🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 6 🌈✨🙌💞

@Cruz86 I feel absolutely fine, my boobs are tender and I’ve been maybe a little bit more tired than usual other than that nothing to report home! How are you feeling? Xx

@ArcEnCiel2022 welcome to the TWW club! It's my first cycle trying after a miscarriage in January, I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself and hold out testing for as long as possible. In January I was tracking my temperature and analysing every spike/drop and symptom.

Just in case helpful for anyone

1DPO - temperature increase
2 DPO - none
3DPO - none
4DPO - drop in temperature - 1 day dip
5DPO - cramps bad enough to stay up at night, on left hand side
6DPO - temperature increase, cramps on left hand side. Some tingling/pulling just below belly button
7DPO - cramps
8DPO - temperature dip cramps
9DPO - watery CM, very faint positive pregnancy test
10 DPO - pulling sensation, faint positive pregnancy test, tiredness, positive OPK

Hi all! I read everything even if I don't comment much, and it's really comforting to see so much support to each others.
I'm sorry some of you have not feeling well today, and have in a difficult time and I really hope it's not what you think @Cindy974 @theblueflowers

@PamelaDoov @LittleMrsMama I think I ovulated yesterday evening/night (I had my OPK peak yesterday morning and felt really strong ovulation pain in the left side in the evening), so I'm in the TWW as well!

@LittleMrsMama good luck! We can symptom spot together 🙌

@Skl2021 awww thank you xx

@PamelaDoov I had a positive OPK this morning so think I'll be ovulating tonight/tomorrow. The TWW is so tough but great to go through it together. Fingers crossed for us both 🌈

@Cruz86 I've been a mess, crying here there and everywhere and spilling my guts to someone whobless herwas not expecting all that I'm sure.

@PamelaDoov Thank you . Sometimes a good cry is so necessary.... Glad to hear there have been good days in the mix. Fingers are crossed for you for this 2ww!

@peachiekeen I've heard that; it gets me every time. In a good/sad way.

@Ganesh2022 sorry you’ve had a sad day today. I had one of those last week. Just cried all day long. Hope you feel better soon xx

I have been reading all the posts just not commenting much. Ive had some really bad days over the last week but also some ok, even good days. I think I ovulated yesterday or overnight last night so I’m gonna say I’m in the TWW now.

I meant to tag @mrsmw132 not @mrshodgy21 for the negative test part!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thank you @Prayingformyrainbow93. Now time for you to try and enjoy these early stages of pregnancy! ☺️ How are you feeling?

Haha you never know @arianasky! Not too much longer for you to wait now 🤞🏻

Oh I see @mrshodgy21. I'm glad they've been seeing you early. How are you feeling about the scan?

I'm so sorry to hear about your spotting @theblueflowers. Anything like that is so worrying at this stage. What's the process like where you are to get a referral to epu for an early scan? I hope it's just one of those things and doesn't progress into anything more. Thinking of you.

Thank you @bunnykins123 ☺️ How are you doing?

I think, given what we've been through, weekly scans isn't too ott @aesgriff. Just a lot of money 😂

Big hugs @Cindy974, I really hope it won't progress into more.

@mrshodgy21 sorry you're getting negatives. What tests are you using?

Thank you @Ganesh2022. How are you today?

@Skl2021 ive been exactly the same as you today. Couldn't keep my eyes open and had to have a little nap 😴

Xx

@theblueflowers it's so hard to act "normal" when you're going out of your mind with worry isn't it.... I've ended up telling so many more people than I've wanted to what's going on, and today feeling pretty conflicted about it. I find it very hard to keep a lid on it and then feel like I've overshared. So grateful for this group.

Loving thoughts to anyone who's having a hard (understatement sometimes) day. I've cried to my husband all day and he has no idea what to do with me or with himself.

Last night I read something that really gave me comfort. Warning: this did make me cry but in a good way.

Apparently, when we have had a miscarriage, the cells from our baby stay with us and become part of us. It's called microchimerism and the cells become 'beating heart cells'. So our babies are literally in our hearts with us ❤️

I read it on mother_pukka Instagram page if you want to have a look yourselves.

I wanted to share in case in comforted anyone in the way it comforted me x

@Skl2021 thank you for being such a caring person 🥰

@theblueflowers not very helpful at all but fingers crossed its nothing serious. I had spotting that turned into bleeding with a few small clots at the beginning of my first pregnancy, EPU told me it was normal every time I went but it didn't make it less scary. My son is going to be 4 this year. I'm sending you loads of love and warm hugs xx

Thank you all so much. It's such a scary time, and not being able to talk about it in person to anyone just builds up the worry. I can't tell you how comforting your words are.

Really hoping I am just following in the footsteps of others on this thread and it's just 'one of those things'.

I know it's too early for a scan, but I felt I had to do something, so rang my GP and they were so lovely. I have an appointment with them tomorrow afternoon. I'm not sure how easy it is to get progesterone, but I guess I do now qualify under the NICE guidelines so it may be worth a conversation.

Hi everyone. Can I please join this thread? On cycle 10 of TTC #2 and had a very early miscarriage in January. Currently 5dpo and trying to compare my symptoms to January

@Cruz86 I'm so glad to hear your scan went well!
@theblueflowers ugh, that is upsetting. I am crossing my fingers it goes in the direction of several of the bleeds/spotting on this thread and that all will be ok! I think it's very common to spot/bleed in early pregnancy, but that doesn't make it any less scary.
@Cindy974 thinking of you and keeping fingers crossed that all is ok.

Still negative here. Am having a really stressful time at work- to the point I was crying during my lunch break.
This isn't like me, but I think the first round of treatment after my miscarriage is underlying on my stress levels.
So much.
Thank you for keeping me sane.
