Pregnancy after D&C

Hi everyone,

I am just wondering when any of you lovely ladies got caught pregnant after your D and C? I had mine back in May and I’ve had 1 period so far, I’m due on this Wednesday (10th July) I’m really hoping I don’t but I’m getting all the signs that I will.

I can’t bare to see another negative test and would love to hear some positive ones!

Lots of love to you all xxx

Well done for booking it, especially when you're feeling so apprehensive. It will be OK, I'll be thinking of you 💜 @Elles1980 xxx

@VenusStarr hey hi Hun all good here, sorry for radio silence - we have PILs over so have been very busy! Bleeding has just stopped and temps right down, I'm feeling good ;) will Start the cycle of TTC again when I ovulate next! When did you girls get BFN after early mc? And when did you ovulate again? Have you got your results back yet from the tests? Xxx and when is the surgery? Sounds great you can TTC after the surgery, and overwhelming Chance for a good outcome this time!

@Elles1980 hey hun I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so shit. You are not moaning, this is a great and safe place to vent! So you're also going for the surgery? When is it? I think it's great something is being done... if I have another mc I want to find out what wrong to fix it so I'm hopefully more relaxed next time TTC. I know it's scary though 😔 handhold xxx

@LASandOtto thanks for your wishes! How are you getting on? I'm hoping I can try again ASAP. I know they would offer me testing here already now if I wanted to but I've just decided against it and hoping it was flukes. I am a bit older at 36 so I guess it was never meant to be easy. I have already got the hormone testing done before even starting to try TTC and everything was normal, so I'll give it one more shot! My TSH level was 0.44.

The only thing I have is polycycstic ovaries, but I don't have the syndrome (hormones all fine and ovulating every month albeit late in the month). So fingers crossed....

Where are you at in your cycle? Baby dust to all of us ❤️

LASandOtto · 28/10/2019 09:25

Hey @SunStruck!

So so pleased you're well and you seem to have dealt with it all so well and bravely. Happy to hear you're feeling fine and that you're going to TTC again when you're ready. I think I'm having a funny cycle after this MC, started checking on OPKs to see what's going on and been on flashing smiley for about 5 days now or so. Curious to see if I will ovulate or not, but anyway; we are taking it chilled for now and we will see what happens. No pressure this month, I want to just enjoy myself!

Hope everyone else is ok! X

Elles1980 · 28/10/2019 09:41

Sooooo I woke up this morning no bleeding wahoooo 🎉🎉, then I thought oh my god I'm pregnant (only 8dpo) so half asleep did a test (stupid I know), but there are 2 lines. It's very faint and hard to pick up so I did that image thing like a crazy bitch and can see it a little clearer but still only faint. IV been all over the house in every room checking different light but it's there 😱, this rollercoaster is bigger than the one in Blackpool 🤯 xxx

Elles1980 · 28/10/2019 10:42

Sorry ladies super insensitive of me 😒, @SunStruck your being so so brave bless you, I'm so glad you have kept the positivity even with this going on, and you @LASandOtto I send you big hugs 🤗
@VenusStarr super exciting that soon you'll be able to carry on with lots of knowledge as to what's been going on with you. As for me I guess I'll have to test again in a couple of days to see if the line gets darker before I contact the hospital RG the hysteroscopy 🤷🏻‍♀️! For today I'm taking my little ladies out shopping and for tea (no school today so we all have the day off 🥰). I hope you ladies have a fab day xxx

SunStruck · 29/10/2019 01:29

Oh my god @Elles1980 how exciting!!! Have you tried again?! So wait you got a BFP 8 DPO???

Not insensitive at all... I couldn't be happier for you if this is the case! Please do keep me updated xxx

@LASandOtto don't worry it can be like this after mc, after my mmc and then d&c I had flashing smileys for 9 days before solid.... and lots of other women too. Hormones a bit all over the place after mc! Hope it will be shorter for you though as you had a natural mc xx

VenusStarr · 29/10/2019 06:24

Good to hear from you @SunStruck, glad you're feeling so positive. My negative with my first was about 2.5 weeks later. I didn't test this time round. Pleased to hear you're ready to continue :)

@Elles1980 that is great news! Really hoping this is your bfp. Are you testing again?

@LASandOtto the chilled approach sounds like a good plan. I've definitely felt better not tracking things (although I do still think about when we can ttc again)

My period arrived this morning. It's really bloody painful 😢 on the one hand I'm pleased my cycle has settled again quickly but my god, before I miscarried the first time, my periods were a none event but they've definitely changed since miscarriage.

It's our first due date on Saturday, feeling OK about it at the moment. We're going to a fireworks 🎇 display on Friday with my niece and nephew then off for a spa and dinner over the weekend xx

LASandOtto · 29/10/2019 10:17

@Elles1980 hahaha you make me laugh!!! Wow this is exciting news girl! So did you do another test? Let us know as the suspense is practically killing me? 🤞🏻😂

@VenusStarr your weekend sounds like it's filled with nice plans but of course the due date will be tough. I'll be thinking of you! I really hope the end of this year is kind to us and that 2020 is your year!!

@SunStruck are you all fine now? Are you going to jump back on the TTC train ASAP or having a break? The flashing smileys are just... ieuwwww I am sooooo over seeing them. Give my the bloody static smiley for crying out loud!

Elles1980 · 29/10/2019 14:25

I think it's still there but I don't know if I'm loosing my marbles.....and coincidentally got a letter from speck savers asking me to book an appointment 🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♀️?! Xxx

Elles1980 · 29/10/2019 14:36

Sorry I'm a total technophobe, tried to send those pictures attached to a massive essay and I don't know what I did lol,
@VenusStarr yes I'm 9dpo today and the test is exactly the same as yesterday, sometimes I look and I can see it other times I'm like....can I see it or am I imagining it 🤣! Had it confirmed by my best friend that it's there but it's very faint, I believe there called squinters here on Mumsnet lol!!
@SunStruck and @LASandOtto the resillance in you 3 ladies astounds me, I'm a little bit in awe but you ladies keep me strong from afar. I'd never open up so much to my friends because I'm the jokey, everything will always be ok one. I think for me to say I'm feeling shit or scared would rock the ground they stand on!! This TTC malarkey is one tough journey! I don't think I'll test again until Sunday (literally laughed in my own head at that haha), no Thursday earliest to see if it gets darker 😬, if not the trick and treaters are in for a fun evening hahaha!! I'm due af on Sunday so I hope it stays away and the lines get darker but after chemical in August I'll brace myself for the worst and it'll only get better, but if not I'm having the hysteroscopy on the 12th anyways so it's all good! Positive steps and all that jazz!! Hope you ladies are all well, sending hugs 💐 xxx

SunStruck · 29/10/2019 16:59

@Elles1980 I DEFINITELY see a faint line!!! 🤯😳 everything crossed that it sticks!!!! Please update us... such awesome news ❤️

Elles1980 · 29/10/2019 17:08

@SunStruck you do 🎉🎉, love tour eyes right now haha! I really don't want to tell anyone incase of the worst, I talk to you ladies more about this journey than even my partner.... So weird lol but true! So it's nice to be able to get a second opinion 🥰! Fingers crossed then! Very crampy this afternoon though 😬, I'm very aware of how I'm sitting, carrying things, moving, timing how long I'm sat on the toilet incase my insides fall out again 🤣🤣🤣! You ladies should block me now coz however this goes it's gonna be weird and wonderful 💃🤸‍♂️😂!! Xxx

LASandOtto · 29/10/2019 17:50

Hahaha @Elles1980 please, what we needed was some positivity and so thanks for delivering it to us via a BFP. Yeah I can see some lines and I've got my contacts in so you're safe 😂😂

This is exciting stuff, AND we got our offer accepted. I declare today is a great day 😊!So whilst I won't be holding a baby in my arms (yet) I'll now be holding keys to new digs in a few months, wooohoooo!

Hope everyone else is ok! X

SunStruck · 29/10/2019 18:06

@LASandOtto ohhh congrats!!! Love all the positivity 🥰😍😍😍😍😍

Elles1980 · 29/10/2019 19:14

And I love your contacts @LASandOtto!! Don't worry if this doesn't stick and I find out where you live you can hold me like a baby 😂🤔🤷🏻‍♀️!!! And a massive congratulations on your new home ❤️! Yes I must admit this thread has gotten me through the last month's that have been rather tough! My oh laughs at me coz I tell him my pals on Mumsnet say I'm normal pahaha!! It's nice to share terrible experiences and see you gals still hold your shit together.... It makes me want to do it 😂 xxx

LASandOtto · 29/10/2019 20:04

Reading your funny posts was literally the first time I managed to laugh after days of sadness after my second MC @Elles1980 😂 I was like wtf is that noise out my mouth, is that a laugh??? 🤔🤔 are you in stand to comedy or something??? Hahaha!

All the strong ladies on here are a godsend!!!!

Come and find me anytime, I'm in London and about to own a 3 bedroom flat. I'll have to get a cat or dog now as we've got nothing to put in the other 2 bedrooms we're now gonna have, unless of course we get that much wanted BFP minus another MC in 2020 (here's hopinnnnggggg)!!

Elles1980 · 29/10/2019 20:18

London....I'm in Cornwall, so if I fancy seeing a show I could just move in....omg we could have a Mumsnet room, pad it up like something out of American horror story (which I only watch in the day coz I'm a total chicken haha) and we can do fertility spells and drink gin.... @SunStruck has rancid vodka and I'll find crack ....@VenusStarr your on take away duty 😂🤣😂! No I'm no comedian, I mean I think I'm funny but alas I'm the only one in my household/workplace/town and probably county that does 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔😂! IV just got a sick sense of humour, I'm actually from Glasgow but moved here 20 odd years ago so actually the farmers have slowed this mental mind considerably in the time....I was hilarious before lol!
No 2020 we will all have babies, somehow even if I go undercover at the maternity ward and nick a few, I'm not fussy I don't mind gender or hair/eye colour so it'll be an easy task.....how much can you sell a baby for I wonder?! I also just wondered if anyone official watches these threads coz if I don't respond anymore it's coz I'm in my own padded room pmsl!! I forget it's not just the 5 of us on this thread (minus lea coz she was seemingly abducted, hope she's ok if she sees this do say hi) (haaaa she's probs like fuck that weirdos 😂🤣🤣) at least she's not deleted the thread 🥰! But yes youre right you ladies are a godsend, all hail Jesus.... Or Mumsnet.... Or the want to be mums.... Nah just us lot hail ourselves 🙌🏻👐🏻🤣 xxx

SunStruck · 01/11/2019 04:55

@VenusStarr hey, I'm thinking of you. How are you holding up? I saw in another thread it's your due date soon and that it's affecting you. I'm here for a hand hold, I do understand. My due date is in December, it's difficult ❤️ I also have fur babies (2 cats) and they are giving me great comfort when I'm sad too. Let's rejoice about that we have the best cats in the universe, and our rainbow babies will have the best fur siblings ☺️☺️☺️

@Elles1980 🤣🤣 have you done another test??? Is it looking darker? I'm so excited for you!

@LASandOtto wow so happy for you, whereabouts in London? I own a flat in SW London! I'm renting it out as I'm living abroad but it's such a nice place 🥰 where are you at in your cycle now? I'm buying a pregnancy test to do it tomorrow, hopefully BFP after my miscarriage so we can try again soon! X

Elles1980 · 01/11/2019 07:58

@SunStruck oh my days that's sooo exciting 😬, well I did another test this morning and expected to see a very dark line but sadly not! There's still a line but a very faint one just the teeniest bit darker and I have some light pink cm this morning also so I'm sure I know where it's headed 🙄! I'm ok though!
Living abroad, maybe we should have a room at yours haha!! Please let us know how you get on tomorrow.
Venus, I know how you feel my due date would have been Christmas day and I fear if I'm not pregnant it may just hit me right in the feels, so I totally understand the struggle. We were just approaching the "safe zone" 12 weeks and had our scan appointment waiting when I got discharged from hospital, it is a little soul destroying.
Lasandotto I hope your still managing to make funny noises from your mouth lol! Xxx

bbh1978 · 01/11/2019 08:14

Hi, I hope i can join this thread, since I am a little bit in the same situation, just miscarried a week ago (8 weeks pg), and everything is fine already, and I want to get ttc as soon as I can 😊 so I will keep an eye on how it goes, wishing you all the best.

LASandOtto · 01/11/2019 09:22

Hi Ladies!

@SunStruck in N4 and I am N7 at the moment. I used to live in that neck of the woods but when I met DH he had some sort of phobia about crossing the river, it's so ridiculous if he hadn't been so good looking I'd not have bothered to get to know him further 😂😂. We could have actually met up but I see you're abroad (nice!!) - whereabouts??

@Elles1980 keep us posted I am honestly crossing toes, fingers and bum cheeks together to hope this one is your rainbow!!! I was on the solid smileys yesterday and today, CD19 today if I couldn't miscarriage as CD1. We DTD which was great fun, I don't know why but I thought after two MCs it may start to get a bit strained in that department but actually quite the opposite!!

@VenusStarr I know we chatted on the other thread yesterday and you're currently not reading messages probably just trying to protect yourself and step away from all of this but just wanted to say I'm thinking of you, tomorrow is a tough day, we are here for you!!! Xxx

@bbh1978 welcome! Thankswhilst no one really wants to be here, I can only say that being here with these ladies has tremendously helped me keep my chin up and even have a giggle! Xx

Elles1980 · 01/11/2019 09:51

@bbh1978 I'm not sure if you've read much of this thread... I'll not speak for the other ladies ( there just the same as me really) but it's a bit mental .. I mean me I'm mental lol! TTC has made me slightly more evil than I used to be, I mean I'd never hurt a fly (I would I do it every summer) bit I do have thoughts, that I and the other ladies find amusing lol! Welcomed with open arms and hopefully you'll have a bfp soon 🥰!!
Oh no poor Venus, I wish there was something that could be don't to make it easier, sending virtual hugs when you do see this ❤️.
@LASandOtto not even kidding I'd love to see the crossed bum cheeks pal 🤣😂, bet your very good looking other half would be right across the bridge if he could see you doing weird shit like that pahaha! Must be quite a look, bit please don't get cramp on my behalf, nothing worse than a cramped cheek 🙈😂! My littelist lady (Eva 5) is poorly she was up most of the night with a crazy high temp and shitting all over the house (that looks like something from the Addams family coz I love a holiday and any excuse to decorate lol) so I have a cozy day in scruffs watch telly (probably horrid Henry 😭😭). Literally just questioned why I'm trying again.... Am I sadistic lol! I hope all all have a great weekend whatever you ladies have planned xxx

bbh1978 · 01/11/2019 09:57

@Elles1980 😜 yes I have read some of the thread, not all, but its seemed like it was a great (a bit crazy and fun) thread, just what I need for the time being, so great to be here 😀

@LASandOtto thanks, and no I wish I was on the pg thread, but this is my reality at the moment, and it seemed like a great (and open) bunch of ladies, a little bit my age as well 😊👍🏻

Elles1980 · 01/11/2019 11:14

I have to say these ladies have gotten me through a rough patch and I fear there more to come, it's nice i can be so open with people who actually understand the feelings that come with loss/TTC and generally being a bloody woman 🙄!! This is the first time iv ever used a forum and never knew what to expect, it took me a wee while to feel brave enough to comment on any post. Glad I did though! I'm almost 40 so have everyone telling me about the old clock ticking.... Have started to reply by saying I'm gonna take that click and ram it up yer arse if you say that again. Loads and loads of ladies have babies 35+ now it's not the dark ages 🤦🏻‍♀️!! In saying that I'm not the fertile old thing I used to be haha (won't be telling them that) IV had 4 children and 2 eptopics. This year I had a MC in may and a chemical in August, but I'm a glutten for punishment and would love one more with my new partner (he has none). So continue I shall!! Xxx

bbh1978 · 01/11/2019 11:41

@Elles1980 hehe Yes I can totally follow what you mean, I am even "older" 41 😜 and I have a 15 year old son (will be 16 soon). Have listen to my friends for the past years talking about the "older" woman having kids, that it was too old etc etc.... and I have been sitting there just wishing I was one of those "older moms" :) maybe now it can truly happen.

We have ttc for 15 years and nothing has ever happened... and now suddenly, I have lost alot of weight and my doctor put me on extra D-vitamin this summer and suddenly, I was pg? We where both in shock (a good shock 😉) - since we where not trying or anything, but in the "old" age and propably due to the weightloss my drive went to through the roof, which made my spouse very happy 😝 and me of course.. so actually we had given up on a sibling and just accepted it and were not ttc anymore - but than suddenly it just worked, very strange... but unfortunatly I lost it in week 8 - but after the miscarriage, i again really want a baby (it woke up some dreams in me) - but we would like to do the same as before (it was alot more fun and relaxing) than always looking at when/date/time etc... so my plan is to continue to take folicacid+vitamin D, keep the weight of and be healthy with a lot of "bed-gymnastic" 😅 (but I am going to see if I can figure out when I am ovulating, buy some sticks, (online though, since I live in very very small place where people talk ALOT 🙈) - and then cross my fingers that we still can concive, i would belive so, since it just worked 8 weeks ago🤞🏻😊
