🦕 Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 5 🦕

@Babyghirl thank you. Sorry to hear about your losses, good luck with this cycle You all seem so resilient on this thread so I'm sure I'll find it helpful! I haven't been for bloods apart from getting my HCG checked. I will get in touch with the obstetrician who I was going to be under I think to ask for her advice and go from there.

@kiwi17
I'm CD 21 today but don't ask how many dpo is could nt tell ya 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm just going with it and remember no symptoms could be good to lol I'm sitting in working wanting a big turkey dinner but instead I had a fry this morning lol my oh away to work nw to so won't c him till the morning. 💚
@miscarriage39
Hope so I knw a women who thought she was going through the menapose at 47 and turned of she was pregnant naturally, hoping I don't need ivf with how long you been trying to conceive for 💚
@itsMeantToBe
Sorry you find yourself joking us but glad you found us for support I have had a cp pregnancy and 4 miscarriages doc told me a cp is the body knew from egg was fertilised that it was nt right and would never of been a viable pregnancy, have you been to c your doc to get bloods or maybe a scan to check the urters 💚

Hi, is it ok if I join? I've recently had my second chemical pregnancy. We were trying but not ttc. Now we're so desperate to be pregnant again. I've ordered ovulation sticks and FRER tests for my next cycle. I'm going to continue taking my folic acid and look into other vitamins too. Is there anything else you ladies would recommend? Any experience of CP's (sorry I haven't read many of the previous posts!).

Babyghirl I’m sorry you have been through so much. I really hope you have a successful pregnancy before that IVF appointment comes through. Thank-you for the advice. I’m 39, so I totally get the fear about having left it too late, but fingers crossed that it’s not the case for either of us.

Hi Kiwi17, and thanks for the reassurance. I’ve just restarted on the Pregnacare Pre-conceive that I still had the cupboard, and I’m also taking co-Q-10. hopefully the benefit of the pregnancy vitamin will really help you.

@Babyghirl hahaha I know what you mean! Think that's why I stick with the pregnancy multivitamin so that I don't have to remember more than one in the mornings 🤣 so far ok, 7dpo and trying to not symptom spot especially as I've not had my period since the mc yet so not entirely sure when to expect it! It's all just a guessing game really. Gave it our best shot and now I'm forcing oh to redo the patio and decorate our bedroom to keep my mind occupied in the tww! How you feeling this cycle?

@kiwi17
Think I just want to buy ever vitamin going but then I will rattle as I wlk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 got the b6 and my folate I have learned that vitamin b messes with my cycles so staying away from that lol how u feeling in this cycle 💚

Hiya @Miscarriage39 nice to see you over on this board too! 👋 the ladies here are lovely, @Babyghirl is right like a big family and everyone is rooting for each other which is nice :) hope you manage to get sorted this cycle with what you want to in terms of vitamins etc. I've actually continued to take my asda pregnancy vit instead of going back to just folic acid when ttc and hoping that will help things! Hopefully help me feel a bit healthier anyway! 🤣

@miscarriage39
Sorry to see you having to join r thread but glad you found us for support, sorry to hear about your loss its hard to go through look after yourself this thread has been like a wee family to me through the ttc journey and no question is out of order to ask. I have had 4 miscarriages and one cp now been put on the ivf list but told it can take up to 12 months to continue to ttc and if I still need it it's there hoping nxt pregnancy is a success for me, one thing I will say is try and relax easier said than done but it does help took me a year to fall first 3 times I think it's because I was so stressed but after my 3rd loss It only took ten weeks to fall again I took the relax approach thou I'm coming 38 in June so hoping I nt left it to late 💚💚

Can I tentatively join pleas ladies? I found out I had miscarried at my 12 week scan at the beginning in March, had medical management that day, which was incomplete, and then surgery the following week. I have just got my first period, and we are planning to TTC again ASAP, but probably not this month as I need dental work done under sedation and need to make sure my iron levels are okay, as have been having treatment for anaemia, resulting from heavy blood loss. I am, therefore, planning to use this cycle to get into better shape, get on top of vitamin, positive thinking, eating etc.

@Annny27
Just checked I'm cd21 today lol so only 6 or 7 days to the witch shows her ugly head going to phone the recurrent miscarriage clinic on Wed as I was referred nearly a year and a half ago so going to c how much longer I have to wait as I'm 38 in June so time nt on my side 💚

@Annny27
I'm nt even counting dpo I'm just going with it lol all that checking stresses me out lol had a night playing bingo last night with the oh and his mate and wife we got talking and she herself is going down the ivf root so nice talking to someone on the same journey as myself. 💚
@kiwi17
Fingers crossed for all us ladies we will get there just taking abit longer to achieve it but will make it all the more special 💚
Happy Easter everyone I'm in work two till ten so not much off one for me 😂😂😂😂😂😂💚💚

@Annny27 it definitely is and because it was so recent I've logged all my symptoms on my app so now I'm looking back to January like- ooh I had a sore throat 7dpo last time and I have one today so maybe that's a thing 😂😣 nightmare. I need to chill put seriously! @Babyghirl that is such a lovely offer 🤞 you don't need it though and this month is your month!

Just taking it slow this month girls and trying not to think of things too much. Glad to get the chance to see family in the garden today even if it was chilly! Felt a lot happier today because of it :)

@babyghirl that's sooo lovely of her ❤❤❤ hows the tww for you?

@kiwi17 I think it's worse when we have been pregnant before so we KNOW what to look out for haha!

@Annny27
Just have to get on with it I suppose lol, was speaking to brothers oh today she and my bro has had 4 kids and she said if all fails she will carry one for me so I'm holding on to that 💚

@Annny27 hahaha I know 🙈 start off being all 'Not gonna Google anything just going to take it chill' and end up googling the weirdest things like 'flushed face 9po' which weirdly was a symptom last time round 😂😂

@kiwi17 fingers crossed!! I hate the tww haha. Constantly googling and thinking "is that implantation or bowel cramps " haha

@nuggetlover27 glad that they have upped your dose! It is quite an increase in dose but hopefully does the trick of preventing any neural tube defects ❤❤

@Annny27 I'm 3dpo today so similar to you - 🤞🤞 for our rainbows :)

@Annny27 sorry crossed posts! Yes I have to up my folic acid because I have a high BMI. I have got them from the dr today and started them and will take them until the scan so should be 14 weeks. They are 5mg , seems high seeing as I was only taking 400micrograms! But hopefully it will be okay!

My fingers are crossed for you! ❤️

@@nuggetlover27 lovely to hear from you ❤❤ I can understand your concerns but as they have said this is normal for 12 weeks I would try and relax. So hard to though. Have they said to up your dose of folic acid in the meantime?

@babyghirl love your attitude ❤

I am 2dpo now so tww!

❤️❤️ thanks @Babyghirl going to try and stay away from google and try and stay positive

@nuggetlover27
Try to stay positive listen to what they told you baby has a heart beat and looks good and that it's norm for 12 weeks unless you will be worried sick the nxt 2 weeks. Baby will be just fine stay off Google by the way its not good for r minds and congratulations 💚💚

Hi ladies.
Hope you are all well! Sorry I've been quiet. I had to stay off MN for my own sanity whilst waiting for my 12week NHS scan.
I had it today and all was quite positive! Baby looks good and has a heartbeat so that's good. The only thing they mentioned was that the skull wasn't yet formed over the brain so I have to go back in 2 weeks for another scan to check it has. Although she said this is "normal" for 12 weeks I can't help but think of the worse and unfortunately I have been worrying about this all day now and google has not helped! I don't know why I google things!

Sending you all baby dust ❤️

@kiwi17
Ladies I'm with ya on the ttc train again lol but please go easy on urselfs easier said than done I knw but stressing will get us no where girls been there 3 times and 4th time I fell ten weeks after my 3rd miscarriage cause I just went with the flow dtd often no tracking and just enjoyed time with dp as timed sex is awful 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm cd17 today and really feel like my period is about to start lol 💚

Oh @Justwanttobeamum I know how you feel - I think I'm hopeful this month but even though we got a positive opk and dtd around the right time I know the chance is unlikely and have pretty much given up on my 2021 baby :( but on the plus side if it works for you this month you might give birth 5 days early?? Hehe! Fingers crossed for you and enjoy some chocolate tonight 🙂

Thanks girls. @kiwi17 I feel ok. I'm a bit gutted not to be pregnant straight away but in my head I knew not much chance. Hopefully I'll catch ovulation on my opks this month then I'll feel better. I am glad I haven't had to wait like 6 or more weeks for AF as I have heard of that before.
That's good you're 3dpo!! I think if I did ovulate it was right at the end of my mc bleeding as I thought I had quite high opks and some ewcm but I started the opks a bit late as I thought it defo wouldn't happen till I stopped bleeding! So I either missed it or didn't, but either way obv didn't catch cause I have AF.
Bit sad, that was my last chance at a 2021 baby. If I catch this cycle my due date will be 5th jan 2022. Yep first thing I checked this morning!
