🦕 Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 7 🦕

[Annny27]

Hello ladies,

Time for a new thread for us dinosaurs and for any newbies that find themselves ttc after miscarriage ❤

Tagging those who I remember from top of my head and them will add the others in later 🥰

@EmiGoiko Yes, she said to take the whole dose in one go so I can take two 75mg tablets at once. She didn't tell me what time to take it but just said it's really important to have them with / just after a meal. I was told that I can buy low dose aspirin without a prescription and I guess it's probably cheaper for me to do it that way because I pay for my prescriptions. X

Well got an app through for my results with my rmc consultant for the 15th of September feels like ages away lol 💚

@H0peing I take two 75mg tablets every morning and have done since March when the consultant told me too. I just buy a couple of packets at a time from places like Savers or Home Bargains. Really hoping it works.

@Babyghirl 15th Sept is my Birthday so hopefully it will be a good day for you with your appointment and getting some answers

@ELM7
Maybe ur birthday will bring me some good luck 🍀

@Babyghirl hope it goes well on the 15th. Xx

@ELM7 That's good to know. Thanks. I think I'll start taking them with my breakfast everyday starting this weekend. X

Thanks all, will also start taking 150mg.

@Babyghirl glad you got your appointment. Fingers crossed it goes well.

@HOpeing
Thankyou can't wait to it comes but nervous to lol xx
@Emigoiko
Glad it came through so I can get my results and hoping we have a plan xx

I read up on aspirin When's the best time to take them and it says night time but when I was on another thread the girls on that said night is what there consultant says to them as I knw we r not taking them for heart attacks but most happen during the night so moat be when clots form when ur lying in bed girls xx

Good news about the appointment @Babyghirl!

Just had my ultrasound and she said everything looked fine and there's a dominant follicle on my right ovary but the left looks fine as well (said I always only feel like I ovulate on the right) so it's reassuring to know I am ovulating and working properly just got to wait for my repeat bloods to check prolactin now and then dh having his sperm analysis. Does anyone else feel that weird mix of relief that things are fine but also frustration that nothing is 'wrong' that can be fixed?!

@Babyghirl I've already taken today's dose with breakfast but I may try taking them after dinner tomorrow. My gynaecologist definitely recommended having them with a meal. I just find it easier to take all of my tablets in the morning because then if we happen to be out somewhere for dinner I don't have to worry about carrying them with me and keeping them at the right temperature etc (especially during any ocassional hot Summer days).

She definitely recommended taking the progesterone at night though and when I asked her if she recommended any particular 'hole' lol she said that 'back passage' was preferable. She recommended taking the progesterone pessary at night because then you are lying down. I have two per day after peak O so I told her that I was taking one 30 minutes before I get out of bed in the morning and one when I go to bed at night and she said that's fine. X

@kiwi17 Glad to hear that everything looked fine on your ultrasound!

Yes, it's always mixed feelings for me as well because I don't want them to find anything wrong with me but I also think that if there was something small that could be easily fixed then it would solve my problem! One of my recent blood tests was for prolactin levels but no results yet. X

@kiwi17 glad the scan went well, it does sound reassuring.

But I totally get what you and @H0peing mean. I had some basic blood tests done recently and everything came back normal and I felt disappointed. Its ridiculous of course, it's good everything is fine, but like you I was almost hoping there would be something with an easy fix and then I'd have reasons. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful nothing was found, but you know what I mean.

I got a letter today and have a scan booked for mid Sept checks. So that's good but seems like ages!

Thanks @EmiGoiko @H0peing! I know it's weird isn't it but you're right it's that desire to have something to fix rather than it just being really bad luck that it's not working. @EmiGoiko sounds like you're in a similar place with testing to me. Fingers crossed for you! The only plus side was she said I was ovulating soon so at least we have some kind of definite on that front 😂

@kiwi17 glad everything looks great on your scan, even though I know it's frustrating. I feel like I need to fast forward time or something through all this waiting.

All this talk of baby aspirin is making me think, might be something I look into if things don't progress in the next few months.

How you feeling @H0peing

Hi all, I am new to this chat. I am also ttc after a miscarriage. I lost my pregnancy a couple of months ago, I was 3 months pregnant, it was awful. I’m 40 so maybe age was a factor, I would never know. Ttc again has helped a lot although not success yet and like many of you here after my mc I am having a lot of cramping (took 6 weeks for AF to arrive again after mc). Now I am getting worried about the Covid situation. I haven’t had my vaccine yet as when I was about to get it fell pregnant so wanted to wait until 2nd trimester, and now I am hesitating wether having it would add more stress to my body and prevent me from getting pregnant. Anyone stressed about all this covid situation or knowing any positive pregnancy stories after the jab? Many thanks in advance

Welcome @Kruge21 sorry for your loss. You will find we are a nice bunch here, very supportive.
In terms of your covid jab situation I can't comment much on how it would affect your cycle. I had my second jab on 17th March, AF came right on time on 22nd and thats the month I conceived. Albeit it didn't stick but didn't alter any timings fore at all

Thank you @PeanuttyButter. I’m sorry it didn’t stick, but definitely a positive sign you managed to conceive. I hope it works out for you the next time. Would you mind sharing if you had Pfizer or AZ?

@Kruge21 I had Pfizer. I had my first dose in January and got covid in January too if that helps at all.

Thank you @PeanuttyButter, it does!
I have to say this community is amazing. The first days after my mc I came here to read other women experiences and it helped a lot. Ttc after a miscarriage is quite daunting as to the usual expectation to get pregnant joins the hope that it will stick this time around. Covid definitely hasn’t made this easier, as if we didn’t have enough to worry about! But it is such a blessing to be able to share our experiences here and hopefully future pregnancies!

@Kruge21 welcome! Sorry for your loss. It's a rubbish situation and you're right it just adds more stress to the whole ttc. I had my jab in may (mc was in march) and my second jab in June and haven't noticed anything different in terms of my cycles, still not had a bfp yet but doubt that is the reason! I know some ladies have reported problems with their cycles after the jabs but I didn't have that issue and I had Pfizer.

Welcome to the group @Kruge21, sorry for your loss. Im 36 and had a MC in jan @ 10 weeks, so decided to just have the vaccine. Had my 2nd jab in April and conceived in May so I can’t imagine it impacted my fertility, I didn’t notice a difference in my cycles either. I also had the Pfizer

@kiwi17 glad everything so far has come back normal, but I bet it is frustrating also

@Kruge21 Welcome! Sorry for your loss. I haven't had the vaccine yet either. I tried to book my vaccine earlier this year. I think it was in April and I was told by both my GP and the vaccine booking line at the time that they wouldn't book me for the vaccine due to safeguarding issues because I was TTC and could be pregnant. The general guidance seems to have changed now but throughout all of my recent scans, DR / gynaecologist appointments etc no-one has recommended that I have it immediately so I am planning to wait until after I have a successful pregnancy in the future. I guess it affects people differently. Some people have had delayed and / or painful periods for the first time after their jab but many others haven't and I know lots of people who have had it and seem to be fine but I don't think it's right for me at the moment. It's everyone's personal choice. X
