🦕🦕 The dinosaur crew - part 9 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)

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 💗

The TTCers:

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

@PeanuttyButter I have a friend who had progesterone from bfp with low dose aspirin and that worked for her, which was the only thing she changed following 3 miscarriages. I tried progesterone from bfp with low dose aspirin but that didn't work for me. Straight after that a gynaecologist prescribed me progesterone from just after ovulation. It was tricky to know when to take it as it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly when ovulation happens. I used the Clearblue ovulation kit which is ridiculously expensive (the one which shows your two most fertile days) and then started taking progesterone 2 days after the kit showed that ovulation had finished. Progesterone from ovulation was the only thing I changed this time around. I hope that you find out what works for you very soon. Xx

@SunnySideUp2020 3+ on a digital at 5w is great! Xx

My friend on Facebook yesterday:
We’d like to announce the arrival of our little baby girl…arrived safely…. Mum is doing an amazing job after a long labour and big brother is so proud.

What I wanted to put on Facebook yesterday:
I would like to announce the arrival of AF… arrived like clockwork…. WannabeMum doing an amazing job after a horribly long emotional week - taught yoga and re-opened her restaurant yesterday…. Big brother doesn’t really care and just wants to know when walkies will be
😐
Meh!!!

Although AF seemed to start, littlest bit of blood, then stop again, nothing since yesterday morning! My body has gone right out of whack!
Acupuncture booked for 2 weeks time 👍🏼👍🏼
Hope you’re all good and have some nice weekend plans?
I’m back to running my restaurant after a little break, least it’ll keep my head busy 😏

Also another one still lurking to see how you are all getting on!

I'm a big believer in acupuncture now. I was really skeptical but when I hit that stage where I thought I've got nothing to lose by giving it a go I went and within 3 months my cycle was regulated, luteal phase lengthened and then pregnant. If you can afford it I'd give it a shot but make sure it's with someone who knows what they're doing and specialises in fertility.

Still sending lots of positive thoughts to you all 🤞

@Fizzl that’s great! I’ve booked it! The doctor I’m seeing has 17 years of fertility experience so he sounds perfect! My next step is privately funded IVF so if there’s a chance it could either help to avoid IVF or held the actual IVF to be successful (massively lower chance for me now as I’m 42 ☹️) then every penny is worth it!!

I had a huge bust up with OH yesterday 😵‍💫 i think the MC is still really messing us both up so much! It’s so bloody hard!!

Has anyone heard anything about Institut Marques in Barcelona?? My friends IVF failed and even though she’s only 34 you only get 1 funded round here! 🤨 she’s gone straight to them and has an appointment next month already. She says their success rate is really high and they’re actually cheaper than here 🤔🤔

I'm 3 days before my period and symptoms are still there (I think!) but negatives on test which I know is early but I think I'm around 11/12dpo now. Feel like I'm probably out so onto the next one

Having a down day today emotions all over the place
😢

How’s everyone going?
I’m not sure how many dpo I am. My cycle is 28 days and I’m on CD20.
This weekend my boobs have been sore, nipples tingly on occasion. I have been very bloated and gassy and doing a BM has been very hard (which is very unusual for me and I had this when pregnant with DD but not DS)
Last night and Saturday night I had a few strange dreams too.
Not sure if I’m just dreaming up symptoms though. Didn’t expect the wait for AF do be so stressful 🙈

@apwilso have you tested again yet? How are your symptoms?

@Angelmama1121 starting extremely light spotting which seems to have become a new sign of my period is on route in the next two days roughly. Unless on the off chance it is implantation. Symptoms are exactly the same as you. Gassy, no bowel movements (TMI but this is out of character!) mood swings, fatigue to name a few. Just going to count myself out I think just sick of being so let down. Just going to stop caring and let it be. See what happens! Not tested since yesterday which was negative. Going to see what happens now not wasting anymore.

How's it going for you x

@apwilso I’m sorry you’re feeling so down. Try and stay positive hun. AF hadn’t arrived yet so there’s still a chance for you 🤞🏻

I thought I’d be very laid back about it all but I’ve be one obsessed over every symptom I’m having. It’s only our first cycle but after losing our son in November I just really want to be pregnant again.
We’ve dtd almost everyday since CD6 but maybe that’s too much 😂😂

10dpo, no hold, afternoon wee!

@Annny27 congratulations lovely 🥰🥰

@angelmama1121 this has been brewing for 3 years, its my 3rd pregnancy and I have no living children so i am obviously cautiously optimistic but thank you :)

@Annny27 I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

Congratulations @Annny27 what did you do this month. Anything special? X

Actually @apwilso the last time i conceived I had had a smear. And that was the same this time so I am wondering if the thing they use to collect the cells from the cervix helped to "open" things haha

And I have nene keeping my feet and legs warm the entire tww because a warm uterus (helped by warm feet) helps implantation apparently

Ofcourse it could just all be a massive coincidence! I also tried to eat warming foods

Ahh @Annny27 I'm so happy to see this today!! Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you. This is the best news! Happy Valentine's Day 🥰

@Annny27 congratulations lovely! I really hope this is your time. xx

@Annny27 any symptoms that made you test? xx

Thank you @fizzl I really hope so too 💗 💓 how are you and E getting on?

@ELM7 thank you - third time lucky 🤞🤞 and not really I kinda just test to emotionally move on. And was shocked because its a really strong line for 10dpo. The picture above was taken after about 1/2 mins.

My nipples might be darker and my boobs a bit tender but let's face it i think that every month 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Annny27 I've been trying the how warm feet thing! Excited for you!

I'm due on tomorrow BFN on test this afternoon. But just been toilet and wiped to have a massive influx of stretchy thick clear CM. CM have been non existent throughout my whole cycle apart from EWCM at the beginning so not sure what that's about! Got some little cramps and had some bits of spotting. Feeling low about it but hoping I can get a positive x

@Annny27 so pleased for you!!!! Seriously hope this all works out for you this time you deserve it 😊

@Annny27 we're doing great thanks. She's 7months now and her little personality is starting to show - it's a very cute stage but my tiny baby seems a very distant memory now already! We've started weaning and it's... Interesting 😂 the mess is something else.

Have you told your husband?? That's definitely a good line for 10dpo!

@apwilso keep us updated and deffo continue with the warm feet!!

@kiwi17 thank you lovely 💗💗 are you finding out the gender?

@fizzl oh wow sounds very interesting but messy haha! Is she crawling? (Not sure when they do that haha)

And yep, literally 2 minutes after peeing on stick I said I had another valentines present and gave it to him 🤣🤣

Omg @Annny27 congratulations, so happy for you xxx
