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.

6dpo for me, nothing to report other than boobs feel heavier and cramps last night but that's just normal hormonal changes I think this early on. I feel 'different' but i felt that last month and nothing came of it. Just trying to wait patiently but of course that never works. 😆 Going to distract myself over the weekend with the airshow being in town and hopefully good weather 👌

I'm 7dpo. When will you test?

@Ella31 Trying to hold out until Tuesday. How did you get on today? I thought my cycle was different to last month but I've checked symptoms to last month and pretty much like for like at the moment other than very light pink discharge at 3 and 4dpo and boobs feeling heavier. How you feeling? Xxx

I had cramps yesterday but ok today. I love definitely lost the hope aspect but I'm going to keep reminding myself the shock when i got my positive before. It can happen. On the funnier side, the doctor and midwife kept telling me yesterday what a lovely uterus and ovaries I have 😂😂😂😂 whatever the hell that means. 😂

How are you today? It's so varied though. I had ranging symptoms on all three of my pregnancies

What a compliment 😂 it definitely can happen ❤️

@Ella31 your uterus is fit for growing a bambino 💓 how was the progesterone? I think mine may be all over with the spotting. I think I have to wait 6 months from last pregnancy which I presume will be my chemical, but if I've not caught by then, I'm going to request mine to be checked.

Had the retest done today so won't know till Monday.
6 months? I'd imagine after 2 months you'd be ok. I think it takes about 6 weeks for hormones to regulate after early losses. I'd say you'll be fine. I had no issues with mine after my two miscarriages. And I'm hoping today's test will be the same.

Another pregnancy announcement from someone at work. Anyone else feel like it’s constant. I am regularly muting people on instagram

I've had to unfollow a number of accounts on instagram when they announced they were expecting their second... It was the best thing to do for self preservation. I was getting envious and upset with them that they had it so easy (without knowing anything about their stories of course). Do what's right for you, there's nothing wrong there!

@MisssMarion that’s how I feel, and obviously I don’t know if they’ve had difficulties conceiving or not, but it just feels so unfair. I can push away my thoughts on how I’m feeling sometimes, but it then just all comes back to me seeing announcement posts with scan pictures

@Figtree11 For me it was even celebrities announcing they were pregnant. I found it so hard to process. It felt anyone and everyone was getting pregnant around me and it felt like a personal attack 😅 but then yes I tried to remind myself that I knew nothing about their personal lives the same way most people don't know about mine. But I would definitely remove myself from situations that felt too difficult. How are you getting on otherwise? I hope your cycle regulates soon.

@Ella31 that's great news about the scan. And what a compliment! 😂 Hopefully your progesterone comes back where they want it to be, but if not I would indeed think it might be an easy fix?

@MisssMarion yeah I think that too about celebs - every week there’s a new announcement! I’m doing alright thank you. Every day feels like a week while waiting for some sign that everything is going back to normal. But just trying to get on with life as best I can. How are you?

There is a picture I would like to share because I believe all of us can relate to this. Thinking of all of you here.

So I've just had a potential spanner thrown in the works. Since Tuesday I've had pain in my abdomen area (knew it wasn't pregnancy/ttc related as I was on CD4 then). Tuesday was severe pain, had to take the day off work, spent the day writhing in pain with painkillers not touching it. Telephone appointment with the GP was useless. The only thing that stopped me going to a&e with the pain was the fear I would be told it was trapped wind and I just needed a fart 😂

Pain has improved alot since however I still have pain in my ribs. Finally got to see a GP face to face today and she said it could be gallstones! So I've been referred for a scan. My first question was "can I still keep TTC?" and she said yes which is good. Although I've just done a lot of reading on gallstones and gallbladder removal surgery and I just do not need this on top of trying to have a baby. However I also never want to go through that pain again 😅 so will just need to see how things go

@LucyCL very true!

@CadoAvo ouch! My friend had her gall bladder out when pregnant and all was fine. She was in a lot of pain too! Hope you're feeling better soon. When's your scan?

7dpo for me - nipples keep going semi hard (never do for me) and woke up this morning to a stuffy nose. Not reading anything into it though just yet. On a plus note, halfway through the 2ww! Hope all you ladies have a wonderful weekend. Treating myself to new hair this morning, something I hadn't managed to get round to with being pregnant, miscarrying twice over.

@DonnaWhat thanks, that's good to know! I've to wait for a scan appointment in the post but was told it could be weeks so just have to see. Getting bloods done on Monday to check liver function and then will need to wait for the scan.

Enjoy your new hair! I'm getting mine done in 2 weeks and it's been 10 months since I last had it done so I know the feeling 😂

@CadoAvo last had it done September. Loooooong overdue!

I'm sorry ladies that I go a bit crazy in these 2ww but whilst at hairdressers I got a pinching feeling right side of my belly button and while checking cm I have pink discharge. It's not blood. I spotted for 5 days before AF last cycle but it wasn't like this? Pics are covered incase of tmi. I don't want to get my hopes up and if it means I'm spotting before af then so be it. It wasn't when I wiped or in my undies, it came out on my finger when checking for dryness / wetness. What do you ladies think? Even if it's af atleast I have it here to come back to in the future, incase I have it again. Sorry for the rant ladies.

How many dpo did you say you were @DonnaWhat I did get discharge like that along with cramps last year before I found out I was pregnant. I don’t know what dpo I was though

7dpo so just trying not to read too much into it, but I still can't help myself 😆

I’d be the same! Really hope it’s good news. When do you plan to test?

Everything crossed its a good sign @DonnaWhat 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Figtree11 Probably Monday although I know I'll test tomorrow and get a bfn. 8dpo too early to show I think especially with that spotting.

@Onthedouble123 I'm not holding any hope, that way I won't be disappointed but 🤞

@DonnaWhat I totally get it. You take the self preservation route and we've got you for the hopeful one 💕 xx

@DonnaWhat I've got everything crossed for you it's a good sign! 8 dpo is very early though for testing so don't draw any early conclusion if bfn... like @Onthedouble123 said we're all here rooting for you!
