Pregnancy after MMC

Wow girls - been such a busy day today so just catching up.

@MrsTtobe - think of it as even though AF has started you are still that one step closer to that BFP. Every day is a day you are getting closer to that....plus you can drink!! I was naughty yesterday and had a few blood orange G&T's - which I've decided is my new favourite drink :P

@Leaf87 -Happy birthday for tomorrow! Let us know how your day goes :)

@Bells993 cycle day 44 is long - you have been a saint in waiting so long! Good luck!

@Frankincense88 - have fun dtd - you'll have the BHWE to enjoy too :)

I did a PT this morning (my first one this cycle) and it was a negative so feeling bluh....trying to convince myself it is too early to test (AF is due on Saturday) but realistically I think I ovulated all over the place this cycle so not sure if we dtd at the right time. The past 6 days have been hell from work for me so have had no energy for any funny business :P

I have had to put the other "spare" tests in the downstairs cloakroom so that I'm not inclined to test earlier than Friday!! Eeeekkk - counting the days! Until then - is it ok to have my G&T ;)

Sending you all lots of love xx

@Frankincense88 that's exactly how I feel. My first AF since Jan (other than miscarriage) and it's just that feeling of back to square one.
AF is heavier than normal too which is shit but expected as it's the first one since. 😔
Trying to focus on this time next week and dtd and actually feeling like we have something to focus on again.

@Leaf87 and @Bells993 praying for both of you. If not bfp then AF to arrive soon.

Hope you've all had a good weekend. Ive eaten too much and drank too much. As of tomorrow im going to do some exercise and eat well. Or at least better.😂

Got everything crossed for you ladies. 🤞🏼CD9 here so going to start OPK testing tomorrow. Feels weird thinking that it's back to square 1 after not doing testing since the end of Jan. Enjoy the rest of your weekend - it looks like it's going to be a sunny day! Xx

@Bells993 haha no pressure... cycle day 44 still no sign buy also no pregnancey symptoms... I am not feeling optimistic will wait untill end if next week then maybe call the doctor. I am starting to feel very fed up by it!! I just want to get back to TTC. Sorry all of the tests have been negative since.
Fingers crossed we get good news soon girls!!

@Bells993 we thought you were busy dtd 🤣

How many tests have you done lovely? I just can't allow myself to store them in the house because I know I would be like a woman possessed. 🤣
Keep us up to date.

@Leaf87 'racing to get some' 🤣🤣 we sure will. I was telling my oh about it the other day and he looked horrified. 🤣🤣
And yes that's how I felt. Still a little sad but mostly relief that the miscarriage is finally over and I can look forward knowing everything is as it was before 🙏

@Frankincense88 you enjoy your prosecco lovely. We deserve it. Got a massive bar of fruit and nut for later too. Will give it till Wed being naughty then im back on being behaved. 🤣

@MrsTtobe I reckon I should be due Tuesday(ish) it's my birthday that day so I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up . I am pretty sure I wont be pregnant and I am ok with that but would like to get AF so we know where we are.
@Frankincense88 worth giving it a go! Nothing really to loose and everything to gain I have heard positive things about it tho! Fingers crossed you catch this cycle then we will all be racing to get some 🤣

I got pregnant with my beautiful boy a month after my MMC (9 wks). Good luck, op. Sometimes these things just happen but let yourself hurt and then look forward. I felt absolutely crushed after my mmc and it affected the way I felt about the pregnancy after (guilt and resentment, even feeling like I wanted the 1st baby). It all disappeared when I felt ds kick for the first time though. Let yourself grieve and be kind to yourself. Most importantly, let it go when you feel the time is right and don’t cling on to negative feelings out of guilt x

@MrsTtobe it's always disappointing when AF arrives but at least you know where you are in your cycle now and know that everything is in good working order.

Yeah pre-seed is a lube that mimics CM and I read that loads of people on here have had success with it so thought I'd give it a go. Nothing to lose, right? Although like everything, I guess results differ from person to person.

Cheers to the red wine - prosecco going down nicely here! 🥂🍷

AF has arrived ladies! 😭😭😭 Im relieved in a way as at least I know everything is back to normal and working as it should. But it's never great to come on is it! 😔 So here we go officially with ttc... yet again!!🙄
On the plus side I'm planning on having a massive red wine with my dinner. Lots of coffee for breakfast and maybe even some pate and soft cheese just because I can. 😬🤣

Fingers crossed for you all. 🙏

@Leaf87 have you got a date in mind when you will test?

@Frankincense88 how exciting. Keep your energy up for next week then. 🤣 I've heard about pre seed but no idea what it is? Is it lube? We use baby oil 🙈 conceived our dd and then got pregnant after 4 months of trying but ive heard it can slow swimmers down so it worries me! 🤣

Happy weekend x

@Leaf87 cheers to the weekend! 🥂

Next week is fertile week for me (all being well.) CD 7 today. Got my CB OPK and bought some pre-seed after reading a thread on here about it. Has anyone used it? X

@msanne I was seen at the hospital 3 weeks ago and signed off. I may resort to testing soon, as I really want a glass of wine with dinner! I think I ovulated around the 4/5 may so may be a touch early. However this is all guess work!! I have had PMS symptoms (maybe ) I think like we have said isolation makes all feeling worse including PMS

Everyone keep there chin up, it's the weekend and I think it should also be sunny again. Sending you all positive vibes

@MrsTtobe - that sucks hun. These tests are expensive and when they don't work it makes it even more frustrating! I have ordered some cheap tests off ebay and am going to use them in the first instance followed up by Clearblue if and when I am "confirmed".

I am trying really hard to keep all the negative thoughts out of my head but it is so difficult isn't it?! When something happens to you that you thought never could, it bring a massive reality check and every possible outcome seems so much more "real". But in the same instance if such bad luck can happen then the opposite is also true - so wishing all of us good luck!

@Leaf87 - it is totally normal that you are feeling stressed about AF - i really hope your body resets itself soon. Are you due to go back to the Dr at some point if it doesn't resume?

I am holding out on testing at all as not sure if AF is coming for me (have all my PMS symptoms but on steroids atm). I am on cycle day 21 now and waiting patiently.....praying that I develop some patience as it has never been one of my virtues!! xoxo

@MrsTtobe that's rubbish very annoying! Leave it till next week then test... I am still have no sign of AF. I keep waking up at 4.30 for a wee... trying not to focus on it...

@msanne going with your gut 100% I said to my mum 5 weeks in before any bleeding scan anything ' I dont know mum I just dont feel pregnant, i think there is something amiss ' so maybe you do know!

@msanne totally agree about trusting your gut. I knew 100% I was having a miscarriage even though everyone tried to reassure me. Even at my 8 week scan I had a bad feeling. Even though everything was fine for another 3 weeks after that. I just had a funny feeling from the start. Strange!

Right... a bit of drama. CD 38 - still no AF. I caved this morning and did a test. It was a CB one. And guess what. I peed in a cup, dipped for exactly 5 seconds. Left it 3 minutes and it was completely blank. No line in the control window. Nothing. I followed the instructions exactly. 🙄 What a waste of money. So now im going to give it till Mon/Tues and try again. 🙈 Feel like it's a sign I shouldn't be checking yet. 😂
Pissed off!! Happy Friday everyone xx

Thank you @Leaf87. I cannot tell you - at the moment it is like one thing after another - I need to catch a break already!

@MrsTtobe - I think that is right too. It makes sense as your body is on its own clock. But then in saying that - each body is unique so listen to your own body. I know we are all overdosing on symptom spotting but I cannot believe how far I have personally come since suffering this termination. I am so much more clued up now on my body - things I took for granted in my first two pregnancies. The other thing I have learnt is to trust my gut. You always know what is best!

Sending you lots of hugs and love. 2 weeks is going to swing by and we are all here for your venting!!

xoxo

Hey @msanne glad all is ok. Our bodies are worrying things but good on you for knowing and checking your own body. I dont think I would know what's supposed to be in there or not. 🙈😂

CD36 still no AF. Woke up a bit crampy this morning but wore off now. I read today that natural miscarriages can cause more of a delay than a D&C and the average time to ovulate after a natural miscarriage is about 29 days and first period to come around CD43 is average so looks like I could be waiting another week or 2 😭

@msanne that is good news! Glad everything was ok

@Frankincense88 ((((((big hug)))))))

@msanne phew! What a relief. So pleased all is ok x

Hi Ladies,

Been to the Dr's - she had a look and basically said that it looks like harmless tissue (polyp or cyst). Apparently it is normal "scarring" that is caused post-childbirth or fluctuations in hormones....just need to keep an eye on it.

Hope you're all having a good day xoxo

@msanne hope you're ok. Yes im sure it's nothing to worry about. Let us know how you get on. 😊

@MrsTtobe - when I was checking for CM this morning, I noticed a large cyst-like lump inside of my vagina. I'm sure it wasn't there before as I have been checking myself regularly for CM.

Going to call the DR this morning - but hoping it's just a cyst or something....xx
