TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 15 - Christmas miracles

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

New thread!

Hi all I’m 1dpo and entering hopeful twat stage. I’m due xmas eve so need to hold out til then to test....

flat so pleased you had a good scan and are reassured up to this point. Keep hopeful.

Welcome to all the new joiners. I’m so sorry you all have to be here.

grumpy I hope your results go well this week. And that you can hold off testing until Friday, I know how hard it is to resist a poas.
And di626 and grumpy im sorry you have past mc due dates. I’ve passed both my two now so now they are out the way I do feel better, but like you guys assumed I’d be pregnant again by now. Hope we are soon anyway.

Haha I look forward to rolling the dice and being a hopeful twat again nocats! Fingers crossed the bleeding passes soon and DH and I can get cracking again.

It is absolutely not unreasonable @Zoo33!

Got a clear pink line on a FRER just now, 10dpo. Shaking.

This is cycle 7 post mc. Been trying for a year in total

@TheGrumpySquirrel Yes!!!! Congratulations!! That's fantastic, I'm so so pleased for you.

Congratulations @TheGrumpySquirrel

Thank you.. can't believe it. Just hoping it sticks 🤞🏼

@TheGrumpySquirrel I'm SO SO delighted to read this! Brilliant! Congratulations! Xxxx

Meant to say, love the time of the post @TheGrumpySquirrel! I also did my first FRER at 5am!

Congrats @TheGrumpySquirrel! Did you have any idea?!

Brill @TheGrumpySquirrel, massive congrats 💕💕💕

Congratulations @TheGrumpySquirrel!! Thats brilliant news! And you didn't even have to wait until Friday! 🤣 Will you have an early scan? I hope this is a sticky bean for you x

Woohoo grumpy! What great news!!

Thanks guys! I am in a daze. I had a feeling - because no bloating, no spots, high cervix abs wet cm (always sticky with low cervix post ovulation except when I've been pregnant). However did not want to get hopes up so been ignoring everything. I had a temp dip yesterday which I think was implantation as also had some slight cramping.

I will get an early scan at 8 weeks in January if I make it that far. My little one that didn't make it passed away at that point so I don't know if it will provide much reassurance but just got to take 1 day at a time. Have more FRER and digitals to do every week until Christmas. Eek!

And! Not abs

Hey guys,

I've been following this thread for a little bit. So happy to see some of you getting positives and scans have gone well. Fingers crossed! Sorry to those of you who are having a hard time, it's such a stressful time!

I had an early scan last week, they said that it was looking good for 5+ weeks. Based on the date of my last period I thought I was just over 6 weeks but I may have just ovulated later than I thought and they didn't seem concerned.

I'm so anxious this time round, lost my son at 24 weeks in July due to incompetent cervix and I'm so terrified of anything going wrong. Had some cramping yesterday and a bit of brown discharge on wiping this morning, last week they said that it could just be from clots formed with it all being more vascular at the moment.

Seeing the midwife this afternoon but I feel like I'm just worrying all the time! How do we get through these early weeks after losses, it's taking its toll!

Ahh Dora I'm so sorry for your loss 👼🏻
I'm glad all is looking well for this pregnancy so far. Will they give you a cervical stitch this time? Best of luck x

Congratulations TheGrumpySquirrel!!

AF started for me yesterday. So I'm up to 9 months / 6 cycles & 2 MC. I know it's not long compared to some, but this month has hit me really hard. I am so deflated.

They will so that's reassuring. I'm so nervous about everything though! I had some cramping yesterday but then none today! I feel less sick this week than I did last week so hoping it's just normal for it to fluctuate. I can't remember what it was like earlier this year, I didn't notice changes!

I need to stop worrying about everything!!

Congratulations @TheGrumpySquirrel I'm so happy for you btw!

@HoldTightPretendItsAPlan no matter what month you're on I think it's hard, it's all relative isn't it. Best of luck for you soon

grumpy!!!!!!! What this is amazing. But you are so naughty you weren't supposed to test until FRIDAY!!! haha, kidding, i'm just so so happy for you. Were you also having a month off too? This gives me such hope....did you do anything wildly different?

dora i'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you are being well looked after this time round. It's going to be a long slog I guess for you to reach that 24 week milestone, its so natural to worry at every little thing.

@NoCatsHere lol you made me smile! I know, I just couldn't wait, having got a BFP at 10dpo last time. Also I've been feeling weird after wine for a couple of days (daily drinker here 🙋🏻‍♀️)

Did I do anything differently? Well I've been having weekly acupuncture for 2 cycles now. We were "not trying not preventing" but as I needed to temp due to the upcoming progesterone blood tests (needs to be 7dpo) I needed to know ov date.. so the only difference was that I didn't tell DH I was ovulating
I've been taking iron, vitamin C, D, folic acid and B complex since September. That's it. I reckon the acupuncture did a lot to sort my hormones out 👍🏼 as it improved regularity and lengthened my LP by a day.

Fx for more bfps for you all soon 😘😘😘

Oh and the acupuncture (I think) massively improved my AF blood quality. Although my last period was only 36 hours, it was heavier.

@TheGrumpySquirrel this fills me with so much hope! I have just had my 5th acupuncture session, I've been going weekly. And I said to him today how different I was feeling! CD5 today and af just finished so fingers crossed for a Christmas bean for me 🤞🤞
Congratulations and fingers crossed this one is nice and sticky for you 🤞🤞🤞

Good luck @Stowie3012 I hope the acupuncture works for you too!
