Thanks @Ella31 At work this morning someone I know asked me if I was ok & I burst into tears. But she shared with me that she had also had a MC in the past. Opening up to people does help I find

It really does. Trust me you aren't alone in this at all. Xxx

So sorry @DonnaWhat it’s so unfair.

Ive not been active on here for a little while as I was waiting to TTC after an ERPC 4 weeks ago. However had a call today saying the MC is a partial molar 😔 So my TTC journey is on pause now for who knows how long while I wait to be referred to a specialist centre in Sheffield for them to track my HCG levels as a very rare chance it can turn into cancer. Not how I was expecting this to go

I'm so sorry @Figtree11 that's awful. Hopefully given it's rare it'll all be ok but I know it'll be worrying. Hope you're ok.

Figtree11 · 30/05/2024 19:51

Thank you @Ella31 and @jellyfish2 x

@Figtree11 I'm sorry to see you're going through this but please know we are all here if you need to talk. I hope that it's the best outcome as can be for you. 💓

I got a BFN today so that confirms to me my pregnancy was chemical. Bleeding / discharge stopped last night, and little to no discharge today so just waiting for AF to rear her ugly head. Any one who has had a chemical, what can I expect these next few days? Will I be heavy flow etc? I just hope it doesn't arrive at work tomorrow. Had a little cramp before but that's gone too. Don't feel any "different" at the moment 😢

I didn’t have AF for a month after my chemical. I think the chemical itself is counted as day 1 of a new cycle

emmatcc1 · 30/05/2024 21:32

@DonnaWhat Bleeding is counted as period. Next comes ovulation. Sorry this has happened to you.

DonnaWhat · 30/05/2024 21:34

@B1989 @emmatcc1 I've not properly bled yet. Yesterday was brown discharge and a very little blood and today brown discharge, so when it comes, I count that as day 1?

emmatcc1 · 30/05/2024 21:39

@DonnaWhat Then I think the proper bleeding should follow very soon. This early on it would look like a normal period or at least that’s what I heard and you count it as cd1.

DonnaWhat · 30/05/2024 22:14

Thankyou @emmatcc1

How are all you ladies in your cycles this month? Where are you all upto? Xx

Onthedouble123 · 30/05/2024 22:33

@DonnaWhat I'm sorry about your update. I hope there isn't any more cramping etc for you.

I'm on CD 3. Feeling better after a meltdown a couple of days ago.

@Figtree11 I'm sorry you're going through all of that. Hard enough dealing with a loss, nevermind with complications. I hope your levels go down at a reassuring rate and you are cleared to try again as soon as you feel ready to.

@Ella31 is your meeting tomorrow? Will be thinking of you. I hope it's informative and comforting if possible. 💕

DonnaWhat · 30/05/2024 22:40

@Onthedouble123 glad to hear you're feeling better. You have every right to have meltdowns. Our hormones and feelings are always going to be all.over the place. Nothing is just ever the same since losing a baby and trying to conceive. Hopefully this month is your month 🙏

mountainlass · 30/05/2024 22:55

@DonnaWhat Hi I've just jumped on and caught up with the past few days of posts. I am so sorry you're experiencing a chemical, it really is so cruel. I had one in March and like you I found out by my tests going from positive to negative, my bleeding started 2 days later so it shouldn't be long for you. I counted my first proper day of bleeding as CD1 and I ovulated 5 days later than usual that cycle so just be prepared Incase that happens to you. The bleeding was just like a heavy period and thankfully I didn't have much pain. This was my 2nd pregnancy after loosing our daughter at Christmas at 20 weeks due to a rare genetic issue. It devastated us, currently we are second cycle after the chemical and praying our luck turns 🤞 I've seen so many positive stories of woman conceiving and going on to having healthy pregnancies post chemical so I pray that will be us soon. Take care of yourself, always here to chat if you need it ❤️

DonnaWhat · 30/05/2024 23:10

@mountainlass thankyou for your words, and I'm sorry to hear about your loss late in to pregnancy and your early loss too. Its not easy. Sorry to see you're on this thread but welcome at the same time. I'm hoping I get my period on Saturday, don't think I can deal with the coming on at work although it's just me and my boss tomorrow so an easy day of admin. I had an MMC in march at 12 weeks and got pregnant with my chemical after my first period so I'm hoping for a sticky baby soon. Lots of our amazing women on this thread have gone on to have sticky beans lately so they're keeping the chain going for us all to join soon I hope.

Donna im so sorry. I hooe you are ok. I had a chemical @DonnaWhat just before I conceived my twins. My bloods went up in blood test but then dropped. My tests were high but then got lower each day. I bled like a very light period.

It took 8 weeks to ovulate but I did and I got my beautiful sons that as you know what took them at 29 weeks was a random, rare twin condition. So all I will say is, it is terrible luck darling. You will be ok

I'm so sorry and if you need to talk reach out. You will be ok. Xxxx

@DonnaWhat I'm so sorry lovely, I hope you're okay and have support xx

Ella31 · 31/05/2024 09:14

@DonnaWhat your bleed from this isn't a proper period, just to be aware of that love. So you could get your period very quick after the bleed or might take a while. Just so you know. I'm so sorry this has happened. Xx

It is today thanks 😊 I'm nervous but oddly calm. Genuinely think there's little that can shake me now tbh.

@Ella31 you're genuinely inspirational how you've handled everything you've been through but are still one of the first to come up with words of support for the rest of us. 💕💕

Aw thank you. I've had my little melt downs over the last few months too and you all have been great.

I've convinced my oh to go for lunch after and the sun is shinning today so I'm doing this now as closure and one last gift to my little boys. Final chapter of their story really.

Thanks so much. I actually am. I love my sons so much and this is for them. I also had amazing care when this happened so I'm happy to go in and see people again. They kept my Adam alive for 4 days and gave my oh and I a chance to feel like his parents. They also took such care of my Dara when he was born sleeping. It's a thankless job in the baby loss units.

Thinking of you @Ella31 Going for lunch after sounds nice in the sunshine x

Ella31 · 31/05/2024 18:31

Thank you everyone. Really pleased with the results. Confirmed my beautiful boys were taken by a rare twin condition that was acute and fast acting. Nothing could have stopped it. They also tested their genetics and they were perfect. No issues, perfect little boys who got very unlucky. It's a bitter sweet day for us but my doctor also confirmed she expects me to be pregnant again. There is hope. Cried a lot today and miss Adam and Dara so much. But there is peace and relief here too
