TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 34 - huddle up and bring on the BFP's

959 replies

BunnytheBlueWhale · 23/01/2020 09:23

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

I have found so much comfort from the lovely ladies on this thread and I’m hoping for lots of BFPs in 2020!

What about those syringe things you get with Preseed? Never really understood what those were for

@MissSparkles81 great news. Hopefully now he knows that’s an option, actually dtd won’t seem so stressful. Can I ask what you used? DH is open to the idea... but I’m a bit lost as to what we need. Would a calpol syringe work?! I’ve loads of those! Or do I need to order a kit, since I’m not a medic of any sort!

MissSparkles81 · 30/01/2020 21:05

Thanks ladies ... hoping to try again normally tomorrow night but will be topping up on supplies from work tomorrow.

@mumlili9 how did you get on today?

Shefliesonherownwings · 30/01/2020 18:03

@MissSparkles81 well done on the artificial insemination. It's nice that we can share so much here, in a lovely safe space. When we fell pregnant with DD last year I was using clearblue OPKs and had no flashing smilies at all, just got my static smilie and that was it but it worked.

@Mumlili9 hope you got on ok today.

BunnytheBlueWhale · 30/01/2020 17:30

@MissSparkles81 Good for you! It’s a good job this forum is anonymous for all of us. I often think that while I’m sharing how many times DH and I had sex in a week and talking about my cm 😂🙈

@Mumlili9 I hope you have a good doc who does listen

@MissSparkles81 Fx it's worked for you hun x

I'm currently sat in the doctors waiting. Still spotting today so thinking something is very wrong. Just hope the doc listens to me

MissSparkles81 · 30/01/2020 15:54

@brownbear18 I was very grateful for my nurse supplies in my car this morning thats for sure 😂

MissSparkles81 · 30/01/2020 15:52

@brownbear18 I didn't get any flashing smilies. I had a negative yesterday and same on opk's. It's weird how quick it happened. Xx

brownbear18 · 30/01/2020 15:42

@MissSparkles81 Well done you!! How many days of flashing smileys did you get before today? I'm very intrigued at your attempt at artificial insemination Grinfingers crossed for you!

MissSparkles81 · 30/01/2020 14:48

So stark blazing positive opk this morning and a solid smiley on clearblue ... BF had taken today off totally unplanned so we tried a babydance this morning and sadly it didnt go to plan. We did manage to try artificial insemination so hoping that works - bf didnt actually think I was crazy as I just kind of sprung it on him.

Can't believe I am posting this 🤦‍♀️ thank god for anonymity 😂😂

Avocuddles · 30/01/2020 14:21

@Mumlili9 just wanted to let you know I've been praying / crossing my fingers for you. Hope you have some clear (and positive) answers x

Morganmom · 30/01/2020 13:41

@Mumlili9 I’m glad you have bloods today. I don’t know exactly what this is either but I prayed for you that this is BFP just showing later !

Timeforanamechangeagain1 · 30/01/2020 09:06

I really don't know what it can be @mumlili but I have all my fingers crossed for you

BunnytheBlueWhale · 30/01/2020 08:14

Thinking of you today @Mumlili9

@Mumlili9 🤞🏻 for your appointment today, hope they can give you some advice xx

Russkispy · 30/01/2020 08:00

@Mumlili9 I hope you get answers at your appointment today! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

MissSparkles81 · 30/01/2020 06:16

@Mumlili9 I also didn't want to read and run but like the others I am not sure either. Hopefully at your appointment today they will be able to give you some advice. Good luck xx

tmc14 · 29/01/2020 21:59

@Mumlili9 I’m so sorry it’s been so stressful for you. I don’t know what it could be, but I’m keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow. If you’re worried it’s an ectopic and it’s causing you lots of stress, could you go to A&E tonight? x

BunnytheBlueWhale · 29/01/2020 19:58

@Mumlili9 I haven’t had this so not sure what to suggest but didn’t want to read and run. I take it you’ve got an appointment tomorrow so can be checked out to make sure it’s nothing untoward like an ectopic. Have you had an ectopic before? I would love for this to be just a late BFP for you. Keep us updated if you feel up to it xx

Ladies I'm so scared. So after waiting for 5 days since the near negative test. I had one or two spots of red blood first thing this morning and assumed this was it the bleeding has started. But nothing came of it so because I'm a poas freak I took an easy@home hpt and the line came up darker then the ones I took 6 days ago. So ran to the shops and got cb double check pack. Both positive and when I took the digi when I took the frer that was the most positive (before the near negative the next day) it said not pregnant two days in a row. I'm terrified it's an ectopic pregnancy. I'm so head f**d right now. I've got bloods tomorrow. Also I keep spotting red every few hours. I'm going crazy if this is real its the slowest hcg rise I've ever known. I'm 19 dpo now so most tests should show a blazing line by now. I'm totally sure of my dates coz I temp. Have any of you ever known this and if it ever turned out with a healthy baby. Oh also my temps have gone back up too.

@Morganmom A change in your body good be good news but you need a distraction! It’s so hard to get stressed with TTC and the 2WW and all the other letters of the alphabet 😂

Sorry, I’m exhausted and probably not making any sense now...

OP posts:
Morganmom · 29/01/2020 13:42

@Mumlili9 yes my husband asked me same questions over and over because that’s his way of dealing with it. I’m sorry you have to carry so much. I wish There weren’t so much heartache in this whole process.
@bunnythebluewhale I don’t know wtf with my temps! They r usually so reliable. I am at the point where I am AF just come pit me out my misery. SadSad

BunnytheBlueWhale · 29/01/2020 13:29

@Morganmom It’s so confusing isn’t it. I started symptom spotting yesterday so need to not do that!

@Mumlili9 I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Men deal with things differently from us. It’s not an excuse and not ok but I think they just try to be practical and get on with things, which is tough on you when you’re the one who doesn’t know what your body is doing. I don’t know what to suggest. Is it something you could speak to your GP or EPU about? I expect their advice might be to wait xx

Sorry to keep ranting about me ladies but I'm so frustrated.

I've had near negative test now for four days so I'm definitely going to mc but it's taking its sweet time. I thought Monday the bleeding would start because my temp dropped way down but went back up again today with still not a hint of spotting or active bleeding. What do you think I should do to hurry things along this waiting is breaking me. DH is pretty much ignoring the fact that it's happened at all (I had to tell him in the end because of the lack of a period, he's not stupid he can count the days since the positive opk) everytime I mention it he gets busy or changes the subject but it's hard to say what I'm feeling to him as he's aspergers (high functioning autistic) and does not really do emotions that arn't his own. He can't understand my emotions and just tends to ignore conversations that he's not interested in ( he literally just walks away) it's not his fault and he's not doing it on purpose. Most of the time I can deal with it, but right now I need him to be sensitive to my needs and feelings but it's just not going to happen, the most important thing for him at the moment is getting to work and getting his work stuff sorted everyday. I wish I could shut off my feelings like that and just focus on mundane day to day stuff

OK rant over sorry again xx

Morganmom · 28/01/2020 23:40

@BunnytheBlueWhale usually temp is but now I’m not sure! Temping can be complicated and now mine went back up. Usually when it drops for sure AF is right behind it! I dunno now but 11DPO I felt safe and I checked a FRER and BFN. My body is all over the place!!
