TTC after MC - November 2020 (Thread 15)

[VP91x]

Hi All,

Please tag anyone from the old thread 🥰🥰

And anyone else who would like to join please do xx

@MgW1 Congratulations!! Absolutely fantastic news!!!! I'm not getting notifications of messages being posted on here anymore so only just seen your BFP.

@susiebluebell hope you are doing OK, sounds like a good plan you've got, look after yourself first, then your body will be able to look after a baby, and as you said it gives you something else to focus on.
@HappyVibes sorry she turned up :( but enjoy the next few weeks and keep busy.

@Garman don't be hard in yourself, it's that time of year to eat rubbish, and if you are exercising as well then good on you.

I was working out 4 to 5 times a week before I got covid a month ago, since then I've struggled to get back into it, did a workout in Tuesday and doing another tonight. I think I'm just nervous as my MC started the day after we DTD and when I was working out a lot. Poor DH hasn't got very lucky since my BFP!

@RichmondLady1981 fingers crossed for you, well done on holding out

@MSG92
Hi thankyou !!
How are you doing ? Hopefully things will progress ok this time, might try and arrange a reassurance scan around 8 week mark xx

@MgW1 I'm good thank you, just trying to get back into my routine a bit of working out. Got my first MW appointment tomorrow, only over the phone then bloods next week...haven't told her I'm terrified of needles yet!!

I had a scan at 8 weeks (measured 7w5) just wanted to be sure there was a heartbeat, it definitely helped a lot.

@MgW1 Congratulations such wonderful news.
Did you have any symptoms were you suspected you might be pregnant xxx

@MgW1 HUUUUUUUUUGE congratulations!!!!! Best Christmas Present ever x x

@mgW1 congrats xx

@Mustkeepgoing2
Hi yes , l cramping for about 10 days so nearly ovulation , constipation and dizzy / light headed on and off over laat week. Breasts have started to get bigger xx

@RichmondLady1981
Hi thank you 😊 xx

@MgW1 congratulations. Amazing news x

Congratulations @MgW1 how long has it been since your miscarriage? It's been almost four months since mine. Had cramps last few days, was hoping they were implantation cramps but unfortunately got my period today. Treating myself to a glass of vino and Christmas movie. Urgh why does no one tell you it's this hard to get pregnant when you're a horny teenager?!

@HappyVibes sorry to hear AF arrived. Think of all the wine and nice stuff you can get involved in over Xmas. 🍷 😘

@meganlaura
Beginning of August. I take seven seas vits and my husband is on wellman. I tried Evening primrose as well for first 2 weeks of my cycle. Conception may have occured for you but due to recovering hormones it might not have been right. If you mc 4 months ago then you must be nearly there hun , keep trying. I got really down about it all at times its hard because your head feels ready to move on but your body has other ideas. Also stress cortisol can affect fertility , its a major trauma is a mc and just think , every month your a step closer and a bit longer in your vitamins .... it all helps xx

This is such a lovely positive outlook to have ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@meganlaura I just wanted to say I understand its so hard not getting pregnant soon after a miscarriage.. And wanted to share that I got my blood scans and test results from the fertility clinic today and everything was fine after ttc for 12 months after our last misscarriage and I asked would the miscarriage have affected anything any they said no.. It just seems to be taking a while for me for no apparent reason.. I know I sometimes wondered if the miscarriage itself could have done something.. I hope your rainbow baby is just around the corner for xx

No apparent reason... Ain't that the truth @Sarahdaydreamer1234 @meganlaura

And I'm sorry your AF arrived @meganlaura @HappyVibes Spoil yourselves a bit! X

Morning all!

For those of you who have unfortunately had more than one miscarriage, have any of you tried taking really low baby asprin once a day?

I have seen lots of women who have tried this after more than one miscarriage and have had success.

Morning @J785948 we have had four losses. Awaiting appt on Monday with gynae for results with bloods and scans etc. I started taking one tablet low dosage aspirin for this past cycle after researching and finding that it can’t do no harm even if don’t have APS xxx

Slight temp drop for me today at 10dpo. Would expect it to start rising a little by now. Let’s see.

May I ask what the purpose of baby aspirin is?

@RichmondLady1981 it’s in aim of helping the blood flow through the body and to the uterus...in aim of minimising risk of clots (which is often a cause for reoccurring mc). I’ve just taken usual Aspirin but low dosage, I’m not sure what ‘baby aspirin’ is.

I’ve noticed that my AF is so much of a fresher blood colour this month after taking the aspirin for one month..it’s usually soooo much darker and usually quite a lot of clots too. Interesting. I’ve only just actually put two and two together as I’ve typed this, so thanks @J785948

I will of course. Heck it out on Monday with gynae too but my research was that it’s abso fine even if don’t have APS so I’m not worried about taking it without medical oversight at this stage as it’s such low dosage xxxx

@j785948 I've been prescribed this from my miscarriage clinic along with heparin and progesterone for my next pregnancy but have been advised to only take aspirin after a BFP. I think there is a small risk of aspirin affecting implantation but I think each clinic had different views on this. To be honest out of the 12 months i have taken it 2 months just to see and i did notice my period came a bit sooner than expected and a bit heavier so it definitely does something. I was going to take baby aspirin (75mg) even if they didn't prescribe it from BFP as I've heard it helps so many people.

Congratulations @mgw1 what a lovely early Christmas present,, wishing you all the best!
Abit tmi but I've just had my first period since my mmc. I feel quite relieved, but I'm fed up of the amount of blood I've seen over the past 2 months haha! I'm so longing for another baby (I have a DD already who is my world) but I'm really apprehensive about ttc again. I already regret leaving it so long to try and it took a year to fall before the miscarriage. So my plan for now is to not try but not prevent. Then in maybe 3 months time I'll start tracking ovulation and going from there (3 months sounds so far a way I bet I don't stick to this plan haha!)

Thank you @Sarahdaydreamer1234 @HappyVibes for your responses!

I have had 2 miscarriages in the space of 6 months and I am 100% expecting it to happen for a third time but want to do everything I can to avoid it.

My GP said it was ok to take but didn't say about whether to take during the TWW or wait until I have had a positive. Currently on 7/8 DPO and have taken it for the last two days - but now debating about stopping and waiting until I get a positive. Oh what to do!!

We are trying for a third time but I have done some research on private clinics just encase we decide not to wait for the NHS to refer us.

I think the baby asprin is just another phrase for the 75mg ones as that is what I am taking also.

@RichmondLady1981 / a temp drop may just be a one off, see what it is tomorrow morning. Best of luck!

My update - still waiting for bleeding to stop 1.5 days after MMC surgery. Thought it had gone away yesterday then ramped back up overnight. Sighhh

1.5 weeks I mean! Surgery was 30th November
