TTC after MC - July 2020 (Thread 7)

Yea I work in the icu unit. Feel like I’ve forgotten how to be a nurse with all this time off

Less then a week until testing then! I was never good at waiting, 7dpo and i had the testing sticks out and ready to go

@VP91x hopefully that’s the case! When do you plan on testing?

I’ve been up from 3:30 fs I start at 7am and finish at 9pm so I’m sure it’s going to be a fun day of exhaustion lol

@VP91x I would say you are 5 also. Those apps can be hit or miss. Femometer has me at 12dpo but I honestly believe I’m only 11dpo. And ur ovulation dip sets you at 5. But that second dip def looks like implantation dip!! I’ve everything crossed for you!! So exciting

Morning ladies. Have we anyone testing today?
@renna how r u today?

Would any of you ladies with BFP be interested in a private/secret facebook group.. to post and share worries when pregnant after a mc? And support each other along this journey? I’m aware how hard it is seeing pregnancy updates when ur still struggling. And anyone from this thread regardless of when they get their BFP can always join so no1 will be left behind. I can set it up so no one on ur Facebook can see the group. Let me know.

Let me know ur thoughts

First day back to work today. So nervous. Will have to tell me boss I’m pregnant again. Feeling a lot more positive today. Lines are even stronger and progression is this best it’s ever been compared to my other pregnancies so I’m hoping

@Mommybear05 yaaas!! Ov buddies. Lol! Ahh okay, did you use the cheaper opks before? I feel like the clear blues quite good as it’s not all guess work. I have the duel hormone one. I had my mmc in April, but had 2x medical management and got my first period on the 30th June. I’m on CD 20 now. I was away last week until yesterday and decided not to take the tests with me. Did one yesterday and it was a blank circle. This morning I got the static smiley. We dtd thursday, yesterday and have done it today. Will do it tomorrow and hopefully the next day. Lol! Fingers crossed this is your month and the CB’s work well for you 🥰🌈 xx

@Renna sorry to hear you are feeling so disheartened, frustrated and upset. I think we’ve all been there- feeling like things aren’t going to plan and tired of this exhausting process- so here you have the safe space. The road feels so long sometimes. I think it’s good you’ve had a good cry with your other half. Let it out all of your emotions and frustration. I know it’s horrible not knowing what is going on but, if af does come, you can pick yourself up and try again because like for all of us there’s always next month and each cycle is the start of what could be an amazing and special gift. I had a similar breakdown to my hubby the other day just crying with frustration and emotions and he said to me we can’t lose hope. I hope you get some clearer signals from your body soon. Thinking of you xx

Thanks everyone for the nice 🍆 messages haha

@Rb486 cycle buddies haha! That picture looks like you have the same one as me... the pink one that just goes straight from zero to smiley? Ttc cycle 5 Since mc but this is the first time I’m trying the clear blue opks. But I think for this test it’s normal to just go straight to smiley from zero. What cd are you???

@SmileyT I’ve been completely not taking any chances this month regarding the 🍆🍆 haha worn out. Your bfp has spurred me on! I don’t know regarding ov. Do I count cd 14, today, or cd 15, tomorrow??? I had a bit of a twinge on my right side about six o clock this evening and the same twinge was the left last month so could that be it? Who knows haha. How are you feeling?? Xx

@Hayleylou89 Good luck and enjoy your scan tomorrow ☺️

@MichT4 thank you, I really hope you get back to normal soon too, I'm sure you will! I also have Sunday night blues. I'm WFH still which generally I enjoy, but it's hard at times and I'm losing motivation recently 😔 hopefully you feel better once you have Monday ticked off, I usually do!

@2020wish I have those pains in the vajay you're describing! Glad it's not just me 😅 I had it last time too and thought I'd just been a bit keen with my newly adopted pelvic floor routine but not done any yet this time and the sensation is still there!

@hayleylou89 thank you 🥰 enjoy your scan tomorrow ☺️ it's crazy that we can go to the pub but we still can't have partners in for some scans 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Renna I feel so terrible for you in limbo right now x

@Hayleylou89 well that doesnt make sense 🙄 maybe just have him turn up and play dumb... say oh hes allowed on thursday so I thought he could now.... you may get a nurse who makes an exception ... lol xxx thanks xx I have no signs of AF now end of day 31 ... so weird 😥 keep feeling my cervix and feels closed still. Just have no clue what's going on never happened before . I've broken down crying again to DH today . I just really thought I'd be pg by now, and now its actually taking us longer post MC than before and now I'm lost I cant even think I can try again in a weeks time and focus on that because I dont know what's going on 😥 xxx

@Hayleylou89 good luck tomorrow lovely. Can't wait to see the pictures x

@VP91x oh no, what was the tantrum about tonight? She's even sassier now she's in big girl pants xx

@Hayleylou89 is it your 12 week scan tomorrow?

@Renna good luck with af staying away too x 🤞🏻😘

Thanks @renna just read on the hosp website that my partner is allowed to the fetal medicine appt on Thursday (cervical scan) but not the one tomorrow 🙄 how bonkers is that?? ... he is allowed in the normal scans from 20 weeks though aswell 🤦🏽‍♀️ x x

@Hayleylou89🤞 xxx enjoy your lovely scan tomorrow and hope your other appointment later in the week goes ok xx keep us posted xx

Aw thanks for even remembering that @SmileyT ... i cnt wait, its not until 4pm so got to wait all day but i cnt wait he has hopefully grown lots too 🤞🏻

@VP91 mine was little bit different to urs like watery pink cm but it was after sex so could have been mixed with other things 🤦🏽‍♀️ but its very similar x x i really hope it is IB for u, i was sceptical it being so soon after ovulation but it turned out i was pg and got bfp at 8/9dpo, ( i wasnt doing opks religiously back then as we fell preg right away) but i knew id never had a mid cycle spotting so knew it was a sign...if u go on google ull see alot of ppl have had the same and it looks just like urs xx

@Pugprincess I know the kids party thing I can relate to as well, I try to avoid because I'm the childless one and just kind of feel like a spare part. It's so true though that people may have been through struggles we aren't aware of. It's a very conflicting feeling as I am genuinely happy for others having babies but it's just like a twinge of sadness you feel for yourself and what you've lost - it stings. You don't sound selfish it's something a lot will relate with 💕 xx

@2020wish I thought round ligament pain was more of a 2nd trimester thing when your uterus started growing can't say I've noticed it myself although loads of cramps and twinges, did you have it with the previous pregnancies? x

@Hayleylou89 hope you enjoy seeing your baby boy tomorrow x
