TTC May 2023 💖 Previous MC March 2023 (thread 2)

[Sez281]

Hi ladies, just thought I'd create a new thread for anybody that wants to continue.
@Jadeypie
@Westy22
@Freddie15VES
@fleur89
@Strawb28
@DmcinT
@HopeAndStrength
@xxcxdonxx
And @SnookyPook for if/when you feel like you might want to come back xx

Sorry if I've forgotten anybody, I realise most of you guys have had your BFPs and there's only a few off us left waiting, but at least you know the thread is here so come back and keep us updated with all your lovely pregnancy stories 😊 For those of us still here, hopefully it won't be too much longer 🙏💖 xx

@SnookyPook totally get it!! Keeping everything crossed for you and you don't have to wait too long for your results. It's a awful wait for the phone call or will you be staying in for them? I will be hoping for a positive update from you sending love xxx

@Sez281 I had a faint line last week and the epu is going to call tomorrow to check my test result so I’ll do one again in the morning. So weird to say but really hoping it’s negative.
@Jadeypie I’m not quite sure where I am, I’ve been doing opks but just getting a faint line so something is happening in there at least.
I’m back to doing my seed cycling so will see if that makes any difference 🤞🏻

@SnookyPook You poor thing, it's the worst limbo in the world. I know as I was in a very similar situation in Jan, my first scan showed a PUL and I had to wait for 2 weeks until next scan which surprisingly showed the sac but the wait was torture, weirdly it would have been better for me not to have had the first and go through that torture so I understand why they'd prefer to do the bloods again first as hopefully you'll be further along. Really crossing everything for you 🙏🌈

@xxcxdonxx Its a strange feeling hoping my for them to be negative but hopefully it will be so you can put this party behind you and move forward, great that the opks are showing "something"

@Jadeypie Yeah it might be the fibroids or maybe a cyst or something I'm not sure. Strangely it has only happened to be once but it was around the same time last year and I'd not long had my flu injection so I'm wondering if that had anything to do with it 🤷‍♀️ Hope you're feeling a bit better now xx

Thanks guys. @Jadeypie I'm going in to hospital for the blood test at 15.30 so won't hear until later. But they will get it to me asap because depending on the outcome, they will book me in for a scan tomorrow morning.

@xxcxdonxx I remember that weird feeling of hoping for the negative test. It's a very bizarre time. Hope you're doing ok. X

Just to see if anyone has anything similar…the past few days I’ve had some brown spotting and some cramps but today I’ve had a bit of red blood. I’ll say to the epu when they call tomorrow but is this anything to be concerned about do you think or just hormones getting back into place?

The thought of having to go back in for more scans or procedures fills me with dread so hoping it’s nothing!

So I'm 9dpo according to apps but I have no idea when I actually ovulated tbh as I didn't track. I did early test as the cramps have been a bit weird and I got a faint line last night even tho the morning one was negative. I kinda wished I hadn't tbh as its a bit early and can obviously change fast!

I just feel odd this cycle, I never get cramps and when I've had the odd one it's been closer to AF whereas these have been on/off for a good few days. Going to leave a few days and see what happens x

@xxcxdonxx I didn't have that unfortunately once I had a negative I had nothing for like 8/9 weeks. I only bled for a few days during mmc and then nothing at all xx like you say tho could be your body adjusting x

@Westy22 oh I'll keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

@xxcxdonxx hopefully just your body settling down still but definitely worth a mention when they call.

Everything around TTC and loss etc all just takes so much patience doesn't it. And in the meantime, we're meant to just carry on with our lives. It's impossible sometimes. Sending big hugs to everyone today. X

@xxcxdonxx ugh that's so frustrating 😣 I'd agree with the others and say that it's just your bodies way of clearing everything out. Might be worth mentioning though I know the thoughts of going back in are awful. How many weeks has it been since your last bleed? Could this be your official AF?

@Westy22 oh wow that sounds really promising! What test did you use? Definitely try again later, some of them weirdly pick up better lines in the evening. Keep us updated 🙏🤞 xx

@SnookyPook it's great that they're prioritising you, hopefully you get an answer tonight xx

@Sez281 @SnookyPook @Westy22 thanks ladies, hopefully it’s just another weird and wonderful part of this journey 🤪

I passed everything about 3 weeks ago and bleed for maybe another week after that so it’s possible to be AF. Wouldn’t be a bad thing if it was actually as at least I’d know everything was back on track.

Sounds promising @Westy22 and thinking of you!

@Sez281 am with you on being fed up lol mmc in april and nothing since. Had internal scan. All was fine...i still felt somthing was wrong tho from the d&c...so....had a private saline scan which showed 2 small growths in the bloody implantation area 🙆‍♀️...so, now gona battle with the gyne consultant to fix it. Also scan showed i possibly ovulated on day 8 (day before the scan) but the clear blue has give me a flashy face today. Oh,n feel like am coming on. And shbg hormone is low. Lol...so.cracking on with dhea supps now and getting testosterone monitored at drs.didnt tell him i was on dhea (uk dosent seem to approve lol) just i was taking a testosterone supp. So yeah, another obsticle lol

Wow @Supertrooper101 you really have been through the mill too! 😣 Fair play for listening to your body and knowing something isn't right. I've convinced myself that I might have ashermans syndrome since my d&c as I have a lot of the symptoms. But then again it could be peri menopause 🤷‍♀️🙈 Is your gynae going to do a laparoscopy or anything to remove the adhesions? I'm really hoping the specialist books me in for a hysteroscooy as I just know that something isn't right 😕

@Sez281 well the private clinic said probably polyps, am going with ashermans too. I have no idea what fertility will say. She isnt all that and someone wiped me off there books so had to get back on. Then they put me under gyne not fertility. So when i was on the fone sorting all that out, the secretary basically gave it away that the fertility consultant was hard work lol so i said, well ive just paid 400pd for this scan, already raised my concerns i think the d&c messed me up but the clinic fobbed me off. So i said pre warn the consultant am coming in to get a hystercopy.lol she booked me in for 7th november. My dr said push it and tell em i want the gold treatment lol am just going to go in with prints from nhs sites re scarring d&c the growths what the nhs says they will do and just not budge. At the time i never realised what a d&c actually was. Am annoyed they give them so easily. Am 41 so age is a big thing, so like u, it could be that, but what if it isnt...

@Supertrooper101 good on you for standing your ground! 💪 I'm 41 too now so time isn't on my side either 🙈 I wouldn't mind but I left my appointment with the consultant 2 weeks ago so optimistic as she said everything looked fine on the scan. But looking back it was so strange that it was only cd6 and she saw a dominant follicle measuring 19mm and said I was nearly ready to ovulate (considering my ov day was cd22 the month before that's very inconsistent) Ever since I came off the Depo injection 18 months ago I've suffered really badly with ov and AF cramps (which my doc put down to endo/fibroids that were masked by the birth control) but ever since the d&c in March I'm cramping continuously throughout my whole cycle, it's so debilitating😞. I honestly don't know if it was the d&c that did it but I've another appointment on the 31st now and after experiencing 2 periods this cycle like you I'm just going to demand that they do something

I get brown spotting before af @xxcxdonxx for like a day or two then flow starts light then heavy. I agree with the others sounds like your body's just trying to adjust. I am convinced a loss can rewire your cycles tho so maybe that's what it's doing but defo worth a mention when u next get seen. Xx

@Westy22 oh wow sounds promising. How did u find the not tracking? I haven't this month either. I did notice some ewcm today for the first time in what feels like forever and a few leg and hip aches so I dtd just incase I'm ovulating late xx

@SnookyPook any news? Been thinking of you all day xx

@Jadeypie aw thank you - still waiting to hear about bloods.. 😬🤞🏻🙏

@Sez281 i used one step 10miu strips never used before so not sure how accurate they are. Everything just feels odd this time, boobs are sensitive Inc nipples which I've not had previous months, dull aches for a few days and weird cm like I've had loads of white and clear this evening and feel like wetter down there if that makes sense 🤣 I hate that word so I'm sorry if you all gag 🤣🤣 or maybe my true cycle routine is finally kicking in and I just don't recognise it lol afterall I was on the pill for 19 years 😱

Worried its probably a bit early and I've built my hopes up for nothing 🤣 but I'm mentally preparing for AF so it's not proper gutting when if it comes lol

@Jadeypie I've found it better mentally tbh however I dislike not knowing where I'm kind of at if you get me? But will probably get used to it. How about you?

Thanks everyone, I know it's silly to early test as it just makes you a bit mental 🤣 but you can't ignore it when your body starts giving you all crazy signals....almost whispering in your ear "do a test do as test" 😱🤣🤣

@Sez281 well i did reply and its vanished lol ive had what feels like implantation symptons every cycle. Headaches, bloating. Mood swings, cramps, lower back ache. Always 6ish days after ovulation. Then fine for a few days then my period. Never happened before the d&c . I wish i never had it. Really didnt know what i was choosing at the time and i wish that procedure wasnt so easily given 🤬.. dr said its pms..i think you will have more luck at your appointment than me lol did your scan confirm endo and fibroids or are they just guessing?

Had my 19 week scan today and all is looking really well. Breathing a big sigh of relief 😊😊 hope everyone is well. I'm keeping an eye on the thread and hope everyone is doing well! X

Aww, that’s wonderful news @Strawb28 Halfway mark now, exciting!!

@Supertrooper101 I'm torn to be honest. If god forbid it happened again I'd probably take surgery again over medical management as I had an awful experience after taking the tablets and ended up needing a d&c anyway 😢 I've attached the report from my scan last Dec, the radiographer actually asked me if I suffered with ovulation pain as my ovaries were very "sticky" so I definitely think it's time for a hysterecopy to investigate properly. Luckily I don't have to wait too long to see specialist again next week. I'll keep you updated. Hopefully you get answers soon

@Strawb28 Aww that's fantastic news. So exciting! 🥰 xx

@SnookyPook Hope you've had an update at this stage and are doing ok xx

So it seems that the bleeding I’ve had is in fact AF, here was me thinking I was gearing up to ovulation 🤣
It’s only been 3 weeks since I miscarried so I wondered if it was too soon as I didn’t notice any ovulation signs but the midwife at epu said it’s maybe just hormones readjusting etc. I still have a really faint positive pregnancy test too. All feels a bit odd but I’m sure everything will settle down in the next few weeks.

Hows everyone else doing?

@Strawb28 aww lovely news glad to see your update. I no 20 weeks seems far ahead but your half way there xx

@xxcxdonxx it's good af has arrived which indicates your body's doing what its supposed to do. Just means u can gesr up for next cycle with tracking ect xx

I keep getting shiny cm when wiping am taking it as a positive because I don't get this well I haven't in a long time and I think I've had ov pain on my left side so am hoping I've finally ovulated this month but time will tell I'm just glad I haven't had spotting this month!
