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.

Hopefully you hear back from the recurrent clinic soon. I found them very helpful. I just feel in limbo again now I haven't had a bfp in a year. Hopefully soon tho 🤞

@Babydust99 that’s good to know you found them helpful. I’m grateful they will see me after 2 losses instead of 3.
Sorry that you are struggling. It’s a tough journey to be on. I hope it’s not too long til a BFP

Yes my referral was put in after 2 losses aswell. They test for a quite a number of things so at least it will rule a lot out for you if nothing else.

Thanks all, much appreciated. I’m not counting my chickens until they’re hatched but feeling positive at the moment and determined to enjoy this pregnancy for as long as it lasts. @Ladyinpink1 wishing you all the luck in the world, feels like we’ve been on an epic journey together already!

Hi I hope you don’t mind me joining,

I am 39 close to 40. I had CP in May, I became pregnant straight after. I found out Saturday that we have lost the baby at 9 weeks, I went for a private scan at 9+3. I had seen the heartbeat at 6+1 and 7+1 so this was a shock no pain or bleeding and PG symptoms still now. I am booked for a D&C in a weeks time. I am absolutely broken and struggling to function. But I am so conscious of my age and TTC. Has anyone TTC after the bleeding has stopped after the D&C? X

Hi @Joleyjojo - I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had missed miscarriages, they are so awful after you've seen the heartbeat at earlier scans. We started trying again as soon as the bleeding stopped and I was in my next fertile window x

Thank you and sorry about your losses too. I know it’s important to be emotionally ready to TTC again but I just don’t have the time to wait. I will start LH testing when I have stopped bleeding. I am finding it so hard to start healing when I’m still carrying the baby. Just hurting so much. Xxx

i’m so sorry @Joleyjojo i have had 2 MMC so know how you must be feeling.
I think a lot of us TTC straight away, but only advice from me is to test negative before starting again, as I’ve seen a few threads where it’s then caused women confusion on if they are pregnant or if it’s leftover hcg

Hi @Joleyjojo welcome although wish you had no need to join.
I'm recovering from miscarriage too. I had one at 10 weeks a few weeks ago although I might have lost the pregnancy earlier. At 8 weeks overnight the all day nausea stopped overnight. The sickness and intermittent sickness continued and I was on antiemetics until 3-4 days after the miscarriage completed
It was awful having symptoms knowing the pregnancy was no more. Lots of self care and being kind to myself helped.
I bled for a few days then spotting for a bit longer. I am partially waiting for my period to ttc but we aren't taking precautions just going with our moods. It's not something that's on my mind right now. I still feel a bit vulnerable but feeling stronger every day and I think by the time my period does return I will feel ready for more intimacy. Based on some egg white discharge I might have ovulated earlier this week. I have been having my HCG regularly monitored and in the last 7 days it has gone from 150 to 20. So I'm hoping they will be back to normal in another week. Having numbers to follow has been helpful to manage my expectations and patience. I can't expect to jump back into normal life my body isn't and it's ok for my mind to take a few weeks too.

@Joleyjojo I understand that totally - I wanted to start trying again as soon as possible, trying again for me didn't change that I was grieving but it allowed me to keep trying to move forward at the same time. Something to do, as bad as that sounds!

So sorry I just returned to work after losing my boys so I'm wrecked. Yes I'm based in Ireland so the gp didn't blink giving it to me , I've heard the UK can be harder to get it? Maybe I'm wrong but if your progesterone is low, I can't see why they wouldn't.

I'm so sorry, that's so hard especially after seeing the heart beat. That's so unfair

A tentative congratulations

How has your return to work gone, lovely? X

Good. I'm so tired though. The evenings im very fatigued and nausea has started a little bit. I'll take every symptom going though. Happy to be feeling crap. Hope you are good @ThelastRolo20

Im so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how difficult it is still feeling the symptoms too.
I hope you get sorted soon and able to start TTC again as soon as you’re emotionally able.

Sorry @Joleyjojo I recognise you from other threads I think..I'm so sorry you here with a loss.

@Ncl31 how are you?

@Babydust99 sorry you are going onto cycle 25, the only tips I have is what I am on for hormones... ubiquinol and vitex (well along with a million other vitamins lol), maybe others will know of more.
I am also on cycle 14 and still no bfp (2 losses the year before) it's tough but I have seen a few ladies that were ttc along with me for the same amount of time get their bfp over the last month or so, so I am hopeful. x

I'm with you on the tests @moosey89 I was kind of hoping for an issue with mine so there was something I could fix x

Thank you so much @HerbaceousPerennial I really hope to be joining you soon and I wish you all the best... I have a good feeling about it for you this time xx

Sorry you had your first day back... the first is always the worst, hopefully tomorrow might be a little easier @Ella31 x

Hi @Joleyjojo I'm really sorry for your loss, it's so hard when you have had a scan showing things are good and get your hopes up x

After reading your comment, I am now having tears in my eyes. I am so sorry you have to go through this again... 😭I really really feel for you and it makes me sad to know this happened to you. I will be here if you need me.

Today and tomorrow are the dates of my 1st MC (6 weeks and 1 day) 😢and it is really not fun to be reminded of the MC anniversary. I lost my appetite 3 days ago and I felt so uncertain about my body. I still feel like I am a part of this group. So, I still come here to see how everyone is doing. I really hope things will get better for us.

Thanks. I'm taking proceive max so I'll check which of those are in it and see if I need to add them. I've found since taking proceive max that I ovulate earlier which I thought was a bit strange but probably not something to be worried about

9dpo and bfn ☹️🙄

@CadoAvo i hope it’s just early for you yet

@LucyCL hope you are ok. The anniversaries are the worst. The date of me first getting pregnant is approaching next month, and if I’m not pregnant by then I know I’ll feel down

I’ve not been testing for ovulation due to stupidly long cycle, but I’ve had some ewcm the past couple of days, and tender nipples today?! So I hope it means I’m ovulating, or at least my body is trying to ovulate

Thank you for asking. I really appreciate when someone asks how I am nowadays.❤ I am glad to be here because I can find the kind of support I need. I am trying to be positive and grateful. I used preseed during my fertile window then I stayed in bed for 15 mins every time after sex. I also took 75 g low dose baby aspirin from 1 DPO because I read that it could increase the chance of conceiving.
I wish you good luck for this cycle!!💝
@CadoAvo The earliest day was 10 dpo when I got a positive. So, only one day to go! : )

I’m doing okay I think, possibly ovulating soon - had a small rise on my OPK this evening so hopefully I will.
I told white lie to my DH that I wasn’t doing OPKs this month to release the pressure. he seems to have engaged in BD more this cycle.
