TTC after miscarriage thread 13 💕🌈✨💛

[FfayeN]

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

@bunnykins123 sorry for the delay! We have tried 5 times over 7 days. Might try once more today just in case I ovulated today and not yesterday 🤔 think we’d both appreciate a night off though!!
Arghh this is cycle 6 post mc so really crossing fingers now 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Babydustmamma aw I haven’t seen any rainbows BUT before my mc we called our little one chicken nugget, but usually ‘nugs’ for short and this week I was just browsing online and saw a little toddler jumper with the words “chicken nugs and mama hugs”. It’s gone in the basket for safe keeping 😌. Hoping it’s a sign 🌈

@Bubblesandballoons we’ve done most days this month but my hubby to be turns 40 in January so probably every other day would have been best.
Thinking of getting him tested if we don’t conceive this month… @bunnykins123 which test are you using for hubby?

@Cheetocat I’m just one month ahead of you on cycle 6 post mc. I found it quite a relief to get the due date behind me to be honest. I felt it very much was lingering ahead. A sad day but a day closer to your rainbow 🌈

@Luna57 24 November so I will get results maybe 2 days after. Full blood profile, cholesterol and bp. Last month was just awful. If it doesn't work this month at least i have been happier (as is DH😂) nightmare about the colds going round. DS is in a student house and he brings it with him every week 🙄

@ChickenT2b i love that as a sign 😍 I think it’s just a really good thing when you’re ready to start looking for them again 🌈 I’m on cycle 5 since mc and haven’t been doing so before, but this month I genuinely feel more positive and open to looking for them!♥️

Not much to report from my camp. PT still positive one week post surgery I'm just here waiting waiting always waiting. On a positive note I do feel ok in myself and I haven't bled at all

@bunnykins123thanks, not sure wether I had all the tests I was meant to today as they only took 3 vials 🤷🏼‍♀️. Hopefully they won’t have me waiting too long for the results.

@ChickenT2b that’s a good effort. Fingers crossed you get your bfp. I think ultimately you do what feels right for you when it comes to ttc.

@MrsCristianoX glad you are ttc again and joining us in the tww.

@Cheetocat sorry your having a hard day. Due dates are a hard one to deal with, hope you are looking after yourself x

@Bubblesandballoons that's good! Hmm it's hard to tell. It's probably clotting and general blood work up. That's good though, that'll give you a good overview of what's going on. Did they say how long it would take to get a result?

@mummatara oh that sucks, is it still very positive or fading quite a bit? Glad to hear you're doing well within yourself, hopefully the tests will be negative soon and you can move on from all this.

@Everythingzrosie haha well I took my temps today, utterly poo temp increase so who knows if I've actually ovulated. My body hates me, why can't it just do what normal peoples bodies do 😂

@Cheetocat I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to how the body grieves. I still grieve and it's been a long time for me. I would always recommend distractions such as cooking, gardening, cleaning - that does help to not focus on the situation too much.

@Luna57 our bodies are weird, very weird things. This cycle I defo noticed tingling in the ol' boobage area. I don't usually notice it so much but I think hormones can do crazy things at times. I also get slightly cloudy EWCM during fertile periods. Never really figured out if that means I'm semi fertile or super duper fertile 🤷‍♀️ hopefully you feel better soon!

@LuckyMoonstone exams and ttc sounds like a fun combo! Glad you're doing ok. Honestly a month off ttc sounds blissful right now 😂

@ChickenT2b that's some good mileage there! I've done 4 attempts so far but I need to decide if I give it one last go tonight given my temps are fairly uninspiring this morning. Are you joining me in not touching DH until our next fertile period?! 😂 we are doing the DNA Fragmentation test. I've had literally all the tests done so it's his turn now...🙃

@bunnykins123 still looking the same. I was hoping for at least a squinter by now 🙄 I've got lots keeping me busy atm so at least not dwelling too much on it I just get frustrated when I see the line then it's on with my day until the next one in the morning it's like a routine I have going 😆

@mummatara do you have to back to epu or is it just waiting for tests to turn negative now. With mine I had to wait 3 weeks then if it still positive go back but I didn't have surgery. It's soo frustrating i really feel for you..the hormone once it comes is a bummer to get rid of 😕

@mummatara oh how fustrating🙄 least you’ve got plenty to keep you busy! You’d think by the time the bleedings gone it would have left your system, but doesn’t seem to work like that does it 🤣

@bunnykins123 I have no idea as was just at clinic for blood taking 😂. The secretary had to go quickly get some done for me on mon to collect tues at the clinic as the dr hadn’t even written them out despite it being 7 weeks post appt and miscarriage. I’ve had to just laugh about it after all the cock ups with the recurrent miscarriage. Hoping they do get in touch once the results are back though.

@MrsCristianoX thats not long at all. How do you feel about it all?

@bunnykins123 very very weird things our bodies. I’ve put myself as 1dpo for the mean time but my last cycle I had signs of ovulation and at 18dpo negative pt went about my day and then actually turned out to be pregnant. That cycle my fertile cm must of been the really watery stuff I had instead of the EWCM- I thought it was a hormonal imbalance 🤷🏼‍♀️ It would be great to fall pregnant this cycle but it would probably be a miracle. I haven’t had an actual af since June I’ve been pregnant twice since so bleeds have just been mc bleeds.

@mummatara have you had any blood tests recently to see where your hcg? Hopefully by next week you’ll be negative. You’d think now the sac was gone it would drop dramatically. Don’t you wish our bodies could just tell us what they’re doing sometimes.

@MrsCristianoX I'll call the EPU if still positive at 2 weeks after so one more week to wait. Ngl I'll be a little gutted if it takes 6 weeks again ☹️

@ChloeN no it doesn't stupid hormones 🙄 I kind of thought as I was at 1088 2.5 weeks ago it might be at least faint by now

@Luna57 I've got one private blood test that I bought ages ago that expires soon so I'm going to do it today and see where it's at I'll get the results in 2 days. I wish that there was a device like the diabetic device that could tell us the level 🙊

Anyone around CD6 and waiting for ovulation? After not doing any OPK’s last cycle I’ve decided to go all out and do temps and clear blue OPK’s and easy@home OPK’s 😂 I didn’t find not doing them made it more relaxing at all and didn’t end with a BFP either so back to obsessing over testing for me!!

@Luna57 well I've started ttc again. It'll be grand 🤞

@mummatara oh that's so frustrating. I mean it is fainter but I totally get that you want to not be able to see it now! I do hear of lots of women conceiving with HCG in their system though so unless it's really bothering you, could you just proceed as normal?

@Bubblesandballoons if it was miscarriage clinic, you defo will have had clotting panel done. You should get some reassurance soon with the results! Oh my RMC is so oversubscribed, it took almost 3 months to get my results (this is very much not the norm)

@Luna57 you never know, they say you are more fertile after a miscarriage! I often wonder how spermies swim through EWCM as it seems very thick to me 🤷‍♀️

@emhope I can't let nature take its toll. I have to know where I am in my cycle and that means throwing the kitchen sink at it 😂 the money I've spent on fertility aids is insane!

@bunnykins123 yes we will. we were dtd every few days before the surgery thinking it might have passed so just incase and now I've finished my antibiotics and feel all good in the lady dept we will crack on hopefully tonight or tomorrow every few days again

Anyone that has had testing, what should you be asking/looking for?? I have a phone call with the gp end of the month where I was going to ask for a blood test but I’m not overly hopeful they’ll give me one. I looked at private testing but I have no idea what tests I’d really be needing? (I just want to check I’m ovulating really and have no underlying problems, wouldn’t go for it unless I don’t concieve again by next year) Anyone got any ideas lol🤣

@ChloeN you want to get:

• folate
• vitamin d
• b vitamins
• calcium
• all sex hormones
• tsh
• Progesterone post ovulation

There’s more but I haven’t got my printout. Your GP should know which to go for really..

Has anyone done any of the fertilysis tests?

@ChickenT2b thank you! Just want to be prepared and make sure I’m getting useful tests! The blood test the hospital told me to get after medical management ended up just being my blood type which I already knew so don’t want that again🤣

These are my tests over four days they havent progressed at all 😭😭 shall i prepare myself for miscarriage number four?

@Cindy974 they look super dark lovely. Could it be that they have reached the maximum level of darkness? How many dpo are you? Try not to worry ( easier said than done I know) xx
