TTC after Pregnancy Loss Thread 20 - Fx for 2019 babies

Thank you for the welcome and sorry for all of you ladies who find yourselves here x

checking in so I can find you tomorrow when finally have time to post properly, thanks for the new thread @dulwichdays, big love to all xx

@HidCat glad you are feeling more positive 👍
@Primrose16 and @Claire138 definitely stick around!! Hope you're both feeling ok. I had no symptoms with DS and he is perfect if it helps! Glad you had a nice weekend away @Claire
@DaisyMay25, @BabynameEdie, @zarala and @FireworksBaby I use a cream called fisiocrem. It's a bit expensive but lasts a long time and I find it really helps my back. That's interesting @zarala thankyou!! Will make sure I increase the ginger!
@DaisyMay25 perhaps try meditation? We've started doing it at work a bit and I find it so relaxing. Also yoga or Pilates, long walks, or any exercise really. I've found when I've gone to the gym lately I don't think about ttc and feel great afterwards! I still obsess in the tww so will have to remind myself of this too!!
@Lotty515, @Lilimum4 and @Ohmeohmy123 welcome and I'm so sorry for your losses. This is a lovely group and remember to be kind to yourselves and take as much time as you need.
@tefiti2 ooh so exciting!!! Was just telling DH I wish we could have another wedding. Enjoy every minute!!
@OntoTheThird I was thinking of you today too. How'd the scan go?

@DaisyMay25 I'm not totally sure but my Flo app reckons 12dpo. But I realised today that if I ignore that and go by symptoms that usually show me I'm ovulating, I'm only 10dpo. My evening tests seem better than fmu ones too. So confusing!
@OntoTheThird I hope your scan went ok today, I was thinking of you
@hidcat I'm glad you're feeling so positive

Hi everyone. Wondering if I can join please? I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. I've a little girl who is almost two. I had a little girl before her but she was born too soon. Since ttc my next I've had a couple of chemical pregnancies, an ectopic pregnancy and a mmc. My mind and body are reeling from everything that's happened in such a short space of time but I really really want to keep moving forward and try to keep believing.

@hayleyfx thank you very much they totally make sense now.

Hey ladies just checking in on the new thread.

@Lilimum welcome! So sorry for your loss.
Oh all the lingo confused me at first too 🤣 here’s a few:
TTC - trying to conceive
TWW - two week wait
BFP - big fat positive
BFN - big fat negative
FW - fertile week
EWCM - egg white cervical mucus
HPT - home pregnancy test
OPK - ovulation predictor kit
POAS - pee on a stick
BD - baby dance
CD - cycle day
DPO - days past ovulation
I might have missed a few but that’s probably enough for you to take in right now haha!!

Can someone tell me what tww fw stand for I'm a bit new to all this sorry if I sound silly

@Cakelaur Yeah I think I’m going to get the boots one. It’s a bit cheaper too, preseed costs a small fortune 😳😂
@rdm10 haha!! Gotta do what you gotta do! 🤣
@Claire138 thank you! Hopefully this cycle is far less confusing than the last haha. I hope you’re doing okay and staying positive!! FX for h&h pregnancies for all! Same goes for you @Primrose hope everything is going well!
@Tefiti wow wedding in 4 weeks! You must be so excited hope you have a lovely day!!

@DaisyMay25 thank you

@zarala thanks for the info, sounds v sensible to me! I love ginger in hot water so will up my intake of that. Apparently fresh turmeric in hot water is also full of wonderful qualities.

Hi @Tefiti2 congrats on your upcoming wedding! 🍷☀️👏 how exciting for you. This is a fab place, full of wonderful women and we're regularly referred to as penguins huddling around each other offering warmth and support 🐧🐧

@Lilimum4 feel free to talk about it as much as you want here!
@Tefiti2 how exciting! I hope you have a magical day! Fx for a honeymoon baby!!

Hello ladies
Do you mind if I join your group. I'm TTC #3
After mmc in march. First cycle in after medical management which seemed to take forever and I'm doing everyone's head in talking about it.

Hi everyone! Have been lurking as not actively trying atm - getting married in 4 weeks! So pleased for all the BFPs, rooting for the rest of us to get our happy endings :-) for some reason not able to copy and paste on the app, so if a kind person could paste me into the roll call I’d be greatful!

Tefiti2 - 24, TTC#2 (after 2 consecutive early mcs)

@zarala interesting, thanks for the info. I hate ginger but I could probably make myself drink some herbal tea with it in?
It's so hard not to stress out though, I'm going to try my best this month. Anyone got any tips for staying mellow?

@dulwichdays Thanks for the new thread!

@Claire138 & @Primrose16 in my last pregnancy the consultant told me that a lack of pregnancy symptoms is not something to worry about and lots of women don't get them- and he said especially if it's not the first pregnancy- so I found that to be really reassuring!

@Boboelephant @BabynameEdie @DaisyMay25 @FireworksBaby
I have been seeing a Chinese herbalist since my 3rd consecutive MC in March and she asked me how long my lower back had been hurting (even tho I hadn't mentioned it at all)- and she basically explained that in Chinese medicine for fertility health the kidney plays a major role- and the back pain is due to something to do with the kidneys! Not really sure what the solution is but she says stress is a major factor and that I need to chill and eat lots of ginger...
Anyway just thought I'd share!

👍🏼

Hi @Lotty515 and welcome. Sorry you've had a rough time of things, I'm sure your BFP is just around the corner.

@Claire138 oh bless you. It’s bloody hard isn’t it. I’m not very positive again, I’m trying to relax. I’m getting nothing symptom wise. But I’m only coming up 6 weeks so I will tell myself that it’s still early days

Hi ladies do you mind if I join your group. I have a daughter Georgina who is nearly
2 1/2 and have been TTC #2 since a MMC in October last year. Have had ups and downs and found various groups on mumsnet to be massively helpful. I don't always post that much but always read updates and am happy to hear good news and try and support from the wider web! 😁

Going to attempt the c&p to add myself - if I lose anyone I blame my phone, but hope it'll work!

@BabyNameEdie @Boboelephant @zarala and @DaisyMay25 I am also much more aware of every twinge, back, front and sides, but mainly sore back. I don't think I've even ov'd yet this month, but still convincing myself it's a sign and must be pregnancy symptoms!

Evening all, checking in. Hope you’re all doing ok. I’ve been feeling sooooo frustrated today - no sign of af so still stuck in this horrible limbo argh! Trying to channel positive vibes though!!!

Hopping over!
