🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 5 💕✨🤞🌈

[Skl2021]

New thread ladies 🌈🌈🌈

@Cruz86 @arianasky thank you both, honestly wish we had some sort of window into the inside to check how everything was going 😫

[quote calimc83]@mrsmw132 welcome 🤗 so sorry to hear about your MC. Wishing u all the luck in the world with your next round of IUI xx[/quote]
Thank you so much for your kind words.
It's lovely to read how supportive you all to each other.
I'm so hopeful and excited for those of you in your early stages.

@Cruz86 I think I started using them after my MC to see what was going on with my cycle. I didn't use them with my previous pregnancies and managed to fall pregnant without them. I also know when my fertile window is because of my fit bit so considering getting rid of that data 😂😂 xx

Evening ladies. Me and my partner just DTD and there's blood on the bed cover. 4DPO and worried I have a progesterone problem causing bleeding in the luteal phase and losing 2 pregnancies in a row. What does everyone think 😭 this has only been happening since I had the nexplanon implant removed 🥺

I'm also panicking that maybe "if" the egg was fertilised it's implanted early in the tube and caused bleeding. I'm a worrying mess now 😢😢

So do I @speake 😩

Haha oh god, there's no hiding from it @calimc83! Let's just hope there is no next cycle for you 🤗

@HoneyLemon29 I don't have any experience with bleeding after sex in the TWW or early pregnancy because I avoid it 😂 but I have read so much about your cervix being a lot more sensitive after ovulation. I really don't think it would have anything to do with the egg in your tube, it's nested so deep and protected so much. Please try not to panic (I know easier said than done). Is it a lot of bleeding or spotting? And what colour is it? Xx

@calimc83 sorry - really silly question alert: how does your Fitbit help to track ovulation?

@HoneyLemon29 was this the first time you have DTD after AF? Could it just have 'dislodged' some remaining that was up there? Sorry - I can't think of any other way to put it?

@HoneyLemon29 sorry- ignore me! Clearly it isn't! I got muddled. Must go to sleep! 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Cruz86 it was a little blood on the cover (red) mixed in with all sorts as you can imagine 🥴
Went to the toilet and wiped and it was pink.
And now I've been again and it's gone 😪
I'm still getting the Medicheck progesterone kit ready to do on Tuesday. And I'm really interested to see what my temp does on my chart tomorrow as it's dropped for 2 days running (still above coverline though) 😵‍💫 it's a huge trigger for me because my chemical bleeding started after sex. And so did my ectopic ☹️ x

No worries 😂

Hi and welcome to new people who have joined. Hoping this will prove to be as supportive for you as it has been for me.

@HoneyLemon29 I'm so sorry about the bleeding, that's hugely triggering. Only experience I have with similar bleeding was from a polyp, so was nothing to do with pregnancy or ttc at all. Several people I know had similar and were told it was something called an ectoprion. Hope you get some answers soon!

I forgot who it was that mentioned a horrible period whilst teaching a lesson...it's a while back in the thread I think. Bless you!!! Possibly @peachiekeen, sorry if I got the wrong person.

@Sassy144 That's so hard. Such as strange feeling being pleased for someone else while also being upset for oneself.

@Cruz86 It's hard not to compare isn't it...I've had a lot of cramping this time, in the back as well, first I worried it was there, now I'm worried it's gone...cannot win. How you getting on since the positive?

Quick update. The blood on the sheets was the only bleeding I had. Nothing through the night and nothing this morning. My temp has gone back up. I'm wondering about this 2nd Estrogen surge I've heard about? Well I'm hoping it's that or just a pissed of cervix 😅

@Cruz86 was it you that did a progesterone and HCG test through Medicheck? X

@peachiekeen it's probs not hugely accurate but u can enter your AF dates and it tells you your fertile week xx

It's so hard not to compare @Ganesh2022. I furiously prod my boobs multiple times a day to see if they're as sore as they were before 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm okay thank you, my spotting stopped Friday afternoon but then I had a bit of red watery spotting after a bm yesterday evening. Again, nothing since! Just counting down the days to my scan. The quicker I'm on progesterone the better. How are you?

@HoneyLemon29 so glad your bleeding has stopped and that your temp has gone up 🙌🏻 it's very common to get a second estrogen surge and I get lots of ewcm part way through my lp because of it (I'm guessing!). I hope you're feeling okay this morning? I did a progesterone test at 6dpo. But I think @speake did the hcg one? I'm going to do one next week though.

X

@Cruz86 I think as testing day draws closer I'm going slightly more insane everyday 😅😅 I remember someone doing the test in the last week and had to get their partner to help 😂 wanted to know how they got on with results but can't remember who it was 🤯🥴 x
I think I remember they were unsure whether it was a 48 hour HCG test or whether they had to order 2 of them. Because the website wasn't clear x

@speake apologise if you've posted already I must've missed it 😓
Did your HCG home Medicheck test go ok? X

@HoneyLemon29 no problem, glad you’ve had no more bleeding & your temp has gone back up 🙏🏼🤞🏼 I did the pregnancy progress one that tests for progesterone & hCG, the testing itself was fine, quite difficult to get the required amount of blood out your finger but manageable (where there’s a will, there’s a way 😅). The tracking etc sending the tests back was good, I know they received the first one the next day - Friday. Hoping to get the results back tomorrow or Tuesday so will post what that looks like so you can see how it is.

I ordered two separate tests so I could do them 48 hours apart to monitor the rise in hCG so I’m hoping they receive the second one tomorrow to start their testing. I had thought that there would be two in the box given it says to monitor progress but there was just the one xxx

Morning all xxx

Have woken up this morning to light red spotting 😩 no cramps. I’ve been inserting the progesterone rectally so shouldn’t be from them. Why does the sight of any blood just sent shivers down our spine 😢 I’m 5+4 today xx

@speake I think that might be a little sneaky thing they do to confuse people as it's not clear at all 🤭 I'll order my progesterone one today and "try" and take the test on Tuesday. Might have to get my partner to prick my finger 😅 with the temp dip and the spotting I want to make sure progesterone is in order, if it works like that I'm not sure. I know it confirms ovulation but can it detect low progesterone before pregnancy occurs? I'll have to do some research x

@HoneyLemon29 you can add comments etc in to your profile re. why your testing, perhaps if you popped in there what you are trying to find out then the doctors will respond to that in their commentary with the results? Worth a try!

@aesgriff the fear of wiping & then getting a tiny bit of spotting is the absolute worst. Big virtual hugs, hopefully it’s just a tiny bit & tails off 🙏🏼🤞🏼 Could you ask for another progesterone test via your GP or EPU? The amount of progesterone they subscribe seems to be a one size fits all but I know from following infertility pages on Instagram etc that some people are told to take more than the 2 x 400mg per day if they have really low levels! Xxx

Morning all xxx

@HoneyLemon29 bleeding after sex can be caused by a myriad of things. Endometriosis, polyps, just being a little rough for fun, not lubricated enough, a little infection etc. I bleed after sex 70% of the time due to Endometriosis. If it is something that you notice occurring again I would go get checked out to ensure there isn't a pesky infection or anything. I have to go get checked for cervicitis, PID and BV twice a year as my endo symptoms can mask them.

@aesgriff hopefully it's just some spotting and tapers off. I hope you have every opportunity to have a nice relaxed day today xx

@calimc83 I didn't know fit bit kept track of that. Technology is mental these days! Do you feel yourself under pressure at the moment?

@mrsmw132 sorry you've reason to be here but so glad you found us xxx These girls keep me sane...well as sane as I'll ever be i suppose

@Skl2021 how are you feeling today?

@Passenger87 only seems to happen in the luteal phase. And only in the luteal phase since I had a contraceptive device removed in sept 😩 had a vaginal swab and smear done in the last couple of weeks which was clear. No pain or any other symptoms. Just hoping it's one of those things rather than Endo as I only have one tube left after Ectopic, and I know Endo can cause Ectopics and I'll soon be finding out whether I caught this month or not. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

@aesgriff hopefully it's just a bit of spotting or old blood ❤️

Still on O for me today, I've had a bad back through the night though and cramping, is there a way I could have a period without O only 14 days after my MC started?
