TTC after loss - over 40 - any takers? Our lucky thread - 9 rainbows and 1 BFP

[Serenjay]

Aww Becks I am really sorry that your lines are getting lighter and still have some loss... My loss in December took over 10 days.. it started bad then went light then red 2 days with pain then back light.. I needed antibiotics.. watch the pain and if loss lingers ask them at epau what to do...

Yes my scan is at 9am.. im not excited now.. im not nervous.. im oddly calmish... no doubt the nerves will kick in tomorrow.. im so glad its 9am and I have booked the day off. I booked it off in case of bad news.. not the best thing to walk into work after having bad news.

I have spoken with OH and as I see my consultant on 26th I have decided that if this one is not sticky I am getting steralised. I cant keep getting pregnant and losing them, this is my 8th pregnancy in 17 months. It's not healthy to keep putting my body and mind through the rollercoaster. I will be grateful for my grow n ups and focus on a career... xxx

Alien hi how are you getting on ?

hi Regina, I am doing ok so far, not sure why but I am oddly calm this time . Hcg did not double at all one week after the bfp, I did 2 more tests much later, so I wasworried about an ectopic as I had bad cramps and pain, did an early scan and there was a small empty sac where it was supposed to be. It measured 5w2d I think, which was more or less in line with my calculation, but my hcg at that point was only 1058, but I still took it as a good sign. That was a week ago, so I am going for a repeat scan this Wednesday. I am fully prepared for it to be another blighted ovum, although I do have more symptoms than with my m/mc or BO, despite the much lower hcg. How is that for logic ?!

Becks, big hugs to you, I hope you will know more soon one way or the other, the limbo is the worst.

Good luck SJ for your scan!

So excited for you Crystal.

T - good luck for scan.

Becks - how are you doing hun?

Alien - good luck too for your scan. I hope that you are wrong and that you have good news.

Fi - how are things with you?

Sorry Regina forgot to answer your questions. No sign of AF. Sometimes feel like it is coming but no. When it does come it is not heavy, normal - light. No mood swings now I am taking tablets which is good, no tears. Just feel tired and being very lazy lol. Which I think is doing me good. Oh not home til 15th. Mum, niece and sister visiting in half term so will visit London and see show hopefully.

Hi ladies!
I hope it is fine if I join?
I had an early mc at 5 weeks along last month. I was on 150 mg clomid when I conceived. Hubby and I have been ntnp (unmedicated) this time even though I haven't had an actual period yet.
FF detected O on cd 19. I am 6 dpo now.
My symptoms are similar to last time but some are either not as strong or haven't even happened yet.
I have had severe hot flashes, irritability, emotional, back ache, hips ache, fatigue, last night the insomnia started, indigestion and some ever so slight nausea (it was stronger last time.) My boobs had a few jolts over the week but other than that they feel pretty normal.

For those who have conceived immediately after an early loss, how did your symptoms compare to the ones previously?

 

[Serenjay]

Thanks Tilly xx How's the little one?? x

 

[Serenjay]

Thank you Jo xx hope your cycle sorts itself out x

Hi BABTTC sorry to hear about your loss..

I had a loss in December.. and caught for this one without trying.. I just felt my usual heart palpitations that I always get early pregnancy... and I done a test.

Dont forget most symptoms we get are just the progesterone... I think the main thing for this pregnancy (7 early losses previously) I was much more relaxed, chilled out and not fretting. on all the others I was a constant worrier..and constantly POAS.. this time I stopped testing at 15dpo.. im now 32dpo and I think the not testing helped me.

I will find out if this is sticky tomorrow (scan)

Good luck!

Awwwww that's fantastic T god I bet your heart was going like a train ! Pity bout the picture always nice to have one makes it more real . Xxx

I know. My heart was pumping... I almost burst into tears just sitting on the bed. Because I had visions of there being nothing there it was a massive shock to see the bean white blob and the perfect little heartbeat... She said they don't do photos as some don't survive etc.. I thought even more reason to have something to cherish... She said we won't have a photo at 8 weeks scan either. Only 12 week scan. The 12 week scan will be done at a new hospital.. Not epau x
