🦕 Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 5 🦕

Glad you are feeling a bit better @Babyghirl Keep resting up and look after yourself and hopefully your health will also start to get better 💐 I'm currently 11DPO. Expecting AF today or tomorrow but hoping so hard she doesn't arrive!

@nuggetlover27
I'm OK not feeling to good health ways drained and no energy but that's with the blood loss so to be expected but oh just away to work so I'm just tidying up then going to take to my bed and catch up on my soaps, where r u in the cycle xx

Hey ladies
Hope everyone is well

How are you doing @Babyghirl ?

Thank you @chali7 💕

Sorry for your loss @SLCxxx 💐 I also get cramps around ovulation. Not usually too painful though but sometimes can be. Mine are usually just on one side.

@Annny27 are you in TWW now? If so my fingers are crossed for you!

@slcxxx
I get one sided pain now and again around ovulation can happen before during or after egg is realised. X
@Annny27
Just that I will have to pass the sac and that thought bleeding was easing off but its picking up again so still clearing out xx

@SLCxxx I have noticed that I get a slighy cramp on one side for about a day - nothing too painful at all!

@Babyghirl what have the epu said about what to expect?

@27donfin me too! I haven't done an opk since early December! Feels liberating haha

Ladies, have any of you ever felt ovulation pains? If so what do they feel like? My tummy’s cramping like mad and hoping I don’t start bleeding again for the 3rd time 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Babyghirl how you feeling today?x

@chali7
Got hold of them this morning but I'm OK cause I'm nt filling a pad every 15 mins but bleeding nt as bad nw and I'm just passing black stringy clots nw so hoping that's it all moving along xx

Thank you @chali7 and @Babyghirl x

How are you feeling @Babyghirl? Did you get hold of the EPU?

Welcome @SLCxxx sorry you find yourself here - I find this thread so supportive and hope it helps you too xx

@27DONFIN
Thank you feeling quite down today think it's just with the blood loss and that has me drained, but wanting answers nw as it's just nt bad luck there has to be something there that's causing the losses. Good on u nt tracking or anything girl the relax approach is the best approach good luck this month 🍀💚

Just catching up ladies

@Babyghirl I’m so sorry 💚 I can understand you not wanting to try until you have spoken to someone about it. Sometimes a break even just helps your mental health as we all know it’s not easy going through this.

No tracking no ovulation tests for us this cycle and so far it’s working for me not anxious or stressed by it all. Also enjoying dtd it had become a total chore the last 6 months was just a tick box exercise

@slcxxx
So sorry for you finding urself on this thread and your loss, its been a great support to me through my tough days you can vent and scream and ask anything you like and never get judged. Ewcm is egg white cervical mucus it's resembles egg white that's the stuff u get around ovulation or it will be watery for some people don't be to tough on urself while trying to conceive again as it will take over ur every day life glad you found us and good luck xx

Hi ladies, I hope you don’t mind me joining, been feeling very alone.

Firstly, I’m so sorry for all of your losses, and the current loss @Babyghirl, and all of the BFNs and AF since.

Congratulations to those who have their ongoing pregnancies!

I miscarried 6th jan @ 8+2, my scan that morning baby measured 6weeks, I passed it that evening following painful cramps. I didn’t have any clots but had the placental tissue come out. I stopped bleeding after 6 days and then started to bleed again 6 days later, EPAU scan confirmed all was gone. I have never ever felt so shit and down and alone. Started blaming the small amount of caffeine I was still drinking, or that my MIL bought us a baby bath 🤦🏼‍♀️ Completely mad I know.

The only way I could feel more positive was concentrating on conceiving again so started the every other day method and I spent a fortune on ovulation kits and tracked twice a day and got my positives on Sunday, so DTD, and again yesterday which would be my supposed ovulation day... now at 1DPO I just feel lost.. nothing to do but wait. Decided to see if there were others people out there also playing the waiting game and came across this thread which felt more fitting to me as I’m not just ttc, I’m ttc following a mc.

Can I ask a question? Sorry if it’s TMI.
You ladies mention EWCM, what does that mean? On Friday last week when I wiped my discharge was clear and stretchy (like a lump of goo), google said DTD, but on sat morning clear blue said not fertile 🤔 I didn’t see anymore of that discharge after that one occasion. My LH peak was Sunday evening but by then my discharge was more watery 🤷🏼‍♀️. Do you ladies go by when you have the clear stretchy CM for fertility?

Thank you

Sarah x

@Annny27
When I miscarriaged the second time there was no clots not that I felt anyway, trying to get through to the epu to ask them what's normal for a 6 weeks miscarriage, x

I was 11.5 weeks but baby was only 6/7 weeks and I still had lots of clots and stuff :S but the nurse said that the sac had continued to grow whilst the baby hadn't so I guess I had placenta/ sac passing as clots @babyghirl

@Annny27
Bleeding pretty bad from last nite not loads on pad more in the toilet have nt passed anything yet thou, only around 6 weeks so don't know if much will be passed tbh with my first 6 week loss I only remember blood loss in the toilet and passing the placenta on my pad and that was it I have had to take a couple off days off work due to bleeding to hoping it's over soon I'm drained 😭😭😭😭😭😭 x

Morning ladies :) about to ovulate I am sure of it. I get loads of ewcm since my miscarriage which I am paranoid is a bad sign but will ask the fertility doctor in 2 weeks at our next appointment.

@Nuggetlover27 hopefully AF stays away!!! Last month was the first month I have not done a pregnancy test - shows that I am somewhat losing hope!

@Babyghirl have things progressed now? Xx

@chali7 thank you lovely! Hope all is going well with you

I understand that feeling @Babyghirl I have avoided baby showers like the plague.

Covid helps as an excuse for not going!! My best friend had her baby in December, we were due 2 days apart (we found out on the same day) and she hasn't pushed anything on me and has been so understanding of my situation. Its OK to be distant from newborns, and those lucky new mums will understand if they're good friends or family.

Hope you are feeling okay today xxxx

Sending lots of good luck and love for this month to @Annny27 and @Nuggetlover27❤❤

@nuggetlover27
Thank you really hope your period does nt come and u get ur rainbow baby this month, its a long journey for us ladies on this thread but I know we will all get r happy endings soon 🤞🙏🍀💚

Hey ladies ,
Just been trying to catch up , sorry I've been quiet. I'm fed up of this TTC journey and so so ready for my 🌈

So sorry @Babyghirl that you're going through this again. I really hope you get some answers soon 💐 you're so strong and I know you'll get through this

@Fizzl So nice to hear from you, I was thinking of you the other day, I'm so happy your pregnancy is progressing well! It makes me happy to hear the successes of other MNers. ☺️

Good luck on your fertile week @Annny27! Hoping for your 🌈

I'm currently 7dpo with no symptoms as usual. Should have AF by the end of the week I think. Still hoping she doesn't come though!

@Annny27
Glad I'm not the only one can't even bring myself to wlk down a baby isle to buy her anything either, but hope she understands if nt well tbh that's nt my problem she has nt been through what I have on this journey xx

@babyghirl No thats totally fine - about 3 weeks after my miscarriage it was my sisters baby shower and I told her I couldn't face it and she said that was totally understandable. Love my niece now to bits but couldn't face it at the time

@Annny27
He said that too lol but you can't help but blame urself, his sister said the other day was I going to his niece's babyshower on sat am I wrong for telling her no I won't be there could nt face it tbh. Xx

Its utterly awful for you :( @Babyghirl totally nothing to do with you or your character its just awful awful situation and bad luck :( xxxx

Well cramps and bleeding picking up today 😭😭😭😭😭 keeping busy thou. I said to my husband to be I must be a c##t to be going through this a 4th time well 5th if you include the cp how's everyone's weekend going xx
