TTCAL waiting (not so patiently) for our rainbows

[comotion89]

can't help you there Kelly, but maybe you could help me? did you spot at all for a while post the heavy bleeding? I've been spotting since Thursday.

someone asked me why DH didn't want to use preseed anymore, well he thinks it's too I'm slippery up in there haha he didn't enjoy it as much.

sorry about the bfn galvan, and becks I probably wouldn't go if you don't feel like it.

 

[Kellya009]

Comotion I bled for 2.5 weeks in total! Only about 4 heavy/medium days in there and the rest was light spotting. But it felt never ending! That's me though . Hopefully it cuts it out in a few days!

Thanks for ur reply and ur kind words Kelly xx I have a busy christmas planned so just goign to try and stay strong until the scan on 30th & try not to get myself too worked up! I read somewhere that if u see the hb at about 7 weeks the PG has a 78% chance of success so I'm hoping we get that hb!! I said to my honey last night that all i want for xmas is a hb & healthy baby - the poor bloke! lol Re ur af hun I have had 4 mc's this year and it's normal to have weird periods /clots / shorter /longer periods after ur miscarriage - it is just ur body getting back to normal hun & sorry to be gross but clearing everything out - glad u got af & u can start trying again soon xx

Hi to everyone else - hope ur all well xx

Sorry not been on much ladies, been feeling reassuringly terrible lol!!

Galvan sorry for the bfn hun maybe it's still early and a little chance left this cycle? Hope so!

Sunshine sorry to hear you are worrying hun it's so hard trying to remain positive after so many losses, hopefully your scan will come round quick now.

Kelly sounds about right to me, mine is always outside of the norm for AF when it's after a loss. Hopefully you won't have another now for about 9 months

Tasha hope you are well and all your appointments make this next month fly by!

Babytots hope you aren't feeling too bad hun, when's your next scan? Sorry if you've already said

Yazzy, fingers crossed for your TTC cycle!!

Sil, thinking of you today, hope the scan goes well x

Beckz, sorry you are feelings pants, but it's all good to feel so bad!!!

Comotion sending hugs

Hi spud, welcome xxx sorry for your loss and to hear you are WTMC

 

[dan-o]

Ps. Sorry if I've forgotten anyone, I have serious brain fog atm!

 

[sil]

Ahhh ladies, first scan is in 1 hour! So nervous they'll find a MMC Fingers crossed..

 

[GalvanBaby]

Cd1.

 

[Kellya009]

SIL hope it went great!! Waiting for an update

AFM, AF is doing the exact same thing as my mc bleeding did. By lunchtime I've stopped bleeding and I think it's over and then the next morning it starts up again! Only on CD 6 so expect it to end for real tomorrow!!

 

[Beckzter]

C'mon Sil, how did the scan go?

Thanks for letting me rant the other day. Over the past couple of days at work the night out has gone from a big party to small gathering with a lot of people not drinking. I've already been telling them I won't be drinking as I've been feeling unwell with my cold, teehee and I've decided to wear my jeans that still fit with a smart top and a blazer with heels to dress it up.

Midwife tomorrow. Hooray! Had a little panic at work this morning when I found a very small amount of brown cm in my knickers. Been mildly cramping a little bit today and still felling rough.

Boo for CD1 Galvan. Kelly I've had AF like that too, so blumming annoying!

 

[Camichelle]

Fx'd for a terrific scan Sil!

Doc finally called back after consulting with a hemotologist on my elevated blood test results. He said there's nothing clinically significant to high levels... Only an issue if they're low. So we can at least rule out that it's a clotting issue. Wishing AF would come so I can schedule my hysterogram and maybe get some answers.

 

[Camichelle]

Hope no one minds if I pose this question but for any ladies that suffered multiple losses, what kind of testing did you have done and were you able to find a cause? If we don't find anything in the uterus dye scan I'll be meeting with a recurrent loss specialist and want to go prepared with a list of questions.

 

[sil]

Scan was great!! Heart was 173 bpm, measuring right on track at 7w6d with an edd of July 29. Crazy day so I can't post much now, but tomorrow I will come back and catch up on everyone elses posts. Thanks again for all of the support through both good and the bad so far, it really does mean a lot to me to have you ladies in this thread being here for me. It sounds sort of silly, but I almost think of you all as an online family that I can go to. Few people understand the fears and trials and tribulations like you do.

 

[Camichelle]

Oh Sil!!! So happy for you!!!! You must be so relieved!

 

[GalvanBaby]

Camichelle, I am not sure exactly what tests they do. I have had 2 MCs, so no testing for me yet. My gyno said that if I have another, they will start doing tests. Hopefully, someone can help you in here.

 

[Kellya009]

Sil!!!!! That is amazing! What a lovely thing to see that heartbeat

 

[Tasha]

SIL so pleased for you

Camichelle, I've had loads and loads of bloods which include looking for clotting issues, thyroid issues, liver function, full blood count amp more (I can't remember what), I've had karotyping (genetic to see if either my husband or I have any chromosomal abnormalities), a TEG which looks at how your blood clots rather than specific blood clotting disorders (theory behind that is they believe there are still clotting disorders that they've not discovered yet so if you have one of those your blood could be very sticky but there won't be a known clotting disorder to treat), I've had a uterine biopsy and blood tests for natural killer cells.

I have factor V Leiden (blood clotting disorder), my TEG came back that my blood clots very fast and wide, I have MTHFR (stops absorption of synthetic folic acid and also affects clotting) and elevated natural killer cells.

I hope that helps a little. If you have any questions just ask x

 

[Kellya009]

Sooo... My light and clottty period did not end on cd7. It turned into a massive blood storm 😩. Ugh the cramps are unpleasant and Ive just passed a clot the size of 2 quarters. I've never had an AF longer than 7 days ever! Tomorrow will be 8 days. I know AF is wacky after mc but I'm hoping it's over in a day or two... Has anyone had a long AF before?

 

[Kellya009]

And also I STILL have the slightest shadow on a pg test. I wouldnt even trust it for a BFP its so slight and I could have line eye. Hopefully when this period ends I'll have a stark bfn.

 

[Kellya009]

I have another question for you guys too... Sorry posting so much tonight. If I don't stop bleeding till close to ovulation, do you think that my lining will build up enough for a pregnancy? Maybe I will have a long cycle and ovulate late.

 

[babytots]

Sil so pleased your scan went well hun. Its such wonderful news.

Galvan sorry af got you hun hope this cycle you get a lovely bfp.

Kelly my af after this miscarriage was longer then normal and more clotty. Figured it was just having a good clear out after the miscarriage. Hope it stops soon.

Dan-o how are you feeling? I'm finding it slightly easier now to deal with my sickness. Counting down the days til I can feel human again and stop taking my tablets.

Tasha double figures now wahoo!!! Hope your well hun.

Sunshine hope your doing ok. Looks like 3 of us have a scan on the 30th (you, me and Tasha) I hope it comes round quickly for us all.

Beckster hope your doing ok?

Camichelle I had the same tests as Tasha mentions although I was never tested for mthfr or for nk cells. All mine came back normal.

Hope I've not missed anyone if I have then my apologises.

AFM plodding along as you do. Had m/w appointment yesterday which went well. Classed as a high risk pregnancy so will be consultant led and hopefully get an appointment through soon so I can discuss my antibodies and the care plan that they will set out to ensure they don't attack baby. Also the peads will be notified because baby may need to go to the special care unit or even nicu if he/she is affected by the antibodies. So much to take in but trying to stay positive that baby will be ok.

Nuchal scan is booked in for the 15th which works out well as its just over 2 weeks after my scan with the epu so not long to wait. x
