🦕🦕 The dinosaur crew - part 8 ttc after mc 🦕🦕

Thanks @Equimum! I’ve got a scan booked with the EPU on the 27th when I'll be somewhere between 6+0 and 6+2.

I’ve got a private prescription for heparin/clexane on order but I should probably contact the recurrent miscarriage clinic too...

@PeanuttyButter
Hoping they give you the progesterone and everything settles awful to try and get your hands on that gs. Like I know in America all women get it well what I have read on anyway. 💚

Sorry AF came @babyghirl good luck with the scan, and appointment tomorrow!

I've had a rough morning, so no nausea for 2 days. Bit of spotting at the start of the weekend. Woke to brown this morning with bits in (tmi) and cramping all in my back. Had a poo and this brought on fresh red blood with it.
Anyways fast forward couple of hours I've been scanned and saw the little heartbeat. Baby was measuring behind where I thought but the sonographer wasn't concerned. She's getting in touch with consultant to see if she can get some progesterone prescribed for me. Has advised me to keep it easy.
Another scan book for 2 weeks time.
I'm exhausted with emotions.

@Equimum
She doing grand getting really fat thou lol, on ward and upwards for me on to nxt cycle got a scan today then an app with my rmc consultant tomorrow so fingers crossed 💚

And congratulations itssquidstella. Have you spoken to the fertility team since you BFP. If not, I definitely would. I have everything crossed for you.

spotsmama I have everything crossed that they willingly give you extra scans etc. Having been through the trauma of no heart beat at the 12 week scan, I really think you need it. Good luck speaking to them.

Sorry your period arrived Babyghirl. Fingers crossed for next cycle. How is that dog of yours?

I'm ticking along. We didn't try thins cycle, so just hoping AF will be in time bad we can move into a cycle of trying. Although we Disney exactly plan this, I think the month off has been just what I needed. Currently not sleeping much due to pup, but feeling a bit more in an even keel than I was before.

Well deffo my period a weired month never spotted like that before a period and early on cd22 lol, fingers crossed for nxt egg 🙏🤞🍀💚

@spotsmama
Ask for progesterone and to be put in touch with a gyno for early pregnancy good luck.
🍀

Thank you @H0peing, I'll maybe not ask for regular hcg then if it's not consistent. No need for added worry. I'm hoping they will suggest a scan next week if possible.
I'm just after a magic wand I think that doesn't exist. Thanks for the advice x

@Spotsmama I was told by a midwife that early scans from 5 weeks onwards are more helpful than hcg levels as levels can vary considerably even in healthy pregnancies so can cause unnecessary worry. I've been told by a midwife that 5 weeks is usually the earliest that they can see anything on a scan. I personally found hcg levels at around 4 weeks helpful, although as there's a waiting time involved for the results, it can be quite scary waiting for the results. I recommend having someone who's close to you near if you receive hcg results. I hope it is helpful with your GP. Xx

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry AF arrived xxxx

Evening, I have a phone call appointment with my GP tomorrow. I would really like to be referred for early help/support such as scans. I want to also ask for regular hcg bloods as I don't want to get to 12 weeks again to be told at the scan the babies heart stopped. Worst moment of my life! Also want to ask to check my progesterone levels.
I'm also a vegan, I think my diet is very balanced an I'm very healthy but I'd like some reassurance - my iron etc is normal. Can you think of anything else I could ask or bring up. This is my 4th pregnancy and I can't bare to go through another mc so want to do everything I can. Totally a nervous wreck and expecting to see blood at every bathroom visit. I have no symptoms either which isn't reassuring me. If I go from my last period(7th Aug) which was a cp I'm 5 weeks 3 days. I had a peak ovulation 23rd August if they go by that date.
Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thabk you x

@itssquidstella
Fingers crossed implantation bleeding for you if I have not started properly by tomorrow going to test 💚

Ugh that made no sense. What I mean is the spotting hasn't stopped so I'm starting to think it's a bad sign (subchorionic haematoma?) rather than just implantation bleeding.

@Babyghirl not really; it's still early so I'm hoping I get some. Having quite a bit of brown spotting though so not feeling too hopeful.

@sunnysideup2020
No nt tested yet lol will give it another day or 2 if I can lol, it says on letter it can still be done if on period but the thought lol.
@itssquidstella
No other symptoms thou so doubt it lol, you any symptoms.

@Babyghirl I’ve been having brown spotting on and off since about 11dpo and I got my bfp on Saturday so you never know!

@babyghirl with brown blood you never know! Have you tested or not yet?
Dont worry about scan and bleeding... they dont care 🙂

@Annny27
Oh yeah am not surprised tbh. It would be a miracle to conceive given how many times i BF and how little i sleep... and dtd 🥲
It's ok... i won't bother with opk though as i can't do them for 35 days again just to get a peak but have a luteal phase of 8 days. No point! 👎

@sunnysideup2020
I'm out to well still brown blood but will be here lol and I have an internal scan tomorrow lovely lol 💚

Well am out. AF arrived at 8dpo. Lovely 🙄

@itssquidstella Lots of people self-prescribe low dose aspirin. I hope that the progesterone and aspirin are really helpful for you in this pregnancy. I feel like they're both helping me so far and I know lots of people who think it helped them to have successful pregnancies. Yes, it's very early days for both of us really as I'm still only just over 5 weeks.

Really hoping that we'll all be celebrating our Rainbow Babies next year and that we'll find joy in the little kicks from our babies as our pregnancies progress. Xx

@H0peing the consultant said I could take the progesterone either from ovulation or from bfp and I chose to take it from bfp as I didn't want to keep getting my period and having to refill the prescription! Aspirin I’ve self-prescribed tbh and again started from bfp.

I'm only about 15 dpo so very early days!

@itssquidstella How many weeks do you think you are now? I hope the time flies by until your first scan Xx

@itssquidstella when did you start taking the progesterone and aspirin? Just wondering as different people are prescribed to take it at different times e.g. whilst ttc / after ovulation / from bfp. Did you decide whether or not you want to take heparin / clexane? I've never been offered them. I said yes to everything my gynaecologist offered me lol. Xx
