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

[SomeBunnyovertheRainbow]

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!

@kim80 oh gosh that's very frustrating!! Maybe it is AF if you've had no bleeding for a little while. Hope you're ok x

I'm fine in myself @marshmallow123 like you say its just so frustrating and been so long and drawn out. Im not so sure it is my af, but have said to my partner we will take it as it is then we can start ttc again

Hi everyone, just popping on to say I had medical management on Thursday - after a stressful time at the hospital (I changed to a different one and my old one hadn't sent my scans over). I was shocked to pass the pregnancy later that evening, compared to my natural losses it was relatively smooth and pain free. I did manage to preserve them and took them to hospital the next day. I saw my Tommy's Midwife and she checked them over and said she felt it was complete, so they've been sent for testing. I'm hardly bleeding now, which is a bit worrying, should it be more? My dh and I have had blood karyotyping done a couple of weeks ago too, so we're waiting for two sets of results, which will probably be Christmas time. I think I need a break for a bit before we think of next steps. I've not really processed this yet. My dh was with me when I passed this pregnancy and I'll never forget his face 😔 💔 I feel relieved that I have done all I can now and just hope there is enough for the hospital to test and hopefully we're a step closer to answers.

I'm waiting got my negative and then I can get my recurrent bloods redone too, I'm glad the hospital are checking this for me to rule out sticky bloods etc even though my first set were normal. We just need to understand why the babies don't grow beyond 6+weeks. This was our biggest at 6+5 but I don't miscarry until 9/10 weeks. I just wish I could take a pill or injection and fix this. We got a lovely memory box from this hospital, the first time our baby has recognised and acknowledged ❤️

I hope every one is doing OK xx

@Jaysdream7 hello and welcome to the most supportive group of beautiful women ive ever met. I hope you will feel this is a safe place. How heart breaking 11 losses. I too have had multiple losses (9) and its so painful. We will have our rainbows eventually ( im wearing my positive pants today).

@LoveEatYoga they haven't experienced pregnancy or baby loss so I guess they just don't think about it the way we do.

@Marshmallow123 im ok cd2 and totally gutted it didn't work gor my birthday. I suppose I am asking for miracles considering the consultant said it was very unlikely to ever happen again. Im glad you are recovering well and closer is a good sign. Dont forget though if you want to talk im always here even if its just to rant.

@Jaysdream7 11 babies, that's just heartbreaking 😢 Not prying but if by medical reasons, you mean tmfr, there is also a lovely group I'm on which is focused on TTC following these.

@VenusStarr I do so hope you get some answers. Christmas really is that far away and hopefully the new year will bring solutions and positivity.

xx

@VenusStarr great to hear your being looked after hun x hugs and healing thoughts to you x

@VenusStarr I've been thinking of you and hope you're doing okay 💗

Hi ladies
Do you mind if I jump in, I'm 33 and I have been ttc for 12 months. I have been with my partner for 15 years. I've waited a long time for this part of my life and I didnt expect it to be this tough.
I did get pregnant in april although I lost it at 6 weeks 2 days. My GP was kind enough to send me for blood tests that week and confirmed my pregnancy. I didnt feel as foolish. I had told my family and his, everyone needed something to cheer them up as we had lost two relatives to coronavirus. The week before.
Miscarriage is such a lonely loss and grieving process.
Those events and the Coronavirus pandemic slowed our ttc down but these last two months we have been really trying again.
I'm currently cycle day 16 and I am symptom spotting as I suspect I ovulated cycle day 10.
I have decided against using ovulation strips so far and just decided to have lots of sex. My sex drive is quite high so I am happy with this method. Although I might try the strips next month if I dont concieve.

I'm hoping for a christmas miracle to end this terrible year

@Yellowbaby1 hello and welcome. Sorry for your loss x I hope you find support here with these wonderful women. I hope you don't feel quite so alone here with us

My friend has just announced her pregnancy. I'm over the moon for her, genuinely. The only thing is that she's confirmed our local hospital aren't allowing partners into the scan room at 12 wks. This news has literally knocked me for six again, every doubt is now flooding back x

@Kiki275 if that's the case for me (I'm in the UK) I will be paying for a private scan. So my partner can be there

@Yellowbaby1 I would too, the only problem is I haven't had a good experience of them. With my twins, they missed off one twin and got the dates quite out. I know I could try a different one but not sure I'd trust them either x

I really hope they sort out maternity care soon I know covid is a real risk but some practises are causing more harm @Kiki275

I finally had some good news today my tests came back that it wasnt a partial molar so have finally been given the green light to try again.

Hope you lovely ladies are all OK. Xx

@kim80 that's brilliant news!

@Yellowbaby1 definitely! I can't imagine what it's like to get bad news in this environment and I'm so worried about the possibility of it x

Thank you @Kiki275 I thought it may have put a stop to it but nope so all systems go now 🙂

Hi ladies how are you.

I back trying again this cycle. Im trying to delay my ovulation this cycle with EPO hope it works or we will miss ovulation by a day. Stupid work patterns. I really need you all to cross your fingers for me i really need some thing good to happen for a change. In cd 8 and I ovulated on cd9 last cycle. Ive had 2 days of high fertility on my monitor so praying that it holds off for a bit. Really starting to panic now as I'm getting older by the minute and when I was 36 it seemed fine ( im still young) but 39 is now looking like im never going to be able to do this.

Keeping everything crossed for you @Mumlili9 xx

Hello ladies can I get some advice. I feel I ovulated on Sunday. I had ovulation pain and ewfm but it turn creamy the next day (Monday) but no temp rise Monday, Tuesday or today . Do you think I ovulated at all ??? Feeling really gutted with my body right now

Oh @Mumlili9 that must be so irritating. No advice on the temping but I'll keep fingers crossed for you. Do you think it'll happen later?x

@Kiki275 heaven knows tbh ive just about given up. I got really good positive opks and really good ewcm and then realising then nothing its like it just stopped

Thinking of you all tonight x
#waveoflight

Lots of love to all of you today xxx

I lost this thread until I just found it on active...

I hope everyone is okay

@mumlili9 it sounds like you did. Try and keep positive.

I know how you feel I'm currently waiting to ovulate after 2 x erpc's and don't seem to be seeing any movement on the opks.

I do wonder if all the worrying makes it worse.

Sending a hug 😊
