Ttc after miscarriage thread #8

[Miami81]

Hey. Just starting new thread. Hope the rest of you find it.

Welcome gracie i decided to wait for af just so i can see my body back to normal although I think i ov after i thought so i may have caught I've had a bit of cramping but that's gone now and also funny boobs. So although I don't normally have any sensation in my boobs before or during af i think af may show soon it's either 8 or 9 days after ov.

Sorry for your loss Gracie

How's everyone doing?

I'm due af next Wednesday, so half way through the 2WW. Feeling quite symptomy but not getting too attached to the idea.

Had two nights of mad baby dreams in a row. Last night that my new born son was given to me, bloody, wrapped in a blanket, in the carpark at my office, and then when I wasn't looking he started chomping on a muffin.

The night before, that I gave birth in my living room at home, then couldn't find the baby anywhere as there were papers all over the floor. Eventually found it, and someone else was breastfeeding it, on my sofa.

Got a bit more energy after having my B12 injection. Really sore veiny boobs and huge nipples, and had a funny tummy again yesterday.

How many days after you ov anne does your af come? And all sounds promising anne. I could do with some energy do you want to share. Need some sunshine ☀

I'm due on next week too Anne although will be my first AF since MMC so not sure what to expect.

We did DTD last week around ovulation but may have missed it. We shall see. I hate this wait!!

Symptoms sound good Anne fingers crossed for you. How many cycles are you past MC?

I had a bfp at 13dpo last cycle fluff. I know it's statistically highly unlikely I catch again this month, but it's been a statistically improbable last 6 months for us, mostly in a very bad way, so you never know!

I've only had one af since August so not sure on where my cycle is at but it's usually about 24 days.

Fx for you user People have mixed experiences, as ever, but my af wasn't that and at all. They're usually heavy and painful but it wasn't as bad as usual. Though lasted long enough and was heavy enough to be convincing, if that makes sense!

I had a MMC in November, took a month off, then bfp again last month and had mc at 5 weeks. So no cycles since the last one.

Sending you sunshine, energy and cake fluff

Do you know how your iron levels are?

Yeah i think i was about 13/14dpo when i got my bfp last times and on my first it was more like 21dpo. I just feel like my af is coming soon but only 8dpo just really crampy on and off i don't know about my iron levels no one has bothered with me since surgery. I got bfn 2 half w after surgery. Ohhh cake mmmmm. Ha thanks anne I'm desperate you get your sticky baby sounds like you've been through so much.

User if my body works right I'm due af next week too. ☺️

Could be a big week for us next week ladies

I've just downloaded and fertility app....I know I'm going to turn into a possessed women testing constantly

You're so kind fluff, thank you x I really would like an actual baby, a soft, squidgy, gorgeous baby that's half me and half DH, that we can love and cherish and watch grow into a whole proper person

God, I'm about to bawl. Sodding hormones. Feeling really sick today, that and the tummy makes me think it's a bug. Bugger.

Which app have you gone for user, and when are you testing? How about you fluff?

Aw Anne it will happen for you. Positive vibes being sent my way to you. I'm actually seeing a spiritual healer?! (Not sure if that's the correct name for her) at the weekend as my mum recommended her to me. Meant to help with positive energy and I thought why not I'll take anything at though moment!

Just downloaded kindara, more to keep track as I can never remember my dates! Well I'm due on next Wednesday (according to my app) but they would be classing my erpc as last months period date...not sure if that's correct or not! See what happens and need to resist the urge to test before due date! The last pregnancy I fainted and had really low blood pressure and generally felt crap at the start so that was my key to test! What about you are you testing or waiting until missed AF?

Is it a reiki sort of thing? Talking or a treatment? Sounds fascinating! With you on taking what you can get at the moment Thanks for the vibes.

I find Ovia a really useful app. Some people find the americannness of it annoying but I like how easy it is to use. And you add as much or as little data as you fancy.

Your plan sounds right, I've used dates of mcs as LMP and it's tends to work out.

I fainted last cycle as well! Are you a serial fainter or was it a shock? I have low BP but haven't fainted for ages so I did wonder.

I'll see if af feels like it's going to show Monday or Tuesday and then test if not I think. I need to find out before too long if it is a bfp as need to get hcg tests at the hospital and start on the clexane injections.

Yes Reiki vibe I think, must admit I'm going with an open mind and see what its about.
I do have low BP, often feel faint and light headed but don't tend to actually faint too often. My last one I ended up in hospital as I banged my head in the shower and cut my eye open. Have a lovely scar to remind me of the situation now too! They must have asked me 10 times "any chance you could be pregnant" went home bought a test and I was!!

Think I will see how I feel too early next week. It's so hard to not get excited isn't it with the 'what if' thoughts x

Ovia is great. Although ill only use the fertility not pregnancy app going forwards as it made me too excited as it kept showing the size of the baby.

I'm about a week behind as erpc was 4 weeks today but ov last week. Anne when you get your rainbow 🌈 enjoy that new scent as it does fly by, user that sounds interesting keep us updated I've had healing in the past for my emotional well-being but was a very long time ago when my partner died. I'm not using any apps until I'm pregnant. And as for testing i think I'll have af if it doesn't come by Tuesday I'll see how I feel.

Hi everyone.
Hello to new people and very sorry for your losses.
I rang the rmc today to see if they had my test results. So my bloods are absolutely normal for clotting function. I am slightly gutted, is it wrong that I wanted there to be something wrong that could be easily fixed.
So going it alone again. Apparently they forgot to book my scan for fibroids etc, so hopefully that comes through quickly.

Hey Miami, well, good there's nothing wrong, but absolutely understand the wanting something to fix because I'm in the same boat. Did they mention baby aspirin? And what about when you get your bfp, can they offer closer monitoring?

Keep chasing up the scan. I had a scan years ago for a suspected ovarian cyst. Turned out to be weird pain from my appendix scan, but they discovered a small fibroid. I'd totally forgotten about it till the MMC, and it seems to have disappeared as I've had loads of scans and it's not there.

Have you had them before?

Hope your weekend was fun!

@AnneLovesGilbert as a fellow B12er, can I ask you a few questions?

Do you get sore boobs after an injection? Mine feel a bit sore, although I think I'm symptom spotting.

I've been feeling down since my injection on Monday, how long does it take your to feel better?

And finally, has your doctor spoken to you about b12 in pregnancy?

Go for it sock!

Never had sore boobs from it, no after effects apart from a sore arm and only sometimes. Sore boobs could be bfp symptoms, hope so for you

I think I'm feeling a bit more peppy today and had my last one Monday. I find the worse I've been feeling before - e.g. if I've been run down or had af the week before - the longer it takes to feel better. I used to find the last two weeks dragged so GP changed it to 10 weekly, not 12 weekly.

My GP ordered full bloods when I was 5 or 6 weeks pg for a base line and they were good so she was happy for me to keep on 10 weekly. She was going to keep monitoring them and I could have had the jab more often if needed. I've had them for years as I don't absorb B12 any other way so my levels are pretty stable.

At my booking apt the midwife freaked out about it loads and said I had to be under consultant review (I also have another benign condition) but my RMC consultant isn't fussed about it at all.

Thank you @AnneLovesGilbert I've only been properly treated for b12 deficiency since September. I found a great support group on Facebook as sometimes I feel that my GP just doesn't understand the condition properly.

I feel a smidgen happier this afternoon, left work early for an opticians appointment which I whizzed through and I'm home before my husband. This is a rare hour or so to myself, which I'm using productively to lie in bed and eat malteasers.

Anne forgot to say thanks for the lovely sunshine ☀ it's beautiful.

Miami I know how you feel. I was really hoping for an easily fixable problem when I went to the clinic. Instead all I got was off you go, keep trying, keep your fingers crossed and next time you can have reassurance scans at EPU. I was so disappointed to begin with but have reconciled myself with it now.

socks lying in bed eating malteasers sounds like an excellent use of your time!

I agree miami, at least if you can fix a problem you know it will be better the next time.

What tests did they run btw? I only had thyroid and anemia tests. I might try and get some done.

Would fibroids show up in a regular ultrasound? I had one to see my uterus was clear and the scanning person said they were happy with my ovaries but not sure where fibroid would be?
