Recent MC - New cycles & trying again Thread 2

Ah thank you @Ralala, I'd say your right to be honest! It's the longer this process goes on the more time I have to think and overthink, its dangerous! 🙈Xx

Cd34 for me.... arghhh I was so hoping my beast AF last cycle would have reset my body. I feel so hormonal, headaches, dizzy and my boobs are sore. BFN so a waiting game for AF.

Ladies can I ask, when you were bleeding post MC/ERPC, was it ever clear stretchy cm with tiny bits of blood in it? Have had that once yesterday and today but hadn't had it at all up to now. Pretty certain it's not ovulation cm. Sorry for all the questions I'm driven demented at the mo with this whole process 😩

@Cienega I really hope I am wrong and it is something positive for you xx

Thank you @Ralala. Yes it's probably just me spending too long looking!

@Cienega sorry, I still don’t see any real
progression. Have you called epu? They will be best to advise xxx

That's a pain for you too @SuzieDeLaTour 😣
I had my surgery 3wks ago today (8th March) We dtd a couple of times nearly two weeks later (wknd of 20th March) and I had ovulation symptoms then with a peak opk that wknd. X

@Mellous I had a smear in jan around ovulation and that's the month I fell pregnant so don't think it would cause any issues!

@Cienega oooh when they’re lined up like that it does look like they’ve been rising slightly. How many weeks post ERPC are you? when did you DTD? X
@Mellous oh that’s such a pain! I’m in exactly the same boat, my smear is due in May so I was going to try and get it done early as we want to try again in April but I’m only 10 weeks post MC. Arrrghhh!! X

I'm sorry to hear that @Mellous that's a pain! I once had a colposcopy on the week that I was ovulating and the doctor told me that it wouldn't effect me trying to conceive. That was more invasive than a screening so I would think it would be OK x

I've just been to have my cervical screening to be told by the nurse she can't do it as it's not been 12wks since my mc! argh! it's been 11 so I have to go back next week.

I'm ttc again and due to ovulate this weekend... there's no 'risk' having the smear test during the tww is there?!

Just so you don't think I'm completely bonkers, this is what I was going off, these are all my tests since my surgery. Bottom to top is oldest to newest, there is a few tests towards the top that seemed to get lighter and then the ones that came after looked darker bur now that I look at it with more realistic eyes I see that they aren't actually all that different and they are getting lighter, just not quick enough. Fingers crossed it will all get sorted at my appointment x

OK thank you all. It must just be my eyes. Been taking a test everyday so I'm probably going a bit delirious with all the lines! Probably some wishful thinking! That was the dose of reality I needed thanks for the extra eyes. Just wish all this was over and not dragging out so I can move forward 😔

@Cienega all look the same to me also,honestly cant see any progression x

@Cienega all look the same to me also. Looks like some left over hcg. It happened to so many of us. I was genuinely surprised how long it can take to get below 5!

@Cienega they all look the same Ish to me, I wouldn't say there's progression personally x

@SuzieDeLaTour @Ralala same here, I'm actually finding this one harder since having my DD ☹️

Sorry that's a brutal picked and I actually had them mixed up. This is a better pic

Hi all, I have an appointment in epau this week but I am still doing hcg tests to see if they are dropping yet. Is it just me or are the last three rising?? Could there be any explanation for this apart from my levels rising? I had completely written off that I could be pregnant in the last couple of days as I had so much cramping so assumed my period was coming early after my ERPC but now seeing this I'm not so sure! 😳 The top test is from this morning, middle one yesterday and bottom one day before

Hi everyone

I’ve been struggling too with thinking I would have been over 15 weeks now. There is a real feeling of emptiness.

This latest loss has really taken its toll on me. I was hoping to be back at work but I’ve admitted to myself that I’m just not ready so postponed to after Easter. It will mean taking some unpaid leave but I definitely need it.

Hope you’re all taking good care of yourselves x

Thanks @Mellous @No1worrier I think I’m going to give it a go from tomorrow. Another thing to add to my list to track! 🤣 x

@SuzieDeLaTour it has to be one that measures your temperature to two decimal places xx

Ladies who BBT - did you buy a special thermometer or use a standard one? I have a couple at home so I’m tempted to save myself the money! Also do you do under the armpit / tongue?! So many questions 🤷‍♀️

My best friend is also pregnant so I know how hard it is too. We had plans our babies would grow up as best friends and we would be on maternity leave together etc. It worked out so perfect but just wasn't to be 💔
