher today. Things are still ongoing from when they advertised part of my job. But hopefully I'll get a new job for September and I'm asking for more money I'm not normally like that but they have treated me so badly since the MC that I think I deserve it!

Praying my temps go up tomorrow... insufficiently keep us posted on Wednesdays test!!!

Hi all, so sorry for your losses. I've only read back a few pages but can see some are on going, really feel for you. I hope it's okay to join - I'm 13 days post medical miscarriage at 11 weeks and we have just started ttc again. No idea if/when I'll ovulate which is making me feel a bit lost with it all, but it feels right to get going with it ASAP.

The scan will be in three weeks when im 8 weeks. I'm very grateful. I'm lucky because most of my dealings with NHS services have been amazing. My miscarriage was the worst experience of my life though. I don't blame the NHS as a whole or the staff I saw because they were kind. But I was left to get on with it and scans were delayed because it happened at Christmas. I blame the government - the department was so understaffed at that time. I'm still grateful we have an NHS though. I just need to get through the next 21 days.

When I think of everything I've been through then it totally overwhelms me but I try to not to look at it like one big mess but rather in chunks. The cancer was separate and the miscarriages are separate.

Yes indeed the NHS is wonderful. Thanks girls. I feel ok but have had overwhelming moments of sadness. I've come to see my dad today who just got back from holiday. My heart just wasn't in work today. Left work on time and came straight over.

I think I'll feel better once the physical aspect of its over. It's hard to look forward otherwise.

And that is great news whatsername! When will they scan you? The NHS really is wonderful. x

Yes you are v brave cheeky. Hope work was ok?

I am sat at home today, in a bit of a mess really. I am petrified about what is round the corner. Scan tomorrow morning and then we should know.

xx

Cheeky you are doing amazingly well and I'm still hoping for good things for you. I hope you are OK. I spoke to the midwife today because I'm feeling very anxious. She has said that she will see me earlier than usual and arrange a reassurance scan which is really kind. Just got to keep my fingers crossed and hope now.

Lol! I love this thread.

Will need a course on temping when I'm done with this miscarriage. I don't think I can be bothered with OPKs though.

Ouch. Glad your dignity didn't take a bashing too.

Also... Just fell down a flight of stairs at work, grazed my knee and ripped my tights. thank goodness no students saw me!!!

Thanks Brenna & Amy I'll see how they go over the next few days.

Mrs temping has definitely been the best thing I've done! It's tough making sure I wake up at the same time especially sat and sun but it has given me an idea of my cycle especially after the MC as it's all screwed up. I suppose it does make me over analyse things but I'm hoping that IF this isn't our month I will at least know what happens at each stage of my cycle. It helped me know when I was ovulating which I had no idea about before!

Good luck insufficiently when will you test?? Fingers X

Well done for park run clarity I'm regretting my decision to not do it and eat a mountain of cheesy chips last night! Not the best for a fertility diet!!

cheeky thinking of you.

Thanks for all your responses - they are invaluable. Bertie i don't feel as worried now thanks!

Still no proper bleeding. Just upon wiping and it looks like old blood. Hope it doesn't drag and drag.

Looking forward to jumping back on the TTC wagon.
