🦕 Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 7 🦕

@semiFeralDalek
So sorry for everything you have been through can't imagine what the late loss would be like awful thing to happen, glad you found us for support and to lean on, nothing is ever to tmi on this group so anything you wana ask ask away someone will always be on 💚

@HOpeing
For the first day or 2 I take Co codamol it eases the pain home from work and bed with a hot water bottle and a film for me lol 💚

Hi ladies, Is it OK to join in? I'm 35 (literally last week) and for my birthday present I had confirmation of a MMC. Been bleeding on and off since 5 weeks, baby never developed past 6 weeks, no hb, but was 9+ weeks before it was definite. I had a chemical in January at 5.5 weeks.

But I'm mainly suffering after the loss of my ds2, who left us at 21+4 due to a diagnosis of severe spina bifida alongside other brain /development complications. That was November just gone.

I only had medical management on Wednesday so still bleeding and having all the delightful stuff from that. I was at home so at least I had all the home comforts available but I've lost all motivation. I was taking so many vitamins and supplements pre this loss, I'd lost weight, was feeling healthy etc. I used soy isoflavones to get my bfp and am wondering about using them or not again once this is over with.

@treesall congratulations!!!🙂 Has your doctor recommended any supplements or anything for you to take during your pregnancy? I know that some people have been prescribed progesterone in early pregnancy so I'm planning to ask my doctor about that but not everyone needs that prescription. Xx

@Babyghirl which painkillers do you take, if any? I've found that taking paracetamol around every 6 hours non stop at the most painful times during my period has helped before. I used to wait until I felt intense pain to take them because I was trying to avoid painkillers but by then it was too late because it would take around an hour for them to start working and I was in absolute agony. I really hope that you start to feel better soon anyway. Xx

@kiwi17
Knocking me for 6 lol just wana lie and watch Netflix, how's urs treating u 💚

Ooh congrats @Treesall! So excited for you. Thanks everyone- feeling very pessimistic tbh and like it might not happen again for us :( on the 'positive' side at kicked in properly this morning so at least it was only 3 days of spotting this time instead of 6 although that's put me on a 26 day cycle this time which is unusual as I'm normally 29. Sorry @Babyghirl she sounds like she's giving you hell this month 😤

@slcxxx
She been a bitch this month to lol in agony a nite in bed after work with my hot water bottle 💚

@treesall
Congratulations not at all we all still here for u, we all been through the same thing 💚

@treesall congratulations. Fingers crossed for a long an healthy pregnancy. Thrilled for you x

Thank you @SLCxxx

I hope it wasn't inappropriate to post that. I'm sorry if I have upset anyone.

@treesall congratulations 🎉 I hope this is your 🌈

@kiwi17 I’m so sorry your feeling like this, life can be so cruel some times.

@Babyghirl sorry the witch showed but glad it works within your plan

@PeanuttyButter
In agony today with it and worse thing is I'm in work lol wish I could just lie in bed with my hot water bottle lol 💚

Thanks ladies. eeeek!

Sorry to hear that Af came @Babyghirl look after yourself x

@treesall I see a line too, I have my fingers crossed for you

Well period well started nw will be in pain tomara 😭😭😭😭 and I have work lol can't wait for a day off on Monday a day of not rushing about and do things in my own time lol 💚

@treesall I can see a faint line too!!!

@meganChar1 hoping that's a good sign for you! X

I had spotting for several days before my period following miscarriage and then heard that Maca Powder can help to improve your cycles. I started taking 1 tablespoon per day of Maca Powder with my breakfast in April and within two months my spotting had reduced down to one day before my period. This was before I started taking Chinese herbs in June so I think it was the Maca that helped reduce the spotting, although I guess it could reduce naturally over time.

@Babyghirl glad you've got a plan and good to get your results first I suppose! @PeanuttyButter 100% with you on that one! I had random hot flushes before my bfp in January so the moment I have a hot flush I start thinking oh I must be pregnant again and then it's just wind burn 🤣 nightmare. My first pregnancy 3 years ago I can't really remember my symptoms so that helps!

@kiwi17 yes exactly. At one point I convinced myself I could be pregnant as I was getting lower backache and the ONLY time I've had that was a week before my BFP. I even commented to my DH that I was worried I'd pulled my back the first time round as i usually have a really strong back.

@kiwi17
I'm OK pretty chilled think I have it in my head I want my results before I fall again incase I do need help 💚

Oh no @Babyghirl I'm sorry she got you 😟

It is frustrating isn't it @PeanuttyButter ? And the spotting is driving me mad because you spend 5/6 googling implantation bleeding and hoping and then get a second wave of disappointment when af kicks in properly... Plus it's annoying being on edge and not knowing whether you need to use a pad or tampon or not 😟

Well the bitch is on its way just went to the toilet and there pink spotting mine norm comes in full prop tonight or tomorrow morning 💚

@treesall
I can c a faint line on the first set of tests my fingers crossed that it gets darker for u 🤞🙏🍀💚
@MeganChar1
I have no experience myself hopefully someone who has will be a long to help u out, my fingers r crossed that they r pregnancy symptoms your getting 🤞🙏🍀💚
