TTC after MC - November 2020 (Thread 15)

I have a bit more cramping today but less than yesterday more like a discomfort. I also had lower back pain this morning. I checked my temperature and it dropped temporarily to 35.2 and then 2 hours later back up again. Not sure if this means anything?

@TheDaydreamBelievers ah.....u have maybe just triggered off some bleeding.
Maybe rest tommorow, but yeah I would defo phone if it gets worse xx

@elsimo - that's interesting, I've had a v active day! A run, 2 walks, and strength stuff too. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes. Any worsening or bad symptoms then I'll call NHS 111 (Not that I think they'll have a clue what to do)

Ah ok I see.
I mc twins but they stopped growing around 5-6 weeks although I was 10 weeks by the time of surgical managment. So you were much further on than me which maybe explains bleeding.

After my section with DD I found I bled more if I exercised more...have u had a busy day?

I barely bled at all after surgical managment, got a negative test yesterday and bk to ttc. I am actually starting to get ovulation pain I think xx

Thanks @elsimo, it just seems a bit dramatic to call NHS 111 since I feel totally fine and it's not soaking through pads etc. I would call the maternity unit but its only open 9-5, Mon-Fri here!

@TheDaydreamBelievers
Hey so sorry to hear ur situation!
I was told that if my bleeding got heavier again that I should call back the hospital.
I had surgical managment almost 2 weeks ago xx

Hello, I was hoping I could join for the coming months.

Brief Hx - had a NHS scan at 10 weeks exactly, all looked great. Then at 12 wk NHS scan there was no heartbeat. Baby estimated to have died at 10+5 and ruled a MMC. Had surgery 1.5 weeks later under general anaesthetic (5 days ago). Had near enough zero bleeding for 4 days then just an hour or so ago turned into v. heavy period-style .

I'd appreciate any info on how long people have bled after surgery, I wasnt anticipating it increasing!

My plan for what to do next - Eat well, sleep, some mild to moderate exercise. Keep taking folic acid and vitamin D. I'll check weekly to see if the pregnancy tests have gone negative. Then once they do get negative, we will start cycle tracking again. Then after first period, try again I guess!

Cheese and onion hula hoops - that's made me giggle. My mum always tells how she lived on ritz crackers when first pregnant with me, and then later on in the pregnancy she craved McDonald's quarter pounders and could only have those! 😄

Aww @MSG92 you are totally allowed to moan! It was defo the hardest part of pregnancy for me, I sailed thru the rest after that.
Tell DH I lived on Cheese and onion hula hoops for the first 3 months and have a perfectly healthy 3 year old xx

Thanks @elsimo it's awkward isn't it, because I don't want to moan because I'm so lucky to be where I am, but my goodness I have never felt so ill for so long! I'm cramming all my fruit and veg down in a smoothie right now to shut DH up then that's it, I can eat no more!

@MSG92 thats how I felt with my DD, honestly just gagged at everything. I couldn't go into shops because looking at food made me sick lol. It eased about 16 weeks!!
I reckon thats a good sign tho because I haven't be nearly as sick with my 2 mc's xx

Thanks @Runnergirl1 and @susiebluebell.

I'm a bit relaxed but obviously it's still early days so a lot could happen. Honestly I just feel sick ALL THE TIME so I am forcing myself to eat. Eeer your cycle is really playing tricks this month, you seem to be coping well though, much better than I would.

@MSG92 that’s lovely news. So happy for you x

@Mustkeepgoing2 Good that you saw your friend and had a cry, it's what you need sometimes 💕

I'm pretty fed up with not knowing what my body is doing. CD48 today. The bloating and constipation seem to be getting better which is positive. My boobs are quite sore, which stupidly has put little ideas in my head that I 'might be pregnant after all'.. But I've got over most of the hope I had a week ago before we tested. I'm going to just keep busy, keep dtd whenever we want, and see what happens. I still feel a resistance to going to the GP which maybe is silly 😋 but I'm not 'ill' and there's nothing obviously wrong with my cycle. It's just long.

🤷🏻‍♀️

Ah wonderful @MSG92! I'm SO pleased for you! How are you feeling? Able to relax a bit now? 😉

Thanks @MoMof4xx and @Mustkeepgoing2 it has settled the nerves a bit! I'm still losing weight which is annoying, feeling sick all the time I just don't want to eat unfortunately...

I hope you get some good news with the bood tests, and this is the cycle it sticks for you!! The test thing is annoying, but maybe next time don't test early! Don't have them in the house then you won't be tempted.

@MSG92 congratulations what a lovely feeling that must have been and so nice to put your mind at rest. Hope you have a very happy healthy pregnancy xxx

Thank you @susiebluebell. Yesterday was a bad day. I have had a good cry and spoken to a good friend and just let it all out and I feel a little better about it all.

I think the thing that I found difficult was that I actually got a faint but clear line on a FRER on Wednesday which would have been 7/8DPO and then on 8/9 DPO it was negative and completely blank and then came on AF on 10DPO. I have no idea what that means but it got my hopes up and my mind started rushing forward with excitement.

Due to having 3 consecutive losses I am fortunate (if you can call it that) to qualify for all the extra tests and investigative care so I have had all my bloods taken and am waiting for the results.

Back to CD1!!!! Let's hope this might be CD1 of a happy health my pregnancy for me. Here's hoping.

How are you getting on xxxx

@MSG92 fantastic news. Very happy for u x

Well, here is my bean! Measuring 7w5d so that's only 1 day off what the app predicted, heartbeat, everything looks normal!!! So relieved!!!

@MSG92 hope all has gone well x

@MSG92 thinking of you. I’m sure everything will be perfect ❤️

@Bellabubble thankfully for my d&c my dh was able to come to the hospital with me and was able to attend all scans and things so our tests should be fine.
I'm 32 and dh is 31. I feel like I'm old but my obgyn assured me I wasn't and said it's not something to think about until at least 38 and that I'm still in my prime time. So with that info you are also still within your prime time so try not to worry about that (easier said than done i know)

@Simmy20 That’s great news - hopefully thst means they can push forward with the test nice and quick for you! I think the UK still has a little resistance to giving extra support and stuff, they seem to tell everyone it’s just bad luck etc etc - you do get the occasional great person who seems to understand how you’re feeling a bit more, but their hands are still tied by all the guidelines they have to follow etc! We’re trying for our first too - tonadd extra pressure I’m 36! My husband is 30 though so I’m hoping that helps in a small way!

@Bellabubble yes my SIL is going to have her baby any day now and I feel like I should already have one. I know so many people having babies. This is going to be our first so it feels really hard. I hate hearing people having "accidents". It seems unfair when we want it so badly.
I'm actually in Australia so our hospital system is a little different to over in the UK. Thankfully in AU we basically don't have covid any longer so that isn't effecting anything.
