TTC After Chemical Pregnancy/Early MC 2

[Mishmased]

Hi everyone just a continuation of @Littlebee1990 thread. It has helped me so much by giving me a platform to express myself and I hope it helps others as well. @Littlebee1990 I hope you are well and don't mind me continuing on.x

Hi Ladies, I'm so overwhelmed by the support I've had off you all, thank you so much ❤..

Obviously had that injection Friday, then you have to go back on the 4th and 7th day for bloods to make sure your levels are going down, well today I went for my first blood test, the lady said that this one is for a baseline so we won't be ringing with the results but then Friday (7th day) we will ring and give you the results etc..

Well I definitely wasn't expecting a phone call off the EPU after my bloods today 😔..they rang to say that they would expect people that have the injection for there bloods to go up a bit but then go down by the 7th day but mine have doubled to 4502 and they need to get me back in first thing tomorrow morning for a scan..

If feels like I'm living an absolute nightmare, I have so many questions as to why!! What if they scan me tomorrow and actually see a fetus!? What if they actually missed it on the scan last week?!

Oh gosh @Boo2020 what an absolute nightmare for you 😞 will be thinking of you and let us know how you get on. Very strange it’s risen so high though, hopefully they can review with you tomorrow.

@Boo2020 I don't know what to say. Hopefully you'll get some answers tomorrow. Will be thinking of you ❤️

@LS2020Glad to hear you're on the road for IVF so delighted for you. Hopefully this is the beginning of great news.
Thanks so much for your post, yes we're at the end now ❤️

Hi Ladies, sorry not got back yesterday, I had another scan yesterday morning and again they couldn't see anything so they said they want to wait till Friday to see what my bloods come back with. Yesterday afternoon (long story short) I got rushed in hospital in excruciating pain, hooked me up to morfine, had a few tests etc... i got out early hours of this morning, good thing is they tested me again with my bloods and it had gone down by 500, also had a bit of bleeding, im hoping now this is the start and by tomorrow morning my bloods will have gone down even more and I won't need a second injection, I've been given some strong pain killers but I've never been so scared in all my life and neither as my partner, he never crys but yesterday when I got rushed up he was beside himself, think he just felt so helpless and both scared that would need to be rushed in for surgery 😢 xx

Oh @Boo2020 I'm so sorry to hear all this! You and your poor partner! It sounds terribly scary. I hope things start getting better from here.xxx

How terrifying @Boo2020! Glad to hear you’re home now and hope you’re resting up. Take lots of care of yourself ❤️

Hi Ladies, well yesterday I went for my bloods again and they have gone down by more than 15% which is the best news ever, I don't need a second injection and I can start trying again at the end of August! I am feeling much better today, I've eased myself off Codine (they give me for the pain) it was giving me really painful trapped wind in my stomach, I still feel a bit tender but the good thing is I can enjoy a glass of wine (couldn't drink for 7 days after the injection) I am now just looking forward to my Cornwall holiday with friends and family in July (and at least I can enjoy having a few cocktails 😀)..

I really can't believe the horrific ride I've been on but I am not giving up 🌈

@Boo2020 that's very positive news given what you've been through. I'm delighted to hear you're hopefully on the mend. Make sure you enjoy your holiday you've more than earned it. Have a drink for me as well 😊 and make sure to rest loads.x

@Boo2020 glad you’ve had some more positive news and there is a niceness to knowing you’ve got that break. I’ve had the worst luck with holidays, spent so much money on all inclusives to then be pregnant on, not drink and then have an mc and I’ve got another one in October and just know my IVF is going to be before and I won’t be able to drink on that 😂

Did doctors give any advice on if this happens again and if they can provide any other treatment?

@LS2020 that's all what seems to happen to me everytime I'm pregnant 😔..

I've also had to go back on codeine as the pain is excruciating! Yes the doctors will investigate if I happens again but to he honest will will also look at going down the IVF route also xx

@Boo2020 how’s the pain going?

Well good news from my side is that doctor has referred me for IVF so it’s all getting started!

@LS2020 that's fantastic news !! Is the IVF through the NHS? I have got a 12 year old boy already so was told I would have to go private if I wanted to go down that route..

Every time I think the pain is subsiding it comes back more painful, been off work now just over 2 weeks, hoping to get back in next week xx

@Boo2020 yeah it’s through the NHS thankfully. I think it’s so unfair that it’s only applicable for first child, I don’t see why we can’t offer one round for second.

Oh love :( can they refer you for any more treatment?

Got a nurses consultation booked in on the 2nd July :)

@Mishmased @Littlebee1990 hope your little ones made it safely into the world and you’re enjoying your newborn bubbles ❤️

@LS2020 Reuben is 6 weeks old tomorrow! He’s an absolute treasure and I just can’t believe how much I love him. Had first smiles today, magic!

How are you? X

@Littlebee1990 so glad to hear you’re doing well but can’t believe you have a 6 week old! Time really does fly 🥰

I’m good thank you, not a lot of news from me. Hopefully getting started with IVF next month so praying it won’t be too much longer til I get my BFP!

Hi @LS2020 my apologies for not replying sooner. We had a couple of bereavements in April and May so it has been quite hectic.

Our little girl was born the end of May and she's doing very well, she was 6 weeks yesterday. Her brothers are so delighted with her and things are going well.
I'm so glad to hear you're on track with IVF that is super news. How did your appointment with the nurse go?
I'm trying to catch up on all the posts.

@Littlebee1990 congrats on your baby boy! I'm delighted to hear things are going well❤️

@Boo2020 how are you, hope you're on the mend. Hope you have a great time in Cornwall.x

@Mishmased please don’t apologise you’ve got a little newborn to be concerned with! Glad you’re all doing well 🥰

Nurse appointment went fab thank you and expected to start in early august! If all goes well I will have a little May baby too.

@LS2020 glad your appt went well. Fingers crossed for you in August.. ohh a possible May baby 😊 Do keep us posted, I'm so excited for you!

Hi all 👋

I’m gonna join this thread if that’s ok, though not sure if it's still active.

So sorry for everyone's losses but thank you so much for sharing your experiences on this and the previous thread. I can’t tell you how much they have helped me in the past week! ❤️

@Boo2020 so sorry to hear about your recent experience.

Lovely to hear about the recent births @Littlebee1990 @Mishmased

My miscarriage started last Monday when I was 5+3. I was on holiday and started bleeding when I went to the toilet. Had a scan on Friday and they confirmed they couldn’t see anything, got my blood taken and going back in tomorrow to get them taken again. I was/am so devastated, much more than I thought I would be. I knew the odds and had been trying to protect myself I guess reminding myself how early it was but I got attached to the little miracle I thought was growing inside me. My partner is less affected thankfully. But every time I go to the toilet and see the blood my heart breaks. Brown sludge stage now so hopefully it will be over soon!

We were quite surprised by our BFP, it is our first and it happened our first cycle. We had planned to start ttc after our wedding in late September but I found out I had PCOS in early May. This news and the fact I am nearly 34 freaked me out a bit. So we thought we would stop using contraception before the wedding and see what happened!

Now I am unsure what to do, my partner thinks it might be best to wait until after the wedding now to try again but will support if I want to carry on. I think he is worried we will miscarriage again around the day of the wedding or our honeymoon. I totally see his logic but I’m not sure I can wait, I feel like carrying on with ttc might help me heal. It’s hard to know what is best.

Hi @cocoforbes so sorry to hear your story. Hope you're not in too much pain and you guys are supporting each other. It is a most shockingly painful process to go through and I'm so sad when I hear other people going through it. Regarding getting pregnant again there is no right or wrong way, you have to do whatever you feel comfortable with. There is always a chance of a miscarriage but the odds of going full term with a pregnancy is much higher. I got pregnant a month after my first period post miscarriage but everyone is different. Always remember that the odds are in your favour.
So glad to hear you've got a wedding coming up. That's something to look forward to. Feel free to post here, there's always someone here.
Make sure you get loads of rest, deal with your grief as best as you can. It will get better.x

@cocoforbes thank you, its been hard but I can start trying again at the end of August!

I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage 😔 its not easy and it's very hard some days, but do what feels right for you, if it was me I would trying straight away but on this occasion because I had to have a injection I can't try for 3 months (end of august) best wishes on your wedding day xx

@Mishmased thank you, I am ok and literally just waiting for my period to start back (since the injection) ..not long till I can start trying again and just under 2 weeks till Cornwall 😊 xx

Hi @cocoforbes so sorry to hear about your mc. Brought back a lot of memories of mine and it’s such a difficult time - please take care of yourself. There is no right or wrong time really, do what feels right for you and your body. As awful as the outcome is, conceiving on your first cycle is a good sign that all the right things are happening - it took 14 months for me to just get to BFP before my mc but I actually found it relieving that we weren’t totally infertile!

@Boo2020 hope you’re looking forward to your holiday! I’m off this week and weather is glorious. All fine on my IVF tests so hopefully should start on the 4th 🤞🏻
