🦕 Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 4 🦕

[Annny27]

Hi everyone,

Setting up the new thread for us - we have come a long way since January and sadly a few of us are still on the "journey". Let's hope we arent here for much longer. Wishing us all baby dust (although its been so long I am not sure dust will do it for me - maybe will have to up the particle size to "baby sand" )

Sorry your going through a tough time at the min that's when I fell pregnant again I stopped taking my temp just went with the flow enjoyed being with the oh again instead of timed sex. Thank you for the sweet msg just hoping everything OK on Thursday. 🍀💚

Hello :)

My fertilitt appointment :. I am having my progesteron check next week they said either the Friday or the Monday as they can see on the way to peak progesterone or on the way out levels. and then if we don't conceive, the cycle after I will have my days 1-5 blood tests plus rubella and will then have a mid cycle transvaginal ultrasound around day 10-14 to check everything is okay!

I am always happy when they say "you are so young" but doesn't make it any more reassuring as I am still not pregnant :p

@27DONFIN ahhh I hate it when you know she is arriving but is a bit late! Drags it on so much!!

@itssquidstella I am feeling hopeful but realistic haha! How about you?

@ELM7 oh lovely its hard when you get to that point but I thjnk mentally its a really strong position to say that you are taking it easy and see how things go. Definitely less stressful than me peeing on ovulation sticks advert few hours and obsessed with my cervical mucus!!! Is your OH on the same page?

@Babyghirl thats so good your OH can go with you :)

@Annny27
Thank god he's allowed to go he has to wait outside I have to go up on my own but ring him when they ready to scan me at least he's allowed in for that part off it. Eases my mind awee bit. I told him last week when I thought it was the worst I would go on my own as I knw wat to expect but then told him yesterday I wanted him with me so he going. He hates me doing things like that on my own but knows I'm strong and like to do things on my own, he's so under standing but I would hate to c the disappointment on his face and I hate crying in front off people to ad it makes me look weak lol.

@Annny27
Great new with the clinic I'm sure u will relax nw knowing ur getting tests done, last September when I was referred to the fertility clinic I fell pregnant cause It relaxed me knowing things where going to be checked out its funny how r body's work. I hated so much people telling me to relax I would give them the evil stir, but in the end it was true cause the months I relaxed was the months I fell pregnant. Yous girls r going to get there and hold ur rainbow babies and I will be here still waiting to c 1 by 1 off yous getting your bfp 🍀💚 xx

Morning ladies
I'm having such a bad week and it's only Tuesday!
My car got stolen yesterday when I was at work
And today AF is here
😭
Who knows what's going on with my body.
I'm so close to how you feel @ELM7 💖 sending love xx

@Fizzl wow can't believe how strong your line is. I've never had more than 0.61 :/
Maybe I did miss it but I was testing twice a day

@Annny27 your phone call sounds reassuring so that's good. Since my af came today I'm gonna have to try and get a blood test booked in the next 3-5 days which I think will be impossible but we will see

Hope everyone is okay today

@Annny27 not too hopeful! Both cycles I’ve been pregnant my nipples were really sore and they aren't now so I'm not feeling optimistic tbh. I'm still only 3dpo, though, so I suppose it's early days.

Morning :) 2/3 dpo for me!

@Nuggetlover27 oh my goodness you poor thing! How on earth did it get stolen? Do they have any leads for where it is/ whoever did it?

And also double blow that AF arrived:( did you start the LH strips early enough as it sounds like a day14 ovulation

@itssquidstella yeah 3dpo is super early for any symptoms so don't count yourself out :)

@Babyghirl hopefully it will be the same for me haha! Although I am getting a root canal done on Friday so can't imagine I will be too relaxed during that 😂😂😂

@Nuggetlover27 OMG I’m so sorry that’s just awful. Hope they find the person who stole it.

AF due yesterday not appeared yet but started to feel dull cramps 😭another failed cycle

@Annny27 no leads or anything. Haven't heard back from the police yet but I don't have my hopes up :(. I was already feeling rubbish yesterday since it was one year since my BFP 😭 can I just hibernate this month? Haha
Yeah for some reason it looks like it was a day 14 ov. Who knows why. I haven't had a cycle this length since before my mc
Good luck with your root canal! I had one of them a couple years ago and it wasn't too bad. Hope yours isn't !

@27DONFIN thank you lovely me too.
If AF arrives for you today we may be cycle buddies this month x

@Annny27
Your mind will be on something else thou lol, well less than 48 hours to the scan feels like it's dragging in a bit lol. 2 more sleeps as im saying and I will knw wats going on wish it was tomara or even nw 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 I'm at the point nw my second loss happened so a bit on edge today but I really can't change the outcome off wats going to happen I can just be positive 💚🍀🤞🙏

@Nuggetlover27 it’s here 😭

Good morning girls how yous all doing just 24 hours to go for me 🙏🙏🙏🙏 I'm dreading it lol wish it was here already so I knw wats going on in there 🍀💚

Hi everyone. Hoping to join you in TTC again soon. Had a MMC around 3 weeks ago. Waited to see if it passed naturally aa I've been bleeding loads and had loads of pain since. I was convinced I was over the worst of it over a week ago when I lost 2 large clots. I went for my check up scan on Monday and they told me the baby is still there inside the sac. It's just sitting above the cervix. The Dr tried to get to it with a speculum and forceps but my cervix is too closed. They gave me pessaries on Mon to try and open my cervix but I don't think it's working. I have to get more tomorrow and if there's still no movement, they'll give me a D&C but not for 3 more weeks as they need to leave that time between the medical management and surgery. They've been trying to avoid giving me a general anaesthetic from day 1 as I've had so many surgeries before for my Crohn's. Sorry for the long message, it's all a bit of a mess. The hardest part was having a scan at 8+3 with a strong heartbeat and dates measuring perfectly then to be told the heart had stopped 2 days later x

@Babyghirl really hope all goes well at your scan this morning and you get some positive news. Thinking of you. x

@ELM7
Thank you here nw thank god wait is over to I knw wats going on 🤞🙏🍀💚

Morning lovelies, thinking of you @Babyghirl and really hope you’ve had positive news at your scan 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@Nuggetlover27 so sorry your car got stolen that’s awful!
Hope everyone is ok and those in the 2WW are surviving!
@Annny27 it sounds like they’re being really thorough with you that’s great 👍🏻👍🏻

Morning everyone 😁

Ah @Annny27 we really are tww buddies this time! I think I must have ovulated Sunday evening so I'm 4dpo now. How are you getting in? I'm surprisingly chilled again at the minute and trying not to think too much about it! I've been quite distracted by work too.

@ELM7 sorry you're having a rough time 😞. I understand what you mean about not wanting to obsess anymore and I think what you're doing is right to take the pressure off and not let it dominate your life anymore. I often mourn my 'old' life and feel very torn with it all. I admire your decision and hopefully the relaxed approach will work for you.

@Nuggetlover27 oh I'm sorry you are having a really tough time of it aren't you! That's a real double blow, talk about kicking you whilst your down.
Hopefully that's a good sign about your cycle tho! My cycles finally seem to be regulating again and it's been almost 12months since my BFP too so maybe it is the case that for some of us unlucky ones our bodies just take a long time to 'reset'. I actually had my first 12 day lp last month so 🤞 this means healthier cycles for us now going forward!

@Babyghirl good luck for today, hope all is well 💐

@EJay84 sorry you're here with us. It's such a crap time and we've all been where you are right now and I can assure you it does get easier with time. It feels super cruel when you've seen a heartbeat. I had very similar happen to me, I'd seen the heartbeat at 6 weeks then had a scan at 9+3 and they said the baby stopped growing at 9+1 and it felt really difficult to swallow! I hope you can take it easy over the next few weeks whilst you physically recover 💐

Well scan showed baby with a heart beat measuring a bit behind but cause my cycle is all over the place think I ovulated a bit l8r bck in two weeks so fingers crossed all is good girls thank you for all the lovely msg girls xx

Thank you. I'm just at the hospital again now for a 2nd dose of the pessaries. I've asked if the Dr can take another look for me on the off chance my cervix has opened a bit more and she can access it. I hate the thought of going home again and still playing this horrible waiting game. Especially as my husband is nightshift the next 3 weeks and I'm home alone with my kids at night. I'm so sorry everyone here has been through this. It's just awful x

@EJay84 so sorry you are goi g through all this. Just heartbreaking.

@Babyghirl brilliant news so glad it went well x

Cervix still closed. Just waiting my 20 mins with the pessaries in then I'll be home again x

@Babyghirl that's such good news! I bet you are so relieved. I've been thinking of you all morning 💖

Sorry af arrived @27DONFIN but we are cycle buddies this month. What CD do you normally ovulate?

Thanks @scrumdiddly123 and @Fizzl I hope it is the case that my body took longer to reset and my cycles will be more normal from now.

TMI but af this month is very clotty. I don't know what that means but it's not normally this bad. I am always heavy but this is different.

Also not TTC related but the police found my car! I can't believe it. Someone must be looking down on me. I'm hoping my luck is starting to change 🤞🏻

@EJay84 sorry to find you here 💐 but welcome. I hope they can sort out something so you are able to mourn and move forward x

@Nuggetlover27 I actually had to check my app there as I so use to just checking with ovulation sticks. Most months CD 14 varies now and then. What about you?

@Babyghirl I’m so pleased that you had a positive scan. Must of been such a relief and lovely to see the heartbeat. Try and not worry for the next couple of weeks (but I know that’s so much easier said than done)

@EJay84 I’m so sorry you are going through this it’s a club none of us want to be in but we are here to rant to anytime you need.

@Nuggetlover27 sorry you have t had the best of weeks but am pleased that your car has been found - hope it hasn’t been damaged.

Good luck to those in the dreaded TWW

Thank you for your lovely messages ladies I lm sure I’ll go back into crazy TTC mode before long but just hope I can try and relax and just take some time out for us rather than it being the forefront on my mind. Again so much easier said than done! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Thanks everyone. It's so comforting to know there are others I can talk to who have had the same experience. It's a lonely time x
