TTC May 2023 💖✨ previous MC March 2023

[Freddie15VES]

Hi ladies

I thought I’d create this thread if anyone wants to jump on.

I have a little boy who was 2 in April 💖

we decided in March to start trying for baby #2 and we were delighted to get pregnant that same month! Unfortunately we lost the baby at the end of April at 6w 4d

The MC is completed and I have taken an OPK this morning which looks to be really high. Not quite peak but definitely high which is just great that I’m ovulating again! I didn’t know what would happen. We both feel ready to try again this month so will be going for it.

Whether you’re TTC baby #1 #2 #3 etc you’re welcome to jump on ❤️❤️❤️

@Freddie15VES thanks for asking - Mum and baby both doing well although little one is in NICU - I think mostly for jaundice. She was 5lbs6ozs at 34wks so bet my SiL is relieved she didn't go to term! Haha

Ah gosh, I feel for you both. Absolute sheer exhaustion has always been my main symptom in early pregnancy and nothing else wipes you out quite like it! Don't know how those of you with physically demanding jobs do it!

@SnookyPook im just trying to see it as a positive as I never felt like this last time - and this time I feel AWFUL. Just knackered as soon as I open my eyes. And my 2 year old is repeating the same things over and over again and I’m just trying to have patience 😂

aw! Amazing, that’s good to hear!! Yeah she would’ve been a big baby then!!!

I tested ridiculously early at 6dpo and got the obvious negative result. I don't know why I think I'm going to fall so quickly soon after mmc when it took me 3 years to begin with 😅

Hope everyone's doing ok 🥰

I'm seven days late now still no af I feel like I'm on but I'm not and still getting negatives so God nos what's going on with me 🙄🙄 suppose after a loss hormones can go up the wall am taking it my body's just not ready to conceive yet xx

@Retrogamer youve gotta keep positive though! You never know! My partners cousin went through ivf as they were told they couldn’t ever concieve naturally that it was impossible - baby was 6 weeks old when they found out they’d fallen pregnant naturally 😂

@Jadeypie have you had a period since MC? Sorry if you’ve said just so many messages on here I can’t scroll back and find it 🤪

Also look at these 11 DPO vs 21 DPO

I stupidly took a clearblue digital tonight and it said 2-3 weeks which caused so much anxiety cos I thought it should say 3+ now with me being 5 weeks today….but I don’t know haha

@Freddie15VES that line looks amazing 😍😍 well 2-3 weeks would mean 4-5 so give it another bit of time and I'm sure it will go to 3 weeks!! I'm 6dpo today. I'll probably test on Friday as that will be when period is due x

@Freddie15VES it's okay this thread is longgg haha and yeh I've had three now this being my forth I actually feel like I'm having af but no flow I done two tests a about 5 days ago and nothing just waiting now maybe my hormones have decided to go up the wall again 🙄

Also them clearblues are known to just stick on weeks some dont ever get past 2-3 and go on to have perfect pregnancies and your lines lovely I wouldn't worry xx

@Retrogamer it took me five years for my DS I was convinced somthing was up with my fertility he was a lovely surprise. My second pregnancy was first time trying I was thinking it was gona take years again so I get how you feel but it's very possible it can happen alot sooner than you think xx

@Freddie15VES and @Jadeypie thank you 😊
I should stay positive, and like you said. Things can happen. Haven't tested today, I'll try again tomorrow evening then if no positive by the weekend, look towards trying next cycle.

Ah @Jadeypie I feel your pain, I've still only had tiny bits of brown spotting but my abdomen is so bloated and I do feel like I'm aching so don't know what's holding back my AF. Had bloods done today but they said it might be a week before I get the result 😫

@Westy22 I go away Friday and I bet that's when af decides to come just to piss me off more 🤣🤣

I had that about two weeks ago which is a sign afs about to show (I'm starting to think it was late ovulation) and I even said to my partner looks like another cycle on time but now nothing since that av had cramps Sore boobs raging pms all the usual my back is killing today I just feel like I'm going to skip this month!

Fingers crossed your bloods give you the answer! Xx

@Jadeypie how frustrating you haven’t had AF still?! Have you spoken to your dr?

So EPU want me back for bloods in the morning as there still not a normal level and no period, she said its either being very slow or a new pregnancy. (I don't believe it's a new one). X

@Freddie15VES no I havnt been gp this has happened before where I have completely missed a cycle but that was before my DS I wasnt very regular but I have been for nearly three years now if af doesn't show in the next week or so Al give them a ring x

@Westy22 I'm sorry you must be feeling all over the place. Did she say what level you was at? How long has it been now? Maybe a scans needed to check things? I feel for you it's a awful time in and out of the epu big hugs 🥰

@Jadeypie yeah definitely worth a call! It’s so frustrating I bet cos I’m sure it gets your hopes up and then you’re getting negative tests grrrrrr

Sickness has proper hit me today I kept going really hot and clammy then I ended up puking into a tint bowl. I said we weren’t telling anyone until 12 weeks but I had to tell 2 girls that work in the salon too and also my poor client who must have been wondering what the hell was happening

Did anyone else have bad nausea? I was bad from waking up to about an hour ago and now I feel okay, still a bit off food and don’t wanna eat but not like on the verge of throwing up like I was this morning 😂

@Freddie15VES tbh I've been waiting for this cycle to actively ttc again so I'm not really hopeful I just want the thing to hurry up so I can get in the tww haha.

Oh sounds like pregnancy is in full swing! I had terrible nausea with my DS from the moment I opened my eyes 🤣 and the taste in my mouth I lived on chewys food just left a horrible taste. But 12 weeks I had the honeymoon stage and felt great so hopefully it won't last too long for you how many weeks are you now? Xx

How is everyone doing? I'm 9dpo but cycle day 27 with period due tomorrow and have got light pink nearly see through and brown when wiping so AF is about to rear her ugly head!!! I was so hopeful this month so I'm a bit gutted. I had no symptoms only my boobs got very swollen and had erect (.) (.) for the past 4 days or more, also seeing blue veins for the first time!! Hopefully She will arrive on time tomorrow because me and OH have a lovely trip planned Monday so atleast I'll be over it by then.

@Jadeypie im wondering whether this is something else as I feel rotten, achey and have chills. Probably a virus from my darling child 😂😩

5w 4d today and took these today, this is my first ‘milestone’ to get over since the miscarriage. My first like ‘something doesnt feel right’ feeling was when I took a test and it was 2-3 then over a week later it was still 2-3 this was when I was like 6w 2d so I thought something felt a bit off. Then I started bleeding at 6w 4d. So to get this at 5w 4d just gives me a bit of reassurance 🙏🏼🤞🏼

how’s everyone doing????

@Freddie15VES ah lovely! Those little milestones all add up don't they. All good signs for you here 🥰

Glad your feeling Abit reassured @Freddie15VES 🥰

@Freddie15VES I totally get that! Congratulations on your 3+ 🤩 and more importantly on having a bit of peace of mind

Af has finally started to show! I just knew it would when we are packed to go on our little holiday 🙄 anyway looks like I can finally start getting ready for ttc again which makes me feel all kinds of emotions but felling excited is definitely there 🥰

That's good news @Jadeypie and congrats on getting the 3+ @Freddie15VES - also congratulations on your positive @Hankthehonk I've just been catching up on the thread!

I'm in the really hungry stage but only for very specific things, also feeling more nauseous this time and off other foods so I'm a bit of a nightmare having to nip to the shop

Wish there was a way to keep checking things are ok in there but I know it's out of my control
