🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 5 💕✨🤞🌈

@aesgriff it really is it's mentally draining 😞

Hi ladies! I’m 16dpo and have had what I thought were period cramps on and off for 3 days… also today my lower back is a bit achey. I randomly did a cheap pregnancy test and it was positive - clear second line! I’m going to do a clear blue test soon. Really worried that it’s going to be a chemical pregnancy as had one of those a few months and it was such a sad time. I have 2 lovely kiddos (6Y and 3y) so am already blessed but feel like our family is meant to have another little person in it. I’m 37y so worried increasingly that I’m going to have issues… how many of you had period like cramps and then went on to have a normal pregnancy? X

@aesgriff I'm glad to hear it's stopped! And thank you 💛 I've had a restful day today, I think getting the news unexpectedly face to face was a shock, I think I'd have preferred a message beforehand so I could digest the news privately first. She also cried and kept apologising which I don't want either, I don't want to take away from her happiness, it's just one of those things.

Afternoon all!! It's been chatty on here today ☺️

@aesgriff sorry you had a bit of a scare with the spotting, but glad there hasn't been any more! I also spotted last night and it was after a poo so hopefully it's just a bit of irritation. I have read that it's normal for your bigger boob to hurt more! Not sure on the science behind it though 😂

It's really frustrating isn't it @Ganesh2022. Mine hurt around the very edges and only when I press down hard. I really feel like my symptoms were a lot stronger before so it's quite difficult not to worry.

I also love Emily in Paris!! I've started watching Sweet Magnolias too which has been quite good. Looking forward to Peaky Blinders starting again tonight!

I don't blame you for hiding @PamelaDoov 😞

@PamelaDoov ah gotcha. Sometimes hiding is the best thing we can do...!! I'd do it, and I'd understand if someone did it from me.

He knows about our loss so wouldn’t think it weird of me to not feel like hearing about it. I told DH I don’t really want to go round either, but he didn’t ask us (like he has in the past) so probably thinks we might not want to.

@Ganesh2022 yeah we’re quite friendly with them and it’s the 3rd baby they’ve had whilst we’ve been neighbours. He was actually coming to borrow something off DH but a mutual friend told DH yesterday that the baby had arrived so I knew our neighbour would obviously tell us when he saw us, hence me knowing to hide!

@PamelaDoov bizarre of them to come by out of nowhere I mean x

@mrsmw132 Inventing Anna looks great, had never heard of it. Thx, now we have our next binge lined up

@PamelaDoov I'd hide, too. Are you close with them? Seems kind of a bizarre thing to do, no disrespect to them or their new baby...!

My next door neighbour has just come round to tell us about the birth of his new baby… sent DH to the door, I’m hiding upstairs 🙈

@arianasky it’s horrible that all the period and MC symptoms are the same as early pregnancy. It’s like being ‘guess who’ with our bodies xx

@Ganesh2022 it’s my bigger boob that hurts 🤫 oooh I’m going to start the second series today! I love a bit of escapism 😍 xx

@Sassy144 I haven’t had any further bleeding so just gotta roll with the punches I suppose! So sorry to hear of your position with the pregnancy news. It’s totally shit and rears a lot of ugly feelings. Just know you’re not a bad person for feeling them xx

@aesgriff glad there's no more spotting ❤️ yeah I don't think it is AF maybe just still cramping from the MC like you said

@aesgriff sorry you woke up to spotting, always going to be scary after what we've been through. No cramps sounds really positive though, and I've heard it's common after having a 💩!

Hi @mrsmw132 and belated welcome; what are you bingeing? Just started Emily in Paris and it's wonderfully fluffy and escapist

@calimc83 Ran into someone from old nursery a few days ago; she'd just given birth to her third. She dropped in that she turned 41 a few days after baby was born, and I think I wished her such an over-enthusiastic happy birthday as that pleased me so much that she thought it was a little bizarre

@aesgriff I always have only one sore boob. And only one works properly when breastfeeding 🧐

@calimc83 I did and nada. I think I had a weird thing in my head that this cycle could be the one as its the same cycle we were successful last year. Also I will need to have another surgery for endo soon and I'm worried they may need to take an ovary (or two) so I feel the clock bearing down on me

@Passenger87 yes, 💯. My age being a big factor and I had it in my head I wanted to be pregnant by May ( when I had been due). What about u? Oh did u test today? X

@passenger know me I'll start testing from 8DPO on Wednesday until AF shows x

@aesgriff hopefully it was just the strain and all your hormones causing a bit of sensitivity 💜
I'm 5DPO and taking the Medicheck on Tuesday a week before AF is due x

@aesgriff walk and a binge sounds perfect!

I'm ok getting a bit obsessed with poas atm. Might need to take a break after next month if nothing happens.

Gonna blitz the house today from top to bottom hopefully that will distract me 😂

@Ganesh2022 and @Cruz86 I only have one sore boob and that’s freaking me out 😳 xx
