Ah btw I am TwittleBee, just changed it to TinselBee for the festive season.

Lilimum5 phoned the EPU and they said green discharge is normal and nothing to worry about. Thank you for your perspective on TTC. Is difficult decision to make. Just wish MCs didn't happen and if they had to happen then at least TTC afterwards would be easy

@Justincase87 and @MeghanV07 how are you getting on?
@OctoberGirl91 very confusing but our bodies czn take a little while to get back to normal maybe try tracking your temp might help. I use firtilityfriend app it's great it's good for telling you when you ovulated because it clearly shows it in the app. I've put my chart from my last pregnancy up so you can see what I mean the red Cross is ovulation. I stopped charting while I was pg but I found it really helpful when I started tracking after the mmc before this one.

@TinselBee ahh OK lol hope your feeling better after speaking to epu. When are you booked in for erpc?

@TinselBee I’m glad they’re not concerned about it - always best to check these things! X

Blood has been taken now, was so quick this time. They’ll phone in a couple hours with the results. If they’ve gone up (which I highly highly highly doubt) then I’ll have a scan in a couple days. If not then it’s a confirmed MC. We’ll see what happens 😣 had brown spotting on and off all morning, hasn’t got darker yet. It’s stopped at the moment however this is how my first MMC started so not feeling confident. Will let you all know my results soon as I get them x

Oh god BBT charting Lilimum5 can get very obsessive I found haha. DH is not gonna welcome me doing that again. They haven't given me a date yet, been 3 days since the scan though.

Really hope it's good news hayleyfx and not another mmc for you. FX

@TinselBee I've had that before. I had it after my son was born & read that it's just your body getting 'back to normal' & it's just working in overdrive to get it all going again. I also had that after my mc and now it's all settled so I assumed it was the normal for a pregnancy/mc.

Thanks for updating us @hayleyfx I hope you're okay and having a chilled afternoon ❤️ hopefully they don't keep you waiting too long.

I'm okay thank you @Lilimum5 still keep checking to see if there's anymore spotting but nothing since about 4pm yesterday & I've checked my cervix (stupidly) and there's nothing there either so hoping it's a good sign. I just can't bring myself to think I will actually have a baby & now that having a mc is just what happens to me xxx

Ah thank you, reassuring to know! MeghanV07

@MeghanV07 I'm glad you are feeling better hun. Spotting could mean anything. My fingers are crossed 🤞 for you hun xx

I haven't done temping yet I think next cycle I will definitely give it a try do you n special type of thermometer ? @Lilimum5

Just been catching up on thread as I'm a newbie, sad to see how much heart ache everyone's been through.

Fx for you @hayleyfx 🤞🏻

I'm anxious to be pregnant again tbh as much as I want it I know every symptom will be over analysed or overthought and makes me sad it won't be a joyful experience. I'm lucky my last two pregnancy didn't have issues till labour/ last few weeks.

Xx

@MeghanV07 fingers crossed you don't get anymore spotting, such a worrying time try and remain positive 🤞🏻💕

@MeghanV07 and @DayDreamer1707 it'll be 6 weeks tomorrow since the D&C. I think I'll call the hospital tomorrow even though they've basically told me already they're not going to do anymore tests seeing as my hcg is below 25. I'm worried that the level appears to be exactly the same now as it was 2-3 weeks ago.

Hope you get good news @Hayleyfx, I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Oh gosh haleyfx. I'm holding tight and crossing everything for you. Sometimes spotting is just spotting.

@hayleyfx thinking of you and keeping everything crossed it is just normal pregnancy spotting

@TinyPaws I have everything crossed for you lovely! How many dpt are you and when is official testing date? Thanks so much, I may well be DM'ing you next month!
@SerenaOverjoyed I hope Sod is working his magic too! I'm terrified of paying so much money and it still not working! I haven't been told anything special to do- just carry on as normal really. Think after xmas I'll have a super healthy dry January though. Im already doing acupuncture and vits so will continue there. Hope everything continues well for you too!
@Yukka good luck for scan tomorrow.
@hayleyfx hope those blood tests show a good rise! 🤞🤞
@Lilimum5 perhaps you should look into acupuncture or womb massage and see if they can help lengthen your follicular phase?
Hope everyone else is ok.

Thanks everyone ❤️ So grateful for all of your support. About 10 minutes ago I started to bleed quite heavily and have strong cramps, feels like contractions. Still in a lot of pain but bleeding stopped again. Think I’ll miscarry tonight. My blood test results still aren’t in, phoned the EPU, however I don’t really need them now. They said to go up if I need to and they’re going to call to check on me in a couple hours so that’s good. I’ve done this before at least so know what to expect. Thanks again for all the support xxx

I am so sorry hayleyfx that you're having to go through this again

@Tinselbee I recognise you from my short stay on the July 2019 board I am so sorry to hear your news. I hope you are looking after yourself.

Can i please join you ladies?

I’m 32 and TTC#1
I have had three Early miscarriages in 2018 (Jan, Aug and Nov) all just before 6 weeks. Have just been diagnosed with PCOS and am meant to be on a break from TTC while I wait for Recurrent miscarriage appointment with NHS. Hubby and I accidentally got a bit over excited and I am now 5DPO - shall see what happens.

So nice to have a space to chat to women who understand

X

@hayleyfx really sorry to hear things aren't looking good again. I hope your dp is there to look after you, rest up and get some trashy TV on to try to distract you. This is so unfair and I'm really sorry it's happening to you

Hi Holly ! Sucks for us (well all of us) to be here ey? When is your appointment? Hopefully you'll actually end up with a successful pregnancy but if not I hope you get some answers soon. Do you know what sort of thing to expect from the appointment?

@hayleyfx really sorry to see you’re bleeding again. Be good to get those blood results though as you never know xxx

Oh haleyfx I'm so sorry. That's really shit and unfair. X

Cancelled on my pregnant friend today, she totally understood why but I'm scared I'm always gonna feel like this with her and my other 3 pregnant friends we were all due pretty close and worried its going to be hard seeing their newborns next year. Just feel like I needed to get that out there, DH doesn't totally get what I'm going through.

Aww @hayleyfx I am sorry to hear that, thinking of you. Nice of EPU to check in on you, mine aren't open on weekend so that's good they are around.

xx

Oh @hayleyfx I'm so sorry. Thinking of you lots, hoping you're taking some time out and resting as much as you can. Sending love❤️❤️❤️

@TinselBee I had 2 close friends who are pregnant. One who I cannot stand to see & one who I love hearing about her pregnancy. The one who I cannot stand to see has asked me once how I'm feeling so that's maybe what it is! But I totally get how you're feeling!
