@H0peing that sounds promising!

@PeanuttyButter I'm far from being an expert but it seems like a healthy level to me. Thankfully, you've got your scan tomorrow. Xx

Hi all, mind if I join you?

Currently mid-miscarriage conceived after 7 months. We are TTC #2 but with a complex history. Two MCs and a stroke subsequent to a DVT before we had our little girl (though she was a text book pregnancy, born full term, & is happy little 2.5 year old now). The three previous pregnancies happened v quickly (1-2 months of actively trying for each so 7 months for this one came as a bit of a shock but I'm 37 and OH is 44 so maybe the age factor?) I've lost this one v early at about 4.5 weeks.

Wondered if anyone else has had a mix of healthy pregnancies and MCs and whether any treatment has been advised? Eg progesterone? Or is it just a waiting game do you think? Clinging to any hope I can find as pretty distraught at the moment.

@H0peing
I was 196 at 13dpo and then 559 48hrs later.
And then 19000 at 21dpo (did a random blood test as i was worried :/)
Sounds promising for you! 🌈

Keeping everything crossed for you that it's a healthy and full pregnancy! It's lovely to see some good news, keep us posted @H0peing !!

I have no idea what dpo I am, I think about 12 if the opks were to be trusted, and I'm having some pregnancy symptoms but I think it's all in my head (extra saliva, period cramps but some in lower stomach, a sure sign for me last time and lack of appetite) but boobs are completely pain free. So I'm just hoping I get my period this weekend, or something to know my cycles are getting back to normal! Very frustrating 😔

@ElsieG3m
There's a few on the thread that have had babies and miscarriages after hopefully they will pop along to talk to you. I have only had 4 miscarriages and 1 cp so I'm getting progesterone on my nxt bfp to c if that helps hold on to it so sorry for your losses tlk away on here nothing is ever tmi 💚

@Babyghirl thank you so much. I'm so sorry for your losses also and I really hope that the progesterone helps you this time 🤞🏻💛 have you had all of the clotting investigations? Mine revealed nothing but I have low protein s during pregnancy (not outside pregnancy) which makes me "clotty" so I take 75mg aspirin and add heparin if I become pregnant xx

Well my luck changed this morning girls got an email from curry's pc World I put my name in for the vip PlayStation 5 bundle months ago but was not successful but got and email this morning and I'm successful this time around yeha my man sorted for Christmas get in there on cloud 9 this morning 😁😁😁😁 and his other PlayStation blew up a few weeks back to lol x

@ElsieGm3 we have dd who is 3 and took about 9 months ttc but was a straightforward pregnancy but I had a mc at 10 weeks in march after 3 months of ttc #2 and since then have had no bfps. Trying to not think about secondary infertility but it's looking more and more likely that might be the case. It's just the worst we have ever felt and seems so wrong that the first time round was relatively simple and this time it's just not going to happen. If you've had several mc have you been referred to rmc team? Not sure about the age thing although I know it's a big factor - I'm 31 and dh is 30 so at least for us i don't think that's an issue yet. Feel free to ask questions on here everyone is very helpful.

Period just arrived 💩

So sorry for being shit on here but I am just bored of it all haha. I know my cycle inside out , it's the same every month I convince myself I am pregnant and then get disappointed when she arrives.

Manager to perk myself up for ovulation week and then it's back to depression 💩💩

@Annny27 sorry AF came, be kind to yourself xx

Had my early scan. It's a singleton pregnancy at 5 weeks and it's in the correct place, no ectopic which I was worried about. Obviously no heartbeat as it's too early but got a repeat scan in just over 2 weeks so all being well will be 7.5 ISH at that point. Feel like I can relax for the next day or two but then will be back to stressing. I just hate that my MMC has made me like this. I can't be positive or enjoy it yet it's all I think about!!

@PeanuttyButter glad to hear everything is fine so far!! Just try to focus on the facts that the chances of everything turning out fine is a lot higher than not.

@Annny27 so sorry :(

@kiwi17 I'm sorry for your loss. Awful as it is to say and hear 1 or even 2 miscarriages are so common. In fact, I don't know how many women with several children I know that didn't have 1 miscarriage before or between. Im sure you will be absolutely fine. You have lots of time and since your first pregnancy took 9 months to conceive perhaps you just need a little longer post you MC for optimal conditions. You have had a baby and carried to term. I had many tests done after my second mc and stroke but nothing found just the low protein s. The doctors keep reassuring me about age and saying many women are still having babies at 37-39 but I'm still scared. I know it can take longer as you get older but my sister just had her second at 39 nearly 40 and friends all around me are giving birth at 40. I just fear the worst for me and oh but then I'm very down at the moment and just really looking for someone to tell me it's all going to be ok (which obviously no one really can!).

I took a cheapy test this morning and again it came out with nothing, but I was convincing myself I was seeing a line. It was my last one, so I went to boots this lunch because my appetite has gone, no sign of AF and something's just been off.
I'm not going crazy right? There's a line there isn't there? Husband's on a work call and I don't have anyone else to speak to about it and I'm now freaking out!

@anoki congratulations!! 🥳 how long have you been TTC since your mc?

Congratulations @anoki

Thank you!! Honestly, I haven't even had a period yet.. I was tracking ovulation to see when my period would come, and my husband passed an exam and we had some prosecco and dtd that evening.. once over what I assumed was my fertile period. I really didn't think it would catch. I have a Drs appointment tomorrow afternoon (oddly already booked) as I'm trying not to get my hopes up in case it doesn't turn into anything, not getting excited until it's medically confirmed, but thank you so much.
How long have you been trying?

@anoki congratulations that's a good line. How many dpo are you do you think?

@anoki it's a great line for 12dpo! Keeping everything crossed for you and there's every reason to be positive about it. I'm still miscarrying atm. We had tried 7 months for this prior to BFP. We're trying for our 2nd little one x

Thanks @PeanuttyButter it's nice to hear it's a good line! I think maybe 12? Unless I ovulated a day or 2 later than I thought. I'm not 100% to be honest but I've got a clear blue that I'm going to take next week to see if it says 2-3

@ElsieG3m oh I'm so sorry to hear that, I apologise if you did say it further up the thread and I missed it. I'm so so sorry for your loss ❤️ I hope things move swiftly for you so you can begin trying again x

@ElsieGm3 I know you're right and it probably will happen at some point but it's just so hard to believe that when you're in the middle of it isn't it?

@Annny27 I feel the exact same way- such a stupid cycle of misery cd1-5, hope and excitement 5-20, and then mysterious symptoms that must be pg 20-26 and then I always start spotting and am gutted when it's not ib cue reset and off we go again. I'm so fed up of the emotional drain on myself and dh too. Hope you're doing ok x

@kiwi17 it's almost impossible. I'm supposed to be concentrating on work call and my head is all I've the place. For most people this is just, have sex, get pregnant, grow and birth a baby. For me it's, OPKs, lines, tests, doubling numbers, symptoms and dread. It all feels so out of reach. Weirdly this month (when we conceived), I reached a really calm state where I sort of thought something might happen but also felt ok if it didn't. I found peace. Maybe it made a difference - you never know x

Evening all, nice to see little glimmers of happy news on here.
My Dr called this evening to ask how I was after an early mc at the start of the month and to let me know I have been referred and to wait for my appointment by post. What can I expect from the investigations? Can I ask for specific test? Being in here and reading so much about mc I feel like have alot of questions.
Any heads up from someone who has been through it would be helpful. Xox
