TTC after miscarriage thread 13 💕🌈✨💛

@FfayeN 🙌🙌 hope my bloods are good or I'll have to bow out gracefully. God I know I can't be bothered but gotta keep him on side..I can't be pestering him then be like NO when he asks 😂

@Babydustmamma 🤣🤣 no worries I'll sort them out for you once I've had some dinner the DS is refusing to sleep atm and I'm starving hopefully he drops off soon 🤞🏼😭

@ChloeN I wouldn't mind if it showed up tbh at least it would be a fresh start like you say but the cramps have gone so it was probably nothing 😂 MC bleed started 3.5 weeks ago so I'm thinking it probably isn't AF my cycle wouldn't usually be that short but stranger things have happened so you never know 🤷🏼‍♀️

@bubble55 i agree lovely! They’re all really strong lines for that early on. Even though it’s torture, maybe try testing every other day instead? Sending luck and love x

@Aprilsunnyday well I bought it on a whim and found that if you sleep with your hand under the pillow or duvet… the temp is affected… which blows my mind as it’s to be worn at night, while you sleep 🫠😶 I think if you can reliably sleep with your arms out of the blanket ALL night then you’re golden but that’s just not be 😂

@ROZRAX I’m thinking I might do the same 😅 I can feel it spilling over and affecting everything, the not knowing. Even if I came away and they said you’re absolutely fine, it’s just down to chance atleast that would put my mind at rest a little ♥️

@FfayeN I can't even..😂 I need a hobby🤣 I think my hormones have dropped awaiting AF. Don't feel as crazy anymore. DH still walking on eggshells though..he's all like when can we DTD but like said in a nicer way. I knew what he meant but I was shattered yesterday. Told him Thursday night 🙈

@bubble55 ❤️

@FfayeN hey yeah the last one is from a box off Amazon, the others are from a box I got from Superdrug. I never knew batches could show differently 😬 I have another 3 FRER’s left as I’m ashamed to say I’m paranoid about it. Thank you you’ve made me feel a bit better x

@bubble55 don't worry lovely. I've been on this board for way too long and pregnancy tests in the early days aren't a good way to assess. I know it's all we have but the line still looks really good. I'd try and hold off for a couple days xx (easier said than done I know)

@MrsCristianoX no that’s today. I’m worried it’s not got any darker than the first one I took on Monday, but they are all dark. The past two losses my tests got lighter and I’m paranoid it’s happening again. It’s so unsettling.

@Babydustmamma Thank You.

Has anyone ever done an at home fertility blood test/check. I’m down a rabbit whole looking at those and wonder if it would be quicker rather than joining a very long NHS queue and rather a first step rather than paying for full fertility check privately

@Babydustmamma thanks for sharing the screen shots on Mira, I took a look after your mentioned about it! It's nice you find it very helpful!!

Whats the con about Ava thats not helping you? :) I was planning to order one the other day on impulse! (we try everything don't we lol😂)

I have got neccesary vitamins and bought 10 acupuncture sessions. I think I need to do more exercise but struggle to find time. Maybe I should try harder!!

@ROZRAX ive only used Mira for a month, so I can’t say it would be enough for the GP to take it seriously unfortunately but I think it helps them understand how you’ve reached the concern and validates why you’re seeking help.

also @ChickenT2b you’re so right! I find social media so triggering. There should be a section where you filter out key words that may be upsetting. Being bombarded with gender reveals etc when you’re ttc, especially after loss is just 🫠

@bubble55 a little? Is that the 11dpo one? They are all great lines x

@ChickenT2b i hear you with the Instagram reels. I’ve never searched for BFP videos yet there they are! But often in German 😂

Lots to catch up on!!

@Babydustmamma with your progesterone and estrogen readings being “lower” has that led to you getting any treatment to help? Would the GP rely on those or order own tests to confirm? Thanks

@mummatara thanks lovely, I think I’ve saved the links on my Amazon I’ll double check I did, might need to ask again🤣 would you be okay with AF coming so it’s a fresh start? Xxx

11dpo-13dpo in order. Does my bottom test look lighter? I have SUCH bad anxiety. I wish I never knew about test lines being darker and progression. Two losses and I’m really anxious about this pregnancy 😞😢

@ChickenT2b these were the results from my estrogen and progesterone during the past cycle - which was really handy to know but also waaaay lower than the ‘average user’ 😅…. So it’s kind of blunt and might lead to more spiralling, depends if more info helps you cope I guess!♥️

@ChickenT2b awwwh lovely have just seen your comment above and I am sending love ♥️ There’s just no feeling like it is there, you’re trapped in this cycle of waiting and waiting each month. Have your cycles returned to normal since your loss? ♥️

the Mira is really good for providing brutally honest info - but it’s a bit of a Pandora’s box because you can just go down a rabbit hole of testing testing testing. It’s really precise and sensitive, so that’s a plus - but I found that because my levels weren’t where I wished they were my anxiety spiked so hard that I wonder if it had a knock effect. I do think that more info is a great tool and if you’re getting healthy levels of LH, estrogen and progesterone that would be really reassuring. I’m going to use it again this month and I can feedback ♥️ I’d say if you are tempted make sure you use a discount because they’ve usually got a 15% off or something and that atleast a takes it down a little ♥️

@mummatara yes please to the links! I’m a sucker for a good vitamin list… at this point I think I’m rattling around already 😂

@Babydustmamma sorry about your mc. Mine was in March this year and still trying.
Do you recommend the Mira? The cost puts me off but I think I do get a little anxious about testing too and especially if I do it at the wrong time and then second guess if it’s even correct.

Hello again ladies. I hope everyone is ok and the pregnancies in here are progressing well? It’s useless to try and keep up with you lot 😃 plus I try to keep my mind a bit clearer when I’m out of the fertile zone. Emphasis on try!

Is anyone else around cycle 6 post miscarriage? Googling and self diagnosing every single infertility problem under the sun to prove they will never get pregnant again? 🙌🏻

Just had a cry at the lovely BFP videos and posts that appear, unrequested, in my Instagram search. Sigh.

And yes, I’m rattling around with you all, spent a further £90 on vitamins today 🤦🏼‍♀️

Also @TheBirdintheCave its a bit of a late response but 100% with you on those that come in just to share their obvious BFP. This is why I left the general TTC group, especially when they’ve been TTC for like 30 days 🙈. BFPs in this group provide more hope though 🤞🏼

@ChloeN oh rubbish ☹️ please join me in the vitamin bankruptcy 😂 let me know if you want links for anything. I've used the ones she recommends on her supplement list didn't want to stray incase I bought something rubbish 😂 I'm having wicked cramps today 😳 maybe I'm joining you with AF 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔

@Fuckallthetories congrats 🥳
