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 ❤️❤️❤️

Ignore the above it's definitely dropping now so I feel like this was ovulation rather than the first time xxx Now I'm back to 1dpo 😩🤣

@Westy22 well good look in this tww I have everything crossed for you!! My AF is due tomorrow according to AP. I done a test yesterday and got what I suspect is a EVAP line it was ridiculously faint and I couldnt even tell if it had colour or not so I'm planning on testing in the morning. I feel like AF is on the the way of it shows am getting myself a bottle of wine these tww has drove me insane 🤣🤣

@Jadeypie that does sound kind of promising! Keep us updated with test tomorrow, hopefully you won't have to open the wine 🤞😂 @Westy22 Fingers crossed for you, it sounds like you covered all bases so hopefully the tww doesn't drag out too much! 🥴 I'm all over the place at the moment, really strange twinges the whole time and still no idea where I am 🙈

Ah keep us updated @Jadeypie 🤞🤞

I can't believe I'm back at 1dpo 🤣 this is going to be a long arse tww. I feel like I'll need a wine tomorrow eve 🤣

Ahh @Sez281 hopefully it settles down for you, I must admit I feel so much more these days, the cramping I had all weekend must of been getting ready to ovulate 👀 which I've never had before.

I've started taking low dose aspirin 🙈 I've decided it's not going to do me any harm and I've read lots of positive things about it helping 🤞

Bfn ladies. AF due today had a few cramps (nothing major) last night so I'm assuming it's on its way!

@Westy22 fingers crossed sending lots of luck xx

@Sez281 if feels like soon as you decide to start ttc our body just goes up the wall! Where do you think you are in your cycle?

AF has officially arrived. Bittersweet but the positives are 1. It's on time 2. I have a bottle of wine waiting 3. New cycle new approach (try and relax)

Fingers crossed anyone who's going into their tww hoping to see some more positives soon 🥰🥰

@Jadeypie super positive way of looking at things. In my last few months before my bfp I always tried to find positives with AF coming and it made it a little bit easier! Your time will come huni ❤️xxx

@Jadeypie sorry to hear that but love your attitude! Also remember, this could be Day 1 of your next pregnancy 😊 Enjoy that vino! X

Ah sorry to hear that @Jadeypie but yes it’s great news that it has arrived on time and didn’t keep you waiting. Enjoy your wine, it’s well deserved 😍
I went out for dinner and drinks with my friends last weekend, my first bit of alcohol in months but it was magical just to relax and enjoy xx

@Westy22 I'm hearing a lot of things about baby aspirin too. I think I'm gonna go to my doc next week for bloods because I haven't felt right since my CP so might make sure there's no hcg left (even though all my tests are neg) so might ask her about aspirin too. I also think the pre ovulation twinges are a really good sign. Ever since my ERPC mine have been intense but I weirdly like it cos I feel everything is working. I have endo and my scan in Dec showed large fibroids but since my MMC they have practically disappeared so I'm taking that as a positive 🙏

@Jadeypie sorry to hear that but the fact that it was on time is a really good sign. Enjoy the wine! 😘I'm feeling really positive too, not necessarily for this cycle but I'm so sure I'm going to get a BFP in next few months. Like you my plan is to relax a bit more (if I can 🙈😂) I haven't a clue where I am in cycle. I mean I'm on day 13 which would usually be around ovulation day in my 26d cycle but because of the CP my app thinks I'm in a 31 day cycle and won't be ov for another 6 days so will just have to wait and see 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the love ladies ❤️

Ah sorry @jadeypie enjoy your wine tho and get ready for a new month ❤️

@Sez281 sounds like a plan, I don't have a good relationship with my GP tbh and I know she would dismiss the idea of taking anything so I'm not even asking lol she still hasn't seen me once since pregnancy/mc and only ever wants ever wants a phonecall. I feel like printing the new pregnancy loss review info off and whacking her in the face with it 🙈🤣

I'm trying to zone out of this tww but it's so hard and it's only day 2 🤣🤣 I've literally exhausted all potential pregnancy symptoms these last few weeks because they have all turned out as nothing 🤣 so I'm like maybe if I notice nothing that's a sign 🤣🤣

Hey guys, so sorry I’ve been awful on here. Life’s been mental!!!! I’m self employed and business has just been none stop 🤯 having a bit of a weird wobble over here too so I’m sorry if this is a long one -

my Brothers sister and I are really close, she’s known about the MC and knew from the start when I found out I was pregnant. Fast forward to now, she’s all of a sudden told me she’s actually 12 weeks pregnant. So she’s 2 weeks ahead of me which is very exciting! I love her to absolute bits but she can be VERY ‘me me me’ and all of a sudden now, asking how I’m feeling or asking anything about upcoming appointments etc has all stopped. Now it’s just about her, how she’s feeling, what symptoms she’s having, her worries etc. I feel like my little baby has just been pushed to the back burner now….do I sound stupid

im also a bit like why wouldn’t she tell me?!

like I say she’s been married to my brother for years - he’s older than me by 13 years so I’ve known her a lot of my life. She is lovely and I love her but she is also a little narcissistic so I can’t help but question every action - this one being I feel like she’s kept this secret to have more of a WOW impact and to take the shine off us. If you knew her you’d get what I mean!

but anyway, 11 weeks pregnant officially today. Got my scan in just over a week 💖💖💖

Oh my god baby brain - brothers WIFE not sister 😂😂😂

Aww @Freddie15VES that's pretty shitty, totally get where you're coming from. Has she struggled with ttc? Maybe that's why she kept it quiet for so long, or maybe she was trying not to steal your thunder, even though she actually ended up doing exactly that 🙄 Try to zone out of it as much as you can and enjoy your precious moments. So exciting that you're nearly at 12 weeks 🥰

@Westy22 can you look at changing docs? I had the same problem with mine during covid, it was my childhood doctor and never considered switching him but had a few bad experiences like waiting days for appointments etc and a friend mentioned an excellent doc near me and luckily she managed to squeeze me in. It was the best thing I ever did. The morn I got my BFP in Feb I called and she saw me an hour later, had a few signs that things might not go well so she prescribed me cyclogest straight away (I have friends that have had to beg their doctors for it) after my MMC she even called me a couple of times to see how I was doing. I feel so lucky to know that when I get my BFP I'll be in good hands so its definitely something you should consider if you can (although I know it's next to impossible for a lot of gps to take on new patients these days 🥴)

Hi guys another updated from me. I had what looked like the tiniest wee bit of pink tinged when I wiped last night and had a sinking feeling and now on my second wipe this morning there was brown tinged discharge like a full wipe but no more. I am obviously thinking the absolute worst I am sick to my stomach and can't shake the fact that I think something is wrong. I'm 5+4 today :(

@Strawb28 so sorry to hear you feel frantic it's totally understandable. Spotting is perfectly normal but I totally get the scare I would be the same if it gets heavy or you have some.pain with it call the epu to see if they can give u a check up. But definitely remember it's very normal to spot exspecially if you've had sex or when going for a number two xx

Aww @Strawb28 please try not to worry too much. As @Jadeypie a little bit can be perfectly normal, I think the brown indicates old blood leaving your system. Unless cramping or proper blood then try not to worry. I totally get it though and I know I'd be the same. As @Jadeypie says maybe call doc in the morn and try to get epau appointment for some reassurance xx

@Jadeypie @Sez281 thanks so much for the reassurance. I'm a but gutted because I got my 3+ on clear blue yesterday morning so was feeling so good and now this has happened. Test is still super positive this morning I'm just a bit crampy and extremely worried. I know they can't do much until I'm 6 weeks because they don't usually see a heartbeat until this time :(

@Freddie15VES that sucks that your SIL is being a bit selfish and making you feel this way. But hopefully once she's used to her news being out there things will rebalance and you can enjoy having someone close to you pregnant at the same time. And those cousins will be just a few weeks apart. My cousin and I were born 4 weeks apart (my mum and her sister pregnant together) and we were raised together, we're incredibly close and I've always felt lucky to have that relationship. Just trying to look on the bright side!

@Strawb28 I'd be stressed too but as others have said there is every chance things are just fine! I hope you can get some reassurance from epu soon, you should contact them even though you're not 6 weeks yet, there might be something they can do

As the others have said @Strawb28 this can be totally normal, but I would ring EPU as they can still check things even if its still early xx fingers crossed for you xx

My OPK have started to show a rise again 🙈 at 3dpo tho is it normal for it to be so up and down? It's was very low yesterday

I am considering changing doctors as it would be nice to have someone who cares @Sez281 just need to find one taking on lol x

@Strawb28 honestly I had this for the entire first trimester with my first pregnancy. Literally every couple of weeks there’d be blood, whether it old/brown or pink tinged! And my 2 year old is here now and absolutely mental. Try not to worry - worrying won’t stop anything bad from happening but will just make you feel even more shite. Positive vibes!!!!

@Freddie15VES thank you so much! It makes me feel better knowing it can have a very happy outcome! Will keep an eye on it for a couple of days. Seems to be gone again now but I'm not convinced! I'm so on edge!

@Westy22 and @Hankthehonk yes I think I'll ring my Dr's tomorrow and see what they say. I've an early scan booked for when I'm 7 weeks but maybe they'll offer me an earlier one? X

How are you @Strawb28 xxx

Hi @Westy22 i nearly lost my life yesterday because I had 4 or 5 drops of fresh red spotting! I thought that was it I was devestated but I haven't had anything since that and that was almost 24 hours ago. Ive booked myself for a private 6 week scan on Wednesday I am so scared but I know i can only hope for the best 🤞
