Thanks @Rose68 I'm not really wanting to do ivf, it's busy not for me. Waiting for my NHS gynae appointment booked next month and will get results from blood test for clotting. Then waiting for DH to sort out his next semen analysis and DNA test so I can then book next private consultation. Will wait to see then what is next.

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 18:17

@InDreamland it's a horrid horrid time. There's nothing wrong with you. Of course you're going to be upset/down. Don't beat yourself up and just embrace it and ride out the feelings. Reminders are everywhere. It's shit. Completely shit 😢
I'm watching the Hairy Bikers and they're cooking for an expectant couple. The husband keeps saying "now baby's on its way... ". I keep saying "wow, you're confident... "🙄
Babies and pregnancy is everywhere, it's chucked in our faces day in and day out. In real life and on telly.
I know we're 'hyper-aware' but fuck me, enough already!

@ratherbeshowjumping that FB group has made my blood boil! I'm already super emotional and sensitive as it is. How fucking dare they. Do they have any idea how lucky they are? I would give so much to just have a baby, boy or girl who fucking well cares. One baby, one full term healthy baby that I can hold in my arms and bring home. Sorry but they should hang their heads in shame, ungrateful so and so's

@tigsyboo there has been an interesting discussion on the TTC after pregnancy loss thread about baby asprin and the pros and cons. You might be interested in reading it.

Rose68 · 21/02/2019 18:10

@Twittle sorry your LO is poorly, I hope he is better soon 🙁

@Tigsy you should definitely have had a TV scan, maybe it was a crap sonographer. They could tell my pregnancy didn’t look right abdominally at 6.5 and 7.5 weeks, but they still did the internal scan and they could see much more.

@Indreamland Sending you hugs, do you think you will try ivf or anything else? Flowers

InDreamland · 21/02/2019 18:00

Ladies, I don't know what's wrong with me. While up this morning feeling tearful and almost cried twice whilst getting ready for work. Then at work, we'll at a conference with loads of colleagues there were a couple of presentations and both basically mentioned being heavily pregnant, maternity leave, being pregnant and giving birth ....... totally unrelated to the subject but general comments thrown in ......... well, cue set me off .......I just feel so low. Tomorrow my first baby should be 4 weeks old.Sad or I should be 19 weeks pregnant now.

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 17:37

@Rose68
I paid last time and they refused to do TV only abdo and could only see the sack.... this was the start of my worry and ultimately the miscarriage process

ratherbeshowjumping · 21/02/2019 17:24

@Twittle, hope you're little boy gets better soon, bless him. Lots of cuddles xx

God he sounds awful @tigsy! Glad you set him on the straight and narrow.

Rose68 · 21/02/2019 16:59

@Tigsy you should be able to get an early scan when you see your GP, but they might make you wait until 8 weeks on the nhs. Otherwise I would just pay for one x

@Frazzle it doesn’t seem fair how fast they grow does it. DS2 was getting upset because he doesn’t want me to change, so I was like, well I didn’t want you to change, where did my little baby go! 😢

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 16:38

Thanks @Frazzlerock
It makes me so angry that I pay my NI contributions for 20 years and when I want something I'm told 'wait for 2 more babies to die first!' Wtf?!

I'm not really sure of the benefits / negative
I've read the baby aspirin can't hurt but could help... but when the stock NHS answer is computer says no it's hard to get anywhere!

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 16:21

@tigsy that is really bad! I'm glad they let you book an appointment with your GP. can understand your fury!
Re aspirin, I took 75mg everyday along with progesterone and it didn't make the blindest bit of difference. I will still probably take it again though as it doesn't cause any harm. Progesterone is expensive though, if you go down that route. £75 for three months worth. Luckily baby aspirin is cheap as chips.

Not even sure that 'ingratitude' is a word. That's how cross it makes me.

Hope your DS starts feeling better soon @TwittleBee, what's up? We had the horrendous cough/cold in our house but no fever. Your heart breaks for them doesn't it

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 16:15

Really angry
Called Dr today as first proper day of missed period and got a locum (on the phone) who basically told me nhs aren't interested unless I've lost 3 babies and to 'keep my fingers crossed'!!

I gave him a right ear bending about how epu last time told me to ask for a referral when we next got pregnant to help with reassurance and that I had hcg monitoring last time and he just was not interested!!
My normal gp is back from holiday a week today so I have insisted I get an apt with her and they have reluctantly agreed to make an advance appointment
Fuming!!

I've been reading up on baby / low dose aspirin helping with clotting issues that many MC can be linked to- has anyone heard any pro/con stories ??about it

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 15:58

Disappointed they have a healthy baby in there so far...
There is so much vileness in the world Sad

@Twittle oh poor little boy, everyone is ill right now. I hope he feels better soon. Lots of fluids, Calpol, and cuddles xx

TwittleBee · 21/02/2019 15:44

I am so behind on chat today, but jeez what on earth is with those FB groups? What do they even talk about? I am so bloody confused.

DS is proper ill, so been with him as he only wants cuddles and is proper burning up. Hate seeing him like this, breaks my heart. He's so active usually but now he is all limp and sad looking.

ratherbeshowjumping · 21/02/2019 15:41

I think we all should Frazzle.

It's really shocking. I reported the group but god knows if it would make a difference or not. Almost 2000 people joining to sit & talk about their "disappointments."

😡

BettySwoll0cks · 21/02/2019 15:23

I'm still raging about that FB group 😡 I think I'm quite good at looking at things objectively, and honestly even if I didn't have my own history of baby loss, I would still find that level of ingratitude absolutely outrageous.

Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 15:11

I feel like joining to give them a piece of my mind

OP posts:
Frazzlerock · 21/02/2019 15:09

@rather that is disgraceful! I agree with you @Betty, they absolutely do not deserve to be pregnant.

OP posts:
BettySwoll0cks · 21/02/2019 15:04

Sorry? "Not what I expected"? Can that actually be serious. Those people need to have a word with themselves. They don't deserve the good fortune to be pregnant.

I know that sounds harsh but I find that attitude extremely upsetting.

ratherbeshowjumping · 21/02/2019 14:17

Yay @Kinsters and really glad your DH is there too!

Oh god @Rose68 what a nightmare about the drone. I hope your DS isn't too upset 😢

Aww @Frazzlerock that's very sweet. It must have been lovely to look back on memories you probably have completely forgotten about.

Saw this on FB earlier. Made me so angry. "Not What I Expected..." "Disappointment Group"... disappointed to have a healthy baby? Surely people don't actually join it to sit and lament their woes of being burdened with a "disappointing" gender?

I know the tablet works better in men to clear it.... my DH. Tried the cream once and it reoccurred as it's easily wiped off on underwear for men.... maybe wait until TWW and you use the pessary and DH uses the tablet??

Rose68 · 21/02/2019 13:53

You shouldn’t take the tablet whilst ttc, it has to be the pessary x

Rose68 · 21/02/2019 13:51

@Kinsters DH does need to use the cream, even if he doesn’t have any symptoms. I think the cream should be enough.

Oh no for your DH’s drone! This one was flying away from us towards the trees, really high because I wanted to see how high it would go 🤦‍♀️ I couldn’t even work out how to make it come back, whatever we did it just went further away and into the trees 😩

tigsyboo · 21/02/2019 13:41

I'm pretty sure you both need the tablet Fluconazole, to clear it @Kinsters Xx

Kinsters · 21/02/2019 13:08

I didn't even think about that tigsy 😳 should I get something for him even if he has no symptoms?

Rose oh no about the drone! It's so easy to do. DH used to have one and he flew it out over the sea to see how far it could go... didn't factor in the the headwind... It was awful waiting to see if it could make it back before the battery died (it couldn't).
