🦕🦕 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 :)

@Babyghirl not really; it's still early so I'm hoping I get some. Having quite a bit of brown spotting though so not feeling too hopeful.

Ugh that made no sense. What I mean is the spotting hasn't stopped so I'm starting to think it's a bad sign (subchorionic haematoma?) rather than just implantation bleeding.

@itssquidstella
Fingers crossed implantation bleeding for you if I have not started properly by tomorrow going to test 💚

Evening, I have a phone call appointment with my GP tomorrow. I would really like to be referred for early help/support such as scans. I want to also ask for regular hcg bloods as I don't want to get to 12 weeks again to be told at the scan the babies heart stopped. Worst moment of my life! Also want to ask to check my progesterone levels.
I'm also a vegan, I think my diet is very balanced an I'm very healthy but I'd like some reassurance - my iron etc is normal. Can you think of anything else I could ask or bring up. This is my 4th pregnancy and I can't bare to go through another mc so want to do everything I can. Totally a nervous wreck and expecting to see blood at every bathroom visit. I have no symptoms either which isn't reassuring me. If I go from my last period(7th Aug) which was a cp I'm 5 weeks 3 days. I had a peak ovulation 23rd August if they go by that date.
Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thabk you x

@SunnySideUp2020 sorry AF arrived xxxx

@Spotsmama I was told by a midwife that early scans from 5 weeks onwards are more helpful than hcg levels as levels can vary considerably even in healthy pregnancies so can cause unnecessary worry. I've been told by a midwife that 5 weeks is usually the earliest that they can see anything on a scan. I personally found hcg levels at around 4 weeks helpful, although as there's a waiting time involved for the results, it can be quite scary waiting for the results. I recommend having someone who's close to you near if you receive hcg results. I hope it is helpful with your GP. Xx

Thank you @H0peing, I'll maybe not ask for regular hcg then if it's not consistent. No need for added worry. I'm hoping they will suggest a scan next week if possible.
I'm just after a magic wand I think that doesn't exist. Thanks for the advice x

@spotsmama
Ask for progesterone and to be put in touch with a gyno for early pregnancy good luck.
🍀

Well deffo my period a weired month never spotted like that before a period and early on cd22 lol, fingers crossed for nxt egg 🙏🤞🍀💚

spotsmama I have everything crossed that they willingly give you extra scans etc. Having been through the trauma of no heart beat at the 12 week scan, I really think you need it. Good luck speaking to them.

Sorry your period arrived Babyghirl. Fingers crossed for next cycle. How is that dog of yours?

I'm ticking along. We didn't try thins cycle, so just hoping AF will be in time bad we can move into a cycle of trying. Although we Disney exactly plan this, I think the month off has been just what I needed. Currently not sleeping much due to pup, but feeling a bit more in an even keel than I was before.

And congratulations itssquidstella. Have you spoken to the fertility team since you BFP. If not, I definitely would. I have everything crossed for you.

@Equimum
She doing grand getting really fat thou lol, on ward and upwards for me on to nxt cycle got a scan today then an app with my rmc consultant tomorrow so fingers crossed 💚

Sorry AF came @babyghirl good luck with the scan, and appointment tomorrow!

I've had a rough morning, so no nausea for 2 days. Bit of spotting at the start of the weekend. Woke to brown this morning with bits in (tmi) and cramping all in my back. Had a poo and this brought on fresh red blood with it.
Anyways fast forward couple of hours I've been scanned and saw the little heartbeat. Baby was measuring behind where I thought but the sonographer wasn't concerned. She's getting in touch with consultant to see if she can get some progesterone prescribed for me. Has advised me to keep it easy.
Another scan book for 2 weeks time.
I'm exhausted with emotions.

@PeanuttyButter
Hoping they give you the progesterone and everything settles awful to try and get your hands on that gs. Like I know in America all women get it well what I have read on anyway. 💚

Thanks @Equimum! I’ve got a scan booked with the EPU on the 27th when I'll be somewhere between 6+0 and 6+2.

I’ve got a private prescription for heparin/clexane on order but I should probably contact the recurrent miscarriage clinic too...

@PeanuttyButter keeping everything crossed for you - seeing a heartbeat is a good sign, at least :)

@itssquidstella congrats on your bfp. I'm crossing everything for you. Bleeding is considered normal in early pregnancy so fingers crossed just implantation.

@Spotsmama I really hope you get your scans. Also had an mmc and it is just awful. I don't know why it is so difficult sometimes to get the early scans, it makes me so mad. I have a private one booked for Thursday as epu wouldn't scan me 😔

@PeanuttyButter sorry you've had such a stressful time. You must be exhausted. Seeing a heart beat is a good sign. I'm crossing everything for you. Say strong and definitely get some rest.

@Babyghirl sorry to hear your period came.

Sorry guys just catching up

@ELM7 I'm so sorry for your loss. How are you coping? Have you had any results from genetic testing?

Congratulations to those recently with Bfp

@Babyghirl good luck with your scan today xx

Scan done girls cysts away like I told her last time it was my progesterone cyst seems I was right lol.
She also ultrasound my kidneys cause people born with heart shape uterus can be born with only one but I have the two lol.

Well app in 40 mins girls to say I'm nervous and scared at the same time is an under statement lol wish me luck and I will be on l8r to update to what was said and the way forward.
Going to ask can I take aspirin while ttc and can I get progesterone for after ovulation to c if that will help in some way anything else you can think off I should be asking.

Good luck @babyghirl ♥️

Not keeping up at the moment as on holiday but will catch up when back next week 💕

@Babyghirl good luck 🍀💚

@Annny27 have a fab holiday

@Annny27
Enjoy girl you deserve it 💚
@27DONFIN

Well app over he has sent me for an mri so hopefully won't be waiting to long in that coming through, he want to c how severe the abnormalitie is he said it was seen on ultrasound but might not be really there if that makes sense and also no blood clotting issues it came back nagitive. 💚

@babyghirl always good to get more investigations especially if they give some answers. Did he mention progesterone or aspirin?
