TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 15 - Christmas miracles

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

New thread!

I was quite proud of myself this morning- we took DS to his first football session and I got chatting to a grandmother there who asked me when we were planning to have number 2. I very calmly replied we’d had 2 losses before DS and another just before Christmas. I’m so fed up of the silence surrounding MC and equally fed up of the questions! Anyway she was lovely and said she only had one DC due to ovarian cancer. If we knew each other’s secrets, what comforts we would find!

Tuesday morning @Boboelephant. Haven't slept properly in days. MMC was discovered at my last one, so I'm absolutely bricking it. Eek.

Good luck flat!

Good luck for tomorrow @UnicornsandRainbows1 and for Tuesday @Flatwhite32 - you already had an early scan right??

7+1 here and scan next Saturday 🤞🏼

@Eastend2015 well done you!! I 100% agree with you but it's not always easy to reply honestly and calmly so great job. Hopefully there will come a time when MC is not a taboo subject.
@Flatwhite32 I bet, you must be so nervous. Only 2 nights to go and hopefully then the only reason for not sleeping is something pregnancy related like indigestion! 😄 I truly hope you get good news!

Welcome to the newbies. Sorry you find yourselves here.
@flatwhite32 will be thinking of you Tuesday. Please remember though you’re early scan put you past where the mmc happened last time and there’s no reason to assume it will happen again (I wouldn’t be able to convince myself but I talk a good talk to others!)
@unicornsandrainbows1 I really hope that either everything has cleared or you get a definitive management plan.

I fuckin hate this place, all is does is remind me of the good and bad scans

@UnicornsandRainbows1are there many people there? Will you be seen soon?

@Boboelephant should be seen any moment as I'm no. 2 and no. 1 has finished up

I hear you unicorns!! Have they been able to help at all?

Well the lining has reduced in the last 10 days. No idea how. Have a test to take in a couple of weeks but it's a bit more positive this time round and so levels should drop soon after AF. No idea when that is but it shouldn't be too long if the lining isn't as thick

Fingers crossed @UnicornsandRainbows1. I hope it all starts moving a bit quicker for you now! 🤞🤞

Least theres progress @UnicornsandRainbows1 🤞🤞

So do they think there's no need for medical management @unicorns? I hope things start moving soon. It's so horrible having to wait just to ttc again

So I got in the shower this morning and as I took off my t-shirt my boobs felt really heavy. Immediately I started fantasizing 'ooh it's happened'...... seriously shoot me now. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Ahh please tell me how to stop symptom spotting??!!

@Hollymchollyface Nothing at all. There's probably a silver lining in there somewhere as I was getting a bit anxious about the next step. They seem pretty confident it's starting to reabsorb bits and will deal with it on its own. Never wanted AF to make all this crap go away

flat hope all goes ok for you tomorrow lovely. I'm sure it will.

bobo I think it's actually impossible not to symptom spot. I'm doing the same now, 6dpo /cd19. Well I think it's 6dpo I'm not sure I even ov this month, my opk and clear blue ones never moved off flashing, and the opks weren't dark at all....so frustrating. I have more cm this time at the moment, so maybe I'm ov late? Who flipping knows.

unicorn sorry things are dragging, I hope af shows up soon so you feel you can move on.

@Boboelephant I'm exactly the same! CD22 and on Saturday I started having really bad nausea. My breasts are quite heavy and tender today and I couldn't sleep last night (was having hot flushes). I trying not to be optimistic but I'm gonna sneak a test in the morning (I also just ordered some frer on prime so they'll be here tomorrow)

@Flatwhite32 everything crossed for you tomorrow!!

@NoCatsHere it's really hard isn't it! I keep telling myself not to get my hopes up or look for things and then next thing you know I'm googling whatever symptom it is that day!😳 Are you going to wait and see or test in a few?
@DaisyMay25 Let us know how you get on! I am stocked up on tests but trying to wait until Thursday. I'm CD28 and 8dpo. Will see if I last. It's so hard waiting but I don't want to get a bfn. I was trying so hard not to be optimistic but I know I'll be gutted if it is bfn.

bobo I can never wait it out, and actually the last few months there has been something I want to go to and drink at and so test a few days before af just to check it’s ok to have a few drinks. This time is friends birthday on Saturday so will test then probably. Or else Thursday I’ll be 10dpo I think so might do it then!!!

@NoCatsHere haha you sound like me! I also need to know before Sat as otherwise will be drowning my sorrows. Now just need to make sure I don't give in tomorrow or Wednesday!

Welcome to the new people here. Sorry you are going through this shitty time. Good luck brokenbaubles, hope it's a new one.

So sorry this is dragging on unicorns. Hope you're back to 'normal' soon.
Good luck tomorrow flat!

Thought I'd share my good news with you all. I'm cycle 3 post mc and 11 dpo and got my bfp today 😊 praying this one sticks.

I’m doing dry Jan bobo and nocats- alcohol consumption was edging up so at least I have an excuse for a bit!

Ahhh kats yay!! That’s so great!
