TTC After MC 12: Hopeful Twats and Emotional Wrecks welcome!

Congratulations em!!! What lovely news.
yellow I'm not sure of the answer to that one sorry!
Speaking of vitamins has anyone seen the news this morning?? There's been a breakthrough discovery about niacin and that it can cure molecular deficiencies that stop babies developing properly in a he womb. I'm keeping my eye on this as it's fresh news but apparently it's potentially going to reduce the numbers of miscarriages. Can't see anything about dosage yet either.

Silly question klaxon!

I've stupidly miscalculated how many 5mg folic acid tablets I have left; and will be a few days short before I can pick up my repeat script.
I've got some 400mcg tabs but how should I take to get close to 5mg? And can I do this?! I read that excess folic acid is urinated out so no overdose worries?
Why didn't I sort the repeat out sooner?! So silly!!!

Ahh emvy what wonderful news! And lovely scan news too, smurf.

halloumi, meant to say a couple of pages ago - the RMC at Coventry considers recurrent miscarriage to be two in a row. You can be referred there from anywhere in the country and your GP will be able to do that. Might be worth a punt because you'll at least get your bloods done? You'll see Dr. Quenby or Dr. Browns and they are both very good x

Eek congrats emvy and good news smurf! Hope we get some good news from lime tomorrow too!
stuck your DM sounds just like mine. So frustrating when it's not her news to share! Hope crying it out has helped you get over it all.

Oh really stuck?! Maybe it is that then! I really hope it's that and the spotting after dtd isn't anything worrying. I have slightly darker coloured cm now but seems to be easing gradually so fingers crossed tomorrow it'll be completely gone and won't happen again. I find evening and overnight the hardest, I can feel the worries creeping in, ergh!

Emvy I was told it is exceptionally common if on the pill...

But it is not sinister, would not impact pregnancy and is annoying. do not want to worry you!

Congratulations emvy that's great news!
Congrats on the positive scan smurf!

Stuck* that's really annoying. My MIL was the same;telling people when we asked her not too. You've every right to be furious!

Aww, bit late to the party but congrats, emvy, that is absolutely brilliant news.

And so glad to hear your scan went well, smurf. Smiles all round x

Interesting stuck, thanks for the heads up on that. I did used to get occasional spotting mid cycle when on the pill. Once I came off, I naively didn't think I needed to track my cycle so I can't say for sure if it continued. Since ttc I've either been pregnant or miscarrying so had spotting here and there regularly! I also get lots of spotting pre and post af, would it cause that too or not really?

Smurf totally missed your post! Congratulations on your scan! Today, you are pregnant

Em it is just a touch of extra cells that slough off after sex or mid cycle at the opening of your cervix. They found mine before I was pregnant as I kept spotting - thinking speculum and headlights on a gp ... a gyny then used silver nitrate to remove. Not harmful just annoying. But can't do much if pregnant. Sometimes
Progesterone makes it worse....

Congratulations em! That's a nice positive line :) fingers crossed this one works for you!

And thanks also em! Missed your post sorry x

Thanks everyone. Trying to remain positive and try not to think about it too much.

Great news on your positive scan smurf! Small steps and little positives to cling on to I can't get an early scan with EPU I don't think. With my last miscarriage they were reluctant to scan and only did so in the end because I had hip pain! So I highly doubt I'll get a reassurance scan. OH and I discussed it last time and he eventually agreed to one between 8 and 10 weeks privately, which we never made it to. And this time around, I'm not so sure whether I want any false hope if I see a heartbeat and then it stops. I'll probably change my mind tomorrow...!

Stuck, you mentioned cervical ectropian. Never heard of this! What is it and how can I get it investigated? Also, not unreasonable at all to be annoyed - have you spoken to her about how upset your are? It's a shame when people take things into their own hands! As if you don't feel out of control enough as it is!

Thanks for the compliment my nails yellow 💁🏼 Nice gels are a fave of mine

emvy congratulations. I hope it's a super-sticky one. Today, you are pregnant. (and I agree with yellow about your nails)

smurf that also sounds excellent. Again, today, you are pregnant.

Emvy congratulations, I'll be keeping it all crossed for you.

Also your nails look lovely slight derail!

Stuck ugh. Sometimes people mothers! cant help themselves. on your behalf.

Emvy congratulations on the positive tests I've got all my fingers crossed for you that this is a sticky one 🙂 can you get an epu appointment for an early scan?
Lime good luck for tomorrow!!
I had a scan on Monday.. Heartbeat and measuring 7+3 and doc said as far as he could see it all looked good and as it should so doing my best to stay calm and honestly just not think too much...
Im working with special needs pre school kids this week on a summer scheme and as much as I love them I'm incredibly cautious as they just throw themselves on top of me at times/ hit, kick and throw things.. they mean no harm (most of them) but I find myself truly knackered by the end of the day!!

I know think she is tempting fate. I normally have the erpc at 10weeks or 11... so until I get pass that? Grrr. Anxiety is also sky rocketing as was put on steroids which make me shake like a junky.

@Stuckinstressville I don't think that's an unreasonable thing to be annoyed about at all. I would be furious too. If you wanted to tell people early, I'd completely understand (I think we might tell people straight next time(assuming there is a next time), just so that if we do miscarry again at least people are aware). But as it is, if you decided not to tell people and someone took matters into their own hands and blabbed, I think you've every right to be furious.

@emvy - almost impossible, I know, but try to stay as calm and positive as you can. It is completely possible that all is well in there! I don't know if positive thinking really helps at all, but I can't help but feel it just might...and it certainly can't hurt!

@yellowfrontdoor - definitely understand your feelings. I had to admit to my OH that I almost find myself physically recoiling from pregnant women because it hurts so much...and yet also hate the idea that my best chum might well be pregnant now and not telling me. 😕

I lost twins last time and just half of them this time... still processing it but it is mind fucking to even think about it.

Today I am mad as a mad person as dm told my grandad the news ... I wanted to wait and tell him myself. He is thrilled but I feel so hurt she did it. She is so selfish sometimes. Basically divorcing at the moment and wanted to share some happy news ( divorce has been 2 years so far) I asked her or to tell anyone too. So never even considered how I am feeling so anxious and want the 12 week scan and to tell him. Agh. Actually spent hours crying today over it- I barely cried with my
Mc so crying is not something I do.

Rant over but wow I am furious!

I'm doing ok apart from my expensive testing habit... yes the lines still there. I don't know why I do it to myself. I know a strong line or 500 positive tests doesn't equal a baby all the time. I'm so silly!

Counting down the minutes til tomorrow 3pm!

Oh god sorry in my excitement ... meant emvy... lime hugs regardless.

Lime - wow!!! Congratulations .... get to epu as soon as you need ? Can you walk in where you are?
