Navigating pregnancy after loss

[Cruz86]

Just setting this up so we can move all pregnancy-related stuff from the TTC after miscarriage thread.

Please tag anyone else I have missed, this is as much as my brain can handle 😂

@Raindrops2015 I have had bleeding for 7 days. Just been for a scan they can see the sac (no yolk yet but it's early) but also some blood in uterus causing the bleed. They don't think any cause for concern. Have to go back in two weeks to see if viable.

Go get scanned if worrier x

How's your spotting today @Bridgey8? If your test is negative I'd definitely still go!

Congratulations @HoneyLemon29, what a relief 💕

Thank you @Skl2021, bad tonsillitis for the umpteenth time 😩 How are you?

@barneymcgroo amazing news! Congratulations 🎉

Welcome @scoutcat ☺️

Good luck with your scan tomorrow @mrshodgy21, hopefully everything is still okay.

@Raindrops2015 sorry you've had some spotting. Glad you've got a scan but I know you're probably full of worry. Hope you don't get any more!

I was actually sick this morning noooo 😂 I hope it's just that some food wasn't sitting right in my stomach.

Xx

@Cruz86 oh no it's horrible when there poorly 😩. I'm doing ok. Starting to panic a bit now. Had lots of pains and twinges in stomach and it just makes you worry doesnt it 😩 dreading Monday already. I get emotional thinking about it xx

@Cruz86 spotting stopped. Was literally a couple of flecks when I wiped once - so god knows what that was. I had another faint line today... have been for a pcr to see if that's positive or negative. If it's negative I'll go to scan if positive will have to see if they will let me in with two negative tests! Getting more and more anxious about scan.... covid/my cold has disguised my pregnancy symptoms so worried they've all gone and I'll get in there and it will be bad news. God the rollercoaster!

Aaaaaah I’m sooooo pleased for you @HoneyLemon29 and you too @barneymcgroo xx

@Bridgey8 hope your PCR comes back negative 🤞🤞 xx

@Skl2021 me toooo or I am hoping the hospital let me come if I've had two negatives!

Thanks for kind words. I was out walking and I had some more and cramps. I'm pretty convinced this is the start of something. Is there any hope?

Probably TMI but does anyone get so gassy/bloated that it feels like cramps, and then you get worried?! 😣

@Raindrops2015 try your hardest to think positively, I’m not going to lie it could be but it also could not be. I know why you’re going to the worst case scenario as I do the exact same BUT it’s actually so common to have a bit of bleeding in early pregnancy and for things to be ok. I had some spotting a couple of weeks ago, was an absolute state, went to the EPU for a scan and we saw a healthy little bean measuring bang on with a heartbeat & I’ve had no spotting since. I haven’t been able to keep track of messages today but if you haven’t already please contact your EPU and get them to see you to see what’s going on sooner rather than later. Sending you massive cuddles & hand holds, hang in there! Xxx

What is the bleeding like @Raindrops2015 ?

@Raindrops2015 just echoing what @speake said - stay positive as much as you can. Since 6 weeks I've probably had 10 days where I haven't had any form of bleeding and each time I've thought the absolute worst and then been scanned and all has been fine. I still feel so anxious every time I bleed but just praying all will be fine at my next scan. Just take it one day at a time. Everything crossed for you xxxx

It's like coffee granules. Very small amount, less than a teaspoon. The cramps settle if I put my feet up. I think moving around brought on the second bleed. There was also some light brown thick discharge. My pregnancy symptoms seem to have lessened as well. I'm having a private scan tomorrow/today. I won't get seen by EPU til bed of next week as they didn't consider it an emergency.

@Raindrops2015 so sorry you're going through this but keep positive! I think brown spotting is quite common. Good luck with your scan, what time is it?

Does anyone else keep testing once they've got their BFP? I did another this morning and really wish I didn't!

@Raindrops2015 good luck today with your scan 💕 xx

@scoutcat I carried on testing until I got a dye stealer. I then stopped as the progression was making me worry. X

@mrshodgy21 good luck with scan today xx

So I'm super positive on a lateral flow so don't think I can go to my scan tomorrow 😭 just hope I can get in next week and check the baby is ok 😭

@Bridgey8 test tonight and tomorrow morning again. Those tests can change very quickly. I went from super positive to super negative in a day.

Thanks everyone for kind words. I really appreciate the support x

@Bridgey8 hope your ok 😣 what crap timing. Hopefully u can get another appointment quickly 🤞 xx

@Raindrops2015 that sounds quite normal I read somewhere about coffee grounds discharge being normal in all my frantic searching! Good luck today x

Hi everyone. Anyone else had progesterone pessaries? How long do you take them for? I've seen somewhere that suddenly stopping them can cause miscarriage. I have two weeks supply atm which take me through to the 6 week scan

@flowergarden16 I've been on them from 6 weeks and staying on them till 16!

Scan is now weds... xx

Thanks @Bridgey8

So idea would be keep using them ? I presume I'll get a new prescription in two weeks if we see a viable embryo in scan.

Good luck with your scan!!

Sorry for TMI but are you using vaginal my? I'm getting loads of...gunk! But no bleeding yet (guess it is masking it but that's fine by me...) x

@flowergarden16 tmi but I use up the bum as everyone said that was easier!!

Ok maybe I will switch 🤣 I hated having to do that for my d&c but guess you get used to it. Oh the things we do...

Had our scan today baby has a heartbeat and measuring 9 weeks today even had a little jiggle for us we're over the moon now to get through next week then a scan with epu!
