Welcome to the 🐧 huddle. This a safe place to get and give support for everyone who has experienced the loss(es) of a pregnancy and baby. Pregnancy and child loss is the most awful thing anyone can experience and it can also be the most lonely time too. I hope you find this thread to be of some comfort.

Thank you all, I’m hoping it’s nothing and plan to retest late next week to see if this increases to 2-3. Fingers crossed , I haven’t had anything else since showering a few hours ago x

Avocuddles · 07/12/2019 11:02

Apologies meant @MrsMGE - though I'm always happy to help both of you! 😆

Avocuddles · 07/12/2019 11:01

@VenusStarr always happy to help!

MrsMGE · 07/12/2019 10:49

Woohoo @Venusstarr, that's an awesome result! Men always lose quicker, my DH does too, ignore that!

Oh God @Avocuddles you've just made my day!!! The do deliver, indeed! You legend ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

Avocuddles · 07/12/2019 10:31

@Babykent2019 I'm crossing my fingers for you, I hope it isn't what you think but if it does come to the worst then we'll all be here for you.

@MrsMGE 😂 sounds like a good night! McDonalds delivers where I live.....I'm more of a nuggets girl myself.....

@VenusStarr well done on a good start! I'm about a stone over a normal BMI, though well below 30 which is the fertility treatment cut off. Keep up the good work and I'll be joining you on the health kick come Jan.

VenusStarr · 07/12/2019 10:26

Morning ladies. Had my first slimming world weigh in today... I lost 4lbs in a week! :) (dh lost 7.5 lbs but we won't talk about that 🙄) we both need to lose about 2 stone to get back to a healthy bmi.

@MrsMGE sounds like a good night 😉 hope you start to feel human soon

Welcome @Babykent2019 I've never had implantation bleeding but I think it can happen at any point up to about 6/7 weeks so can be normal. Unfortunately I think the only thing you can do is wait until your af due date and retest. I'd tell your dh though, it's an anxious time x

Hi , can any one help. Yesterday I did 2 clear blue digital tests and they both came up 1-2 weeks pregnant. Literally the min after the result I wiped and saw a small amount of red blood. Today in the shower it had turned to a brown discharge but a pea sized amount. I had a MMC (missed miscarriage) in June and petrified again. I haven’t even told my husband about yesterday’s result as I do t want to break his heart as well. I read it couldn’t be implantation bleeding as this was before BFP (big fat positive) not after. Any advice ? Could this be a dreaded chemical pregnancy? My af is due Monday , so test was an early one

MrsMGE · 07/12/2019 09:39

Dying @ReeRi! Someone please bring me chicken selects...

ReeRi · 07/12/2019 08:59

How was your party @MrsMGE?

ReeRi · 06/12/2019 12:47

Yes I agree after Christmas

A separate thread might be a good idea too as not everyone on here will want to hear about it presumably 🤔

VenusStarr · 06/12/2019 12:34

Sounds like a great idea @Avocuddles!! 🎅

Avocuddles · 06/12/2019 12:24

@VenusStarr maybe you can ask Santa for some nice undies to give you and your OH a very merry Christmas!!!! Wink

Avocuddles · 06/12/2019 12:23

Hi ladies! Quick reply as about to go into a meeting but just wanted to say I like the weight loss idea. Personally I would rather we start after Christmas - I have zero intention of losing weight this month (after the shittest of years i feel life is too short to turn down the Christmas goodies!) so all it would probably do is make me feel a bit rubbish about myself. First day back in the new year though I'll definitely be hitting the scales!
All the best though to those of you who are giving a go now, you are far stronger women than I!

MissSparkles81 · 06/12/2019 12:14

Thanks ladies ... Flowers

MrsMGE · 06/12/2019 12:02

Yes, ladies!!! What a great team! 🌺

I say, we've been through baby loss - nothing will defeat us after this, and certainly we can lose a few stone to feel better and stronger! ❤️💪 Xxx

VenusStarr · 06/12/2019 11:53

@ReeRi hugs ❤️ if my cycle isn't affected by the op I should be ovulating around Christmas day 🤞

@MrsMGE sounds like a good idea, I'll let you know tomorrow after my first weigh in. I do feel healthier as I'm eating more vegetables.

@MissSparkles81 I'm a bit twingy today but cat cuddles are helping ☺️ I'm sorry you're feeling low today, your GP sounds lovely xxx ❤️

MrsMGE · 06/12/2019 11:53

Aw @MissSparkles81 big hugs to you 🌺 We know how this feels. Have another cry if you need to and be gentle with yourself for the next few days ❤️ I'm going to reflexology tomorrow as well, I hope you feel better afterwards.

@SunshineCrocodile I just wanted to say your words about the burial were beautiful, very poignant, I shed a little tear ❤️ xxx

MissSparkles81 · 06/12/2019 11:50

Im happy to join in with the healthy eating! My eating has been diabolical over the past few weeks.

MissSparkles81 · 06/12/2019 11:48

@VenusStarr hope your recovery is still going well xx

ReeRi · 06/12/2019 11:48

Thanks @VenusStarr I think I have my answer but don’t mind a slightly longer cycle right now given DH isn’t able to do the deed for a couple of weeks anyway following his surgery!

I hope you get some answers too but I think, particularly with first trimester MC, it can be hard to pinpoint the reason.

Are we starting this weight loss thing in the new year or now? Christmas is not a good time 😂

MrsMGE · 06/12/2019 11:48

Ladies, I can't cope with more than one thread, let's just post a weekly update on our progress on Saturdays to start the weekend well 😊👍 I think this is fab, finally we'll focus on something good like getting fitter/slimmer! This can only do us good 🌺 xxx

MissSparkles81 · 06/12/2019 11:46

Morning ladies I hope that you are all ok. Im feeling really down as today I should have been going for my 12 week scan. Im trying not to dwell on it but its hard. I had a breakdown with my GP yesterday. Thankfully she is lovely and let me have a good cry and assured me that she doesn't think I am losing my mind.

For those who asked I dont really know if J will try again this cycle. I am tracking using opk's but mentally I just dont think Im there yet.

@sunshinecrocodile your burial sounds so peaceful and I hope you feel a wee bit better for having a good cry and letting it all out. Big hugs.

@reeri I am sorry to hear about the negative.

Plan for today is to take myself off for a bacm massage and reflexology to try and take my mind off things.

VenusStarr · 06/12/2019 11:26

That's frustrating @ReeRi, hope you get an answer soon.

I'm up for a healthy / weight loss support. I've just joined slimming world and it turns out I have put on 2 stone this year 🤮 first weigh in tomorrow.

Been doing more reading on polyps and am convinced that it may be the reason for my second miscarriage. I've emailed my rmc consultant for his opinion.

ReeRi · 06/12/2019 11:02

@VenusStarr @MrsMGE I didn’t track but thought I ovulated late because of my CM but only about four days late so AF should be due now and I should get a positive on a FRER. I did get a faint positive on a cheapie Boots on Monday night but think it was a dodgy test as I got a BFN the next morning with FMU and have had about 6 negative FRERs since last week! No PMT either though!

Yes let’s be healthy buddies or whatever. I don’t really weigh myself but maybe I should. Do we need a separate thread for that? The Penguin Weight Loss huddle?! 😂

MrsMGE · 06/12/2019 09:50

@ReeRi I reckon wait a couple of days and try CB Digital. If you ovulated late, which you said you may have, it's not necessarily game over this cycle. I know how it feels to keep hoping and then come crashing down, but I think you may need few more days before it's a definite BFN. Are you better today, physically? Xxx
