TTC after loss part 5

Just continuing our old thread. I've added anyone who has asked to stay on here. As always, anyone who is trying after a loss is welcome to join and those who have been lucky since are welcome to encourage those who are still waiting for their rainbow (if you want to stay of course )

Also for the next thread, I'm going to let someone else take over creating the new one if people don't mind. I've a lot on at the moment with tests and I'm back to work in the next few weeks after my bereavement leave with my boys. So if anyone would like to take the mantle, feel free.

Im 2dpo today and have another ultrasound on Wednesday to see if follicle has burst followed by pdg blood test.

What day did you ladies get your digital. That was an early cb digital, the weeks one isn't positive yet, so im a little nervous.

@Ella31 I don’t think the weeks one pick up until at least 14 dpo. From my experience anyway. As even the 1-2 weeks one is roughly one week since conception. I found with the weeks indicator I always tested a bit behind what I should. I personally left it 10 days between repeating the digital just so I didn’t panic x

@Ella31 bloody marvellous!!

Helloo can I please join? I've just finished my first period after a loss at 19 weeks which was essentially a MMC although we'd had 3 normal scans before then. We haven't had our debrief but I'm 37 so don't feel I have time to waste. We have 3 other DC ages 9, 6 and 2 but have always wanted a big family. Congratulations to everyone who's had their bfps this month already ☺️

@Ella31 I have everything crossed that you'll get your 🌈 and a sibling for your precious boys. It will be an anxious time but I'm sure the hospital will take good care of you and it's such a supportive community on here too if you want to share any of your worries. I'm so happy to hear your news! 🥰

Thank you so much everyone. I'm so cautious but hopeful. I really mean this to anyone still trying. I had practically given up yesterday. 8 months trying after the death of my baby sons with nothing, I was sure it wasn't going to happen. But it did. Symtom wise, just felt like my period is coming and sore boobs, but nothing out of the ordinary. Everything is possible.

@Ella31 omg !! I'm so happy for you!! Congratulations 🥰🥰 looks like your procedure has worked! Amazing news, you must be filled with so many emotions. 🩷

I'm so emotional. Happy but terrified. Definitely. Big lifestyle changes for me too though. Lost 10 pounds this month, took only natural folic acid and vit D and exercises 3 times this week. It was the first month my ovulation went back to pre my boys.

I'm just so scared though. Hope I make it to my first scan at 8 weeks.

Hi, my partner and I have been TTC our second since earlier this year. I conceived on my second cycle but I had a miscarriage this week at 10 weeks.

It took a lot of soul searching and talks to feel able to want a second. I have bipolar and I had a severe episode after having my daughter which took 2 years to recover from and involved a 10 week stay in a mother and baby unit. My daughter also had a tricky time with reflux and allergies which she still hasn't outgrown aged 4. It can still take a lot of our energy to manage so we waited until we had the headspace to potentially go through it all again.

I had a tricky time in my short pregnancy with hyperemesis. I'm still quite nauseous whilst my hormones are still dropping. I did wonder if it would put my partner off trying again. Whilst we waiting for the miscarriage to be confirmed he said it didn't seem fair that I had such a hard time for it to just end. We have spoken about it though and we would like to restart once I am able to.

So I've just had a potential spanner thrown in the works. Since Tuesday I've had pain in my abdomen area (knew it wasn't pregnancy/ttc related as I was on CD4 then). Tuesday was severe pain, had to take the day off work, spent the day writhing in pain with painkillers not touching it. Telephone appointment with the GP was useless. The only thing that stopped me going to a&e with the pain was the fear I would be told it was trapped wind and I just needed a fart 😂

Pain has improved alot since however I still have pain in my ribs. Finally got to see a GP face to face today and she said it could be gallstones! So I've been referred for a scan. My first question was "can I still keep TTC?" and she said yes which is good. Although I've just done a lot of reading on gallstones and gallbladder removal surgery and I just do not need this on top of trying to have a baby. However I also never want to go through that pain again 😅 so will just need to see how things go

My sister had gallstones as a teenager and it took them 3 years to diagnose them! By which point she was septic and had acute pancreatitis caused by the gallstones moving and blocking the pancreas. They had to wait for her to recover from the pancreatitis for her to have her gallbladder removed. She has been fine since. It creeped up during the first two years the attacks were very sporadic and it was only in the third year when she was having frequent attacks and getting poorly with them.

My mum recently was diagnosed with gallstones 6 days post op from another operation on her stomach. She had acute infection in the gallbladder and jaundice as she had gallstones that moved into her liver. This improved after a week on iv antibiotics. She has had to wait until she had recovered from the stomach surgery and her gallbladder to recover from the infection. She's due to get the gallbladder removed next week I think she will be 12 weeks since diagnosis. She was home and in pain on and off for probably a further 1-2 weeks but she was still recovering from her stomach surgery too and this was a bigger operation than her gallbladder removal will be. Since then she has been doing really well and better than she has been in probably 18 months. She's fractured her back in January 23 and has had limited mobility because of that but she is now close to her preback injury levels of mobility. She is expecting to be in hospital for 12-36h when she has the gallbladder removed.

I just thought I would give you some hope that whilst attacks can be horrendously painful it's possible to return to normal life in between times. Do seek out help whenever it flares up just to make sure none of the gallstones have gone on a little wander!

@Ella31 that's such amazing news! Fingers crossed, sounds very positive!

Thanks everyone. I'm not going to say a word to dh until I have a positive digital. I'm all to aware of the heartbreak evaps can bring.

Enough about me. I hope everyone is doing well. Where are ye all at with your cycle?

@Beanie14 welcome. I know you well from another thread. Hopefully you'll find your luck here. And don't worry about your emergency section. I had one and loads of my friends did too, they had more babies. I'm willing that once you recover fro your recent loss, you'll have good news

I understand that, but I'm optimistic for you as you've tested across a few brands 🙂 can't wait to hear his reaction once you have your digital x
