TTC after miscarriage thread 13 💕🌈✨💛

[FfayeN]

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

@Bubblesandballoons I feel a good bit better today but I'm bloody fed up! I think I'll give myself to the end of the year then call it a day. I had boob ache yesterday but not today and the odd cramp at one side. Nothing exceptional

I’m 2DPO and attempting to not go absolutely obsessed with examining any twinge in my body and CM during the TWW! ♥️

Hi lovelies! Sorry it’s been a while, took some time away from the Internet after an early scan on our last pregnancy showed a borderline heartbeat and slow growth. Sadly ended in another mmc found at 10 weeks and had another mva at the start of October. The only silver lining is that, as it’s our third (one cp and two mmc, all this year), we can now get tests done on the NHS. Annoyingly though it will probably be at least 6 months to get to see the consultant so we’re pausing ttc dc2 for a while!

I’m currently waiting for my first af since the mc, felt like I had ov pains and a tiny bleed 2 weeks ago so thought she’d be due around now. Two days ago I thought she’d arrived but just bled for maybe 10 minutes, then nothing, then 5 minutes that evening, then nothing, then 5 minutes yesterday morning and nothing at all since! Just wondering if anyone else had this after a mc and if their af showed up properly eventually? I’m stressing myself out about ashermans! Also did a test in case it was implantation but bfn… obvious as we’ve been using protection all month 😂

Now I’ve got a lot of catching up to do, I need to catch up from thread 11!!!

Love to you all xxx

@AwayWeGo2 I'm so sorry to hear your news, having 3 in a row is heartbreaking. I have been through the system with RMC and it took about 8 months before I got answers. I have high NK cells but everything else is normal so I'm on meds for that. I hope you get some answers soon! I've not experienced stop start periods but I think there are so many degrees of normal following a miscarriage. Big hugs 💕

@TheBirdintheCave annoyingly mine is a 2 decimal place one. Boo.

@Bubblesandballoons honestly I wish I'd never started. I don't have the typical temp shift like you're supposed to get so every month is really confusing!

@calimc83 thank you so much for the reassurance,l 💕 they do look slightly darker now and I am getting more symptoms. Its so hard to be positive but im getting there. How far along are you now lovely?

thank you everyone aswell for your reassurances, I actually do my own head in sometimes 🤣 x

@AwayWeGo2 oh lovely I'm so so sorry 💕 mine ended in up as another MMC too it's absolutely gutting big hugs and love. I hope they get you in for answers soon 🤞🏼

@AwayWeGo2 sorry to hear about your third loss!

i think I’m back to -dpo I don’t think I’ve ovulated. I’ve started getting dark nipples and crampy boobs like I had before I ovulated the last time and had some EWCM but back to creamy. I had pregnancy symptoms the last time and tested right to 18dpo and nothing so I suspect my body is just trying and gearing up to ovulate if I actually do 🤷🏼‍♀️

@MrsCristianoX hope you feel better soon. That virus isn’t fun. I feel like I’m getting worse instead of better. First day back to work Sunday too hoping my ear calms itself with all this congestion.

@AwayWeGo2 aww no I'm sorry about your loss lovely..I've actually been thinking of you. Waiting lists are SO bad it scares me

@Luna57 like wtf with this virus. First covid now something that feels like covid but doesn't get you enough time off work. I'll be wearing a mask at work now I hate being sick 🤢

Thanks @MrsCristianoX @Luna57 @mummatara @bunnykins123! It’s crap being back in the “not pregnant” club but nice to chat to you all again, I’ve been thinking of you all too!

@mummatara that’s horrible, I’m so sorry! I have had a quick look back through and sounds like you’ve had a rough time of it! Hopefully our rainbows don’t take too much longer 🌈

I’ve got a pelvic ultrasound on Sunday (but won’t get any results until I see the consultant sometime next year) so might ask them if they can see where I am in my cycle as it’s all so confusing post-mc 🤷‍♀️

Also should have said, HUGE congrats to those with bfps or who are still pregnant since the last time I was here 🎉, wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months! And sorry to everyone who’s found themselves joining lately, it’s a rubbish situation but the ladies on here are awesome! Xxx

@AwayWeGo2 so sorry to hear about your loss, you're right it is such a hard journey to navigate, we are always here for advice or for you to rant to so please stay put here, I'm sure soon enough we will be celebrating yours, and others, BFPs 😘

@Cindy974 ahh glad u are getting a few more symptoms and they've darkened slightly. Early pregnancy is sooo hard. Especially after loss 💞. I'm 22 weeks now...this time last year I was in hospital having my 1st MC which feels really odd thinking about it. Will u book in for an early scan do u think? X

@Bubblesandballoons i’m 4 dpo… usually have boob ache from ovulation but absolutely nothing this cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️ makes me worry that my progesterone is not high enough.
I’ve got a lot of wind 🙈 and have felt dull twinges on both sides since around ovulation but guess still too early for implantation so probably just the wind 🙈. That is all 🤣

@bunnykins123 do you have a pic of your chart? I always wonder if my spike is high enough. It’s more like a rollercoaster.

@AwayWeGo2 sorry your back here. Hope you manage to get some answers.

@MrsCristianoX glad your feeling better. It’s annoying how aware of your body you become in the tww isn’t it. I had vivid dreams last night, and have woke with sore boobs and a snuffy nose. Would be optimistic, but my pms symptoms seem to change after each miscarriage so could very likely just be that 😂.

@bunnykins123 just feels like anything to do with ttc has that many variables for each person it makes it so complicated.

@ChickenT2b haha it’s crazy we worry if we do have the usuals symptoms and worry if we don’t. Fingers crossed not having them is a good sign for you 🤞🏻.

@ChickenT2b I do, I'll try and upload it. It's not letting me do it at the moment 🤦‍♀️

@Bubblesandballoons that's true. I just wish my body would be a bit more text book just to help me a little bit! I finally got my cross hairs today so O is confirmed for the day I was expecting. Phew. That's one less thing to worry about...

@Bubblesandballoons oh I know I've been burnt before with TWW symptoms. I dreamt the night of my fever that my dad died 🥲 but that was just the temperature (he's fine 😅)

@calimc83 aww bless you that’s amazing so happy for you I do remember your name from the old threads, so glad its going well for you! I contacted the epu and because ive had three previous losses they said im eligible for an early 7 week scan so im booked in for 30th November xox

Hi everyone 😊

5dpo and have tests arriving today. I purposely bought ones I know won’t show up until at least 12DPO so I’m not tempted.

@MrsCristianoX glad he is fine. Crazy what our minds concoct. I dreamt some woman found a bag of my partners and was laughing as there was viagra in it! He’s never used or needed it 😂😂
@bunnykins123 yay it’s finally confirmed ovulation for you. Now just the tww to deal with.
@Everythingzrosie that was a great idea. I bought Frer’s and I can feel them staring at me through the bathroom cupboard every time I go in 😂

@Cindy974 aww I remember you as well. Thank you. Still seems surreal really after 2 back to back MC's. I really think mine were down to bad luck and maybe catching covid didn't help? Hope my story proves that there is hope out there 🥰 xx

@Everythingzrosie 5dpo here too :)
lol that wouldn’t stop me from testing 🤣

Does anyone actually not track ovulation each month? I really tried not too this month and just go by cm but I ended up caving but never saw a peak, didn’t test consistently and now my ewcm has gone so I’m guessing it happened?? Anyone know if cm is reliable on its own lol or am I going to have to use opks forever🤣

@ChloeN I’ve had a few months I didn’t opk and just went by ewcm and my period came when I expected it to. I just like to double check with opks for no reason at all 😂

@Bubblesandballoons sounds like me, I’m pretty sure I know roughly when I ovulate but the temptation of the opk is too much 🤣 I’ll try again not to next month🤦🏻‍♀️

To be fair I would pee on anything if it meant I saw two lines for a change 😛

@ChloeN yep. I tried not to this month and then caved after a flood of EWCM and it had peaked xx
