Early pregnancy symptoms ttc post mc

[Ell17]

I had a miscarriage about 3.5 weeks ago ♥️ I ovulated last week and we decided to jump straight back into it. I'm now 6/7DPO.
Yesterday and today I'm experiencing a metallic sensation in my mouth, and excess saliva. I've never had this before. Today I had a pinky/brown tinge in my CM.
I'm just so worried because my last pregnancy began with spotting at 7DPO which went into one day of full bleeding and then I got my BFP at 13DPO. It kind of went down hill from there.
I've read metallic taste can be quite a reliable sign - has anyone else had this? Can people give me positive stories please 🤗

Hi

First of all sorry for your loss.

I had a mc on 29 March and am now 6 weeks pregnant again so no period in between. My first sign was a really strong metallic taste in my mouth but I only got that once. The main sign for me was tender boobs which have just got worse as time has passed.

Both times I have had cramps everyday however before the mc the cramps had stopped for a few days. At first I thought the cramps were the start of the miscarriage. However I have had them everyday since I found out this time and have learned that it's just everything moving and expanding.

Hoping this one sticks! 🤞 sending lots of luck your way too x

The spotting could be implantation. I think that's very normal for some people. I've not experienced it but I didn't last time either

Thank you @bages1977 and sorry for your loss also.
That makes sense about the cramping. I literally felt nothing before my loss. But then I didn't have symptoms with my first so didn't think anything of it until the bleeding.
I'm attaching this photo. Now call me crazy (I am because I tested so early) but I can see something. Aaahhhh

I do see a very faint line there. Did you test to make sure you're hcg was down after the mc? Just to make sure it's not from last time?

It does seem early to get a line so maybe see if it gets darker in a couple of days. I think I got my BFP at 9dpo but everyone is different!

Yes I tested completely negative on Fri, at 3DPO, 3 weeks post miscarriage.
I did this test on a whim, 3rd wee of the day after a large drink.
I'll have to see what tomorrow brings!! Trying not to get my hopes up. Thanks for your support

Well that's good then. At least you know lines from now on are fresh ☺️

Yeah keep me updated on how you get on!

Thanks @bages1977 I will ☺️

How are you getting on/feeling about being pregnant again post mc?
Were you far along before?

I know it's more likely I'll fall because of how fertile you should be after a mc but it's still scary af!

@Ell17 I was really scared at first and started thinking we should have waited a month but I think we just feel now that if its the right time it will be ok.

I was only 6 weeks later time so it was over quite quickly. I'm 6 weeks now with the current pregnancy so feeling very anxious atm. Got a scan a week on Sunday to try and ease the anxiety!

How far on were you? Hopefully these next ones will stick for us ❤️

@bages1977 I'm glad you've got a scan booked, a good milestone to look forward to. I hope it goes well.
I was 9 weeks and had a medically managed mc. I found out at 6 weeks but had to wait for the scans to stop progressing. It was a loooooooong wait.

Be good to keep in touch to see your scan results too ♥️🤞🏻

@Ell17 Aww bless you, that is a long time to wait.

Well I'm glad it's not just me who has tried again straight away, I know a lot of people tell you not to but the doctor said to me that there was no reason to wait until the month after as long as I was emotionally ready.

Yeah deffo keep in touch. Let me know how the testing goes over the next few days 🤞💕

Thanks @bages1977 ♥️

Yes I was only told not to have sex for the first two weeks due to risk of infection, and the only reason I could find to not try after that was because it's more difficult to work out the dates 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got a stark white negative this morning. Still early days; just have to see what happens to this spotting

@bages1977 AF showed early on Thurs and it's pretty much over all ready. It was pretty painful though, being the first one post mc. Happy to start afresh now ♥️
Good luck for your scan tomorrow!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Ell17 @Ell17 sorry to hear it wasn't to be this month but like you said, it will be nice to start fresh again and at least you won't have to worry if you should have left it a month in between!

My scan went ok, they said I was 5w and 6d and could see the gestational sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole yet. They said this is perfectly norma but can't help work that it won't develop. I'm back for another scan next Sunday so fingers crossed we can see the baby and a heartbeat!

@bages1977 oh that great news!! ♥️ There's so much waiting around/limbo in the early stages, you just want to get past a certain point and relax, I know how you feel. Fingers crossed for this Sunday - don't lose hope xxx

AF not over!! This is crazy. Started with spotting, then light flow, back to spotting for a day and now hell has opened 😭😭 very heavy. But not painful anymore luckily!! I'm on day 5 and it doesn't feel like it's stopping anytime soon. I guess it is my first period since mc.

@bages1977 how did your scan go?? ♥️

@Ell17 I went for the scan this Sunday and it was as still dated at 5+6 but there was a baby and a heartbeat. I'm a bit doubtful of the sonographer through as she measured me lass that 5 weeks until I told her that was impossible as I had a positive test 4 weeks ago. She scanned me again and said the measurement was as bigger that time and that it's 6 weeks. Feel like I need to be seen again but we'll see.

Are you back TTC again this cycle? Fingers crossed it works for you 🤞❤️

@bages1977 I would be feeling doubtful the same as you; that sonographer certainly wouldn't fill me with any confidence, especially after your loss. I'm sorry, and hope you get some more answers soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yeah I'm on CD11, actively seeking/testing for ovulation, no sign of it increasing yet but as we know it can change very quickly!

@Ell17 I had a call from the midwife today and she wants me to go for another scan so we can be more clear on dates. So that will be 05 June. Hopefully that will give me more clarity.

Should be coming up soon for you then 🤞 wishing you all the luck for this month!

@bages1977 Remembered your scan was today! How did you get on?? 🤞🏻♥️

I'm 7DPO currently 😬
