TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

@SerenaOverjoyed I think it's okay if you're just having a couple. I'm on holiday and I've been driving myself mad with worry that I could be pregnant (even though we didn't actively try this month). I have been drinking but just one or two drinks. Thinking about it though, some people are unaware they're pregnant for months and continue drinking and everything works out okay. I'm sure a few drinks will be fine!

My period is due today so I tested this morning and got a BFN. Going to get very drunk tonight now - I knew it was just my paranoia this month!

Serena drink til it's pink!

Can I ask an opinion?

Tomorrow we're visiting old friends for the weekend, and they're the sort of friends who we see twice a year (distance) and stay up to the early hours catching up and drinking too much wine. Am I right in thinking it's reasonable to drink, providing I'm still getting bfns? I won't get drunk but a few glasses would be nice

Boboelephant Thanks for the solidarity. How are you feeling in your new cycle?

YellowDaffodils86 Totally agree I'd rather AF than another failing pregnancy. I still feel really fragile emotionally after miscarrying in April and don't know how I'll respond to another one. It's really shit. In a weird way it's containing to know someone else is with me in limbo!

L1zz13 How are you feeling today? Sounds like you had a scary evening x

Wellthisisunexpected I'm uncertain what I see, but I think usually when we think we see a line there's a line, providing it came up in reasonable time. A BFN is unmistakeable. Good luck retesting

@Wellthisunexpected good luck!

There's definitely something there this morning so I'm off to buy a frer. If that's negative then I'll give blood.

@Wellthisunexpected ah well then if you think you can see a line I'd skip it. You can always donate again in a week or so if you are not and if you are then at least you've been safe.

@Wellthisunexpected i have missed two donations due to being pregnant/post mc or tww. Its a pain but couldnt do even if if i wanted.

Bobo one of those vials for a blood test collects between 3-10ml of blood so you'd need to give 100 full of them to be anywhere near a blood donation

@Cleozeta it definitely is, I’m so sad that all of us had to go through this but so thankful of the support!
@KnitKitty I hope you’re having a good, relaxing night then!
@Cakelaur aww he’s so big now! Gorgeous pup 😍 I have everything crossed for you that Friday goes well hun!! 🤞
@L1zz13 I’m glad you’re feeling better, it’s scary when something like that happens! Definitely insist on a scan and fingers crossed it’s all over for you 🤞
@Wellthisisunexpected hmm that’s a tricky one, I’m really not sure. Can you retest in the morning? Fingers crossed it’s the start of something 🤞

@Wellthisunexpected yeah that does make sense but I was thinking about how last time I was pregnant at my midwife apt at 8 weeks I had to give heaps of blood and that wasn't a problem. Maybe test in the morning and then make a decision.

Bobo it's one of the questions they ask and they don't let you if you are.

I expect you'd be more likely to faint and more likely to be anemic too so you need all your blood!

@Wellthisunexpected I'm not sure. I can't see anything in the first one but possibly something in the second. I hope it is a line for you! Just checking what is the problem with giving blood if you are pregnant?
@L1zz13 ibuprofen and gin sounds just what you needed! Defo try and get a scan to make sure you have the all clear.

@Wellthisunexpected I can see a hint of something there. Can you at again in the morning to be in the safe side?

Oh Lizzie fingers crossed for you.

Blood clots can be large and fleshy, so please try not to worry. I know that's easier said than done.

@L1zz13 hope you're ok babe. Defo contact Gp in the morning. If it gets worse or painful maybe head to a&e

@Boboelephant dunno why only til 5dpo. That's just what I heard. So that's what I did.

Thanks for the new thread.

What do you think of these ladies? I'm only 10dpo but giving blood tomorrow, it's the only reason I've tested.

@sweetpea0318 yep I felt the same way. Good to do something relaxing but also feel like I'm doing something productive.
@Cakelaur thanks hun! Oh look how big Teddy has gotten. He's gorgeous. I cannot believe you are over 10 weeks already. 😀 Good luck for Friday. Any reason you stopped the pineapple core at 5dpo?
@SerenaOverjoyed and @YellowDaffodils86 I hope this ends in good news for you both.

@L1zz13 that's really scary but it sounds like your body is finally doing what it has been trying to do and letting go. Call 111 if you're worried but hopefully this is your closure.

@L1zz13 I am so so sorry, I mistook you for someone else, please forgive me!! In light of that I echo what everyone else has said, it's likely to be old tissue.
Sorry lovely! X

@L1zz13 presumably you didn't get open access after MC over there? I wouldn't worry too much unless there was more but would probably call gp tomorrow?
so have "resorted" to dtd even though I have no idea when I'm going to ovulate if at all.

Thanks everyone.

@L1zz13 i suspect its some left over tissue. Af is probably clearing your system out. Is your hcg still up? I bet it drops after this af. Scary as it is i would try not to worry.

@L1zz13 it's 111, I'd suggest giving them a call

@L1zz13 can you call 111? Or maybe 101, I never remember which. But they can get you an emergency appointment with an out of hours gp
