Pregnancy after MMC

@bells993 Yay! That's brilliant news! So pleased for you!

@msanne you're exactly the same as me! Usually bang on 28 days but last cycle was 33.

CD25 / 7DPO here, feeling fine still, no symptoms at all. I've convinced myself I'm out this cycle because we DTD the day before ovulation rather than on the day of. I know there's still a chance but my brain works in mysterious ways when TTC 😂

@Bells993 yayyy, never been so happy to congratulate someone on their AF!😂 But so happy you can finally close this chapter and look forward. I remember feeling overwhelming relief that everything was getting back to normal.

@msanne how exciting for you. I'm always so hopeful and positive and that stage of cycle. It's nice to start a fresh. Lots of dtd for you. We started on CD 6 and just carried on this month. Think we only missed 1 or 2 days max. 😳😴

I'm CD 19 and ive got a banging headache. It started last night and ive woke up with it today. I think how anxious and crap I was feeling yesterday combined with the heat etc has caused it. Hoping it's not a sign AF is on her way. 🙏🤞 xx

@Bells993 - yaaay! So happy your body has reset and you didn't need any further intervention. Now you can start planning again :)

My AF finished yesterday - 5 days long so more than I usually have. Also my cycle last month was 33 days, when I am usually bang on 28 days. I think when we get round to it we are going to have to dtd every day for 2 weeks straight to ensure we don't miss the window. I'm getting exhausted just thinking of it - lol!

How is everyone else feeling today? @MrsTtobe @Frankincense88 @Leaf87 xoxo

@Frankincense88 I researched short luteal phase when we were trying before my miscarriage! I had some really short cycles and convinced myself my uterus wasnt having enough time to thicken etc! But I conceived so must have been ok. Google is a great but equally dangerous place! Happy Monday 😘😊

@MrsTtobe Yep - CD24 here with AF due Friday / Saturday. I usually have 27/28 day cycles but my last one post MC was 33. I didn't ovulate until CD18 though so worrying now because I read loads of information avoid short luteal phases and how it's harder to conceive because the womb lining can't thicken enough in time 😩 trying just to think what will be will be though! Feeling fine in myself, no symptoms at all but tbh I didn't have any last time other than cramps which I thought was AF! Definitely not going to test until I am officially 'late' though so I don't get my hopes up / spend loads of money on tests!

Hope you're all well ladies, sending some positivity and sunshine your way 💕☀️

@Bells993 you're so so right. I know 100% that what will be will be and whatever happens life should be enjoyed! I have always suffered with health anxiety since I was about 25 and my mom had cancer so for about 10 years. Im ok for a few weeks but the slightest thing sets me off and then I worry it's something more serious etc. The miscarriage has massively set it all off again! 😔

My cycles are around 27 ish days. I don't use any kind of tracking, no opks or temp or anything like that mainly because it would all just set me off and I would become obsessed! 🙈 But we've dtd most days from CD6 to CD17 so 🤞. I reckon AF due around 10th/11th June!

Yes you give your friend a hug. It sounds like she needs one. 😔

Let us know what the Dr says lovely. 😘 xx

Morning all... another week! 🙄
CD 18 and im so fed up! I feel emotional and anxious! 😔 I'm so desperate to be pregnant but so terrified of it happening again. I lay awake at night worrying about it. 😔

@msanne my first AF was a bad one too! I guess our bodies clearing everything out! Hope you're ok and will soon be ready to 'go' again. 😬

@Bells993 hope you're ok? Any signs of anything yet? AF or pg?

@Frankincense88 you're just a couple of days in front of me! How you feeling? Your cycles usually 28 days? So a week or so till you test? Xxx

HI Ladies,

@MrsTtobe - I do drink at least 2 coffees a day - I need it! I usually cut down to only one in the morning once I find out I'm pregnant. I am drinking a lot more than before atm though - i think it is the stress. I opened a bottle of red last night and nearly all of it is gone! Oops! I will stop drinking the alcohol once i've ovulated though.

@Bells993 - please don't worry. As @Frankincense88 says - call the GP and see if they can do other tests. If you are further along in the pregnancy your HPT might not pick it up anyway. Also, if you are not pregnant and still waiting for AF, they may be able to do an internal scan just to check all is well? It must be stressful for you - thinking of you xoxo

@Frankincense88 and @MrsTTobe - not long for you guys to start testing now. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

AF is so heavy for me this time around, I actually think it is remnants of my last pregnancy (there was a tiny bit left at my last scan), so am pretty sure it is a good thing I didn't conceive this month.

June is going to be it ladies - here's to willing good things for us all.

xoxo

Morning ladies!

Just been catching up with the thread. 4DPO here CD22. I actually ovulated on CD 18 so just trying to not think about it now and what will be will be!

@MrsTtobe I can't give up caffeine either - I have tried to cut down though as I can have anything between 6-9 teas / coffees a day 😬 but am limiting myself to 2 teas in the morning and an iced coffee at lunch time. Anything after that is rooibos or decaf earl grey!

@Bells993 I wouldn't be worried just yet - everyone is different and being anxious or worrying can delay it further. If you're really worried though you could always ring the GP Monday for a phone conversation? You know your body best and if something doesn't feel right always there's no harm if you check.

@Bells993 see my 8 week scan where everything was fine has made me think the opposite! I don't want any early scans next time. It was the 8 week scan which made everything harder. I think if I hadn't had that scan then it would have been better... emotionally for me to deal with so i really don't think I would have an early scan now. 😔 The miscarriage has totally ruined early pregnancy and the enjoyment of scans for me! 😔 It's just horrible isn't it.
So like you say fingers crossed you will be turning your nose up at a cuppa sometime soon. And then you wont need a test. 😂

Desi Perkins, no not watched her you tube. Im following her on insta though. You tube and Mumsnet saved me during miscarriage. Watching videos of people talking about their miscarriage really helped me. I love you tube. My faves Emily Norris, Lucy Jessica Carter and Charlotte Louise Taylor. 😊

@msanne I'm rubbish! Only take my pregnacare and im crap at taking that if I'm honest! I started taking vit b complex before I conceived so will do that next month as and when AF shows.
What's the coq10 thing I hear everyone talk about? I'm weird about taking stuff. I hate even taking paracetamol or antihistamines for my hayfever.
Are you all still drinking caffeine? I don't drink much alcohol but I can't give up my tea/ iced coffees!😂

Thanks ladies.

@Bells993 - amen to that! I am so nervous for the first 12 weeks - you have got the patience of a saint! Here's to hoping - fingers crossed.

@MrsTtobe - it is cruel that information isn't it....i thought that too....I had a private scan at 10 weeks and saw little baby waving and everything and then at our 12 week scan we were told about the Trisomies.

I did want to ask again about supplements though - do you ladies take anything extra to help you along? and if you do, are there particular cycle days you take the supplements? Currently, I take Folate, Sevens seas Multivitamins with Cod liver oil and EPO. I've read lots about Co enzyme 10 and Soy Isoflavins but not sure if they're worth taking and if you do, which days to take them! My cycles have to date been fairly regular so am also worried about how any new supplements might affect my natural cycle. Obviously want to do anything that could help Mother nature along though!

Happy weekend to you all too xoxo

Thanks @Leaf87

@Bells993 good girl 😂
Yes you're so right! Honestly the thought of those first 3 months is sending my anxiety through the roof! I was 11 weeks when it happened and had stupidly read somewhere that if you made it to 8 weeks then 98% chance of everything being fine. 😔
Yes imagine how lovely it would be for you if you were already a fair way through when you find out!
Are you having any symptoms or anything? Have you had any spotting or anything?

Happy Weekend Girls 🌞🌞🌞

Morning @msanne that's so shit! Hope you're ok, I took some consolation in at least I knew my body was back doing what it should be but it's still always shit! 😔
That's the killer isn't it. The symptoms! For the 5 cycles we were trying before my miscarriage I was convinced every time I was pg! I had every symptom going. Ironically the cycle I was actually pg I was convinced it was AF on her way and I felt the least pg I had the whole time! Very strange things are our bodies! But dust yourself off and think positive! You're 2 days down already and well on your way to next cycle. 🙏
Im CD 15 - feeling very much what's done is done and what will be will be. No symptoms at all but would be too early yet I think.
Will start taking my vit b complex again this month if and when AF comes! I got pg the month I took that so superstitious me is thinking I need to do the same things exactly! 🙈😂

Hi Ladies,

Sorry for going quiet last night - AF started with a vengeance and I wasn't doing too great.

@MrsTtobe and @Bells993 - I am so upset AF started but in the same sense am relieved that I know that I am not going crazy. I stopped testing on Tuesday so practiced some willpower for 2 days before AF arrived. CD 2 today and the countdown begins again....

What gets me is all the symptoms I had - I was convinced that they were not PMS! I think waiting next time will be harder as although I know it already the symptom spotting has got to STOP!!

I am rooting for you girls - some good news is overdue....sending you all lots of love xoxo

@Leaf87 nice to hear from you and glad you're doing ok. We're all here to hopefully offer advice when you need it. 😘

@Bells993 you've got some patience and will power. That's so frustrating that it's been that long but we all have everything crossed for you! 🙏🙏
Yes my AF due 11th June ish so I'm pretty good and never test early 😂 my anxiety can't take it 😂
Fingers crossed his swimmers are busy as im writing this. 😂😂

@Bells993 all ok over here, I can't really report much. AF has been and gone now but we have to wait...
Hopefully should hear from Charring Cross next week, hopeful my HCG will have dropped a bit more by then 8 weeks since D&C and on monday my levels were at 12. Anything between 0 & 5 is classed as normal... maybe being optimistic but sort of hoping I will be around there when Charring cross get a blood sample. Then I wont be monitored for as long.

Your patience is impressive with your waiting! Fingers crossed.

@itssquidstella welcome, I am sorry you find yourself here it sucks. However we are all in the same boat together and these ladies really are great to talk to

Thanks @Bells993. The EPU consultant was lovely and has told me to speak to my GP and ask for blood tests; a friend has also given me the contact details of a really good private fertility doctor so I'm going to get in touch with him too and see if he can help.

Fingers crossed if there is an issue, it's easy to identify and fix!
