Please tag others I’ve blatantly forgotten! And welcome to the new thread!

I think I'm really miscarrying now... I had spotting that started late in the afternoon and now I have light bleeding 😔 my nipples don't hurt and my breasts don't hurt either. Oh well... This might be the end of this story... 😔

@AnaFox so sorry 😔, just sending hugs

Thanks ❤️ I'm definitely miscarrying... I have heavy bleeding and cramps... I think this third pregnancy definitely won't happen now... I just need to come to peace with it...

@AnaFox I'm so so sorry. 😢❤️ I'm thinking of you and sending hugs and peace

Oh @AnaFox, I’m so sorry, it’s so cruel to get the chance to hope and that being taken away. Sending strength as you go through this

@AnaFox how are you? ❤️

Hi, thank you for asking <3
I'm ok, I bled for the same time as a normal period. I was quite happy that I stopped bleeding.
Now I'm waiting to get signs of fertility... I haven't seen any EWCM, not sure what's happening.
I took a pregnancy test last week, a week after I miscarried, and it was negative. There was something there but I think it was an evap.
I'm a bit less negative now, so I think I'm ready to try again lol I did cry a lot, but I'm ok now. I'm just afraid it might happen again, because of my age... DH isn't very convinced about having another because it will be more worries about another child, our attention yet more divided, our money more... spent lol having to buy another car....... I understand his view of things, but I really want another!....
Anyway, does anyone know how long after a chemical one does get the cycle back up and running?

Coming to the end of cycle 29 (!!! 🤯) now. Pretty sure I'm out as my One Step this morning at 11dpo was as about as snowy white as you can get, but I've given myself line eye by staring at the bloody thing so much, willing that second one to suddenly pop up 🤪. AF due tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm so over all of this, but at the same time haven't got the willpower to stop, although I turn 42 in July so feel I need to soon, and just concentrate on enjoying my two existing beautiful daughters.

I'm glad you're feeling more positive now! 💚
It's such a bit adjustment isn't it but doesn't take away from us wanting another regardless. If the feelings there....it's there!!
After my chemical last Sept, I had delayed ovulation the following cycle (I think C21) xx

Just an update on me.....had a scan last week and found heartbeat, rescan today no heartbeat. I'm absolutely crushed. I'd be 8 weeks tomorrow. Think this is known as a silent miscarriage as I've had no cramping/bleeding. Waiting for hospital to call 💔💔💔

I'm so sorry 😔😔 it's just not fair 😔 my heart is broken for you 💔 sending you massive hugs ❤️❤️❤️

@WhatTheEll so sorry 😞, please look after yourself!!!! 💔

Thank you 💔

I was seen privately on Friday and my NHS hospital won't rescan me until Weds (earliest availability). Can you believe I'm being left with this news for 5 days. It's disgusting. Luckily it's not my first rodeo and I know how this goes. I'm not leaving Weds without meds as I just want this over and done with now 😢

It's just cruel 😖 I'm so sorry 😔😔

Do you have insurance so that you could do it privately?

This wait makes no sense 😖

@AnaFox no insurance but I just pay and go private anyway....however, private couldn't see me until Weds night! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I get the wait lists currently, but c'mon. Take my money! 😵‍💫
I've started bleeding now but it's still taking too long.

It seems like your body is already doing its job, which might make it easier if you take the meds. I really hope it happens quickly so you can get it over with 😔

I'm so sorry you're going through this 😔

@AnaFox thank you 🙏🏻❤️

If we go again, it will be after the summer now. Need a mental and physical break.

How are you doing?

I'm ok, thank you for asking... Been trying to figure out if I want another child or not... Deep within me I know I want another baby, but my rational side says it's madness... I think it's fear talking... Fear of not being enough for my 2 children, of failing as a mother in general, fear of pregnancy and the stress it creates on my body (and to which I had a little sneak peek during the week I was pregnant), fear of what it will mean logistically to have a third, fear of the tiredness of taking care of a newborn at 41 (I'll turn 42 in 4 months).... But I'm open to continue trying and seeing what happens...

I'm just in the beginning of my 1st cycle post miscarriage, on the last...ish day of my period... We'll see what happens...

@AnaFox All your fears are completely justified. It's so so scary when thinking about slotting in a third. When you become pregnant I feel like it takes all the "what ifs" away because it's happened!
I feel pressure to give my DD a sibling as DS has severe special needs and they have a limited relationship because of that.

I wish you so much luck ❤️

I do admit I had moments when my head was spinning when I was pregnant just thinking about the future 🤦🏻‍♀️ but yeah, if I get pregnant all of this will be put to the side, we'd manage I think ♥️

And I wish you all the best @WhatTheEll ❤️ I really hope you manage to give your DD another sibling 🥺

I haven't logged in for a long time but it looks like no one has messaged since summer...whats happening with everyone's journey?

Since my miscarriage in April I basically gave up... I haven't taken any supplements, I don't think it will happen now. I'm 42 and it's just getting too late :( I had no idea at 40 that it would be too late for this to happen....

How about you? And everyone else?

Had a mmc end of October at 9w, still waiting for periods to return.. We are discussing either donor route or try ivf with testing try, but my DH said no more naturally after mmc surgery.. Or we might just do a full stop. I am 42 and it is very tough. Our friends did have success getting normal embryos with ivf but it was long and difficult mentally and physically
