TTC after pregnancy loss - Love is the Drug - and lots of vitamins - thread 14

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

Shiny new thread. Hugs and supportive chat for those TTC after miscarriage or pregnancy loss ♥️

Thank you fillybee! I’ve never had this many follicles but all it takes is one good one. Fingers crossed!

Catching up from holiday.

Weasel I’m so sorry take care of yourself.

Zoo welcome... I’m sorry you find yourself here. I hope you can get cleared for swimming/diving but you may find that the bleeding makes it impossible as it’s not advised to use tampons/mooncup.

Magpie I’m sorry you are feeling down. How many cycles post the last mc?

I’m annoyed with FF which has suddenly decided I’m 6dpo which I think is impossible based on ewcm, cervix and absolute temperature (I usually get above 36.70 at least, after ovulation). How can I be post ov with same temp as during af? However if I did indeed ovulate on cd12 then my acupuncturist is a bloody magician as I’ve never ovulated that early ever!

Oh Kerry I meant to say, good luck 🤞🏼

Thanks grumpy!❤️

Good luck @KerryLeanne84! X

Wishing you lots of luck today @KerryLeanne84 X

Hi @TheGrumpySquirrel Yesterday’s doctor sadly said no to going away (which I think is sensible although disappointing), so we’ll maybe see about going later this month when things have settled down.

@KerryLeanne84 Good luck today!

Thanks ladies! Sat in costa waiting for my iui at 11 with the most preggo woman in the world next to me

Good luck kerry!

Good luck!!!

zoo they will advise you no but you can still go? X
I was advised against it when i found out at my 12 week scan the day before i flew to spain for 2 weeks that the baby had died at 9+5 which was the 30/8/17. I didn't have the actual mc until the 8/9/17 when i was 12+5 while in spain half way through my holiday. There was no way i wasn't going to go. It was all very manageable with codeine, just distressing. But that was a natural miscarriage which was over within 5 hours.
What type of management are you having? Sorry if I've missed this xx

Goodluck kerry xxx

@BlueeSpottyTiger I’m having medical management. I think the main problem with the trip we were hoping to take is that we’d be on a dive boat for a week - so getting to a hospital would be trickier (although not impossible). Knowing my luck if we don’t go, everything will be fine, if we do go, I’ll have a problem!!

Good luck today Kerry. Hope it goes well.

Grumpy, this is my first proper cycle post -MC. I had a period before but don't think I ovulated then.

Hi zoo, sorry if I’ve missed this early on but can’t u have surgery? I’m having surgery tomorrow as a day patient and midwife said in 24 hours I should b feeling ok x

@Flatwhite32 could you please add me too? I am on fb more than on here as it doesn’t open right on my phone 🙄

@weasledee I could have had the surgery but decided against it. Although I started having second thoughts when the doctors ran through all the risks just before starting the medical management, I decided i didn’t want to wait to have to be rebooked for surgery. I hope yours goes well though. X

Weasledee I am so sorry to hear what you are going through! Life is just so unfair at times!! Thinking of you at this heartbreaking time!

Zoo Hi - sorry to see you here with us. Good luck with your medical management. I also can't comment as I had surgical management in August and September - I'm sure all will be fine with medical management and you can start TTC again soon fingers crossed.

Kerry GOOD LUCK today!!!

Magpie I'm feeling the same as you! Was in my first TWW after my first AF post MC... and the bitch AF has turned up today! 2 days early!!! I knew this month was definitely not the month as I didn't have any sore boobs etc... not even on the build up to AF like I normally do! Flat I think I'm similar to you still... not getting any normal hormonal symptoms on build up to AF etc since MC . On a positive note... my cycles were always 26-27 days so I'm very close to my normal cycle length - Thinking positive and all.

for me once I get out of work... a bottle with a straw should do it lol.

Hi @Haybay1 Enjoy the wine!

Iui went great - thanks ladies! Not to not go crazy in the next two weeks 🌈

@KerryLeanne glad to hear it went well. Hope you've got some good distraction techniques for the next 2 weeks!!

Got everything crossed for you kerry....mega distractions needed for you now!

Am around 10/11dpo and trying to ignore the frer screaming at me from the bathroom drawer! Am determined not to POAS this month but wait for AF which is due Friday. (If it doesn’t come then I will let myself test Saturday). Must. Resist.

Fingers crossed @KerryLeanne84! My OPK tonight is negative, so my TWW begins today too!

@StillMissV, PM me the email address you use for FB, and I will add you.

@BlueeSpottyTiger did you manage to join the group? I definitely got your email correct. If it hasn't worked, I could try to find your profile?

@weasledee I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I had the surgery, and flew to Italy less than 48 hours later. You'll feel tired from the anaesthetic and a bit crampy, but it's otherwise physically ok. Just make sure you look after yourself.

@Haybay1 I'm on cycle 3 since my MMC in August, and my pre-AF hormonal symptoms are only just creeping back. I have the ovulation bloat, and my nipples hurt which was what used to happen pre-AF before getting pregnant and the MMC. I'm also taking vitamin B6 which is supposed to balance out hormones.

Thanks for that flatwhite , I am getting a bit nervous now to be honest.....
zoo, I had medical management in the summer and it was fine, no where near as bad as I thought it would be x

Flat thanks for that. Hopefully my hormonal symptoms will be creeping back by next month then too. I’ll have a look into B6 supplements also 👍🏼

Weesledee try not to worry you will be fine. Before you know it you’re waking up and having tea and toast and will be home. The second ERPC I had in September, I was awake 35minutes after going under GA. Like flat said it’s a bit crampy when you first wake up but the nurses will happily give you some more pain relief through your cannula and to be honest the cramps ease so much when you get up and walking around. I also went away 2 days after surgery and was fine (although couldn’t swim) but it was nice to be away. Remember to take some pads with you as the hospital one is like wearing a nappy (even more than the pads you’ll get)! When is your op?
