🦕🦕 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 :)

@Annny27 sorry AF arrived. Sure she is about to make an appearance for me too - but not being doing OPKs so no idea on dpo

@Babyghirl sorry you’ve been feeling ill.

@Kelb79 took 8mths from starting TTC to first BFP - MC confirmed at 10 weeks. 12 mths TTC until next BFP - MC at 9 weeks but knew that was going to be the outcome from 7weeks. 7mths TTC until next BFP MC at 8weeks. 3mths since last MC and back to waiting for that BFP - sorry but really don’t buy the you are more fertile after a MC theory.

@PeanuttyButter with you - it’s the uncertainty of ever being able to hold my baby in arms that I hate and that it’s out of my control.

Love it @Babyghirl. Do decs you here yet. Will be drip feeding them into the house over the next few weeks but tree won’t be going up until 19th Dec as we get a real one and that’s prob the first opportunity we will get to go and pick one.

@Annny27 I’m so frustrated for you that they won’t consider you for IVF for such a long time it’s awful.
Really hope your appeal is successful. x

@Annny27
Ah shit. So it was the witch.
Hope your appeal works. 2 years is ridiculous

Ohmygod…. You guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have SO much respect for what you’ve all been through.
2 years TTC and one MC has damn near broken me completely. I can’t imagine the pain of multiple MCs (and pray to god I never know)
I am totally in awe of your strength and resilience ❤️❤️❤️
You are all AMAZING!!!!

@Annny27 hopefully neither of us get that far…. But if we do I’ll be just ahead of you on the IVF train… I’ve got no idea what I’m doing either yet really but my fertility nurse told me about www.hfea.gov.uk for starting to get a feel for things.
I’m in Cornwall so my options are limited with choosing a clinic unless I travel…… where are you?

@Kelb79
It's the say you get use to it, you hope for the best but prepare for the worst everytime you get that bfp. Hoping your next bfp is a big sticky bean and your rainbow baby 💚

@Annny27 I donated eggs a long time ago. At the London Women's Clinic.
I Don't know about IVF quality but my experience was really good. People were nice and professional all the way.

www.londonwomensclinic.com/clinics/harley-street/

They have a free open day for fertility treatment (couple) this Saturday morning!
Obviously I don't know where you are located but that's the only place I can recommend!

Would love to join please, looking for support having a mmc in June and still ttc

@Lou199
Welcome to are we group, so sorry you find yourself here thou. So sorry about your loss it can be a lonely time this group makes you feel less lonely as the girls know what your going through.

I have had 4 miscarriages and 1 cp please don't put pressure on yourself cause your not pregnant again, I listened to that your more fertile after a loss but was never the case for me and the girls on this group, my last loss was the end of last Jan and here I am still trying you will get there 💚

Welcome @Lou199 but at the same time sorry that you find yourself here. We use this group to voice what's going on in our lives at the moment. Sometimes just to vent. TTC is hard especially after loss.

@Lou199 welcome lovely ❤️ So sorry you’re here but definitely the right place for support ❤️

Happy December everyone!

Here’s praying for some Christmas miracles!! 🙏🏼
My next AF is actually due on Christmas Day 🙄 I’m regular as clockwork so that’s gonna be fun 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@Kelb79
Hopefully you just had your last period for 9 months 🤞🙏🍀💚

When is AF due for everyone this month?
Mines due 15th December..give or take not been regular since it all

@PeanuttyButter
I'm due the 6 of December so not long to go lol but feel like it's going to make an early appearance, I'm about 11 or 12 dpo now 💚

Guys I’m really struggling 😞
I’m on my 2nd AF since MC… it’s battering me! Heavier than ever, 2 days longer than normal so far (still going!!) and I’m completely breaking!
I feel like I’m going backwards rather than forwards, I’m utterly heartbroken and can’t seem to let go of it.
I don’t know what to do 😞

@Kelb79 sorry you are struggling I know exactly what you are going through, the heartbreak hurts so much doesn't it. Once AF is gone you will feel better and a sense of moving forward. You are at the start of a new cycle afterall and this is what your body needs just think about it like that. In the meantime cobtiy to do what you've done and vent to us. That's what we are here for x

@Kelb79
Awww big hugs, getting your period is bitter sweet it's like putting salt on the wound. Just think your body is doing what it needs to do for the next little bean to stick. And with all your hormones during your period it makes it ten times worse but you will get through it 💐

Hi ladies. I hope its OK that I'm here and joining in.

I'm Floof, 35 with one living DS who just turned 5. Started properly ttc #2 in December 2019. Fell pregnant in the June with DS2, who we lost at 21+4 (tfmr
unsurvivable spina bifida). Then had a chemical pregnancy in the January 2021. A MMC in July 2021, never developed past 6 weeks, medical management at 10 weeks. And now again, our DD1 was born yesterday at 15+1 (tfmr due to unsurvivable spina bifida).

We are heartbroken and bruised. But have decided to try once more. I need to heal physically first. But hoping to join in here, if that's OK?

Hello everyone how are you all doing it's been a while recovery is a long distant memory other half had his op recovered well so we are back on baby making fun!! I am currently 8dpo and feel crap loads of af cramps but more in my stomach. I am due on Sunday so not even sure when to early test xx

Sorry @Sweetbabydust1989 didn't seem to get a notification that someone had posted.
Good luck with your testing next weekend.

I'm at the end of fertile week. OPKs been positive for 2 days now so O keeps being pushed back a day. Been super stressed so putting it down to that , not confident this cycle will be successful as a result. DTD as much as we could and that's all we can do. AF due. Good luck anyone testing in next few days x

Hey @PeanuttyButter I think I might be out cramping like mad especially with my lower back 😩 xx

@HeyFloof welcome to the group. Sorry it’s taken this long for a reply and I’m soo sorry for what you your family have gone through, it’s unimaginable. Did they investigate/conclude why 2 of your little angels had the same condition? And more importantly how it may potentially be avoided next time? My heart breaks for you reading your story, what a strong woman you are x

Morning ladies :) I am in fertile window now I think and period due to arrive around Christmas day as well 😂😂

@heyfloof welcome to the gang that noone wants to be in. So sorry to hear the story of your losses 💗 have they given you a high dose of folic acid to try and prevent SB or is it not folic acid related (I know not all cases are caused by that).
We are similar times- started trying in June 2019, mmc in November 19 at 12 weeks and then chemical in May 2021

@SLCxxx how are you doing?

@sweetbabydust1988 glad DHs op went well! Have you tested?

@babyghirl decorations are looking lovely! Mine aren't up yet. Did your AF arrive?

@sunnysideup2020 that's cool that you donated eggs before! I would have liked to have done that but with endometriosis you can't donate eggs

@kelb79 yep I have been looking at those guidelines and the ratings. I find some months are lower than others in terms of mood :( are you ovulating at the moment?

Ladies....how often do you dtd? We usually do every other day and then sometimes two days in a row near positive opks

@Annny27 we try to DTD 3-4 times in fertile week, usually dictated by OPKs sometimes we start too early and have to carry on. That's happened this month I think. We've DTD on cd 3,7,9,11,12, 14 and 16 seemed to have two peaks this month so God knows what's going on. Thinking an anovulatory cycle tbh. God knows when AF is now due.

@babyghirl did AF come?

@Heyfloof
So sorry to read your journey, glad you found us for support here if you need to vent. Sorry took so long to reply not getting notified on msg for some reason. 💐

@Annny27 @PeanuttyButter
