Ahhh bugger sorry @SuzieDeLaTour onwards to a lovely new cycle full of hope!

I'm CD4 and (sorry for the tmi) my period is now just only when I wipe. When I wiped earlier it was mixed with loads of EWCM. Very odd, never had it this early. In fact, I hardly ever get it at all. So either my body is about to really piss me off and ovulate stupid early or it's gearing up super early for 10 days time 🤷‍♀️ I'm not sure I'd even go for if it was silly early given the risk of the egg not being fully developed and therefore being high miscarriage risk would be too much I think!

@SuzieDeLaTour they did a bit thank you! I have friends who have had the same in early pregnancy and all was fine but it's just so hard to stay positive when all I've had is loss so far!

I think in 24/48hrs providing there is no more I'll feel a lot better!

Ah sorry that AF arrived! Hopefully she is over quickly and isn't a messy one! That made me giggle at my work! 😂😂😂

DMT1982 · 22/03/2021 20:09

Hey girls. Thanks for creating another thread @AMS19.

@Pettylamby that’s great you spoke to someone lovely from EPU as I know a few people have had mixed experiences with initial phone calls to EPU. Stay positive and the 1st April will be here soon, not long now xxx

Cienega · 22/03/2021 20:25

Thank you @AMS19 for the new thread x
Thank you all for the reassurance. Nothing may happen as its still very early to conceive post mc but now that I know Its a possibility I'll be like a mad woman checking for signs for the next couple of weeks!
For now things do seem to be settling in other ways, the spotting has suddenly cleared up and now all I have is a very very light tinge of orange/pink in my cm and a lot less cm today than yesterday.

Sleeeeeepy · 22/03/2021 20:29

Hi ladies can I jump on?

I'm having my first AF since MMC early Jan at what would have been 11 weeks, then repeated medical management which didn't work very well.

Feeling positive now though, I had a CP so must be ovulating, and although my LH was really high for weeks it's now very low as it should be. Fingers crossed for a normal cycle and hopefully something that sticks!

DMT1982 · 22/03/2021 20:42

@Sleeeeeepy of course you can, all are welcome.
You sound very positive after everything you’ve been through which is great. Hoping your cycle gets back on track and you have a sticky bean soon xx

Sleeeeeepy · 22/03/2021 21:52

Thanks @DMT1982 It was just such a slog getting back to something like normality I'll take the small wins. I'm hoping this is a lucky thread for all of us xx

glowingtwig · 22/03/2021 22:13

@Pettylamby photos are being weird but what it says is 'the majority of women who experience bleeding in early pregnancy go on to have a normal pregnancy'. Then advises a scan for peace of mind.

I hope it has all settled now.

Neady1980 · 22/03/2021 22:52

Thanks @AMS19 for new thread. Just catching up.
@Pettylamby I'm sure everything will be fine and it's just implantation.
I'm cd9 and honestly I've never felt as good. My MC was the end of January and never thought I'd be back to exercising and enjoying life again. I'm having a more relaxed approach this month and honestly myself and the OH are actually enjoying enjoying the closeness again.
Hope everyone is keeping well

DMT1982 · 23/03/2021 07:31

@Sleeeeeepy this is a very lucky thread full of lovely ladies xx

cupcakesandglitter · 23/03/2021 07:40

Thanks for the new thread @AMS19 I had some EWCM with mine too on the last day... but that was it, so not sure what it was. Could it just be random?

@PlantMummy87 fantastic progression, keeping everything crossed for you x

@KJLM I'm the same, I'd be induced early and only have a small slot to conceive in time for this year now ☹️

My hormones still haven't settled and I keep getting irrationally sad and angry at myself - all of my OPKs have been positive/almost positive, so my hormones are still whacko. I just want to ovulate and go again and keep looking forward, but it's so hard to when I just don't know what I'm doing ☹️

angc30 · 23/03/2021 07:44

Hey all! I've been keeping my eye on the old thread just waiting for AF to come so we can start again. So happy to see some good news and heartbroken for the bad news. Can I ask for a favour get your eyes for a sec?

I'm in the opposite of a tww but still a tww 🤢. EPU told me to test in fortnight to make sure I get a negative hcg test. That was this morning. Would you say this is positive? They said to ring if it's still positive, should be ringing them?

So flipping frustrating because I know if this was post 1st AF I'd be over the moon and think it was a good sign.

AMS19 · 23/03/2021 08:58

Morning @angc30 really sorry lovely but to me thats definitely positive. I'd give them a call. My hcg took around 7 weeks to get to less than 1, but I was 11+1 when I had my mva xx

OP posts:
AMS19 · 23/03/2021 08:59

@cupcakesandglitter I had some more today! And definitely feeling very horny. My body needs to calm the hell down, splash its face with cold water and wait patiently 🙄

OP posts:
cupcakesandglitter · 23/03/2021 09:05

Oh that's a good sign I guess @AMS19 what's your plan? Sorry I'm not up to speed properly yet - are you TTC this cycle?

Sleeeeeepy · 23/03/2021 09:15

Sorry @angc30 but that is still positive to me. Mine went down to something like that but I still needed another round of management. I'd recommend getting in touch with them ASAP, I hope it goes OK x

yepstilltrying · 23/03/2021 09:18

@angc30 Definitely get in touch with them. I had that after my MC and after two rounds of medical management. They fobbed me off for a about three months until I pushed for a blood test and D&C and then they said they had found something that was still stuck in there. It went straight negative after that. So I'd def call.

glowingtwig · 23/03/2021 09:19

Hi ladies,

It's not looking like good news over here I'm afraid. The GP called with the third set of HCG results and over 4 days it's only gone up by 600. So definitely not a good enough rise and looking like an 'unviable' pregnancy, even though my progesterone was good on the last one. She said she has seen a few which have ended up ok after this sort of thing but I don't think it's likely.

So now I have to have a scan in a few days when I'll be 6 weeks to see what that shows and then probably an ERPC so they can at least send the tissue off for testing to give me more of a picture to take to Prpf Regan when I next see her.

But at the moment I'm just sitting in my work's office and I'm heartbroken. I really thought it might be ok this time. 💔

SuzieDeLaTour · 23/03/2021 09:31

@glowingtwig oh my darling girl I’m so sorry to hear this. I feel heartbroken for you just reading your words. I really pray that you will fall into the group your doctor said - those who go on to be ok ❤️ When is your scan? Can you take some time off work? I think we all wish we could just give you the biggest hug xxx

Seasalt1984 · 23/03/2021 09:36

@glowingtwig I'm so sorry you've had this news this morning, my heart really goes to you. Will keep fingers crossed early scan may show something different. We'll all be here for you xxx

KJLM · 23/03/2021 09:40

@glowingtwig sending lots of love and hugs. Like @SuzieDeLaTour says I hope you’re in the group that it goes on to be ok. Please be kind to yourself and take some time to relax if you can or maybe even some walks to clear the head as these periods of time where you have to wait are just so overwhelming on your body and mind xxx

AMS19 · 23/03/2021 09:57

@cupcakesandglitter yeah I've been trying since January 🙄 this is my 4th cycle post MVA

@glowingtwig oh sweetheart ❤❤ I'm so sorry. I'm keeping everything firmly crossed for you. Come on little one, keep fighting. I'm sorry you're probably feeling terrible. If there is anything any of us can do please let me know. Sending so much love xx

@glowingtwig oh I'm so sorry to hear that, really hope it goes on to be ok x

Quinn26 · 23/03/2021 11:27

@glowingtwig I'm sorry to hear that :( I really have my fingers crossed for you that you are in the lucky group x

PlantMummy87 · 23/03/2021 11:38

@glowingtwig I'm so sorry to hear that. Have everything crossed for you lovely. Sending you so much love xxx

@angc30 sorry as @AMS19 said I think that is still a positive. Definitely phone up EPU. It took me 7 weeks to get negatives on sensitive tests. Do you know the sensitivity of the test you took? Really hoping it isn't as long for you x

@SuzieDeLaTour I'm sorry to hear AF got you. Hoping that this is the lucky cycle for you lovely💕

Thanks for the comments on line progression for me. Starting to feel like it is all real, especially as my symptoms have definitely ramped up today. The brain fog for me is unreal right now so I'm sorry if my responses don't always make sense.
