TTC after MC - August 2020 (Thread 9)

6hours later finally saw baby and a heartbeat all is well, however I was put on a drip and several meds plus injection due to sickness. I advised anyone suffering in silence to seek help nausea and sickness can be managed.

@MichT4 I keep looking at that puppy picture to destress myself! I got a big work task done today and plan on a nice sunshiney walk later, so a pretty good day overall.

@Pugprincess Normally wouldn't be congratulating anyone on their heartburn but afaik that's all early pregnancy stuff! Hope your symptoms don't spoil your weekend, I bet they won't with this lovely weather

@Runnergirl1 Sorry for your loss, sounds like you are doing the right thing by taking things as they come. I think sometimes when you are bombarded with information it can just stress you out. I'm now distracting myself from TTC worries by baking a pie, all the blackberries round here have ripened so early

@Bellabubble What a rubbish week, I hope the rest of the month brings you more joy.

Thanks @2020wish! Yet another new symptom TMI-bit worried about the bit of brown spotting I got mixed with some creamy CM today. I'm only 8DPO, I don't want a period...
@Northernsoul90 I hope your practice nurse can give you some answers, mine's always really helpful. And enjoy your meal, what sort of restaurant are you off to?

@MrsK21 Thank you 😊 yes I will do. Can you remind me did you have a similar sort of thing ovulation but no full flow period? Or was it no ovulation? Sorry I can't quite remember! I've had brown/black blood today but again only small amounts really.

Thank you @Firevie @Pugprincess xx

@VP91x Yes I went back in for a scan at the 3 week mark and no retained tissue could be seen. xx

@MichT4 Awww just adorable 🥰 !! I bet your so excited xx

My Friday is okay, I had another bit of a wobble at my mums earlier but I'm feeling alright now. I just want to know what's happening and I'm unsure whether to take this bleeding as a period or not. Will see what happens I suppose over the next day or two and then I've got the phone call with the nurse on Wednesday - not sure why it's the nurse and not my GP 🤔. I might buy a bottle of wine for tonight, nothing planned though and then meal tomorrow! Hope everyone's had a nice day!

Omg @MichT4 that pup is so so adorable!!!! So fluffy! Was the breeder okay?

Xx

@MichT4 hey! Feeling all sorts! Twitches, twinges, pains around belly button, mild cramps, bloated, heart burn, majorly hungry!! Felt a bit sick last night. Have today but more from heartburn. X

@MichT4 at least you have met her now, when can you take him home?
My Fridays been ok, been chilling on the garden, popped to DW sports as it's closing down and spent £172 😆 that was after 40% off aswell but made a start on my dh birthday and Christmas presents xx

Isn't he 🥰 I literally adore him already. She said he was the cheekiest one. Typical!

@MrsK21 he is certainly helping to distract my mind slightly. I hope he has a little playmate on the way soon though.

@Lollol86 I did, she even said that she knew how much we must want to hold him. I understand though. I did, and she said she takes photos once a week on weekends. She said otherwise it's too difficult keeping up with everyone. She was much better than I expected.

@Pugprincess how are you feeling? What symptoms have you got?

How is everyone's sunny Friday? xx

@MichT4 omg he is gorgeous, I bet you just want to cuddle him. Did you say to her about lack of communication? Xx

He is sooo gorgeous! @MichT4 he's totally adorable. I think I want a puppy more than a baby now hahah those little floppy ears and little shy face in the second pic :D

Awwwww @MichT4 🐶🥰
@Runnergirl1 glad it all went well. Don’t worry too much I did a bit of research and many say you have a better chance of a live birth. Think there’s just many opinions xx

@Rebecca1992 I will test next Thursday probably, if AF hasn't arrived. I'm not feeling anything yet, so have no idea. I'm certainly expecting not to be this month but I'm silently hoping and keeping everything crossed.

Sorry I'm not really up to date with what's going on. @Runnergirl1 it's good you have been told things are looking good in there. Difficult to know what to do isn't it but just do what feels right for you.

Just on the way back from seeing our little pup 🥰. Grabbing a BK because needs must. He is gorgeous and so tiny. About half the size I expected. We couldn't hold him because of COVID but he is wonderful. Here he is xx

@VP91x and @Firevie - I thought that. I didn’t think there was a higher chance I guess things might not be back to ‘normal’ but sure if your body wasn’t ready it wouldn’t ovulate or you wouldn’t catch again so quickly. I’ve said before we are taking a laid back approach this month anyway after all this but I still want to DTD and if it happens it happens. I’m not checking ovulation or anything as I don’t want to get myself into a mess and overthink - which is what I do anyway lol. Honestly bloody hopeless - this whole process has been a joke. I’m so glad my body has sorted itself out and I’ve not had to rely on them as bad as that sounds clx

@Runnergirl1 - glad everything went well. Such a relief! I had an ERPC three weeks ago. I didn’t have to take pregnancy test to confirm negative, my doc was confident that wasn’t necessary. I ovulated two weeks after ERPC. Went for my follow up with my doc yesterday. He said all looking good incl ovaries etc. He also confirmed ovulation. I told him we had DTD in my peak window and when I ovulated so he’s aware I may catch this cycle and didn’t raise any concerns whatsoever. He has given me a prescription of progesterone and said as soon as I get the BFP I should start taking it as I have longer cycles. I think everyone advises to wait for one af so everything normalises but I’ve never heard anyone say it’s because of anything other than dating reasons. Even my rubbish EPU didn’t say that. Xxx

Thanks everyone. All gone and things look nearly back to normal. So all clear and can finally move on. She said I should try again after af though which I thought was Just to date but she scared me by saying higher chance of miscarriage again as everything might not be restored and back to normal 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Runnergirl1 If it’s any reassurance, I had my MMC on mon 13/7, two weeks later 27/7 got my BFN and also had my checkup for the all clear. I then ovulated three weeks post MMC on 05/8. I used the CB pink digital and Fem. Everyday I updated the Glow app with my negative LH tests so it would push out the ovulation. It said I would ovulate the 05/8 and on the 4th I got my first smiley. So I assume that was the day before ovulation and second smiley was ovulation? I could be wrong but that’s what I went with x

@Firevie oh of course, I had managed to forget about BREXIT 🤣🤣
That is amazing, your children will be so talented xx

@Lollol86 yes so worst case scenario he comes in a day or two but I want him flying with me!! He needs another five years in the UK for citizenship but won’t help him with Europe anyway cos of Brexit haha! I am the one who can travel cos I have the right passport haha

Yes so our children will speak English, German (my mother tongue), Hindi (His and mine) and French (I went to french schools). So def four languages and then anything they may want to learn xx

@Pugprincess ahhh so exciting, congratulations! Was hoping to come on and see this today!

Thanks everyone, I’m convinced I am I have a lot of symptoms. Just got to hope it sticks and progresses now. Will probably check again with cheap ones next few mornings and if progressing with those I’ll buy an expensive test.

@Northernsoul90 sorry for your test and AF symptoms, I hope you are ok and I hope you confidently get the cycle going so you know where you stand. I’m a serial before AF spotter and I’ve always counted the red full flow as day 1. Xx

@BEESY90 congratulations on your BFP. Xx

@Bellabubble sorry to hear about your rabbit and your parents dog. I had a guinea pig for 5 years I was so attached to, and just the thought if something happening to my dog makes me cry. Thoughts are with you and family xx

@Runnergirl1 good luck with your appointment and let us know how it goes please? X

I’m taking it easy today and just chilling (as much as you can in heat lol). Bikini, garden and a good book! X

@MichT4 When will you test??

@Firevie wow so will your children speak 3 different languages? Xx

@Firevie oh that's so annoying. Can he not get permanent residents here? I really hope it's back in time. If not can he fly out in a few days? Xx

@Lollol86 he has an Indian passport so every couple of years he needs to apply for a tourist visa. Such a pain! But I just have fingers crossed it does arrive today so we can book him a last minute ticket with me tmr morning xx
