TTC after MC - Dec/Jan 2020 (Thread 16)

[Bellabubble]

I think I worked out how to make a new thread!! Tag yourselves/place mark to continue our chats from before :)

@MSG92 So looking forward to hearing how your scan goes! I'll think of you at 11.15! Xx

@SS123456 Sorry to read you've had Covid and been worried. I second HappyVibes in saying go for a reassurance scan! It must be horrible for you, I hope you get some peace of mind soon xxx

Thank you @susiebluebell ❤️. Once I can leave the house I will xx

@HappyVibes we are ON IT!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for a 2021 baby xx

@elsimo they look good! I don't use that app or those OPKs but I hope that's some relief for you that you're ovulating early 🤞🏼get on it!
I'm CD4 so hoping for early ov too 😊

I took a test today AF due tomorrow but no symptoms. I’m 13dpo and the test was negative but was just a cheap boots one wasn’t early detection. I still feel like I could be pregnant but at the same time feel like my periods is just going to come tomorrow. I feel really upset this is so hard getting hopes up every month

Not much clearer this morning to me what’s going on here 🤦‍♀️😂 I haven’t bothered with a test as I think I’m going to wait until whatever this bleeding is stops, surely this is getting rid of the end of it?! As for the bleeding, barely any last night, and then it’s mostly only when I go to the bathroom today and it’s brown as if it’s old blood. Has anyone else experienced this with their first ‘period’ after miscarriage? Just trying to figure out whether this is what I should be thinking of it as 🙈

@bez91 since I know you’re sort of in the same time frame as me, has AF been normal enough for you?

@PumpkinEverything My first period after mc was lighter and shorter than usual. Dunno if that's any help. Since then it's been normal flow x

@PumpkinEverything what a bloody nightmare!

Mine hasn't been normal. Horrendous cramps NYE night and passed something I can only describe as 'weird', bit of spotting NYD then 2nd and 3rd the most horrendous heavy bleeding I've ever had which isn't normal for me. I had to set an alarm 3 times to wake up in the night to change it was that heavy 🤷‍♀️ then yesterday and today there's barely anything. So although I'm obviously 100% it's AF it's just been weird!

@CLSM I feel just the same as you - can't help but get my hopes up every single month. My AF is due on Fri and I feel I could be pregnant or could be PMSing. Xx

Definitely helpful @susiebluebell 😊 I wasn’t sure if some people experienced a much shorter and lighter one or if it was always really heavy first time.

@bez91 that sounds like a bit of a nightmare! Really good to know though (for me!) as it sounds like it’s been confusing for you too. Can’t believe you had to get up in the middle of the night 😳 sounds so horrible!

My first period was late after mc, I had loads of cramps and then eventually just woke up one morning and it was here, much heavier than usual.

I am defo ovulating earlier than usual. I had mc befor my DD and could never work out how she was conceived as we had been on hols and then come home and due to a family bereavment didn't dtd. Then amazingly a week later I was pg. I'm now thinking I must have ovulated early then.
I didn't track my cycle at all then as I only tried twice and got pregnant twice xx

Thanks everyone. Here is my 12 week scan, measuring 12+2!! Had my bloods done for screening👍 all is looking good. It was honestly such a relief, we even saw baby swallowing! Quite a few friends and family said my baby looks quite chunky 😂

@MSG92 ahh congratulations 😍

So pleased for you @MSG92 that’s a great scan photo!

@MSG92 was thinking of you today, that’s amazing! You must be so pleased x

Coongratulations! What a lovely scan photo

Thanks ❤️ @Mumof1ttc @PumpkinEverything @RS2609 @MrsF111

Huge congratulations @MSG92!!! What a lovely scan! Gives us all hope. X

@MSG92 OMG! What an amazing scan ❤ congratulations you must be over the moon xx

@MSG92 Congratulations! Must be such a lovely feeling. Enjoy the moment, lovely Mama to be 👶🏻🤰

@MSG92 fantastic news, congratulations again!

@RS2609 @HappyVibes Thanks for reply. Just hoping the fact I have no symptoms this time, despite quite obvious symptoms during miscarriage pregnancy, doesn't meant I'm out this month. Twinges have been mild but consistent since ovulation. I think I'd be at implantation stage now (if I am pregnant,) as period is due Sunday. Just not feeling pregnant this time, so have a feeling I'm not. I know I caught ovulation this time, so if I'm not, I dont understand how you get pregnant! When I did the last time, I thought I'd missed the 3 most vital days!? Assumed I'd be quite fertile after miscarriage, and since I'd managed no bother the first time. Overthinking now. I'm 35, so age plays on my mind a bit. Need to chill!

@MSG92 Congrats, what a great scan pic. Lovely. Have you been trying long? (I'm new here!)

@HereWeGoooo not long, about 6 months, hapenned after a couple of cycles which ended in a MC then its take 3 cycles since then.

Oh my gosh @MSG92 that gave me all the feels looking at your scan photo. So happy for you. I can’t imagine how much of a relief that must have been for you, congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy six months now lovely xxx

@HereWeGoooo it’s still so early on that’s it’s not at all surprising if you don’t have symptoms. I had none last time - I only knew I was pregnant as AF was late!
