🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 6 🌈✨🙌💞

@Bridgey8 beautiful nails 🌈

Finding it hard to keep up at the moment as I'm so busy at work, but at least that's taking my mind off the tww. I've had no symptoms. I have my first counselling session tomorrow afternoon so I'll let you know how that goes.

Hope everyone else is doing okay ❤️

@Bridgey8 lovely nails! You've reminded me, I need to get mine done 💅

@theblueflowers I'm so sorry they won't give you progesterone. I just don't understand why this happens to so many people 😞 try not to assume to worst and fingers crossed all will be fine 💕

@HoneyLemon29 omg I'm so so sorry that had happened, I can't believe they have done that to you. Could you exaggerate your situation to see if they will see you quicker? You should be able to see beanie is in the right place around 5 weeks (I think?)

Testing day for me tomorrow ladies, I'd rather not test at all but given I'm on progesterone I need to know so I can stop taking them. Urgh. I don't want to 😩😩

Tried to match my nails to wishing for my rainbow 🌈

@theblueflowers I have everything crossed for you 💜 my test should hopefully be here tomorrow but could be Thursday x

Only just caught up, I'm sorry to hear some of you are spotting/bleeding I hope that's all it is I have everything crossed for your rainbows 🌈🙏🏻💕

@HoneyLemon29 so sorry you are going through such a stressful time. To have the opportunity of a scan taken away also seems so cruel.
I too have ordered the medichecks progress test. I'm going to do my first one tomorrow morning.

The doctor was a bit useless today, basically said that because I am not bleeding heavily at the moment I won't be offered progesterone. The spotting has stopped for the past few hours, but this happened with my mc so I'm not seeing that as a hopeful sign at the moment. I've also now got terrible lower back pain which is not a good sign for me!
Watching and waiting is torturing!

@speake it's awful I was only on the phone to them this morning double checking and she said tomorrow. Then they call back and said actually the doctors say 6 weeks now 🥺
I understand the HCG isn't conclusive, but I would rather spot any chance of an abnormal rise now so I can address it with EPU before it's too late 😔 they told me to call back if the results are abnormal. I just don't know why 6 weeks when sacs can be seen earlier than that as even my ectopic was seen in the tube at 5 weeks. She said I'm not bleeding or in pain but some Ectopics don't come with symptoms until it's to late. I'm just so worried now 😭

@HoneyLemon29 I’m so sorry you’re being messed around like that, it’s so awful! Could you ask to speak with someone more senior at EPU? Or maybe ask your GP to talk with them on your behalf?

Hopefully the medichecks tests will arrive soon & give you some reassurance. What an awful thing to be promised & then have snatched away from you!! Sending hugs xxx

@Bundaberg84 I think it's up to 21% of pregnancies that have a doubling rate of HCG. With me though I would rather check HCG just incase there is a slow rise and then the early pregnancy unit can see me sooner rather than later so I can have the methotrexate

@HoneyLemon29 hcg tests are good, but nothing can replace the scans! With my ectopic, my hcg levels doubled in the beginning. It's not always correct that hcg rises slowly, unfortunately.

@HoneyLemon29 that’s shocking!! I can’t understand why EPUs vary so much in what they can/can’t do xx

@Skl2021 don’t worry 🤣🤣🤣 that’s all we do!! We’re pros at this point. Scan is next Wednesday just want to see a heartbeat again and I’ll be happy 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I’ll be 8 weeks then. Not heard from midwife about booking appointment.. shock!! Xx

@Cruz86 private scans vary so much in price depending on location. Cheapest round here is £79 but I’ve seen in other areas they’re £40! Wild xx

@Bundaberg84 I've ordered 2 home blood pregnancy tests that I'll do myself 48 hours apart, at least to give me a little more confidence until I can just book a private scan at 6 weeks.
They know they can do placement scans from 5 weeks, even if there's no baby seen the sac should be and at least that'll tell me where the baby is 🥺

That is nuts @HoneyLemon29 ! Can you go private? Or can you just tell them you're spotting?? I'm not for lying, seriously, but sometimes it's necessary.

@Prayingformyrainbow93 apparently because I'm not bleeding or in pain they aren't worried. Yet after my chemical they saw me at 5 weeks only to discover my ectopic 😩😩 but now I have to wait longer and I'm more at risk. It just doesn't make sense. I've ordered 2x Medicheck blood tests and I'll do it myself. I just can't wait that long to see if my hormones are rising normally 😢

You’re joking @HoneyLemon29 why has their decision on seeing you changed? That’s awful, hope you’re ok xx

Oh my goodness I need to come on here to rant! EPU have just rang me after tell me I could start blood tests tomorrow that they don't want to see me until 6 weeks! I literally had a panic attack over the phone saying sorry but my last Ectopic was discovered at 5 weeks! Then it was too late!
I don't know what to do I'm beside myself with worry and I told them they can stick there appointment in 2 weeks as well 😩

@scoutcat same thing here, my opks were starting to get darker then the next day lighter, so I think it happened during the night. And my physical symptoms have confirmed all this too. I also worry that without seeing an actual positive OPK I haven’t ovulated 😕 BUT I’ve managed to get pregnant 3 times without a positive OPK (just a few half-arsed attempts at using them, then giving up when I could never catch a positive) so that gives me some reassurance.

So lovely to hear about all the positive tests, my heart goes out to anyone who is experiencing spotting/bleeding.

I think I'm in the TWW without realising it! I must have ovulated early on in the cycle because I've been testing with an opk and I just keep getting the flashing smiley so I think I've missed it, but luckily we did manage to have a few attempts but now I'm anxious that I haven't ovulated. Isn't this TTC business easy?? 😅😭

So exciting @LittleMrsMama -a faint positive is everything.
12dpo today. Testing is still negative.
Just waiting on AF.

@Cruz86 tbh I don't really feel anything as I've had these scans before at 6 weeks and always a nice healthy heart beat 1st 2 times I went for private at 9 weeks no heart beat
Last time scan at 10 weeks and no heart beat
I hate not being able to get excited myself and partner don't really talk about being pregnant as we just don't no what the outcome is going to be we found out my last 2 mmc were both girls 🥲 x

Hi everyone. So brilliant to see all the positive tests and scans!

I'm feeling a bit misery today as had a temp drop and my app said it's likely my period is coming :-(

How is everyone else?

Crossing everything for those waiting for good news. It's coming!
