Hey all, I've been 'glued' to conversation forums of ladies talking about their own experiences.
3 weeks since my mc at 8 (ish) weeks and I've decided to join in with the discussion to aid my healing journey. Who knows I may even be able to help someone else.

A brief history...
I'm 39 have 3 chn, 17,14 and 6. All of a sudden I had a 'clocks ticking' urge to have my hearts desire of 4 chn. After getting the thumbs up from my previously reluctant husband we got pregnant first time after my withdrawal bleed from the pill. Began testing positive 23rd Jan.
I couldn't believe it. Constantly felt it was too good to be true!
After a scan at the EPAU where the scan did not match my dates the 'to good to be true' feelings were even stronger, despite seeing a heart pulsation.
13/14th pregnancy symptoms gradually tapered off and the 15th had a full blown MC. Bled for about a week. Suffered with low iron which I am taking iron oxide for and seems to be helping (requested a ferritin count test today so will get result tomoz).
Two weeks later pregancy test was neg, and I noticed my cm was looking fertile so did OPK which was a strong positive all day.
Following day pregnancy test was a faint double line again (WTF) and the OPK was fading as expected. Have taken 3 more Pregnancy test and each one has a faint positive. BTW I know this does not mean I'm pregnant - will have to do that wait and see in about 10 days or so.
Have been TTC at the right times.

My thoughts...
MY hormones are all over effing place!!! HCG seems to be fluctuating. No idea about the OPK's. CM as expected for Ovulation alongside usual gripey pain and tingling nipples.

Living in hope that the lovely pregnancy feeling will return.

There, I've let off a little steam. X

I know you don’t want to wait and understand why but there is a good reason medical staff advise waiting for at least one cycle to pass... you really need to heal emotionally and physically. Your iron is low and your hormones are still up in the air. You need to get back to your usual healthy self first. I had two miscarriages last year so I fully understand the urgency but you need to give yourself the best chance of a healthy pregnancy as possible and rushing into it when you’re still ill from the first one isn’t the way. Sorry for your loss Flowers.
