TTC after miscarriage thread 12 🌈✨💛💕

@Luna57 ah apologies, I didn't know you had had a scan already. At least that's a positive, you know there's nothing immediately sinister going in at least.
My bleeding stopped after 6 days but a week later I had another big, clotty bleed which lasted half a day. A scan five days later showed all was still well. No more bleeding since 🤞
When is your next scan again? Mine isn't until the 25th. I hate waiting

@FfayeN i am 8dpo so fighting the urge to test already and hoping I will last until 11dpo on Monday 🙈 I only have two cheapies left in the house and no FR so this should help!!

@HalWin2221 i do tend to keep an eye on my temp too though, if it’s high I remain positive. High for me though is about 36.6 so not super high.

@bunnykins123 my bleeding is heavier today, it’s just really draining me now.

@RaliaMusca ive already had a scan so that’s ruled out ectopic. They just keep saying they don’t scan between the scans they like to wait 2 weeks to see what happens. Did your bleeding stop?

@Luna57 your bleeding sounds a bit like what I had earlier this month. I also had 6 days of bright red blood. I went to a&e in the end because I had pain in my left abdomen, although it was quite mild but it scared me a little. They referred me to the EPU and I had a scan and blood test. Another blood test was done 48hrs later and another scan 5 days after that. They just really wanted to rule out ectopic.
I'd say if you're really concerned about something being seriously wrong (like I was because I really did fear an ectopic), go to a&e and ask to be referred for a scan at the epu. Otherwise I guess you can play the waiting game and be reassured that bleeding doesn't have to mean anything bad. It didn't for me (so far at least). Xx

@ChickenT2b i know I feel exactly the same, the sight of a BPN and then waiting for AF 🙁 we’ve got to stay positive though haven’t we!
I tested at 9dpo last time when I got my BFP so, when you want it as much as we do I don’t think there is such thing as too early! 😂

No dice. Positive tests on Wednesday. But cramps and period like bleeding this morning. 😪

Not my month (again). Think there's a bit of bleak irony behind discovering your pregnant, then not pregnant in baby loss awareness week.

@Luna57 I have the exact same ones and I was told either. I'm surprised the midwife has never heard that before. I've never done vaginally so not sure what that's like but everything I read advised to do rectally. Regarding the bleeding, I would follow up and ask if they can see you sooner. 6 days bleeding could be entirely normal but probably needs a bit more attention than they're giving. Is ur heavy or still just streaks?

I need to catch up!! I keep forgetting to come on here and post to you all!

dh and I dtd right on ovulation day (they day after I posted here about him pulling out) so on 2ww

will read back and catch up this afternoon x

@mummatara i do feel really dismissed they just tell you to go to a&e if I have pain or unmanageable bleeding. The sister at the scan made a point to say a&e won’t scan you though. Right now I’m not worried about a scan I’m worried about why I’m actively bleeding fresh bright red blood something is wrong there surely? Should I stop cyclogest and see how I get on? I feel like if I’m meant to miscarry I’m meant to. Don’t think cyclogest will help, I’ve never had hormone problems before.

@HalWin2221 its horrible isn’t it! Feeling positive makes me anxious!! I don’t want to go down again at the sight of another BFN 😩.
I was hoping to hold out until Monday too! Do you consider this early? 🤣 11dpo would be an achievement for me 🙈
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 xx

@Luna57 I'd go by the box. I don't see what the difference would be either. It's still being absorbed either way.

@FfayeN @theblueflowers oh amazing news, and two at once!! Well done you pair

@Luna57 surely if the box says rectally then that is fine to use rectally. I don't know how they haven't heard of anyone taking them that way when everyone seems to do it 😳 I think I would ring them back and tell them your feeling a bit dismissed there's obv something your body doesn't like or you wouldn't keep bleeding and tell them what the box says

@TheBirdintheCave the box says for vaginal or rectal use but the wee sticker says intravaginal use only. What would be the difference though?

@mummatara Thank you. Going to optimistically call that CD1... which means countdown to possible ovulation. Hooray! And thank goodness for huge multipacks of opks on Amazon! At that price, I can justify testing every day. I'd be bankrupt before long if I was using the clearblue ones!

@lizziecat1 oooh that's a hard one. If it was me I think I would count it as CD1 to give you a starting point but do opks everyday to see if they change at any point. I got AF 5 weeks after my D&C but I did still have positive PT too until 6 weeks added to that it was a proper AF but I didn't bleed very much after mine only about 2 days. My temp dropped back down a couple of weeks after the procedure and didn't go back up until ovulation which was the cycle after the D&C so keep taking temps took it's a really hard limbo time wondering what's happening

@Luna57 Ok so, when I went to pick them up from the pharmacy I remember she asked me which way I was told to take them and I said they'd told me rectally (as they did). I'm not sure if she gave me different ones because of that or if the information leaflet is different? I don't think it was though, pretty sure I remember reading that you can use them either way. What does your information sheet say that came with the meds?

Ladies that have used cyclogest rectally… I phoned epu there to ask if this bleeding is normal it’s just going on so long I’m on day 6 it’s still bright red light bleeding. I told her this morning I swapped the pessary from vaginally to rectal. She went hang on a second. Came back and said ‘emm I’ve never heard of anyone using them rectally we wouldn’t recommend’ and told me to continue vaginally. I’ve 10 days til the next scan and they won’t scan me before. I don’t feel this bleeding is ever gonna stop and don’t feel like they’re that worried I’ve had fresh bleeding for nearly a week straight. Any time I’ve google fresh bleeding it always goes back to cervical bleeding and should consult epu or a doctor if it persists more than 48 hours? Maybe I should leave a urine test in the doctors to see if there’s a possible uti or kidney infection? The sides of my back has been sore but I’ve been putting it down to lazing around for 2 weeks since I’ve been off work

@FfayeN @theblueflowers oh my goodness, what lovely news! Congratulations both! Sending you lots of sticky bean magic ✨⭐✨
The all day queasiness has kicked in here, I'm six weeks today. So I'll be lying low until my next scan.
I'm also still terrified of it all going wrong again but I love the advice one of you gave to say "today I am pregnant". Makes me able to enjoy it at least a little bit.

More advice please, clever ladies!
D&C just over 4 weeks ago -bleeding only really stopped at 3 weeks. Just 1 week later it felt like AF was arriving (mild cramps, gurgling feeling, temp dropped right down and stayed there) But nothing other than tiny amounts brown/mucus for 3 days. (Ov tests and preg tests completely negative!)
Would you think that was AF, and start counting CD1 from there?
I'm really hoping that was my fresh start - fed up guessing what might be going on!

@FfayeN @theblueflowers Congratulations! So happy for you both. Hope you can relax and enjoy being pregnant.

@FfayeN and @theblueflowers wow congratulations to you both. Amazing news to read this morning. Wishing you both all the best ❤️ Actually filled me some hope to see some BFP’s after feeling so down about this TTC journey lately. Fingers crossed it’s my turn soon 🤞🏻

@FfayeN im glad you’ve said you had different symptoms each time! I had implantation bleeding the first time so feel like I’ll be out if I don’t get that, but maybe I wouldn’t every time! I’ve got everything crossed for you🤞🏻

@ChickenT2b glad you’re feeling positive, I’ll keep everything crossed for you and hopefully in a couple of days they’ll be congratulations flying around for you too! 🤞🏽 I know I think I’ve thought about testing every day since O 😂
I’m ok! I’m having really vivid dreams which was my symptom both pregnancies but I’m not sure if it’s because my mind is working overtime hoping that I am! I’m not even going to pretend I’m not going to test early, I’ll probably be testing Monday! 😂
