TTC after miscarriage thread 13 💕🌈✨💛

[FfayeN]

Ready for when we tip over the last one. Lucky 13 🍀

@RainbowSearching I stopped once I got my BFP, continued with VitD, Folic Acid, Omega 3 and selenium, gyno seemed happy with all of these but think the bare minimum is your folic acid 😊 xx

@FfayeN thank you so much for your insight. Keeping everything crossed for 2
lines on a FRER on Saturday and a sticky 1! 🤞🏻

@mummatara I am okay, thank you, just a bit under the weather 😯Got slightly elevated temp (37.0) but it feels like 39.0 😳not complaining too much though!

Sorry I havent posted in a while but i need helpppp

Ive just gotten a faint bfp on a frer at 10dpo. What now? Im absolutely terrified i canr feel happy yet. My blood tests all came back normal had a pelvic ultrasound last week which came back normal too. I was planning on taking aspirin as a precaution, is that wise? I dont know what to doo 😭😭 also will i get early scans now cause ive had three miscarriages in a row? Maybe i should wait till missed period to ring the doctors this doesnt feel real

theres my test its alot pinker in person and i have a faint line on an internet cheapie feeling the usual symptoms too

@Cindy974 Congratulations :D

@Cindy974 tentative congrats😊
My trust offers early scans after one miscarriage. I'd be making an appointment with either a dr or epu. Let's face it, it won't happen today and you can keep an eye on your tests. Aspirin is a tricky one. It can make you bleed if you don't need it but it can help with blood flow to the baby. Did they give you given a reason for previous losses xx

@Cindy974 ooh how exciting!

I finally have some GOOD NEWS. Saw my lovely GP this morning who understands and agrees with all of my concerns. She has prescribed me thyroxine to start sorting my thyroid issues out, has referred me to endocrinology to be looked after by a specific team that deal with TTC issues caused by thyroid, AND a referral to gynaecology with regards to my 3 miscarriages. I’m so so happy. I hate to agree with sexist stereotypes but look what happens when you see a female doctor instead of a male doctor.
Not sure how long the referrals will take with current wait times but I’m honestly so happy just to get on thyroxine. Dose me up!

@LuckyMoonstone That's amazing news! I'm so glad you're getting some forward momentum now :)

@Cindy974 tentative congratulations I totally empathise with your concerns and I would echo @MrsCristianoX suggestions and advice. Take each day as it comes and hopefully if you call they will offer some support and reassurance scans.

@LuckyMoonstone I am so pleased your Dr has been supportive and that you've come out with an action plan! Sounds like you've advocated yourself and your Dr has taken it all on board, wonderful news!! Have they started you on 50mcg? Did they tell you when to book the next test to see how your levels are looking?
Absolutely chuffed for yoh xx

@FfayeN thank you :) not sure how much they have prescribed me, probably a low dose to start, I’m sure it’ll tell me on the box when I pick it up tomorrow. Got to go back for bloods in 6-8 weeks to see how I’m getting on.
@TheBirdintheCave thank you, I could honestly cry with relief and happiness

@LuckyMoonstone absolutely. I found it a bit tricky to start with (I was a sucker for a morning coffee ASAP) but now I just have to wait an hour, and if I have one before then I make sure it's decaff. Although...I'm permanently on decaff now anyway 😂. It's good they're getting you back soon to see how they're doing aswell. xx

@FfayeN haha I’ll be ok waiting half an hour for my cuppa

@LuckyMoonstone what good news!! Must feel so nice to be listened too and actually have someone help!🥰

@LuckyMoonstone that is brilliant news lovely 😊 I can agree with the female Gp taking it more seriously, mine is lovely. A random story from me now..so when I had the many vaginal scans they were carried out by 4 different midwives (female) and then one male doctor. With the midwives they hurt like hell then the doctor was called in during one of them and I gotta say he knew how to handle that wand. 3 twists and he saw everything. I can see the funny side now but the man knew how to handle that stick. No pain, over in a heartbeat 😂

@MrsCristianoX makes me wonder what he got up to in his spare time to make him so skilled in that area 😆

@LuckyMoonstone that's such great news! You have so deserved to get some help, and it's brilliant that they are finally listening! You are absolutely right though, it can feel so hit and miss with support due to the doctor you have, but wonderful that you are getting it now.

@Cindy974 tentative congratulations! I would definitely get in touch with your GP on the day of your missed period like you said. I would probably hold off the aspirin until you've discussed with a doctor; you will surely get support with prior miscarriages. Were you under a recurrent miscarriage clinic?

@LuckyMoonstone 😅 exactly what I was thinking😂 man's got a stick and knows how to use it 🤣 Jesus shouldn't laugh that was a horrendous time..3 times I was told it wasn't viable. I know this! Read your notes!

@LuckyMoonstone thank you lovely, im so glad you’re finally getting the help you deserve! I know what you mean about female doctors I do think sometimes they are more empathetic x

@MrsCristianoX yeah thats true! I feel silly bothering them already when i havent even missed my period yet 🤣 no they havent and testing came back from baby and all genetically all okay. The only difference now is im no longer breastfeeding, with my three losses i was still breastfeeding DD and with each pregnancy i breastfed less and got further along no sure if it’s related or not 🤔 I am overweight though and dont they normally recommend aspirin if you’re overweight? X

@MrsCristianoX he’s pleased a few women in his time I bet 😂

@FfayeN thank you lovely 💕

@Cindy974 I think after 12 weeks but I can check for you. I know high dose folic acid is recommended x

@Cindy974 i took aspirin from my BFP. I had an ultrasound a couple of weeks prior as I had another miscarriage so I thought everyone looked ok to take the aspirin. I just take 75mg on a night and I’m currently 5+6. Good luck in your pregnancy, I hope this one is a sticky bean! 🤞🏽 x

@MrsCristianoX yes please if you dont mind thank you 💕

@HalWin2221 i do have a huge pack of 75mg aspirin ready to take but wasnt sure if to or not! thank you, good luck to you aswell lovely 🤞🏼🌈

Just to add to the aspirin chat - I had two chemicals and decided to take 150mg aspirin (nhs recommended dose now) and double folic acid and I’m now 5w2d 🤞🏼
