Hello all,

A new cycle unfortunately started for me today. I really thought last cycle was going to be the one but unfortunately not the case and AF has shown her ugly face!

I had an early miscarriage in early September and this was the first cycle back TTC #1

Just wondering if anyone wants to join on the journey this month - always nice to be able to speak to people in the same situation!

Baby dust to all x

@rosecbrm sending you lots of love. Glad you've got another scan tomorrow at least to get more clarity.
So so sorry you're you're going through this.

@Biscuitsarelife1 not good unfortunately, measuring 6w5d and not fetal pole could be seen, just an enlarged yolk sac. Doesn't look promising according to the lady who did the scan, potentially looking at a missed miscarriage so if it's confirmed as failing will have to be medically or surgically managed.

Been referred to the EPU for further scans, got one tomorrow hopefully. Will keep you updated x

@rosecbrm I'm okay thank you lovely!

Awww okay, not long to go! Good luck! Do let me know how you get on! As horrible as the nausea is, a good sign of all the hormones kicking in! Hope you feel okay and it doesn't last too long for you.

@Biscuitsarelife1 ahhh amazing! Nearly halfway!

I'm good thank you, I think everything is progressing as it should as I haven't had any signs for otherwise!

According to LMP I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow.

Got a scan booked for just over 7 weeks, so in just over 2 weeks time 🤞🏼 xx

@Biscuitsarelife1 thank you so much my lovely, I hope you're ok?

I had a positive digital last night so I'm chuffed about that!

Biscuitsarelife1 · 27/03/2024 02:58

@rosecbrm oh wow! This is amazing, congratulations! Keep us posted on the clear blue test! I highly recommend the boots early test- I took mine on period day and the line was so strong so a lot more reassuring!

MaryHua · 26/03/2024 15:48

@rosecbrm defo positive tests there! Mine looked similar and I tested positive at 3 weeks 5 days as well so exactly the same as you. My digital showed positive on the same day so chances are your's might too!

Ahhh this is so exciting!
All 3 of us due in 2024. A lovely wee bundle to arrive in your house @rosecbrm just before Christmas?! ♥️♥️♥️

@MaryHua yes that's it! Amazing 🥰

It was quite faint tbh, but if I'm going off when I usually ovulate I'm only around 10/11 do. I'll attach a picture! Top was yesterday evening (super faint!) and bottom was this morning. They seem darker in person but are still so faint none the less. I've got a clear blue early digital coming today so I'll do that tomorrow maybe!!

Amazing that's really reassuring, the doctor said this morning that is really normal but you can help but think the worst sometimes! Xxx

CD1 - Anyone else?

Hey @rosecbrm think I've confirmed the right person. Can you let me know?

Oh that's still super exciting that a BFP showed up so early on the tests. Was it a strong second line? I took mine 3 days before my period was due and got my positive so it happens all the time.
Glad you got a blood test too, but sounds like you're on the way!

I also had period like cramps around the time but I took all that as further implantation 🤞♥️

@MaryHua thank you so much lovely, I've just added you on Facebook (hopefully got the right account!)

Going off when my last period starts (1st March) I am suuuuuuper early, 3 weeks and 5 days! I'm feeling good, got lower back and pelvic ache, literally feels like I'm about to come on... but I think that's normal? I technically haven't even missed my period yet, I'm due on in 2/3 days but no spotting as of yet, hoping it stays that way!

I spoke to my dr about my progesterone levels this morning and she's sent if off to obstetrics to review whether any action is needed. She didn't seem concerned as my levels were only slightly lower at 26.7 and the ideal level is 30 and over xx

@rosecbrm aw no problem at all! It's been so lovely chatting with you both too, and sharing our journeys.

Just got on a late lunch break at work but have been thinking about your good news this morning and couldn't wait to message again today. How are you feeling? How many weeks do you think you are about? 4 or 5?

Not really sure how to go about connecting, but is there an instant message service at all on mumsnet? I still don't really know how to navigate my way around haha! If not then you can add me on fb if you'd like - it's Sarah Hua (I'm the profile pic with just me holding a glass of fizz in the African plains haha). Again no pressure whatsoever to add me. Just figured fb might be safer way of sharing my contact rather than posting my mobile number here

@MaryHua thank you so much lovely, I really needed to hear that!

You guys have been amazingly supportive throughout this whole process, all whilst having your own pregnancies to worry about so thank you so much.

Absolutely, would love to connect on Facebook or WhatsApp! Be great to have someone to chat to through all of this ❤️❤️❤️

MaryHua · 25/03/2024 22:54

@rosecbrm OMG!!!!
That's amazing! Tentative but huge congratulations.

A positive is a positive, and that's what we need to focus on for now.
The outcome of previous pregnancies shouldn't have any fore-bearing on the outcome of this one because if I remember rightly there was nothing spotted at your anatomical scans etc that were alarming.

Honestly I am so so so happy for you.
Don't you worry at all about your new job, that will work itself out. Just focus on keeping yourself well, taking your supplements now and getting the necessary appointments set up. The rest will all fall into place.
Also, I'm so over the moon for you, have been crossing all my fingers and toes for you but didn't realise that it would happen so soon for you with all that's been going on. But all it takes is just 1 sperm and bingo!
If you are feeling overwhelmed or want to chat, reach out to us here. Apologies it takes so long to read these messages at times - my notifications are so delayed for mumsnet. If you fancied connecting via fb or WhatsApp let me know - but obviously no pressure there whatsoever. I know it can be a very personal and private time.
Congratulations hunny 💗♥️💗

@Biscuitsarelife1 @MaryHua ladies I cannot believe it, I randomly did a test tonight as haven't had spotting like I usually do and it's a BFP.

I'm in complete shock! I wasn't tracking anything at all, we had sex once in what I assume was my fertile period and that's it! I literally cannot believe it. So happy.

But I'm also scared for a number of reasons now, what if it ends up like my last pregnancy, I've literally JUST started my new job last week and I've also had my progesterone level back from my day 21 bloods and it is slightly below the normal range (which I knew!). Help ahhhhh!!!

Hey @Biscuitsarelife1 lovely to hear from you and your updates!! Congrats on wedding and honeymoon and also your promotion ☺️ so lovely that you're getting that break away, second trimester glow well timed! Hope the pregnancy is going well for you.

@rosecbrm 100%... and remember as well that many of who we work with also have kids so have perhaps felt the way you feel at some point or other. It's your right to have a child. Our workplaces will carry on and there should be no judgment. You won't be letting anyone down. It's just part of life, as @Biscuitsarelife1 says xxx
