MC crew - Thread 10

@gizmo167 I’m pretty certain....full on cramps , felt rubbish and was wearing a regular tampons for at least 3 days that’s were full for 2 then lighter in the 3rd (sorry tmi) at first I thought implementation but then it got heavier so was certain for AF and the BBT remained lowish. I’ve been spinning this week and bloody drunk wine last night!!! The line actually came out more after that photo and was an afternoon pee! I’ll keep doing them over the next few days to see what happens as that will be the only way to tell for certain I know. I feel 100% normal and no signs of anything just now well maybe a few cramps. last time I got a positive like that I had immediate symptoms and my BBT was through the roof.

That’s true re chemical but then wondered if it was lingering hormones? Have no idea but it’s thrown me for sure I tell you! Just need to keep calm and see what unfolds over the coming day. Hope you are getting on ok and things are going smoothly for you xx

@Blondiebrownie6 was it def a period hun?? There's a clear line, surely if it was a chemical the line would be gone after af?? Could it have been implantation?

Oh you Defos should @AlbiMix I totally get that. I don’t think those feelings will ever go away fully. How are things going for you just now?

I’ve had a spanner in the works today ....... AF Monday and normal bleeding for 2/3 days but not overall heavy. Then just spotting which is unlike me. Today I done an OPK to start tracking and it came up blazing positive :/ very odd for me so early on. I’ve just done FRER and there’s clearly a line :/ I don’t know whats! happening!?!? My BBT is still relatively low and I Defos had a period, wtf!?!? I’m not sure how to feel right now. Technically AF would have been due today!? Could it be a chemical maybe?

@spookycookies good luck, you never know until AF makes an appearance 🤞

@justwant2beamum @Blondiebrownie6 can't wait for you to join us. I hope you're both doing well!

I'd like to stick around in this one too in case I can offer any info to others in terms of my TTC after MC experience... and I might find myself here again if the pregnancy goes south... still hard to let go of those worries.

@spookycookies well listen technically you’re not out until AF so something could still be going on. Appreciate the limbo is the worst part and it’s super frustrating but just need to sit it out. Maybe you ovulated later than normal this cycle, I was CD24 in the end although I’m a bit everywhere anyways. Our bodies are amazing but oh so confusing at the same time! Hang in there x

@Blondiebrownie6 not 100% but pretty sure. Due Sunday at the latest(cycles always irregular between 28-33days) but should be getting faint positives by now.

@spookycookies sorry to hear that. Do you know for certain you ovulated ? AF arrived for me fully Monday night which was 8DPO, not a good sign! Hormones must still be up in the air. Back to cycle 2 for me now. I’ve had a good cry and a freak out but just accepting it now. I hope you at least get AF soon so you can start a fresh.

@AlbiMix I hope to join one day! Good luck to you and all the other ladies for healthy successful pregnancies xx

Lovely @AlbiMix hopefully more of us can join you guys soon 🤞🏻✨

@AMS19 yes please stop being humble, you've been incredible.

@Greenluce @Lililou I've set up a pregnancy after miscarriage support thread here and I think I've tagged you but tbh not sure if I've done it right.

If anyone else wants to join it's here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/4267522-Pregnancy-after-miscarriage-support-thread?watched=1

I'm pretty sure I'm out this month. No period yet but negative tests which I can't see changing. I got pregnant straight away after my first miscarriage I'm finding it hard to accept that it could take me much longer this time.

Stop being so humble @AMS19 😂 you in particular have offered so much support to so many women whilst going through hard times yourself. You deserve to take some credit 🙂

@Greenluce yes it's all @AMS19 she is the wisest person out there and it's so appreciated. I was absolute wreck when I first got the BFP, it was all apprehension and no excitement at all, I think that's inevitable after an MC. But just keep your eye on the milestones!

I will get around to setting up a new thread (never done one before!) And tag you and @Lililou and anyone else who is interested just let me know. But I can post the link in here too. Will aim to get this done after work!

I'm interested @AlbiMix.

Thank you! @Lollipop25

@AlbiMix Thank you so much for your advice and I should thank @AMS19 too, she is the best isn’t she! Always so wise ❤️

It sounds like a very sensible approach and I will do my best to follow your advice.
One minute I am hopeful and happy, and the next I am a nervous wreck checking for blood or freaking out after every small twinge.

I would definitely be up to join a separate group, please count me in!
I am mindful that the pregnancy talk could be triggering and I don’t want to upset anyone, at the same time I could really do with some support and I would love to keep chatting with you and the other ladies. xx

Thanks @AMS19 that's a good idea, is anyone currently pregnant interested in a separate group? Happy to set that up if so, let me know. Also conscious of not spamming others with pregnancy stuff? I don't have much to report atm though.

Congrats @Greenluce such brilliant news!!! The best advice I got was from AMS19 which was to take the pregnancy step by step and this helped me so much to cope with the anxiety. So first step, get past when AF was due, then past the chemical point, then past the HB point (could book a scan if you wanted), past when you last miscarried, etc. Thinking about it one step at a time made it seem so much more manageable.

Congrats 👏👏@Greenluce fab strong lines there.

Best of luck with your scan @gizmo167, let us know how you get on 🤗💫

Thank you @Blondiebrownie6 @MSK1 I am still quite incredulous to be honest!

@AMS19 thank you darling ❤️ It’s so nice to hear from you.

@gizmo167 I completely understand how you feel, it’s impossible not to feel nervous after a MC, but I am trying to remind myself that this is a new pregnancy and things will be (hopefully) different this time! I keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 xx

Lovely to hear all the updates x

I'm 10+6 & have my scan on Friday, so nervous about it, I've convinced myself it'll either be a molar or a mmc, horrible what mc does to a new pregnancy! I'm just so aware that this will be my last time pregnant ever so it means more than u can imagine!

Congratulations @Greenluce, so happy for you!

Hi @AMS19, I’ve been wondering how you’re getting on. Sending you lots of positive vibes! We’ve been having a month off the whole TTC planning this month and it’s been so nice. Back on it next month though, fingers crossed we’ll get a BPF too.

Hope you’ve all had a good Monday. X

@Blondiebrownie6 I'm absolutely desperate to test tomorrow morning but I'm going to wait until Wednesday. Good luck for you too!

@Greenluce aw yay, you caught it :) congrats to you! I can only imagine the aniexty , I feel like that and not even with BFP yet! I hope this one is a sticky bean for you!

Congrats to all others and those who have had reassuring scans :) can’t believe how many positives there have been! Amazing stuff!

@spookycookies I understand how you are feeling! I’m 5 days away from AF and have had some mild spotting today but quite bad cramps, could be implantation but pretty sure it’s AF! But we’re not out just yet so just and keep faith for a few more days. Get a podcast on and go for a big walk to clear your head. Sending you positive vibes xx

Hi ladies,

I hope you had a great weekend!

Just wanted to let you know that I did actually ovulate and got a BFP this morning!

I am happy, but at the same time I feel so anxious and I keep thinking it could be a chemical or I could end up having another MC.

How did you cope with the anxiety in the first weeks after finding out? Any tips or recommendations would be hugely appreciated! xx

Why are pregnancy and imminent period symptoms the same! Ahhh. Need to retest on Wednesday and I'm driving myself crazy. I got pregnant first cycle between mc 1&2 and assumed it would be the same this time but it's not looking likely. Im going to be devastated.
