Ttc after miscarriage thread 4 🌈💞✨🤞

@Skl2021 ha ha at the mo - I'm feeling good!! It's gotta be those darn hormones 😆🙈...hope u are ok? X

I will be thinking of you @Bridgey8 💕

@bunnykins123 it was good! Never had it before but a friend used it before IVF and it helped..my theory is it can't hurt 🤷‍♀️..and I like to feel like I'm taking back a bit of control as well if that helps as she gave me a load of info to take away, little steps that I can do with regards to overall health as well. Let me know how yours goes xx

@MO22 I found like I'm embracing all the diff therapies 😆 and I am! But guessing it can't hurt...she sent me a load of info if anyone wants I can try upload it? Xx

@MO22 ahh u know I did ( and am still doing ) exactly the same. It's the obsessing, it just takes over doesn't it..I've actually booked in for some hypnotherapy to try and help me 're programme' my head 🙈..I can't go on like this. It's not healthy. But remember you're not out yet, it's early days and your cycle might be a bit off post MC. Plus hormones are v much up and down ( I know mine still are ) xx

Scan booked for tomorrow 🤢🤢🤢

@arianasky so so sorry my love. Look after yourself. Hopefully your GP will be able to offer some advice and a way forwards for you xx

@MO22 it's the obsessing that makes it so hard, I so agree. Those these darn little sticks that tell us when we are ovulating and if we are pregnant - it's getting expensive!! I wish I could advise how to not obsess - I absolutely DO obsess so I'm not one to give out any advice. Don't give up hope though, that stick could change tomorrow 🤞

@calimc83 ooo interested! I have mine at 10am on Weds - bit nervous about it as I've never done anything like that before. How did it go??

@arianasky I'm so so sorry to read your update. Please know you are not alone.
Take this time to grieve - we are all here for you. I've just had 3 consecutive miscarriages too so happy to discuss with you what I know when you're ready. But for now, please know you're not alone - big hugs xx

@arianasky I am so sorry this is happening. Sending you lots of love. Fingers crossed for answers xxx

@arianasky I’m so sorry, there are no words for the heartbreak you’re going through xx

So sorry to read your update @arianasky about what an awful time you are having.
Really hope you can get some answers x

@calimc83 thank you, your message made me smile 😘 I'm just sad, and also frustrated with myself for putting the pressure on cycle 1 post MMC, I feel like I've made myself feel worse by obsessing if you know what I mean. I actually just was looking at acupuncture! Your sesh sounds great!

This whole process is just shit isn't it. And reading your news @arianasky, I'm so sorry, my heart goes out to you. Do everything you can today to be kind to yourself, thinking of you so much xx

@arianasky I’m so sorry I have no words for you, I can’t even imagine how you must be feeling. We are here to listen though if you need to talk 💕

@bunnykins123 and @speake I keep hearing this, thanks for the advice - I might give it a go! I’m a nurse so nothing is TMI and not much makes me squeamish 😅

Hello all I hope everyone is ok? I haven't read back I just wanted to pop on and update and I'll read through everything in a day or two. So I started bleeding heavy early hours I'm waiting for the GP and a nurse from the epu to ring me back to discuss next steps. I had to ring EPU to cancel my scan and I broke down the lady was lovely on the phone but asking if I kept the foetus really hurt me and made it hit me that I am miscarrying again. I would've been 5+4 today so not a chemical 😞 sorry if this is triggering but just wanted to update. I'm so worried aswell as I've now had a MMC at 13 weeks in October which was a partial molar pregnancy, a CP in December and a CP In January and a miscarriage this month, I can't imagine ever having my rainbow and I just feel so broken for me and guilty for putting DP through this 😞 definitely the worse Valentine's Day ever! 🙄 anyway sorry for the rant I'll try and catch up later or in the next few days and thank you for your support all ❤️

So I've just got back from my first session of acupuncture...was really interesting! Who knows if it'll help but felt good to talk to someone about my fertility and she gave me some really good advice re improving egg quality and especially in relation to mens fertility ( no phones in pockets or laptops on laps!..) so will see if that helps. Feel like I'm doing something productive as well xx

@MO22 Glad the cat was spared 😆..hope u are ok? I keep thinking something is catching my eye on the test...so u never know! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 xx

@Skl2021 @bunnykins123 thanks guys, I definitely don't see line either, don't worry! I think I'll just wait for AF (due Wed) as am most likely out (famous last words, watch me POAS tomorrow).

There has to be an easier way than obsessing so hard, I have to track ovulation as I have PCOS but how to stop the rollercoaster of emotions in TWW?!

@speake I've only ever used FRER or easy@home which seem to give similar results. Good luck though 🤞

@flowergarden16 I'm sorry AF has arrived, it hurts when you have so much hope. Wishing you great success for next month though 🤞

@MO22 glad to hear the cat was spared! 4am - that's good going peeing on a stick at that time in the morning. Umm honestly, I'm not sure I see anything this time. That being said, could you have ovulated later? I tend to get a hint of something around 10dpo so if you are unsure of your dates you could still be in with a shot. It's true the saying - you're not out until AF arrives (hoping it holds off for you!)

@JuniperAndTonic not a nice topic but have you asked if you can use them via the rectum rather than vaginally? I originally was told vaginally but no matter how long I lay down I felt it didn’t stay put. So anyway I asked the consultant and she said either way is just as effective & going rectally you don’t need to lie down for a period and there is no mess. I know it’s a grim subject but just wanted to suggest that for you as I know I was having alot of trouble with the amount of “lying down” required & how much then came out anyway!

Thank you for the advice on the clear blue, I’ve got some FRER ordered.

Hope you’re all having a good Monday xx

@JuniperAndTonic have you tried..umm..up the back passage? I used them for my last chemical (was too late for me though 😢) and I had no mess and was a teeny bit uncomfortable for like 1 minute while it 'settles in' (gross, I know). You can walk around and do normal things straight away. If not, fully recommend - 5*

@Skl2021 until 16 weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yep, I’m getting through the pantyliners put it that way! Plus have to wake up half an hour earlier so I can put it in and lay in bed for 30 minutes after - not happy about that 😂 I know what you mean, but honestly having symptoms doesn’t help - mine keep coming and going, I was really sick a few days ago but then the next day I was fine so I was questioning why the nausea had stopped. Just another thing to worry about 😩
