I am so sorry amy. That is awful that it has had this big a toll on you. I wish you all the best. You are a lovely person and have been a wonderful support here.

purpleviolet1 · 30/07/2016 15:46

Amy so sorry to hear that. Thank you for your company and wishing you all the best for the future. Take care of yourself and enjoy your kids!! Xxx

So still having very feint postitive or negative tests so figuring they will all be negative soon.

But on the positive note ff has finally given me an ovulation date of Monday which ties in the the vast amount of ewcm, normal ovulation pain and rise in temp. So I feel like my body is moving forward and I am in the tww at 5do!

Hi all, may I join you. I was 10 weeks but found out at a private scan that the pregnancy hadn't developed past 6/7 weeks. I started bleeding next day on 10 July and just had my first negative pregnancy test so we will start trying again. I only spoke to one Dr through the whole thing and she just called to give me my second hcg result and say they didn't need to see me again- she didn't say how long to wait to try again do we will just go for it. Very worried it will happen again.

INeedNewShoes · 31/07/2016 09:20

Welcome Catlady Smile but sorry about your missed miscarriage. The same happened to me. I found out at 11 weeks that the foetus had stopped growing at around 7, despite having seen a healthy heartbeat at 7 weeks.

Please try not to worry too much. When you've had only one miscarriage you are statistically no more likely to have another one than anyone else. I know those words only offer a small amount of comfort but we have to try and keep things in perspective (or we'll go potty!).

Amy I am so sorry about your situation. It's such a lot to deal with. I hope you're ok Flowers

jodiebee664 · 31/07/2016 09:20

Oh Amy am so very sorry to hear that, sending hugs. Do you think the tttc has had an impact? I hope you guys can work through this but if not, I wish yiu a happy future.

Catlady - sorry for your loss, all of us on here understand, unfortunately the docs will just leave you to it now...it's totally up to you guys when you feel ready to try again.

mrs and jpeg I had my first acupuncture session yesterday and it made me feel really good and positive. Even just talking it through with her helped...thanks for inspiring me to do it as it's something I'd never have considered before!

Catlady100 · 31/07/2016 09:53

Sorry to hear the same happened to you 😞. It seems so common and I had no idea.

AmyB1986 · 31/07/2016 10:00

Thank you everyone for your support.
I think a mixture of things have caused us to split, ttc being a major one and me being so ill also.
I don't think we can get through this this time. We have such bad luck with everything in life there has to come a time when you need to give up and that's the time now.
I'm coping quite well but then he hasn't moved out yet so I'm sure the break down is going to happen when that time comes.

Good luck everyone, will miss you all so much xxxxxx

jodiebee664 · 31/07/2016 10:32

So sorry Amy, and sorry you've has such bad luck, life is unfair!! Wishing you well and sending love x

amy I'm so so sorry that you're going through this. Thinking of you. Flowers

Welcome catlady I'm sorry you find yourself here, I do hope you recover quickly and are getting lots of rest. Sorry for your loss.

jodie that's amazing you feel so great about acupuncture! I still have not got myself organised to go!!

I may be a bit absent for a couple of days, my nan passed away this morning, quite a shock but at the same time knew it would happen if that makes sense.

INeedNewShoes · 31/07/2016 11:03

Flowers jpeg It's still sad even when it's not unexpected.

Hopefully see you back here next week.

Alb1 · 31/07/2016 11:07

amy I'm so sorry, can't imagine what your going through Flowers

jpeg so sorry for your loss, I hope it was as peaceful as possible and that you and your family are ok.

catlady sorry about your baby and that you find yourself here, I hope you get lots of support here though.

I keep falling off the thread with so much going on, the hits just keep coming here, our house is rented and the landlord now requires it back to sell so we now have 2 months to find somewhere else to live. Although we are not doing badly as others on here today obviously. I hope everyone else is ok today

Brenna24 · 01/08/2016 09:34

Hi and welcome Catlady. So sorry for you loss.

Also very sorry to you JPEG. It is always a horrible shock, even if you know it might happen.

Wilson2213 · 01/08/2016 09:45

Hi, I just started a new thread, then spotted this thread. Sounds like you guys know what I'm going through. I just need people to talk to. Just had my 4th misscarriage in a row. I just can't believe it. I've had all kinds of blood tests to see if there is a reason why this keeps happening and everything is apparently fine. It's not fine! Doctor said its just bad luck, how unlucky can two people be? I'm gutted.

jodiebee664 · 01/08/2016 12:57

Hi Wilson, welcome and sorry for your losses. Any mc is tough but more than one is really hard. And whilst it's great to be told nothing is wrong, it still doesn't help you understand and know it won't happen again. I do feel for you, I;ve had 2 and just wanted answers.
There are however lovely ladies on this thread who've had 2 or more and are now pregnant so please find hope in these stories, it can happen...as many have said...getting pregnant can be the hard bit so at least we can get to that part.

Hello ladies can I join? I was on one of the earlier threads in January (i think it was this one anyway!) I fell pregnant but sadly that pregnancy ended in my 3rd mc in March. I've been off the TTC merrygoround while I've had investigations that seem to have gone on forever (chose to really cover all bases and went to three different clinics, requiring either 1-3 cycles after mc to do tests)! I have enjoyed the forced break as I think I needed to recover emotionally. We are TTC again next cycle (estimated ovulation 22nd August-ish!) and I'm already freaking out!! Not sure I'm quite ready and I have stalled last months TTC because I didn't feel so. but then I am beginning to think that delaying it is prolonging the anxiety and I just need to go for it now. But I'm petrified. I have been to Coventry and been advised to take progesterone and prednisolone next pregnancy (also hopped on the pred thread as well!) and currently trying to sort out that prescription with my GP (headache!!) fingers crossed it all comes together and we get a sticky bean this time. Good luck to everyone out there TTC as well, and so sorry to hear about some of the bad news recently. Hugs to those who need it. Thinking of u Xxx

jodiebee664 · 01/08/2016 15:26

Hi everyone, can I join? My oh and I are ttc a bit loosely after medically managed MMC a month ago. I posted a thread earlier but unfortunately got no response so wondered if any of you lovely ladies might be able to help? So I stopped bleeding nearly 3 weeks ago, followed by 5 days of spotting which took me into what Ovia said was my fertile week (I didn't think it would be due to extra week of 'period'). Was on hols so DTD during 'fertile week', thought I might have seen a bit of EWCM but probably wrong, but still haven't seen any since! Today I started spotting, cm pink - on a normal cycle AF should arrive around this weekend coming, but I never spot before hand, in fact I've never spotted before. Has anyone else randomly spotted 4 weeks after MC? I'm guessing it's unlikely I'm pg? Is it maybe AF coming early?

Alb1 · 01/08/2016 22:27

Iv not experience that 25 but welcome, I hope you do find some support here, and I'm sorry for your loss Flowers

Finally have a scan tomorrow to check if anything was left behind from the birth, should be 6dpo today and have been having a lot of stabby ovary pains on both sides, am looking forward to either getting some answers or some peace of mind

Miami81 · 01/08/2016 22:45

Good luck with scan alb. Hope all clear for you.
25, pretty much anything can happen after mc. I have had the most intense ovulation pains ever since mine, other people have had spotting at ovulation etc. The body is a weird and wonderful thing. I am mid 4th cycle since Mmc and I can honestly say that this is the first one that seems 'normal' to me!
So random spotting probably not anything to worry about, but without OPK's etc hard to tell if it is a new cycle symptom for you. Could easily be.
Sorry for your loss and best of luck with it.

InsufficientlyCaffeinated · 02/08/2016 10:16

Hello ladies, it's been a while for me since I was last here, late June I think. My due date was on Friday just gone and I spent most of July just trying not to focus on it and keeping busy so I found myself keeping away. On the day itself I managed not to think of it at all by the not recommended method of having a killer migraine and then when I decided to go for an evening bike ride when it started to ease of a little falling off my bike in a nasty painful crash. Not the ideal method of distraction but it worked...

So, still TTC 7 months after mc. Finally had a normal length cycle, last one was 31 days instead of 25 or 35 but I'm still spotting before AF. I'm getting closer to normality though, or at least telling myself that. Keep promising I'll see the dr but putting it off still.

Caught up as best I can with posts on this thread. Looks like some good news for Mrs and Purple? Good luck ladies!
