MC crew - Thread 10

Hi everyone x

Totally understand the anxiety, I'm now 6+6 and I had a little bleed on Saturday night, only light pink blob in the loo and a little when I wiped but nothing really since, totally freaked me out as this was how my both mc's started! We had sex on Saturday morning so maybe thinking it could have been that but cant understand why it took until the evening time for the bleed???

Anyhow, be glad you dont have symptoms girls! I didnt have much with any of my pregnancies, with my DD I had evening sickness and it was manageable but this one, OMG, its constant 24/7 nausea and I cant manage to get a call back from the Drs!!!

@AlbiMix thank you for your response. Yes the lack of symptoms is worrying. I'm glad they found HB this time for you and fingers crossed your pregnancy continues well. It's so hard not to convince yourself of the worst happening but if another scan will reassure you then go for it. I think I will be the same as you will want another scan around 9/10week mark if all goes well next week. Waiting until 12/13 weeks is such a long time especially when been through miscarriage as anxiety all over the place for all of us.

I will keep you posted.

@PlantMummy87 so sorry to hear about your bleed, that sounds very scary but so glad it was alright and a cause was found for the bleeding.

Hey @wag1987 I'm the same as you, still don't have many symptoms and now at 8 weeks. It's scary because you read that having strong symptoms is a sign of a healthy pregnancy but I'm trying to remind myself that there can be healthy pregnancies without strong symptoms and vice versa.

I had a private scan at 6+3/4. With my MC, my bleeding began at 7+3 but a scan showed the baby hadn't reached passed 6w and I don't know if it ever developed a HB, so I wanted to check if this one was going in the same direction. Although it's early, it should be possible to see an HB at that time. My scan showed a HB and baby was measured slightly bigger at 6+5/6 and they didn't need to do a transvaginal scan, just the abdominal one but I was fully expecting an internal one. I did find it slightly reassuring although I'm still trying to keep low expectations. I've had days this week where I've been convinced baby has stopped growing because my minimal symptoms have even lessened. I'm planning on booking another scan for between 9 and 10 weeks if I don't bleed before that.

Sorry for this long post - I don't know if it'll help but I don't think it's too early to have the scan if you're anxious. The place I go to does a second scan for free if the first one is inconclusive so that also helped me decide to have it so early.

Keep us posted lovely!

@PlantMummy87 Oh my that sounds scary for you, but glad everything is going well for you :) yes I'm hoping all good news next week and should be able to stop worrying so much (in theory) I think I'm going to be nervous throughout this pregnancy.

Hey @wag1987, I completely get the anxiety. I've been exactly the same. I moved my scan up earlier to 6+4 due to this too. But then equally I was also was worried it would be too early to see much (my previous pregnancy I didn't get to the point of a scan so wasn't sure what to expect), luckily the scan was clear and showed a heartbeat. It did unfortunately only reassure me for a few days as from 7+3 I had a big bleed (my previous pregnancy that ended at 7+4 so felt like such a bad sign), so had to have another scan at EPU at 7+4, luckily everything was all okay and the bleed was found to be from a subchorionic hematoma. It has meant that my worry has definitely increased, and I had second private scan recently at 9+2 as I wanted to check everything was okay and if the hematoma was still there. I'm now 10+3 and really itching to get to my 12 week scan to check again. Not sure when or if the anxiety will ever go but it is completely understandable with what we've been through. Also symptoms may or may not be just around the corner for you, I didn't really get many symptoms until around mid week 6, and then they really ramped up at around mid week 7, but everyone is different and they may start earlier, later, or not at all, not that me saying that helps much at all, sorry.
Sending you lots of love through this worrying time xx

Hey all, due to have an early scan next week where should be 6+6 days. It feels like such a long wait and tempted to move it sooner like Wednesday and be like 6+3 has anyone had a scan this early before? I just don't feel pregnant, maybe because I don't have any symptoms I don't know but desperate for reassurance either way.

Clock*🤦‍♀️😂

Hi all, hope you don't mind me joining in.
Had mc at 12 weeks way back Xmas day 2009, DD 2010, DS 2012, really felt like I would regret not have 1 more baby (nearly 38 so click is ticking) so came off the pill in sept 2020 to ttc ,had another mc in February. Cycle have lengthened from 28 days to 34/35, which is a pain🙄. Currently on cycle 2 since mc, CD14. Using CB opk ( 2 day peak ones), didn't get a peak last cycle so assume I didn't ovulate. Here's hoping I do this cycle. Best of luck to everyone🤗

Hi all,

Been a while since I posted here. Thanks for new thread @AMS19, hope you're well! Mostly been on the TTC after ectopic thread but also talking a bit of a break from MN here and there.

We're on our second month of TTC after it all. The first BFN month hit me harder than I thought, think AF has just shown up today for second month but just spotting so far. All tests BFNs so far too. Not expecting it to happen this month tbh but thinking I'm dealing with it better this month than last.

I read someone's post that they like to treat themselves to something on a BFN month so I'm thinking about something nice to do or buy. Any ideas ?

Thanks for setting up a new thread @AMS19.

I'm also feeling super anxious right now. I got my bfp two days ago and af was due today and I've had a tiny bit of spotting (more like light brown discharge) and mild cramps for most of the day. I'm hoping it's implantation bleeding but I'm really worried about a chemical pregnancy

Just popping on this thread, Iv dipped in and out of previous threads, found them very helpful for support and advice! Thanks for creating the new one @AMS19
TTC #1 at age 38, cycle #2 since MC in March,
Fingers crossed for everyone xx

@J785948 so sorry your going through this, be kind to yourself. Thats a tough 12 months, Ive found it a hard 12 months as well since our first MC in April 2020.

Today I woke up to a pregnancy announcement in one of my friends whatsapp groups, then another friend in the same group posted her pregnancy announcement... I just laughed, like seriously 😳 I am gutted that I feel like this I want to be happy for my friends, but I feel so sad, and wish I could share some good news.

Thanks @AMS19 for setting up the new thread 💞

@Ralala same here I'm 5 +4 and super anxious with no symptoms.

@J785948 so sorry hun xx

@Ralala exactly same here hun, feeling super anxious! I'm 6+3 today, farther along than with the other 2 mc's and feeling absolutely crap, sickness really here, all day!

Morning ladies, how are we all? Thanks for the new thread . Would hate to lose you all.

I’m doing ok. Over 5 weeks now but feeling very anxious about it all. I’m sort of pretending I’m not pregnant as I don’t want to get too invested. Like I keep saying, Amal steps xxx

May I join? I have tentatively posted on previous threads but not massively.

Have just had my 3rd MC sort of confirmed by the EPU. Currently 6 + 1. Hormones are still rising albeit slowly - hoping that it happens naturally over the next few days. If not, back for another scan next week for medical management.

Previous MC were a MMC at 9 weeks in May 2020 and very early MC at 5.5 weeks Nov 2020. It has been a tough 12 months to say the least.

Will most likely be trying again as soon as we can. Sorry for all of your losses.

Xx

Hi all,

Thanks for setting up the new thread @AMS19. Hope you’ve all had a good day.

I’m thinking about doing the same, @KJLM. The tracking is making me really anxious and I had a really delayed O this month, I gave up on OPKs as I thought I’d missed my peak but then ovulated a few days later.

Sadly going to have to have a month off TTC. Our rearranged wedding is early next March so I can’t risk being 9 months pregnant. It’s so annoying, third time lucky now for the wedding. Bloody Covid!

Hope everyone is ok x

Hello thanks for setting up the thread @AMS19

CD8 here and I ovulate earlyish but was negative opk today. Plus down with a cold.

Thanks for setting up @AMS19

Congrats on BFPs and good luck to those in TWW , I dip in and out of this thread and it gives me so much hope, it’s so great to see the positive outcomes!! Still waiting for AF here, it’s been just over 9 weeks since medical management!!! Sure I ovulated last Monday though based on OPK and CM and my temps have been going up so hoping it arrives Sunday/Monday and I’ll be back on the TTC bus as I was away when I ovulated...typical!

Hang in there ladies xxx

Thanks @AMS19 !

Thanks @AMS19 for setting this up. Definitely not ready to be without this group of amazing ladies!

I’ll join as well although I tend to read and not comment as much. Thanks for starting @AMS19 and good luck with everyone’s journeys xx
