TTC after recurrent loss

Would anyone like to join me? I have had 3 losses in the past year last one being 3 weeks ago. I saw a private doctor last week so waiting for results of blood tests and in the meantime she told me to keep trying so that's what we're doing! I'm hoping I might ovulate soon 🤞🏼

@bringmearainbow oh that sounds awful :( I hope it’s not so bad for you this time round🤞🏽

im currently CD19 so normally would’ve definitely ovulated by now. My last cycle was 31 days from the day I delivered my baby so normal length for me - just a light period. Probably because my MC bleeding lasted nearly two weeks anyway so not much time for it to build up…

im thinking if definitely ovulated but I wanted to know the date because I don’t wanna waste my FRER 😫I do have cheap premom strip tests but I find they’re not great and don’t think they’ll pick up the pregnancy early on like FRER. I think I’ll use the strips to satisfy my testing obsession but I’ll take my FRER on the 15th which is supposedly 10 days post ovulation according to my tracking app🤷🏽‍♀️

@MummaDaisy I had retained product with my last MC which wasn't confirmed with a scan because the nhs were short staffed the day I went for it and they sent me away but when I eventually got AF 10 weeks later it came out and was bloody huge 🙄 so I'm hoping this one won't be as large and will def come away 🤞🏼 what CD are you on now? I found my cycle went back to normal quickly after I had that first AF. Have you got any cheap IC tests you could waste if you get the urge to test least they don't cost much and it doesn't matter how many you do

@bringmearainbow oh no sorry to hear there’s some retainer product :( but hopefully that comes out with AF🤞🏽My first period after MC was strangely light and I genuinely feel like I had a fertilised egg last cycle that tried to implant but couldn’t because my lining was so weak… I think it could’ve been a chemical but had no confirmation as doctors weren’t sure what was causing positive tests…

im hoping this is the cycle honestly. I’m just symptom spotting like crazy but I’m not even sure if I ovulated! I’ve been taking OPK’s but they never got as dark as the control, then got light again and then started getting dark again. I just don’t know what day I wouldve ovulated and I wanna test ASAP but don’t wanna waste expensive tests 😅😫

Sorry ladies it's been a busy old couple of days 🙈 I went for my scan today before I see the dr again next week and annoyingly they've managed to leave some product in there 🙄 it's very small only about 3mm she said hopefully it will come out in my next period she also said my lining doesn't look great there's lots of blood and clots in there so I can't wait for all that to arrive with AF 🤦🏼‍♀️ she said I'm about to ovulate which I thought I might be as CM has started looking fertile she reckons it will happen in about 4 days there's lots of juicy good looking follicles there but we won't try this cycle now I want that tissue to come out first

@Amyb87 I think the wait on the nhs is about 6 months which is why we went private too. I def don't think it's overkill I think it's really hard not think there's something wrong when the 3rd rolls around and it's natural to want answers for it. I wanted answers after the 2nd but I just put it down to crappy luck 🙄 My dr didn't bother with those tests she said they weren't ness as like you we don't have a problem getting pregnant. No we have a DS who was 2 in feb we had zero problems with hun so this was such a shock. Do you have any DC?

@MummaDaisy awww lovely on your birthday that's really crappy 😢 I've got everything crossed for your tww 🤞🏼

@Thea91 thank you ❤️ it def helps to hear a positive outcome!

Not TTC right now but just dropping in to say I had 3 miscarriages, then got pregnant with my DS. Keeping everything crossed for you all.
I took progesterone until 16 weeks with my DS.

MummaDaisy · 06/06/2023 11:53

@bringmearainbow my last loss was a missed miscarriage. I found out 17th April and had medical management 21st April - on my birthday of all days 🙄😫

@Amyb87 thanks ❤️If I have ovulated then I am currently in my TWW so I’ll keep you all updated :)

Amyb87 · 06/06/2023 08:29

Morning guys.
@J2023xx yes absolutely ❤️ thank you and im also so sorry to hear about your losses. Hopefully we can create a safe space here for us to all share our thoughts and feeling during the next few months.
@bringmearainbow We got referred to the reccurent miscarriage clinic by our local hospital but that was in Feb and haven't heard anything since. So we did decide to go private for testing. We had the usual sperm analysis for my partner and I had my AMH and AFC tesred which all came back normal. I thought it might because we seem to get pregnant ok but seem to have issues after. Yesterday we had the second lot of testing which they call reccurent miscarriage testing, I'm not sure exactly what it covers but I think it's Clotting disorders and some auto immune disorders. Maybe it's a bit over kill but I felt like after the 3rd I couldnt keep trying with out ticking a few boxes. Hopefully they come back and say its all been a case of bad 'luck'.
I couldn't agree more 😂 my DP is great but I feel like he doesn't carry the same sadness I carry with me.
Would this be your first baby?

@MummaDaisy Really hoping you guys have a some good news this month 🤞❤️

J2023xx · 05/06/2023 23:04

Hiya can I join, I’ve had two losses, one at 5 weeks the other at 10 weeks. It would be nice to chat to people who understand the whole anxiety of TTC after loss. I’m so sorry for all of you for your losses 🤍

@MummaDaisy got everything crossed that you did 🤞🏼 it's a rough journey I would have days where I felt really positive then days I was like why am I putting myself through this. How long ago was the last loss?

@Amyb87 welcome lovely. Did you get testing done with nhs or private? These forums have def helped me a lot through all of mine sometimes you just need people to chat to who get what it feels like. I love my DH but he just doesn't understand my yoyo feelings on it and honestly if he knew how many sticks I peed on he would think I was bonkers I'm sure 😅 what tests have you already had done?

I get my blood results on 15th and I have a scan on weds to check there's nothing sinister looking in my uterus but tbh she said it's unlikely because I had a D&C so everything was scraped out. I already know my thyroid tests are out of whack because by pure chance I had some blood tests done by the gp when I was 6 weeks and I got sent to a endocrinologist who repeated thyroid bloods day after my surgery and my results didn't look optimal so it will be interesting to see if anything else comes back or it's just my thyroid being crap

Hi guys
Would also love to join.
I've had three miscarriages in the last year 1st 5 weeks 2nd a MMC at 11 weeks and my last was an ectopic at 6 weeks in February. We've just had our first round of basic testing which came back normal for me and my partner. Today we have had some further investigations for reccurent miscarriage which looks at Clotting and immune factors I believe... those results won't be back for about a month. So hopeful to start trying again once those results are back. We've just had a three month break due to a methotrexate injection I had for the ectopic.
I've never really reached out on these forums but I think I could do with some perspective of those who have been through similar to me. ❤️

MummaDaisy · 05/06/2023 16:31

Aw thank you for welcoming me ❤️Yeah I have been tracking and did ovulation tests but Thwy never got really dark so I’m not entirely sure if or when I ovulated 😅hoping I did though.
I wasn’t keen on tracking because of fear of it happening again but I’m trying to remain positive and I have a good feeling. 🤞🏽

@MummaDaisy hey 👋🏼 honestly anyone can join me it's all a journey isn't it ❤️ so sorry for your losses. have you been tracking your cycle at all? I haven't bothered much yet I was a bit obsessed with tracking after the first 2 but so far I'm just going with whatever 🙈

MummaDaisy · 05/06/2023 16:12

Hey I would love to join! I haven’t had 3 losses so I guess it’s not considered recurrent but I have had 2 losses in the last 5 months. One at 5.5weeks and one at 14 weeks. I am also TTC and think I just ovulated so would love to join you :)
