TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 26 - BFPs are coming!

[RedRobin7]

🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

Another new thread! This is a lovely supportive thread for anyone who has suffered the loss of a much wanted baby. Affectionately known as the penguin huddle - this is the place to survive the ups and downs of this crazy journey.

Kicking off with a roll call:

RedRobin7
Age 30
TTC #1
MMC at 12 weeks in March 18
NMC at 7 weeks in July 18

Currently under a private gynaecologist and waiting for tests results. Hoping to join the TTC bus again in October.

@RedRobin7 mine didn't work either hahaha x

Still have no idea what’s going on yet, hopefully get a clearer answer in the next few days. Did a frer today and another eBay test - they’ve both got faint lines. I attached pics. Although I noticed that my frer had a bad indent at first before even using it it had a bright white line so it may just be an indent 🤷‍♀️ I’ll keep testing... see what happens! Only 9dpo but fingers crossed anyway 🤞

@Yukka thank you!!

@KnitKitty thanks hun 🤞 I’m really sorry af showed, I hope this happens very soon for you. Hopefully better luck next cycle!

@RedRobin7 thank you, it was so lovely! We’re undecided yet - I would love to get married next summer! If our budget allows us

Forgot to attach pics 🤦‍♀️🤣

@redrobin7 thank you, weird cycle this one!
@haleyfx I can see a line! fingers crossed for you xxxx

@hayleyfx I can see the line in the frer. Keeping everything crossed for you x

Still no Af so looks like late ovulation. 10dpo I think? (Again?!) and BFN. AF 6 days later than usual. Feel sick, boobs sore and tired today. Temps still rising though. I’ll post pic. Probably means nothing and I’ll be back to the drawing board on Tuesday!!

@Melpops36 that looks really promising!!! Everything crossed for you lovely 🤞🏼🌈

Thanks @meghanV07!
Did a test this morning, very very faint pink line. Pic attached. Clearly going mad. I’m sure I will lines to appear...
posting pic so you can all remind me to calm down and chill out!!

@Melpops36 I can see a squinters-that looks like mine did when I fell pregnant in August. Fingers crossed for you xxx

I see a line @Melpops36!!!! That's darker than I had with my first positive with my DS!
Test again tomorrow 🙊🙊🙊🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks ladies! I got a darker line today but it’s still pretty faint. I’m going to nip into town and pick up some more tests (spending so much money on tests 🤦‍♀️) I’m really nervous. Not feeling hopeful... I’ll test again tomorrow, hopefully the line will be even darker 🤞

@Melpops36 I see the line!! Fingers crossed for the both of us hun 🤞

Hi there, I disappeared off the old thread as I needed a little break from thinking about ttc and mc so much and had intended to come back in a month or so. I am so sorry to see news of new losses (@laney79 I am gutted for you) . For the newbies, I’ve been on the thread since Dec last year after mc1 earlier that year. I then found out I was pregnant again in Feb but had mc2 in March. I turned 40 this summer.

I’m just popping back with news because I didn’t want to just disappear. I got a BFP last week. I don’t want to add to anyone’s sadness but hopefully some of you will find this encouraging. I’m hoping for third time lucky! But I’m going into this with my eyes wide open and may find myself back to square one in a few weeks. This is just stage 1. Still, im determined to enjoy this stage as much as is possible. Sending love and lots of luck to all of you. Xx

@hayleyfx please let us know how you get on!!!!

@robin78 I have everything crossed for you. Glad you've come back to update us ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@hayleyfx and @meghanv07 good luck ladies for much stronger lines over next few days and sticky beans.

@robin78 congratulations keeping everything crossed for you and your third time lucky x

@robin78 congratulations 😘

Hey all, sorry to see some new faces you're in good company here.

Thanks @RedRobin7 hope you manage to catch the ovulation this week. Fx.

Congrats @mostimproved and @robin78, I have my fingers crossed for you having a pregnancy that's both in the right place and growing. It's a mix between trying to be optimistic and feeling really worried.

@hayleyfx and @meghan07 and @melpops I see lines... hope it keeps on developing.

Now having nightmares about another ectopic and losing the other tube. I find this all really, really hard actually and I had completely underestimated how terrified I would be. My heart goes out to all of you struggling with similar.

@robin78 congratulations. Really hoping it is 3rd time lucky for you. Sending lots of positivity your way. Keep us posted on developments x

@boboelephant any sign of eggy yet? Sounds very similar to a cycle I had a few months ago. Hope you're doing ok?
@hayleyfx and @Melpops36 got everything crossed! Those look like early positives :)
@robin78 so happy for you, thanks for sharing! It gives me hope. I really hope it all goes well and good for you for enjoying the moment. All the best x

We got dh's sperm results from the past few years. When he was off treatment after I got my BFP his results plummeted to 2 million so it might take a while yet for them to build up again. Such a shame as he was responding so well, but they stopped making the drug in the UK and the consultant was rubbish so he wasn't on anything (his body can't produce hormones without assistance). We have a better consultant now who has put him on a new drug which is meant to be excellent. I just hope the results pick up soon otherwise it all seems like such a long shot. Bah!

Thanks everyone!! Just popped into town and bought a couple frer - nipped to the toilets in town to do it cause I couldn’t wait haha 🙈 well it’s positive! Faint but definitely a second line. I’m feeling so nervous atm. Have one more test to do tomorrow or Tuesday. I just hope it sticks 🤞

@robin78 congratulations. I hope you have a very sticky bean in there x

So pleased for you @hayleyfx and you @robin78. I really really hope you both have an easy ride from here on in. You both deserve it. @robin78 Did you end up getting any tests done? Are you taking any meds now you've had a BFP?

My bleeding/discharge has stopped completely but tests are still positive so got to wait and test again in a few days. I hate wishing for BFNs. It's just wrong. I need it to happen so I can get back to ttc with you lasses.

Thanks for the support ladies. So I'm now somewhere between 13 to 11 DPO. I'm on my 3rd day of spotting and actually it's sort of stopped again today. I do sometimes spot before AF but usually only the day before I start and it's usually a bit more than this; the only other time it was this prolonged and light was when I was pregnant so feeling a bit nervous. Really feeling that by body is probably trolling me and I'm not getting my hopes up, but I think I'm going to test in the morning unless AF shows before then.

@Laney so glad the spotting has stopped for you! Hope the BFN isn't far behind.

@Newbie21 Has AF showed up today?

@hellotoyellow I'm glad they said it's looking unlikely to be ectopic. I can totally understand your nervousness about it though. Will you be having a 6 week scan? How long until that happens? Take each day/hour/minute as it comes. Whenever you get a wave of anxiety just remember that it's only a thought, and try to let that thought go. Get some positive mantras going and repeat them to yourself after waking up if you have any more nightmares.

Hi @Delilah7 I've seen you around on MN, welcome to the thread. Sorry for your loss. xxx

@RedRobin7 so sorry about the migraine! Hope that doesn't keep happening and your body gets used the meds.
I hope you managed to DTD and some strong swimmers are in there waiting for eggy.

@keebo that must be a difficult situation, wanting to get pregnant but also feeling you should wait for the tests. Hopefully you will get a BFP with a sticky bean and won't need the referral!

@hayleyfx Fingers crossed for you... Was the line darker than the others on the one you took when you were out shopping? Did you use the same brand test to compare? So exciting!

@Melpops36 Looks like some good temp rising there. I have to admit I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at on your pic as I've never used those tests and don't know where the test line shows up.

@robin78 Lovely to see you drop by again, and with such wonderful news! Congratulations!

Mistymeow really hope the meds will do the trick for your DH, and quickly. It must be such a difficult thing for you both to deal with. You're so strong and courageous. Fingers crossed for you.

@KnitKitty thank you ❤️

Thanks @knitknitty although I have known for years so the infertility thing isn't so hard for us. It was the miscarriage that really knocked us but we are getting there. Got everything crossed for you, I really hope this is your bfp x

Thanks @MeghanV07 @Laney79 @RedRobin7 and @Melpops.

I'm 8DPO and AF is due on Wednesday...……….. I have a couple of FRERs which I'm trying to resist using. If AF comes this month then I will get straight on the phone to a private clinic I've found not too far from where we live and book in for a consultation. The NHS consultant did get me to have more bloods for hormones (the standard ones) and progesterone at CD21 which I happened to be on when I had my appointment so went straight for that test. Waiting for the appointment for the internal scan again just for reassurance that things are ok there.

@Knitkitty @RedRobin7 Michael McIntryre was amazing, he was hilarious, I really needed a good laugh and I got one. Had a lovely evening out.

@Boboelephant hope you've had signs of ovulation and you're ok. I've never tried meditation so don't really know what to do (sorry if I sound thick).

@Robin78 so lovely to see you back here and huge congratulations! Hope this is a sticky one!

@hayleyfx congratulations to you too! Hope this is a sticky one and that line keeps getting darker! Also congrats on the engagement! So exciting, it will definitely keep you occupied.

Sorry for anyone I've missed. Fx for everyone in TWW!

2 BFPs! Congrats @robin78 and @hayleyfx. Fingers crossed for you both. Another week approaches for those with tww. Hope you're all having chilled Sunday evenings, so important to do nothing but sit on the sofa with a blanket and a film every now and then. Love it!
