TTC after MC - August 2020 (Thread 11)

@VP91x oh don't say that I think it's going really slow 😂😂 today we have been to town to sort out school shoes and a few other bits, I've just got back from meeting my friend for a quick catch up. Bloody shattered now. Only thing planned for this weekend is we are going to the out tomorrow for lunch, I literally can't wait for pub chips. Do you have much planned? Xx

@VP91x very similar situations then! Yes, I'm going to be sticking to the same calorie amount as you. I've found that the "MyFitnessPal" app helps me track that very easily. We will get there! x

I've not contacted a Dr yet about my mc because I'm moving house in the next couple of weeks (London to Cornwall) and there didn't seem to be a point in starting the ball rolling up here. I hope it doesn't come back to bite me if I have another mc or there are other issues

Hi ladies, it seems a few of us are in the same boat. I've also had my bloods done twice (due to the irregular periods, my doctor was just shooting in the dark in terms of when to take them). First one I had was

Thanks @MichT4 I'm still hoping that will we're sorting things out it'll happen naturally but I'm really glad we've got a plan for moving forward

@VP91x we're going to sort out saving first as we were planning on a house move but I think we're both agreed to put that on hold just now.

@Northernsoul90 Congratulations Auntie!

Congratulations on your niece @Northernsoul90 🥰🥰 xx

@Pugprincess @MrsK21 @Lollol86

Thank you 🥰 they are both doing well. I thought I might feel a little bit funny with all the new baby hype but turns out I'm the worst one for it and instantly rushed out to buy girl outfits and am demanding constant pics 😂. Over the moon xx

@Northernsoul90 congratulations auntie, oh wow so tiny. Glad they are both doing well xx

Aww congrats on becoming an aunt again @Northernsoul90 hope your sis and baby are both doing well xxx

Aunty @Northernsoul90 🥰

@Northernsoul90 aww congratulations 🥳 so small, love it when they are tiny ❤️ Glad they are doing well xxx

Thanks all, baby is here a little girl weighing 4lb 8oz which is the exact same weight her big brother was! Both are doing well and as of yet she hasn't needed to go into the NICU 🤞🏼💖.

To all the ladies struggling to get bloods taken and results - I used medichecks online for mine & they write a full report from a doctor who specialises in that area to explain exactly what each of the results means for specific tests. It’s amazing!!!

Hey 👋🏻 no it wasn’t a lot. I have a pic if anyone wants to see 😬 I had a right funny turn when I woke up, really dry mouth and weak, made me have a panic attack and I’m home alone 😔 rang husband and calmed down. Eaten now. Think I need to take a snack bed with me incase I get like that again. Also a smell coming from toilet was awful, I don’t know what it was but it smelt strong. Dunno if it was my toilet cage rim block thing playing tricks on my nose? Smells ok now 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve attached gross pic of discharge but just done enlarge if you don’t want to look lol. I will take it super easy today and this weekend. No more long walks. I was really struggling half way round. Just shuffling and waddling already 😅 was in ugg type boots tho, I don’t walk the best in those lol. Scans next Friday 8.20am. Il be nervous this week cause by thurs I’m approx 6+4 which is when baby ran into trouble before and I started with lots of dark brown spotting. Like it was on tissue after most wees and was dripping into toilet and on floor when stood up. This stuff I’ve been getting has been in discharge so different for me. I know years ago I had some cervical erosion (I tend to bleed at smear tests etc) x

@MichT4 fingers crossed for you tmr morning then! OH is fine thanks. He will leave tmr and then I still have two weeks at home with my parents. So I’m hoping for my peak when I’m back in London so we don’t miss our window
Have a safe journey back xxx

I meant to ask as well, as I’m on cd5 now would everyone else start trying again or would you wait?

Morning all, how is everyone? Finally rang my gp yesterday to ask for bloods (antibodies, blood clotting etc) and she can’t do them and can only do the 21 day progesterone.
Only the hospital can do them. I’ve been referred to gynaecology (we don’t have a recurrent miscarriage clinic) and there’s an 11 month wait. So after a bit of a melt down yesterday we’ve decided to have some tests done privately. Hopefully will get an appointment with the consultant within 4 weeks. I’m hoping as my luteal phase is only 10 days they’ll listen and give me progesterone.
Really annoys me that the only person who seems worried about my 3 miscarriages and wants to get to the reason why they happens is me 😩

@Northernsoul90 I'm onto my 3rd flashy this morning but better news is that my second bleeds seems to have calmed right down so I'm carrying on as normal today and sticking with CD11. Hoping I get my peak soon - the lines on the stick seemed much darker today.

How exciting for you! Hope all goes well with the c-section, let us know how she gets on!

@Pugprincess when I was pregnant I had that after long walks / gentle exercise too. I wouldn't worry about it too much - sounds like your cervix is just super sensitive. not long till the scan now! xxx

@Northernsoul90 wow that's early for baby to come, I bet the baby won't weigh much. Keep us updated xx

@MichT4 have a safe journey back xx

@Pugprincess make sure you rest up today, is your scan next Friday?

Not much of an update form me,
I think I'm getting slight waves of nausea but still wondering if it's just in my head, I also have some slight boobie pain last night. I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow so still early but hoping my symptoms are not starting to kick in xx

@Northernsoul90 it's been lovely, definitely needed.

@Northernsoul90 @Firevie I haven't tested since Monday now so I'll test tomorrow morning I think. If it's negative, then I'll know but if it's still faint I'll call the doc. Thinking about it I probably will call even if it's negative as still no sign of AF.

How are you? Hope OH is recovering well? xx
