TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 27 - BFPs are coming!

So generally it went well, we saw a tiny heartbeat!! They said I measure 5wks 3d though which has worried me. I got a strong line on a FRER 20 days ago, so even in the unlikely case I got a strong line at 8dpo this should put me at 6wks by now I'm not as relieved as I'd hoped to be.

This is the furthest we've got. I'm trying to enjoy being a little family for what it is now, because worrying will cheat me out of enjoying this pregnancy while it lasts. I still can't believe I might get a happy ending.

Oh Justincase87 I'm sorry. Epu sound so unhelpful . It could be harmless bleeding, this seems to happen alot on these boards. Are you in pain? I hope you're taking a deserved sickie and getting a bit of spoiling to pass the time to Friday. Everything is crossed for you! Xx

Boboelephant It's good to hear from you! How are things your end?

Hi penguins, just checking in too. I haven't posted for the past month but I think I can claim the crown for old cheese on the thread- been here since thread 15- officially a whole year.

Age 36
TTC #2 for over 2 years
Ectopic pregnancy rupture Nov '16
MMC Dec '17
And not a sniff of a bfp since.

I've found the thread a bit hard to keep up with as time has gone on as I am now much more focused on secondary infertility but I didn't want to drop off entirely. I am still hoping for happy endings for you all.

@Yukka, @rdm10 and @hayleyfx congratulations!!! I'm so happy to see bfps for you. Here's to uneventful pregnancies for you all.
@Meghan07 and @Justincase87 I hope it is happy outcomes for you both.
@Russkispy and @TinyPaws fx crossed for your IVF cycles!! How are you both feeling?
@KnitKitty so glad you have an appt. I hope it gives you some answers.

Hugs and waves to everyone else 🐧🐧

@Justincase87 I hope its not as you fear. I'll keep everything crossed 🤞 that on Friday you have good news. We are here for you what ever the outcome xx

Good luck everyone having scans today

I rang the EPU and they won't scan me because it isn't heavy and the pain isn't severe, they said it might be the start of something but after only a week they wouldn't be able to confirm anything either way so they won't be scanning me until Friday. My boobs aren't sore and I don't feel nauseous so I know what the outcome will be, just feel so sad that it's happening again X

@Justincase87 how are you today hun?

@SerenaOverjoyed and @hayleyfx good luck with your scans today xx

@@Lilimum5 just call them, then you can probably relax the whole weekend. I rang them when I was still spotting after 2 weeks, put my mind at ease x

@DayDreamer1707 I've been taking extra iron anyway just in case but I think I will do that if there is no change monday

@Lilimum5 unfortunately its different for everyone. This is what happened for me. I had a MMC on the 15th October had MM twice and bleed heavy for about 4 days then spotting for about 2 and a half weeks after. Had my first AF on the 14th of November. They said to me that the bleeding can last for up to 4 weeks after. I did have a scan 2 weeks after the MM and it showed everything had gone but I was still spotting slightly. Maybe call the EPU and see if they can do anything further for you? If it's pretty heavy I would do this anyway as it must be making you feel pretty ill xx

Congrats rdm10 - fx for a sticky bean

Lovely to see lots of BFP's popping up x

Quick question

If I only had retained products and had medical management to pass it. How long should a hpt still be positive. Tested this morning and still solid line on a 20mlu test. I had the mm on Monday to pass a golf ball size lump of pregnancy tissue. I believe that it did pass as I had a lot of pain and huge clot from 7.30pm until 3am Tuesday. Also how long will I bleed for. I'm starting to get a bit upset with all this bleeding. It's been going on now since 31st October and I've had 2 x mm and 1x erpc surely this should be over by now xx
Any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks xx

Opps posted too soon..

Meghan - everything crossed this works out for you. Massive hugs for getting through the next 8 weeks (then the other 28..!)

haleyfxNo morning sickness here either. I am a bit worried, but I think the average point to start is 6-7wks anyway. My friend had no nausea at all and she's got a gorgeous 6month boy. Every pregnancy is different x

babycakes1989 I'm sorry. Announcements are so shit. Jealousy is totally natural. I remember feeling pissed when the royals announced Megan Markle's pregnancy on babyloss awareness 'shine a light' day (and I don't care about the royal family at all!). It can be so hard and conflicted seeing people you love with healthy pregnancies. What can we say? It's shit. We need to be kind to ourselves and have more wine baths e

Justincase87 there are so many little causes for bleeding. I know it's virtually impossible but try and remember that. Can you call epu and ask for a reassurance scan? When is your next one?

I'm presenting to epu as instructed to ask for a reassurance scan. I am cacking myself. I'm thinking maybe I should've waited but I've got leave for today so it feels now or never. My symptoms are a bit static so I'm preparing for bad news. My hcg fitted 5wks last week so I'm hoping I'm 6wks+ now. Who knows? Pregnancy post mc is not fun.

Good luck for today @hayleyfx - I hope you get to see a lovely strong heartbeat. As an aside, I think we were on the same antenatal club thread before, due in Feb?

How are things this morning @Justincase87? I’ve had spotting and bleeding in both of my successful pregnancies, fingers crossed it’s nothing.

Hi all, checking in..

29
TTC #1
4 x mcs all before 5wks between Oct 17-June 18
Currently 6wk 1d pg? I have PCOS so dating is guesswork

MeghanV07 Tenative congratulations. Fingers crossed for a sticky littl

Hello ladies,
I’ve not posted for a long time but still check in to see how everyone’s doing.
Roll call-
Ttc #2
Mc @ 10 weeks in feb (bean measured 6+4)
Mmc @ 11 weeks in aug (measured 9+6)

Got bpf last weekend but not feeling at all positive.
@hayleyfx I’m tha same, I have absolutely no symptoms, I did have slightly sore boobs at the start of the week but even that’s gone now. Keep expecting to be bleeding every time I go to the toilet. Just did another cb digital and got a 3+ so I’ll just wait and see. Our epau doesn’t scan until 7 weeks so I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed till then.
Good luck at your scan today.

Sorry to see so many newbies and sorry to see some oldies are still here x

@Babycakes1989 thinking of you 😘 one of my best friends is a month ahead of me. We were planning mat leave together. Today she found out she's having another boy. I'm thrilled for her but can't help but feel so envious too. I get exactly what you mean.

@Justincase87 sending love, no advice to add but call the EPU. Keeping everything crossed, you'll be ok x

@Justincase87 you are not rediculous hun, your scared and its natural. Go put your feet up and try to relax (I know that's so hard to do)
I've got my fingers crossed 🤞 that everything is fine.

@dramaqueen14 I’m in my first TWW. I’d just rather know if it’s going to be a positive or negative and then I can move on. Not going to get my hopes up this month though as it’s my first cycle since my MMC, classing this as practice month!! People sometimes don’t think about what they are doing, they don’t realise that sometimes your smiles is just to hide the pain x

@justincase87 call the EPU and go for an early scan, could be just bleeding because it’s still an early pregnancy like the other ladies have said.

I cannot wait to see some BFP from your lovely lot 💕💕💕💕

@hayleyfx in my last pregnancy I saw a heartbeat at 6+3, and at 5+4, but I think that at 6 weeks it's 50/50 if you'll see a heartbeat, there should be a sac and a yolk though, good luck!

I've just blurted out what's going on to the poor guy I work with, and another member of staff is coming in now, feel ridiculous for getting in such a state and will regret telling him but I just want to go home

@Justincase87 as other ladies have said, everything could be totally fine. Definitely contact EPU and request to be seen, hopefully a scan. Going to be keeping everything crossed for you xx

@Babycakes1989 it really is such a great help to have people who understand and such supportive people too. So much love on this thread, I’m glad I found it when I did! X

Okay I’ve got a scan tomorrow. Should be 6+1. Unbelievably scared for it. Earliest I’ve had a scan before is 7 weeks so not sure what to expect.
What should you see at 6 weeks? Probably a heartbeat, right? I’m terrified.

My clearblue advanced fertility monitor and tests have arrived. So when I finally get a bfn and first af I can start tracking again.
I still feel like I had my heart ripped out but I feel having a goal is really helpful.
Still getting a positive at the moment but I have to remember that I only had the third round of management on Monday but I'm so impatient. I'm a control freak and I'm struggling as I can't control any of this.

@Justincase87 I'm up to date thread updated. I hope your OK hun. As beaglemum said don't panic all could be OK. But do ring epu and get an appointment even if it's just for reassurance. Let us know how you get on xx

@Justincase87 how much bleeding hun and is there anyway you can get away from work at all.

Have you got a number for the epu? You could give them a ring and see if they can give you any advice or book you in for a scan?

It's pink and just there when I wipe - but this happened in my last pregnancy - I had spotting, baby measured two weeks behind then died at 8+4, I'm 6 or 7 weeks but a scan last week showed a sac and yolk but no baby yet X
