MC crew - Thread 10

Hey everyone, can I join? Maybe I'm being a bit premature because I'm mid miscarriage but really hoping to start trying ASAP. Plus, could do with a bit of a handhold.

Can I ask when if anyone started trying straight after they recovered from the mc? I think that's my plan...

Nice to hear you're going well @AlbiMix !

Thanks guys!

@wag1987 might not mean anything but no harm in contacting EPU for piece of mind. My first pregnancy I had quite a bit of blood x

@justwant2beamum yeah I am always telling other people this - but for some reason when DH told me he was going to be away I had a right paddy!!

I think I'm just feeling super pessimistic after everything that's gone on and I'm currently at the end of my period which I'm sure doesn't help...

My sister has just lost a pregnancy too so feeling a lot of heartbreak for her.

Hey @justwant2beamum it's great to hear from you! Fingers crossed for you, who knows it could've been a lucky time! When I got pregnant the first time (the MC) it was a total fluke as I wasn't tracking anything so reckon we only DTD once near the fertile window.

@LaurenNH agree with @justwant2beamum, you could be covered if you DTD Thursday or Friday (or both!) And then ovulate Sat.

@wag1987 sorry to hear about your spotting and pain. Try to remember that lots of people get that and things are fine, but if you're worried you could go to EPU. If you have a private scan tomorrow that should give some kind of update and if it isn't conclusive you could go to EPU after as they will check you out if you have bleeding and pain.

@firsttimemummy321 so sorry to hear of your losses, that sounds really tough. If I was looking on the bright side though, I would say that at least you've had the losses quickly in a small space of time, as it means you're now getting in line for recurrent miscarriage investigation quite early. When I started TTC after my MC I honestly was just thinking "if it happens again at least I'm closer to getting it checked out". I hope you don't have too long to wait.

Hey @birdbybird! How are you? Fingers crossed this 2WW goes quickly for you 🤞 I'm ok thanks, still super anxious about the current pregnancy, my very minimal symptoms seem to come and go so I honestly have no clue of baby is ok or not. My early scan at 6-7w was normal but I have no idea if something's happened since. Haven't bled so far and am at 8+5, going to try to hold out to 10w then book another scan but I refuse to book scans more than three days ahead now, after having had the MC...

Hello, I disappeared for a while.
How are you going @AlbiMix?
I’m I think 3 DPO so have a long wait.

Hi, I hope it's ok to join? I've just had my 5th early loss in as many months and have just been referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic. Glad it will be looked at but also nervous and not sure how long the waiting list is til they will be able to see me either. I hope everyone is doing ok and wishing everyone lots of luck ❤️

Morning ladies, glad to see some more BFPs on here :)

Feeling worried I'm 6w5days and had some brown spotting yesterday and today and have a mild belly ache I'm so scared going to end badly again. I have a early scan tomorrow so hopefully this will either reassure me or devastate me. Has anyone else had this?

@LaurenNH that's actually not as bad as it sounds. Sperm can live 3-5 days and apparently it's better if they are up there already waiting for the egg. That's why you should DTD in the fertile week on the run up to ovulation. You don't actually need to do it on ovulation day. DTD Thursday night would have you covered if you ovulate Saturday. Or Friday morning before he leaves? Xx

Congrats on the positives guys! @KJLM looking forward to seeing that line get darker!

I've just realised that DH is away next weekend Fri-Sun and I'm due to ovulate Sat which is a bit of a bummer! Will have to DTD to bookend it but it's put me on a bit of a downer to be honest!

Hey all I've been MIA a bit but can I jump back on?

Congrats @Madeoftea how many cycles post mc were you? 🤞🏻 for you.

I'm not hopeful for this cycle as my partner was away for work. I ovulated (I think) last weekend so I drove 5hrs to see him to DTD but I think I maybe had already ovulated so maybe too late but oh well! So I'm not hopeful for this month but have accepted it.

I'm also having a major busy/stressful time as I'm changing jobs so I think I'm 5dpo today which is passing the tww a bit quicker this month!

@KJLM @Luna2021 congrats hopefully May is a lucky month 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I have no idea how many dpo @Luna2021. I gave up with opks this month, I might be 11/12 dpo but I have no way of knowing for sure. I guess for me the stress of opks was just too much!

@AlbiMix Thank you, very comforting to know others have felt the same. :)

@KJLMKJLM Thank you lovely. There is a line there. How many DPO are you?

@Luna2021 congratulations on your bfp too!

So I’ve nipped out to the chemist and got a frer and there’s a line!! Will test again over next couple of days and pray for line progression!

@KJLM they always look stronger in person, it's quite hard to take a pic when the line is faint so the fact we can see something there is hopefully positive but I get your need to keep expectations low (in trying hard to do this during this pregnancy after the MC). But still fingers crossed for you!

@Luna2021 congratulations! I was terrified and super anxious when I got a BFP too. That feeling probably won't go away but try to take one step at a time.

Hi all, Che here, had to change username.

Well, 15DPO and I got a BFP. Doesn't feel real and I'm terrified.

@KJLM I can see a faint line.

@Ralala oh I hope so! The premom app didn’t seem to pick it up when I scanned it in which has me worried.
It will be what it will be!

@KJLM my internet cheapie looked exactly the same. I went and got a frer and took it that afternoon. Blazing positive. Sooooo I would say things are looking good.... xxx

Thank you @AlbiMix as I say I’m not getting my hopes up but a frer will hopefully confirm one way or another.
I know everyone says this but the second line is much clearer in real life 😂

Good luck @Pepperony87 🤞

@gizmo167 how are you doing now? Any more bleeding?

@KJLM you've had such a heartbreaking ordeal, I'm so sorry to hear about your baby boy and your MMC. I can see a very faint line there, hopefully the FRER will give you a more conclusive result as they're so sensitive. Good luck lovely!

Morning ladies, I’ve been wondering whether to post or not but I’m looking for a second opinion. I’m not sure what dpo I am - maybe 11/12 as I didn’t track with opks or bbt. I had been testing like a crazy lady since 7dpo and checking my cervix- well it maybe seems I don’t actually know how to check my cervix🙄😂
I had one hcg test left and didn’t want to test early again next cycle as it’s made me so down when getting a negative obvs and decided just to use it and well .... do you see what I see? I am so desperate not to get my hopes up as I am still in the depths of grief after losing our beautifully perfect baby boy at full term last year and our missed miscarriage in February but I am ever so hopeful this isn’t an evap or indent. I am going to go buy a frer today and will let you know.

Hi everyone, I've not been much of a poster more of a reader if I'm honest. I had a miscarriage in March and left it one cycle so this has been the first cycle since that we have been trying again. Its only been about 5/6 days since ovulation but I recorded that I had sore breasts about this time last time (even if at the time I had convinced myself it was just pms at the time) so now I flit between being convinced I'm not pregnant this month and feeling myself constantly to check whether there is any tenderness yet 😓 I have been throwing myself into trying again to try and deal with the miscarriage and I fell first time last time so was hoping for the same even though I knew the chances were super slim. I am already struggling with the idea of AF coming.

@gizmo167 is everything ok now no more bleeding? I know how you feel with my miscarriage it was only the day after the night before sexy time that I started to have light pink bleed and then later found out miscarriage. Reassuring to know you had no symptoms in previous pregnancies just makes my mind go into overdrive and think the worst

How is everyone doing? I'm CD 27, 13DPO and trying so hard to wait until the weekend to test. BBT remaining high so fingers crossed. Still, trying to prepare myself for a negative.
