TTC post miscarriage - sympathy required

[FlossieTreadlight]

Hi there
I posted regularly on here under a different name after MC#1 and while I was expecting DD2. I had another MC in October - the whole process took 8 weeks and left me in a bit of a state...

So, started TTC after my first post-MC AF and I suspect I'm pg. it's been the same with each of my PGs so far: tingly boobs, nausea, v sore boobs, metallic taste have all led to a BFP. My period is due this weekend and I've managed to hold off POAS so far to try and prevent tying myself in knots before AF is even due... What's the problem you ask?

Well, I started cramping yesterday and had pale pink spotting and some brown gunk. Could be AF, could be implantation bleeding I guess. I'll know if my period starts properly or poas on Sunday is positive but I'm just so sick and tired of this whole process. I am able to chunter on to DH but don't feel I can speak to RL friends.

Can I have some sympathy/shared experience please? Thank you in advance.

I do feel your pain. gone our the days when a positive result meant elation. as far as I know brown gunk means older blood so I think that's positive.

miscarried at seven n a half weeks and just sort of finished my period. I really want t b pregnant but know it comes with more worry!
I think if I feel pregnant again I'll wait a while before testing...but then I have a very physical job so need t tell work straight away.
hope everything goes well for you, I'm sure it will!

Thanks smorgas - hopefully we'll both have an easier time of it

Hi flossietreadlight, showering you with sympathy from over here. Sorry for you loss in October.
I feel very similarly. I suffered a mmc in October and this is my first month ttc since normal af returned, and I am petrified. Having exact same symptoms as last time and although I want to feel excited, I just can't be. I miss that innocence that you have before you know of the devastation of a miscarriage. I feel that now future pregnancies will always be tainted with that fear.
Also, 2 close friends announced their pregnancies this week although I want to be happy for them, I am very much feeling upset that it should be my turn. I don't really have friends that 'get' how I feel. Dh is being great, but there's only so much he can empathise and support as he doesn't experience this as vividly as I do.
Just wish I could fast forward time a bit to know that everything will eventually work out ok.

Hi ladies, so sorry for your losses. I had a mmc late last year and am desperate to start ttc again but I don't think my cycle has returned back to normal yet which is really stressing me out. I had what I thought was my first AF at the beginning of the month, only to have some more spotting this week. My heart is saying that it must be implantation bleeding but my head says it can't be. Fingers crossed for you all that you get some good news soon x

Hi ladies. Can I join you?

I mc in mid-Sept. Have now had 3 normal af cycles and have just started ttc again.

Had to wait as had MRI to find out whether my melon sized fibroid will prevent me from carrying successfully again.

Am 40, so odds for another mc are 50% as it is anyway, plus the fibroid factor, makes this a scary journey to embark on. I feel your pain, OP! Let's hold hands and hope together! X

Hi Girls!! Can i join toooo!

I'm in the same boat, miscarried mid November 10 weeks in, had first cycle 17th december that finished 23rd..... Full 7 days, ttc again since last AF, period was due again as scheduled on a normal 28-30 day cycle which was on tuesday and still no sign of it, done a preg test yesterday and again today but still a BFN..... Confused and feeling down, if this AF is coming again i wish it would hurry up already so we can try again lol

How are we all doing ladies? Any news?
Am in 2ww now and scrutinising everything. I know, if I do get pregnant, there are going to be so many feeling all rolled up into one!
I found my boobs let out a little milk tonight while I was massaging in the bath...trying really hard not to get hopes up. X

Hi ladies. Fingers crossed Joosie, I really really hope you get some good news!
I've finally finished with AF now, so just starting ttc again. I always said I would be so laid back about it all and let it happen naturally, but I am pretty much obsessed with it now! I am desperate to get preganant again, but so scared at the same time.
Babytinks, it's so frustrating waiting for things to get back to normal. How are you doing now? xx
