TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 34 - huddle up and bring on the BFP's

[BunnytheBlueWhale]

Welcome to the 🐧 huddle. This a safe place to give and receive support for everyone who has experienced the loss(es) of a pregnancy or baby. Pregnancy and child loss is one of the most difficult things we can experience and it can also be the most lonely time too. I hope you find this thread to be of some comfort.

I have found so much comfort from the lovely ladies on this thread and I’m hoping for lots of BFPs in 2020!

Thanks @clitterratti 🥰

I’m sorry you find yourself here @Kangaroo77

How are you @clitterratti?

@clitterratti how missing is it hun. Are you usually regular

Sorry @clitterratti I missed your last post when I asked how you are

How late is AF?

@peperethecat I need to have a repeat chlamydia screen (already done but they want to do it again), a hsg/hycosy and I think LH. Can't do the blood test until my period comes back (currently on day 30) and can't have the hsg as everything is shut down.

I did get my AMH yesterday though 11.8. I think my FSH was about 8.7 so I'm not really sure what that means. I think its not terrible but not great.

I hope everyone else is doing okay today.

@zoomies1 those results are to bad hun. Mine were much worst at fsh 11.2 and amh 5.5. On average (I know a difficult question) how long did it take you to get pregnant. Fingers crossed nothing is wrong and it's just horrible bad luck or if they do find something it's super simple to fix xx

@clitterratti any sign of AF yet hun xx

As for me I'm 9 dpo and bfn will test again at 12 dpo and if still bfn then I'll stop the progesterone and wait for AF to show her ugly 😔 face. Finding having hope very difficult right now.

@zoomies1 I'm sorry I meant aren't to bad. Blooming phones auto correct is cursed I'm sure of it lol

@Mumlili9 I’ve had PMT all week and feel AF is due any time but it will be a relief as usual as PMT really gets me really down and stressed but of course wondering whether I will ever get a BFP

AF arrived this morning. I was two days late and let myself believe for a while last night about what could have been.
I’m getting my progesterone levels checked in a few weeks along with some other bloods as I haven’t been 100% lately.

I’m sorry AF came @TheFox especially after coming late as that would have had me hoping too

Sorry @TheFoz not the fox

Hi all. I'm 3dpo, we're in with a chance this cycle 🤞 I got my positive opk on cd9 and FF thinks I ovulated that day... I'm unsure as my temps aren't that high. Last cycle was textbook but we hadn't tried. Not that hopeful.

I'm very run down. I think I shared before I had what I thought was an eczema flare up on my face. It's been lingering but suddenly ramped up and spread this week. I'm worried it's infected, it's been weeping and I had to lie down after lunch, slept for 2.5 hours.

@TheFoz sorry to hear af arrived

@BunnytheHoneyBee I can relate to those feelings, I hope that af stays away

@Mumlili9 sorry about the bfn, hoping its too soon, fingers crossed for you

Good news that fertility clinics can re-open from 11 May, so hoping I can get my second biopsy in June.

@VenusStarr hello hun nice to hear from you x Fx for this cycle hun. Let's hope you don't have to wait to long to get answers from the fertility clinic. As for me I knew it's was a long shot, early ovulation, ovulation on my tubeless side and bad timing.

@BunnytheHoneyBee hi hun, sorry pms is kicking your butt. I've read that pms is because you have very high progesterone, not a bad thing I don't think.
@TheFoz sorry AF got you hun. Fx for this cycle x

Thank you @Mumlili9, had a better temperature rise this morning, so FF as changed ovulation to cd 10 whici I think is right, based on my opk and symptoms. So our timing was good 🤞going to message the clinic next week.

I don't really understand it, but when I had my hsg the doctor told me that the tubes wave around and she has someone with one tube and one ovary on opposite sides, but she conceived. It was quite bad timing when she told me, but I've always remembered it.

I'm feeling a bit more hopeful, even though nothing has changed, but I'm hoping all of us have have a change in fortune 🌈

Morning ladies. I'm having to take a few cycles off while we have some more tests done. One of the new doctors last week said to come in for an ultrasound and an HSG on days 6 and 10 of my next cycle and I wasn't sure when that would be because I'd had such a weird miscarriage with no bleeding, so he said count the day my HCG hits zero as the first day of my cycle.

Anyway, my HCG was 23 on Wednesday and then my period arrived by surprise yesterday, so I think I'm cycle day 2 now. Need to book in for those appointments next week. I also have a telephone appointment with the internal medicine specialist who is going to check for NK cells and other auto-immune issues. I really hope we can get all that done this cycle rather than having to wait for the next one.

I'm sorry you've had such a difficult time @peperethecat I hope these investigations bring answers for you.
Have you got to have 2 hsgs in the same week?? Have you had one before? I had one last Summer and didn't expect it to be so painful - not to scare you or put you off, but everyone told me it was just like a smear, so I wasn't prepared.

Thanks @VenusStarr Fingers crossed 🤞 for you this cycle

@Mumlili9 Thank you. That’s interesting to know. I hadn’t thought of it like that.

@peperethecat I hope you get some answers soon

I'm having the HSG on Wednesday and then an ultrasound on the following Monday. I'm not sure why I have to go twice, I'll ask him again when I see him on Wednesday. I've never had an HSG before but I remember when I had my saline ultrasound in October it was OK at the time but I had the worst cramps I've ever had later in the day.

But still, I guess it's all worth it if it helps get some answers, right?

Hi all

Wondering if I can join.

My baby boy was stillborn last month at 28 weeks. Absolutely devastating and incomprehensible, there is no clear reason for why this happened yet. I have a DD who just turned 3 and is constantly asking why her baby brother didn’t come home.

Anyway, I know it’s very early days, but I’m desperate to be pregnant again. Though I wish with all my heart I could just bring my DS home.

So thought I’d dip my toe in the water. I have no idea what to expect in terms of my cycles after a stillbirth? It’s only been 4 weeks but the last few days I’ve had some
ewcm. No positive on an OPK yet though. I’m sure my body and hormones are all over the place right now. I should be 7 and a half
months pregnant.

I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone and fingers crossed for positive stories. So sorry that we all find ourselves here for one reason or another.

Hope everyone is ok and surviving lockdown. I’m finding it almost impossible dealing with this grief and processing what
has happened in lockdown with a toddler.

Hello @marmitecheesetoast, welcome to the thread. So sorry for your loss and that you find yourself here. I have no advice about your situation. I have had multiple early losses but no idea what it's like to have a stillbirth. I know there are a couple of other people here TTC after a stillbirth though.

Thanks @peperethecat
Sorry to hear of your multiple early losses too

Welcome @marmitecheesetoast I am so sorry for the loss of your baby boy 💙 this group has been incredibly supportive to me. I've had 3 first trimester losses, had some tests but no reasons found so far and covid stalled us.

I've had some real low points over this last year and the last few months have been particularly hard but I genuinely am starting to feel hope again 🌈
