TTC after miscarriage - January 2020

Hello all (and late Merry Christmas!)

Looking for TTC buddies in a similar situation! 👋

In September I accidentally became pregnant. We had planned to begin TTC in Jan 2020 anyway, so we were really excited. Sadly, at my 12 week scan on 25th Nov, I found out I had had a missed miscarriage and the baby had stopped growing at about 9 weeks. The week that followed was one of the most traumatic in my life, having failed medical management and then an ERPC. All this happened whilst I was in another country.

Since then my recovery has been okay but all I can think about is wanting to be pregnant again and have been hoping and praying that my period returns soon so that we can officially start trying.

This morning I have had brown discharge and cramping, so it does feel like AF is on the way. So I guess I am going to count today as CD1 of my first official TTC cycle?

I wondered if anyone had been through anything similar and if so I am so sorry for your loss and what you had to go through. It really is a horrendous time. 💐

Anyone want to join me? 💕

@BecsterG congratulations! This is fantastic all these bfp! 🌈✨💜

BecsterG · 16/01/2020 10:16

Sorry mean the bottom one is positive!! Ahh so sorry I really need to proof read my messages.

ChampooPapi · 16/01/2020 10:14

@FireflyGirl waves, I'm in the two week wait, but I will still be baby dancing from today untill Sunday again just in case I haven't ovulated. Doing smep with some extra sex thrown in for good measure 🙄. My period is due the 28th from my last three cycles post miscarriage so I'll be testing on the 29th if it doesn't show.

And yes to all threads pregnancy or otherwise ♀️🔌

BecsterG · 16/01/2020 10:10

@FireflyGirl that’s a great idea for a thread.

Sounds like you’ve really been through it!

I agree it’s nice to live it with someone who’s going through what we are. X

Anny27 · 16/01/2020 10:09

@DisneyMummySince2010 sorry AF arrived :(

@terribleimagination thanks for setting up the Feb thread. Hopefully I wont have to join 🤞

Theres a lot of lines on this group! All you ladies are very fertile. Let's hope its catching 🥳🤣

4dpo for me today and 0 symptoms but not expecting any till about 7/8dpo!

TerribleImagination · 16/01/2020 10:06

@FireflyGirl Yeah I totally know what you mean. I know plenty of people who’ve gone through losses, but they all have babies / kids / are pregnant now, so no one is living this with me in real life!

That’s such a lovely idea for a pregnancy thread too! Fingers crossed we all get to be on that together too 🤞🏻

You poor thing going through that with your son. I can only imagine how hard that must have been 😢 The emotional aftermath of a loss is such a rollercoaster! There are so many ways it can manifest.

BecsterG · 16/01/2020 10:03

@didslysquiddlydoo I think I can it too! Very very faint. This was me yesterday and I was 9 DPO. I took a cheapie and it showed more positive than a FRER. Take one again tomorrow?

I’ll test again tomorrow. Why not ya ha. I was up twice last night with my little boy so didn’t have a massive build up of urine. Ended up peeing when he was up at 5:30 as I couldn’t get back to sleep and I went to the loo at 1:30 before that so just 4 hours. Ekk all so worrying too after why we’ve all been through.

Have a lovely day ladies x

BecsterG · 16/01/2020 09:59

I agree with @TerribleImagination. The bottom one isn’t positive. Did you get a negative after MC?

StephyRose · 16/01/2020 09:59

@BecsterG I can see it!! Congratulations! 🎉🎉💗

@didslysquiddlydoo I can see yours too!! And the fact that you can see it at 8DPO is really a good sign. :D

I caved and took another one this morning and the line, though faint, is definitely there. I dont even have to try and find it now, I can just see it. Hopefully this is a good sign. 🤞

FireflyGirl · 16/01/2020 09:52

Is anyone else not into the TWW yet? I don't want to be sat here by myself in a week's time Grin

FireflyGirl · 16/01/2020 09:41

I think that's a good idea, Terrible.

People IRL are sympathetic, and some of them have even been through it, but it's nice to have people to talk to who are going through it right now, iykwim.

I think it would be great to have a thread for those people who get a bfp, for the same reason, even though I'm not there yet. My first pg ended in MMC at 11 weeks, and I was so anxious throughout my subsequent successful pg with DS. I didn't bond with him until he was about 6 months old, because I was convinced he was going to be 'taken away', and it wasn't something I could discuss with anyone IRL (apart from DH, but he obviously wasn't experiencing it from a mother's point of view, where you can feel them moving inside you and you're praying your body looks after this one).

TerribleImagination · 16/01/2020 09:38

I think I’ve done this right?! Here is the February thread...

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3796903-TTC-after-miscarriage-February-2020?msgid=93157221#93157221

In the nicest possible way, I hope none of you have to join! But if you do, I’ll have a virtual brew and hug waiting ❤️

Cruiser1 · 16/01/2020 09:35

@BecsterG that looks positive to me yayyy
@toomanyleggings are you first cycle after miscarriage? Could be left over HCG
If not then it’s definitely a positive yayy

toomanyleggings · 16/01/2020 09:34

@mlax the pregnancy test is so light though. Couldn't see it really until it had dried

TerribleImagination · 16/01/2020 09:29

@mlax I’ll have a go at setting one up! Never done it before, wish me luck 😆

mlax · 16/01/2020 09:28

@toomanyleggings if the bottom one is a pregnancy test, then that's a positive to me!? Therefore your ovulation sticks will be picking up for hcg hormone?!!! 😀

mlax · 16/01/2020 09:27

@BecsterG oh I'm not! I've tested for days 😂 but I've been testing too early with ERPRs! Now it's the day I feel like it would be more accurate.

P.S I can definitely see a faint line in the 2nd picture!!! Eekkk! 💗💗

@TerribleImagination I hope so! This thread helps me stay sane! X

toomanyleggings · 16/01/2020 09:26

Can't work out if I'm gearing up to ovulate? What do you ladies think? Bottom one is a pregnancy test, middle one is an ovulation test and top is a digital ovulation test. Feel like my bathroom is a science lab lol

TerribleImagination · 16/01/2020 09:21

Thanks for the love ❤️ This really is a lovely thread of people to go through all this with!

I’m consoling myself with an obscene amount of Nutella on crumpets! Hopefully AF will be done and dusted in a few days and I can get cracking with the OPK’s next week.

@BecsterG That does look promising!! Crossing everything for you lovey.

For those of us who aren’t lucky this month, are we doing another thread for Feb??

didslysquiddlydoo · 16/01/2020 09:19

@mlax you are so unbelievably patient / sensible to have managed to hold out until AF due!! Fingers crossed for you xxxx

didslysquiddlydoo · 16/01/2020 09:18

So sorry to those that are out for this month - hoping you get a bit of a break from the stress / anxiety in the first half of your cycle and fingers crossed for lots of positives next month!!!

@BecsterG can definitely see that line - it's looking good... everything crossed for line progression over the next few days!! Do you plan to test daily or every other day?!

I caved and took a test this morning... only 8dpo 🙈 positive is I could see a very faint line...
I don't know why I tested though as I already felt quite positive there was going to be a squinted (and it's a real squinter - I'll attach a photo but even harder to see in a picture) but I'm more worried about having my third chemical in a row.. I should have waited!! I'll definitely be testing daily now in the hopes of seeing that line progress!!!

BecsterG · 16/01/2020 09:16

Good luck @mlax You’re so patient waiting.

I’m not due until Sunday. Smile I have zero patience.

@toomanyleggings fingers crossed. Not believing the tests I’ve done until I get a positive digital. Then only time will tell if this is a keeper.

mlax · 16/01/2020 09:05

I'm due AF today ladies, I'm still feeling dizzy/lightheaded which started again last night and have back ache. Backache is usually my sign of AF but never been dizzy/lightheaded before!! I'm going to buy some hpt today on my lunch. If i don't come on at all, I'll test tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞

toomanyleggings · 16/01/2020 09:03

@BecsterG yes I can see a faint line. Hopefully it's a keeper!

BecsterG · 16/01/2020 08:22

Thanks ladies. I’m only 10DPO so fingers crossed it sticks x
