Hey girl, I haven’t posted loads of messages on this thread but was involved earlier in the month and November.

I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through and for your loss it’s truly heartbreaking 😟.

I went on to get my BFP on 4th December but I am starring down the barrel at what I think is a blighted ovum / early MMC. I had a scan over the weekend due to some one sided pain and spotting, I thought I was 5+1,but was told my gest sac is measuring almost a week behind (my dates were accurate as I had ovu confirmed on a scan this month) I am back for a rescan on Xmas Eve where they should be able to determine the outcome as they presumed I just got my dates wrong and didn’t want to listen initially, but suspect I’ll be dealing with the same grief and pain soon.

I remember you from earlier in the thread.
this sounds very similar to me, I had a scan at what I thought was 7 weeks but I was measuring a week behind, plus no fetal pole or yolk sac visable. I was sent for 3 lots of blood tests and my bHcG was remaining static. Went for one more scan and started bleeding before I left the hospital at what should have been 8 weeks exactly. Blighted ovum was never mentioned specifically but I think that’s what it is? Thinking of you and this pain right before Christmas is so unfair. It’s 1 year and 2 days since my last miscarriage and my partners birthday.. so shit x

TRIGGER WARNING MMC

Hi again, I miscarried last night at 8 weeks, after knowing for a week that the baby wasn’t developing (early scan, empty sac). I guess I’d like to join back in TTC soon, not sure how my cycle will line back up with everyone here but I’d like to stick around anyway.
I’m in a lot of pain at the moment, though I’m fairly sure I passed the pregnancy last night. Hoping the pain subsides soon and my cycle returns to normality.

So sorry for.your loss x

Kay1578 · 20/12/2024 07:13

Morning girlie's. Someone else tell me this top test is deffo negative. That was taken at 11pm last night. We baby danced at about 5am and at 7am I got a strong positive opk. Normally I've just made sure we baby danced the day of the positive ASAP but my temp went up slightly this am. You don't think I missed it already do you? Was negative all day yesterday. I obsessively tested 6 times 🤣🤣

I think when the gest sac is there and nothing else it’s classed as a blighted ovum / Anembryonic pregnancy. Basically a pregnancy where there was no embryo.

I’m so sorry you’ve been through this and had previous MC too. It’s so horrible isn’t it 💔 life feels so cruel and at this time of year too!!

I’m also really anxious that when they deliver bad news to me on Xmas Eve I’ve somehow to go keep up appearances on Xmas day with my full family who have no clue what’s going on when I will be breaking inside 🫠 I can’t believe 2 weeks ago I was on cloud 9, thinking about how I could announce the news at Xmas to now feeling like this. It’s a lot to deal with! I still feel like I am holding onto a bit of hope for good news, but realistically I just can’t see how things could have caught up.

@Kay1578 the top one is defiantly negative! It’s crazy how quick it changes!

They look normal to me. Darker for your peak and then back light after your surge x

Scarily quick. Making sure we get some baby making in today. I'm finding it strange how much my cycle has changed since breastfeeding. I've always had a 33 day cycle since I was a teenager. Not one pregnancy has changed it. Now I seem to be having 23 day cycles. Just got my positive opk on CD12. Ahh well we go away for Xmas on Monday so at least I don't need to worry about testing for ovulation and fitting in adult time etc lol. And hopefully it will make the 2ww fly by. Guessing I'll be able to test around new years day.
How are you getting on? Xx

Em3009 · 20/12/2024 10:44

@Kay1578 our bodies do amazing things but it’s also strange how much they can change especially when you’ve had the same for so long! Hopefully it means you can just relax whilst you go away!

I’m doing ok thank you - believe I’m 7DPO today, getting desperate to test but I know it’s too soon. Still super tired, so hungry yesterday I couldn’t stop eating lol. Had a couple of waves of nausea but I’m trying to be mindful it could all be PMS and it’s just new to me! Plan on testing Monday at 10 DPO if I can hold out haha!

I'm tempted not to temp to be honest with you. Cause watching it rise and fall is super stressful. You get a drop and its on your mind for 24 hours till you can temp again. I mean it's great overall, but it makes for a long, stressful 2ww xx

Em3009 · 22/12/2024 03:55

@Kay1578 ive found the temping stressful - mines gone down again this morning but i did have to take it on less then 3 hours consecutive sleep 🤷‍♀️ im defo testing tomorrow when I finish work but im scared 🤣

Girls I think I might be having implantation bleeding? I've just wiped and seen a bit of pink on the tissue and I'm cramping very badly today. AF isn't due for 8 days

Awww yea definately could just be too early. I didn't get a positive till 11dpo last time and 10 with my youngest. At 9 it was completely negative. Fingers crossed for tomorrow xx

Em3009 · 22/12/2024 14:07

@Kay1578 thank you 🤞 I won’t be able to test until around lunchtime because of work tomorrow 🙃
