🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 5 💕✨🤞🌈

[Skl2021]

New thread ladies 🌈🌈🌈

@theblueflowers you should do whatever feels best for you. I can only imagine that it's difficult to navigate.

After a loss so much effort and energy goes into ttc again, then once you do I can only imagine the effort and energy that is consumed trying to stay calm.

Sorry - I’m not ignoring previous posts I’m just arms deep in school reports so can’t catch up.

I’m driving myself absolutely mad today. I thought AF had arrived yesterday as had some brown discharge but now only a little bit again today. So now I’m overthinking if I should take a test tomorrow to end my misery and confirm it absolutely is AF or do I continue and just wait with a faint glimmer that it may not be. And then if I do test positive, will I just with riddled with worry that I have spotting again. And will I just be alerting myself to another chemical when I could have been blissfully unaware. FFS. Does this ever get any easier?

@peachiekeen how many DPO are you? If I were you (and this happened to me a few weeks ago) I tested just to put myself out of misery with the ‘is this AF’ xx

@theblueflowers I’m going to be the same as @Skl2021 and pop my referral in past 6 weeks. Maybe on Friday if they say everything is ok. It’s really hard isn’t it xx

@Skl2021 boob twins 🤣 I have been getting stretchy type cramps too. Keep checking every time before I wipe 😢 I don’t think the worry will ever end will it xx

@speake hmmm I had a Google and I think it’s just one blood test rather than one and a repeat after 48 hours. If you go on their website there’s a pink question mark bottom right hand corner which is a live chat. They may be able to help xx

@theblueflowers I totally get the anxiety, I had to ring the EPU and the GP last week to say I'd miscarried and it was heartbreaking, then I received the antenatal test pack through the post a few days later which made me feel awful. I'd do what you feel would be best for you 💕

@aesgriff I’m roughly 16dpo but that’s just according to my Flo app and not actual OPKs.

I caved and tested just now cause I’m a glutton for punishment. I’ve been left to my own devices too long tonight. It felt symbolic cause in my last cycle (when I got pregnant) I was due AF on the Saturday, realised it hadn’t come on the Tuesday and tested at 9:30 at night with a cheapie and it was positive. Then went to get a Clearblue later that night and it was positive again. I was due AF last Saturday again and it’s Tuesday today so I told myself it was a sign. Anyway. It was a BFN. And maybe now I can finally put this month to bed?!

I think this is the progression one x

@Skl2021 I’m so sorry the midwife was so unhelpful and I’m so sorry that you haven’t had the reassurance you wanted today even if you weren’t expecting it x

@speake I'm not 100% though x

Looking forward to seeing how you get on tomorrow @Passenger87. I will be testing first thing as well 😂😂😂 I just really don't feel great. My belly is in knots and a bit dodgy and I'm sure my boobs are starting to hurt a little. But I can't tell if it's just me thinking it because I want it to be the case 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think that one includes progesterone too which is why it’s the progress one 🤔🤔 wish it was clearer!! Xx

Wishing you all the baby dust for tomorrow morning @Cruz86 ♥️♥️ Xx

@peachiekeen I think it’s hard to say you’re totally out if you’re going just off of Flo and not OPKs… did you have any signs of ovulation that you can count days from? Xx

@Cruz86 my tummy has been a little iffy today but my boobs aren't showing any signs of discomfort.

I had a meeting with an endometriosis consultant last week. She got back to me today with my blood test results. Just had the headspace to read through now.

I tested positive for smooth muscle antibodies

And a preliminary positive (need second test to confirm) for anti phospholipid antibodies

Shes sent a script for progesterone and aspirin that I need to start taking as soon as I get a positive so I'll be testing like a maniac no doubt!

@aesgriff We didn’t DTD for about a week after that so that’s definitely me out haha. I can focus on next month now I suppose!

So my OPK's today were lighter than yesterday but I've had right sided twinges all day, I'm hoping my body is gearing up to O otherwise I'm a bit worried that the MC may be causing some issues as the twinges are really noticeable at times

Excited to see the tests of those testing tomorrow 🤞🏻 sending baby dust 💕🌈

Thank you @aesgriff ❤️

@Passenger87 interesting that your stomach has been a bit funny too! I think I'm over exaggerating with the boobs 😂 but they do feel like they have more of a presence and they're actually quite itchy.

That's really interesting, I'm going to read up on those because I've been referred to gynaecology for investigations too. I'm glad they've got your prescriptions ready to go for when you need them!

Welcome people who have joined; so sorry you're in this club...awesome ppl here though :)
@Skl2021 so sorry they weren't more helpful! I hope you're feeling a bit better now it's done...?
@Cruz86 Ah I'm so hoping you're pregnant. I want this, for all of us.

@aesgriff I think you're right! It's not very clear at all and at first glance you assume it's 2 tests to take 2 days apart 🥴🥴 @speake it might be the case you have to buy 2 separate tests x

@arianasky hope it's O! How you feeling in yourself?
Good luck to those testing tomorrow!
@peachiekeen Sorry about the BFN...but no AF yet?
@theblueflowers ugh, I get the stress...cancelling the appts was so shit last time. I registered immediately as was so excited, this time no idea what to do.
@bunnykins123 How are you?
Hope everyone has a restful night and that tomorrow brings good news.

@HoneyLemon29 @aesgriff thank you for checking ladies 🤍 I’ve sent them a message so will see if I get a clear response, otherwise I’ll wait & see what comes in the post 😂 xx

Morning ladies 💛 here's to a good day today. I'm feeling a bit better now I'm a few days into af, ready to go again. Though I've realised it will next be due when I'm away for work next month which will be interesting - would I be crazy to pack a few FRER in my bag 😂

@peachiekeen I'm sorry it was bfn for you, that glimmer of hope always gets us doesn't it?

Morning everyone. According to Premom I'm 1DPO and in the 2WW. Terrified 😰
Lots of mild pain in the left hand side which normally would have me worrying but I don't have a Fallopian tube that side. Hoping my right tube moves and picks up the egg from the left ovary. If no one is familiar with Ectopics you may not know this. Interesting fact for the day 😅

I got my progesterone results back already @aesgriff. 21.7nmol. But they said they can't absolutely confirm that ovulation has happened, they would've rather seen over 30? X

@aesgriff I hate going to the toilet now IV even got a pad on just incase 😩 xx

@peachiekeen you would think they would be more supportive after loss. Sorry to here your getting bfn is it possible you ovulated later? X

@arianasky do you think It was ovulation then? Or just trying? X

@Ganesh2022 yes I'm glad it's done they weren't helpful in the slightest 🙈 how u doing? Xx

@Sassy144 glad your feeling better new day 💕 haha I would take some 🙊😝 xx

@HoneyLemon29 very interesting fact I never knew this 🤯 good luck with the tww 🤞✨ xx

@Cruz86 sorry your results can't confirm it 😩 I'm not to clued up on progesterone results so can't offer advise but I hope your ok 💞 xx

@Cruz86 what DPO did you take the test? I do know (well I don't know but read online that they O when they had low P). Did you have signs of O like EWCM?

@HoneyLemon29 very interesting! I'm gearing up too and beginning to feel a bit crampy.

@Sassy144 glad you're feeling a bit better! Oh god yes, make sure you have everything you need. Last thing you want is to wish you had tests and can't get any! You don't need to use them if you take them...

@Ganesh2022 I'm alright, feeling a bit crampy in my abdomen plus lines got a flashy today so know my body is gearing up for O.

I have another acupuncture apt today. I wonder what they will say about my tongue today 🙄

@Cruz86 when I say 'they', I meant other people online 🙈 I need coffee before replying to anyone...
