TTC after miscarriage thread #4

Happy wedding anniversaries Amy and Brenna enjoy the celebrations. I've been to the old course hotel once brenna it's very luxurious isn't it?

Amy agree temp fluctuations could be weather related. Also wondered if a late night might have knocked mine down. So many variables can affect temps that it's probably only the overall pattern that means much I suppose.

cheeky glad you'll have some answers soon, are they ringing you later with results? They've done that for me, and I found it helped to be put out of the uncertainty quickly, though I did kinda know both times before that. Thinking of you x

Thanks girls. They took bloods but weren't very hopeful. I'll keep you posted. Xx

Thinking of you cheeky

JPEG & lucky my temp went up to 36.5 again yesterday but has dipped to 36.32 this morning again. No cramps or any sign of af yet. My temps are really erratic and are normally a lot higher than they are as well. I'm putting it down to the fact the weather can't make its mind up if it wants to be hot or cold!

Brenna sounds like you're going to have a lovely time but I agree the spot can bugger off! It was my wedding anniversary yesterday, we didn't do anything as I had to work but we are going out on Tuesday when DH gets home from work to celebrate. We've been married for 5 years but together for 15. The years fly by.

lucky I had a temp dip this morning and I'm only 6dpo. Down to 36.49. My temps are really erratic! Hopefully af isn't coming early!

Oh no Cheeky. I am so sorry. Life is really shit sometimes, isn't it?

Amy you can keep them. I really don't want any spots. Especially not this week. It is our wedding anniversary on tuesday and we are out to dinner, then we are staying at the old course hotel in st andrews next weekend. I never go posh places.

Amy I'm joining you with the 9dpo temp dip today to 36.5. Don't know what it means, I've not had a dip at 9dpo before, usually my temps are higher than this at 9dpo regardless of pregnancy status. I'm also crampy. Hoping it doesn't mean AF is coming tomorrow as that would give me a shorter luteal phase when it was 12 days last cycle and temp dips do tend to mean AF next day for me. Just have to wait and see I suppose. How are your temps now?

cheeky let us know how you get on at the EPU I'll check back later xx

I'm so so sorry Cheeky. I hope the EPU see you quickly. Sending hugs

Bless you all thanks. Going to phone the EPU in the morning and see what they say.

Oh Cheeky I'm so sorry. How are you feeling? xx

Oh so sorry cheeky

Cheeky so sorry to hear, have everything crossed for you xx

Think it's another miscarriage for me ladies so I'll be joining you again...

Brenna we seem to be having skin breakouts together! I never get spots either. They're really painful too. I'm 10dpo according to FF and had cramps 9dpo like you but they've gone off today. I was sure af was going to some as I had a massive temp dip yesterday too.

Great to hear things are going well Grapefruit. Not so great about the nausea, hopefully it doesn't hang around that long.

So sorry about your bf's job jodie. The instability in teh job market at the moment is just awful. My Mum doesn't understand how hard things are now compared to when she and Dad were in work.

Well done on the walk jpeg.

9dpo here. The sore boobs have gone and been replaced by quite a crop of spots. I never get spots. I am not amused. I have a bit of cramping already as well. AF not due until friday.

So good to hear you're doing well grapefruit... I hope the nausea doesn't hang around too long!

Sorry about your bfs job jodie... I'm sure a few drinks won't make any difference.

I ended up having a 6 mile walk instead of the run. Topped off with some retail therapy too. 5dpo and feel like this is the longest two weeks of my life!

Thanks grapefruit, that's lovely and reassuring, glad all going well for you!
I was really going to try and not drink this month but then my bf got made redundant yesterday so went out for a drink with him last night....got to carry on living!
Happy thoughts to you all...hope the nausea passes soon grapefruit x

Afternoon all! Hope you're all feeling okay. I know how easy it is to get disheartened- i miscarried in October same time as brenna and then November December January February all passed with nothing. I was getting obsessive over whether I shouldn't or shouldn't be drinking, the whole thing was dragging me down. But just keep the faith, it can happen and it WILL happen. I am almost 10 weeks, got my first appointment with the midwife on Tuesday. I have felt so so different with this pregnancy. Ive been so so nauseas, the tiredness has been overwhelming and I've vomited on more than one occasion (outside aldi last weekend- not a particular highlight although a lovely lady did come to help) Just wanted to send you all some love, it's happened for me, I know it will happen for you.

Hi all hope you're all ok...

JPEG Do what you feel comfortable with.

Good luck to all those with referrals and appointments with consultants.

I had a temp dip yesterday at 9dpo and a rise again this morning. Had a few cramps which have now gone off. I was sure last night I'd wake up to af but nothing. Not even a slight cramp.
Don't think it's implantation either. I'm not getting my hopes up at all. Due on in 2-5 days,

Don't do it if you don't feel like it jpeg. A walk is just as good for you.

DDog has had some of his pills this morning, finally. Hopefully he starts to feel better soon.

Jpeg the most important thing is that you listen to your body. If you won't be comfortable doing the park run then don't. Have a great day anyway and be kind to yourself.

I know it's silly but I don't think I'm going to not do park run. I know it is probably going to make no difference but I think I'm going to go for a long walk instead.
If this month doesn't happen I'm not putting my life on hold anymore!!

Thanks what's. I was kind of thinking that a couple of beers shouldn't have an impact.
I know there is loads of Internet chat about this kind of thing but there is a part of me that believes that if it is my time then it will happen. I have known people who didn't realise until very late (14 weeks) and she had carried on as normal and had a perfectly healthy baby (not suggesting that i will do that don't worry) just I think they are stronger then we think.
It is difficult though as all of it, caffeine, cheese, wine etc gives you something to focus on as the bad guy, when fundamentally it was just biology and it just didn't work......
So this week would have been my scan, so far only one Facebook announcement, due three days before I would have been, I think perhaps I have gotten off lightly?

Miami I abstained completely when we first started trying again after my mmc. After several months of constant disappointment I decided to stop putting my life on hold. I went out a week ago yesterday and drank 3 cointreau, lime and lemonades and a large glass of wine and soda. I got my bfp on Thursday. I spoke to my midwife and she told me not to worry at all because, at this point, the baby doesn't get anything from me. I think you can go ahead and drink the beer. I think relaxing a bit last month helped me. I'm grateful for gcse coursework deadlines and final exams because I stressed over that instead.
