TTC after loss part 5

[Ella31]

Just continuing our old thread. I've added anyone who has asked to stay on here. As always, anyone who is trying after a loss is welcome to join and those who have been lucky since are welcome to encourage those who are still waiting for their rainbow (if you want to stay of course )

Also for the next thread, I'm going to let someone else take over creating the new one if people don't mind. I've a lot on at the moment with tests and I'm back to work in the next few weeks after my bereavement leave with my boys. So if anyone would like to take the mantle, feel free.

Im 2dpo today and have another ultrasound on Wednesday to see if follicle has burst followed by pdg blood test.

@moosey89 @CadoAvo ❤️❤️

For those that would like to join the WhatsApp just send me a pm with your numbers and I'll add you 😊 it's a lovely supportive group of girls!

Just catching up on all the chat. Congratulations to everyone who has had their BFP! 🎉 I'm 8dpo today. Slight cramping & very tired. My BBT chart is following the same pattern as the last time I got a BFP, so fingers crossed 🤞

@Figtree11 @CadoAvo your time will come ladies and hopefully not too long 🤞🤞where are you both in your cycles xxxxx

Should be ovulating on Friday 🤞🏼

Congratulations and I hope your line gets darker!❤

I have downloaded the app called Pregnancy after loss and a book called Zoe Clark-Coates which teaches me how to relax etc.

Try to be positive and learn how to relax such as taking deep breaths. Also I find it useful to thank my body and heart to keep me and the poppy seed alive at the end of each day. Then I say “ I did well”. It definitely helps to reduce my anxiety.

@LucyCL I love that you do that

@EmTTC2 sounds promising! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 How long will you be able to hang on til testing? Xx

@Ella31 @DonnaWhat I also have joined the pregnancy after loss WhatsApp group and I look forward to sharing the journey with you. ❤

All three of my previous pregnancies I’ve been lucky enough to fall pregnant our very first month. First resulted in DS now three, 2nd resulted in a second trimester loss for my beautiful daughter and the third a loss at 12 weeks. I’ve just done my second month and I’m not pregnant. And I know that’s nothing at all but I’m just frustrated. The only think I’ve done differently is started taking coq10 and omega 3. So you think I should just go back to basics and just take a prenatal?

My experience might help. I fell month 1, month 3, and month 1 again. First two early losses. My third loss - third trimester twin loss at birth.

After my sons death it's taken me 8 months to get my bfp this month. I finally realised this month that my losses obviously wreaked havoc on my body particularly when I lost my sons. What I did differently this month was...I lived a little. Exercise, healthy food, and I came off all prenatal bar a natural form of folic acid and vit d. It will happen. It isn't a science that because you conceive first go, you always will. If that was the case, I would have. I really believe my mind and body put a stop on me for the past 8 months because of the physical and mental grief. You lost a baby in trimester 2, your daughter and another loss after. Your body is learning to cope and recover.

It will happen for you. Not "if" but "when"

@Nic2908 my experience probably contradicts you but I hadn't had a sniff of a positive since our loss in November until a BFP early June the first month of taking 600mg coq10.
I honestly think we can drive ourselves insane working out the best tactics and approach. In the end though I guess we have no idea what "works" and what doesn't. We just have to keep trying til that one month where the stars align and our bodies do their thing!
I think you just have to do what you feel is best and trust you will get there! Xx

It’s just so hard to keep the faith isn’t it. It’s so cruel when we have already been through so much. I definitely need to look after myself more. Maybe I should make that my focus over being pregnant, then maybe the puzzle pieces will fit together

I ended up testing tonight. It was only a 45 minute hold, but I've convinced myself I can see something! Husband can't see anything. It's been 7 weeks since my loss (i tested negative after it), so hoping that this comes to something x

@CadoAvo we're very close together in our cycle this month - I should be ovulating Thur or Fri. X

I think u can see some sort of shadow. Are you going to test again in the morning?

@NiNic2908 that's my focus ATM too (and the 3 kids at home for the holidays too ☺️) I'm working through a miscarriage devotional, starting couch 2 5k again (pregnancy stopped me last time) and I'm planning to go back to slimming world as carrying extra baby weight is breaking my heart. @EmTTC2 I can definitely see it! Eek!

@LucyCL That's a really nice practice, I did it last night and def helped. To be honest breathing exercises have been suggested by several people (pelvic floor physio, and physio!) over the past year, I really should do them.

I've been using the Easy at Home cheap strips, my ovulation kit came with 20 of them, so I have loads and I can see a bit of progression in the line, I think, it certainly comes up quicker. It's hard to see much when they're dried, but I can take pics in the app and see a clear increase. Only 11DPO.. which is insane as it's been 2 days since the first positive test, but feels like weeks!

Ah yes ! I have been feeling super super anxious since last Friday (10 dpo) and I knew people who just got their BFPs would be like me too. So, that is why I decided to share this here!❤️ Fingers crossed for the line progression!

So I’m cd28, no confirmed ovulation yet although my bbt has been raised for the last 7 days but my app still says awaiting ovulation.
I’ve just been to the bathroom and when I wiped I got this brown watery discharge…. Put a panty liner on and been for a 4 mile walk, came home and nothing on the liner, but some brown water discharge on the paper again.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Usually when AF arrives it hits straight with bright red and lots of it, I’ve read online it could be old blood making its way out. I had very mild cramp almost hardly noticeable this morning but nothing since

@Ncl31 cd31 for me & no sign of ovulation either. Feeling pretty deflated
