TTC after pregnancy loss. Thread 16. New Year, new hope for all!

[NoCatsHere]

Hello to anyone TTC after suffering pregnancy loss at any stage. Supportive group for all hoping for their rainbow babies.

@Eastend2015 I do. Erm, bit of nausea here and there but it comes and goes (which is fine). Nothing else to really report right now You?

@SuzieBa congratulations! I hope the anxiety eases soon and you can enjoy the pregnancy.

Yes @boboelephant let me know how it goes for you. Fingers crossed it works for us!

@llondbol sounds very positive! Not long till you can test. Fingers crossed for you!

@eastend2015 I go to bed every night with a hot water bottle lol. Of course hang out here. I would say there will be a lot of us feeling the same...and hopefully will be joining you soon!

Congrats @suzieba the fertility cape certainly worked for you! Hope your anxiety isn’t too bad.

Congratulations @SuzieBa!! Hope it's a sticky one for you!
Haha @UnicornsandRainbows1. I know which ones you mean! Good luck for you and @Eastend2015 for your scans on Wed!!
I might be cracking out the hot water bottle too!

@Suzieba congratulations, the fertility Cape worked!

I’m still waiting on AF, have PMS/early preg type symptoms but still no AF! I hate waiting!!

@dulwichdays have you tested yet? My cycle used to be 30 days but after mc it was 34 days so I’m not sure what I’m going to get this month. Expecting it between Friday and Tuesday but I wish it would just hurry up and come! I tested on Wednesday and it was a bfn so I know I’m out.

Congratulations suzie amazing news!

Unicorns I wish I could be more relaxed! I am still worrying when the nausea comes that it’s not strong enough, and when it goes that it was never there to begin with. Shoot me now!!!

Ooh @Boboelephant I'm starting SMEP. We DTD last night cd6 (but kinda cos we felt like it) starting properly tomorrow. I'm on high on my CBFM this morning so we may not have as long to wait as we thought. But I usually have 26day cycles so expecting peak around cd12 and temp shift around cd14 and 12 day LP.

One thing this ttc and temping and opk malarkey has made me realise is that my cycle is pretty standard. Sometimes I have a slightly shorter lp and sometimes I questions my progesterone cos if the odd spotting. But after a year ttc I do thank my lucky stars that I have reasonably 'normal' cycles. When I started I was so worried I was 'broken'

@Eastend2015 eek. How exciting. Bet you are counting down the minutes until the scan.

@UnicornsandRainbows1 Good luck with your scan too!!

@SuzieBa amazing news!! Congrats!! A BFP always brightens my day.. even if it's not mine!! Haha

@dulwichdays The waiting is the WORST!!! 🤞bfp or AF shows up soon!

@Eastend2015 It's gonna be a long week I can tell.

I'm supposed to be going down to my parents for a long weekend. Guess whose niece has chicken pox? -__-

@dulwichdays and @claire138 I hope either bfp or af show up soon so you can stop the horrible waiting game!
@Cakelaur fingers crossed for us both! I'm pretty jealous of your 26 day cycle. Mine feels so so long!!

Thanks ladies! Fingers crossed for bfp but pretty sure it won’t be. Will test again on Monday which will be almost a week late from my normal cycle of 28/29 days! Going to try and distract myself this weekend and not focus too much on it! 😂😂 who am I kidding!! Either way the waiting is the worst. Fingers crossed for anyone else waiting.

@Claire138 - is it possible that he bfn was just from testing too early??

@dulwichdays I would really have had to mess up my timings...saying that, I could well have done but that would also mean that DH and I would have more than likely missed ovulation. Sorry if you have already said but is this your first af since mc?

@Claire138 yes it is. So it’s more than likely that’s my cycle has just altered due to the MC and D&C. I didn’t monitor ovulation this month so not 100% if or when that happened which doesn’t help with knowing when to test! X

Just trying to waste away some time at work- you may be interested to know the miscarriage association are seeking views on an amendment to the law to allow registration of pregnancy losses before 24 weeks (not force them). They have also introduced a new thing where you can register your loss as a star (the idea made me cry!) www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk/

Oh that's a beautiful idea

Hello everyone!

I'm new to posting on mumsnet (long time lurker!) but came across this thread and thought it'd be nice to join in with some who are in a similar position to me. Let me introduce myself:

So new I posted that too early! Anyway...

strawberrye
Age 26
TTC number 1
MC 26 January 2018.

Started TTC again soon after I started bleeding, and (perhaps unsurprisingly) got AF yesterday. Still pretty disappointed and was hoping for some super-fertility I've heard about post-MC. Here's to next month!

Thank you ladies. I'm trying to keep calm and busy. I will start listening to some meditations. I booked an appointment with gp and next available one is on 7th March. I really hope this one will stick.
Hope you all will soon get BFP xxxx
I can also highly recommend mini pill Seven seas Trying for a baby. First time I fell pregnant 2months after taking them and before my MC I was taking them for a month. After MC I carried on taking them xx

CONGRATS @suzieba

Welcome @strawberrye sorry you have found us.

So I am on CD 13, DTD for the last 3 nights 🙈 haven’t even discussed timings with hubby he was just on one. I’m not tracking at all, I’m just going with estimate that I should ovulate maybe tomorrow/sat? Anywho today he is complaining of feeling full of cold. So I’m guessing that’s it for this month as he won’t feel up to it. Bugger!!!!

@ primrose. You're a good wife! Haha! I send hubby a schedule. Offer him extras (like last night) but he has no choice in it when it's fertile week! 🤣🙈 I feel bad for him but then I think... most guys would love it! But the SMEP works well cos then it's just the peak days he has to know about! Haha.

Good luck! I hope you have hit the egg!!! Are you not tempted to check opk? You've got much better will power than me!

@dulwichdays after all my worry earlier AF just arrived. A day earlier than what my cycle used to be before MC...strange but at least I’m out of the 2ww now. For me, I had a 34 day cycle after D&C so 4 days later than what I usually was. Hope you get a BFP though!!

@strawberrye as primrose says sorry you find yourself here. Hope you are blessed with the fertility cape soon.

@primrose16 that’s good going 😂 send him off to bed early tonight to get a good nights sleep and then he might be feeling better tomorrow so you can have another go

@Claire138 I’m sorry to hear that but at least you’re out of the TWW! I can’t decide when my deadline to test should be or if I just ride it out until AF arrives (which they said could be 6 weeks post MC - so another 2 weeks!). From what I have read most people seem to get AF around the time they did pre-MC but there obviously are exceptions!
