Welcome to the newest thread of support for those ladies who are pregnant or trying to conceive after terminating for abnormalities. Since this thread first began (almost ten years ago!) there have been stories of heart break, sadness and fear, but from these stories there have also been stories of happiness, success and most importantly, hope. Here they are, our thread babies, and may the list continue to grow:

Support thread for women who are pregnant or TTC after a termination for abnormalities - Thread 5

@Mini12 thinking of you today 
I’m not sure where you’re having your procedure but I think all of us on this thread who have been through it found the staff kind and compassionate and the awful situation wasn’t made any worse. I felt a great sense of relief afterwards that the ordeal was over (although of course it stays with me, nearly 3 months on).
In terms of TTC again, I was told it was safe straight away as soon as we felt ready (personally I’m not yet). However be warned your cycles might be a bit all over the place afterwards - mine have been out of whack.
How are you doing @Conorgog? Have you been in touch with the midwives yet? I was told by the screening midwife that if we get pregnant again I could have an extra scan at 8 weeks to date me accurately and then the NIPT as early as possible (I think 11 weeks?)
I hope they can get you in quick @Conorgog.
Urgh I’m having a rough time with my periods since the TFMR. First one - heavy. Bled all the way from the TFMR up to the period. Second one - arrived only 21 days after the start of the first one (normal for me =28-30 days), lasted 11 days, moderately heavy for 4/5 days of that. Third one - started yesterday, after 29 days so thought hooray getting back on track, BUT horrendously heavy. My first few after DS was born were too so I guess I should have expected it, but it’s miserable - having to change night time pads every 2 hours today. Dreading bedtime 
Morning @conorgog. I did another test this morning. BFN. Feeling like it still could happen because I remember with the last one I did a test I think on the weekend which was negative then got a positive the day after I missed on the Wednesday or so. So fingers still crossed. But reality is I think it's not going to happen this month. My period is due on Wednesday so hoping it just still too early to test....... 
@Mini12 I hope you are doing ok. X.
@treaclepie19 fingers crossed! It's really hard! I am already looking to next month thinking "ugh, that's a lot of midweek to try and dtd" hahahaha.
@conorgog I went a bit mad at Boots. Got 2 first response (both BFN) now I have 2 CB early detection and 1 CB digital! Cost me a bloody fortune. Going to try and restrain myself now until at least Wednesday until AF arrives by then. Last month I knew it was coming because I was really crampy 1 or 2 days before but I've already been crampy for a week so I just don't know.
