TTC after MC - June 2020 (Part 2)

@VP91x literally LOL 😂😂😂😂😂. Has he gone back to the game?

@Diorissimo1985 I’m sorry you didn’t get answers, but also it’s good to feel like you’re making steps towards some answers.
How are you feeling after all that info? Do you know when your rheumatologist appointment will be?

@VP91x that is hilarious!!!

It is so heartwarming to see the bfps! Who is testing in the next couple of days?

I had my appointment with gynae consultant today - pretty inconclusive sadly. She is pretty sure that my rheumatoid arthritis is the cause of my consecutive miscarriages and so will only get tests after she has referred me to rheumatologist for their advice. Essentially my body sees the developing embryo as an invader and then kills it

Asked about conceiving again and she said I need to be pragmatic and understand it could result in another miscarriage (meaning a total of 3 successive losses and therefore a referral to the emc) or a healthy pregnancy. It's a horrible gamble.

I asked about aspirin and she said without knowing the reason for my losses, she can't advise it. I'm tempted to take it anyway..? Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks ladies for the support I'll keep you updated but I'm not feeling hopeful xx

PS still super Jel of all this EWCM @VP91x. I think I need to double up on the grapefruit juice 😜

@niisa you are amazing being able to hold off! He’ll wonder why you’re asleep so much 🙊

Ooh @VP91x. Go do that trending thing of walking in on him in the buff. Have you seen some of the videos online? That’ll get him off the game sharpish. Have fun! 💦🍆

@MichT4 hahaha I'm sooo excited I don't even know if I can contain it till then. My nausea is getting worse so really hoping it doesn't give me away!!

@Saim86 but I have everything crossed that it really is a new pregnancy 💕

Oh my gosh @Niisa that will be such an amazing gift for him 💕

@Saim86 have you had any of those negatives on the same days as your FRERS? If all the negatives were 27 May then I’d say this could be a new pregnancy. That said, it’s a higher sensitivity. Maybe test again on a digital?

@Saim86 it may be! Frer is a lot more sensitive so it could be still picking up hormones from previous pg. How long ago did you test with the CB? Hormones should be coming to 0 if you've tested negative already although I have seen people who's levels drop quite quickly and then take longer to drop the last few miu/ml or whatever the unit was

I haven't yet, I only tested with the 2nd frer this morning. But I have had 2 full cycles & 2 periods after MC so this is Deffo a pregnancy, just praying it's not a chemical so will test with the cbd on this weekend to confirm before I pop it into hubby's Father's Day gift bag

@Dipsy77 I totally know what you mean. Another guilty party here!
I’m not saying to stop thinking about TTC but stress is definitely a big player in things like weight loss. Your stress hormone is dominant so overpowers anything else. When I had PCOS it was linked with my cortisol. It was so high that my reproductive organs shut down because your body can only handle so much. Easier said than done but if you can try and manage the stress a little bit, both may well fall into place.
Do you think there’s anything you can do to shift your focus a little? xx

@MichT4
I don't really get much sleep due to teething 9 month old so maybe 5 hours a night if I'm lucky, I am stressed about TTC, DP keeps saying to me less stress let's try and be calmer about it and just dtd when we feel like it but I get so uptight even thinking about doing that!i like to have as much info as possible and I feel if I don't try SMEP then we are missing opportunities and wasting a month if you get what I mean it doesn't help that there's so many pregnant women and newborns around at the minute plus I feel like I'm getting older and my chances are getting lower x

Hi ladies just back from work trying to keep up with the thread @Niisa I don’t know how many dpo I am haven’t even had a period scince my miscarriage on 20th April but had spotting around 27 may have tested 1 clear blue and 2 Lloyd’s digital they were negative trued a normal Lloyd’s and it was negative but my frer are still showing faint lines 🤷🏼‍♀️ Did one yesterday then one late night and one today after work have you tried any other brand ?? Wondering if it’s hormone from my miscarriage I was 15 weeks

@MichT4 oh yes so tempting to reach for the snacks all the time. I don’t help myself though as should buy healthier snacks! X

@Dipsy77 I often feel bloated and have def put on weight since MC but think it also has a lot to do with comfort eating for me! X

@VP91x yes possibly could’ve missed it I guess. Have been DTD every 2-3 days over the last week so might have covered it if I did ovulate fingers crossed! X

Oh thank you @1990EM. I realised it’s all I talk about, all I think about. And then I try and tell myself I’m not stressed about it. So I just need a mind shuffle. All you ladies are amazing, and seeing all your BFPs is such a boost, I just want it to be a happy journey for everyone 🤮😂

@VP91x that sounds great. I don’t really know what T20 is but I’ve heard it’s pretty good. Far too energetic for me! 😂. The prenatal thing sounds good too. I’ve been keeping an eye on lots of prenatal advice too so that I can keep some sort of fitness going, I know I can’t continue lifting for long, but it’s good to keep up the things we did before in any which way we can I think.

Of course it’s definitely still our priority, but love hearing everyone’s other hobbies etc too. Are you feeling better this week after taking those up again?

@MichT4 love the goal list. super inspirational ❤ thanks for reminding us to look out for ourselves and keeping us motivated. Sending hugs, you're amazing.

The it’s important being TTC 🤞🏼

Thanks @Wishingfornumber2. It’s become so normal with being at home to just keep reaching for snacks. Will be good getting some routine back. Again, I was on a good run of eating well before the MC and since then, well....I’ve fallen off the bandwagon and it’s left me behind 😂

@HE88 ah no .. hope it's not AF 😢

@Dipsy77 I'm the same, weight has stuck firmly on, I don't drink either and do my best with healthy eating, just have this permanent bloat since my MC 😭
