TTC after miscarriage thread 13 💕🌈✨💛

[FfayeN]

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

@calimc83 thank you 🙏 they look so light to me 😞 im about 17dpo my period was due to arrive monday just gone

@mummatara that's good! I think it's wise to crack on given you know now all has been removed. Hopefully the hormones will help conceive really quickly 🤞

@ChloeN the main ones would be LH, FSH, AMH, TSH, Estrogen, progesterone (if you're not sure you O) prolactin, blood clotting and NK cells if you can get that on the nhs. The vitamins are good to check but they aren't likely the cause for miscarriages (maybe the cause for not conceiving though). As part of my blood work up they checked vitamin D and a couple of others.

@ChickenT2b 🙋‍♀️ I've had all the tests done. How depressing is that 😶

@Cindy974 try not to panic. The lines are good. Have you taken them all at the same time each day and with concentrated urine? That could affect the strength of the line. Which one is the last test too?

@bunnykins123 bottom test is this morning they have all been first morning urine x

@Cindy974 it might just be those tests, I wouldn’t worry til they get significantly lighter or you start to cramp or bleed.

i got more o pain last night but this time on the other side 🤷🏼‍♀️ More creamy cm today maybe my body doesn’t know what’s going on and is just trying everything from any angle 😂

@Cindy974 they all look nice and dark to me, like they won’t get any darker
@mummatara sorry you’re STILL waiting, and I thought I had it bad last time 😞

@LuckyMoonstone thanks lovely I think poor @MrsCristianoX has had the worst wait I'm sure hers was 12 weeks 🤔 I took another this morning which I would actually call a faint line so hopefully it won't be long 🤞🏼 I'm going with today I'm CD9 makes me feel like I'm in a shiny new cycle

@Cindy974 I would give it a few days before your next test. I'm sure it's nothing (it could be how diluted your urine is etc) and I'm sure when you do the next test it'll be much darker than the others. Got my fingers crossed for you!

@Luna57 I've had wayyy more cramps this cycle. I think I've ovulated?🤔 I've had a temp rise but it's 2 days after my super crampy day so who knows if I ovulated then or yesterday. I'm getting a bit of cloudy EWCM too. I wish my body just operated in a normal pattern: EWCM before O, pains at O, temp rise and creamy discharge after O. But no 🙃

@mummatara yassss to the squinter 👏👏

@mummatara thats good news, glad it’s finally getting faint!

@bunnykins123 i feel like that this month, I thought I was going to ovulate early but cd15 and still no peak, it started to rise then went down again, what the hell🙃

No luck this month 😥period has turned up. And I hit the right time. But not sure I properly ovulate following miscarriage.

My TTC journey for No.2 so far....

TTC cycle 1 in May time. Get pregnant. Miscarriage mid July (around 12 week mark).

TTC a few weeks later. Get period Aug. TTC first proper post M cycle. No luck (period exactly on time in Sept). TTC again, get positive test day period due early October. But start bleeding heavily 4 days later. Wait for negative pregnancy test and TTC again. But my period has just shown up.

I just don't think this is going to work for me for No.2. I'm pretty heartbroken tbh. But I really don't want to TTC anymore. But I'm 38... With low ovarian reserve hormones (apparently).

Kiddo 1 (and now probably only) is already 4. In the unlikely event anything happens now, he'll be over 5. I feel like I've let him and everyone else down tbh. He's been every sweetly asking for a sister or brother because his friends all have siblings. And he is such a lovely kid, I would have loved another.

Not sure how DH will take it. As he's so lovely and a great dad, but I know he'll be sad that our family won't be expanding.

@mummatara ughhh the may miscarriage took 11 weeks to clear on it's own😭

@EsmeSusanOgg I think everyone feels like that cd1 don't think about it now..hormones at a high. Sorry about AF 🥲 I hit the right times this month and am not expecting anything to the extent DH booked a weekend away for us in December. Xx

Thanks @MrsCristianoX but this was always the last cycle I was going to TTC for even.before miscarriage 1. Miscarriage 2 last month... I sort of knew that we wer wout or luck. But I was so hopeful still. Which is so utterly silly. Not sure why I let myself think it might happen.

@EsmeSusanOgg I think it's totally natural to, somewhere deep down, have a tiny bit of hope. I do. Never amounts to much for me but I think I have to allow myself to have hope otherwise I'll go absolutely barmy. I'm the same age as you and have low AMH which on paper is bad news. Do you know what yours were? I had a hyfosy this cycle and I had above average ovarian reserve so if it's AMH you're working off, it doesn't necessarily correlate to ovarian reserve. However, I'm still here after a year of ttc but no luck and no obvious answers. Conceived easily for the first 6 cycles and then absolutely nothing. Would you consider ivf? DH is getting himself testing then we are going ahead with it. I think for us, after a year of trying that's our last resort (I SO don't want to have ivf but I SO want a sibling for DD so very conflicted) just know you're not alone 💕

I think I'm just a bit of a mess. Was really hoping that I was going to strike lucky 😢

@EsmeSusanOgg I'm not sure what your last message said but I hope you're ok 💕

Thanks @bunnykins123 just have too much outing info. The mods here were very kind.

Bit... Emotional this eve. But have nabbed GP appt and going to call a local fertility clinic for a scan/ blood test.

@bunnykins123 i wouldn’t be surprised at a 3 month wait too 😂.

@mummatara so happy you finally got a lighter line.

@Cindy974 hope you get a nice dark line in a few days. They look like nice strong positive to me for cheapies.

@EsmeSusanOgg sorry your struggling, but seems like you have got the ball rolling on some help which is good. Hopefully they can give you a few answers.

How are the tww ladies? I’m 6/7dpo today and apart from being exhausted (due to ds waking up through the night and then me being on 10pm finishes 😩) not feeling much, apart from it won’t happen as I’m not getting enough sleep 😂. My frer arrived yesterday and hoping I can hold out till Monday at least.

I'm 4dpo today (though temping would suggest I haven't ovulated at all) so still a long way to go!

@TheBirdintheCave I literally think we are cycle sisters as my temps have gone down today 🤦‍♀️ I'm so frustrated. What thermometer do you use? I'm tempted to get a proper one as this uncertainty is begging to really peeve me off!

@Bubblesandballoons I think I'm about 3/4 DPO but who knows 🤷‍♀️ what day is AF due for you? Hope you are able to hold out to Monday! I've got a while yet before I think about testing!

@EsmeSusanOgg that's good news regarding getting further tests. Wishing you luck!

@TheBirdintheCave @bunnykins123 I don’t temp, so I may not have ovulated… living in blissful ignorance of that side of things 😂. Af due 16th/17th.

@bunnykins123 It's just the digital Braun one I got before my son was born. I was too lazy to get a two decimal place one as well and this one seemed to work last month 😂

@Cindy974 was just scrolling through all my last pictures trying to see if I could find a pic of my cheapies when I got my BFP but think I've deleted it. I'm sure mine were all pretty similar ish when I was around your stage. I then had a stern word with myself and stepped away from them for about a week ( then caved) when I tested again a week or so later it had turned ever so slightly darker xx

@bunnykins123 what thermometer are you using? I have a femometer one which was about £30 but it's Bluetooth so I can take temp with my eyes closed and just download it when I wake up properly it saves the time too which is handy 😂

@Bubblesandballoons I'm 3dpo today but have been struck by a virus that feels like covid but isn't. My lower back is sore and I feel like I've been run over by a truck 🥲 i just don't think it'll catch in this state. I rang in sick which I never do.

@MrsCristianoX it’s annoying that it always seems to happens in the tww isn’t it. Hope you feel better soon and manage to get some rest today xx
