I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

@francis05 very exciting xxx I'm not very good at seeing the faint lines especially in pictures but I hope that gets darker for you over next couple days xx and also a good sign if you're expecting AF around now and shes a no show 🤞😘 xx

@Hayleylou89 how you feeling symptom wise ? 😁 AF was due today isnt she for you ? So fingers crossed the same for you that the line starts getting darker now xxx .
Do you still have UTI symptoms?? Mine have pretty much cleared up other than the typical UTI smell of my urine ..(sorry TMI) .. so worried it's still lingering but think I'm going to wait until Monday to see if AF comes and then go docs as may need antibiotics the at least I can say whether or not I'm pg so get given appropriate antibiotics . .
I've been having like pinching pains coming and going in the very bottom of my back for last few days now . Not AF symptoms as I normally get aching in my stomach for that and get that like the day of AF due normally but I'm not sure if these pains could be related to having a UTI or something else ! It's like really low down almost near my butt mainly on right side but on left too sometimes. Just trying to keep fluids up incase it is UTI related ! ..
@Bellabubble how you getting on? Xxxx

Donnat89 · 22/04/2020 08:54

@francis05 and @Hayleylou89 I can see lines on both so hopefully they get darker !

AF due today and no sign of her did an IC this morning and BFN though so not sure what's going on I have some FRER arriving today so will test again using one of them hopefully it's a good news day !

Xxxx

Renna · 22/04/2020 09:02

@Donnat89 the IC probably not as sensitive as the frer and your frer was faint yday so may not be enough to pick up on the IC yet . All sounds very positive though with no AF too 😘🤞 hope the delivery man comes asap for you xx

francis05 · 22/04/2020 09:05

Eeekk I really hope it's true. Have one ic left but not sure I trust those now so will order some more frer and maybe a digi. Don't feel like I can tell the OH yet, he's absolutely desperate for us to be pregnant again and don't want to get his hopes up, he's also rubbish at seeing faint lines

francis05 · 22/04/2020 09:05

@Hayleylou89 I think I can see a shadow of a line or definitely something! Eekkk!

Hayleylou89 · 22/04/2020 09:06

@francis05 I do see ur faint line!! How exciting!! How many dpo are you now and did u have IB the same time in ur last pregnancy? 🙏 I have hope for u wooo Xx

Iv got no faith in the IC as it faint and colourless so will wait and see what tomorrow / Friday brings and if no AF ill test with my frer ... although tbh i think AF is coming my temp dropped and my cervix is low this mornin we know cp cnt be relied on but i think a temp drop is def a sign AF is approaching, I know im not out yet but not getting my hopes up based on a cheapy that could be nothing 🙄 x

Hayleylou89 · 22/04/2020 09:08

@Donnat89 I look forward to seeing ur frer !! I know itll be much better today!! I was reading all IC threads compared too FRERs and they really are slated as being rubbish so dnt want to get my hopes up that them faints are positives plus if ur frers are show bfp and there still showing nothing then it shows how rubbish they are xx

francis05 · 22/04/2020 09:09

@Hayleylou89 not sure how many dpo I am, thought I was around 14 but would have thought I'd of got a stronger line by now. Again wasn't tracking ovulation in Jan so not sure when IB happened, just know that I tested 3 days after and got a strong bpf.

Donnat89 · 22/04/2020 09:14

Thanks guys I'm feeling more positive as no sign of AF , but I was like 4 days late last month after being on 27 day cycles for almost a year ! So I'm going my cycles haven't changed again !

I'm willing the delivery man to hurry up , I just need to test and know either way !

I've read threads on IC too and it seems like mixed reviews general
Consensus is though they are not as sensitive as they claim to be and I know on another thread I'm on a lady was still getting BFN with them even though she had BFP
on other tests and was defo pg!

Xxx

SmileyT · 22/04/2020 10:20

@Donnat89 I'm so confident for you - that was a blaring line yesterday, roll on delivery man.

@francis05 @Hayleylou89 hoping the floodgates have opened and we are getting a flurry of BFPs. I think my phone is rubbish because I can never see the v faint lines but you can see them IRL so you know 🙌🏾 Hayley I hope the post Mortem goes well today and you get some much needed answers x

Renna · 22/04/2020 10:24

Donnat89 · 22/04/2020 10:29

@SmileyT thanks hun I've started having cramps though the last half an hour or so , my confidence is dwindling as AF seems
To be on the way .

@Renna I’m not to sure lol! Holding in there - had some spotting yesterday, not seen anything yet today, that could be IB (I was 10dpo yesterday) but as with everything in the TWW, it could also be the beginning of AF lol - although I don’t normally start AF with bleeding, but you just never know after AF! I only have one test and it’s a cheapy one from co-op, so will wait and see if AF turns up and if not do a test on Sunday I think!

How are you doing? I hope your UTI isn’t giving you too much grief!! Between this and new house stuff I have been shocking work wise!! I can’t focus!!

Hayleylou89 · 22/04/2020 10:52

@Ejb86 Thanks lovely :) can u send any questions u asked and ill compare to mine i really don't want to miss asking anything 🙏 did u get any answers u wanted? Xx

Ejb86 · 22/04/2020 11:04

@Hayleylou89 She went through the report which really covered the questions that we were going to ask. We were allowed to bring a copy of the reports home, so if that's something you'd want, ask them. The main things we were concerned with were if they were girls as we'd suspected, their weights etc.

Be prepared to see a breakdown of the condition of each of her organs. When I re-read the reports it made me sob when I saw that their ovaries and reproductive systems were perfect.

They also didn't take us to baby areas of the hospital, which I thought was a nice touch as I've read about others going through that around people who are having a positive time with their pregnancies.

We found out exactly what had happened, but I already knew. When I saw the girls after having them, I knew.

@Bellabubble aw hah I know the feeling xx I was having a weird day yday battling with myself! Feel a bit more calm today and just thinking positively that theres still a chance of getting a BFP sunday/monday . 🤞🤞 we are the same I'm 11 dpo today too. AF due Sunday . It would seem too early for you to get bleeding from AF yday so 🤞 for IB . I didnt get IB last time so never have that to go off. I'm still getting these niggly pains in bottom of my back and I'm feeling nauseous this morning .
But yeah could be related to UTI if I have one ! The other symptoms of it seem to have gone like stingy when I go toilet and the urge to go . But I'm not sure if it's still lingering 🙄 omg same with my work haha so bad . And I'm getting my puppy in 4 weeks too so distracted with preparing for that .. found out yday my new house build probably delayed by 3 months because of the Corona virus 🙄 more time to save for new furniture I guess!! Lol xx

Ejb86 · 22/04/2020 11:27

Ok, I'm stressing less now. I've gone back through Ovia from when we were TTC our son and when we conceived the girls without even trying.

When we conceived the twins, we had sex once and it was on cd19. We weren't tracking ovulation. This suggests that ovulation for me has been later probably since I had George, not since having the twins. With George I had a positive OPK on cd15.

I'm much happier now and a lot less stressed about it all!

@Ejb86 thank u, im glad u got ur answers confirmed i really dnt know what went wrong with my pregnancy only that my waters went early i dnt know why though and i dnt think there was anything wring with the baby to be honest she looked perfect but was just tiny, i think its something to do with lletz treatment on my cervix in the years before but we will see 🙏 feel sick thinking about tomorrow tbh incase im shocked at what they tell me x

Hayleylou89 · 22/04/2020 11:38

@Donnat89 ur frers will soon be here and cramps r normal if ur pregnant too xx 🙏🙏

Donnat89 · 22/04/2020 11:42

@Hayleylou89 I've just tracked my parcel it says 430 ! Gonna be a long. Day , yea I know a few that had cramping especially through the first few weeks , I can't remember my Pregnancy's that well so I really can't say if I did or didn't have cramping before . X

tryingtimes20 · 22/04/2020 13:05

Hi everyone, I just came across this thread by searching for getting pregnant first cycle after MC.

Unfortunately I suffered a MMC about a fortnight ago at nearly 10w - this was after seeing a HB only a few days beforehand although the whole experience had been plagued with worry from early on due to bleeding/SCH etc. This was my first pregnancy. Since I found out, I tried to stay 'positive', be rational, that the baby wasn't genetically healthy, tell myself I was just 'unlucky', but it's very hard.

Today marks one week from an ERPC which I was able to have very quickly after the news. Although I obviously wish I didn't lose my pregnancy, I felt very lucky that my Trust was still offering surgical management, as there are several ladies on the MC board who are in a situation where they're only being offered medical management, and are having to wait. It's a horrendous situation.

I'm still bleeding a little and in recovery, but keen to get back into the saddle in another week/10 days' time when hopefully everything has gone back to normal.

This thread helps me focus on a hopefully brighter future. I'd love to hear from people who were able to get pregnant again quickly after their MC - reading other people's happy experiences makes me feel a lot better. Thanks xx

Renna · 22/04/2020 13:31

@tryingtimes20 hiya xx sorry for your loss and what you been through xx from reading the thread you've probably seen a lot of us all feel the same about wanting to try again as soon as our bodies are ready so you're not alone there 😘 and I feel the same about seeing the positive stories of BFPs after a MC . Gives me hope and reassurance and when you get to know each other too it's even nicer to see it happen for ladies on here xx hope your recovery is going well and get a BFP very soon in the near future xxxx
