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 :)

Thanks @bez91 @bubblybrit and @M4v3r1ck . I know I'm probably over thinking. I'm on furlough still and looking after my son. So have a lot of time to obsess! I keep thinking I hope I'm pregnant before their babies are all born but I'm starting to think this may not happen. I'm trying to keep busy and not dwell but it's definitely easier said than done!!

Definitely agree mc's are all different. My 2 were different to each other as well. Both were mmc's so my body didn't realise and I continued to have pregnancy symptoms. I had Surgical management for both. However the first time my body started before my op date but I still needed the op to clear things. Second time I found out at an early scan, after a previous scan showing a heartbeat but a week or so smaller than it should have been. I'm so desperate to get pregnant but also terrified or another mmc.

@bez91 @bubblybrit and @M4v3r1ck I'm really sorry for your losses as well. X

It’s normal to over think @Pancakes7. I know I’ll still have the same fears if I don’t fall pregnant again quickly. I’m almost 37 and really worried that a second baby won’t happen for us. We also had a MMC that we only found out about when we booked in for a private scan to carry out the harmony test. So don’t think I’ll fully relax even if I do get pregnant again.

@bubblybrit So after my first mmc, when I was pregnant with my son. I was a mess of nerves. I was crying as I went into my early scan. I did relax more after my 12 week scan. But I had many days of panic thinking he hadn't moved and going in to be checked. It's sad but you don't enjoy pregnancy the same way after a loss. I hate that it's taken the joy away for me. Although in the long run it's all totally worth it. I really hope we both get our BFP's that stick soon 🤞🏻

Yes I think I may be the same when I (hopefully) fall pregnant again @Pancakes7. Fingers crossed for a little sticky bean for all of us 🤞x

I have just had a tiny bit of brown spotting at 9dpo? Could this be implantation bleeding 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 and I still have one very sore boob lol

@Pancakes7 sorry for your loss. Try not to worry too much, as the others have said 6 months isn't long at all, but I know its easier said than done. We all worry in some way or another with ttc and pregnancy, even more so after a loss/losses. Its hard but fingers crossed for all of us this year xx

@M4v3r1ck happy everything was clear for you and ok!!! Thats good to know about the easy@home tests, thats what I've been using and getting a very very very light positive now but they have definitely gone lighter.

@elsimo fingers crossed for you!!! Sending lots of luck your way! When might you test?

Thank you ladies!!! 😘😘😘 We should set up a website called crazy MC bodies so people can go there instead of all the awful Google hits, and be reassured! 😂

@bubblybrit hope your takeaway was good! Mine was fab and I have leftovers for lunch! 😈😈😈 Also I'm 36 and TTC#1, it's our biological age that's important here not chronological! You should join the TTC 35+ group - it's fab! 😘

@Runnergirl1 fab pic!!! 😍😍😍

Happy Saturday ladies! Hope you've a lovely weekend planned!!! 😃😃😃

@NatJ24 thanks well I was thinking tommorow but if thats just implantation today then better to probably wait a couple of days? Xx

Am I going crazy with line eyes or can anyone see anything?

Ah yes @Runnergirl1 amazing pic 😍 so exciting for you

@elsimo yeah maybe if you can hold out a few days to be sure. Good luck 🙏

@Mumof1ttc I do see a line there faintly! Fingers crossed for you 🤞

I’ve just been catching up on everything - I always forget how fast this thread moves! I have been taking a step back (I’ve been on here since Feb last year so it’s been a while and I do this from time to time lol!)

Congratulations to all the bfp’s! And all my positive thoughts to those still waiting!

I’ll be taking even more of a step back for the time being - I have got my 3rd bfp which I am genuinely excited about (the first 2 I could never shake this feeling that something might go wrong!) but I’m also equal parts anxious! This group is so lovely and supportive, and I hope I have been able to help others along the way too!

For anyone symptom spotting - I genuinely felt nothing this month 😂 previously I have had really sore boobs, lightheadedness - nothing this month - except that I cried at a few soppy tv and film moments (normally I’m pretty unweepy unless it’s really really sad!)

@elsimo I’m usually a wait until AF is due to test - but this month I caved and did an early test 9dpo and got a bfn!! 3 days later it’s a bfp - there’s definitely still time :)

Hi ladies,

I’m currently 4wk 4days...does anybody please have any advice or helpful words....I have just this morning experienced bleeding - I would describe it as a light red/pink colour, and there only when I have wiped, not like period.

EPU is closed for the weekend so I can’t call them which was my first thought.

Any advice / experience would be greatly appreciated ladies as I am currently thinking the worst given our history 😢 xxxxx

@Mumof1ttc I definitely see a line lovely, and exactly what mine looked like the first day I tested & then we tested every other day thereafter & saw amazing progression. Good luck lovely and congratulations 💓💓💓

@Bellabubble that’s amazing lovely - congratulations just read your message. So happy for you. 💓💓💓

@Mumof1ttc I definitely see a shadow of a line. How many DPO?

@Bellabubble huge congratulations!!! fingers crossed for you

@HappyVibes this can be totally normal as the embryo further develops into the uterine wall and as the placenta starts to develop. I understand your concern and would also talk to EPU but if it stays with just that much and also doesnt worsen then it could be totally fine. Wishing you all the best xx

@TheDaydreamBelievers you absolute star, that’s given me so much reassurance lovely, thank you millions. Think I will wait and see how it goes over the rest of the weekend and then potentially ring EPU Monday / GP for bloods. Fingers crossed xxxx

@HappyVibes I am currently 8 weeks and at 5 weeks I had pink/brown on the tissue after using the toilet for around 24 hours. I was distraught thinking it was the start of another mc and my resting heart rate started dramatically dropping (as it did with the prior mc). A few days later I had covid and I pretty much gave up on carrying the baby and it being healthy as all of the odds were stacking against me. Fast forward to this week and I saw a little heart beat on a private scan. Obviously still early days and anything could happen yet but hopefully everything is ok for you too 🤞🏻❤️

Oh @SS123456 I think I remember you posting about it. So glad everything is okay for you. I’m booked in for an early scan two weeks today already. Shall see how I get on over the rest of the weekend and hopefully it’s just developments from baby and changes in my cervix. Thank you millions, this reply has given me so much hope xxxxxxxx

@HappyVibes like a few others have said try not to get carried away with worry! Sending you hugs.

@Bellabubble fantastic news, congratulations 🎉

Takeaway was fab @M4v3r1ck. My ‘D’H decided to eat my leftovers as a midnight snack last night. I was so annoyed when I woke up this morning 😂 oh I’ll have a peek at that group thanks!
