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

@J785948 I had cramps on Sunday and I was convinced af would come. I think I've got my line today :) good luck!!

@Hopefulmummie I can see a line!! Mine were super feint on amazon sticks. FRER picked mine up quite strong but the amazon sticks looked like this.

Think I got my progression line and bring BFP this morning. I'm still in shock we managed it before my period even started. I was hopefully we would get PG straight away but never thought we actually would!

@Mumsdaily congratulations that's Amazing.

Unfortunately my line is still from previous pregnancy. Will maybe give EPU a ring today to let them know I'm still testing positive

@Hopefulmummie ahh sorry I just saw your post before. I had very feint lines up until about 4 days before I ovulated, I ovulated at the end of 3 weeks. I had an MC at 7 weeks. Good luck x

@Mumsdaily congratulations fab news!

@Hopefulmummie i can't see much on the test tbh. I'm testing positive 2 weeks after too but it's a very dark positive. I'd perhaps give it another 3/4 days and try again. The hospital told me to contact them if it was still positive after 3 weeks.

@Hopefulmummie I don’t think I can see one x

@Hopefulmummie congratulations! That’s great news

@Hopefulmummie so sorry, I accidentally tagged the wrong person there.

@Mumsdaily congratulations on your news x

So 2 weeks and 2 days after surgery I still have a super faint line on pregnancy tests. I hope itll be a proper negative by 3 weeks after. Have also stioped bleeding. Hopefully this means things can get going again!

@bez91 @PumpkinEverything - how are you guys doing?

@RS2609 @Hopefulmummie mine is still a faint positive 2 weeks and 2 days after surgery. I was told it should be blank by 3 weeks afterwards

Interestingly, my temps are lower than they have ever been in the last few days!

@TheDaydreamBelievers yes I have found that with my temps too!

Congrats @Mumsdaily 😊

@Hopefulmummie yes I can see a very very faint line on there. I’d give them a quick ring just to let them know but I would guess they’ll say to give it another few days. As it’s so faint I can’t imagine them being too worried.

@TheDaydreamBelievers got a little bit sad last night because I’ve seen multiple announcements this week, but feeling a bit better thankfully! Had very very minimal spotting yesterday, if I’d really call it any, so hoping this is the end of that part at least. Now wishing the days away until Tuesday to be able to test again to see if the test is any less positive as I’m really not expecting it to be completely negative after that bold line.

@mumsdaily congratulations!! Fantastic news

@PumpkinEverything - it might do! In a week since last test mine has gone from bold as brass (looked same as pre surgery) to barely there (can see it with a torch and lots of squinting)

I’m really glad to hear that, I really hope the same happens with mine next week @TheDaydreamBelievers I was almost convinced mine would have been negative this week because I’ve not felt pregnant in weeks, even before the surgery, but I guess that’s not how it works 😂

Hi ladies, I'm probably too early to join just yet, but this group gave me such hope and reassurance! I'm so sorry for your losses, but thankful to you for sharing your stories. 😘Congratulations to those of you with BFPs! 😍

Went to the EPU yesterday as I was experiencing spotting, and I should have been about 10+3 weeks, but the scan was only showing around 5 weeks. I need to go back on 23rd where they will most likely conclude bad news, even though my body is still behaving like it's pregnant. 😔 💔 I'm 36 and this is my first pregnancy after 5 months TTC, so we're just going through a rollercoaster of emotions right now. 😳 Fortunately we can both WFH, so we've been able to chat and cry, and then distract ourselves with work!

I found the whole TTC process a bit overwhelming and stressful, but keen to get back on it!

Sorry, wrote a bit of an essay for what was supposed to be a quick hello! 😂

@Mumsdaily That's lovely to see such good lines, congratulations 🎊 hope it all goes smoothly for you xx

@Hopefulmummie I do see a line, but I think it's so faint at this point that you can be sure the hormones are nearly all out of your system. If it was a pregnancy test under normal circumstances I'd be telling you that my eyes were playing tricks on me, and to wait a few more days to confirm! 😛

Welcome @M4v3r1ck it's a rough old ride alright! So sorry that you're going through it 💕 The ladies on here are so supportive, and it sounds like you've got a great connection with your OH. It'll all work out xx

Hey ladies
Has anyone on here had 2 consecutive losses ? I have been referred for a pelvic scan to check for polyps / cysts / fibroids xx

Welcome @M4v3r1ck so sorry you’re going through this. I’m so happy to have found this group as it’s so active and everyone is so nice, and it really has helped in making me feel so much better and less alone!

Thank you @susiebluebell. I think we will try and get through Christmas and then think about TTC in the new year. Gives DH and I a few weeks to process everything and then we can look to the future in a new year...this year I just want to see the back of to be honest.

Sorry that you find yourself here @M4v3r1ck. My MMC was recent as well. Had my scan on Saturday where I expected to be 10+6 but measurements showed pregnancy stopped around 5/6 weeks. I was also offered a rescan but I miscarried on Sunday before the rescan took place.

I was directed to this group and found everyone to be so lovely and supportive. Especially as DH and I haven’t took many people in real life.

Hope you are as ok as you can be xx

Hi all,

This will be a long one so I’m sorry in advance. I lost my first born in June 2020 at full term due to an incredibly rare pregnancy complication. I’m still utterly devastated. My periods were SUPER strange afterwards. I had an 11 day cycle followed by a 50 day one. I knew something was up so I demanded blood tests. Long story short my consultant spotted a problem with my thyroid, I had developed post partum thyroiditis. My doctor had told me that all was well with my thyroid so this was a huge shock. I am now under the care of an endocrinologist and I’m taking thyroid meds to stabilise it. I fell pregnant whilst all this was going on but went for a scan on Monday expecting to be 7 weeks. The baby was only showing as between 5-6 weeks so a missed miscarriage. I just can’t believe my luck. I’m full of all emotions at the moment. I’m going to wait until all of this is over. I’m opting for surgical management on Tuesday. I’m just hoping I don’t miscarry naturally before then. I’m going to give myself a break and wait for my first period after I’ve stopped bleeding before we ttc again. Has anyone got any tips on distracting yourself whilst waiting for the first cycle to get over with? I’ve realised that I tried to soon after my original loss and didn’t give myself time to grieve properly and so I’m learning from our lesson that I need to wait until Feb to ttc again. Has anyone got any advice?

Thanks for reading. Sort for all of our loses. It’s such a cruel world at times. ❤️ X

Thank you for the warm welcome and replies, ladies - it's very much appreciated! 😍

@bubblybrit I'm so sorry to hear that - your story sounds so similar to mine! At the moment, it's just kind of hanging over me - waiting for the inevitable. Here's to a much better 2021 for us both! 😘

@Hopingformyrainbow I'm so sorry for what you've been through. I'm afraid I can't give any advice, but sending you much love! 😘

Hey @TheDaydreamBelievers & @PumpkinEverything too. Glad to hear you're getting closer to that negative @TheDaydreamBelievers I'm doing ok, waiting out until Saturday to test again when I'll be 2.5 weeks post procedure. Really hoping there is some deterioration in the line 😣 I think I've already ovulated even though I've not been tracking

@M4v3r1ck really sorry to hear this. Sending you love and support. Sounds very similar to what I am/just have gone through. I've found some really supportive people here going through the same thing which has made things that little bit easier.

@MgW1 I'm in the 2 consecutive losses club although they told me that they would only investigate further if I had a 3rd. My second was a MMC and had plenty of internal scans, not sure but I assume they could check for those whilst they were there. I hope they get to the bottom of it for you

@Hopingformyrainbow so sorry to read your story, you've had it really rough. Sending you best wishes. My only advice is self care, whatever works for you exercise; walking, yoga even if they're new things just to still be able to focus on yourself without having to TTC 💕

@bez91 @M4v3r1ck thank you for your kind words. I’m just emotionally numb atm. How did you guys know that you were/are ready to try again?

@Hopingformyrainbow I am so f-ing sorry. That is awful and I cant believe what you've been through. Wishing you all the healing in the world

@bez91 - if you've ovulated your hcg must be down! Ovulation is suppressed if it's still high
