Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[SATH]

Yay love those digi tests. Congrats.

 

[Laubull]

Welcome pattabs, I'm sorry you've had to join us but wish you all the luck in the world I conceived this pregnancy straight after a mc, although I was only 6 weeks, but it can happen! I hope we all give you hope.

Elaine, what a lovely digi result. I think it's small victories like that, that keep you going. Take it one day at a time. Soon you will have your reassurance scan to look forward to. Not to mention the symptoms! Keep positive

Hope everyone is well. I have a horrible cough to now, trying to not to cough too much though, wouldn't want to dislodge anything....silly I know but you worry!!

Hi girls,

Elaine, loving the digi result and the ticker, hope you are keeping positive!

SATH, hope you wont be needing thst follow up and get a nice sticky BFP very soon!

Hope all the pregnant ladies are doing well, it is lovely reading your old posts, especially your BFP announcements.

Pattabs, hello, sorry to hear about your miscarriages, it is just awful that any of us are here but I hope you find this thread as positive as I have, I am already feeling more optimistic about conceiving again.

Well, not much new with me, fertility friend keeps changing my ovulation date, I'm not sure if I have actually ovulated at all yet or if I will this cycle. I amd not 6 weeks post ERPC and still no af! Hope something happens soon! I have been getting a weird pain around my right lower abdomen, initially I thought it was ovulation pain but it has been there about 2 weeks now so not really sure what it is. Any ideas??

[Lou15]

Right, my head is swimming with all these updates and trying to remember as much as I can about how everyone's getting on, but I will try not to get confused!

Twinklepaws, AF should be here VERY soon for you and fingers crossed this will be your month. Both Elaine and I got pregnant after first AF post miscarriage (anyone else?), really hope you will too.

Pattabs, welcome and I am so very sorry for your losses. I also had a 12 week miscarriage, then one at 6-7 weeks, and now here I am at over 15 weeks and hopefully things will continue to go well, and hopefully it will be the same for you.

SATH, so sorry they didn't take any action regarding your luteal phase, but - and sorry if I'm getting this wrong- I think Khloee has a similar luteal phase to you and has still managed to get pregnant and has just had scan that confirms all is well at the moment. Hopefully you will get your BFP before that 3 month revisit.

Khloee, regarding said scan, congratulations! Sorry to hear that you were feeling really worried but glad your mind has been put at ease to an extent. You will be at that 12 week scan before you know it!

Laubull, sorry to hear you've not been feeling well. I have every sympathy and hope that it passes for you soon. As you say, it's a good sign, but it's still miserable feeling so rubbish!

Garfie, hello! Well, you have lots of new members of the TTC gang and you're definitely not alone now but you very much deserve to be out of it soon and I really hope that you are.

Elaine- love the ticker! An appleseed already! You'll be up at plum before you know it, you really will (think that's 12 weeks?!). Looking back I don't really know how I got through the early weeks...think my sickness was so bad I was just taking it a day at a time (or a mouthful at a time!)- it's been quite all-consuming to be feeling so ill and that probably took my mind off the actual reality of the pregnancy if that makes sense.

Manny, how are you doing? Everything ok with you?

As for me, don't want to speak too soon but I think I may be turning a corner with my sickness, finally! Last night I managed to cook a risotto from scratch (first proper meal I've cooked in 12 weeks) and eat a good helping. Today I have cooked soup from scratch too! I have eaten really well in general today and not vomited at all, and I have been for 2 really good dog walks (all my joints are aching as I haven't moved so much in weeks but I don't care!). I have cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen, done 2 loads of washing, and been to the pet shop for some dog food. I literally feel like I have been re-born! I am full of the joys! I hope it's not back to square one tomorrow, but I'm just going to enjoy this while it lasts! Hmmm, what to eat next?!

Lou - Glad you are feeling better, sooo good to hear!!

AFM - Was at a christening today and really enjoyed it! No real symptoms today and back is much better. Did another test today and line so dark its unreal so hoping lack of symptoms is due to me only being 5 weeks? Not worrying as trying to be very positive this PG!

[thethomsons]

Def going to wait for scan Garfie. Think will wait till next week when I'm 6 weeks and if all ok will call and make scan date for about 8 weeks as will be passed 6 week mark which is where all has gone wrong last twice. Hoping get that far this time! Still no major symptoms :-S

 

[Khloeee]

Hi Sath - yes, my LP was just 8 days and meant every time I got pregnant I'd have an early MC because my short LP wasn't enough time for an egg to safely implant. Started taking a vit B complex & vit C (to encourage progesterone production) and baby aspirin (to help build a good uterine lining) and that month I got pregnant with this pregnancy... So far so good.

On my phone and can't see to rely to everyone else's comments but wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you all! Xx

Oh, and in other news I got my 12 week scan date but dissapointed it's not until I'm 13+3 - that's an extra week of waiting!

 

[Laubull]

Garfie, I am sorry the witch got you I really, really hope this cycle has a BFP at the end of it

Khloee, yea to scan date, although boo it being late. I am still waiting for my date.....

Lou, well done on the risotto and glad you're feeling better!

Sath/Twinkle, good luck again girls

Elaine, yea to you being an apple seed!

Hugs to everyone else!

[mannymoo]

Hi lovely ladies. Sorry I've also been MIA. I've had family staying with me so have been a bit tied up. Also been feeling very average. I had a few good days but last night the MS with back again and today it has been quite bad too that I've come home from work. Strangely, my boobs have stopped hurting completely but I'm hoping that the MS means that things are still going smoothly. Still have a whole week until my next scan and time seems to be standing still.

Although I've caught up on all the news, I may miss someone/s... But:

New ladies - welcome to you all and lets hope this thread brings you lots of luck like it for for me.

Garfie - sorry the witch got you but I am still pleased to see that at least you had a very clear ovulatory cycle which is great. Maybe things are finally getting back to normal.

Cheryl and Lou - so pleased that your MS is on its way out. I don't know how you have coped for so long feeling this grotty!

PopTart - I'm sure we are due an update from you?

Elaine, LauBull and Khloeee - glad things are progressing well for you all.

I'm sure I've missed someone - sorry!

Take care everyone.

ps: I must stop putting x at the bottom of every post. I realized last week that I had done it on about 4 work emails!!!

[SATH]

Hi Khloeee, Thanks for that. I've been taking vitamin B complex 100 for months now but I didn't know about the vitamin C with. Can I ask how much should I be taking? Its day 10 today so maybe my accupuncture is working as no AF, know I'm not pregnant timing was totally off with oh being away.

One of my results from my bloods on Friday is back shows I have a high fibrinogen which is all to do with clotting so I'm definitely going to start that baby Aspirin, do you start after OV or as soon as you get BFP. I nearly took it last time but GP said no no you don't need that, so wish I had.

Had a rubbish day yesterday. My sister was up visiting my mum so off I went to catch up. Well my mum proceeded to show me lots of pictures of her friends newborn and then my sister gets out the outfits she has brought for her SIL who is due on the same day I was with my first mc. The worst is they both know about both mc. Held it together in front of them but got home to oh and sobbed.

Hope everyone is good. x

 

[Laubull]

Sath, sorry you had a rubbish day yesterday re: baby aspirin, I took it too and so did/does Elaine, I took it from cd1 up until when I got my BFP. It's not only good for clotting (if you have that issue) but stimulates the ovaries for ovulation and produces a better uterine lining.

Good luck
X

 

[SATH]

Thanx hon. I'll def give that okay. Feel like I rattle. How are u feelinf your shooting up the fruits!

 

[Lou15]

Garfie, so sorry AF came and is so painful. The only way I got through post m/c AFs was in always hoping that day 1 would be the day they used to date my next pregnancy

SATH, I am amazed that you got through your ordeal and held off crying til you got home, I don't think I could have! It was very insensitive of your mum and sister to put you through that. I think that one of the worst things about miscarrying is the fact that anything baby related makes you so sad...seeing pregnant ladies, newborn babies, announcements on facebook etc etc. I promise you that it will get a bit easier once you get your 3rd time lucky BFP xx

Manny, good to hear from you, sorry you're feeling rough. I really have every sympathy, I found it such a horrible and lonely time when I was so unwell. Hopefully you will feel better sooner than I did but do feel free to moan on here anytime! Think I have mentioned before that my boobs really didn't hurt for long with this pregnancy, so given that you're feeling so sick I definitely wouldn't worry about that particular symptom disappearing.

Elaine, hooray for the strong lines! As you know, not everyone gets sickness etc, and for those that do usually they don't really start properly til about 6 weeks I think.

Cheryl, congratulations on being able to eat!! Isn't it a joy?! The simplest things now taste lovely to me!

Khloee, I sympathise about your scan date...my 20 week scan isn't til 21 weeks..like you, a whole extra week! How will we survive?!

Lots of love to all! I have just eaten my tea but have now got the idea of a banana and peanut butter sandwich in my head....! Think I'll eat an apple and see how that goes!

 

[twinkle_paws]

Hi all!
Lou and Cheryl, glad you are feeling better and are enjoying your food again.

SATH, sorry you had such a rubbish time yesterday, sometimes I feel like everywhere I turn there are babies and pregnant women and constant baby pics and pregnancy announcements on facebook, aaaahhhhhhh! Our time will come!!

Laubull, that’s interesting info re baby aspirin, I have long cycles so I wonder if it would help me ovulate? May need to investigate this… Nice to see your baby is now a green olive!

Manymoo, good luck for you scan in a few days, is this your first one?

Khloee, glad you scan went well the other day hope the next 3 weeks go super quick for you so you can get to your next one.

Elaine, glad to hear things are going well, sounds like a good plan re. your scan. Fingers crossed everything continues to go well for you and as the other ladies say I think it’s still pretty early for morning sickness.

Pattabs, hope you are doing ok x

Garfie, hope the witch is easing up on you and you are feeling better very soon. In response to your question, yeah I actually did a HPT yesterday and it was negative. Did take a while though, was still positive a couple of weeks ago.

Poptart, hope you are well x

Hope I haven’t missed out anyone, still getting to grips with you all

Nothing new with me, just waiting impatiently for AF, all my OPKs arrived today so I am all set to go next cycle

xx

 

[thethomsons]

Hi girls,

SATH - I can so sympathise with what you went through with your my and sister. My SIL is due 3 weeks before I would have been and everytime I am around them discussing it, it is very painful. I have had many a sob to DH on journeys home. Try not to let it get to you, though I know it is hard. Oh and yes I take baby aspirin as I am still waiting my clotting results but to be honest think I will continue taking it anyway as a lot of research online shows it is a positive against miscarriage.

Twinkle paws - Yay for OPKS, I am PG first cycle after MC and OPKS caught my surge perfectly!

Lou - Enjoy lots of eating hun. You have lots of catching up to do!!

Laubull - How you been feeling?

Khloee - Yay you got scan, but boo having to wait and extra week :-S You will need to keep VERY busy that week lol

Manny - sorry to hear feeling pretty rubbish, hoping scan comes quickly! Funny how when you have symtpoms you feel yuk and when you are like me with none you so wish to feel like that. WE ARE NEVER HAPPY lol

Garfie - Keeping everything crossed this is your month!!

AFM - Well I have been having major worries today that maybe I'm not PG after all. So I went to Morrisons and bought 2 CB tests and did one as soon as I got home as I had convinced myself I have made up this "phantom pregnancy", but lo and behold before I had even lifted the test out the pee pot (lol) it was already clearly showing! I have posted a pic of tests from last 24 hours including CB from 5 minutes ago! I am panicking though as now 5 weeks and still not a lot to report apart from (.) (.) slightly bigger, bloated and tired but I could account these things for anything surely? I KNOW I will regret saying all this hopefully in a week or so when I'm feeling deathly but my last M/C I was getting positive tests and had no bleeding or cramps and it had STILL gone wrong so it is impossible not to worry, :-S I expected this PG to be worrisome and I'm so trying not to but it is so hard. People say as long as you are not bleeding or cramping you are fine but I know first hand this is not true. Anyway had big chat with DH and he told me to come and offload to you guys as you are better at advice than him! Men eh, he does try but they don't really get it the way we do! Def not going near the EPAS or booking a scan for at least three weeks as would much rather if it is going to go wrong that I have an idea before I go due to bleeding or whatever. The worst experience of my life was going to unit for a 9 week scan having been at 6 weeks and seen heartbeat and then there was nothing and I had had NO warnings whatsoever. I am now reluctant to go for a scan at all as its so heartbreaking to see nothing and I have done it twice this year, even though in between we did see a heartbeat. It honestly fills me with dread having to go for a scan at all. If I thought I could know everything was fine without going, I would. I have such bad bad memories of down there. I feel like I have now put myself out there to be hurt again if that makes sense.
DH thinks it is hormones making me super sensitive at mo, maybe just tired as was first day back at work today. Anyway CB test did make me feel bit better and I have a digital to do next Monday which should show 3+ weeks if im moving forward. If I get that will call EPAS, if not will not bother.

Sorry girls for depressing post, just having bit of a panic today. :-S

 

[Khloeee]

SATH - I took the baby aspirin from day 1 and just stopped taking it at 9 weeks. Although if you think you have the clotting issue, you need to keep taking it throughout pregnancy. There was an experiment with vit C and it was found to improve fertility and progesterone levels. The testers took 750mg vit C, but I am taking 500mg because I couldn't find a 750mg dose and heard conflicting reports on the safety of taking higher doses of vit C during pregnancy. Have you found the B vits have helped your cycle at all?
