TTC after recurrent loss

[bringmearainbow]

Would anyone like to join me? I have had 3 losses in the past year last one being 3 weeks ago. I saw a private doctor last week so waiting for results of blood tests and in the meantime she told me to keep trying so that's what we're doing! I'm hoping I might ovulate soon 🤞🏼

Hey I would love to join! I haven’t had 3 losses so I guess it’s not considered recurrent but I have had 2 losses in the last 5 months. One at 5.5weeks and one at 14 weeks. I am also TTC and think I just ovulated so would love to join you :)

@MummaDaisy hey 👋🏼 honestly anyone can join me it's all a journey isn't it ❤️ so sorry for your losses. have you been tracking your cycle at all? I haven't bothered much yet I was a bit obsessed with tracking after the first 2 but so far I'm just going with whatever 🙈

Aw thank you for welcoming me ❤️Yeah I have been tracking and did ovulation tests but Thwy never got really dark so I’m not entirely sure if or when I ovulated 😅hoping I did though.
I wasn’t keen on tracking because of fear of it happening again but I’m trying to remain positive and I have a good feeling. 🤞🏽

Hi guys
Would also love to join.
I've had three miscarriages in the last year 1st 5 weeks 2nd a MMC at 11 weeks and my last was an ectopic at 6 weeks in February. We've just had our first round of basic testing which came back normal for me and my partner. Today we have had some further investigations for reccurent miscarriage which looks at Clotting and immune factors I believe... those results won't be back for about a month. So hopeful to start trying again once those results are back. We've just had a three month break due to a methotrexate injection I had for the ectopic.
I've never really reached out on these forums but I think I could do with some perspective of those who have been through similar to me. ❤️

@MummaDaisy got everything crossed that you did 🤞🏼 it's a rough journey I would have days where I felt really positive then days I was like why am I putting myself through this. How long ago was the last loss?

@Amyb87 welcome lovely. Did you get testing done with nhs or private? These forums have def helped me a lot through all of mine sometimes you just need people to chat to who get what it feels like. I love my DH but he just doesn't understand my yoyo feelings on it and honestly if he knew how many sticks I peed on he would think I was bonkers I'm sure 😅 what tests have you already had done?

I get my blood results on 15th and I have a scan on weds to check there's nothing sinister looking in my uterus but tbh she said it's unlikely because I had a D&C so everything was scraped out. I already know my thyroid tests are out of whack because by pure chance I had some blood tests done by the gp when I was 6 weeks and I got sent to a endocrinologist who repeated thyroid bloods day after my surgery and my results didn't look optimal so it will be interesting to see if anything else comes back or it's just my thyroid being crap

Hiya can I join, I’ve had two losses, one at 5 weeks the other at 10 weeks. It would be nice to chat to people who understand the whole anxiety of TTC after loss. I’m so sorry for all of you for your losses 🤍

Morning guys.
@J2023xx yes absolutely ❤️ thank you and im also so sorry to hear about your losses. Hopefully we can create a safe space here for us to all share our thoughts and feeling during the next few months.
@bringmearainbow We got referred to the reccurent miscarriage clinic by our local hospital but that was in Feb and haven't heard anything since. So we did decide to go private for testing. We had the usual sperm analysis for my partner and I had my AMH and AFC tesred which all came back normal. I thought it might because we seem to get pregnant ok but seem to have issues after. Yesterday we had the second lot of testing which they call reccurent miscarriage testing, I'm not sure exactly what it covers but I think it's Clotting disorders and some auto immune disorders. Maybe it's a bit over kill but I felt like after the 3rd I couldnt keep trying with out ticking a few boxes. Hopefully they come back and say its all been a case of bad 'luck'.
I couldn't agree more 😂 my DP is great but I feel like he doesn't carry the same sadness I carry with me.
Would this be your first baby?

@MummaDaisy Really hoping you guys have a some good news this month 🤞❤️

@bringmearainbow my last loss was a missed miscarriage. I found out 17th April and had medical management 21st April - on my birthday of all days 🙄😫

@Amyb87 thanks ❤️If I have ovulated then I am currently in my TWW so I’ll keep you all updated :)

Not TTC right now but just dropping in to say I had 3 miscarriages, then got pregnant with my DS. Keeping everything crossed for you all.
I took progesterone until 16 weeks with my DS.

Sorry ladies it's been a busy old couple of days 🙈 I went for my scan today before I see the dr again next week and annoyingly they've managed to leave some product in there 🙄 it's very small only about 3mm she said hopefully it will come out in my next period she also said my lining doesn't look great there's lots of blood and clots in there so I can't wait for all that to arrive with AF 🤦🏼‍♀️ she said I'm about to ovulate which I thought I might be as CM has started looking fertile she reckons it will happen in about 4 days there's lots of juicy good looking follicles there but we won't try this cycle now I want that tissue to come out first

@Amyb87 I think the wait on the nhs is about 6 months which is why we went private too. I def don't think it's overkill I think it's really hard not think there's something wrong when the 3rd rolls around and it's natural to want answers for it. I wanted answers after the 2nd but I just put it down to crappy luck 🙄 My dr didn't bother with those tests she said they weren't ness as like you we don't have a problem getting pregnant. No we have a DS who was 2 in feb we had zero problems with hun so this was such a shock. Do you have any DC?

@MummaDaisy awww lovely on your birthday that's really crappy 😢 I've got everything crossed for your tww 🤞🏼

@Thea91 thank you ❤️ it def helps to hear a positive outcome!

@bringmearainbow oh no sorry to hear there’s some retainer product :( but hopefully that comes out with AF🤞🏽My first period after MC was strangely light and I genuinely feel like I had a fertilised egg last cycle that tried to implant but couldn’t because my lining was so weak… I think it could’ve been a chemical but had no confirmation as doctors weren’t sure what was causing positive tests…

im hoping this is the cycle honestly. I’m just symptom spotting like crazy but I’m not even sure if I ovulated! I’ve been taking OPK’s but they never got as dark as the control, then got light again and then started getting dark again. I just don’t know what day I wouldve ovulated and I wanna test ASAP but don’t wanna waste expensive tests 😅😫

@MummaDaisy I had retained product with my last MC which wasn't confirmed with a scan because the nhs were short staffed the day I went for it and they sent me away but when I eventually got AF 10 weeks later it came out and was bloody huge 🙄 so I'm hoping this one won't be as large and will def come away 🤞🏼 what CD are you on now? I found my cycle went back to normal quickly after I had that first AF. Have you got any cheap IC tests you could waste if you get the urge to test least they don't cost much and it doesn't matter how many you do

@bringmearainbow oh that sounds awful :( I hope it’s not so bad for you this time round🤞🏽

im currently CD19 so normally would’ve definitely ovulated by now. My last cycle was 31 days from the day I delivered my baby so normal length for me - just a light period. Probably because my MC bleeding lasted nearly two weeks anyway so not much time for it to build up…

im thinking if definitely ovulated but I wanted to know the date because I don’t wanna waste my FRER 😫I do have cheap premom strip tests but I find they’re not great and don’t think they’ll pick up the pregnancy early on like FRER. I think I’ll use the strips to satisfy my testing obsession but I’ll take my FRER on the 15th which is supposedly 10 days post ovulation according to my tracking app🤷🏽‍♀️

@MummaDaisy how you getting on have you done any cheap strips yet?

My opk is on the rise think it will peak tonight 🤞🏼 least then I know and will be 11/12 days away and we can start trying properly

@bringmearainbow not done any cheap strips yet but definitely have been tempted to. But I know I’d just hurt my own feelings as it would be a BFN. I think I’m either 7/8DPO today and last time my first positive was 9DPO PM but it was so so so faint that I didn’t even tell my partner until I confirmed it the next day 😂😂I only have one FRER so I don’t wanna do it today or even tomorrow but I think I’ll start doing the cheap strip tests tomorrow morning :)
I’ll keep you updated 🤞🏽

im hoping the next few weeks goes by quickly for you and you can start trying 🎉x

@MummaDaisy ahhh yea good plan this last pregnancy I was so off from 7dpo I felt so not myself and I knew I was but nothing showed until 10dpo it was weird to know before I had a second line 😂

I haven't read the whole thread just the OP at the start and wanted to give some hope ❤️ I spent 2022 pregnant and miscarrying, not a single month unaffected, with back to back spontaneous losses. It's so heart breaking and the emotional toll is massive. I had all the blood tests and scans and they turned up nothing.
But I'm currently sat pinned under my newborn after a very anxious pregnancy that started with a threatened miscarriage and then followed taking twice daily progesterone suppositories up until 16w, here I am.
I was in your shoes last year and just wanted to wish you all the best for your TTC journey, be kind to yourselves!

@Teapleasemilknosugar so sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing what you’ve been through, it gives me hope for the future and congratulations on your baby ❤️

How’s everyone doing?

AF arrived today, this will be my second period since my second miscarriage and after a bit of a break we are ready to start TTC again, time to order some more OPKs xx

@Teapleasemilknosugar thank you and congrats ❤️ it's nice to hear positive stories!

@J2023xx ahhh glad your feeling ready to get on the TTC wagon. I still have a tonne from last time but I'm sure it won't take me long to get through them 🙈 hope AF isn't too bad for you have to say I'm not looking forward to mine arriving think it's going to be a rubbish one 😅 what CD do you normally O?

@bringmearainbow
yeah ive definitely been symptom spotting! I have the occasional twinges of pain and cramps and I’m like oh that could be implantation! And I have some VERY vivid dreams last night and they were about pregnancy so I’m hoping 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Just dropping in to say I also had 3 losses before my daughter was born in April. I remember after having 3 feeling really deflated and like it would never happen for me so just wanted to give you all a success story.

I'm not sure what made it successful but k was taking all the vitamins from Ot Starts With an Egg for 6 months and also took progesterone pessaries from 3dpo to 16 weeks for my successful pregnancy.

Good luck on future pregnancies!

@bringmearainbow I have some but not many so need to get more! Thanks I’m on holiday at the moment so that’s keeping me distracted. I usually ovulate sometime between day 12-14, how about you?

@MummaDaisy did you hold out or test this morning?

@chasingtherainbow1 thank you and congrats. I read the book after my first and have been taking a fortunes worth of vitamins since it's a really interesting read I thought.

@J2023xx oooh you anywhere nice? Holidays are always a good distraction. If I have calculated right I think I will O when we're on holiday. Not sure if that's good timing or not when you're away with a toddler 🤔😂 I'm normally CD 19/20/21 it's a pain having to wait longer I'm not the most patient

@bringmearainbow we’re in Rhodes, it’s lovely 😊 back tomorrow evening but seems as though the weather back home will be nice for the rest of the week so that’s good! Where are you heading off to?

yes I can imagine that’s quite a wait, I would definitely be impatient too! Xx

@J2023xx ooh lovely I don't think you'll be disappointed with the weather back home it's glorious ☀️ almost bordering on too hot when you can't just sit next to a pool though 😂 we haven't booked yet we were looking at Greece or turkey. I have one specific week I can go at work otherwise we will end up going in school holidays which as we don't need to I don't want to pay for 😬 I leave it up to DH to find us somewhere because I'm awful at picking out holiday 🙈
