Oh dear that's not looking promising is it?

 

[littlewitch]

It really isn't. And it hurts.

I feel like maybe my body just can't stay pregnant anymore. The thought is crossing my mind that maybe continuing to try is stupid.

I don't just want nothing but chemicals and heartache. If AF comes, this will be my 4th chemical.

@littlewitch what a shame! That’s difficult to handle.

Im so sorry, I hope it wont be a chemical. Hugs for you! Stay strong!

I'm a bit crampy this morning, but it's mild. Probably just gas. 5 dpo today

 

[josephine3]

@littlewitch uhhh that's frustrating. I really hope it was just a fainter sample or something. Everything crossed for you that it's not a chemical and the next tests are nice and dark x

 

[NightFlower]

@littlewitch I'm sorry your going thru this. Hugs . Hope it's not another cp.

 

[littlewitch]

I know I am just grasping at straws here, but 14 dpo SMU. Sorry to post so often, all.

14 dpo SMU

 

[Suggerhoney]

Oh hon I really hope it’s not another chemical.
But if it is please don’t give up.
I had 4 definite chemicals in 2020 (possibly 5)
Then started adding Galatanised maca root and folate to my other supplements (vitamin D and all B vitamins)
Also baby aspirin at 10dpo when I got lines with my son.
There a few of us here that have had 4 chemicals and then gone onto have healthy babies.

Im on my 3rd loss now as you know.
2 chemicals and a miscarriage in 12 months of ttc.
It really does fill you with so much dread and anxiety and makes you feel hopeless but I’m not giving up.
I pray so so very much that you and me and the other long term ttc ladies, get our sticky and healthy BFPs vvvv soon. And no more losses

 

[NDH]

Your smu ones look better than the fmu. My fmu lines are always the worst, idk why


With recurrent chemicals, the antihistamine protocol is something you should look into.

@littlewitch i’m so sorry your tests aren’t progression. It’s heartbreaking. I also had 4 chemicals in the year it took to conceive my son and by the 4th I thought that was it and I just couldn’t stay pregnant anymore but then I did fall with him. Have you seen your gp about recurrent chemicals? Big hugs

 

[littlewitch]

I have talked to my GYN. She just did a standard transvaginal ultrasound to check for cysts, fibroids and "normal" uterine/ovary appearance.
I have considered that maybe my C-section created scar tissue on my tubes or uterus to the point where embryos cannot properly implant. I guess I would need an HSG to determine patency. Not sure if I am willing to go that invasive.
I got a full hormone panel in 02/2022 which was normal.
I just repeated the hormone blood work plus AMH level on Thursday. Will have to see what they say.
I think my overall metabolic function (TSH/T4) and stress level may be part of the problem.
If AF does come, and if my husband agrees to continue, I may look into acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Did you do anything differently after the 4th chemical that you think helped your son stick?

 

[Laurabub84]

Did you do anything differently after the 4th chemical that you think helped your son stick?

I had tests and was told I had a mild case of something called adenomyosis, which is where the tissue that lines the uterus grow into the muscular wall, I think, I had to google it. I don’t know if that contributed maybe. They never really did give an answer. I didn’t do anything different when he stuck because after always struggling with random long anovulatory cycles I was always scared to take anything while I was regular incase I messed my cycles again. The only thing I took were these

I know it’s so hard to keep going after losses but don’t give up hun.

 

[MrsKatie]

Oh @littlewitch I’m so sorry I agree the progression isn’t where it should be for a successful pregnancy However I have seen and lived firsthand a pregnancy where all signs pointed towards certain doom and against all odds baby was ok. I am praying for You, keep us posted.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@MrsKatie
Oh wow I can not believe your about to go in to 3rd trimester.
Like where did your pregnancy go.
That’s absolutely flown by.

 

[jellybeanxx]

@littlewitch I’m so sorry lovely, it’s all horribly stressful and upsetting! I had chemicals in between and my middle and youngest. I was referred to the recurrent miscarriages clinic but by the time the appointment came through I was in the 2nd trimester with my youngest. I understand the feeling of wanting to give up but I hope that you get your sticky BFP soon and we’re all here to support you and give you some strength when you’re struggling to lift yourself up.

@Laurabub84 good luck with the testing!
When you didn’t noticed any EWCM, did you notice any CM at all? Sorry for the TMI but I’m only getting small amount of CM and it’s so little I can’t quite work out what it is! I do sometimes wonder what my life has become…

CD17 here and no EWCM but as I’ve just said, there’s hardly any CM at all and I can’t quite make out what’s there! Still a flashing smiley this morning and this was the darkest OPK I got today…
