🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 5 💕✨🤞🌈

Welcome @SillySquirrel and @Pearl93. So sorry you find yourselves here but I hope you won't be TTC your rainbow babies for too long.

@arianasky how did you get on with work this morning? Have you managed to get some more time off? Definitely don't feel guilty, you need to look after yourself with everything you've been through ❤️

@ArcEnCiel2022 it is such a disappointment To hear that Gabriel wouldn't be the one to welcome you 🤭😍

@calimc83 im so sorry af got you 😞 how are you doing?

@speake that progesterone is through the roof!! I don't know much about hcg levels but the numbers look great ☺️

@aesgriff im sorry your spotting is still going on. Is it just blood or is it mixed with mucus? Mine isn't pissing off either and I've now come down with something, so I can't tell whether my aches are from that or of something bad is going to happen. I really hope epu don't fob you off, keep us updated and thinking positive thoughts for you ❤️

Hi @Sparklesurprise29! Nice to have you back. You still have time 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Sparklesurprise29 welcome back! I think 9dpo is still super duper early so you are still in with a chance 🤞good luck with testing tomorrow - keep us updated!

Thank you everyone ❤️ you're all so amazing and helpful and supportive I really appreciate it. I contacted work and they were amazing and said take as much time as I need and offered counselling. I turned the counselling down last time as I wanted to just forget about everything but think I may do it this time so I can grieve and deal with my emotions properly. Has anyone else had any sort of counselling or therapy at all?

Still no O for me today I'm CD15 now but my OPK was 0.14 yesterday morning and 0.40 this morning so hopefully going in the right direction, still a blank circle on CB aswell but I never usually get a flashing smiley anyway. How is everyone else? 💕

@aesgriff how far gone are you again? I know it's so hard but try not to panic just yet - the fact it's gone brown is good as that's old. I'd say fairly likely but maybe if you demand to be seen they will see you given your history?

Hi everyone! Not been on this thread since last 2WW 🤔 took a little break after my early AF last month☹️ currently 10DPO.
Did a frer last night and BFN at 9dpo, not even a squinter!! probably wrong time to do it but was so tempted🙈 plan is to test at 12DPO if I can last that long/AF hasn't arrived!
Congratulations to all the BFPs!!😍😍 definitely keeps you going in the hope that it'll happen again💕

Just rang EPU and left a message. Light red rpotting started again last night and going on again this morning but more of a brown. I’ve also had terrible backache and period type pains. Not feeling very confident at all with this pregnancy 😞 what do you think the chances are that I’ll get a ‘keep an eye and test in a weeks time’ 🙄 xx

@bunnykins123 thank you 🤍

@calimc83 Sorry to hear this, sending you love 💜
Remember though if AF doesn't pick up and it's only spotting to maybe test again 💜

@speake here you go, hopefully this will reassure you 💕

Morning ladies - just catching up today after having a night out last night, now feeling very unenthusiastic about work. I've also lost my glasses so I can't see too well...🙄

@speake there is such a range when it comes to HCG, there is actually a chart online that I can find for you that shows the variation. Your numbers actually look really good! Maybe get your GP to look at your prog numbers? Mine when using the bump pellets around the same time we're 67.

@calimc83 oh no! I'm so sorry, AF is such a party pooper 😒

@arianasky I think you need to look after yourself right now and if you need more time then I'm sure your work will accommodate. Equally, if you think they will be weird about it, you can always ask the GP to sign you off work for another work for stress. I hope you're doing okay 💕

@speake I remember that feeling very well in the past 🤣 I would test early and then it would come to the day my AF was due and think shit I haven't even missed a period yet and it feels like I had a positive test years ago 😅
6DPO today for me and I think because I'm logging in temps everyday it's making it feel so slow x

@arianasky sending you a big virtual hug ♥️♥️ Xx

@speake exactly what @HoneyLemon29 said! Whilst my levels have been high my pregnancy hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. Lots of spotting (more again last night and bad cramps), no sac, irregular sac etc. Everyone’s different but hopefully when you’re next set of results come in you’ll see a rise 🤞🏻Your progesterone is crazy high! I did read that too much progesterone cannot harm you so I think you’re okay with that level xx

@calimc83 I’m so sorry 😞I was really rooting for you this month xx

@HoneyLemon29 that’s a really good way to look at it, thank you! 🤍 I swear time is going so slow it feels like it was months ago I tested positive!! Xxx

@speake that's a really good result for 4+5
I wouldn't compare with other ladies, there's a huge huge huge range of HCG levels for every woman, all that's important is they're rising as they should every 2 days 💜
Just think 5 days before this test, your period was due and hormone levels would've been extremely low, so in about a week your hormones were only just starting to come in and risen 2000+ since 💜

@Ganesh2022 thank you 🙏🏼🤞🏼 I guess I’ll have more of an idea in a couple of days when the next test comes back to see if it has doubled xxx

@calimc83 I’m sorry about AF, it’s so deflating when she reels her ugly head! Xxx

@calimc83 I hope being away was good. I’m sorry about AF. I really wanted it to be your month.
@speake, @aesgriff’s were high! She has twins in family 🤪 obviously not an expert but those look great to me. It would’ve been enough for a 3 plus—May have memorized the levels, tho not touching them this time

My medichecks results are in ladies, I’ll just screenshot them all.

I’m concerned that my hCG is lower than yours was @aesgriff 🤦🏻‍♀️ I would’ve done this first test at 4w 5d pregnant.

Also my progesterone is showing as really high but they did have a statement that said try to not use a finger where you’ve used it to insert hormone pessaries in the last 4 weeks which was impossible. Wondering if that’s increased the progesterone level… can your progesterone levels be too high??

@Skl2021 hey been away this weekend. Been testing negative so far. 10 DPO and spotting. AF is here 😔 x

@arianasky I can't even imagine how you feel! I've only had one MC and every time I feel like I'm back to 'normal' and like the heavy cloud has lifted something seems to make it come back - even if just for a little bit. I can't even imagine how it is for you. Work would 100% understand. You are far more important right now. And I second asking the doctors to sign you off if you need it.

Thank you ladies, I know and I would give anyone the advice you've given. Work have been amazing but it is hard when you feel you're letting people down but I know my mental health has to come first, I think I'll message in the morning and let them know I need another week to try and sort my mind out a little and then I'll be back ❤️

@aesgriff I'm so sorry that happened to you with your colleague, how insensitive of her! And yes it's weird with my period, it lasted 4 days and pretty heavy so seems odd to be coming back 4 days after - I'll do an opk in the morning and see if that offers any answers!

@peachiekeen yeah we try really hard to put things like scan dates and what could have been put of our minds so this is tough - I also hope we'll have our own pregnancies to focus on soon, it will happen!

@speake thank you 💛

@ArcEnCiel2022 I'm really sorry that happened, it must be really hard to deal with in the workplace and to keep it together. It's a real conflict of emotions, I'm glad we all have each other to share with.

@SillySquirrel welcome, and sorry for your recent loss. It's an emotional rollercoaster for sure!
