🦕🦕 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 Glad you managed to get progesterone prescribed. I've heard lots of success stories about it! My gynaecologist prescribed me aspirin even though my blood clotting tests were normal. She said "It can't hurt!" so I hope that's true for me! I guess there may be other things from my medical record that made her prescribe aspirin for me. No idea. Hopefully progesterone is exactly what you need. Xx

@HOpeing
How r u getting on and feeling.
I'm hoping the progesterone helps when I nxt get my bfp.

@Babyghirl I had brown spotting earlier this week so I feared the worst and honestly had moments where I thought nothing was left in my belly but thankfully today's scan went well with all as it should be. I'd been watching lots of films to escape my thoughts after work this week before the scan. I asked about my fibroids during the scan today and he said they were still small and far away from my baby so that was good news too. I'm trying to just take one day at a time and today was a good day. Knackered this evening! Not sure if it's pregnancy fatigue starting to kick in or just laziness but I'm going to bed lol. Xx

@HOpeing
Lol glad everything was great today and wee baby is growing just the way it should have a good nites sleep 💚

@H0peing thank you and I'm glad it's all good news for you!

Hello, I sadly didn't get any further, left the phone call in tears after she told me if its going to happen it will happen and we can't prevent it.
She told me she wasn't a pregnancy specialist so couldn't help, she then got back in touch after speaking to someone else who also said there was nothing they would do and they suggest I just attend my booking in appointment with the midwife and raise any concerns then.
Thank you xox

@spotsmama
That's awful hate when no one wants to help, can you get in touch with Tommys and c if they would help you in anyway xx

Got a phone call today to arrange another blood test. It's either to check the quality of my eggs or quantity I can't remember what the consultant said last month now. Also found out Iv got my ultrasound a week on Friday, feeling stressed about it all now scared I find out my eggs are the problem

I can totally understand your fear 27DONFIN, but hopefully getting the tests done will be a step forwards. Good luck with them all.

I am sorry you are goi g through this and that nobody seems to want to help Spotsmama. I have everything crossed for you.

So glad your scan went well H0peing.

I'm beginning to think my body is deliberately having a laugh at my expense. I though AF was arriving on Friday, but it was just a bit of blood then nothing, so assumed I was back to the spitting cycle. Today I feel really wheezy so I just started looking at my charts and realised the spotting would have been at exactly the same point in the cycle as the spotting I had before my last BFP. The only think is, we didn't have sex in fertile week this month, and even if we had, this would ah e really freaked me out as that was the only pregnancy I'd ever had what I assumed to be implantation bleeding in. Even though I know I can't realistically be pregnant, I can't help but think both 'what if', and then promptly berate myself by thinking it would unsuccessful anyway. I hate how Miscarriage has warped my thinking and caused all this fixation.
Sorry, just a rant for no reason.

@miscarriage39
Take a test girl xx

I would, but I really don't think I am Babyghirl. I think it's all mind games.

@Miscarriage39 thanks. Feel like I've had a holiday from it all recently while waiting for these appointments and now all my stress and anxiety about it is back

Morning everyone! Sorry for silence, have enjoyed my holiday and the break from internet and obsession haha!

I am about 3 dpo, we actually ovulated on our anniversary so I hope that is a lucky charm (although let's face it, I need more than luck 2.5 years in 😂)

@babyghirl glad your appointment went well. When is your MRI? That's good they will be able to find out more about the shape

@27donfin exciting that all the appointments are upcoming but understand your anxiety about it. I find the same when w rare having tests and stuff

@ELM7 thinking of you 💕 let us know when genetic results come back. My friend had one after her 3rd loss and the results came back that the baby was a little girl and had some chromosomal issues

@miscarriage39 definitely worth taking a test just to rule it out!

@h0peing wondering news about your scan 💕💕

Morning Ladies

@Annny27 hope you enjoyed the break and fingers crossed your Anniversary was your lucky day.

Think it could be 3mths before we get any results. I keep thinking about the fact that we will prob find out the sex. It’s stupid but I’m not sure if I want to know as somehow that makes them even more real and that they won’t ever get to be here. I hope that make sense.

I’m back to work today after a week off sick and then a weeks annual leave and the first (and I mean literally the first) thing I saw was 2 pregnancy announcements with scan pics. You couldn’t fucking write it so started my working day in floods of tears. It was on a group chat that I can’t leave as it’s normally a work chat with work deadlines and timetables on so need to see it.

Hope everyone has good weeks xx

@Annny27 thanks really struggled this weekend thinking about it all. We've both said if ICU and IVF on nhs doesn't work then we will leave it at that. So I think I'm a way we have made peace with it might not happen for us so tests extra is string up old feelings of hope

@Babyghirl I took your advice and gave Tommy's an email after a weekend of struggling with dizzines. Didn't realise they had midwife support. Not sure when I'll hear back but beats trying to talk to me gp who likes to remind me she is not a pregnancy expert so can't help. I really feel you should have details for a midwife during ealry pregnancy, it's not until your booked in you can speak to a midwife.
Hope everyone else is doing well xox

@Annny27
Hopefully not to long going to give them a ring tomorrow c if they can give me a time frame lol.
@spotsmama
Fingers crossed how r you feeling xx

Well give the mri a ring this morning I'm on the last min cancellation list but if I don't get that I said will it be 3 months and she said it won't be that long so fingers crossed.

@spotsmama
Did they get bck to you yet x

@Babyghirlyes, they were very kind and understanding and said I should probably contact GP again but request to speak to someone else. I have the midwife next week - 30th but it just seems such a long wait.

Hello, Imfeeling very let down as I've struggle to see a Dr or get support with this pregnancy. Last night I woke up in pain and had on off pains and cramping throughout the night I'm my lower belly, back and hips. I called 111 early this morning who said my Dr would call me. She did and contacted the local early pregnancy unit. They won't see me because eif it is a mc they can't do anything to stop it and say I'm too early to scan and check. I feel like I'm just being left and waiting for a bomb to go off. I don't feel very positive about this pregnancy. I still have this hope on the back of my mind but I feel like I'm already preparing for the worst.
Nobody seems to care about mc and the worry and anxiety that go woth it!

I am really sorry that nobody is offering you the support you need right now Spotsmama. Being pregnant after miscarriage is terrifying, and it seems so unfair that the EPU can't even you down support/ reassurance. How far along are you now?

6 weeks, 7 on Saturday I think. I had a CP 7th Aug so counted that as my last period.

@Spotsmama sorry you're feeling like this and not getting any support. Weird they are saying they can't scan as it's too early if you are nearly 7 weeks??

@spotsmama
They should be able to see something they said they should c a heart beat by 6 to 7 weeks I would phone up and argue with them tbh don't let them fob you off 💚
