I caved. It's a bit fat arsing negative! Oh jeez it's so stressful. I know I'm still only 11DPO - and it could still be a positive in a few days but I feel it's unlikely and AF will make her unwelcome appearance over the weekend.

@Ella31 well since the MC I've had every symptom going and it feels like they go on for the best part of a week leading up to AF- so I've been so hopeful and then so disappointed each time. Had cramps, nausea, weird taste in mouth, sore hips, etc etc.

With my 3 living children al pregnancies I didn't know about til more like 6 weeks, and never tracked cycles or had to try at all! I am approaching 41 now though so age is against me!!

@TeapotRo you're more than welcome to join but sorry to see you here also. I'm glad despite complications all went well, I'm 2.5 weeks post surgery.

I totally understand the need to immediately try again, there's no medical reason not to so if that's what you decide go for it! That's what I did after my first MC but I fell pregnant the cycle after my next period (which didn't work out but was a lot earlier so must have just been a chromosome issue).

I hope your recovery goes well ❤️ was this your first pregnancy? X

ThelastRolo20 · 09/02/2024 08:42

@RaisingCornishWildlings ah sorry about the BFN, our bodies really do make us think we're pregnant with the symptoms sometimes don't they!

Ella31 · 09/02/2024 08:59

Oh ladies 12dpo - bfn. No sign of period either. But I'm so anxious. I'm now on cycle day 37 - I've never had a cycle this long. All its doing is making me worry about my fertility.

RaisingCornishWildlings · 09/02/2024 09:02

Oh @Ella31 I'm sorry that's so rubbish. Hopefully it's just hormones levelling out for you 🤞🤞

It's just the most awful and stressful time TTC- and throwing in losses and heartache makes it even more unbearable

@Ella31 it's so easy to worry but this is so within the realms of normal ❤️ maybe speak to your GP to get some reassurance/ a plan if it continues not to show.

Failing that, plan something nice this weekend and go out in white trousers...it'll show then 😂

Haha definitely, the weirdest thing is I've had cramps for 4 days, pink cm 4 day ago and sore boobs.

I'm booked in to see the gp at 12.

I really hope you are right. I think I was just so shocked last month when it appeared back for the first time only 9 days after ovulation so this month it seems to be taking the pi## out of me🤣

Like I definitely have been very anxious this month. So maybe that's a factor

Claudiasaz · 09/02/2024 09:48

@RaisingCornishWildlings I'm sorry but big fat arsing negative cracked me up. I bet you are hilarious in "real life" 🤣🤣 you will get the positive it's coming for us. We're the OG's here 🙏😂 xx

Claudiasaz · 09/02/2024 09:51

@TeapotRo I'm so sorry. Sending lots of love to you. Sounds like you had a tough time in surgery too. Really surprised by memory box and teddy! That's so nice and hope it helped to be a little comforting in a horrible situation.

I think they say to wait until your first period for dating purposes really more than anything. Just give yourself time to grieve and see when you feel ready. Xxxx

Blueskies4 · 09/02/2024 10:05

Welcome to the new ladies… really sorry to hear about your miscarriages 🥺 this group is really super helpful for the support.

In terms of my miscarriages, they’ve all been different in terms of time before I’ve tested negative and my period has arrived (as early as 3 weeks when I miscarried at 13 weeks and 6/7 weeks when I had a 6 week MC) and completely random in relation to the gestation.

Im 13 days DPO and BFN, but I didn’t expect to be this month tbh as my cycles are wild atm!

@RaisingCornishWildlings sorry for your BFN it’s so disappointing isn’t it.

New thread, new positives coming for us I think!!

Ella31 · 09/02/2024 10:12

TeapotRo · 09/02/2024 07:47

Hi all, please can I join?
I'm so sorry for all your losses.

I had surgical management yesterday following a missed miscarriage at just over 10weeks. It had stopped growing only shortly before. I had a complication in that they said there was a lot in there to remove and I bled excessively during the op as they tried to remove it all but luckily it turned out okay and I was allowed home the same day, just much later on and after extra blood tests and another Dr review. Despite the complication, it was actually relatively pleasant, as much as it can be with it being an awful thing to go through. The staff were all lovely, the pain after just felt like my usual period cramps and I only bled heavily for a short time afterwards. Also the memory box and teddy I was given were so sweet.

It all feels a little confusing now though as there's no sort of follow up or chance to ask further questions, just contact them if my tests aren't negative by 3 weeks.

I didn't ask about trying again and they didn't tell me anything, but a big part of me wants to try straight away without waiting for a period first but I don't know if this is a bad idea. The main reason I've seen to wait for a period is for dating purposes but an early scan or two can do that. I just feel that if this keeps happening then I shouldn't waste time.

Could you ring the hospital and ask for a point of contact - you deserve aftercare after your loss. As for trying again. Mu own experience after a mc is I got pregnant with twins straight after and I did carry them to 29 weeks - that loss was completely separate to mc, it was very bad luck. So see how you feel and obviously see how you are physically.

Just wanted to give you that bit of hope and I'm so sorry for your loss. Your precious baby is always with you xx

Ella31 · 09/02/2024 12:27

Just in doctors ladies, going to request a hgt blood test. She'll probably think I'm crazy but I'm getting constant very very faint lines on clear blue within 3 mins that aren't progressing for the last 4 days. Late period I think and pms symtoms as well pink discharge a few days ago.

I'm literally practicing how to explain this to her in my head 🤣

ThelastRolo20 · 09/02/2024 12:49

@Ella31 hopefully you can get some answers, do you think there could be a chance you're pregnant?

emmatcc1 · 09/02/2024 12:56

I went to get checked if everything passed and they said there’s just a little bit left probably the lining didn’t shed all the way and they kept me in and gave methergine injection. Can I just say hospital food is disgusting.

ThelastRolo20 · 09/02/2024 12:49

Only slightly, due to my spotting and no sign of period. The blood test will hopefully clear things up.

You absolutely can. It's vile. How are you feeling today?

Figtree11 · 09/02/2024 15:26

Hi all, just joining you on this thread 😊
I had a 10 week loss towards the end of last year. I am trying to track ovulation, but it shows no sign of happening.
Feeling very fed up. I desperately want to be pregnant. I am surrounded by pregnant ladies at work & in my personal life, and today I just feel like screaming & shouting! Life isn’t fair.
Sending hugs to you all x

emmatcc1 · 09/02/2024 16:14

@Ella31 There wasn’t really that much that passed after the injection but they did another ultrasound and everything looks good. I decided to wait a cycle or two and then ttc again.

ThelastRolo20 · 09/02/2024 16:27

@Figtree11 welcome - lots of people here in the same boat ❤️ hope ovulation comes soon!

@emmatcc1 we'll be on a break together then, hospital isn't the best I agree 😂

Ella31 · 09/02/2024 17:17

So ladies I think Af arrived. However I ended up having a smear test today as I haven't had one in 4 years. So came home and I'm bleeding but it has gotten heavier. I'm thinking this is af. God if I wasn't confused already

miamiamia869 · 09/02/2024 17:20

@Ella31 how did you get on at the doctors?. How long do you have to wait for results.

Welcome to all the newbies. Been super busy last couple days so unable to post much

@Figtree11 you have joint a good group because we often feel like that. I had a bad few days beginning of week. So upset down fed up and stressed with it all. I too am surrounded by pregnsnt people. However I feel better now so you bad days will soon pass too. Atleast it's friday so you can have a big glass of wine or a big bar of choc and make yaself feel a little better x

Ended up having a smear as well as a blood test and then I come home and I'm bleeding - period heavy blood. I'm presuming it's af

Hi @Claudiasaz I agree. I feel quite alone in the outside world at the moment. I've had a few comments from people saying "you need to move on" and I have in a big way - getting out a lot and not shying away from life, but these people need to realise as well that its only 12 weeks since I buried my two baby boys. I've a nursery in my house thats ready to go but right now is frozen in time.

So thanks so much for the love. I'm hoping to see a lot of bpf's here.

Oh bless you, I’m so sorry you are going through this.
my DDIL Mc at 17 weeks, it would be due next month, their 1st baby, our 1st grandchild. To see how they suffered
wish I could magic it all ok for you all

Lovely and it takes the pressure of you as well. I hope you are treating yourself to something nice this weekend
