🐧 Penguin Huddle 🐧 Thread 36 - TTC after pregnancy loss

Thanks @kim80 and @Mumlili9

Let’s hope 2021 is a positive year for you both too xxx

Congratulations @marshmallow123 let's hope that's a sign for us all this year. So happy for you. X

@Marshmallow123 congratulations im so pleased I was completely wrong. Your the first this year on this thread. I hope there's plenty more to come.
In my very drawn out experience enjoy every moment of this pregnancy ( I know easier said than done) but this little one and you both deserve to celebrate jumping the first hurdle. Here's to a a happy and healthy pregnancy ☺ 💖

Thank you ladies. I’ve an appointment for a scan with my doctor on 22nd so just keeping everything crossed it all works out this time!

By "weak ICs" I don't mean your results which look great. I mean that even with a strong result on a CB the ICs don't show up too clearly which is worth knowing when we all panic because the lines aren't looking strong x

Oh @Marshmallow123 that is a very strong positive (and actually shows how weak the ICs are because it takes a fair amount of Hcg to get a clearblue that strong - note to self next time I panic!). I'm so pleased for you. Yes there is a long road ahead but for today, this is the best possible result ❤️💐

@Marshmallow123 congratulations! That's great news! So pleased for you x

Good morning!

So it looks like it was a positive! I did a Clear Blue and another cheap one this morning. Feel like I can’t get excited yet though until I know it’s going to work out well.

Hopefully this is a good sign for all of us in 2021!!

That's great news! Hope it's positive in the morning :) x

@Marshmallow123 that looks positive to me so fingers crossed for you.

Let's hope we all have good luck this year. X

@Marshmallow123 fingers crossed hun for the morning xx hope you are the first bfp of the year

@Janefx40
@Mumlili9

Thank you for replying so quickly!
I’ve got a clear blue in the cupboard that I’ll try in the morning.

Worry time is a good idea, will try to do that!

@Marshmallow123 hi hun I would definitely try another brand i have these and they are terrible tests for evaporation lines. Fx its a real bfp fir you though. Ive included a picture of one ive just done sorry its not a great pic and im on day 2 of af. I dont want to be a gremlin in the room. Xx

Hi @Marshmallow123 I can see a second line. Do you have another test to try in the morning? Tentatively this could be good news but I know how anxious you must feel after a loss. I'm afraid I don't know how not to stress - I become obsessive. A counsellor did once recommend trying something called "worry time" where you allocate yourself a particular time or times of day when you are allowed to think about the thing and the rest of the day when the thought comes to you, you just gently park it for that later time. It sounds hard but it can work. Sending you lots of love to get you through until tomorrow morning!

Hi ladies. I hope everyone is having a good start to 2021. Fingers crossed that this is a lucky year for us all.

So today AF is due...no cramps which is unusual. However, it will only be my 2nd AF since MMC and the many procedures I had to have after that so I thought maybe the no cramps was to do with that.

Today at lunch time I caved and did a test.
I know it wasn’t FMU and it’s only the day AF is due so I wasn’t expecting to see anything to be honest.

However, there was a feint second line after 2min (pic attached).

Questions for you lovely ladies:

1. Am I seeing things or is there a second line?
2. Any tips for not stressing? After MMC I really want to get pregnant again but am so v scared of getting pregnant again!

@Slinks8113 don't beat yourself up about it. I had a failed erpc and had to go back and have another my first period turned up 8-9 weeks after finding out I had mmc at 11+5. I also spent the next month living on crappy food and feeling really low. I have since got my periods back and have ovulate every month by ovulation tests. Just give your body the chance to heal and try not to worry. It will work itself out again. Your body has been through so much.

Good job on new year and being fit. I am starting tomorrow back on the home work outs and eating healthy again.

Good luck 👍 x

Hi everyone - happy new year - let's hope it is happy anyway.

@Slinks8113 I don't think it is self-sabotage to eat comfort food after a loss! I think it is important to get through it and it can help to feel a bit spoilt. Dry January sounds good tho. I took a few months to get back to a normal cycle including having a cycle without ovulation which has never happened to me before as far as I know.

Xxx

Hey guys, happy new year! I've been temping since the mmc bleeding stopped and it's just going up and down every day. No sign of ovulation or period as yet - not sure how long it takes to get back in to some form of normal cycle. Just feeling frustrated but also aware that probably isn't helping!
After a month of what can only be described as self sabotage eating and drinking since the news, we've decided to do the cliche new year new me and go for dry January and PT sessions at the gym! Hopefully that will give us a different focus and also get my body back in shape.
Feel like that was a bit of a moany post haha, sorry guys! X

Hi everyone.

Sorry I’ve been absent on here for a little while.

I hope everyone is ok and that this year brings us all what we hope for.

@BellaBella36 I have her book saying goodbye it really got me through my missed miscarriage and made me realise that so many others are in the same position and thats what made me join this group as its so nice to hear from people who know what it feels like to be us.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas mine resulted in af turning up late so false hope for a few days and since then I have eaten my weight in crap lol.

Hope you all have a lovely new year and hopefully a positive 2021 for us all. 🎊🎉

I'm sorry for not posting before. This thread disappears from my I'm On and I just came across it in active threads but I should have made an effort to find you all sooner.

Hope everyone and had a nice Christmas in the circumstances. We lost a close friend suddenly in November and so we had his wife over for Christmas dinner. It was obviously a difficult Christmas for her but we had a nice day in the circumstances.

Thanks for asking after me. I'm doing well 💗

I hope everyone has a nice New Year's Eve and let's hope 2021 is the year we bring home our rainbow babies 🌈

@BellaBella36 so true! The waiting for bad news is constant x

Hi everyone, I say this and thought of us...
