Starting thread number 4, can you believe it? Congrats to everyone who has been lucky the last few threads and for those who have had recent losses again or new, keep strong, you are amazing. To those still trying, it will happen, myself included there and we will support each other.

I'll just include a foreward for anyone new who joins us, this is a supportive group for anyone who has had a loss, no matter how early or late. Everyone here has experieced the upset and understands.

Ive gone through the list and more than likely left people out so add anyone you think I've forgotten.

@Ella31 @DonnaWhat @Figtree11 @jellyfish2 thanks everyone, was definitely an anxious night wondering whether cramps were going to arrive.

I did ring EPU, they were awful, wanted nothing to do with me..didn't even ask how big the clot was and said to ring 111 if it continued. Thankfully the bleeding stopped and at my last scan baby measured over 10 weeks so hoping on Monday at my 12 week scan everything will be okay. But as I say, you never know and I'm preparing for the worst just in case

I've said it before, they don't seem to give a crap if you have issues under 12 weeks. It's a travesty. Try not to worry, I've ever finger crossed for you. Xx

I'm ovulating today or tomorrow. Dtd every other day and got a call from my obestrician today to say I don't need a hycosy as my section 7 months ago showed my tubes were clear and healthy. Feeling hopeful this month.

Hope everyone else is doing well

Edited

I'm hopeful for you too 🙂 x

@ThelastRolo20 i bet it was a shock to see the discharge. I know so many people who had spotting in early pregnancy where everything is fine so I’m sure it is with you too. I know how stomach lurching it can be though. Have everything crossed for you on Monday. I have full on scan anxiety now so I’ll be thinking of you as it takes a lot of courage to walk in there.

@Ella31 that’s great, sounds like such a positive month for you

No update from me. Blood test on Friday so should get the results back towards end of next week on whether I can TTC again. Just wish my period would hurry up!

The scan anxiety is real. I think I still have some unprocessed trauma around my last 12 week scan, can't believe that was almost 9 months ago.

The big difference this time is that I'll make sure they don't turn the big TV on until they see a heartbeat. It was on the whole time last time and it was horrible. Thankfully this week has been really busy so it's going by quickly!

Really really hope your blood test confirms you're good to go! I have a positive feeling it will be ❤️

Lovedatforme · 03/07/2024 20:26

@ThelastRolo20 Sending you positive vibes for your scan on Monday, hope all goes well!

Figtree11 · 03/07/2024 20:31

@ThelastRolo20 that’s a good idea about asking for the screen off. It was on for me too & I just had to stare at the ceiling. Sends a wave of panic through me just thinking about that experience. Sending you a big handhold.
@Ella31 @ThelastRolo20 thanks, hoping I don’t have to wait too long next week for the first result of the blood test

Figtree11 · 03/07/2024 20:33

@ThelastRolo20 forgot to say, so sorry the EPU have been so bad. I’ve only ever had positive experiences of being seen by them with bleeding. So it’s awful that care isn’t consistent & compassionate across different trusts

Funnily enough they've been great until this point and gave an early scan for reassurance. I think I just got the wrong person but she was so disinterested and didn't even ask questions.

Thank goodness my mental health is generally okay, as otherwise that lack of support could have been quite damaging when we already feel so vulnerable

DonnaWhat · 03/07/2024 20:45

@Ella31 looks like I've caught upto you bar a few days with ovulation then 😊

@jellyfish2 I really do hope it's a good sign, I'm becoming more obsessive as the months go by.

@ThelastRolo20 I can't wait to hear all about your scan on Monday, as nervous as you are, I'm sure all will be OK.

@Onthedouble123 How are you?

I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been through this. EPU shouldn’t be dismissive about these things. I hope you get the best news on Monday - I’m sure you will.

Ncl31 · 04/07/2024 06:43

@Ella31 looking at my BBT I think I may have ovulated in the last couple of days. It has consistently gone up.
I didn’t do OPKs after Saturday morning as I decided to leave them at home. just waiting for my OvuSense to confirm ovulation but that sometimes doesn’t happen until 4-5DPO.

fingers crossed for us all entering the TWW

Blueskies4 · 04/07/2024 11:03

@ThelastRolo20 ah it’s so rotten to have to wait when you’re worrying - I’m sorry you had a shitty epu experience.. I’ve had a mixed bag in the past and the good care makes such a difference.

Sending tonnes of luck for Monday and hope the weekend goes quickly for you x

Lovedatforme · 04/07/2024 14:28

Oh wow the first period after the miscarriage has been horrendous, way worse than usual.

That's great @Ncl31 , you can completely switch off now. I dropped the opks for the most part bar one two days ago. Definitely feel lighter without them.

The first one can be heavier - if it's too heavy though do ring them ❤️ I hope it's not too painful at least x

ThelastRolo20 · 04/07/2024 15:37

@Blueskies4 @DonnaWhat @Ncl31 thank you, positivity really helps ❤️ will be sure to update you all on Monday.

I'm going for a reflexology appointment on Saturday in the meantime and watching cricket on Sunday so have plenty to distract me x

So heavy and super painful. I have endometriosis so used to quite bad pain and it's soooo bad. Gosh I cannot wait to feel normal again 😓

Reflexology is aaaaaamazing😍 hope you zone out and fall asleep. Had one yesterday

DonnaWhat · 04/07/2024 21:28

@ThelastRolo20 I've had reflexology once and loved it 💗 Super relaxing.

@Ella31 I was hoping to see my test spike ready for tomorrow but it's still low. Got some mild cramps so hopefully the start of a spike tomorrow, although at a funeral tomorrow day and courteeners tomorrow night. Hopefully get the fella drunk enough and take advantage 😆

@Lovedatforme I hope you're doing OK, first one is always the worst. Feet up and plenty of rest x

Ella31 · 04/07/2024 21:41

I'm ovulating today. Went along with the every second day approach. Don't know why I feel so anxious that it isn't enough.

@DonnaWhat I bet it will be tomorrow for you. My surge is so quick. Comes out of nowhere.

@Lovedatforme poor thing. First one is really tough.

I imagine you're anxious because it feels like you're doing "less" to get pregnant. But statistically this is just as effective, potentially more so 🙂 you're now in the TWW then? ❤️
