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)

We have all been here a pretty long time and this is safe space to share our journey, troubles and worries with people who understand our losses 💗

Apologies for those I have forgot to tag - please add yourself :)

@Annny27 fantastic news. So what's the next steps now? Hope you are feeling better about things, can't imagine how stressful it must be.
I'm 6dpo and it's going so so slow. Had cramping the last 2 days which I think is the progesterone. I don't symptom spot anymore because I'm always wrong haha.

That’s brilliant news @Annny27 and @Babyghirl

@Kelb79 the tattoo sounds beautiful, I got a little infinity sign after my loss

Hoping this is it girls if not i have the ivf to fall back on and if that falls and i have some frozen embros my sis in law has said she will carry for me x

Really great news to read @Annny27 and @Babyghirl ! Will be thinking of you guys and really keeping everything crossed for you

@Babyghirl that is epic news!!! Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳

soooo many BFPs on here right now, let’s hope it’s contagious for the rest of us 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Today is my due date 😞
I can’t think of anything else but I’m doing ok. I think I had my meltdown last weekend tbh.
I just message the fertility clinic in Spain that we’re looking at - I think the date is allowing me to move forward! (That and the power of the new moon in Taurus maybe 🤔 www.refinery29.com/amp/en-us/2022/04/10956015/new-moon-solar-eclipse-taurus-april-2022-meaning-effects )

Have been thinking of you today @Kelb79 xx

Also I've been really irritable for the last 2 days. DH is really getting on my nerves, and I just want to argue with him. Probably a huge dose of PMS but I just want to tell him to f**k off constantly. If not that I just want to get in my car and get away from him. Every little thing he does and says is just grinding me down at the moment 😂😩 in it's like I have no patience or tolerance for anything

@PeanuttyButter ive been like that all week too! I can totally empathise!!!
OH started drinking every night and staying in bed all day, I got so wound up with him!
then (after a lot of arguing!) he had a night off drinking last night and was really horrible and moody!
I get that it could be his reaction to the date but the serious lack of consideration for me in it has got me riled right up!!
they make it do difficult sometimes don’t they??!! 😐

I said to DH in M&S that I was irritable. His response was literally "No shit Sherlock" he said I've been nasty to him all day. Told him I can't help it and I'm trying to be nice.. don't think it washed. Poor DH.

I was literally just holding it together yesterday then OH was horrible again and pushed me right over the edge. I feel like I’ve cried for a month. Totally wrung out by it! He claims he was trying to push me to break and let it out but who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️
its brought it all to a massive head, I honestly feel like the MC happened yesterday, I can’t believe how far backwards I’ve gone. Maybe this has to happen to move forward?? I don’t know 😣
what was everyone’s experience of this?? What can I do??

Same here

@Kelb79 it's hard when the feelings come back because you then start thinking there's something wrong with you as you feel it should be easier by now. Miscarriage is cruel and awful during and after. It's changed you forever. The hard part now is living being the new you. You've survived yesterday which is the day you were dreading. You will survive tomorrow, the world will keep turning and you will keep going because that's what we do. I'm on PM if you want to chat more. xx

BFN 9dpo on internet cheapy. I know it's still early but I feel like I'm out. Been pregnant enough times the last 12m to know when something isn't right. Obviously will carry on testing as I'm still on the progesterone but feeling really deflated. Happy 2nd due date to me 😩

@PeanuttyButter sending you lots of love. 💖💖💖

@Babyghirl That is amazing news!!!! I am so happy for you, seeing your 3+ on the digital Clearblue!!! The only time I got that was with my current bump who's due next week. It's looking very positively like your Rainbow Baby! Are you planning to have any early scans? Xx

@Annny27 That is really great news about your latest results being low risk! I'm incredibly happy for you and your family!

My consultant was keen for me to stop progesterone cold turkey at around 16 weeks because she was convinced that my placenta would be producing enough progesterone by then but I asked if I could reduce it gradually from 400mg to 200mg and she prescribed it for me. I guess it was mainly for personal reassurance. If you can't get it prescribed and the supply you have is still in date then I would choose to reduce it gradually with what you have for a while. I'm sure you'll follow your instincts and do what's best for you and your baby. I have one friend who was deperate to come off progesterone at 16 weeks due to bad side effects so she did but another one who managed to get it prescribed for a lot longer. Both babies were born very healthy earlier this year although they stopped taking their progesterone at very different times. Xx

@PeanuttyButter I hope you get your bfp on a FRER very soon! Xx

Anyone else in ovulation extremely constipated. SORRY TMI. It's my fertile week and I'm a regular girl and it's been 3 days since I've been and today I went but it's been hard work. I feel really lightheaded and dizzy as well and generally just feel off. Never felt like this before 😬😩

Sorry @apwilso not something I've experienced personally but doesn't mean its not a thing.

@PeanuttyButter no worries. I'm not symptom spotting or anything but might just be a coincidence. I've never had it before so god knows

11dpo BFP with FRER. Couldn't hold out any longer! Let's hope it sticks. If you're the praying kind I would really appreciate your prayers for bean number 5 xx

Woohoo that's a good line no denying that! @PeanuttyButter and so good that you have been taking the progesterone :D I imagine due to PUL last time they will want to know ASAP to get you in for a scan?

Will send a prayer up for little bean 💗💗💗

@H0peing that's interesting - yeah I checked the date on them a month or so ago and they are good for a year i think so i might do a few days of 200mg twice a day and then go onto 200mg once a day etc. Think that will mentally help me. Good to know your friends did cold turkey and all was okay - everything I read online says its absolutely fine cold turkey but just my mental block haha.

How are you feeling now so close to the end of third trimester?

@PeanuttyButter wow yes that’s a good line! Tentative congratulations. I have everything crossed for you. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Will they get you in for an earlier scan?

@apwilso ive only had constipation in the two when it’s less to a positive but that’s just my personal experience. Could be a good thing? X

@PeanuttyButter congratulations hun!! Good line for 11dpo❤️

@Angelmama1121 thanks for telling me your experience. It's just very odd for me to be so backed up and then intense nausea and dizziness so I can only wait and see. How are you x

@apwilso im good thank you. Scan was all good so feeling positive. We have a detailed heart scan with the cardiologist on the 23rd. Hopefully if that comes bank ok, we will be back to low risk instead of a high risk pregnancy 🤞🏻
