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.

Hi everyone, I’ve been a bit quiet on here so there’s too many posts for me to catch up individually on. I hope everyone is doing ok.

Im now 1dpo, finally ovulated on CD34. 5.5 months after most recent loss and still no regularity to my cycles.
Have been feeling ok, mostly just trying to get on with life but with loss & TTC consuming my daily thoughts. Had a wobble with this week with 2 more pregnancy announcements from people I know

@Figtree11 sorry you're having a difficult week, but good that you finally ovulated, that must have been so frustrating - as it's Baby Loss Awareness Week I spend this week every year in a very reflective state so I feel a bit down.

I also helped out my neighbour doing the school run for her 4 year old and couldn't help thinking that if my first baby had survived, that would be my routine. Made me feel sad how much time has passed whilst trying to start a family.

I'm 3DPO today so we have a similar 2ww coming up xx

Thanks @moosey89 I’m pretty tired of the irregular cycles. I’ve told myself after the end of this cycle, I’ll make a GP appt. Also have my recurrent miscarriage appointment end of next month which is making me feel a bit better.

I’m sorry you’re feeling down, I agree about baby loss awareness week, I see it a lot on instagram so does make me reflect and think ‘this time last year’ as I was about 5 weeks pregnant. It’s difficult

It’s so hard when you think about where you’d be now with a baby. I was out for a family birthday meal the other night, and I kept thinking if my first baby made it, it would be there in its pushchair. Yet there I was with my glass of wine!

Oh that’s good that you’re 3dpo - we can survive the TWW together!

@EmTTC2 Huge congratulations to you. Prayers for a sticky bean xxxxx

9dpo today. Negative test so far but I have a bit of blood today. Period isn't due for another 5 days so a little concerned that the new vitamins have caused a short lutual phase and period is on its way. Never had an implantation bleeds so unsure if that is what is happening.
I did have suspected thrush last week on holiday and used some cream I got in turkey. Got some canesten arriving today but I am not having discharge any more. Not sure if the blood is thrush related so seems unlikely if having no other symptoms

@Mummysparrow was it much blood? I’ve had implantation bleeding just once, but for me it was really light, and only happened once. But know for others it can be a lot more.

3dpo for me today

@Figtree11 it's not a lot. Just red/pink on wiping

@Mummysparrow i hope it’s good news & not your period

Fingers crossed it’s implantation bleeding.
my BBT has dropped massively the last 2 days so I suspect AF will arrive tomorrow, which is what usually happens.

1dpo today! 🤞🏼

I don't know about dpo but my period is due in 11 days so I'll be joining you on the 2ww. Not sure how optimistic I am as spent 2 key nights squeezed in a toddler bed with my poorly 4yo.

Anyone lighting a candle tonight for the wave of light as part of baby loss awareness week?

I will be x

Yep

10dpo and still negative. I keep getting lines eyes staring at the tests 😭
Still bleeding a little and had some cramps this morning. On top of that I am clearly coming down with something as I have a slightly raised temperature 🤒

Yep I will be - bought a beautiful set of 3 candles to light for it, wanted something special. First year lighting 3 😓

That sounds lovely. But I’m so sorry you have 3 to light.
This time last year I had none to light, now I have two

I’m sorry, this TTC thing is so hard

It's so hard isn't it. Sending the biggest hugs xx

Hugs to you too ❤️

Yes got my four candles ready.

Baby 8 weeks pregnant August 22,
Baby 4 weeks pregnant - April 23.
Dara - stillborn at birth November 23

Miss and love all of you. Love and light to you all tonight ladies.

@Ella31 sending a huge hug to you. You are so missed on this thread xxx
Hope all is going smoothly for you x

I'm always here for a chat and thinking of you all everyday. I check in regularly to see how you are getting on xxx. I hope tonight brings you comfort.

And @Figtree11 really good to see ovulation back, even if it's late. Things are going in right direction

Sending love @Ella31 xx

Big hugs to you and everyone lighting candles tonight. I'll be doing so for the two I lost at 12 and 10 weeks that never came to be xx
