TTC after MC - July 2020 (Thread 7)

@Wishingfornumber2 sorry to hear it's made you feel like that. It's really difficult when you are going through this, we've all been there and know how you feel. Vent here all you like

My super thick lining fuel has arrived. Just in time if I did ovulate

@VP91x
How are you? xx

@Lollol86 much better today but getting quite a sharp pain on my right side. My periods are just so much different now after the MC. I'm going to ring my consultant and see if I can get checked out anyway just to make sure. How are you?x

Just found out a friend is pregnant. I don’t know why but it’s really got to me today 😢. I was fine when another friend had her baby recently but this was out of the blue as didn’t know she was trying. I’m obviously happy for her but so jealous at the same time. I know some of you ladies have been in the same boat so just wanted to vent on here as got no one else to talk to about it other than my DH. Anyway hope you are all ok today. X

@MichT4 That's really positive!! Most probably ovulated then ☺️ xx

Welcome @DancingGiraffe I'm so sorry for your loss and that you've had a bit of a scare! Glad it's worked out okay though. Fingers crossed for you for this month 🤞🏼xx

@MrsK21 I used to do a bit of yoga and I really need to get back into a routine with it as I enjoyed it and it's nice for taking your mind off things. I also tried meditation last time I was ttc so could start that up again maybe. I need to just be consistent with it. Xx

@VP91x its slowed significantly now. Falling a lot less than before but still more than normal if that makes sense. Has yours stopped now?
What do you have planned for the rest of the day? Hope you are getting a chance to put your feet up. I watched a few of Inge Fleur's videos on the TWW and she keeps saying "Rest rest rest!" Anymore spotting? Really hopeful it's IB, all the signs are there for you lovely xxx

@Pugprincess
yep spotty and bald! I hope my DH still wants to DTD after all this lol

@Northernsoul90 my mc was natural. The bleeding was really heavy for a week and a week later I passed some tissue. Had some spotting on and off a couple of weeks later which made the nurse think there might be some tiny bits of retained tissue.
What have you tried so far to try and take your mind off things? One of the lovely ladies suggested some podcasts which I tried. The exercise if definitely helping me, maybe you could try getting into something relaxing like yoga or pilates? xxx

@2020wish I do slimming world but never have when I've been pregnant. From what I understand you get extra healthy As which is for your calcium intake. You need to get your doctors authority to do it whilst pregnant xx

@VP91x arghhh so we end up bald and spotty 😅😩🙈 as if mc wasn’t cruel enough to us!! I feel fat today, was feeling slimmer recently 😔 even the scales said I weigh more this morn 😖 I’m ignoring it. I blame the 8 biscuits I scoffed yesterday 🤣 just been aldi to get my next few healthy dinners in, doing fish, veg and new potatoes tonight and I’ll make my own cheese sauce to add to it. X

Hi all!

I've been following your threads for a while and they have really kept me going the past couple of months!
I miscarried at the beginning of June at 10 weeks and ended up in A&E with the pain and bleeding, thankfully everything seemed to have passed. About 3 weeks later I was still having a +test so I was rescanned at the EPU only to be told that my uterus is clear but I had a 4cm dermoid cyst on my ovary (totally shocked that this was never picked up before?!).
Being really freaked out, as the nurse had mentioned "dw, it's probably bengein (sp?)" I booked a private consult with a gyno and was scanned a week later to find out there was nothing there...big phew but oh my gosh, what a ride.

So finally got a positive OPK yesterday morning on CD16, hoping for a sticky bean this time .

I have loved keeping up to date with everyone's journey, it has really given me hope! Wishing everyone luck .

xxxx

OPK update, just took this after a 3 hour hold - needed the loo and realised I'd been working since 9 and hadn't had a drink so thought I might as well. Definitely lighter, coming up as 41 on femometer. So hopefully a good sign xx

Thank you @Pugprincess I hope you aren't waiting too long! I'm definitely there with you with the mind being there but body maybe not xx

@MrsK21 Glad you are doing okay! Fingers crossed for your dip and af 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I'm trying to get back into exercise too it really does help! sorry I know you will have said but was your mc natural? I'm doing alright I need to try and relax about things though I think my mind is quite consumed by everything at the minute. It's the unknown that's the worst as I'm sure you'll understand xx

@chloedancer897 how are you doing? Have your period cramps eased? Xx

I'm doing ok @Northernsoul90 thanks for checking up on me ☺️ I've started charting my BBT and attempting to stick to it, it's not telling me much atm but I can see a few fluctuations and hoping to see a big dip to indicate AF on her way soon.
Also been keeping busy with work and exercise so that's helped loads.
Can't wait to join you on doing some digis soon.
How are you doing? Apart from being bamboozled by your OPKs xxx

@Northernsoul90 yeah I think I need to trust the peak too, my temps will confirm and if not, I'll OPK again. Typically I feel so thirsty today so I think my body is done with holding.

@MrsK21 😂😂 guns!

@Diorissimo1985 good plan on waiting, think it's reassuring to know that when you test it should be an accurate result.

I do hope I have ovulated, either to have had a chance or just not to be waiting so long.

@Pugprincess u aren’t having a good time of it :( it will all pass. Get urself a nice face mask and get a nice relaxing bath x

Poor me! 😅

Thanks guys yes il keep using a cheap opk each eve and if I start getting a darker line or I notice a change with my cm then il switch onto the cb digital, don’t want to waste those till I think it’s worth it. Yes my mc was complete and natural and happened 2 weeks tomorrow. Although I was spotting brown that got heavier for awhile before so I bet something was declining, probably the progesterone. Wow @Northernsoul90 no wonder your bodies confused with it not recognising, so cruel, glad you are getting somewhere now though. As frustrating as it is I’m just going to have to patient as there’s nothing I can do, my mind can be as ready as it likes but if my bodies not playing ball nothing I can do, like you say @2020wish ovulation could happen any day from now so just got to keep that pma. The spots are so painful 😖 like boils that never get a head you can pop they just linger for like a week. I even have a painful one in my eyebrow!!! My back hurt to lean on last night cause a big one there. I had a huge one down below too. And to top it all off I got bitten by a horse fly so my hands red swollen and itchy 😩

@Pugprincess I broke out awful bad after my mc, and just before I ovulated. So keep on going with those opks!! You never know.

@VP91x nope don’t believe for a minute it’s AF. Could be the same
Spotting, ur body has finally ovulated this month so ur uterus may very well be upset that something is wigglying its way into ur walls lol that’s my theory anyway and you can’t change my mind!!! Lol

Thinking of starting sliming world. Not to lose weight but maybe maintain weight. I know midwifes can support u joining but probs be 12
Weeks before I’m allocated one. Anyway any advice on slimming world with pregnant, is it healthy extras?

Relieved not relived 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

Thank you @MrsK21 you've all relived my anxiety this morning and I'm taking them as negative! I am also struggling with the holding, I normally drink a lot of water and tea so it's a bit of a struggle.

The cb was another flashy this morning (second one) cheapys are quite low percentage wise around 15 percent they've been. I'm going to try holding and doing more cheapys throughout the day. @VP91x has been educating me about opks.... so the lines on the cheap ones may fluctuate until I get a static smiley and then hopefully they should show as peak also. I just don't want millions of flashy smileys so fingers crossed I see a static by the weekend.

How are you this morning?

@VP91x @MichT4 I’m good thanks lovelies, trying to hold off testing until Saturday, same as you @VP91x**
I don’t feel any symptoms to be honest, had bad diarrhoea (sorry TMI!) but that’s been permanent since the two miscarriages in April and June to be honest. Spoke to GP about it and going to test for IBS ... the joys!!! 😂

Fx you ovulated @MichT4, sounds promising!

How are you distracting yourself from testing @VP91x? I’m on my day off today and I’m taking DD to her music class and doing the food shop! Xx

@micht4 @vp91x too early for gins* stupid autocorrect!

@vp91x are you at the right number of days PO for IB? I feel it could be!

@micht4 10 is never too early for guns - it's 5 o clock somewhere 😂

@Northernsoul90 I find holding my wee so so hard. I have a small bladder and as soon as I think I need to hold, I'm desperate to go! How are you getting on with your OPKs now? I know you said you've had some flashing smileys but sorry I haven't kept 100% up to date with the thread and can't recall if your cheapies were showing the same as your CBS?
Your hcg tests definitely seem negative to me though. There was nothing at all on the photo!

@Pugprincess aw sorry to see you've had a breakout from the hormones. I had something similar after my mc but it did go down quite quickly. Hopefully you ovulate soon and there's no long wait for you xxx
