TW: LC
11 week MMC in March, my sister is due in 2 weeks, I was meant to be due in 7 weeks.
Needless to say this cycle felt important - my last chance to get pregnant before my nephew arrives.
We both have one LC already and although I didn’t miscarry, I did take a year to fall pregnant and she got pregnant very quickly, so I had a year of negatives watching her bump grow. That time I fell pregnant 3 weeks before her baby arrived and thankfully all went smoothly. It was a really hard year for me. Lots of envy and we drifted apart. The couple of intervening years were amazing, we were so close, our babies love each other.
We’ve drifted again since my miscarriage - she was with me in the scan where I found there was no heartbeat. We still talk and when we hang we are fine, we chat really openly. But we don’t chit chat anywhere near as much because I can’t bring myself to ask her about her pregnancy, I feel so guilty.
This cycle felt like a mirror of my successful one with my son, and I had sooo much hope - even saw a rainbow blob in the sky on a hot sunny day.
Also my mum just wants to “fix” me (why don’t you get a loan out and do IVF?) because I’m bringing the family mood down at an exciting time and I feel super guilty for that as well.
Booked a GP appointment for today as soon as I got my negative test, but I could only get one with the doctor who always dismisses pretty much any concern you have about anything. I cried and she said “well you’re not going to get pregnant like that”. She also told me not to track ovulation and made me feel stupid for doing it. I did manage to get her to refer me for a scan to check for scarring, just something to feel like I’m doing something.
She wouldn’t refer me to fertility even though the NHS says 6 months over 35 (I’m 37). She said she will only do it after 9 failed cycles post miscarriage.
Currently having a solo glass of wine in the sun as my work gives us summer Fridays off. A dream situation in normal life but oh how I wish I wasn’t allowed this wine!
Thank you for letting me vent here, it’s always cathartic to get it out especially when you know people reading will understand.
We love when our strugglers move on and get a BFP, but we also recognize that for others pregnancy announcements can be really triggering. To create a space where we both celebrate and protect our members, all BFP and current pregnancy mentions are restricted to this dedicated weekly thread.
Did you get a BFP this week?! Let us know below. We’re so happy for you 🥹🫶.
Not much to say just feeling hopeless this cycle. Not sure why. I’m only cd 8. But I’m in an age gap relationship n my old man has a hard time getting it up n we kinda NEED that to happen to make a baby. (He’s not THAT old) Should I look into meds for that? Idk pls be kind guys cause I’m being VERY vulnerable n putting a lot out there. Maybe I shouldn’t be I feel safe here. I just hope n pray I get my surprise miracle this cycle cause Im so tired of waiting for it to be my turn 😩😭 also my hormones crashed today but my pee looked pretty diluted n it’s only cd 8. Should I be worried? (Ignore the tt message lol)
We all know how emotionally draining TTC can be, that’s why we’re here. Sometimes it feels like it’s taking over your entire life and you can’t think about anything else.
That’s where Positive vibes Thursday comes in. What made you smile this week? What are you looking forward to this weekend? Did you read an inspiring quote that you want to share? Have a great tv show rec? Cute dog pic to share?
This thread is for anything and everything that can help brighten a fellow members day and remind them that there is light at the end of the tunnel 💛.
I need some positive stories 😭 I conceived my first baby on our 2nd cycle, so I honestly thought getting pregnant again would be pretty straightforward. Well… here I am on cycle 5 of TTC baby #2 and still not pregnant.
I know 5 cycles isn’t considered a super long time, but it feels SO long when you conceived your first so quickly. Every negative test has me wondering what changed. 😭
Has anyone else had it take 5+ cycles for baby #2 and eventually conceived naturally without needing any intervention? I’m really just looking for some positive stories right now because I need to hear that it can take longer the second time and still work out. ❤️
Ok so I’m 10 dpo today n I sent my chart to google n their ai said that there’s a clear secondary rise in estrogen n pdg n that it’s highly suggestive of pregnancy. Just wondering your guys opinions on the matter. Is google on to something or no? I also did a cervix check n it’s high soft n closed which google said indicates either upcoming ovulation OR pregnancy n I already got confirmed ovulation so…I just don’t wanna get my hopes up for nothing cause I keep doing that n it hurts like hell when I’m wrong. I also have a lot of symptoms that don’t make me think my period is coming. This isn’t how I normally feel in the luteal phase.
