Miscarriage/Loss General Discussion #3

Alison- yep I am certain it happened again!
My bleeding was so heavy for days I kept mentioning to dh this is not right nor normal for me then I lost what I think was a sac and that was the end bleeding went to spotting and feel better not crampy etc.


Afm- I am now waiting to ovulate (cd11) the maybe baby shows cycle is on track so fingers crossed it will be only a couple of days away! So hoping my cycle is also back to 27/28 days I miss my regular cycles makes things so much easier when tracking.

oh gosh Ashie that really sucks!!! Fingers crossed things get back on track for you this month!

I had bloods again today and after good progesterone numbers Monday they told me today they're not looking so good, they've only gone up a little bit since Monday. She said it's not a terrible level but not great. I feel AF is not far away which sucks because I'm only CD20, 6DPO today so a decent luteal phase is looking unlikely. So much for my cycles getting back on track, last month must have been a fluke grrrr.

Had another bHCG on tuesday which was 15,000! Then had scan yesterday which showed a beautiful heartbeat of 100bpm! I think this is really happening :)

Great numbers Freya :hug:

Freya- what fantastic numbers! And big yay for a heartbeat! I think we will be eagerly awaiting your birth announcement next year! So happy for you congratulations!

Alison- oh I hope your af could hold of for a few more days.

Afm- ovulating atm yay! So fingers crossed its a 27/28 cycle for me woohoo! I have tracked my cycle for a year I seem to know myself and know roughly when things are happening feeling quite proud of myself lol. Hoping that knowing all this info will help with ttc.

:happyforyou: Freya that's fantastic news! Congratulations!!

Hi Alison - yes grrr! If it helps I feel similarly, I have af now (no luck this cycle) and I could tell I was out from 10dpo where I got a faint sign of discoloured cm... really 10dpo the spotting? GRRRRRRR. Still, progesterone is a problem they can deal with right? And better they see your low progesterone in action so that they can make sure you've got it covered for a possible pregnancy cycle to come. Do you know what their plan is for next month?

ashie - Hoping as well that everything is back on track for you this month, yay for ovulating!

Hi ladies,
It's been a while, sorry, just been busy trying to keep busy, looking for work and it seems as of today - back on the roller coaster of a BFP!
Alison and Ashie, I remember you both from the TTC threads, and here we are together.
I know I feel better posting in here, as you all get it.
I want to soooo be happy, again it appears this LO knows what great timing is (must get it from
DH!) as I am yet again looking for work, and in general the timing sucks. We were being careful, and only DTD once (that I can recall) without protection, at 5 dats after AF. And we were both 'planning' a break emotionally. We have seen a FS, who basically said I would need to have had 3 losses to warrant $$ testing, or tests that he can cover.
Of course it is more than wanted, and already loved and longed for.
And it's only POAS official, have a Dr appt on wed, which will make AF AWOL for 7 days.
I think I'm 4w 5d.
Best of luck to you all ladies, and thanks for listening!

Congrats Freya and congrats MLR! I'm keeping my fingers crossed these bubs will be sticky ones!
I've had 2 periods since m/c in June. Have been trying to DTD on the right times, but am slowly loosing faith in my body to conceive by itself without help... I know I've been away from this thread most of the time as I feel that I've moved on. As always life goes on. I'm feeling good at the moment, have been extremely busy working, planning the wedding and our holiday, which is only days away. Even though I'll struggle when I'll meet my new niece for the first time, at the same time I'm really looking forward to meeting my nieces and nephews. (my brother has 4 kids - argh, can't they share :))
Even things I struggled with before, like this 48 year old drug & alcohol addict who is pregnant and due on my angel bub's original due date, I was really angry with her for falling pregnant again, baby nr 6 or 7?! I've calmed down, and know she can't help it...
Anyhow, enough about me.. I'm glad that for most of us AF has finally come and some of us even moved on to the next pregnancy! I can't wait to hear more announcements and I can't wait to announce our own little one, one day in the future!
hugs for everyone!

Congrats MLR I am over the moon for you!!! I hope and pray this is it for you xx

Congratulations MLR. FX this is your sticky.

Thanks Joeve (massive congrats btw!) and Porsche,
But I think I spoke to soon.
Not really sure what to do, despite being on this road before.
We saw a FS on the 9/8, (along with previous post) he suggested taking extra folate and aspirin
We got a surprise BFP on the 1/9
Today I have slight bleeding - could this be a chemical (AF was due 29/8)
Implantation
Or M/C?
I have a Dr appt on Wed anyway, but if it's a chemical or m/c I want it on my records as the FS suggested if we have another loss then he will be able to request testing.
What would you do??

How much bleeding? I had a definite implant bleed with this pregnancy but it was before my bfp. I had another 2 bleeds at 12 weeks but only a few wipes worth.

Thanks for replying Joeve,
So far it's been when wiping but clearish and bright red ITMS? slight cramping feeling
I'm pretty sure I'd be 5w today, I've never had implantation bleeding with the other pregs
Fx it's just that...

Hi MLR, I have everything crossed for you. I am not sure what could be going on for you, I hope you don't spend too long in limbo. I will pop in to see how you are going. Did you see the tests I suggested for people who have two blighted Ovums?? I got tested a few months ago and all clear, this test can be done bulk bill at the GP, let me know if you would like the names again. Sending you strength to meet the next few weeks xx

Hi MLR, I am hoping it works out ok for you. xx

I would suggest getting a bHCG asap to see what your levels are doing, I really hope its just one of those random bleeds that doesnt mean anything MLR :hug:

Thanks ladies, well appears it was just a few wipes worth (sorry for TMI) but has stopped.
Went to drs today, have done a BT for hcg, and tsh (thyroid) as they still keeping an eye on it.
I'm over the moon my pap came back clear as the last 6 years have been CIN3 and 2 laser treats so I'm very happy with that!!
I'm not joining the BB group just yet will wait until after scan - at 7 weeks - so I have 1w and 5d to wait!
I'm praying daily there will be a heartbeat...
Thanks again,
Great to see some of you graduating!!!

I'm behind but congrats MLR1901, I didn't realise you were pregnant! I hope the bleed was a one off, I've had so many of them but of course they've all ended badly so I have no idea what causes them otherwise. I do know lots of people who have had them and been fine so keep keeping on and I'm sure this will one be a sticky :o) That's great news on your pap smear as well, what a relief!

AFM - Day 27 and AF arrived this arvo so that means technically I'm Day 1 tomorrow, Day 28 - the best cycle I've had in a loooong time! Only had a tiny spot of spotting yesterday otherwise nothing until full flow today. Normally I get 3 days of consistent brown spotting around day 22 and then by day 25 AF is here so i'm pretty happy. Have my FS appointment tomorrow, first one in 8 weeks so looking forward to seeing what his thoughts are after doing my first tracking cycle with them! I know my prog is still a little low as they told me but it can't be as bad as it has been, I'm really thinking the last miscarriage re-booted my hormones, hope it only gets better, I need all the help I can get!! Will let you know how my appointment goes. I'm feeling pretty scared about the whole pregnancy again thing though, my good friend's sister who is my age just had to give birth to her 20 week gestation boy yesterday as she went for her 19 week scan last week to be told he had trisomy 18 (edwards syndrome), so so sad and scary as it wasn't picked up at the 12 week scan. Makes me stress about all the things that can go wrong at my age, ho hum.
