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

Awww @xxcxdonxx I'm so sorry you're going through that stress 😭 The fact that it's brown and you've no cramps is a really good sign and from what I've heard is totally normal as it's probably just old blood clearing out. I'm sure hearing that doesn't help at all though. Hopefully you get some reassurance from the epau tomorrow 🙏 xxx

They say that brown blood is usually old @xxcxdonxx especially if you don't have any pain. It's a horrible feeling when you see it though, I hope your scan tomorrow provides reassurance that everything is OK x

@Sez281 @HopeAndStrength thank you, I’m trying to stay positive and I know it can be number of things but I’ve got a bad gut feel.

I’m going to have a long day at work tomorrow waiting for the scan!!

Fingers crossed for you @xxcxdonxx it's the worst feeling in the world waiting for that scan. I'll say a little prayer for you 🙏 ❤️

Negative again for me today @Sez281 I tried to convince myself there was something but there really wasn't lol had some cramping this eve that reminded me of AF so we shall see. X

Best of luck today @xxcxdonxx Hope you're doing ok xx

@Westy22 those imaginary squinters are an so annoying. I think I was literally manifesting them. 😂 (the one on 8dpo was definitely an indent) How are you feeling today?

AF came with a vengeance on the plane over. It's actually the heaviest and most painful one I've had in a while and was only cd23 so I'm feeling very sorry for myself! 😭 Part of me feels like I need it though as I had very little bleeding with my CP and the cycle after was quite light too. I have endo/fibroids so I think I'm going to book doc for Monday after I get back to arrange a scan to see if they've grown. Also going to book in for 21 day pdg test this cycle to see what levels are like. Im going to be here on holidays for most of fertile window so going to try aim for every day during it 🤞

@xxcxdonxx sorry to hear about the spotting you must feel stressed but the fact it's brown is a good sign. Hopefully your scan can give you some reassurance 🤗

@Sez281 oh that's crap af has arrived but the positive least you can enjoy your holidays without the stress of the tww and who nos maybe you'll conceive your baby in another country haha

I've ordered some opks to start when I come of af am I assuming right that I will need to test once I come off because with my cycles being all o er the show I actually don't no when it could happen? Xx

Ahh really that's crap @Sez281 atleast you know where your at now and sounds like your body is resetting xx

Still negative this morning, dunno why I'm still even testing tbh but first thing I'm really hopeful 🤣 my cervix has gone super high and closed and I seem to be having increased CM but my body may just be getting ready for AF...who knows x

Roll on the next cycle for us all @Jadeypie @Sez281 xx

@Jadeypie @Sez281 @Westy22 thank you all, it’s not till late afternoon so it’s been a slow day. I’m feeling really nervous about it if I’m honest.
My 2yo managed to spill water on my laptop last night too so I unexpectedly had to come into work today to get that sorted just to add to the complexities of the day!!

Don't worry @Westy22 I have tested loads even tho af arrived haha I think it's just pure addiction!! Sounds promising about your cervix tho normally it drops down for af so fingers crossed xx

Aw @xxcxdonxx I'm sure the last thing you needed was to go in to work, but hopefully it makes the day go by faster for you x

@Jadeypie yeah definitely start opks as soon as AF finishes, I'll be doing the same as peak came very early last cycle. Pmsl about still testing, I'm seriously considering doing one later if it's lighter just in case it's implantation which I know of course it's not 🙈

@Westy22 that sounds really promising about cervix. Keeping everything crossed for you! 🤞

@xxcxdonxx hope your scans gone well I've been thinking of u today x

@Sez281 I'm going to have u hounded with these opk haha suppose it's another poas itch hahaha x

@Jadeypie thank you 🥰
She was able to see a pregnancy sac and yolk and the beginnings of a pregnancy but had to do an internal scan to get a better image. She said I was measuring 5 ‘and a bit’ weeks but according to my lmp I should be 6w3days. I know it’s not an exact science and depends on when I ovulated etc., I got my LH peak on cd16.
So at the moment, it’s not that everything is fine but it’s too early to really tell. I’ve to go back next week for a follow up where the baby should have grown enough so get a better image.

@xxcxdonxx sorry to hear you're still in a bit of limbo, as you say it could be down to when you ovulated after the peak. Hopefully the next week flies in for you xx

@Jadeypie 😂😂 Hound away! I'll be doing 2 a day from Friday I'd say. Luckily I brought a tonne of opks with me 😂

Thanks @sez, it’s at least a morning appointment next week so I don’t have a nervous day at work. I’m worried I’m just delaying bad news by another week but we shall see!
Sorry I’ve been so consumed by my own worries I’ve not properly read everyone else’s updates, I do like keeping track of how everyone’s doing though x

Oh my god don't be sorry, that's what this thread is here for! Has the spotting eased at all? I totally get your anxiety about the wait😫, at least you have the little one to keep you busy, and great that it's a morning appointment xx

Keeping fingers crossed for you @xxcxdonxx

Hi everyone,

Hope you don’t mind me joining in!

I had a missed miscarriage in June at 9 weeks, it was our first ever pregnancy. We caught quick with that pregnancy on the second month of trying, without tracking.

We started trying again last cycle and I was hoping we’d be one of those couples that got pregnant straight away after a miscarriage but it was unsuccessful.

I’m currently 6dpo on our second cycle of trying since the miscarriage and the days are dragging! I didn’t ovulate until cycle day 20 and my cycles are usually only 29 days long. Last month I ovulated on cycle day 16 so unsure why it took a little longer this month. Just praying my luteal phase is long enough for implantation this cycle!

Thanks @Sez281 @HopeAndStrength 💜

It’s been a bit lighter today which is good, had a bit more this evening but I’m sure that’s down to the earlier scan.
The midwife had said everything else looked good and just to keep taking care of myself so I’ll take that as a positive!

Fingers crossed everything is okay @xxcxdonxx xx

I'm so over this TWW now lol I swear in the last 2 cycles I've experienced every possible pregnancy symptom known to man and not been pregnant. This zinc supplement better work miracles 🤣 do I start temping? I didn't want to as it seems a faff but will it indicate more what's happening or make me ask more questions lol a fertility specialist I talk to now and again reckons it's the only way I'll truly know I'm ovulating. X

Hey @HaylsTtcAfterLoss

So sorry for your loss ❤️ I've been in the same position losing my very first pregnancy and also wanted to be pregnant straight away, I'm currently 12dpo approaching my third proper cycle since MC in May (took a while to get a period). I have no advice as I'm still very much ttc, but this group is a great way to vent and talk about it all with absolutely no judgement xxx even if you test 5 times a day lol

@xxcxdonxx I hope everything is okay, got my fingers crossed for you 💗

@Westy22 so sorry for your loss too, it’s so heartbreaking ❤️ Trying again is an absolute whirlwind of emotions isn’t it. I’m already symptom spotting which I know is silly cos it’s too early but can’t help myself. I’m trying to hang on until 10dpo before I test but it’s gonna be a struggle!

@xxcxdonxx sorry your having to go through this stress the waiting round for scans ect is just a killer! Hang in there as they say it could possibly be down to ovulation and implantation timing xx

@Sez281 my sticks arrived haha just need to wait now for af to bugger off. Do u test every day till you get your peak? What's the best times? Xx

@Westy22 they always say the months without the symptoms turn into BFP!! I hate the two it's pure mental torture xx

@HaylsTtcAfterLoss sorry to hear about your loss ❤️ I think we can all relate in wanting to be lucky and concieve straight away and when you don't, the urge just gets more desperate with each cycle! This is a great group because everyone has been in the same boat and then we have our lovely ladies with their BFP that just gives us hope and it's lovely hearing their pregnancies progressing xx
