TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 15 - Christmas miracles

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

New thread!

Sorry to hear about the bfns @ek and @daisy, hope its down to early testing.
Still no af here but starting to feel symptoms of it so hopefully it will be here soon so we can get on with the next cycle.
There's lots of people with new babies in my town and it's been hard meeting them. I also got a reminder for my 12 week scan appointment yesterday so I had to ring and cancel it and I wanted to cry afterwards. I thought I was over the mc but I am obviously not. DH is finding it hard too and I think he would be happy to stop ttc. All in all, a shity week.

AF just showed so I’m out. A bit disappointed but I have the RMC appointment on 7th so just trying to keep focussed on the future. It’s also the first month of using a fertility app so I feel like I know my body better. Never really tracked cycle length or CM before. Onwards and upwards! FX for everyone still waiting!

Sorry to hear that @Eastend. Onwards and upwards indeed

Good luck @NoCatsHere
Oh @Hollymchollyface I'm sorry. That must have been really tough. Here's to a better next week/month!
So sorry af showed up @Eastend2015! I hope the RMC gives you some answers so the next time you get your bfp you end up with a beautiful baby.

@hollymchollyface Those reminders are just so gutting - I'm so sorry you are going through that. My 'Baby on Board' badge for the tube arrived just after I had miscarried, as did pregnancy books I'd ordered and cancelling all of the appointments that were lined up was just awful. It is absolutely appropriate to have a little cry about these things, I'd be feeling fine and then something like that would just shatter me - but for me those moments have decreased in frequency as time has passed - so I hope it will be the same for you.

@Eastend2015 Really sorry to hear that - but yes, onwards and upwards! I have found using an app really helpful.

good luck @nocats
sending you hugs @holly, really sorry it's tough dear
am so sorry @eastend af has come. I think I might be getting mine tomorrow or Sunday ((sobbing ), I have been to the loo and have started spotting, really gutted. onto cycle 29
lts up to you @bobo @ek @holly @daisy to give us some good news. fx tx

I’m out too! AF just arrived. Bah! Hoping for better luck for those still waiting...

sorry @ek í¼í¼º

Sorry ek and Eastend2015 Its just shit.

Ahh sorry @ek78!! Balls!!!
Sorry about the spotting @Mimilicious013. Hopefully you're not out yet!
Our poor little hopeful group is dwindling and sadly I don't have high hopes for me although still wishing for a miracle!

It sure is @holdtight. I had a cry, put on some comfy trousers and got a takeaway- oh and avoided my pregnant friend. Will dust myself off tomorrow.

I think I will be here for the long haul as well

Boooo! Crap news everyone! Sitting here with my herbal tea watching Jane the Virgin. If only it was so easy!!

What terrible news from everyone! I'm sorry all. @Hollymchollyface I can't believe you had to cancel your appointments yourself- that was one great thing about the EPU here- they cancelled all the appointments and notified my midwife so I didn't have to. I was very grateful.

I hope you all have nice relaxing weekends planned.

Oh and I took another 33p test from Poundland at about 3pm- still very negative. Still no AF- loads of cramps, but I get that in the build up to AF and when pregnant so that means nothing either way. No real idea how long my cycle would be. It used to be 28 or 29 days, but I have only had two since getting pregnant in December 2012 as I've been pregnant and/ or breastfeeding since then. I've no idea how long my cycle will be.

I can't remember who is on Facebook and who isn't so sorry to repeat myself. Starting bleeding today so I'm hoping this is AF and it'll get rid of anything extra and it'll be a clean slate. God does my body like to keep things

Get ready for TMI. Been bleeding all week like a period then this afternoon started to get painful cramps. Started to head home early and got a gush. When I went to the loo and passed a large clot. Since then a few cramps, which have stopped and the bleeding has slowed. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm hoping that my body's done what it needed to and completed the miscarriage.

Ahh unicorns let’s hope so! I had a similar-ish experience with my second miscarriage that went on for ages. I found it comforting (to the extent anything can be a comfort in our situation) that my body tried to absorb some of the pregnancy and take it forward for a future one- make any sense?

Baubles that sounds traumatic but yes, that’s exactly how my second miscarriage completed finally. How do you feel now?

Such a lovely supportive group on here. Thank you for all your supportive messages, especially bobo, that’s really sweet x

@BrokenBaubles That's how my 1st one ended. Had a d&c (after passing a lot of clots initially which stopped beforehand), and a week later I passed about 10-15 biggish clots (there was A LOT of stored up blood, and then it finally passed and everything went back to normal

@Eastend2015 It makes sense. It looks like mine had absorbed some of the lining going from the previous scan I had, so I'm thinking it's something similar to yours by the looks of it.

I'm a bit achey but not in need of painkillers just the nice hot water bottle I've got. Hoping that it's over now.

Massive hugs to you @BrokenBaubles
