TTC following Clomid miscarriage

[Buttercup_Way]

Thank you for your kind messages.
I am so relieved that baby is ok! I honestly didnt realise how common bleeding in early pregnancy is. My first instinct went straight to MC.
I have been cramping quite bad since the bleed and i find getting in and out of the car sends a sharp pain to my sides! I just need to stop over analysing everything and try to be positive.
How are you all getting on? Loup, any developments - Where are you in your cycle at the moment? Has work got a little better now?

I'm day 25 atm, don't feel it has worked this cycle at all. No pms symptoms so I doubt af will show on time again. I'm just waiting to get the weekend out the way and get to the drs to see where to go next (I've no more clomid left anyway) I think I will need to be on a higher dose, 50mg just doesn't seem to be working for me anymore but we'll see. I also want to be monitored so I'm not stressing completely.

Work is a bit rubbish but its not a major issue, just trying to get on with things but the wedding is getting closer and closer and I so wanted to be pregnant by then It will be 6 months since the mc by then and without meaning to I set that as a goal

I hope everything with you & baby is still going good & any cramps have stopped?

CD 25, thats still quite early for you, did u track your BBT?
Well thinking positively, at least going back to the doctors will hopefully mean they will start to monitor you. It must be so frustrating wondering day in day out whether Clomid is still working as well as it did the first time! I really hope putting you on a higher dose and maybe triggering shots may be an option that will hopefully work. Maybe even changing the days you take Clomid, could make that huge difference. You know you can fall - Thats the most important factor... Its just finding the right dosage and right system that works for you. I didnt realise how different treatments etc can vary from one area to another. Considering you got no follicle scan or follow ups and were basically left to get on with it. I think now, you have more than enough of a right to stand firm and demand to be monitored. At least for the first month.

Sorry work is still a little rubbish! The wedding will be a good distraction... I know it will be difficult if you arent pregnant at the time - Its things like that isnt it that seem to play on your mind. I was the same. I hated my wedding dress on the day - I had already in my mind sold it to buy a maternity dress and when i found one i loved, the old one to me seemed a painful reminder! The of course losing the baby meant the old one was easier to keep and i would have lost out on a lot of money!
But i promise you, the day will be beautiful and for that one time you will enjoy what your future holds and it will be a new start for you and your husband! Is everything in place? Any more preparation to do?

Try and be positive hun! As hard it is sometimes... Clomid is a miracle drug... It will work again!!

Hey there, just thought I'd send you an update, been bleeding and heavily cramping all week. So much so I had to come home from work today. Altho it's not a huge amount of blood it's the cramping and brown discharge I worry myself over.
My OH is brilliant, he is supportive but I don't want to constantly be bringing him down when he's trying to be so positive. I've lost weight, the cramping is at times unbearable, and I just don't 'feel' right, if that makes sense?! Everyone tells me I'm just paranoid, that it will all be okay and they are probably right - but is it wrong to be anxious!
Hope everything with u guys is going well this month.
Keep me posted!
Xx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Sorry to hear that your bleeding is continuing. I would be worried too. Id get checked again if u can? I hope everything is ok but the cramping doesnt sound right.
Xxx

 

[Loup89]

Hi hun,

sorry to hear your cramping and bleeding how long until your 12 week scan? fingers crossed it all stops! You can't help but worry, we would all be the same but hopefully you can be reassured that everything is ok soon How you doing today?

I've just worked out I'm only on cd35, I thought it was much more than that time just seems to be going very slowly! Considering last cycle was 52 days!
I think I'll be booking in to see my dr at some point this week or next I'm even considering a month off clomid to give my body a rest but when af takes so long to show it puts me off that idea. I haven't tracked my bbt this cycle, I decided to try and relax and see what happens but I will definitely be doing it next time, even if its just to prove to my gp that its not working anymore.

thinking of you & hope you're feeling better today x

 

[Ceilani]

Ugh, I hate it when people say "don't be paranoid"! We know what's up with our bodies, and we know when something doesn't feel right. I won't tell you not to worry hon, but just know we're all here and pulling for you and your bean.

Have you been able to contact your OB? At least for a scan/check up for peace of mind, you know?

You're in my prayers.

 

[Buttercup_Way]

Had scan on Wednesday - All is fine. Bleeding obviously had nothing to do with the baby. Very relieved. Rather get to 20 weeks before letting my hopes get too high but at least i know baby is safe for now.
Thanks for all the support, before losing my first i dont think i ever contemplated the level of fear that comes with getting through each week.
Hope your all well... Keep me posted! Hopefully some good baby dust is working its magic as we speak!

Im glad to hear your baby is well. Xxx

 

[Loup89]

Hey lovely,

So glad to hear things went ok and I hope its still the case now?
How far along are you now? Its crazy how quick time is going for me lately but I'm sure its not the case for you.

Sadly nothing to tell my end, I've been working every hour under the sun so whilst it will never completely leave my mind I just haven't been able to concentrate on ttc lately my poor OH has hardly seen me! I still haven't been to see my gp which is shocking but I just can't find the time with doing 12-14 hour days! We're not too far away from the wedding now so hopefully once we're married life will calm down a bit and we can get back to some sort of normality.

Whats everyone been up to?

Hey,

Lovely to hear from you.
Gosh you do sound run off ur feet entirely atm. A good distraction maybe but a lot of work! Make sure u take some breathers.. And look after yourself!
Wedding coming up... That must be exciting!! Are you going on honeymoon? Like u say, once married, things will hopefully calm down and you and ur husband can enjoy some much needed relaxation and time together. Are you all set? Any last min bits to do?

Im 15w3d now. Everything seems ok. In that place at the moment where i dont feel pregnant at all and ive oddly lost a few pounds but if i keep thinking negatively ill never be able to look forward.

Look forward to hearing from you soon! U take it steady!

Well I'm a married lady now!

Had the most amazing week/ day the whole build up was so lovely and the day itself was beyond perfect, its been almost a week and I've still not stopped smiling despite coming down with an awful cold yesterday. We've not got a honeymoon booked because my DH has only recently started a new job and he can't get enough time off work, we're having a short break in September though which should be nice.

How are you getting on? I can't believe how much has gone on and how quick things have gone, feels like you should only still be about 12 weeks lol. I'm really hoping everything is going well for you and baby. You really give me hope that things will work out for me too.

I went to see my gp today who is writing a letter to my fs so that she will see me again to discuss options but in the mean time shes given me 3 months of clomid 100mg so hopefully that will do the trick. Can't believe I've only had 2 periods since the mc but I have all my normal horrible pms symptoms so I can start the clomid soon

Hopefully hear from you soon x

 

[Buttercup_Way]

Congratulations on your Wedding Day! I am so pleased to hear it went so perfectly and its lovely to hear you so happy! Wait until the photos arrive, its so exciting - Beautiful photos to cherish forever.
Its lovely that you are going away in Sept, something to look forward too.

Excellent news from your GP then. At least the wheels are in motion and upping your dose is a good sign! Keep me posted wont u. I have every single finger crossed for you. Lets hope you can start the Clomid soon! Will help that you are in such a good place atm - Happiness can be the key sometimes to those positive thoughts making a difference.

Its been a rollercoaster since we last spoke, few admittances to hospital but i can report that things are still going well. I am 21 weeks at the moment (where has the time gone). Had a scan on Wednesday... Found out we are having a little girl. We have named her Paige. She is perfectly healthy and so far she is growing beautifully. The only issue i have is a low lying placenta which means i have to be scanned at 36 weeks and if it hasnt risen i could be having her early via C-Section. But im not worrying, im told its perfectly normal and quite common as long as i dont start bleeding heavily.

I really hope i can provide you with comfort and reassurance for when you do fall... There is and was, that doubt things would go wrong like last time but so far me and Paige are proving my doubts wrong!!

Its been lovely hearing from you!! Keep me posted wont u! X

 

[Loup89]

Aw, That all sounds a bit stressful! I am SO happy for you that things are ok and what a beautiful name! I hope everything works out as it should but as long as you are both healthy thats all that matters. When is your due date?

I'm on day 4 of clomid today feeling very happy, all the wedding stress has gone and we can just relax and hope for the best. I can't believe how much more relaxed I feel this past week, surely can only be a good thing!
I'm still taking metformin even though I'm not sure if it actually does anything for me and I've also just bought preseed as I've been reading some good things about it. I've been trying to temp but the last 2 mornings I've got out of bed a little late so I forgot, still going to give it a go just so I get used to doing it.

This is my last month ttc before what would have been my due date In August, I felt sure it had to happen before then but I can't keep putting pressure on myself, I feel positive that it will happen at some point, I'll be honest I'm not sure that will be soon but fingers crossed.

You really have given me a lot of hope these last few months and will do until the day I hold my baby, its so lovely to hear how everything is working out for you. Have you started buying anything yet?

Hope you're having a lovely relaxing week, I'm away all weekend hopefully spending some time in the sun! I'll pop on in the week and keep you posted xx

Hi ladies,

I don't mean to barge in suddenly! I posted this in Assisted Conception but no one has replied!

I too miscarried after my first round of Clomid. Miscarried at 13 weeks, baby's heart stopped at 9 weeks.

I'm wondering (sorry don't have time to browse through this thread, maybe its been asked already!) if you went on to try right away (or when doctor allowed) and if you went back on Clomid right away, or waited. And if you did go back on clomid, was it as successful?

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! Hopefully this might be of help.
As you may have read previously, i had a MMC in January - Found out at my 12 week scan, as with you, babys heart had stopped. 5 weeks after my ERPC i had AF and started my Clomid straight away! Even though i only had 1 follicle at a decent size and it is sometimes recommended to wait 2 cycles i am currently 22 weeks pregnant so it worked for me on my second try. They contradict themselves slightly as apparently you are more fertile following a MC. My FS was amazing, she told me that if i wanted to try straight away then as long as i felt emotionally able to do so to go right ahead.

Although the first round Clomid produced lots of mature follicles and lots of little ones near maturity - Which yes did result in a pregnancy - Which i later lost. The second try only had 1 good follicle - But this is all it took.

I personally, from experience would always try my Clomid straight away if i ever have the misfortune to experience a MC again... Keeping all fingers crossed for you!!! X

 

[Buttercup_Way]

Due 12th November but due to a low lying placenta i have to be scanned at 36 weeks with the possibility of a C-Section so end of Oct beginning of Nov.

Day 4 - I really do have everything crossed for you! The fact ur feeling so relaxed and stress free is definitely a good sign. With all the stress you have been under over the last few months now should be the perfect time! I read a lot about preseed when we were trying, i honestly dont think it can do any harm. I would have taken anything to even improve my odds by a fraction.

Try not to put pressure on yourself at all... This is just one of those things... I strongly believe your in a far better place now so its just a case of remaining positive and looking ahead. I do still find our first due date still haunts me a little. We would have been due this coming Thursday. Not sure anything will ever truly make it any easier - We just need to be grateful for what we have and what is to come. You have fallen pregnant, you know it will happen again!! Positive thoughts all the way.

Hope your having a fantastic weekend and enjoying some sunshine. I suffer with shockingly awful hayfever so im not and havent been in a great place. Plus im so hot all the time anyway it just makes it worse. But i am going to try and enjoy some sunshine tomorrow. My husbands been home today so ive spent some time with him.

Let me know how your weekend went! - Hope u have put on lots of sunscreen!! And keep me posted with everything!! X

 

[Loup89]

I had no idea how long I'd been away from here! I've had a completely crazy time lately but I thought it had only been a few weeks lol.

I hope you and baby are well? please let me know how everythings going, I kept meaning to get on and ask!

I've just moved house with my husband and one of our dogs, sadly the other one had to be rehomed, I'm beyond gutted about this but it just wasn't possible to keep him. Through this I've still been ttc but no luck yet the 100mg clomid has given me a 31 day cycle 2 months running now though so it may just be a matter of time I'm off on holiday on Thursday and when I get back I'm due to have a laparoscopy which I'm actually quite excited about in a weird way, will be so good to see if anything else is wrong and I've heard it can increase chances for the next few months.

Not long to go for you now Hope you've had a relaxing stress free few months xx

Time does slip away from you doesnt it. I have to say i havent been online for a while either, when i got an alert to say you had messaged it bought a smile to my face! Lovely to hear from you.

Me and baby are both doing fine. She is kicking like a little trooper. Not long now though, 7 weeks if shes on time but i know thats unlikely with your first. Few scares along the way as im sure is completely normal with any first pregnancy but the MW team is very supportive - Even with the daftness of questions lol.

You moved house! Very exciting... Altho ive only moved once, from parents in with partner it was such an amazing feeling. Minus the decorating - I absolutely hate painting lol. How is everything going? Settled in well?
I am sorry to hear you had to rehome one of your dogs. I know how upsetting it must have been, id be the same if i had to say goodbye to one of ours. Im sure he is with a loving family who can provide him with everything he needs. Got to think positively as sometimes things are entirely out of our control.

Really sorry to hear that your still TTC, sounds promising though with 2 cycles as regular as that - Lets keep all fingers crossed. At the end of the day it is always that much difficult with irregular cycles, once they start to maintain a regular pattern, hopefully that will be the beginning of things working. We know Clomid works for you.... Thats the most important thing!
I think id feel exactly the same as you, excited about the laparoscopy! Anything to ensure all is as it should be and detect any problems. I really do have everything crossed for you!!

Counting down the days until Maternity. My last day is 18th Oct.
Where are you off to on holiday? Have a fantastic time if i dont hear from you sooner!! X

 

[Loup89]

Hello my dear

Your due date must be any day now how exciting! Wishing you all the best!

I've just found out in pregnant also, my first cycle without clomid! Problem is I had a lap, dye test and hysteroscopy one week ago not realising I was pregnant and pregnancy test is showing 1-2 weeks when I should be 5 tomorrow I don't feel hopeful at all anymore. Urghhh this is stressful!
