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.

Sorry @SMG1992 youre right I’ll get the full pic, each dot is a day if that makes sense xxx thanks for looking at it it means a lot as I don’t have a clue 🤦‍♀️

@Chocolatebean just tried to attach my recent graphs for you but for some reasons it's saying I have no photos??

Aw thanks for trying @kookyelephant do u think I’ve just read it wrong 🤦‍♀️

@kookyelephant If you click on the button anyway they usually appear :)

Haha that worked, here are mine really don't know if that helps xx

@Chocolatebean what does the rest of the graph look like? Might you have ovulated a couple of days earlier where the bigger dip is?

@hennie222 i was doing OPK tests so know I ovulated on the Fri or sat xxx I know that dip before would have been great if that was it xxx
thanks so much @kookyelephant xxx

Thanks so much for all the help ladies, I’m going to book an appointment at a fertility clinic just get it all checked out it’s a shame I didn’t have my I watch the month I got pregnant so I could see my measurements that month until then I’ll just not stress about it and go with the flow xxx

@Chocolatebean i can see why you’re confused
looks like a dip and then an increase, it’s so subtle anyway try not to worry x

Thanks so much sweet. Have an appt at a fertility clinic 9th of may so just going to get on with things till then. How are you doing xxx

@Chocolatebean thats good, fingers crossed you’ll be pregnant by then anyway!
im alright, it’s quite nice to be in the tww and just take it easy worrying
my work has become really busy and stressful so I’m trying really hard not to let that become too much for me. Stress is not going to help

Sorry to revert back to the vitamin conversation, but what (if any) vitamins/supplements do your other halves take? My OH is generally pretty healthy (regular gym-goer, doesn't smoke, has a few drinks a week but not many), but we're thinking it wouldn't hurt to give him a boost!

Hey @Rabbitjungle1
My husband takes the Wellman conception vitamin along with vitamin D and turmeric which he would take anyway.
I'm not sure if he should be doing more than that. Like yours, my husband is pretty healthy otherwise

@Rabbitjungle1 Mine is on high strength vitamin D and the Proceive powder drink.

Thanks @SMG1992 @TheBirdintheCave, this is super helpful. It's difficult to know what to take when there are so many over the counter options available!

Hi ladies, how's everyone doing? I'm currently in the TWW, not too sure when my period is due as my cycle has been different lengths every month since my surgery, but I ovulated sometime between the 21-26th of March I think! I'm expecting my period sometime in the next 10 days, hopefully it doesn't arrive!

Hi @YearoftheRabbit23 I'm ok thanks, I hope you are doing well?

I'm in TWW too - I'm around 7dpo ish and it is dragging!
I might do a FRER on Friday and again on Sunday to see if there is any kind of hint, I know I shouldn't but I can't hold out any longer!

I actually always feel quite peaceful during the TWW knowing what will be will be and that there's not much I can do to change it.

@YearoftheRabbit23 also in the TWW, 9DPO for me. I'm off on holiday until Sunday and not going to take any tests with me to try and avoid stressing (I wouldn't do anything differently anyway!), but obviously being prepared for AF showing up. Fingers crossed not and when I get back I can do a test!

@YearoftheRabbit23 potentially in the TWW, I had medical management for a MMC 3 weeks ago and think I ovulated at the end of last week judging by my LH spike and bbt. Don't have my hopes up particularly as if I conceived it'd be prior to my first period post-MMC. But I fell pregnant in January first cycle post-breastfeeding and caught before my first period then too so I guess it could happen.

Also in the 2ww! Think I'm 10dpo? I'm not testing until I have a missed period this cycle, I can't be bothered with sitting there, a test in hand with a magnifying glass out to determine if there's a faint line!!

I just really want it for us now (as does everyone obviously!) I'm getting more and more fed up as the days go on.

Has anyone else found the further it gets from your MC the more sensitive and upset you are? After it happened I cried solid for at least 3 weeks! Then had a few weeks feeling ok but lately I'm lucky if I can go a day without shedding a tear.

@mollibu I totally get what you mean about feeling emotional. I thought I was doing ok, the sun is shining and I have some nice plans. But then I found out a colleague is pregnant and I'm struggling to hold it together this afternoon. Probably wait until I'm home and will cry my eye out!

It's nice so many of us are in the TWW though, I know I'm not going to hold out past the weekend to test so not even going to bother trying to show restraint.

Hi ladies, so since my temps were all over and there wasn’t a pattern I had a bit of a wobbler drank wine on Friday, booked an appt with a fertility clinic and then went on a load of exercise equipment on Saturday. I got in yesterday and had this weird urge to take a test I only have internet cheapies and yesterday was 8dpo but there is a faint line I did 3 and all have a faint line but apparently internet cheapies are good at false positives so have ordered a frer. Cross your fingers for me xxx wonder how @VillageFete is doing ?

@Chocolatebean i have everything crossed for you! This sounds so promising! X

@Chocolatebean That’s amazing news! Fingers crossed for you that the FRER will confirm it 🤞🏻🤞🏻

When I found I was pregnant this time around I also experienced an inexplicable urge to take a test at 10DPO (despite having previously said to myself I would not waste money on early tests and wait until my period was late). So maybe our bodies can try and tell us something?!

@Fairylight102 @SMG1992 thank you so much it’s funny isnt it all I can think now is how terrified I am that the same will happen as last time 😬😬😬xxx
