TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 18: Christmas cake for Christmas babies

[Daffodil77]

Here you go

@ek78 I had medical management too. I decided to stay at home, it was horrible but glad I was at home.

I have a sick note until the 6th. The gp didn’t know if I could have tests. He is asking colleagues what the protocol is. He said 3 then support (which I have had 4) but because I carried a child to full term he doesn’t think I’m entitled. However he agrees that I can’t keep going on like this. He is going to contact me within a week with a answer.

4dpo... is it a sign? 🙊🌈 My OH is getting his signs from the car!! The day we found out we'd lost the baby, he heard "Bye Bye Baby" on the radio driving to work. Yesterday he kept seeing "Baby on Board" signs... so he's convinced this is our month. I'm enjoying his optimism!

@zarala I hope you get some answers - glad you don't actually suffer from anxiety because it's absolutely horrible; I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

@primrose16 that’s sounds fairly positive. Glad he agrees you can’t continue like this. I hope he comes back to you with more positive news next week. How do you feel?

@llonbol I do the exact same thing. On 1st January I saw a double rainbow, so I have my fingers crossed it’s a sign that 2018 will be our year 🤞

Just wondering if anyone has experienced a cyst on their ovary? My last ovulation was really painful...more painful than it’s ever been, the pain then continued and there has been a constant dull ache in that area since. Not sure what it is but google (I know, I know) is leading me down the line of potentially a cyst. Any ideas?

Primrose16 I've got everything crossed for you. The sick note sounds positive. Hopefully you can use the time to relax and take it easy.

Oh @ek78 I'm so sorry!! I remember you too and being so happy for you when you got your bfp. Sending you hugs and I hope you have some good support. I went for an ERPC too as my body was not recognising the loss and as soon as I knew the baby wasn't alive I wanted to be able to move on. The waiting was too much for me. Whatever you do I hope it's as smooth as possible.

@Hayleyfx sorry again. Enjoy your holiday!
@Pumpkinpatch0000 sending hugs. The milestones are tough.
@MrsMac1489 so sorry your cycles are being so screwy. And you must be incredibly brave helping all the other mum's to be.
@Brodiee welcome to this lovely group but I'm so sorry for your loss.
@HidCat I hope af comes soon!!
@Claire138 haha ninja!! Perhaps you can pretend you're in high school? Could spice up fw!! 🤣

@Primrose16 I'm glad you got a sick note. I hope it's enough for you to get some rest and recuperate. It is so dependent on the GP. I was lucky to get a nice one even though I haven't had 3 MC so it can happen. I hope they are able to help you.
@Beck1988 good luck with the opks. I start using FMU on about day 10 as it's the most concentrated. I pee every hour so can never build it up during the day! Then when I get EWCM I do about 3 a day. My lh surge is short so i'd miss it otherwise. I buy the cheap ones!!
Fingers crossed @Llondbol! 🌈

Thanks so much @bobothelephant. Everyone on here has been so nice. It has really cheered me up on a rubbish day.
I'm going to the EPAU tomorrow morning. They want to rescan and then I'll take it from there. I'm guessing they will want to wait a week before going ahead with anything, which was the way last time.

@Llondbol what a lovely rainbow 🌈 I really hope that is a sign for you!

@ek78 I'm glad it's helped you a bit. It really is just so shit. Yeah I had to wait a week too, then booked in the ERPC the day after the re-scan as I'd already waited 8 days. Was it a private scan you had? Did they not offer you any other scans earlier? Ahh it's just crap. So sorry again.

@Llondbol I'm as bad as your husband, I keep going on Facebook and every time I see one of those lists of names about who it be pregnant or have a baby I check to see if my name is on it. So far this year I'm having twins and will be pregnant this year and finally be pregnant in march. Not long for the last one to be proved wrong yet.

Thanks @boboelephant can't wait to start testing! Used them with my lil
Girl but not on this last pregnancy. Hopefully won't have to wait to long for a positive opk

@bobotheelephant It was a private scan after a panic over a bit of brown discharge. I wasn’t offered an early scan but I didn’t push for one either. In the event of becoming pregnant again I will be there at 7 and 9 weeks!

@Sloeberrygin thanks yes it is really annoying- found out about the MMC on2nd March and only just had the ERPC on Wednesday. Just want it to be over!
Waiting for 3 cycles already feels like it's going to take forever!

@Primrose16 that's not a bad response from your GP- hope he comes through. Did you have 4 MCs after your LO? They told me 3 consecutive is when they start testing- but as I said before mine agreed after I'd had my second for blood tests and US of pelvis- I forgot to mention that before...

@Llondbol I love the fact your husband finds signs !!!! I think that's the sweetest thing!
I'm sorry you suffer from anxiety- my younger sister has since a young age and I know how debilitating it can be. I hope you didn't get offended when I said to just say that to the GP- I have found that going through these MCs has really brought me close to anxiety / depression - the fact that we have absolutely no control and seemingly no solutions to these things makes them so deeply traumatising

Lol@Boboelephant Sexy high school ninja FW! Now that would be a fun one to tell the grandkids (or robots or whatever the future holds....)

@Martydog haha I do that too! And cringe every time! 🤦‍♀️
@ek78 yep I imagine I'll be getting about 4 scans in the first trimester too. It's so hard not to be anxious about it!
@zarala hahaha!!! 🤣

@ek78 I'm hoping they sort everything out quickly for you. Having to go to the EPU because they don't accept private scans is so shit (I wish they did accept them but I guess they need to double-check ). I really hope you're holding up ok (as well as you can be anyway).

@boboelephant might not be a bad idea, especially towards the end of FW when it’s more scheduled than romantic 😂🤺...you never know, ninja technique might catch on if I get a BFP this month 🤣🤞

Evening ladies, my app and pee stick say it fertile time again!
Is this the same for you too bobo ? As we were at a similar point last month? :)

Haha @Claire138 absolutely! The ninja method! 🤣
Good luck @weasledee!! I'm not quite there yet. I think I have longer cycles than you. I'm on cd10 and usually fw starts about cd12 with ov day 17. When are you due to ovulate?

Bobo I'm on day 11 and usually ov
On day 14 :)

Hi all , had MMC in Feb just had first period since so ready for trying again this month as until I had the positive pregnancy test I wasn't sure I actually wanted another baby ! , I've been looking at ovulation tests and thermometers the lot !! I've just had to buy a new car as mine failed it's mot big time and made sure I got one that's big enough for 3 car seats as before i only had a four seater.

Welcome @lovewine, I also had miscarriage in Feb. Finished af end of last week so hopefully ovulating Easter weekend! Order some opks yesterday so will be testing as soon as they arrive! How many kids do u already have? I have one girl. Good luck trying again 🌈🤞

I woke up this morning with such a desire to test. I didn’t, but it took all my will power. I stuck between thinking I’m pregnant and thinking that’s ridiculous because it’s so unlikely (despite dtd) after MC and I’m just not one of those lucky ones. I’ve told myself I’ll wait until the weekend to test because last month I had a 33 day cycle....it’s going to be a long week!

Does anyone else get stuck with these internal dialogues all day??

Morning every one. Cd15 ....Day 8 of the marathon here! Slightly bored of DTD, haha. It's turned into a military operation the last couple nights. Where both of us are knackered. But hey ho. Two more to go. Then I can just sleep. Pretty sure O happened yesterday or Sunday. Af of bfp due around 7/8th april. Anyone else in the same time frame?

@dulwichdays I do. Can't stop my stupid mind rabbiting on! Fingers crossed for you.
@Cakelaur well done!!! 8 days on the trot. I'm super impressed! Although I imagine you're walking like a cow girl! 😂 CD11 here and just starting the marathon. If I'm the same as last month I should ovulate on Monday but it might be sooner as all the symptoms are starting already. We'll see. I've just started bbt tracking but I keep waking up thinking I have to do it and it's only 2am! @cake would you mind putting your chart up so I can have a look?
