🦕🦕 The dinosaur crew - part 8 ttc after mc 🦕🦕

[Annny27]

Hi ladies,

You know the drill after this long haha! All of us ladies are ttc after miscarriage (whether that's MMC, MC, TFMR, ectopic or CP)

I will tag people in next message :)

@ELM7
I know what you mean would rather have a reason to not have one, he wants me on antis from either start of ivf or bfp because I would be more pronded to infection. 💚

@PeanuttyButter
Going to phone tomorrow thou I'm on cd9 now so nest cycle would run in to Christmas so they might say Jan any way so will get the ball rolling asap💚

@ELM7 I hear you on not getting answers! You don’t want there to be something wrong but if there is you can at least focus on what to do about it. Without answers, there’s no focus, just stabbing in the dark 😩😩

So….. I’m 3DPO and spent all of yesterday with really tight pulling feelings in my lower abdomen and a constant low grade pain - it felt like someone poking their finger into me in the same spot all day 🤔 now I’m well aware that it wouldn’t be implantation at this point but has anyone had this…… first proper cycle after MC so guessing it’s probably to do with that?? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@Kelb79
R body's do strange things after a loss, but I have also noticed I have felt every pain pull niggle while ttc lol.

Well full moon is out tonite girls and im ovulating, you know anytime I having pregnant has been with the full moon lol well I can dream 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fingers crossed 💚

@babyghirl keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you:D great news that he didn't see any major issues with the MRI. Do you have heavy periods as I know that's a a symptom for adenomyosis

@elm7 that must have been quite emotional finding out the reason for the last loss 💗

@sunnysideup2020 yep 40 days of opks is enough to bore anyone haha!!

@kiwi17 how are you doing lovely?

@peanuttybutter does your DH want try again next cycle?

Oh I am about 5dpo atm, nothing to report as usual haha

@Annny27
Nope my period could not be lighter lol, red bleeding for 2 days then 3 days of brown but only on wiping,he said its not bad so here's to hoping where r you in ur cycle.

6DPO and symptom spotting like a crazy woman 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣🤷🏼‍♀️
I think it’s actually worse having been pregnant and felt actual symptoms, I’m totally manifesting everything now! 🙄

Quick Q….. my symptoms were really mild during my pregnancy - a lot of the time I felt like I could be imagining them. The tiredness was insane but I’d had a really hectic and busy season at work (I own a restaurant and chef most of the time)
I’ve read quite a lot about woman saying they had mild symptoms on pregnancy’s that ended in MC and stronger symptoms in viable pregnancy’s…. Has anyone actually experienced this?? 🤔🤔

@Annny27 chugging along here - husband got covid last week but weirdly neither I nor the 3 yr old did (both double jabbed so he got it super mildly though so that was good) however it meant our kitchen got ripped out and then the man couldn't come back in the house so we were left with an empty room for 10 days which is a nightmare when you feel sick and can't cook anything!! Finally finished now though so that's good . How you getting on? Trying not to symptom spot?

@Kelb79 hi and welcome! Just wanted to say in response to your question- I had a miscarriage in march at 10 weeks , my symptoms weren't very strong and actually had gone away before I started spotting despite the midwife saying that was normal I knew something was wrong and it was. I'm now 7 weeks with this one and have felt super rough, nausea, tired , food aversion etc so I'm hoping that's a good sign! I don't remember it being this bad with my first but that was 4 years ago now so I think I may have just forgotten. I know they say that some people can have no symptoms at all and it be fine but that's not been my experience ! Hope that helps and good luck.

@Kelb79 I didn't have many symptoms with my first, but if nausea at about 4 weeks til about 6 and my symptoms completely went at 8 weeks. Baby had stopped growing at 6 weeks, found out at 9.5weeks scan.
Second time I felt rough from 7dpo, I knew I was pregnant even though my tests were negative. Felt sick again until 8 weeks, babys heart had stopped between 7 week scan and 9 week scan...
Everyone I know that's had a successful pregnancy has been very sicky...I'd always hoped my symptoms were mild but after all this If it meant a healthy pregnancy then I'd take it!! Good luck with the tww. When are you testing? I'm hoping AF comes in the next few days (month off for me) so we can start again. Cycles not been regular since miscarriages so could be anywhere between 24-30 days, I'm CD23 today.

@Annny27 DH is ready to start again this month, he's had his break where I feel like this has been the most stressful month of all watching the fertile week and tww pass.

@Kelb79
With my MC my symptoms were mild. Weirdly i had bad period like cramps and lower back pain at around 4 weeks before i tested positive but by 6 weeks all were gone, and had spotting from 5 weeks.
With my successful pregnancy i had 0 symptoms until about 6 weeks but once they came, they were awful! The day and night nausea with occasional vomiting, flod aversions, tender huge boobs the tiredness... i was a zombie.
So yeah very different experiences... probably due to the hormones being different!

@kiwi17 @PeanuttyButter @SunnySideUp2020 thank you so much for your responses 🙏🏼
It really does seem that viable pregnancies kick off worse symptoms doesn’t it?! 🤔
I was so paranoid when my symptoms were so mild but more about having got it wrong abs not actually being pregnant than having an MC - I just didn’t expect that would happen to me (silly me!!)
AF is due on the 29th so I might test later this week. I never liked early testing - the BFN just felt horrible, I always preferred to just wait for AF and only have that one hit of disappointment. So I’d only ever buy more expensive tests that I didn’t want to waste.
BUT…. I’ve got a stock of HCG tests in the cupboard from testing down my levels post MC so I know I’ll end up testing at some point 🙈🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

@kelb79 I've only ever used internet cheapies and always got my BFPs at 10dpo (squinters). Usually start testing at 8dpo especially if the tww is dragging.

This TWW is hell!! I actually had it in my head I was 6DPO yesterday, but nope, today I’m 6DPO 🤣🤣 Trying to distract myself by shopping for new lounge furniture and boots 🙈🙈🙈

@kelb79 I am about 7dpo too but trying not to think about anything and if my period hasn't arrived by December I will think about maybe testing - how are you feeling ?

@sunnysideup2020 that's interesting rhe difference in your symptoms of successful vs unsuccessful pregnancies!

@peanuttybutter yeah I would have found that stressful as well watxhing a fertile window go past! Men don't have the same ques so probably doesn't affect then as much missing a month

@kiwi17 uggh covid in the house during early pregnancy isnt ideal when you want your husband to be taking care of you haha! glad to hear you are doing okay now! are you thinking of having an early scan?

@babyghirl about 6/7dpo for me - what about you? have you been watching I'm a celeb?

@Annny27 good luck holding out!!! 🙈🤣
Im gonna try to wait until December if I can too!! But I seriously doubt my chances - this TWW is a tough one!
I feel ok though, tired and keep feeling sicky but I honestly think I’m manifesting symptoms 🤣 how are you doing??

I actually forgot an appointment for a blood test to check my progesterone levels after a ovulation this morning 😳😳 how the hell I managed that god knows!! Luckily I got another appointment this aft! Phew 😅

Cycle day 1 for me ladies, AF arrived in full painful glory. I swear they didn't hurt like this pre miscarriage! Ovulation is usually CD13 for me so it's the calm before the storm so to speak! Also need to see where DH is with it all.. glad this last month is over with now though!
Fingers crossed for all that are in the tww xx

@Annny27
Eyes glued to it lol loved last night's one 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm cd15 today but getting a cold gs fingers crossed this month is ur month.

@Annny27 yes one booked for 10 weeks as that's when I started spotting last time but who knows! Hoping and praying anyway. Hope these twws speed up for you ladies!

Girls Tommys r selling these would be lovely on all r trees xx

Morning:)

@babyghirl awwh those are lovely! We have a little star ornament for our tree that has the nickname we gave our first baby on and it always makes me emotional putting that on. I am watching I'm a celeb too ' naughty boy was a bit dramatic last night haha

@kiwi17 not long to wait now untill your scan :) have you told anyone yet?

@PeanuttyButter see my periods are the opposite in that they used to hurt so bad pre miscarriage and now they aren't so bad since!

@kelb79 every morning I tell myself I am about 7dpo so that I don't feel the urge to check or look at my app haha. How are you doing?

Well I'm loaded with the cold 😭😭😭😭😭 prop abot 4 dpo or around there so off work today. Well I took leave today and tomorrow as pups have to go and get vaccination tomorrow so all getting washed today lol.

I got my blood test results. Coags etc all normal.
Day 21 bloods 'adequate'. Been in touch with the gynae secs to chase up my referral and I've got an appointment in March!!!
Having a discussion this evening with my husband about going private. Can't wait around especially as my colleague has confided in me that she's now trying and I can't cope with someone else around me getting pregnant. I know it sounds crazy but I can't. I have a very small social circle and this is the last person in it not to get pregnant since my first. Arghaghrh

@PeanuttyButter
Does not sound crazy at all I hate seeing pregnant women, it's so long waiting on an app it's awful hope you can go private and get some answers xx

Morning ladies :) how's everyone's bins holding out after the storm?
@babyghirl it was quite bad in your neck of the woods so hope you are all okay!

@PeanuttyButter did they give you a figure for your progesterone level?

@kelb79 tested yet?
