  • I’ve hea I’ve heard about Angus cactus before and heard it’s good but I’m not really sure what it helps with exactly?? 
    Looks like a lot of people are struggling to find the thread too

    um i don’t think my af was too bad on the first one after mc think I had little bits of tissue in it but that’s normal and I get that now still sometimes too like 7/8 months down the line 
  • Hi ladies, I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago and ovulated last week (all seems very fast when I say it like that). DTD all last week when I was ovulating and even though I want to be positive, I can’t help feeling I’m going to struggle with this journey. We’re trying for baby number 1 so it’s really consuming me at the moment 
  • Hows everyone? Well I'm still here after having my 5th miscarriage last week, and along with other things going on I'm finding it really hard this time and I'm really struggling  :'( 


  • Oh Sherman I am so, so sorry there aren’t enough words to describe how sad this makes me and I so so wish I could give you a hug and a a big F*** you to Mother Nature for being a bitch

    Thank you MrsRees, I'm being referred back to the miscarriage specialist at our hospital. They did loads of tests last year but couldn't find anything wrong, and apart from my periods becoming more painful every month to the point I have trouble walking, nothing else has changed. 
  • My period when straight back to normal after miscarriage, it was a bit lighter to be fair.

    I still got to go to doctors as its been 2 years of trying after my ectopic but I keep putting it off. I hate to bother doctors when i’m not ill. I also worry I will get one who doesn’t understand. X

    sticky baby dust to all xx
  • Sweet cherry pie that’s how I feel about going to the doctors too, they are so under staffed down here that I feel bad for going and then I feel like they will fob me off because they won’t see it as important and won’t understand 

    Sherman that sounds awful surely they shouldn’t be hurting that much, I hope he doctors can help you, you definetly deserve your rainbow 🌈

    Thanks, it is horrible and I'm hoping they'll give me another scan to have a look to see what's happening in there. The hardest thing this time is my lil boy, because he knew when I was pregnant both times last year and when I lost them, me and my husband asked him after taking our first test this time if there was anything in my tummy. He said there was two babies, which made me wonder as the test did come up positive before it had even finished testing at 3 +4. Then when I had the miscarriage last week he said that there was only 1 baby left, I took another test yesterday afternoon and it was still showing positive after 2 minutes. I know that hcg can stay in your system for a few weeks after but this is the first miscarriage that I've still had positive tests a week later, I normally get a negative 2 days after. Then last night, we asked our lil boy if there was still a baby in my tummy, he thought a moment and said no, he's gone now to play with the other one :'( seriously broke my heart. I took another test this morning, as was gonna phone Drs but the line was fainter than yesterday so don't know what to think.
  • Hey ladies. Just wanted to pop by and say hello. Still seems to be a few of you I remember from 18 months ago, sorry to see some of you still here and trying for your 🌈. Just cos I haven’t been here doesn’t mean I don’t think about you all still. Sending hugs 🤗 xxx
  • Hi everyone I hoped I wouldn't see an af after misscariage but I did it wasn't to bad but lasted a little longer than normal for me think it was the full 7 days normally I'm about 5 

    Been tracking my cycle this month and don't know if it's really been a good thing but got over excited today as I got a smiley face for ovulation I really didn't want it to turn into a chore to bed but since that smiley face this morning all day I've felt like we have been wasting time to bed and panicking it will be to late if we don't hurry up lol I'm so destaprate to fall again but so scared at the same time it will happen all over again but totally willing to take that risk xx
  • Rainbowsunshine I know that feeling too well, I became a bit obsessed after first mc about ov testing and trying to dtd on the right days and not too late in the day if I could help it and the worry about getting pregnant is understandable too it was so hard to deal with a mc and unfortunately I did go on to have a second one too but it took me a year to get pregnant the second time around only to loose it again

    try to stay positive and remember that sperm quality drops if you dtd too much try to stick to every other day before ovulation and maybe everyday for the day before, day of and day after to try and get good quality sperm 😊
  • Rainbowsunshine, we seem to be on the same track with our stories 

    I too had af after mc and save for some pain the night before which was unreal, it was relatively normal 

    I’m due to ovulate Tuesday but have been testing anyways and my body seems to be on track again, and I’m just keeping everything crossed every time I do an opk that it will be positive 

    keep in touch and maybe we can help each other through the tww

    im finally feeling positive about it all though x
  • Hi ladies have been lurking through the post and wondered if I could join in if that’s ok! I recently had a natural m/c on 12/3/19 I was 8 weeks, it was my first pregnancy following my nexplanon removal in October 2018. The bleeding stopped around 5 days ago and spotting stopped 2 days ago, me and my partner have DTD since it’s all stopped as we are eager to TTC again. Feel quite up and down about it all currently feel like everywhere I look someone has had a baby or is pregnant, I’ve had quite a bit of time off work due to an earlier bleed and I go back next Friday and I know there are 5 other people who are pregnant too, feel very anxious about if I become upset. Sorry for the long post, and I’m sorry to hear about your losses ladies xx
  • Dmr1996 sorry to hear your going through this. It’s totally normal to feel very up and down I found after my miscarriages that I could have a good few days then have some really difficult days and yes you will notice that e etyone seems to be pregnant which is really hard. After my first miscarriage I asked my boss to tell the girls I worked with what had happened so they knew. I work in a nursery so I went into visit for a few hours before I went back just to say hello to the families and kids (they didn’t know the reason why I’d been off) it also gave me a chance to get the initial welcome back and how are you questions done before I started back.  Just take it slow, I had a really supportive boss who made sure I was ok xx

    Hiya did they give you any advice on what to do? Just go straight back into it? I'm bleeding currently from an MC at just 5 weeks so curious if it's OK to go ahead once it's all clear.

    Nice to meet you!

    Hi I'm in the same position as you pretty much. The best advice someone gave me was at least you know you CAN get pregnant. That is the main worry of most women. There's a small chance miscarriage will happen again and statistics say it is less likely to happen after the first than say a second miscarriage. That's not to say you wont but its really made me hopeful. My main worry was I can't, so now I know I can when I do get pregnant again I can be more prepared.

    I'm so sorry to hear about this, have you kept a diary? Sometimes you might be doing something that might contribute to MC. Also get your blood checked? You may be low in something or have trouble absorbing a particular vitamin/nutrient.

    The absolute best thing about the whole situation is that you know you CAN get pregnant. That's one hurdle you have got over ❤️
  • Shoot for the stars sorry for your loss too, my boss has been good t me throughout all of it too, I think I might do that ask her to tell others, my close friends at work know but as for others I just want the dreaded questions out the way! Me and my partner have been away which has been lovely for a few days to not think about it but going back today is a bit like a smack in the face and back to reality, I know it’s just one of those down days hoping it gets better over the coming weeks xx

    Nice to meet you! 
    Hi! They told me to wait 2 weeks to prevent infection but I’ve been reading everywhere that once the bleeding stops and you feel physically and emotionally ready then to go for it! They wanted me to wait one cycle purely for dating purposes but to be honest I’m not really expecting to catch immediately so we will see what happens! 
    So sorry for your loss xx

    To be honest it caught me completely out the blue. We weren't trying properly I'd just stopped using my contraception. So it was very quick from... I'm pregnant...to... I'm not. So I'm OK about it, slightly more keen now I suppose!
