🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 5 💕✨🤞🌈

Thank you @ArcEnCiel2022 and I'm really sorry about your loss and that you wasn't taken seriously as well. Any pregnancy from me will now be high risk with a 10% increase of more Ectopics so I think I'll be straight in 🤞

3x first response tests have been ordered ready for testing in a couple of days.
Had to order them online because does anyone else get bad anxiety walking into shops getting them just incase you're seen? 😅 costs a bit more but o well 😂 x

@arianasky I hope so but you’d think I’d have better opks! Decided I’m gonna DTD tonight, was gonna start tomorrow but I don’t want to risk missing ovulation, even if I’m 99% sure it’s not ovulation 😅

@PamelaDoov oh no how strange maybe just your body is gearing up for O 🤞🏻

@arianasky urgh I don’t know, I’ve done nothing to irritate it. But it sure is irritating me!

@PamelaDoov I've never used the flashing cb before only the one that shows a static but I've bought one with a flashing smiley this time and no flashing yet 🙄 oh no, maybe just some irritation?

@arianasky there’s still time then for it to be on track! I had 10 days of flashing smiley opks last time and I haven’t even got 1 yet 😫 hoping that I only get a few days of flashing this time, I can’t wait another 10+ days!

Ive just noticed some spotting. It can’t be ovulation or implantation, it’s impossible. So I guess my body is just a broken pile of crap 😣

I ovulated on time this cycle again. Of course I did, I seem to only ovulate late or early when I'm not using opk :) So I'm in the 2WW now, tested positive yesterday, so probably ovulate today. I tried out Purple's method (o-3, o-1, o+1) - so far so good, let's see if I'm in the mood tomorrow. Went skiing yesterday and will go to the gym tonight, probably knocked out tomorrow (instead of knocked up, ha.)

@Skl2021 I'm ok. Still as petrified as ever! I had to do some swabs last week as my ehem discharge was yellow... got results today and am positive for group B strep, which means another round of antibiotics and might mean I need more treatment when I go into labour to stop baby getting it (if I get that far! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻) how are you doing? Xx

@PamelaDoov mine put it starting yesterday but I didn't get a peak until CD19 last month so not panicking until around that mark 😂 although I will read into every symptom in the mean time and convince myself it's happening until it happens 😂

@arianasky very annoying but to be fair my app doesn’t put my fertile window until tomorrow, so I won’t despair too much just yet.

@ArcEnCiel2022 thank you 💕 i feel a bit better knowing work understood

@PamelaDoov I'm the same CD15 and no sniff of ovulation yet 🙄 it's so frustrating isn't it

CD15 and still negative OPKs! Why is it that MCs make my cycles go ridiculously long but actually giving birth at full term doesn’t😤

@Skl2021 I think if I'm worrying something is going wrong next time I'm pregnant (if I am one day... 🤞) I'm definitely planning to exaggerate my symptoms to be scanned as soon as possible @HoneyLemon29 it's awful what you have been through 🥺 you're really brave and I wish you all the best 💞
For my second MC in December, everything started with some light brown/pink spotting, no pain, at 10 weeks. I called the EPU, told them the truth about what was happening, and they said not to worry, it's likely nothing, and they offered a scan one week later, saying to just call back if it started to be red blood and cramps. I already had a MC two months before that started exactly the same, I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat... Fortunately the day after I was travelling to France to visit my family for Christmas, and first thing I did was going to the hospital there because I knew they would scan me immediately, which they did, and told me there was no heartbeat 😞 I miscarried naturally few days after that. I know there is nothing the EPU could have done to stop it, but I'm definitely going to lie next time if that happens again, because I prefer to know rather than staying for days or weeks in this state of worrying. At least I could start to mourn...

@arianasky It's great that they understand you need more time before going back to work, and that they offered counselling. You shouldn't feel bad about taking the time you need: what you have been through is a lot, and you need time to heal physically and mentally 💐

@Skl2021 I’m ok thank you, just a nervous wreck! I wonder if there will be any gestation where we actually all ease into pregnancy & feel ok or if this anxiety will continue until birth 😖 I’m so glad you haven’t had any more spotting, keeping everything crossed for you xxx

@HoneyLemon29 you've really been through it; may you never get fobbed off like that again.

@aesgriff can I ask, are you within the NHS? I am. I have to say I feel like a massive fraud helping ppl with anxiety, because mine is terrible. I know the things to say but not how to implement those things.

@speake I'm glad I got it out 😅 I was so anxious this morning but since I spilled my guts on this thread the anxiety has eased right up 🥰 x

@Skl2021 fingers crossed to us both it all works out for us and to everyone out there struggling with conception and pregnancy losses that we are all holding babies soon 💜
You're almost there 🤭 just another 7ish months? That will hopefully fly by for you x

@aesgriff @Cruz86 I didn’t realise you were both still experiencing spotting 😞💔 Honestly what a rollercoaster.

@aesgriff I hope that you can be seen at EPU today & get reassurance. Are you taking anything else on top of the progesterone? I know that aspirin for example can cause bleeding too. Massive virtual hugs! Xxx

@cruz86 hope you feel better soon, not what you need on top of everything else!

@HoneyLemon29 I think my mouth literally dropped open reading your story there, that is so so bad!! I’m so sorry you’ve gone through that but I’m glad you’ve got that ammunition there to make sure that you are not fobbed off again. Truly awful! Xxx

I missed loads of comments whilst at my daughters ballet lesson so I hope everyone else is doing ok today. Is it just me or is it always Mondays!? I swear last Monday there were things going wrong too 🤦🏻‍♀️ Xxx

Sending love and support to everyone on what sounds like a rubbish Monday xxx

@bunnykins123 I know it definitely does 😂🙈I've got sore breasts and I have slight EWCM so maybe? Oh I know I always workout when I can DTD etc and it never works out I ovulate around then 🙄

@Prayingformyrainbow93 ah thank you I didn't know that 💕

@Sassy144 same, I manage to push my feelings aside and act like I'm all good but I know I'm not and it's not healthy to do that

@arianasky I'm so pleased your work are being so understanding, and I think counselling is a great idea. I'm thinking of having some myself, until now I've just been putting it out of my mind, even my oh was surprised by how well I was coping, but then when something triggers it off again I'm back to square one and in a hole. I think it's important to process the emotions and grief.
