TTC after miscarriage thread 13 💕🌈✨💛

@AwayWeGo2 aww no I'm sorry about your loss lovely..I've actually been thinking of you. Waiting lists are SO bad it scares me

@Luna57 like wtf with this virus. First covid now something that feels like covid but doesn't get you enough time off work. I'll be wearing a mask at work now I hate being sick 🤢

@AwayWeGo2 sorry to hear about your third loss!

i think I’m back to -dpo I don’t think I’ve ovulated. I’ve started getting dark nipples and crampy boobs like I had before I ovulated the last time and had some EWCM but back to creamy. I had pregnancy symptoms the last time and tested right to 18dpo and nothing so I suspect my body is just trying and gearing up to ovulate if I actually do 🤷🏼‍♀️

@MrsCristianoX hope you feel better soon. That virus isn’t fun. I feel like I’m getting worse instead of better. First day back to work Sunday too hoping my ear calms itself with all this congestion.

@AwayWeGo2 oh lovely I'm so so sorry 💕 mine ended in up as another MMC too it's absolutely gutting big hugs and love. I hope they get you in for answers soon 🤞🏼

@calimc83 thank you so much for the reassurance,l 💕 they do look slightly darker now and I am getting more symptoms. Its so hard to be positive but im getting there. How far along are you now lovely?

thank you everyone aswell for your reassurances, I actually do my own head in sometimes 🤣 x

@AwayWeGo2 I'm so sorry to hear your news, having 3 in a row is heartbreaking. I have been through the system with RMC and it took about 8 months before I got answers. I have high NK cells but everything else is normal so I'm on meds for that. I hope you get some answers soon! I've not experienced stop start periods but I think there are so many degrees of normal following a miscarriage. Big hugs 💕

@TheBirdintheCave annoyingly mine is a 2 decimal place one. Boo.

@Bubblesandballoons honestly I wish I'd never started. I don't have the typical temp shift like you're supposed to get so every month is really confusing!

Hi lovelies! Sorry it’s been a while, took some time away from the Internet after an early scan on our last pregnancy showed a borderline heartbeat and slow growth. Sadly ended in another mmc found at 10 weeks and had another mva at the start of October. The only silver lining is that, as it’s our third (one cp and two mmc, all this year), we can now get tests done on the NHS. Annoyingly though it will probably be at least 6 months to get to see the consultant so we’re pausing ttc dc2 for a while!

I’m currently waiting for my first af since the mc, felt like I had ov pains and a tiny bleed 2 weeks ago so thought she’d be due around now. Two days ago I thought she’d arrived but just bled for maybe 10 minutes, then nothing, then 5 minutes that evening, then nothing, then 5 minutes yesterday morning and nothing at all since! Just wondering if anyone else had this after a mc and if their af showed up properly eventually? I’m stressing myself out about ashermans! Also did a test in case it was implantation but bfn… obvious as we’ve been using protection all month 😂

Now I’ve got a lot of catching up to do, I need to catch up from thread 11!!!

Love to you all xxx

I’m 2DPO and attempting to not go absolutely obsessed with examining any twinge in my body and CM during the TWW! ♥️

@Bubblesandballoons I feel a good bit better today but I'm bloody fed up! I think I'll give myself to the end of the year then call it a day. I had boob ache yesterday but not today and the odd cramp at one side. Nothing exceptional

@MrsCristianoX it’s annoying that it always seems to happens in the tww isn’t it. Hope you feel better soon and manage to get some rest today xx

@Bubblesandballoons I'm 3dpo today but have been struck by a virus that feels like covid but isn't. My lower back is sore and I feel like I've been run over by a truck 🥲 i just don't think it'll catch in this state. I rang in sick which I never do.

@bunnykins123 what thermometer are you using? I have a femometer one which was about £30 but it's Bluetooth so I can take temp with my eyes closed and just download it when I wake up properly it saves the time too which is handy 😂

@Cindy974 was just scrolling through all my last pictures trying to see if I could find a pic of my cheapies when I got my BFP but think I've deleted it. I'm sure mine were all pretty similar ish when I was around your stage. I then had a stern word with myself and stepped away from them for about a week ( then caved) when I tested again a week or so later it had turned ever so slightly darker xx

@bunnykins123 It's just the digital Braun one I got before my son was born. I was too lazy to get a two decimal place one as well and this one seemed to work last month 😂

@TheBirdintheCave @bunnykins123 I don’t temp, so I may not have ovulated… living in blissful ignorance of that side of things 😂. Af due 16th/17th.

@TheBirdintheCave I literally think we are cycle sisters as my temps have gone down today 🤦‍♀️ I'm so frustrated. What thermometer do you use? I'm tempted to get a proper one as this uncertainty is begging to really peeve me off!

@Bubblesandballoons I think I'm about 3/4 DPO but who knows 🤷‍♀️ what day is AF due for you? Hope you are able to hold out to Monday! I've got a while yet before I think about testing!

@EsmeSusanOgg that's good news regarding getting further tests. Wishing you luck!

I'm 4dpo today (though temping would suggest I haven't ovulated at all) so still a long way to go!

@bunnykins123 i wouldn’t be surprised at a 3 month wait too 😂.

@mummatara so happy you finally got a lighter line.

@Cindy974 hope you get a nice dark line in a few days. They look like nice strong positive to me for cheapies.

@EsmeSusanOgg sorry your struggling, but seems like you have got the ball rolling on some help which is good. Hopefully they can give you a few answers.

How are the tww ladies? I’m 6/7dpo today and apart from being exhausted (due to ds waking up through the night and then me being on 10pm finishes 😩) not feeling much, apart from it won’t happen as I’m not getting enough sleep 😂. My frer arrived yesterday and hoping I can hold out till Monday at least.

Thanks @bunnykins123 just have too much outing info. The mods here were very kind.

Bit... Emotional this eve. But have nabbed GP appt and going to call a local fertility clinic for a scan/ blood test.

@EsmeSusanOgg I'm not sure what your last message said but I hope you're ok 💕

I think I'm just a bit of a mess. Was really hoping that I was going to strike lucky 😢

@EsmeSusanOgg I think it's totally natural to, somewhere deep down, have a tiny bit of hope. I do. Never amounts to much for me but I think I have to allow myself to have hope otherwise I'll go absolutely barmy. I'm the same age as you and have low AMH which on paper is bad news. Do you know what yours were? I had a hyfosy this cycle and I had above average ovarian reserve so if it's AMH you're working off, it doesn't necessarily correlate to ovarian reserve. However, I'm still here after a year of ttc but no luck and no obvious answers. Conceived easily for the first 6 cycles and then absolutely nothing. Would you consider ivf? DH is getting himself testing then we are going ahead with it. I think for us, after a year of trying that's our last resort (I SO don't want to have ivf but I SO want a sibling for DD so very conflicted) just know you're not alone 💕

Thanks @MrsCristianoX but this was always the last cycle I was going to TTC for even.before miscarriage 1. Miscarriage 2 last month... I sort of knew that we wer wout or luck. But I was so hopeful still. Which is so utterly silly. Not sure why I let myself think it might happen.

@mummatara ughhh the may miscarriage took 11 weeks to clear on it's own😭

@EsmeSusanOgg I think everyone feels like that cd1 don't think about it now..hormones at a high. Sorry about AF 🥲 I hit the right times this month and am not expecting anything to the extent DH booked a weekend away for us in December. Xx

No luck this month 😥period has turned up. And I hit the right time. But not sure I properly ovulate following miscarriage.

My TTC journey for No.2 so far....

TTC cycle 1 in May time. Get pregnant. Miscarriage mid July (around 12 week mark).

TTC a few weeks later. Get period Aug. TTC first proper post M cycle. No luck (period exactly on time in Sept). TTC again, get positive test day period due early October. But start bleeding heavily 4 days later. Wait for negative pregnancy test and TTC again. But my period has just shown up.

I just don't think this is going to work for me for No.2. I'm pretty heartbroken tbh. But I really don't want to TTC anymore. But I'm 38... With low ovarian reserve hormones (apparently).

Kiddo 1 (and now probably only) is already 4. In the unlikely event anything happens now, he'll be over 5. I feel like I've let him and everyone else down tbh. He's been every sweetly asking for a sister or brother because his friends all have siblings. And he is such a lovely kid, I would have loved another.

Not sure how DH will take it. As he's so lovely and a great dad, but I know he'll be sad that our family won't be expanding.
