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 ♥️

Prob a bit short again blue. 26 or 27 days. I forget.

@ourstar I'm so sorry you've gone through so much. I'm not even going to pretend like I remotely know how it feels because it's really insensitive but I hope you do find at least a little bit of comfort being here. I hope things settle for you too. There's nothing to add salt to wounds than constant reminders

@ourstar welcome to the group though - in the nicest possible way - I really wish you weren't here. I don't know how you've coped with what you've gone through. It's the saddest, saddest thing to have to have gone through. I hope the SANDS group has been useful, they do amazing work. A friend who lost her babies (twins) at 23 weeks has found lots of solace in a local support group, I'm not sure if that's something you'd be able to find near you. But I don't think anyone can understand properly unless they've also been through it.

@beanhunter I'm so sorry you're out again it's all just a massive fucker innit?! xx

Thank you ladies. I'm seeing privately a recurrent miscarriage consultant. I'm having my last lot of bloods taken on Monday. Then there will be a 6-8 week wait. So I'm not actively trying until then. I'm using the wait to look after myself. Relax. And try not to think too much.
My daughter's name is Seraphina.

What a beautiful name @ourstar

@ourstar welcome, I’m so sorry for your losses. I cannot begin to imagine how hard it must have been. Seraphina is a lovely name 💗. I hope you find this group helpful and supportive.

Maybe coming to a country where you can’t flush the toilet paper wasn’t the best idea post miscarriage 😕

Hi @ourstar I’m so sorry you find yourself in this group.

zoo i would flush it anyway if it was full of blood 🙈 I'm naughty i know! Hope your okay! X

I'm cd 25, And 6dpo and my opk is near enough positive again... this is my chart so far.. confused!? I've definately ovulated as my actual postive opk was on the 27th Oct and my ovulation must have occured on the 29th because by the 30th my temp had increased more that day and remained high.. now it's gone higher again today!

Sooo confused ... day 15 after first period post mmc, CB digi had flashing faves couple of days but done opk & not even sign of a line, done a new CB digi & it has blank face. I want to ovulate 😪...any experiences like this ladies?

Havent read through all posts so I will & hope everyone is doing ok 😘

Zoo I would flush too 🙈

Ourstar so sorry you are on this thread, hopefully you will find some comfort in that you are not alone x

@ourstar so sorry to read of the awful, awful time you’ve had. I’m so sorry for your losses. Seraphina is a beautiful name for no doubt a beautiful girl.

I hope the 6-8 weeks for the bloods doesn’t drag too much, and that the results get you closer to a baby in your arms xx

@di626 maybe you ovulated but just missed the positive reading? One cycle I got a negative at 6pm, a positive at 10pm and a negative at 6am. So even though I did 3 tests in the space of 12 hours I only luckily got my positive x

Hi guys , hope everyone is doing okay. Dec 10th was my edd and feeling a bit emotional now it’s fast approaching.. my NDN is due her second any day now and I am gonna struggle a bit hearing the newborn cries I think 😢 not sure what I am going to do to mark the day. ??

I don’t know if I’m 5 or 7dpo today but feeling very boringly Normal so I think another failed cycle is upon us. If so, we have decided to take the next one as “not trying not preventing” as I just want to enjoy Christmas as much as I can. Then will start fertility investigations in January (1yr ttc).

Anyone out at the fireworks tonight? I'm a big kid - they're my favourite!

Welcome Ourstar, I'm so sorry you're here, and the you've had such a devastating time recently . Seraphina is a beautiful name .

Sorry your AF came Bean.

Di I hope you just missed a reading.

I'm impressed with your charts Blue Spotty Tiger, sorry I can't read them.

Zoo are you having a good holiday otherwise? It's freezing here in the UK, are you somewhere warm and sunny?

It's CD25 for me and BFN. I'm know probably out but I POAS every day anyway - just to maximise the dressing no-line feeling!!

*dressing = depressing

Sorry you're feeling low today Grumpy

@thegrumpysquirrel you could make a cake? That's what we did to mark the day our daughter was born? Or do you want to mark the day your baby was born - sorry not sure on circumstances.

Thanks again ladies for your kind words. I had to wait 6 weeks after my last miscarriage to have my blood taken, so I'm half way through a very long wait.

Has anyone else had problems with spotting since their losses? I always spot one day before af which I never did before. My consultant has offered progesterone pessaries to me once I get my next bfp but I think I need them straight after ov.

grumpy i have no symptoms either apart from a sharp stab in my left pelvic area at 6dpo and I'm 8dpo now. However I've never gad any symptoms with any of my 4 pregnancies and i don't even get any pms symptoms anyway so I'm totally clueless lol.
Gna buy some frers after for tomorrow fmu 🙈 af due friday i think. My chart is still nice and high.. for now 🤗

Hi ladies. I'm in hospital with horrific bleeding. They have thankfully ruled out an ectopic but I'm bleeding so much I have to stay. Really fed up. Back on the ward where I had my erpc so that sucks.

Oh no Bean, that's terrible. How are you feeling? Do they suspect an infection or something? I hope the bleeding stops soon.

Fingers crossed Bluee

Pretty dizzy and crap. I think they think it's just an awful period but don't really know.

Hello everyone. I wonder if I could please join you?

our, sadly, I can completely relate to how you're feeling as my baby boy was born sleeping at 34 weeks 16 months ago. Again, no cause found. He was our miracle baby, as he was conceived naturally after it taking 3+ years, an ectopic and 2 rounds of IVF to have my DS1. So it's been very hard not to drown in the loss of him.

I had a miscarriage in March this year and a failed IVF cycle in July so it's been a rough time.

I'm so sorry for the losses that everyone here has suffered and the sad and difficult times currently being had. It's lovely, though, to find somewhere where there's lots of support and understanding. It's a tough and sad old business this ttc after loss . So it would be nice to have some company and hand holding along the way.

Oops i meant 3 pregnancies*

bean oh goodness! I hope your okay. I bet being back there is horrible. I'm sorry, did i miss you having a bfp? X

grey thanks, i don't actually feel hopeful or hopeless this cycle i feel odd about it all.

tea aww Doll im so sorry. Mc is is hard enough but to have to propely deliver a sleeping baby must be so so tough. What was he called? X

Hi tea, sorry u find yourself here, you’ve been through it! 🙁
Very supportive group though and it definitely helps to be able to share a problem here :)

Bean, hope you’re doing ok, in the last place you want to be! :( x
