TTC after miscarriage thread 12 🌈✨💛💕

@bunnykins123 I can just do it with a thermometer (I did buy one) you don't need to get the vaginal sensor thing?

@mummatara defo leave it a while after your bleeding has stopped. That way you won't scare yourself if you still get a dye stealer! Hopefully you've passed it all now and that's the last of the bleeding 🤞

@MrsCristianoX do it! It's actually quite interesting (and possibly confusing?!) to see your temps. Mine defo don't behave normally but generally seem to do what they should around O.

@FfayeN i might track ovulation this month just out of interest. Full on POAS withdrawal here 😂

@Luna57 forgot to tag you in my post above, sorry!

I have done a bit of research around progesterone (I'm currently studying for a health-related BSc and am doing a module on drug interactions so was curious) and they should offer you Utrogestan as that's the one that was used in the clinical trials (PRISM trial).

I'm obviously not a doctor but it might be worth checking with whoever has prescribed it as there are different forms of progesterone and from what I've read the Utrogestan is the only one that has been shown to actually be beneficial in trials in preventing miscarriage.

You can go to medicines.org/emc or bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs and search for both mediations, that will bring up all the details.

Hang in there @lizziecat1 your probably almost there I got my period 5 weeks after and ovulated that cycle. I didn't ovulate at all between my D&C and the period at 5 weeks. The waiting is the absolute worst i can never understand how it all just take so long 🙄

@RaliaMusca yeah, I think they have to confirm there’s a pregnancy and because I had a miscarriage before and having bleeding now they’ve prescribed me it for 2 weeks and if there’s progression in those 2 weeks I will be prescribed cyclogest til 16 weeks. It’s not stopped the bleeding tho it’s still very on and off. You might be offered it tomorrow if all goes well

@Luna57 can I just check (I can't find where you've written about it) why you were given cyclogest? Is that because of threatened miscarriage due to the bleeding?

So much waiting involved in this game.... I can't wait to be in the TWW! Still waiting for any indication that my body intends to ever ovulate again. 4 weeks post d&c and counting. I have no patience!

@bunnykins123 yes I thought that it could just be so broken down that I haven't noticed it. It's def been lighter this'll again this morning almost not even worth wearing a liner so I think it's on its way to finishing. Haha It was just a cheap one I was like oh wonder how faint it is 😂 damn not that faint at all 🙄 I won't test now for a couple of weeks no point in wasting more tests

@theblueflowers I'm okay until about 11/12 DPO then I become an obsessed woman analysing everything. I actually don't know what's worse - the TWW or scheduled frisky time 🤷‍♀️

@mummatara it could be that the sac is breaking down which is why you are feeling smaller clots coming out? Oh nooo don't test! That's the best way to give yourself extra anxiety!!

@calimc83 i had a low lying anterior placenta with ds and was only the end of week 18 I felt a few wee pokes he only ever moved when my wee dog lay on my lap. Weeks on he would kick the dogs wee heads when she slept on my belly. 13 months on he gives her head massages and the occasional excited slap 😂

@theblueflowers @TheBirdintheCave oh 💯 I go bonkers. Start ordering tests left, right and centre 😂

@calimc83 I had anterior placenta with DS I didn't feel anything until about 22 weeks 🙄

Yes. I think it's because once 8dpo comes around you think 'well, it actually could be positive if I tested now' and it's hard to fight that idea away.

Anyone else just go mad in the second week of the TWW? I am so cool in the first week, can focus on work just fine, and then it's like a switch goes off from 7dpo!

@calimc83 not really ...now I'm worrying it'll be a blighted ovum 😰 I think I just need to keep telling myself that people can have some spotting in early pregnancy and it turns out okay.
How many weeks are you again love? That's so exciting, hope you get to feel bub soon!! Glad your friend was okay but omg that must have been so stressful for her.

@Luna57 haha sorry that made me lol , I would be the same I reckon !! Don't want any accidents thanks 🤣🤣 so glad to hear you've had no fresh bleeding so far xx

@Mariabombia remember a week ago I had some brown discharge and what felt like round ligament pain. That would of been 5 weeks for me so I think that’s normal for the bean to bury in deeper around then. Pessaries are going grand im doing them vaginally too scared to put them up anywhere. I had a bad experience when I had ds and they gave me a rectal painkiller pessary and I thought I’d shit myself the next day when the stuff started coming out and I was traumatised 😂 atm I’m having no fresh bleeding just the brown discharge so I’m hoping they’re doing the trick

@Mariabombia ahh! That happens to my friend. She ended up in A&E as was such a significant bleed. All fine though. Hopefully speaking to the EPU has helped?? I'm ok. Constantly trying to figure out if what I think are slight 'movements' are movements and not just wind 😣😆. I have an anterior placenta this time which is affecting things xx

FF is telling me nine so that's what I'm going by at the moment :)

@bunnykins123 I'm ok still bleeding I've had a couple of very small clots like smaller than my fingernail so don't think that counts as anything to get excited about 😂 and the bleeding is lighter than last week though heavier than when it was tailing off on Friday. No more cramps but headache has been on and off all weekend. I stupidly did a pregnancy test thinking it might be faint because I'm bleeding 🤣 funniest joke I've ever played on myself it was a dye stealer 🙄

@ChickenT2b I always have a slow rise over about 3 days

@Everythingzrosie ahhh lovely that's rubbish. You def need to chat to him and see where his head is at he might just be having a bit of a wobble

@Luna57 big big hugs limbo is so hard and you feel like you drive yourself mad with the waiting but I have obviously read a lot of Google when I was in limbo and lot of people don't see a HB at the 6 week point so I've got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

Thanks so much ladies @Luna57 @calimc83 so I called this morning & they basically said it sounds like implantation bleeding, I asked if that could happen at 5 weeks and she said that it won't be the initial implantation but something about the embryo burrowing deeper? Sometimes the blood from that gets absorbed by the body and sometimes it comes out.

She didn't seem concerned but said if it does get heavier I need to wait a week and do another pregnancy test & If it's fainter it will be an unfertilised egg :(?

Didn't offer blood test or future scan.

@calimc83 how're you doing?

@Luna57 so sorry to hear the bleeding has picked up again, so stressful . Praying that you do get to use that little baby grow soon darling . How're you finding the pessaries ?

@RaliaMusca & @Luna57 keeping everything crossed for you both!! 🤞🏽

I am 4dpo and already driving myself mad 😂
