Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 2

[Annny27]

Hi ladies- setting up another thread so we can keep in touch :)

Bless you @MilsCookie it’s so hard isn’t it! How long since your MC? Hopefully taking the pressure off this month will help! It’s so hard though to not do or think about all the things you usually do!

So pleased you’ve got a scan booked @Scrumdiddly123 to get answers 🤞🏻

@scrumdiddly123 that's brilliant news - so pleased they were able to book you in so soon. It's been 4 months since my MMC now. Can't quite believe it. I've now not been pregnant for longer than I was pregnant and due date is fast approaching which makes me feel sad :-( Fingers crossed for you tomorrow, let us know how you get on. Will be thinking of you xxx

Great news @scrumdiddly123 really pleased they have agreed to see you, really hope you get some answers
Hi @MilsCookie sorry you are having a rough time! It's a really tough time to be wanting to be pregnant/be pregnant, just seems like anxiety on top of anxiety! Hope that maybe taking a little bit of pressure off yourself this month will have helped (regardless of the outcome). Ttc is hard on the body and the mind!

Hi all just checking back in. I find these long running threads so difficult to keep up with! I'm about 6+5 today had a second set of bloods taken and went from 18900 to 106000 so that's good but I'm so sick. @ChampooPapi basically also permanently horizontal. Grateful that things seem to be going in the right direction despite my earlier bleeding but the sickness Is awful and my skin has erupted.

@scrumdiddly123 that's very odd that your tests look like that. Great that they'll scan you. The most they've offered me is bloods

@Fizzl I could never get strong lines on cheap opks. Have you tried digitals? I've used them to get bfps and they work pretty well

Oh gosh @triedandtestedteacher I'm so pleased things seem to be going in the right direction for you, that's great news! I'm exhausted and just started to feel sick today 😬 hoping it's just a one off as I feel crap!

@Whiffle77 thank you. I didn't have much sickness with my dd so this is a bit of a shock. Have you contacted a midwife yet? I've been putting it off

Oh gosh I bet! No not yet, I'm the same...keep feeling it's too early. I think i will this week though, though i know i won't have an appointment for a couple of weeks. Think they are doing all the early ones on the phone.

Thank you lovelies, I’m so relieved they’ll see me again. Worried sick that it’s ectopic but either way I just want to know now!
@triedandtestedteacher I know it’s so weird with the tests! Even sent my hubby out to buy a branded one just to double check and it was even darker!
Sorry that you’re feeling so rough but that’s great news about your HCG rise! Fingers crossed for you!

They look like my tests in the beginning. There's something funny going on there @scrumdiddly123 i have heard stories about successful pregnancies with really slow rising hcg. I hope you get an explanation soon

Good luck @scrumdiddly123 🍀🍀

@scrumdiddly123 that’s great they’re taking you tomorrow. Best of luck with the appointment.

@Fizzl it definitely doesn’t sound like you’ve ovulated yet then and especially with the stronger opk. I’ve a cat who wakes me a lot at night too and I pee about 1-2 times through the night but I still see a definite pattern around ovulation..the only things that really throw me off are having a really late night or drinking (both push up the temp about 0.4 of a degree) but being woken doesn’t seem to put it off. I don’t think it works if you talk to DH though so you might have to tell him there’ll be no night time conversation until your happy uve ovulated😄. But in general every cycle I hover around 36 and under and post ovulation it’s around 36.4 (and the cycle I conceived I then went to 36.9..so chart was triphasic..still waiting for that jump again😟).

@MilsCookie sorry ur having a tough time at the moment 💕

@Whiffle77 and @triedandtestedteacher great to see you guys still doing well😊

Thank you all 💜 will let you know how I get on x

@SunnySideUp2020 only 3dpo for me do not quite symptom spotting yet. I get sore boobs before af so will be hoping symptoms stay away!

@Leok83 that’s interesting about drinking and bbt. I had a few spikes before OV and it could’ve been that. Only had one drink though each time...
Actually have noticed an annoying thing with my thermometer. Took temp three times in a row today and yesterday and there was a difference of 0.15. I’ve a slow rise so every bit counts. What thermometer do you use?

@triedandtestedteacher @MilsCookie nice to hear from you guys, hope you’re not feeling too rough. Harder for the weeks to fly by when you’re trapped inside!

@scrumdiddly123 best of luck, keep us posted

@Sparkl I have the femometer Bluetooth one..that happened to me once but I was pretty groggy and the temp was way off and when I took it again it was more where it should have been. I think it’s very sensitive where you put in in your mouth, has to be same place under tongue all the time and that morning I think I had it further forward! In general if I take the temp straight after it’s only 0.01 or 0.02 off. For the drinking it only takes 2 glasses of wine for it to raise mine..think 1 is ok tho I always usually have the second glass so not too sure😄.

Good luck today @scrumdiddly123 x

@Sparkl same here only 5dpo so not mcuh to spot even if i tried!

@MilsCookie good to hear from but sorry to hear you are not feeling great. Hope you get your bfp soon x 💕

@triedandtestedteacher these numbers sound really good!!! You must be really pleased :)

Yes so good to hear from you @MilsCookie! You definitely don't need the stress and hasel of going through any rough patches after everything else you've been through. The emotional fallout is always so crushing after these things as well precisely because of what we've had to endure. You are a wonder woman, you have been such a support here over the months and you deserve absolutely the best in return especially out there in the non virtual world. I hope you are being looked after 💜

@triedandtestedteacher I hear you loud and clear, I'm writing off April completely, I am a husk! I just basically lay down all day in various places with my head in my hands, my partner even sometimes feeds me fruit like a baby! But it is one of the worst feelings to endure day in day out, thank goodness it does have an end point. We just have to remember each day is a day closer to feeling better ♥️

@triedandtestedteacher no I've not tried digital only cheap ones from amazon. I might buy some digital ones to help me figure it out more clearly next month.

My opk's stayed slightly more positive most of yesterday (unlike the day before) so I assume yesterday was my peak. No temp rise this morning (and I wasn't disturbed once last night!), hopefully by tomorrow it will go up.

@milscookie sorry you're having such a tough time 💐 I think the situation we're in with the quarantining isn't helping either. It makes for a pressure cooker environment when already under some stress. Plus we've got more time to think about things! We've also tried to have a more relaxed month, said we weren't trying and inevitably that turned into trying because we weren't not trying 🤦🏼‍♀️ and like you've said I know roughly when i ovulate (although this months gone a bit wobbly) and you can't just forget that. Hopefully the more chilled approach will help you feel less stressed 💐

@Fizzl sorry was meant to tag you and not @Sparkl above🙈 glad the OPK looking more positive 🤞the temp rises!

Scan was the same as last time, absolutely nothing to be seen in my uterus or ovaries. Everything looks completely normal! They’ve taken more bloods and going to discuss the results with the consultant and then make a plan. She said I was a mystery!
So no further forward 😤
