hormone crash after ERPC

[Fit_Mama2Be]

We have a heartbeat!!!!!!!

Baby is measuring 7 w 1 d (I'm 7 w 2 d) and heartbeat is 150 bpm.

So relieved I cried happy tears when the sonographer went to fetch DH.

Thanks as always for your support ladies. Pregnancy after MC can be terrifying and having you girls cheering me on means the world.

Oh, and Jaspie, I was hella bloated right around the time I got this BFP.

 

[jaspie]

Omg!!!! Fit i am so relieved for you!! I was literally holding my breath opening up the thread to see your reply, thank god everything is ok!! So happy for you i could cry!

Haha good to know! AF is due today/tomo and I think she'll come, i don't feel pregnant and i do feel pre af but hey still in the game! And properly playing next month!

 

[Blu10]

I am so delighted fit thats amazing!! Whoop whoop.

Im a little concerned that my boobs dont feel as sore the last two daysand I didnt feel as tired yesterday. Think i just need to chill out x

 

[jaspie]

Sure all is fine Blu, so hard not to be hypersensitive to every change in symptoms. I bet they'll be back tomorrow When's your next scan? Sounds like you need some reassurance xx

 

[Blu10]

Hey Jaspie, any sign of AF? Next scan will be 12 weeks so at least 3 weeks away could be longer 😕 i know if Im concerned though epac would scan me sooner with my history. Theyre still tender but nothing like they were. Keep thinking it would be extremely unlucky to lose twice after seeing a heartbeat x

 

[jaspie]

Yep the odds are totally on your side, and symptoms do come and go. Try not to worry I'm sure all is great! That's good they'll scan you sooner if you wanted, reassurance sounds good. I don't think I'll get any early scans next time on nhs but i will be paying for at least 2, one at 7weeks and one at 9 or 10 weeks. No more horrible shocks at 12w scan i can't handle that again. They're only £40 here though so they're affordable.

I've got heavy feeling and cramps so I think af will be arriving v soon. Just creamy cm atm though!

 

[jaspie]

AF is here!!! CD1 of my first proper ttc cycle since Nov! Yeah!!

Can't believe I've waited 3 cycles since the d&c that's crazy and if you had told me back then that I would have to wait so long I would've been seriously sad but luckily I didn't know in advance so it was ok though i have had my moments of being sad and impatient! But now OH is pain free and my cycle is back to normal i am feeling so happy and hopeful for our rainbow! 🌈🌈🌈🌈

Thanks ladies, feeling extremely blessed!

Jaspie I have a good feeling about this being your month! Are you temping? So glad your DF is feeling better and you can try again.

Blu, try not to worry about your boobs, the soreness really does come and go. Mine weren't sore at all the day I had the brown discharge (great timing) but were sore again by the following day.

Also, my boobs were just excrutiating my last pregnancy (I had to sleep in a sports bra and couldn't even hug DH) and I still lost the baby. I actually just read that boobs that are *too* sore can be a sign of low progesterone, which occurs because the pregnancy isn't viable, so it just goes to show you that you never can tell.

I hear you on the reassurance scan though - after getting terrible news at my 13 week scan last time I don't know if I'll be able to handle going so long between scans again.

Jaspie, when I told a friend about my loss she told me when she was pregnant the first time she went for her first scan at 12 weeks and discovered that baby had died at 6 weeks. She went on to have 3 healthy children and didn't miscarry again.

Bernie and Hopie, how are you? Hope all is well.

 

[jaspie]

Thanks Fit! Fx for this cycle! Yes I'm temping and using opks so I'm all set

That's really reassuring to read about your friend. I really hope I'm the same! Great to hear that all was okay after similar situation to me! Thank you xx

 

[Blu10]

Hey my lovelies, fab news that AF arrived on time Jaspie, cant wait for fertile time! Haha 😉
How are you feeling Fit?
All good here bsore boobs are back and ive told my new boss who took the news well thank god xx

 

[bernie86]

FIT! Im so relieved for you!!! Glad you have the reassurance. hopefully you can relax now and know that the bleed was nothing.... All three of us have had some bleeding and we all 3 have strong heartbeats! I know that worrying is only natural after what we've all been through, but remember that each pregnancy and baby is different and its not likely to go like last time

 

[hopie2015]

Wow- so much great news! I wasn't able to sign on for a couple of days.
Congrats Fit!! So happy and relieved to see your message on your scan! Perfect heartbeat! I also read that hcg #'s stop doubling after a certain amount of time.. I know some doctors don't even like testing them so often. SO thrilled for you!
Such encouraging news about your friend who had 3 healthy babies after her m/c.

Bernie- so frustrating how doctor's offices can be some times! Hope your wait is short. We are all so excited to hear!

Blu- just hilarious your DS is! Very observant young boy, isn't he?! Glad you are feeling so crappy. haha. sorry- but such a good sign! Great about the exercises you can get approved for. I'm sure it is just water weight you have gained so far..Add some more protein in would be good, you think? But I know what you mean by feeling like that and only eating carbs. Awesome your new boss took the news great. Yay!

Jaspie - I know, can't believe it has been 3 cycles also already! Well, now just made 4 for me. Crazy. Good news is OH is pain free and we all on this board have such a strong feeling that JUNE is your month!!!

My life feels upside down, guys. Good news is my mom is doing pretty well. My dad is in a deep depression. I've never seen anyone with depression that doesn't get better before. I am resorting to a sleeping pill b/c my sleep and exhaustion is that bad.
Would love for June to be it too but I just don't know.

Everyone have a wonderful weekend.. I can't wait to see all the updates!
xx

 

[Blu10]

Hopie im delighted to hear about your mum but sorry that dads not so good, is he getting help for his depression? Its such a tough time for you but im sure baby Hopie will happen when he time is right hun, in the meantime I hope you get some sleep.
As for DS he seriously doesnt miss a trick I swear! Hes so so funny now and comes out with the most random stuff. Last week he told me if he wants a brother then i need to eat a boy baby for it to grow in my belly and if we accidentally get a sister he will take it back to tescos!! 😄

Bernie its great to hear from you, how are you?

We ended up going to pizza hut for tea for a change, im now feeling pretty wiped and vegging out on the sofa, totally rock and roll.

Hope you all have amazing weekends xx

 

[bernie86]

Hope you all are doing well! Hubby and I finally got the exciting news that we are Team BLUE!!!! and the tests show that he is healthy!!

 

[jaspie]

Yay Bernie!!!!! Congratulations! So happy for you and great to hear all is perfect! Yay for team blue! How many weeks are you now?

Hopie i hope your dad is getting some help, and I hope you're doing okay.

Hope you are both well blu and fit!

I'm just waiting for af to finish up hopefully tomorrow will be the last day then I just have to wait until next week to start bding! Really hope I'm as lucky as before and get pregnant first cycle again.

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Bernie, congrats!!!!!! Yay for team blue (you were right!!) and baby being healthy.

Jaspie, I hope you luck out on your first month again too! This thread seems to be lucky so far – I have a good feeling you’ll be #4 in a row, then Hopie # 5!

Hopie, glad your mom is doing better and hope things get easier for your dad soon too.

How is everything with you Blu?

I am very tired (I cannot seem to get enough sleep and feel very lazy) and my boobs are a lot more sore now. I haven’t thrown up but I get queasy on and off and have a few food aversions – things I loved pre-pregnancy. Baby really seems to hate certain salads for instance, LOL. I also feel like I’m getting a cold (headache behind my left eye, plugged nose, sneezing) but that is one of the symptoms I had last time too. I am 8 weeks 1 day as of today.

 

[bernie86]

Thanks girls! we are so excited! Im 13w 5d. Ive been feeling better, except the fatigue. hope yours starts to taper soon Fit, but it is nice for reassurance. Jaspie I think you will get lucky this month too! blu and hopie hope all is well!

 

[hopie2015]

Such amazingly great news here!
Bernie- congratulations on the wonderful news!!! You and your mom were right-- a boy!! We all thought a boy too. Congrats again on the perfect scan! 2nd trimester..who-hoo!

Fit- sure hope you start to feel better soon and it isn't a cold you caught?

Jaspie- I SO too have the feeling that you will get lucky on first cycle you try..and if not, second. I just have such positive feelings for you!

Blu- your DS is hilarious. Where do kids come up with this stuff? Just classic! I bet you feel tired. Glad you aren't feeling too nauseous though.
Thank you and all of you for your kind words and encouragement. 'Baby Hopie" # 5.. I love it!!
GOOD news-- my mom has come home!!! She went for f/up appt. with surgeon yesterday and he introduced her to others as 'the miracle lady'. Truly all the prayers, novenas worked a complete miracle. Recovery is slow going and I never get to sit down but I am just so happy and pray this recovery continues to go well. Another dr. appt. tomorrow.
My dad received an anti-depressant that has not been working. I am trying to get him admitted to a hospital.
My life was turned upside down and I feel nothing but anxiety...Usually I am not an anxious person (well, except at that crazy old job I had!). I'm not sleeping and just afraid I will be infertile at this rate!
Today DF left for Chicago. Oh, how I wanted to go and stay at that great hotel but I could not. So much for trying this month!

Hate to be a downer. I love signing on here and reading all your great news and updates. More good new news to come from Jaspie!

Take good care all of you!! I'll sign back on this weekend. xxx

 

[jaspie]

Hopie you're wonderful, despite all you're going through at the moment you never sound on a downer, though I'm sure on the inside you feel like it. I look forward to your posts because they're full of positivity and energy. I am SO pleased to hear your mum is home. That is amazing news! I'm sorry the meds didn't work for your dad. I hope you can get him into hospital and on some treatment that works for him. And so sorry you didn't get to go to that hotel you were hoping to! That's such a shame. When things are more settled with your parents if you can you and DF should go away together. Our holiday was one of the best decisions we've made because after everything that's happened this year it was so nice to relax and reconnect.

Wow Bernie nearly 14 weeks now where has the time gone!

And fit hope you feel better soon! 8 weeks that feels like it's gone fast too!

Lol Blu at DS! Haha watch out baby boys blu is coming to eat you! So funny kids logic.....how do things get in your belly...You eat them of course!

Thanks for all of your positivity coming my way fingers crossed for a bfp in a couple of weeks and a healthy baby. I'm feeling positive this time!

AF has left the building! I prefer the tww to the wait to ovulate any day of the week! Waiting to ovulate is so boring and I'm too excited to wait. At least the tww has symptom spotting

 

[Blu10]

Hey everyone, sorry ive not had chance to pop on B&B but weve been decorating all week, finally finished last night. Lovely to see all the updates.
Bernie you were right with team blue then... love it! Boys rock!
Fit sorry you feel rubbish, hopefully it will ease soon.
Jaspie i have everything crossed for a BFP!!
Hopie im thrilled that mum is home, thats brilliant news!! Hope dad gets the help he needs too and you can get some 'me time'. I agree with Jaspie, youre such an inspiration.
As for me all of my symptoms have faded since the weekend which giveny history is a little stressful but im hoping its just that the placenta is starting to take over as im 10 weeks on sunday. Ill be so glad when ive had my 12 week scan now x
