Pregnancy after MMC

Hi Everyone,
Unfortunately I had a MMC on our second pregnancy last month. (I have a 1 year old)
I should of been 9 weeks at my Scan but baby was only 8 weeks 4 so it had just happened. 3 days later I had a private D&C as I didn’t want to risk the hospital/ the trauma of dealing with it at home with my little boy.
I had bleeding on and off for 2 weeks after (6th of April was the D&C) I had regular bloody tests, my last one my HCG had come down to 70 so 3 days later I got my first negative test.
I had an internal to confirm no retained pregnancy and was given the all clear to try again straight away. I’ve had cystitis this weekend to add to my problems and now I’m getting this on my tests. Had anyone experienced anything similar, what are your thoughts? Feel like my body’s just giving up on me haha! I’d love to be pregnant again but I’d just be surprised if it could all happen within such a small time scale
Thanks everyone

@Frankincense88 - thank you so much hun. I am refusing to get excited yet as I want it soooo much.

I will update you all tomorrow morning.

I hope that all of us get our sticky babies super soon :) Have a well-deserved rest tonight! xoxo

Frankincense88 · 23/06/2020 16:57

@msanne that FRER definitely looks positive to me! And I'm rubbish at looking for lines 😂 congratulations! Let us know when you do another one and hopefully it'll be darker! Hoping I can join you this month I'm getting impatient now 😂😂 xoxo

msanne · 23/06/2020 16:53

Hey @Frankincense88 - sounds to me like you've done the absolute best you can. Let the countdown begin!

So I've attached some pics of some HPTs. The top IC is from 9dpo, the middle one and the FRER is from this morning. I think there is a very faint line appearing - BUT totally am not convinced as last month I am sure I had a similar line and then nothing!

On the plus side - this month I am not late with AF (she is due either on the 28th or the 30th depending on which app).
I will take another FMU first thing tomorrow and hopefully, that line will get darker....fingers crossed!

I have symptoms that keep coming and going. I feel totally normal one minute and then the next minute, sick to my bones....I am hoping we know by the end of the week at the latest as the suspense is too much and I can barely sleep!!

Let me know what you gals think? xoxo

Am officially in the TWW. Think I ovulated last night as had cramps on one side in the evening and have DTD Sat, Sun, Mon and today so fingers crossed!

When are you testing @bells993? I think if I haven't come on by 5/7 I'll start then! Xx

@msanne any more symptoms your end? Xx

Leaf87 · 22/06/2020 13:07

@Frankincense88 thanks I am ok, looking forward to good news soon girls! I am still following you all! I am ok, my blood tests were delayed last week due to postal failure!! Finally had then today so hoping I should get the results by friday!

Frankincense88 · 22/06/2020 12:51

@msanne sending you lots of hopeful vibes! Will you wait until AF is late before you test?

@bells993 exciting we're ovulating the same time! Fingers crossed for both of us 💕🤞🏼

@leaf87 @MrsTtobe sending you both lots of 💕 and hoping you're doing ok! Xx

msanne · 22/06/2020 11:40

hahaha @Bells993 - you are a trooper! I hope it has stuck! I feel the same - we did it for 6 days straight and I thought, if this hasn't taken then I need to do something - maybe lose some extra weight! I have piled on nearly 8 kg since lockdown began.

Lots of love xoxo

msanne · 22/06/2020 11:35

@Frankincense88 - good luck for tonight!

Not late yet - due to have AF either on 26th or the 30th (date varies according to app). Feeling odd, not sure if this is the impending AF or a BFP! Fingers crossed for the latter!

xoxo

Bells993 · 22/06/2020 11:10

I’ve DTD for 7 days straight hahaa 🙈 if I’m not pregnant I’ll be fumming! My Static smiley is due to go today so I’ll try one more time tonight and then I well deserved break! The two week wait begins 😫
@Frankincense88 Good luck 🤣🤣 xx
@msanne fingers crossed for some good news for you this week! Be thinking of you xxxx

@msanne had a busy weekend 😂 static smiley this morning so have left strict instructions for DH to be ready to go when I get home from school 😂 how're you feeling? Are you late for AF yet? Xx

msanne · 22/06/2020 09:33

Ohhhhh exciting @Bells993! How did the weekend go for you and @Frankincense88?

Can't believe that it is Monday already :(

I took a cheapie HPT today - didn't really see anything. I think I need to wait a few more days. Keep getting cramping though, feel nauseous all the time! I swear, I must've got these types of symptoms all the time for PMS - but am SO aware of it now and feel sooo nervous!

Have a good week ladies! xoxo

Frankincense88 · 20/06/2020 20:20

@bells993 sorry forgot to tag you in my excitement!! 😂

Frankincense88 · 20/06/2020 20:19

I'd say ovulating! Get off mumsnet and get busy!! Xxx

Bells993 · 20/06/2020 19:55

Hey Girls,
So I’ve had cramping today (never had ovulation pains before my MC) guessing this is a new thing but I’ve felt it all day. I purposely didn’t wee from 12pm - 6pm to re test to see and I got a solid face! What are we thinking? Testing in the avo messed it up or I’m defo OV’ing Xxx

Bells993 · 19/06/2020 21:52

@Frankincense88 ahh so annoying, thing is my cycles are 33 days so I tested earlier than what it wanted as well as I was worried they could be different this cycle! Ahh we will see what happens, just keep at it haha!

@msanne ekkkk, exciting! Fingers crossed for you!
Count down is on! Xxx

@msanne just the 55 essays to mark by Monday now 😂 I've done 30 today and had a meeting so I'm stopping now and I'll do the rest tomorrow morning probably!

@bells993 I had the exact same thing last month - I think when used exactly as the instructions say they're super effective but I started testing on day 10 last cycle then had one day of circle then like 9 days of flashing. Kept DTD anyway but gave up with testing and did a cheapy when I had some pain and it was positive but we only DTD the day before ovulation so missed the boat. This month I started testing on day 8 and had 3 days of low circle before getting a flashing face today. Might be worth saving your remaining sticks to use next cycle (if needed) and just keep DTD and begin testing earlier in your cycle next time. Hopefully you won't need to test next cycle though!!

Got my flashing smiley this morning though so just bracing myself for the next few days 😂😂

msanne · 19/06/2020 11:25

Hey ladies,

@MrsTTobe - Hubby's birthday went good :) I baked 2 cakes so we totally pigged out yesterday and are recovering today.

I totally get the toilet fear - I feel the same...but sending you lots of positive vibes!

@Leaf87 - so happy your AF showed up. You can start afresh now and know your body is back on track :)

@Bells993 - I am itching to test but only 6 DPO so need to wait at least until 9 - hahaha! Will update you guys on Monday!

@Frankincense88 - it's Friday so hopefully you can have a weekend of relaxation and no repeated lessons.

Big hugs xoxo

Bells993 · 19/06/2020 10:36

@Leaf87 I think that must be a good sign! Fingers crossed for your results next week!

@Frankincense88 I’m good thank you, still flashing face which worries me. I only had the circle for one day! Not sure if the tests won’t work this month as I’m on day 7 of flashing face tomorrow. Been trying to DTD as much as possible just incase. Not sure what will happen with my cycle this month, making me worry they could be all over the place xxx

Frankincense88 · 18/06/2020 21:13

@leaf87 so glad AF has returned and i def think that's a good sign. Sending lots of positive vibes to you 💕💕

@Bells993 all good this end lovely, CD12 and still circle on my OPK. Hoping to get flashing smiley over the weekend but it probs won't be until next week! How're things with you? Xx

@mrsttobe my department and SLT knew but that's all. They've all been really supportive when I've been in this week (which has been every day!) I've taught the same lesson to Year 10 ELEVEN TIMES since Monday. 😭 was def ready for a big glass of wine when I got in 😂

Leaf87 · 18/06/2020 21:07

Hello ladies @msanne @Frankincense88 @MrsTtobe just checking in, all ok here I was due more blood tests Wednesday but my kit is delayed in the post... very annoying!!! Good news is Af has shown up right on time..... surely that must be a good sign. I did have really bad ovulation pains this month never experienced them before maybe my ovaries waking up after six months of doing nothing.
Glad to hear your all ok fingers crossed we get more good news soon!!

Bells993 · 18/06/2020 20:31

@MrsTtobe ahhh hun that’s awful for you. Your over the first hurdle though! Each day is another step forward!

Hmmm I really don’t know, if I still haven’t ovulated at CD17 I guess second week of July at some point. Might delay it for as long as I can just to try and keep me sane 😫😂 xxx

MrsTtobe · 18/06/2020 20:14

Thank you ladies 😊😘 I'm rooting for you all. ❤
So what dates are you all due AF/ testing?

@Bells993 I'm ok, seem to have one stressy day then one good day. But just taking each day as it comes and dealing with my toilet anxiety. I can't even begin to tel you the fear every time I go to the loo. 🙈

@msanne How are you feeling lovely? Not long to go, hope you're keeping busy. Happy birthday to your hubby... I'm sure you said it was today? 😊

@Frankincense88 how are you finding work? Did staff know you were pregnant? Xxx

Bells993 · 18/06/2020 20:07

@Jessie6 so sorry hun, you sound like you’ve had a awful time 😭 fingers crossed for you this month. I count the first full day of bleeding as CD1 not sure if that’s the right thing to do but I think that I read it somewhere haha.

How are you doing @Frankincense88

Still no solid face for me, I’ve been testing for a week tomorrow. High fertility since Saturday so hopefully I get a solid face this weekend.

@MrsTtobe you’ve got this! Stay positive 😍😍

Ekkk counting down the days for you @msanne

Hopefully we all get some more good news this month xxx

Frankincense88 · 17/06/2020 13:23

@MrsTtobe yes! Storms here from about 7pm. Thunder and lightning too! My garden has had a nice drink though 😂

@jessie6 I'm usually a 27-28 day cycle but since my MMC I've had a 33 day and a 29 day cycle so could be anything really!

Hoping this month is the month I get lucky! I'll only have a couple of weeks at work after testing then 6 weeks summer holidays so can relax without stressing about being in work and catching Covid 😩

msanne · 17/06/2020 10:43

Hahaha - it is so true @Jessie 6! I used to buy "cool" things - now i'm excited if I find a cool gadget for the house - my latest purchase being a churro maker. Not that I need any more calories either lol - I blame the kids :P

@MrsTtobe - I'm ok hun. Getting weird cramping but trying my best to brush it off. I went on a totally wild goose chase yesterday - I misplaced our passports (not that we're using them atm) but turned the house upside down trying to find them. This has in turn opened up about a million other things I need to sort out today!

It's sunny here today - so going to go to the park later I think and get the kids to stretch out their legs and get some fresh air. It also gives me a good excuse not to sort out the mess I've made at home!!

Big hugs to you all xoxo
