Hello All,

New to mumsnet.

I'm 37, almost 38. I came off birth control just before my 37th Birthday, had been on the pill for a while (some 20 years) and I think it took 5-6 months for my body to settle in a cycle.

Conceived in August. At the 12 week dating scan found that the baby had stopped growing at 10+1. Had surgery to help me along with the miscarriage, as my body was still showing all pregnancy symptoms. It's been almost three weeks since the operation and am looking for others with shared experiences, and discovered this thread. I hope you don't mind me joining you all.

We are hoping to ttc ASAP.

It's been a horrid experience, one which is all too common, yet not really spoken about publicly. Over the last three weeks, these threads have been a source of comfort and much required source of support for me.

Hello!

Age: 31
TTC #3 in the New Year
TFMR in October 2018, severe spina bifida and hydrocephalus

Currently on high dose folic acid, inositol and iron tablets.

Hey ladies

Age-36
Miscarriage 2 weeks ago at 6 weeks, finally confirmed today
Was first pregnancy
Waiting for cycle to straighten out and will be jumping back on the horse

Hey everyone!

Age: 25
TTC #1
Currently still waiting for bfn 5 weeks post D&C for MMC in October (baby died at 12+2)

I'm really hoping that because I've had AF I'll still be able to ovulate this cycle even though I still have low levels of HCG...

Really hope that this thread brings us all some good luck!

Hello All,

I am new to this thread although did watch your older one.

Age: 27
TTC: #3
MC at 8 weeks 30th September and ERPC 4th October 2018
First Cycle after AF after ERPC

MC really hit me hard because I was naive too it, I have 2 DD who I am very lucky for but just feel incomplete and really want a #3.

Had my first AF after MC on 9th Nov, this cycle seems to be I shall long and frustrating I was using CB dual hormone ovulation kits and cheap OPKs but ran out of sticks for CB currently on CD19 and still not Peak or Positive OPK! Keep getting nearly positive then stark negatives.

Really would like to be pregnant before new year to fill the void, but all I want is a healthy sticky baby!

Good luck everyone xx

Hi wonderful strong powerful ladies 🥰

29. TTC baby no 1. Mmc in July. 12 week scan, no heartbeat from 9 weeks. No symptoms, biggest shock ever. So sad about it still. I think about it every day. Cycle no 3 Your never alone ❤️❤️❤️

Hi all

I need to get better at posting & keeping up! I'm useless atm!

28
Ttc No.2
Miscarriage in September. Think it was blighted ovum @ 7weeks

AF due Friday have had some pink/red spotting yesterday and red today but nothing more than a couple of wipes on the tp

Fingers crossed for us all ❤️

I'm 31
TTC #1
MMC at 12 weeks, baby had died at 8+4 after seeing a heartbeat at 5+4 and 6+3

Several months of absolute hell trying to decide when to start TTC again, started using ovusense and concieved second month of trying,

Currently 6 or 7 weeks pregnant, had a scan last week and egg sac and yolk were present so counting down the days to next Friday when viability will hopefully be confirmed! Managed to brave booking my first midwife appointment, and now awaiting a date for my 12 week scan too.

I have PCOS but seem to be able to concieve, I am very aware that PCOS has a huge link to MC though so terrified but I'm trying to stay optimistic.

Hello all well I've been here for ever

I'm 37 and on mc 5, most recently 31st October but had some problems with this mc so still not had af yet.

Love and support to you all xx

Hi all,

Welcome to the newbies. Sorry you find yourselves here but it's a really supportive, lovely bunch and have made my life easier since I joined in April.

I'm 31 in 2 weeks.
TTC for a year
TTC #1
MMC in March. Had ERPC at 11 weeks, Little Pea was measuring 6 weeks. Never saw heartbeat.
3 other losses since that in June, September and October and another possible one which I never tested for but am 90% sure was a MC.
Currently taking a break from TTC while waiting for RMC referral...

Got the news today that I've got a cancellation appointment on MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!! Thought I'd be waiting months longer so really pleased, but apprehensive too.

And I have a complicated gynae history including endometriosis and uterus didelphys, so bracing myself for the news that I can't have babies naturally and keeping my options open for other routes to parenthood.

Sending hugs to everyone.

Thank you for a new thread.
I'm 42 and TTC#2 since January this year.

Hello everyone, old cheese here
Age 27
TTC #1 for 14 months
Cycle number...lost count
Been on penguin thread since thread 17 - 10th thread lucky?!?!?
3x early losses all before 6 weeks in January, April and November
Currently awaiting recurrent miscarriage appointment and to stop bleeding from loss #3 so we can start trying again. Feeling pretty low.

@KnitKitty that's brilliant news about your appointment! Pleased for you

Hello all,

Age 33
TTC # 1 since Oct 2017
Had a TFMR for trisomy 13 at 15 weeks in October 2018

Hoping everyone gets their rainbows soon x

@marajade12 congrats on your BFP! Hoping it’s a sticky bean!

Hey ladies!!

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1
MMC in October 😔
Cycle number 1 so please wish me luck still pretty new to all this.

Wishing us all luv and can’t wait for some BFP 💕

So I’m in my TWW for the first time ever and currently 2DPO I think 🤔 . Decided I’m going to go onto a health kick and get back into the gym. Any tips on how to make this TWW not drive me insane...

Also can we wish for some Christmas BFP 🥰

I don't know how I got through my 2ww this month @DayDreamer1707 I feel like I've been so much more relaxed this cycle. I have usually done about 4 tests by now but I have resisted and AF is due Friday. I've had a small bit of spotting yesterday that was red/pink & today bright red but only a wipes worth. It was just after I checked my cervix so maybe I scratched myself?!

I've just tried to keep busy, when I've wanted to be on my phone googling symptoms, I've got up and done some cleaning, or I took the dog out for a walk. The 2ww is just the worst! Xx

Age: 39
TTC: 18 months
MC: x 3
BFP positive Tuesday

Scared to feel excited yet as last 3 ended in early mc. My last pregnancy was only 3 days long.

Age 39
TTC #1 since sept 2017
MMC 1 Diagnosed March 18. Took till June to complete.
MMC 2 sept 18, naturally mc'd.

Both little ones died around 6 weeks, discovered at approx 9 weeks.

Currently CD7 of first cycle after losing my second, Bow.

@KnitKitty great news about the appointment. Let us know how it goes?

@Yukka pleased you have your treatment sorted. Fingers crossed for scan.

Welcome to all the newbies, sorry to see you here, but believe me this bunch of lasses are incredible.

Well today I started using my new techie clearblue connected ovulation kit...only diff seems to be it bluetooths the reading to the app on my phone! Hoping my fertile week will coincide with our trip to London to see muse on Monday.

@MeghanV07 it's not that I'm worried about AF because I don't think it will of happened this cycle as it's my first since my MMC. I'm trying to think of this cycle more as finding out about my ovulation days and cycle length. I just actually like looking things up and find it really interesting....sad I know 🙈. I just can't imagine there being a lot going on in the TWW for me. How are you doing today, any symptoms or sign of AF?

@KnitKitty Good Luck with your appointment, will be thinking of you .

Is anyone else in their TWW or first cycle?
