TTC after recurrent miscarriage - thread 3

Happy new year @strawberrye! All ok here thank you, I think it was just one of those weird things. I did a CB digital test yesterday and got 3+ weeks so I'm taking that as a good sign as I'm coming up to 6 weeks this weekend. I'm also going to call the midwife team and arrange my booking appointment today which feels like a huge step.
I hope the new year brings lots of positives for you xx

Happy new year everyone.

Thinking of you @norbert23.

How is everyone doing? We're not TTC at the moment as waiting for my thyroid to get back in range, next test at the end of the month then RMC on 6th Feb. Seems like time is really dragging but also trying to keep a positive frame of mind in the new year.

Thank you. All my tests came back fine too. I'd buy some aspirin if I were you. No harm in taking it too! Keep me posted on how you're getting on x

Thank you @Hopefulforourrainbow, all cramps have stopped and no bleeding so I'll keep my hopes up while I can. Great to hear your very lovely news, you were always so supportive I'm glad you're doing so well! No meds, all tests so far showed nothing important so just unlucky on my part! Taking a good vitamin though for fertility so fingers crossed! Xx

Hi @Norbert23 I didn't want to read and run. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I had awful cramps at the start this time round and I'm now almost 17 weeks. I also bled around 6-7 weeks. Are you on any meds? I'm on aspirin and was taking cyclogest until 13 weeks. I hope it works out for you x

Maybe I spoke too soon, awful cramps have started so I doubt it'll even matter now 😞 currently in bed hoping that it's just indigestion but pretty sure it's not.

So I am 5 weeks pregnant and trying to be calm and not think too much either way. Last m/c was at almost 6 weeks and the one before was at 10 weeks. EPAU have offered a reassurance scan but I can't decide if it'd be reassuring or not! I know that sounds strange but I'm aware of the fact that it could still go wrong even if I had a positive scan. Am I over thinking it???

It can help to regulate cycle. Someone else on this forum recommended taking it. She took it when she had her first baby and is now having a successful pregnancy after taking it again. I took 50mg per day from cd1 to bfp then started taking pregnacare plus which still has b6 in it. I'm now almost 14 weeks. Good luck!

@Hopefulforourrainbow ooh what does B6 do? Thinking I may pay for some private vitamin/thyroid antibody tests, maybe some hormone ones too. My mom has a b12 and vit d deficiency, sister and niece also have b12 issues x

Hey ladies hope you don't mind me butting in. I recommend taking vitamin b6. You can buy it online x

Thanks @strawberrye second loss was sept. Got negative test Oct 14th and didn't get AF until 23rd nov. After my first loss I had 26 day cycles with ov around cd14. Now on CD16. No sign of high fertility on clear blue, nor positive IC opks this morning either. Really starting to feel like I'm not meant to be a mom. It's just one kick in the gut after another.

How are you doing? Did you get your referal sorted? X

@Laney79 I'm sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish and that the OPKs are getting you down. It's always disappointing when what you thought would be perfectly timed BDing is thrown out by odd ovulation. Remind me when your most recent loss was? Could this be an anovulatory cycle? They are pretty common and I'm sure I've had a them especially in the cycle following a loss. Sending hugs x

How are you all? Been quiet on here.

I'm feeeling pretty rubbish. Was so hopeful after AF finally showed. Went away sun-tues (cd 10-12) and dtd a couple of times which should've been perfect timing based on my normal cycle length of 26 days ovulating around cd14...however here I am cd15, and my clearblue ovulation kit (the new connected one which is meant to show several high days as well as the peak of lh surge) is just showing low fertility. IC's also barely showing a hint of a line. So it looks like my useless carcass is continuing the theme of 2018 and screwing me over yet again.

It's so unfair. 

@moonpeace really sorry to hear you had such a fright yesterday, remember bleeding in early pregnancy is very common and doesn't automatically mean something is wrong, although I can totally understand why you are freaking out. Also they don't recommend continuing to take BBT when you are pregnant because it can fluctuate. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Oh @moonpeace I really hope it's not a bad sign. Did they do anything internal at your booking appt? Could something have irritated you? X

I'm so sorry @moonpeace it's so unfair. Sending a big hug and hoping that's it's not your worst fear xxx

I'm so sorry to read this @strawberrye. Sending lots of love and hugs. There aren't any Tommy's clinics near where I stay so I just went to local clinic. Have already decided that if this pregnancy doesn't go to plan we're going to go to a private clinic in London though. It would make sense to get the basic testing through the NHS.

Unfortunately my suspicions were correct and the test I did this morning was negative. Absolutely gutted.

Can I ask about referral to recurrent miscarriage clinic, did you decide to be referred to your local clinic or to the nearest Tommy's centre? How did you decide between them? I am in the north east so all of the Tommy's clinics are quite a distance from us.

Thank you @moonpeace for your reply, I can't really hold out much hope as it was the same type of test and FMU both times. I think my urine today looked more concentrated than that which I tested with on Monday. This is what happened with my first loss - progressively fainter lines then bleeding a couple of days later. With my track record I feel I don't have any hope anymore.

Hi ladies can I join you?

I'm 27, TTC #1 for 15 months. 2 early losses in January and April this year, both before 6 weeks, then went to GP last week about referral as we are getting desperate, then tested positive on Sunday. Monday did FRER which showed a faint, but present line. Tested again this morning on another FRER and the line is fainter, I'm meant to be 4+4. This is how my first loss went and I started bleeding the day the test turned negative. Feeling absolutely devastated and just waiting to start bleeding now.

Im sorry to hear about your mc.
I've never had this happen. I still have cramps on and off and its been 4 days. I've never had cramps this early before AF. And she always starts suddenly (heavy). I was pregnant last year but had no symptoms except for missed period unfortunately that ended in MC at 16 weeks. Been TTC since but no luck. At this point it's a waiting game. I took a test Wednesday but it came back negative. I have 1 more test but I figured I'd wait to see if AF doesnt show.
