Last thread is full!

They've said it could be a chemical or could still be ectopic but it's too early to tell so they're just going to keep monitoring me for now. I don't feel sick anymore so hoping it's going to pass naturally

So sorry @polkadotpixie :(

hoping things go a smoothly as poss for you @polkadotpixie

Really sorry to hear that @polkadotpixie :(

Sending you big hugs @polkadotpixie

Thanks everyone 🥰 Just got my 3rd set of bloods and they’ve dropped to 59 (previously 46 then 67) so the nurse says that suggests it’s a miscarriage rather than ectopic and I should start bleeding in the next few days. I’ve got to go back next Thursday and have more bloods to check they’ve dropped further and I can call them and go in if I have any problems in between

@polkadotpixie I'm glad they're keeping an eye on things and it doesn't sound like an ectopic .

Hi all, how are you all getting on?

I'm 10dpo today and my temp was still high this morning but I've just had brown spotting in my knickers 😩 I'm so gutted!!! I expect to start AF tomorrow.

Feeling so emotional with it all, it's so emotionally draining.

If I come on tomorrow it means this will be yet another short cycle of 23 days!!

Sorry for the rant, TTC is soooo hard, and I defo can't face going to my friends baby shower tomorrow feeling the way I do at minute 😢

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter I actually got a bfp on the evening of 8dpo (Tuesday) but didn't really count it until Wednesday at 9dpo as it was so so faint! Typically I am already worrying about line progression at only 12dpo due to the miscarriage last cycle. My wondfos seem to be progressing okay but my frers these last couple of days have stalled a bit, which sends me into a panic! I am just obsessing over it every hour of the day 😟 my husband thinks I'm crazy.

Could your spotting not be implantation spotting? It's about the right time for that isn't it? Fingers crossed that's what you're seeing 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼.

@polkadotpixie I know it's a horrible situation but so glad to hear they think it's a miscarriage rather than ectopic - that was my biggest fear during my previous cycle when I miscarried. Sending you hugs !

That's amazing news @Thisriveriswild congratulations. I completely understand the worry though, early days are so worrying!

No, it's defo my period on its way as I get spotting the day before my period every month 😩 I also reckon my temp will dip in the morning to confirm as well... on to the next cycle

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter did your temp dip? If so, hoping the next cycle is better for you 🤞🏼. I've never known stress like TTC!

@Thisriveriswild yes, temp dip this morning, spotting is lighter today than yesterday but I always get spotting one or two days before AF so will expect her to show up tomorrow in full force 😒

I live my life cycle to cycle and it's so draining. I'm so desperate for my rainbow baby 🌈 To be honest with you we feel like we're giving it a good go every month but are just counting down the months until we can be referred for investigations. I don't know why, but I feel like we're not going to fall again any time soon - I'm struggling to shake the negative mindset 🙈 I feel like such a negative Nancy at the minute 😂

Ooops forgot to add my chart!

Congratulations @Thisriveriswild !!
I'm so happy the post-mc fact was true for you!

I'm on my first official cycle after mine and no idea when to expect ovulation ...so have to be tiring DH from tomorrow onwards for 2 weeks is my plan! Chart attached...

Sorry to hear AF is here @acupofteamakeseverythingbetter :( so sorry about your m/c. How long ago was it? I really hope this cycle is the one for us both!

Thank you @MrsTwentyNine I'm so sorry for your loss too.

I miscarried in February. I went for a scan due to spotting and saw heartbeat so thought everything was fine, then that evening I miscarried and home - it was such a shock.

As soon as it happened I felt a massive emptiness and I've been desperate to fill that void again. Keeping my fingers crossed it will happen before my due date 🤞🏻

Everyone told me how fertile you are after a miscarriage but that wasn't the case for me but hopefully will be for you!! Xx

How’s everyone doing? Where are you all at in your cycles?
@polkadotpixie thinking of you and hope things ok.
I’m 12dpo. I haven’t been charting but have taken 2 random temps a couple days ago and today. My temp this morning was 37.7?! I don’t feel feverish but do have a headache. I’m thinking my thermometer might be playing up.

@SlothMamaToBe I'm impressed at your willpower if you're 12DPO and still not tested, particularly with a temp that high!

I'm 6DPO and this is feeling like the longest cycle in the world. Temps still tracking where they normally are for this part of my cycle so no signs yet that this will be my BFP

@WantStickyBean I’ve rechecked it 4 times and it keeps saying the same?! I might try on another thermometer at work.
Hmm it’s early days for you still - poss implantation dip on your chart? Fingers crossed it goes back up for you .

@SlothMamaToBe I'm okay thanks, finally started bleeding and cramping today so hopefully things are starting to pass. I'm back at EPU on Thursday for a check up and repeat bloods. Hope you're okay? 37.7 sounds feverish to me, even in my luteal phase and after my BFP my temp was never that high

@Thisriveriswild Did you get a BFP? How did I miss this? Congratulations! 🎉

Glad you’re ok as can be @polkadotpixie - hope things pass easily for you and that you are not in too much pain 💜.
I’ve checked my temp at work and it’s 37.1 so thermometer definitely being dodgy . It’s still high though - although not first thing in morning so perhaps means nothing ! I’m feeling bit crampy today too, no spotting yet but it would be a miracle if this was our month.

@SlothMamaToBe I'm just staring a new cycle today so CD1 for me. It seems that my temp dips and I get spotting a few days before AF shows so at least I get a bit of a heads up each month lol.

I'm not sure there's much more I can change or do differently as I'm already taking all the different vitamins/supplements, eating healthy, limiting alcohol to barely any, tracking ovulation using OPKs, tracking BBT, lots of sex of course (legs in the air after😂 just in case it makes a difference!) and attending weekly acupuncture sessions too.

I'm going to start back at the gym soon as I've really gone down hill with my fitness as I've been terrified to do any exercises in the TWW but I need to start living my life to the full and stop letting TTC control my life - easier said than done though!! Haha

Anything I'm missing!?! 😂 anyone else got any tips or things I could try different?

@polkadotpixie I hope that this is over quickly for you and that your check up appointment on Thursday goes well ❤️ sending you big hugs xx

Hello - would I be able to join you?

I've been reading through the thread - first off, I was so sorry to read your news @polkadotpixie. And congratulations to @Thisriveriswild

I had a miscarriage this month, on 3rd of August. It was a MMC that showed on a private scan at 10.5 weeks. The foetus must have died just after 8 weeks (I had a private scan which showed a heartbeat at 8 weeks). It started naturally but was incomplete so I had to have a procedure to complete it.

I've tried to attach a picture of my chart for this month. I'm in the TWW, but really I was just relieved that I have ovulated and so hopefully my body is getting back to 'normal' again. Usually I have a 27 day cycle; I think this month will be closer to 31 days.

So sorry about your miscarriage @cunningplan101 :(

Been through it too and so has @acupofteamakeseverythingbetter ...and @Thisriveriswild

All we can do is move forwards! I have down moments where I get so upset with the "if only" :( But never mind ...it's life! Good luck to you this month! I hope you catch this month :) I'm entering my TWW currently and really want it to happen this month!

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage @cunningplan101 you're in good company here as @MrsTwentyNine has said, a few of us have unfortunately been through it so we know exactly what you're going through ❤️
