TTC after loss part 6

@Figtree11 sad to hear you have had another loss. I was hoping that there would be no recognisable names when I rejoined after my medically forced break 💔

@Melusina123 very difficult and at the time I felt great relief. Since then I feel confused again between relief, sadness and anger all mixed together.
hopefully that will pass soon

@Ncl31 sounds like the appointment was difficult but gave you what you needed, I'm so glad! 💙 Fingers crossed for good news for you soon.

They’ve said it’s very rare but not something either of us have passed on.
they’ve taken a load of bloods just to double check everything.
she essentially said “the only way you’ll get a baby is to keep trying so as soon as you’re ready to, go for it”

@Notsure31 my BBT has been haywire since my
loss.
despite having a full cycle it’s still a little all over the place.
@Figtree11 just got our results. Some comfort and relief mixed with great sadness.
but our little one had triploidy, a full extra set of chromosomes. So even if by miracle I carried to full term they wouldn’t have survived more than a few days.

they taken lots of bloods from me today to rule out thyroid issues and diabetes etc… so I finally feel like I can try again.

Was anyone’s bbt all over the place following a loss before a first period? Mine keeps fluctuating up and down. I had my hcg blood tested on Friday and it came back negative at 3.8, although I’m having a very weird situation where I’m still getting faint positives (following instructions so not evaps) on easy at home tests and frer, the hospital are perplexed by it as they shouldn’t pick up levels of 3.8. I also had a mixture of dry and egg white cm yesterday and not as much as I’d normally get before ovulation so not sure what’s going on there.

Hi I'm not sure if this helped make this baby stick around. But I did have low vit c, d and low iron and ferritan levels. Lots of spotting before an actual period. So I took some myoinsotol. Also got their dad to take Wellman supplements as his sperm quality was low 2%. Weight loss and cut out upf. Not saying it was a magic bullet. But let's face it this after 4 losses in under 2yrs desperation takes hold! I'm 35 weeks and still scared. It's a lonely horrible journey and I wish you all well xx

I just think if it is something stupid and simple (like low vitamin d), I’d rather know and fix it.

@Matthew54 I feel the same. I booked tests when I had my first mc but fell pregnant with my little girl before I had them. After the ectopic I feel like I just need some reassurance that everything is okay and I don’t want to waste months and months ttc if there is something going on!

Thanks @Esssa . We’ve decided not to test for another week and I’ve made an appointment with a fertility clinic my friends used and recommended. My husband strongly believes there is nothing wrong, we’ve just been unlucky. But I want an MOT to get assurance and assessed. I’ve just been torturing myself and I think this will help.

I'm using easy at home tests but I'm very aware of how a negative test looks. The first time I used them I wasn't sure if I saw a line or just where a line would be if it was positive. They are definitely one that could drive you mad. So maybe not great for super early as you still would be waiting to compare to the next days test.

I am on my first cycle TTC after my endometriosis removal and isthmocele repair surgery in January and I already feel so over it. It's approaching a year since the loss and I want a baby so badly but at the same time not sure how much longer I can continue going 😵‍💫 how is everyone?

My standard go tos are One Step strips, but they are slower to show anything than Boots Early pregnancy tests, despite being the same miu. A Boots test gave me my BFP in Feb, I think the One Steps followed a couple of days later.

@Matthew54 I like easy@home, never had an indent or evap on those but I have heard other people not like them

Worried I’m going nuts. I’m having all the same early pregnancy symptoms I have had before. Granted, haven’t been really keeping track of my cycle since my last miscarriage. Any recommendations for early sensitive tests?

@Figtree11 yes they’re separate clinics.
The genetic testing for done when I went in for my d&c.
im not even sure if the fertility clinic know I’ve had that done. I’ll be telling them on Wednesday if they don’t though.
it all feels very disjointed.
when I spoke to my husband on the phone just before he was asking why I feel so anxious about next week and I explained about going to the appointment alone. He’s going to speak to his schedule team to see if they can move things around for him to be able to come. Maybe he just didn’t realise how it was making me feel.
ill let you know as soon as I know anything.
im not under tommys but I did speak to them after this loss because I just wasn’t coping well at all.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had been prescribed norethisterone? I’d liked to know what it’s like, any problems conceiving after etc? xx

Oh ladies, there has been such a lot of sadness on this thread. I’ve just had a read through the last few messages. Sending you all strength.

@Figtree11 I’m not sure if this is useful information for you as I didn’t have a miscarriage but instead a TFMR at 22 weeks but I’m assuming it’s the same aftercare process regarding testing. When the initial results came back from baby the consultant rang me and explained that it could be an inherited genetic condition and that she would advise that both me and me partner were tested. I think that call was within about 8 weeks and then we were both blood tested that week. It took another 6-8 weeks to actually get the results from this as we needed to speak to a geneticist.

I’m in the 2ww at the moment. This is cycle 6 (I think) of trying. Chemical 2 cycles ago. Hoping that I get some good news soon

Hopefully it is for you. Are you being seen at a fertility centre?
mine is just a standard hospital appointment.
we have our fertility appointment on Wednesday. That is a review following the miscarriage. Hopefully they’ll be able to give us an idea of a plan for next steps.
hubby isn’t able to be at that appointment though because of work. I feel a little upset about it because I’m not sure he’s tried to get it off. But I don’t want to go on and on about it incase that’s his way of coping.
hes away with work at the minute and due back tomorrow, I’ve really struggled with him being away this time :(
