🐧 Penguin Huddle 🐧 Thread 36 - TTC after pregnancy loss

@kim80 so sorry you're going through this anxiety, it's horrible isn't it. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that it's just too early to get a really accurate measurement and that everything is actually okay.

I'm really sorry you're going through this worry @kim80 it's really hard to navigate. I'm sorry you've been discharged without support. I'm keeping everything crossed that in 2 weeks you get positive news (I've definitely heard it happen, having been on these boards for a long time).
Sending you lots of love ❤️ xx

Well ladies I hope you are all well. Just an update from me I am not feeling very hopeful at the moment. Going by lmp I should be over 8 weeks pregnant but I know that's wrong because I know by positive opk that I got that on cd18 so taking a few days off I should be 7weeks plus. I went for an early scan due to spotting two weeks ago and he measured me 4-5 which to me was impossible but as it was so small he did say roughly. I went back yesteday and he measured me at 6 weeks. I have tried to argue that I know my dates and this is not a good sign I also know when I had sex his now discharged me as he had no worries as he saw a heartbeat but I know I can't have conceived that late as my partner went away to work so no when it happened.

I have booked a private scan for another two weeks time but reading on Google it doesn't read good if it's smaller then your numbers say so I am now just waiting for a miscarriage to Start or I am prepared to hear the dreaded words I heard last time when they tell me there is no heartbeat. The next two weeks are going to be so long.

@mumlili9 I so hope she is right for you. I have everything crossed,and hope your shells are the first sign of this being a magical month. 🤞 x

@kim80 and @kiki275 yeah very strange. This was the reading by the way

Wow @Mumlili9 sounds like your reading had some truth in it regarding the shells so why not hold on to the hope that this is your month.

All we can all do is hope, but sounds like you have had it all kinda fall right this month so I have everything crossed for you and your husband.

Thrush is not nice bless you, I hope you manage to get it sorted and it doesn't affect your chances.

Them pictures are lovely how spooky. 😊

@kim80 and @kiki275 these are what I was talking about

@Kiki275 im so happy for you. My fingers and toes are crossed for you.

@kim80 so do happy they found little ones heart beat, that has to feel amazing. Finger's crossed for next week.

Well I've had an interesting two weeks really. My consultant said its very very unlikely that I will fall pregnant on my own so that devastated me. Then an email came through from a tarot reader that I asked to do a fertility reading for me, she says ill get pregnant this month with a boy and that she sees sea shells 🐚 around me. Which was so amazing because a friend gave me two hand painted wall paintings of sea shells that hang in my bedroom. I didnt ovulate on cd 10 like I normally do which I thought was a blessing at the time because this was the first cycle we hadn't tried because of what the consultant said. But I did ovulate sometime Saturday (cd13) and DH decided on Friday night CD 12 that he would turn up his oxygen and dtd because he said he missed me 🥰. Well now im 3dpo and mother nature has decided that I need thrush just to pee me off. So I've just spent 2 hours deciding ( and googling) canesten pessaries and ttc, if its going to ruin the only sliver of hope I have left. What do you ladies think?

Thank you @Mumlili9 It's been a tough journey already I am only 6 weeks and already had two scans due to bleeding but finally saw a very small heartbeat today so just got to pray that next week they still see it.

How are you? Hows is your husband. X

@kiki275 thats amazing news hun im so happy for you 💗

@Kiki275 how did you get on Friday hun xx

Hello ladies just lurking around keeping upto date.
@kim80 excellent news. Fingers crossed for a happy and healthy pregnancy xx

Thanks ladies I went for my scan and thankfully it was there in the right place very small about 5 weeks so couldn't see much but was so relieved that it is where it should be. My cervix were closed so they are unsure why or where I'm spotting from. I have a follow up scan in two weeks so just have to hope and pray that it continues to grow and be healthy.

Thank you for the lovely kind words from you all. I never realised how anxious pregnancy makes you after miscarriage it is not a fun place to be but it's so nice to be with people who do know how hard it is. X

Keeping fingers crossed for happy and healthy pregnancies for you both @kiki275 @kim80

Hi @kiki275 I have an early scan today as iv been spotting for the last 5 days but it has been very minimal only when wiping and no blood so I have to keep positive at the moment. I think I'm overly anxious because of what happened in September with the missed miscarriage. These first 12 weeks are so stressful 😫.

Wow congratulation I hope Friday goes well for you. Please keep us all informed. I'm sure everything will be fine 🙂. Take care of yourself x

Just popping on to see how you're doing.

@VenusStarr sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to get your BFP that brings your rainbow when you decide to start TTC again.

@Mumlili9 so sorry to read your update. How is your DH now? I hope he's recovering well. It's a nasty virus. Sending you lots of love and hugs!

@Marshmallow123 thank you so much, its horrible to not feel more happier about it. Because of all the issues I had with the last much they did say if I fell again they would keep a closer eye so think I'm also going to request a 6 week scan for peace of mind. At the moment I'm trying not to get over excited which is so hard 😫.

So glad your scan went well and fingers crossed this is a good year for us all.

I may well take you up on the offer of messaging thank you so much. X

@kim80 congratulations!

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I’m now 6w3d and I’m constantly analysing everything as I’m scared of the same thing happening again. I had an early scan at 6 weeks and there was a heartbeat so I’m hoping that continues!

Wishing you all the best and if you want to chat to someone in the same boat then feel free to message me!
