TTC after pregnancy loss Thread 19- More cake for more babies

[Boboelephant]

I figured it out!

@mrsd1103 I think it's usually about a week after your negative hpt. I had negative hpt last Thursday and positive opk yesterday so just over for me. Hope you're doing ok.

@zarala if you've had you're ERPC could it be an ovulation bleed?

@zarala I bled for 2 weeks straight after my mc then had about a week of just heavy brown/yellow discharge (yuck!). Then I started bleeding again, I initially thought it was AF but it turned out to just be more bleeding from the mc. It eventually stopped after nearly 5 more weeks. So 7 weeks in total proper bleeding with a bit of a gap in the middle. They scanned me to check there was nothing going on and it was fine, it just took a while. So I do think it can be normal, but do ring your epu if you're not sure- they wanted to scan me to check.

@Sloeberrygin thank you that sounds a bit like what I am going through- so that's reassuring to hear. But so annoying that it has last so long! Just want everything to be back to normal!

@HidCat thank you- and yeah that's what I originally thought it was on Friday - as it was just spotting and I had pains in my ovaries. But it has continued until today and is slightly more than spotting now...don't think ovulation bleeding would last this long?!
Really have no idea!

But yeah I'll call the EPU and see what they say- I really am done with having machines and god knows what shoved up my nounou!

So I'm at a restaurant and the Ed Sheeran song that I heard back in November when I got into the car after learning about our 2nd mc was on. Thought I was done with this. I have so much to be thankful for right now and I'm sat here trying not to bawl in front of everyone

@UnicornsandRainbows1 it's so tough, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with feeling upset by it. Songs have such a powerful impact on us and I'm sure you'll always link that song on some level. You can be grateful but sad at the same time - be gentle, we've all been through so much 🌿💐

@zarala so sorry this is taking so long for you. This whole pregnancy malarkey is so much more time consuming and tough than I ever imagined it would be!

@UnicornsandRainbows1 I still can't listen to Songbird by Eva Cassidy, as it reminds me of our lost bean. Just typing that is making me well up! Totally normal reaction. X

@BabynameEdie are you going to test again?? It does seem a bit early however I do generally believe if you can see something there is usually something there.
@UnicornsandRainbows1 sending hugs. It's totally normal to still feel sad for your loss whilst being happy and grateful for this one. Be kind to yourself.

@UnicornsandRainbows1 completely normal, plus all those pregnancy hormones!

@UnicornsandRainbows1 I agree with the others, completely normal. I was almost in tears in the car on the way to work on Friday because of Coldplay's "Fix You". Also "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman always gets me.

@UnicornsandRainbows1 totally understand, after my MC I listened to ‘Small bump’ by Ed Sheeran and ‘Heaven’ by Beyoncé constantly, those songs are still so heartbreaking to listen to even now hugs
@BabynameEdie a lot of the time if you can see something then there usually is something vvv faint. If you test again then post a pic and we’ll have a look!! I’m obsessed with faint line pics haha 🤣

So my period made a return today, five weeks and two days after my D&C. Gutted I didn't conceive straight away but also relieved that my body has kicked into gear again! Huge sense of relief that I at least know I'm not preggers this month and can put the FRERs down. Having wine in the hot tub to commiserate/celebrate the beginning of a new month.

@UnicornsandRainbows1 @hayleyfx I'm the same, for weeks I couldn't listen to music at all. Now I can, but only upbeat songs. It's the same with books. A few weeks after my MMC my husband told me that one of the things he'd found hardest was that I'd stopped singing. Apparently I'm a pretty prolific hummer so it hit him hard. Music is so emosh.

Okay I need your opinions... I just randomly took an hpt, no idea why really haha, I feel like there’s an incredibly faint line on it but I’m 99% sure there’s probably not and I must be seeing things because it’s just not possible? I’m on CD22, no idea when/if I ovulated... 🤔🤦‍♀️ I’m even more confused now 🤣 I’m so crampy today as well, so I’ve been thinking af is about to start but it’s way too early. I literally haven’t got a clue what my body is doing! So is this a BFN or am I not imagining things? I really don’t trust my eyes!

@TimeWaitsForNoWoman it’s so true, I can always have a good cry to certain music! Also, sorry af arrived but it’s great that your body is getting back on track now and fingers crossed you get a BFP this cycle!! 🤞

@hayleyfx I can see a faint line! Is there anyway you could of ovulated early in cycle?

@Beck1988 it’s possible, I didn’t do any OPK’s until CD14 so I could have ovulated before, maybe? I’m so confused! I also had a chemical last month so I don’t know if that can trigger early ovulation or not 🤔 Btw thank you, I thought I was going crazy haha! 🤦‍♀️😂

Hayley I see it!! I had bad cramps too thinking AF was starting, even took sanitary stuff to work and lo and behold BFP! Great news :)

@hayleyfx I see a line too! Fx it is a bfp for you!

@hayleyfx that is a line!! (And now makes me realise how NOT a line my hpt earlier today was 😂) but wow!! 👏👏👏 def a like there. Fingers crossed it gets darker over the next few days 🤞👍

Omg!! What a great thread!! @hayleyfx 100% a line there!! Amazing. Do an frer!!! Omg!!!

This is the best thread ever! Good luck to everyone testing soon!

@BabynameEdie post a pic post a pic!!

@hayleyfx that totally explains your blazing positive opks!!

Thank you all so much ladies! So glad I’m not imagining it but also beyond confused 🤔😂 didn’t even think I had ovulated this month! I’ve got FRERs coming tomorrow in the mail so will do one Tuesday morn... no idea what to expect but I’m shaking!! Haha 😬
@Cakelaur yeah I thought it was so strange how strongly positive my OPK’s were! Hoping this is the reason why! 🤞

@hayleyfx I can defo see a line congratulations xx
