🦕 Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 7 🦕

@Annny27 no, I think he just prescribes progesterone to everyone as a precaution. My only issue was overactive nk cells and the hydroxy is what treats that x

@Annny27
Never bumped it at all I would of felt it if it was a knock to leave a bruise well I would think anyway lol 💚
@fizzl
Have you got news for us ladies 👶

@cupcakesandglitter I'm on progesterone, hydroxy and aspirin, plus intralipids infusions. It's quite hard for me to accept all that given usually I'm pretty "natural" about stuff and don't really take anything unless I'm absolutely desperate!

I'm sorry you've been feeling down. Sending you lots of positive vibes. This stuff is so hard.

@H0peing I'm seeing the CRP clinic, Dr Shehata. Cost wise I'm not sure yet how much it's all going to come to. We've spent about £2200 on tests, £200 on medication (3 month supply) and £700 on intralipids infusions. Scans etc at the clinic plus further infusions plus further medication is all going to keep adding up. It is adding a lot of pressure for this pregnancy to work, because we can't keep up this level of expense! Argh!!

@Annny27
I have a black eye lol was doing my cleaning and my eye felt swollen and when I looked in mirror its black lol but enjoying my day off doing nothing lol 💚

@slcxxx

@cupcakesandglitter
Sorry your feeling like that we r always here if u need to chat 💚
@miscarriage39
Omg I'm keeping everything crossed that this is your month showing good signs for it to be 💚

Sorry you’ve been feeling so low cupcakesandglitter.

I’m 9dpo today and feeling quite icky. I woke up feeling nauseous and generally feel a bit yuck. I also had a pinky tinge when I wiped earlier (sorry for TMI). Deep down I really doubt it’s anything to get excited about, but a tiny part of me can’t help but wonder ‘what if’.

@SemiFeralDalek welcome to the group. I hope that we can all help you through this traumatic time and also cheer with you in the future when your rainbow baby arrives. I've had 3 miscarriages over the past year (all at 8 weeks or under). I think that loss of life at any stage of pregnancy is horrendous. What you have been through does seem to be an extremely severe amount of pain since November last year! My heart goes out to you! I'm hoping that you will be able to get some advice from a gynaecologist in the near future. Xx

@Babyghirl a hot water bottle and a film sounds lovely! I think it's so difficult to know which painkillers to take whilst TTC. I was taking ibuprofen but then I read in the leaflet inside the box that it can interfere with fertility and then I was prescribed codeine but read something similar afterwards about 'tell your doctor before starting this medicine if you are trying to get pregnant' but it had been prescribed for me by a doctor who knew my situation! I guess it's probably fine to take it at the start of your period. We have to do something if we are in unbearable pain! I used to have extremely heavy bleeding and pain during AF until I found out that I had a small uterine fibroid and tried to adapt my diet slightly towards a fibroid diet but I still need maximum dose paracetamol.
I really hope that you feel better soon an hopefully this will be the last period for both of us!Xx

@treesall who did you see and roughly how much did it cost? I might consider a private consultation in the future. Did they explain what all of those things do? It seems like they've prescribed a lot to support you through this pregnancy, which I imagine is reassuring. It's such an exciting time for you! Do you know yet how regularly you can have scans? X

@Herewegoagain2021 sorry for your losses but congratulations on your pregnancy! I really hope that you can get some progesterone soon. I've been told that sometimes you have to practically beg for it but I've heard that it can be really helpful. I've also heard that prenatal vitamins and Omega oils can be helpful too, although I know that the cost of them all can start to add up each month.

@apwilso I'm really bad at trying to work out my peak days with those sticks so I am currently using clear blue tests so that I can see a clear flashing or still smiley face face to know when to DTD. Very expensive though! Wishing you all the best for this cycle! X

@Conundrum12345 so sorry for your loss! I really hope that your appointment with the consultant goes well next week. I imagine that you will have a long list of questions to take with you. Hoping that it's safe for you to try again soon. Xx

@apwilso
Keep an eye on it I ovulate on cd11/12 so could be your ovulating early 💚

Also I'm just going to apologise for being so shit recently, I just have been in a bit of a black hole/recluse so I haven't been able to keep up with the thread ☹️

@Herewegoagain2021 I really hope the progesterone helps, I hope it is a sticky bean for you x

@apwilso mind tend to look like that until I get my clear positive (this month it was CD22) so definitely keep testing x

@Conundrum12345 I haven't but I'm so sorry you've had to go through it x

Congrats @treesall ❤️ can I ask what fertility treatment you're on? I've been prescribed progesterone, I think I'm around 5DPO but I feel really sad and scared about starting it and I'm not sure why?

@Babyghirl I'm on day 9 xxx

@apwilso
What cycle day r you on 💚

I made a new thread before I saw this! I'm hoping you ladies can offer advice.

Had a MMC at 10 weeks end of March. For 3 months I had 3 rounds of medical management, an ERPC and a hysterscopy last week. I also found out last week theres ecoli in my uterus which is likely due to the retained product being in there so long :(

I'm seeing a different consultant next week in a different hospital but I really want to know is how this infection will effect us ttc. Do I need to wait a few cycles? I can't imagine the environment would be best for a embryo to thrive

Anyone experience this?

So after telling myself I didn't want to do opks again as I've had 4 months of no opk testing... I'm back doing them. Curious to see if my cycle has changed. I was ovulating around day 18th.

I've just done one about half an hour ago and it looks quite dark considering I'm not long finished my period! Pulling quite light on the pic

@Herewegoagain2021
So sorry for your losses but congratulations on your new pregnancy I knw what u mean abot getting a new bfp I have had 4 miscarriages and 1 cp and everytime I get a bfp it's nt if I loss its when and I never get excited fear takes over, but I'm now under the rmc now and when I get my nxt bfp I will get progesterone so hoping that helps, I have everything crossed this is your rainbow baby 💚

Hello, hope you don't mind me joining. In the last year I have had a MMC at 12 weeks, a chemical at 5 weeks and a miscarriage at 6 weeks (no fetal pole).

So, I am now pregnant again (just found out yesterday). I should be happy and I am but I need not to become too hopeful. There are so many hurdles to overcome and all I can see are the things that go wrong and that pregnancy doesn't always equal baby.

I am taking 5mg of folic acid this time and hopefully will be prescribed progesterone in the next couple of days.

Here we go again...hoping for healthy baby but not getting my hopes up. Thinking of you all on your journeys.

@SemiFeralDalek I'm so sorry you have had such a bumpy ride, and losing your baby so far through the pregnancy must have been devastating. I can't imagine.

I have one DS and 4 losses since (2 mmc and 2 chemicals around 5.5 weeks) and it's hard to keep the faith that it will happen for us one day and we will actually get a second child. Sending positive vibes your way.

Thanks @H0peing. My GP didn't find anything wrong when she did the basic blood tests so referred me to the recurrent miscarriage clinic a few months ago. The wait list is looonnnng so I have seen a consultant privately. He ran his own tests and has put me on hydroxychloroquine, aspirin, and progesterone, plus intralipids infusions monthly.
