Journey after miscarriage support thread March 2023

[SMG1992]

Hi All,

I've started a new thread as the other was at page 39.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm still just about in my fertile window - I got my LH surge yesterday.

The clocks going forward has hot me a little bit, but I'm looking forward to brighter evenings.

@SnookyPook @Ttc2023x @Lorddenning1 it’s tough isn’t it when it seems like everyone else is having babies around us. I get a wee pang of sadness when I see a bump that would have been my size by now. I still think about seeing that little heartbeat flutter on our initial scan and wondering how it changed so quickly.

Fingers crossed for us all to be making our announcements soon 🥰

How is everyone? Any hopeful updates?

@Ttc2023x my hopeful update is that it's fertile week and we've managed to dtd twice already despite crappy work shifts and a poorly toddler 💪 haha. Predicted ovulation Friday so hopefully we'll manage at least a couple more over the next couple of days to give us the best chance possible!

How is everyone else?!

@SnookyPook glad to see you posting and that you're feeling good about fertile week! I so hope this is your month for a bfp

@Hankthehonk Thanks lovely! Haha it's so weird on TTC forums when essentially everyone is cheering you on having lots of sex 😂😂 Fingers crossed for a BFP! How are you getting on? Are you managing to navigate the nerves/excitement tightrope? X

@SnookyPook Haha I know! The only thing that would be weirder I guess is talking about it with real life friends.
I'm doing OK, got a dye stealer yesterday so I've stopped testing. I get waves of anxiety/dread and really just trying to take it a day at a time. It's hard to believe I've only known I'm pregnant for 8 days. We're going away again this weekend so that will be a nice distraction. I told my mum and she was so excited and it made me more anxious that she was happy, I almost shouted at her not to get her hopes up

I have a hopeful update 🙂
I went for the follow up scan with a consultant from gynae yesterday. She said my womb is perfectly normal and definitely couldn't see any abnormalities. The "right sided mass" the sonographer saw on the private scan is a fibroid. Dr said it's tiny and hanging around on the outside of the womb not causing any bother. 🥳
I got my first period on Monday so am ready to start trying again soon.
Good luck to everyone ttc!

@Wanderlust86 i had the same and after 2 periods I had a scan and it had gone x

@Hankthehonk massive congratulations such lovely news xxx

@Hankthehonk awww massive congratulations!! That’s lovely news to hear 😀

@Chocolatebean @xxcxdonxx thank you both so much! I've lost track of which threads I've shared the news on. It's certainly a fresh phase of anxiety being pregnant again, hope creeps in sometimes but it almost hurts to be hopeful, the loss still feeling so fresh. I'm only 4w3d so trying to just take it a day at a time. Baby dust to you both

@Ttc2023x thanks for checking in.
Not really a hopeful update, I did think this might have been my month but I had some spotting from Saturday which has continued so I think I’m out for this month. I had the same last month too which seems to be a new thing for me!
High hopes for next month 🥰

How are you doing?

@Wanderlust86 great news on your scan and fingers crossed for the next few weeks for you 🤞🏻

Everything crossed!! Im heading into mine too so need to get in the mood 🤣

Aw love this update! Congratulations xxx

@Wanderlust86 that's brilliant news about your scan and really glad you're feeling hopeful!
Thanks @Ttc2023x :)

Last week was difficult as period arrived the same day my due date would have been but just have to keep going don't we. Good luck to you too!

Sorry I think I missed your post or didn't see it properly. Huge congratulations @Hankthehonk 🎊

@Hankthehonk congratulations ❤️❤️

@SnookyPook I’m also in my fertile week, first month properly TTC again, let’s see what happens 🌈

Sounds like lots of progress. Congrats @Hankthehonk 🥰

I feel like this is a safe space because nobody knows me. I’m off to Barcelona with the girls tomorrow and we’ve been TTC since the MC. My period isn’t due for another 8 days but thought I’d best test before consuming alcohol. Is this a squinter or am I going mad?

@Ttc2023x that date must be a toughie, sending lots of love. My due date would have been on my actual birthday so they'll be no forgetting that one when it arrives x

@Nmvasey85 I can see something...! If I were you I'd try another test brand, frer or boots early if you can get your hands on them. Fingers crossed!

I went to try get an FR test but they didn’t have any, any idea who stocks?

Ive got a clear blue ultra early digital test, I’ll take a test at 4.30 in the morning before heading to the airport 😬

@Nmvasey85 i can see something there too!
That’s a very early start for you, good luck for tomorrow and have a great trip 😍

@SnookyPook that’s a great update 💃🏼 Hoping for ur bfp this cycle 🙏🏽 And @Wanderlust86 that’s positive on the scan, not long until ur FW too, everything crossed x

@Ttc2023x things like those landing on certain dates are so tough, it’s like when ppl announce their pregnancy around the same time u would have. It’s such a mixture of happiness for them but sadness for urself, hope ur doing ok❤️

@Hankthehonk I hear u on telling ppl and them being so excited for u but it making u more nervous, I’ve had the same with anyone I’ve told (only 4 ppl). How have u been feeling symptom wise?

@Nmvasey85 i can deff see a shadow, how many dpo are u, would it be abt 9/10? I think both myself and @Hankthehonk found out at 9 with a faint line so deff poss. 🙏🏽
