TTC after MC (#7) - fx for better times ahead

[CarrotVan]

Support, shoulders to cry on, virtual gin and the best cheer leaders MN can offer you. We've been there and it's awful but we'll help each other through to better times.

Getting worried. Had the runs (sorry tmi!)...had this last time I mc.

I thought you didn't test 'untill' your AF was late?? X

Could just be hormones hun, I would say speak to a doc, but no doctors open till Tuesday now due to bank holiday. Just keep an eye on it, if it persists perhaps give your emergency gyne unit a call (would say call your epu but I'm assuming they may be closed over weekend) x

I'm not saying there's anything they may be able to actually do, but they may be able to offer some words of advice and reassurance? X

This is why I haven't been to docs. Convinced it won't last. Trying to make it to 7 weeks without bleeding. No I tested 3 days late and had an evap.

reebok have you eaten any spicy food? I woke up at 4am the other day with a dodgy tummy, convinced I had food poisoning and it would be the end of my pg. A bit of Dr Google and I found the answer, the pg hormones make your digestive system extra sensitive and spicy food, which contains irritants anyway, can cause big problems. Could it be the case? Stay well hydrated and rest.

Would anyone count this?
It came up within ten minutes...

Fruit, I did actually have some spicy food. Been craving it like crazy! Spice never affects me usually but what you said makes sense. Fx that's all it is!

Paws I can see a faint line if I squint. On the phone though! Retest tomorrow! Fx for you!

Definitely looks like a line to me, paws. FX for you!

I am not pregnant this month but AF is late. Bah.

Can't see it too well on my phone paws, do you have a frer or superdrug test?
That'll be it then Reebok, I'm the spice queen normally, begging for extra chilli in everything but I had my usual level of spice and got terrible problems! Going to avoid it for the next few weeks then reintroduce gradually.

Thanks guys, I done a FRER at 8am and was neg...well I say neg, if I tilted and squinted then there was a brief hint of a line! (could also be imagination, but that's how my last bfp started off)
The ic was done at about 4pm with only holding wee for a couple of hours and I drank in that time too!
Definitely never had an evap that appeared that quickly and that apparent
I'm feeling pretty certain of tomorrows results, bbs are killing me, I've been burping like crazy, sick once due to bad reflux, and upset stomach today!
Thanks for the advice about spicy food, I love my chilli sauce, on EVERYTHING...but they suggest spicy food to try and encourage labor, so would make sense that our body's don't appreciate being bombarded with chilli and such

mama sorry no +hpt this month, you're not out till AF shows though x

Exciting paws when is af due? Glad you can learn from our mistakes re: spicy food!

Major diarrhoea today, feel like death warmed up! Definite bfp this morning...
I've been wondering if taking a low dose asprin may help this time around...(obviously I know it could only possibly prevent mc if you have been diagnosed as having blood clotting issues)
My fertility tests won't be for at least another month, I know it wouldn't do any harm if taken and not needed, but I'm worried about needing it and not taking it?

That's a definite line there paws! Congrats Hun! Re the aspirin, no advice but I'm sure someone will be along shortly who knows.

paws!!!! Fx for you

Congrats paws!!!! Sooo happy for you. Fingers crossed everything will be ok. Regarding Asprin...my knowledge is that there is no harm in taking it in low dose for a couple of week.

Hope you don't mind if I have a bit of a whinge.

Some friends of ours are celebrating their first wedding anniversary today. Their wedding day was the day I got my BFP for the first of three unsuccessful pregnancies. It's such a sad thought that I will forever be reminded of my first MC on this day every year. We were so happy that day

(We didn't tell our friends I was pregnant and I would NEVER let it slip that it's a sad anniversary for us)

Congratulations paws - so pleased for you.

I think go for it on the aspirin. I went to see a private fertility specialist after my mc as a was worried to start trying again in case history repeated itself and knew the NHS wouldn't do anything. Anyway, he said to let him know as soon as I got a positive and he would prescribe aspirin and progesterone on the basis that it won't do any harm but will support a healthy pregnancy xxx

Congratulations Paws!

I'd be wary of taking aspirin without specific advice from your dr. I'm heterozygote for "sticky blood" or clotting, which means I inherited one set of faulty genes from my parents, the other set are normal. My GP mentioned about taking aspirin, so I started taking whilst waiting for my results from the RMC. But my consultant at St Marys, Manchester, is adamant that the advice about taking aspirin is out of date and may do more harm than good. Don't panic if you've been taking it though!

Sorry to go against the tide here but that's just what I've been advised

Just popping by to check in having not been on mumsnet for ages but wanted to say a massive congratulations to Paws. I am so so pleased for you and fingers crossed it is smooth sailing from here!

Thank you all so much for your congratulations and advice!

Going doctors tomorrow to see what they say about progesterone and aspirin... Xx

My symptoms have pretty much subsided now apart from a few...bit concerned

Wow paws congratulations!!! I'll be back soon for a proper catch up x

paws congratulations after a tough time for you x

Thank you ladies

reebok how long did the cramps last for? Got some nasty cramps in uterus today at 12dpo...im guessing just due to changing shape and such? I know how you were feeling, keep expecting to see blood everytime I pop to the loo

Went doctors today to ask about progesterone and aspirin etc, as I've heard good and bad about both...
Being referred to gyne in hospital to follow me closely with this pregnancy as I've recently lost two-in-a-row. They going to monitor my progesterone, speak to me about meds, and sort out an early scan!
I only hope there's a heartbeat when we go for scan, it'll be just a few days before holiday, and I can only imagine how the holiday will be if the scan before we go shows nothing...should be one by then though surely? Hb starts anything from 5-7 wks right?
