Penguin huddle 🐧🐧🐧 TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 35 - time for some sticky BFP's

963 replies

SomeBunnyovertheRainbow · 19/05/2020 15:36

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 coming months!

AF has made another scheduled appearance, with extra cramps for the fun of it ☹️ x

Mumlili9 · 04/09/2020 17:04

Hello ladies just checking in. Ive got my hysteroscopy on 26th and my brain scan (mri) on 16th. So its actually worked out well that I'm not trying this month or next because of the mri. Im at end of my rope with all this now. Why can't I just get pregnant and have a baby like most other women do why have I had to say good bye to 9 babies , its just so unfair 😥

Kiki275 · 04/09/2020 17:25

@Mumlili9 all I can offer are huge hugs 😢. I hope both investigations offer up some answers for you xx

BunnyLovesBananas · 04/09/2020 23:23

I'm sorry it's so hard @Mumlili9 I feel fed up right now tbh.

Hope everyone is doing well

Mumlili9 · 06/09/2020 20:43

Well today was strange im 12dpo and for the first time in 3 years I've not tested on 12dpo. There's almost a sadness about it. Though its saved me the heart ache of that BFN. It feels all wrong though 😪

Mumlili9 · 07/09/2020 20:06

Hello ladies how are you?

@venusstarr how is ivf going?

Kiki275 · 07/09/2020 21:07

Hi @Mumlili9 it must feel so strange but hopefully it means you're one step closer to some much needed answers and 🤞 a solution x

VenusStarr · 08/09/2020 08:43

Hi everyone, sorry I've been off the radar, thanks for asking after me. I'm not doing great at the moment - really bad anxiety. Today is the anniversary of my second loss 💔 I hope you're all OK xx

VenusStarr · 08/09/2020 12:56

So I thought I'd update, I was hoping to have better news (hence the quietness and anxiety). I am pregnant but I've started bleeding quite heavily at 6+1 so think it's over. I'd booked an early private scan next week to avoid the epu, but think I might have to call them. I'm on the progesterone suppositories so shouldn't even bleed. So this is likely miscarriage number 4. I think I'm just in shock. I really thought this could have been the one. Typically an orchid flower shrivelled and dropped off yesterday and I told myself I was silly for believing it was anything, but here I am waiting to miscarry my 4th baby 💔

Kiki275 · 08/09/2020 13:25

Oh Venus, I'm so incredibly sorry to hear this. Massive hugs from me. Is OH at home to support you or are you alone?xx

Semele5069 · 08/09/2020 17:13

So sorry to hear that @VenusStarr. Lots of love.xx

VenusStarr · 08/09/2020 18:19

Thank you @Semele5069 ❤️

Thank you @Kiki275, my sister came round earlier to sit with me. I've got a scan booked for Friday. The Tommy's recurrent miscarriage clinic have been awful to be honest, no empathy or advice, just very dismissive. I've got a GP appointment in the morning and hoping they'll refer me to Professor Quenby at Coventry. I can't believe after 4 losses that it's just bad luck. Not that this one is confirmed yet, but I can't see me having a happy ending.
Dh is just numb, still holding onto hope 💔 I'm just exhausted xx

Kiki275 · 08/09/2020 19:11

@VenusStarr 4 losses does not sound like bad luck. I sincerely hope that you're given the attention you deserve and that there are some answers to be had. If there is a genetic explanation then there will be potential workarounds x

BunnyLovesBananas · 08/09/2020 21:01

I hope you're okay @VenusStarr 💗

Mumlili9 · 10/09/2020 21:05

@venusstarr im so sorry to hear this. Im sorry im only just reading this. Ive been busy with work and haven't been on. Sending you hugs and healing energy xx heart broken 💔 for you

Kiki275 · 11/09/2020 07:44

@VenusStarr thinking of you today xx

Mumlili9 · 11/09/2020 10:32

@venusstarr ❤ thinking of you x

VenusStarr · 11/09/2020 13:10

Thank you everyone. Sadly it's not good news 💔 baby is measuring 5mm with no heartbeat. The sonographer got a second opinion and they both said they can't call it yet due to the size but that there is no hope for this little one. They're saying I'm only measuring 5 weeks, but they said that on my 2 pregnancies last year and they only measured 1.9 and 2.1mm - not sure I understand that.
So I'm just waiting to miscarry. I need to get this little one tested ❤️

Kiki275 · 11/09/2020 17:52

@VenusStarr I don't know what to say, other than so I'm sorry to hear this. Huge hugs xx

Mumlili9 · 13/09/2020 03:42

@VenusStarr im so sorry yo hear this sad news xx please know were all here for you when your ready. Feel free to pm me if you want to x

Kiki275 · 13/09/2020 09:12

@VenusStarr just checking in to say I'm thinking of you. Hope you're holding up okay xx

Kiki275 · 15/09/2020 21:36

Hi everyone,
think I'm on the TWW, not so clear when I ovulated this week so kinda guessing. Anyhows, hope you're all okay x

Mumlili9 · 15/09/2020 23:30

Hi everyone. So I know I said I wasn't going to try for a few months well it turns out that I'm going to ovulate on or around my birthday this week so I'm saying stuff it im trying cant miss a birthday bounce now can I.

@Kiki275 fingers crossed this is your cycle
@BunnyLovesBananas @Semele5069 how are you ?

Semele5069 · 16/09/2020 08:12

Hi @Mumlili9 thanks for checking in! I'm doing ok thanks. 6+2 at a conservative estimate, possibly 6+4 depending on when I consider my period started.

I've been so sick for the past week, which didn't happen in my pregnancy that got to this point before, so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

I have an early scan booked for Thursday- I would have preferred to wait for the following week but am too busy in work and don't think I can hold out for the week after that! Very anxious generally.

I hope you're all doing well. I am continuing to follow this thread!

Mumlili9 · 16/09/2020 20:38

@Semele5069 very exciting let us know how you get on xx
