🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 6 🌈✨🙌💞

[Skl2021]

Flying through these threads ladies 🌈🤞 let's get some more rainbows 💞 xx

@Cruz86 I've been a mess, crying here there and everywhere and spilling my guts to someone whobless herwas not expecting all that I'm sure.

@Cruz86 I didn't manage one today wish I did 🤣🤦 ready for bed now 🙄🙈 xx

@PamelaDoov sending a hug to you too 🤗 good luck with the tww 🤞🙌 xx

@PamelaDoov I had a positive OPK this morning so think I'll be ovulating tonight/tomorrow. The TWW is so tough but great to go through it together. Fingers crossed for us both 🌈

@Skl2021 awww thank you xx

@LittleMrsMama good luck! We can symptom spot together 🙌

Hi all! I read everything even if I don't comment much, and it's really comforting to see so much support to each others.
I'm sorry some of you have not feeling well today, and have in a difficult time and I really hope it's not what you think @Cindy974 @theblueflowers

@PamelaDoov @LittleMrsMama I think I ovulated yesterday evening/night (I had my OPK peak yesterday morning and felt really strong ovulation pain in the left side in the evening), so I'm in the TWW as well!

@ArcEnCiel2022 welcome to the TWW club! It's my first cycle trying after a miscarriage in January, I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself and hold out testing for as long as possible. In January I was tracking my temperature and analysing every spike/drop and symptom.

Just in case helpful for anyone

1DPO - temperature increase
2 DPO - none
3DPO - none
4DPO - drop in temperature - 1 day dip
5DPO - cramps bad enough to stay up at night, on left hand side
6DPO - temperature increase, cramps on left hand side. Some tingling/pulling just below belly button
7DPO - cramps
8DPO - temperature dip cramps
9DPO - watery CM, very faint positive pregnancy test
10 DPO - pulling sensation, faint positive pregnancy test, tiredness, positive OPK

@Cruz86 I feel absolutely fine, my boobs are tender and I’ve been maybe a little bit more tired than usual other than that nothing to report home! How are you feeling? Xx

Hi everyone. So brilliant to see all the positive tests and scans!

I'm feeling a bit misery today as had a temp drop and my app said it's likely my period is coming :-(

How is everyone else?

Crossing everything for those waiting for good news. It's coming!

X

@Cruz86 tbh I don't really feel anything as I've had these scans before at 6 weeks and always a nice healthy heart beat 1st 2 times I went for private at 9 weeks no heart beat
Last time scan at 10 weeks and no heart beat
I hate not being able to get excited myself and partner don't really talk about being pregnant as we just don't no what the outcome is going to be we found out my last 2 mmc were both girls 🥲 x

So exciting @LittleMrsMama -a faint positive is everything.
12dpo today. Testing is still negative.
Just waiting on AF.

So lovely to hear about all the positive tests, my heart goes out to anyone who is experiencing spotting/bleeding.

I think I'm in the TWW without realising it! I must have ovulated early on in the cycle because I've been testing with an opk and I just keep getting the flashing smiley so I think I've missed it, but luckily we did manage to have a few attempts but now I'm anxious that I haven't ovulated. Isn't this TTC business easy?? 😅😭

@scoutcat same thing here, my opks were starting to get darker then the next day lighter, so I think it happened during the night. And my physical symptoms have confirmed all this too. I also worry that without seeing an actual positive OPK I haven’t ovulated 😕 BUT I’ve managed to get pregnant 3 times without a positive OPK (just a few half-arsed attempts at using them, then giving up when I could never catch a positive) so that gives me some reassurance.

Oh my goodness I need to come on here to rant! EPU have just rang me after tell me I could start blood tests tomorrow that they don't want to see me until 6 weeks! I literally had a panic attack over the phone saying sorry but my last Ectopic was discovered at 5 weeks! Then it was too late!
I don't know what to do I'm beside myself with worry and I told them they can stick there appointment in 2 weeks as well 😩

You’re joking @HoneyLemon29 why has their decision on seeing you changed? That’s awful, hope you’re ok xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 apparently because I'm not bleeding or in pain they aren't worried. Yet after my chemical they saw me at 5 weeks only to discover my ectopic 😩😩 but now I have to wait longer and I'm more at risk. It just doesn't make sense. I've ordered 2x Medicheck blood tests and I'll do it myself. I just can't wait that long to see if my hormones are rising normally 😢

That is nuts @HoneyLemon29 ! Can you go private? Or can you just tell them you're spotting?? I'm not for lying, seriously, but sometimes it's necessary.

@Bundaberg84 I've ordered 2 home blood pregnancy tests that I'll do myself 48 hours apart, at least to give me a little more confidence until I can just book a private scan at 6 weeks.
They know they can do placement scans from 5 weeks, even if there's no baby seen the sac should be and at least that'll tell me where the baby is 🥺

@HoneyLemon29 so sorry to hear this. It's disgusting that they gave u the appointments and then took them away. Hope your ok 💕 xx

@HoneyLemon29 that’s shocking!! I can’t understand why EPUs vary so much in what they can/can’t do xx

@Skl2021 don’t worry 🤣🤣🤣 that’s all we do!! We’re pros at this point. Scan is next Wednesday just want to see a heartbeat again and I’ll be happy 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I’ll be 8 weeks then. Not heard from midwife about booking appointment.. shock!! Xx

@Cruz86 private scans vary so much in price depending on location. Cheapest round here is £79 but I’ve seen in other areas they’re £40! Wild xx

@aesgriff wow that's going quick! I'm sure everything will be ok 🙌🤞 keeping positive ✨

@aesgriff sorry stupid phone sent it before I finished 🤦 booking appointments seem to be getting later and later! Hopefully u hear something soon! I only finished mine yesterday and going from Lmp I would be 10+ weeks. X

@HoneyLemon29 hcg tests are good, but nothing can replace the scans! With my ectopic, my hcg levels doubled in the beginning. It's not always correct that hcg rises slowly, unfortunately.

@Bundaberg84 I think it's up to 21% of pregnancies that have a doubling rate of HCG. With me though I would rather check HCG just incase there is a slow rise and then the early pregnancy unit can see me sooner rather than later so I can have the methotrexate

@HoneyLemon29 I’m so sorry you’re being messed around like that, it’s so awful! Could you ask to speak with someone more senior at EPU? Or maybe ask your GP to talk with them on your behalf?

Hopefully the medichecks tests will arrive soon & give you some reassurance. What an awful thing to be promised & then have snatched away from you!! Sending hugs xxx
