@arianasky thank you x

@PamelaDoov ❤️❤️

@PamelaDoov Jesse is a beautiful name 💙

@MiaGrace31 if you have Spotify listen to ‘The Worst Girl Gang’ podcast and the ugly feelings episode. It really helps me when I’m feeling all the ugly feels and reassures me it’s normal.

@MO22 how are you feeling? Feel a bit sick tonight with 💩.. thinking it’s the metformin still if I’m honest as I’m not upped to 1000mg.

@Cruz86 thank you for sharing! The doctor who shared the results said to repeat on my next cycle and visit my GP 🙄 I think I may try phoning and asking for a progesterone blood test via my doctors to be put through so if I do have positive OPKs next month I can test again on 7dpo. Maybe… I’m hoping the more I can do the more likely to be prescribed progesterone. I remember the scan where we found out it was a MMC said there was a ‘poorly active left corpus luteum’ and when I’ve researched that is that not enough progesterone was being produced to ensure a viable pregnancy. Sorry that was an essay and a lot of waffle!!

@Skl2021 I hope you’re okay. You’re quiet tonight ♥️

Xxxxx

@PamelaDoov I love that name; I know it from the story of King David. I hope the ceremony is everything you want it to be....and yessss, I bet the solid smiley was the highlight of your week as it was mine...never been so happy to see its stupid face.

@JuniperAndTonic crossing my fingers for positive news on Friday. Hope you're keeping yourself distracted with lots of magazines or, if you're like me, less than stellar tv programmes.

@Cruz86 @aesgriff @Ganesh2022 thank you all ❤️
We don’t want it to be a big thing, it’ll only be just me and DH. No music, no readings, I can’t bear to go through my life remembering it as a ‘funeral’ for my baby. It’s just his cremation, we’re going to be there so he’s not alone and that’s it.

aesgriff · 09/02/2022 22:20

@Skl2021 agreed ♥️♥️

@PamelaDoov that sounds beautiful and just right for you as a family 💙

Xxx

Ganesh2022 · 09/02/2022 22:21

It really has been a weird kind of day hasn't it? Hopefully tomorrow will be less so....

PamelaDoov · 09/02/2022 22:23

@aesgriff I hope it doesn’t make me sound cold, I just really don’t want it to be like a funeral because it just escalates the sadness of it all, if that makes sense

Vhopeful · 09/02/2022 23:22

Sorry for ladies who are having a crappy day. I had a very crappy day as well. This morning I was optimistic that my urine pregnancy tests were very very faint (almost nothing) since the miscarriage, so my OB had me blood HCG drawn just to confirm everything is back to normal so that we can try again. It was 47 ( two weeks back before I started my MC it was 46). This was very surprising and saddening. Now, I have to wait another week to get the levels checked and may be get ultrasound if it is not going down as expected. Just when I was excited to try again, I was back to square one. Had a good cry with DH and feeling little better. I agree the situation is pretty sh**y that we all are in. But, we are very strong and we will get through this and hold our rainbow babies 🌈

MO22 · 10/02/2022 07:04

@aesgriff I am feeling pretty awful, how about you? I've had about an hour's sleep as I've been awake all night feeling very anxious. I have had cramps all yesterday and overnight, felt nauseous yesterday and very emotional. Not sure if it's just a virus or its pregnancy and I think it's too early to test. When did you start with metaformin as symptoms of that tend to go away after a few days to a week I found?

@PamelaDoov I think what you are doing sounds absolute perfect for you and your family and I'm so sorry you have had to go through it.

Sorry everyone is feeling down, one more day until the weekend and I hope today is a better day for us all 🤞🏼😘

BlueForYou3 · 10/02/2022 07:13

Just caught up on this thread, it seems like everyone’s having a rough time at the moment 😔 Sending my love to everyone Flowers

I’m 13dpo and spotting is dark brown now so AF is definitely on its way. I think I’ve found it easier this month not testing all the time and just waiting for AF to arrive. I just need to trust that I’ll get my BFP again when the time is right x

Bridgey8 · 10/02/2022 07:23

Hi guys - sorry everyone had rough days yesterday.

I woke up this morning to some brown discharge... obviously freaking out. I'm 6+3 today.... any advice?

Xxx

Sassy144 · 10/02/2022 07:23

Hi ladies, sending love to everyone ❤️ I'm joining this thread 18 days since my MC. I was only 5+5w and got a negative test pretty quickly after.

We weren't going to TTC again straight away, but we dtd CD13 and 14 as I thought it would take a while for my cycle to go back to normal. Now my BBT has risen the last 2 days so I think I might have ovulated day CD16 🙈 so back on the TTC train again!

Sassy144 · 10/02/2022 07:24

@Bridgey8 It could be absolutely nothing but as you're over 6weeks your EPU should be able to get you in for a check?

BlueForYou3 · 10/02/2022 07:30

@Bridgey8 Try not to worry. I had some bright red spotting followed by brown discharge around the same time when I was pregnant last year. I booked an appointment with my GP and they said it was very common. I had the same conversation with my midwife and was told unless there was pain and it became heavier then it was very normal. There’s no harm in giving your GP a call for some reassurance though x

Cruz86 · 10/02/2022 08:03

Yes I agree, do as much as you can now to prepare for falling pregnant @aesgriff! I have a feeling I'll still need to go private to get a prescription because my gp was useless. Still waiting for my referral to gynae to come through as well 😩 It's really frustrating that we have to push and advocate for our own bodies so much!

How is everyone feeling today? I've managed to catch up on the thread properly and I'm sorry people are having such a tough time at the moment. It's just so hard isn't it. Sending you all love x

theblueflowers · 10/02/2022 08:16

Morning all,

I'd like to jump back in if that's okay?
Got a negative pregnancy test almost two weeks ago and had a peak OPK yesterday. Could just be a random surge, as I tend to get these, but we have been DTD with not a lot of pressure anyway. My temps are not giving me any clues, and are still pretty erratic so not sure what's going on there. I'm on CD 40 so cycles are still ridiculously long, and I may not even be ovulating.

I have felt so much better these past two weeks, I thinking getting the negative pregnancy test and going into February and a new month really helped.

I'm going to keep tracking temps and if they ride I'll consider myself as PO but at the moment not feeling too confident in my body!

I have skimmed the last thread and am so sorry to everyone having a tough time. It's really rough x

@Vhopeful sorry your having a crap time. I hope your levels have gone down before next week. It's horrible when you think your finally getting somewhere. Stay strong 🤞 x

@BlueForYou3 sorry af is on her way 😩 as your feeling a bit better! You will get that bfp when the time is right 🌈 x

@Sassy144 sorry for you loss. Yes sometimes we can ovulate straight away. Hope this is the case for you! Good luck this cycle 🤞✨ xx

@Bridgey8 try and stay calm like people have said it's really common and brown blood is old blood. Maybe try epu or gp see if they will see you? Hope your ok 💞 xx

@Cruz86 I'm trying for a better day today! Don't know if it will work out 🤣 but I'm trying to be positive! How are you? X

Welcome to those who've joined/rejoined. Hope today treats you well...

@Bridgey8 echoing it's common but hopefully EPU should see you! Crossing my fingers all is good.

Ganesh2022 · 10/02/2022 08:45

@theblueflowers how do you guys take the pressure off dtd? I'm wound up so tight about it which is obviously counter-productive and not very sexy at all Sad.

Bridgey8 · 10/02/2022 08:49

Thanks everyone. I've messaged my midwife but she's not come back yet. I can't self refer at my EPU so would have to be referred by a doctor I think. Will see what today brings...

I must say as a group we are all warriors - before any of this happened to me I just had no idea of the heartache and anxiety ttc and pregnancy would bring. Sending love to you all xx
