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 ♥️

Thanks ladies. Bit better today. Finally slowing down. Taking today off work too which feels like taking the piss but scared if I do too much will all start up again.

Sofa day sounds definitely necessary @bean. Look after yourself xx

Put your feet up Bean!
My bleeding post surgery for mmc last week has stopped and I feel much better. I’m still getting a very faint positive on pregnancy test but it is fading which is good (ironic!)
But honestly I feel all the symptoms of ovulation! Surely it wouldn’t be that quick???! Not doing anything about it though as still not sure if we going to pursue another baby.....

Thank you all for your wise words ❤️ We’re definitely looking forward rather than dwelling (although I did have a whinge yesterday evening!!) just waiting fo af to appear now am cd26 cramps & all are usually in full swing but nothing 😩 still early days!!

Grey & blue- those tests are looking very good I so love seeing a bfp❤️

Flat & bean- hope you are feeling better 💐💐

Grumpy- sometimes a good cry is the best thing. If your uneasy or worried seek help/advice & get as much advice as you can❤️ It’s your body so if you feel something is not right then it’s always good to have a chat at least👍🏼

I now have achy/stabbing pain in my lower back on the right side. It’s on and off but constant if that makes sense.

I'm 10dpo.. that picture is really crap 😂 it's much better in person lol. Think I'll have to buy more frers now.. another £10.50argh.

I think if I’m not pregnant there must be something wrong, the cramping is quite bad

Well lets cross our fingers you are :)
I've had the taste of blood in my mouth this morning it's been horrible.

Ah I'm gone for a couple of days on here and wtf has happened? This thread has exploded with so much going on!

grey that is a decent line! So hopeful for you! I would deffo get a FRER today and pee on it with fmu tomorrow or Friday if you can hold on that long. (I totally wouldn’t follow my own advice by the way I’d be peeing on everything I could get my hands on!!!) 🙈🙈🙈
And bluee I see it but I admit I had to squint! Hope it gets stronger over the next few days.

grumpy I’m sorry you’re feeling shit. And now cramping too. I totally agree with you about xmas and what age baby you would have had. My due date is the end of this month and I keep thinking how wonderful xmas would have been with a little 1 month old. It’s torture all the cute xmas baby stuff in the shops too. I really hope it’s early days for you and you’re not out just yet. Much love.

weasledee glad the bleeding is easing up. It doesn’t surprise me that you have ov signs already. I fell pregnant maybe a week or 2 max after my first mc this year so it’s possible but I understand you might not be ready to go through this again. ❤️ Like you I’m trying for my third and feel I have one more shot at it before I have to really think about calling it a day.

Weasledee I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. I hope everyone is being extra kind, it's such a shitty time.

So I POAS again today (managing a whole 12 hours ) and the line is definitely a bit darker - but not really as dark as it should be. I don't have any symptoms still

I decided to self-medicate with 5mg folic acid as well as the 75mg aspirin in the hope that it might change something. I'm also eating low carb (with the unavoidable half a bar of dark chocolate daily that I am addicted to). It's just a waiting game now, I guess. Anxiety is pretty much sky high.

Thanks for listening, I just don't have anyone to talk to about this IRL My local friends are all those annoying clearblue POAS types

Weasle im glad the bleeding is easing for you now xx

grey wahoo. That's great news.. welldone for waiting 12 hours hehe! :)

11dpo- Test has darkened significantly from yesterday :) I'm shocked. I feel happy and also so scared!

Hello. Hope you dong mind me joining. I’m currently going through my second confirmed miscarriage (others I suspect but were never confirmed). I have one two year old.

We’re still ttc but luckily my dr has agreed to refer me for tests, I’ve now had at least two miscarriages in four months.

Good luck to everyone x

Oh blue how exciting!!! It’s a good week for the thread
Catspaws, welcome! Sorry you find yourself here and sorry for your losses, we’ve all been there and know how sad and horrendous it is :( but you’ll find some great support here

Thank you weasledee. It’s so hard because no one really understands what it’s like or what to do. I’m happy that they’re actually doing tests now. I requested them after my first miscarriage because I had seen a heartbeat and so I was confused why, but they refused.

I had my first bloods done yesterday and hopefully I get the results either today or tomorrow.

Blue-that’s looking great 👍🏼👍🏼 Keeping everything crossed & sending lots of love❤️

Af arrived for me this morning so hopefully will be back on the ttc bus next week 😁

The cats paws-so sorry for your losses, you are defo in the right place these ladies are fab👍🏼

Grey-how’s your poas goin???

Really feeling it this morning. POAS at 12dpo and stark negative. I should have been 22 weeks pregnant but had a miscarriage in August. We've been trying to conceive since then. I know it's not a long time but it's made me a bit weepy today :-(

catspaws sorry to see you here, we're a supportive bunch.

Lovemysparkle snap! Another on day 1 here, here's to a fruitful cycle this time!

So sorry Looking at the stars BFN's are just shit. I had one on Monday at 14 DPO at it felt so shit. Much worse than AF arriving today. Finger crossed for you that you tested too early and this cycle's the one for you x

Juancornetto Thanks ☺ I'm trying to find the will power to wait a few days before testing but I know I will end up doing it again tomorrow morning lol!

@catspaws Sorry to hear what you went through on the other thread but so glad you've found this one (in a weird way). The others here are lovely and I'm sure they won't mind me saying that we've made a pretty good unit

Glad I'm not the only POAS addict in the place!! Good luck Looking at the stars. It's so hurtful to count the weeks .

GreyCloudsToday Thanks 😊. My SIL is due her baby on Tuesday and I'm dreading it (I know, I know that makes me sound like a bitch). I was so excited at the idea of us being pregnant together. I'm worried that when I go and see the baby I will burst into tears! x

greyclouds I'm low carbing (well, low GI'ing) with a dark chocolate addiction too! - the things we put ourselves through! I don't even have PCOS (not sure if you do?) But just want to do everything that I possibly can to up my chances

That's interesting to hear Juan I'm exactly the same, no symptoms of PCOS but just giving it a try. I recently had a diabetes test and was told it was normal but our particularly rude GP receptionists wouldn't give me the exact results.

That's hard Looking at the stars I'm sure it will be bittersweet, but lovely too
