Hoping for a new year miracle!

@dizzy85 fingers crossed it is good news for you. It's hard not to attach yourself to every bit of hope.

I got my letter through today and my appointment is on the 16th March, cant quite believe how quick it is to be honest, finally a bit of positive news x

@ceebee21 definitely fingers and toes and everything crossed for us both 😊 I am fed up with it all too lol. I have been quite relaxed this tww up until last night, I had some random spotting when I wiped so my brains automatically thinking implantation, I usually get pre af spotting that starts around cd 24ish and last night was cd19 so now I'm overthinking it and the madness has begun again 😂

@dizzy85 I don't think I will OV until Wednesday, so won't be testing until next weekend! Fingers crossed for both of us.

Fed up with it all now haha

@ceebee21 yer it's still worth trying whilst you wait. I think I'm gonna make an app with a lady dr instead of my usual man one then at least I'll know she will understand more when I talk about hormones aswell.
Hopefully we just get bfps this month though and we don't need to go through all that 🤞🏻 I'm gonna start testing Thursday/Friday.

@Jonesbabynumber1 I'm so sorry about AF. Glad to hear about your holiday - it sounds amazing. Just take some time to relax and look forward to it!

@dizzy85 I am not sure yet, I am waiting for my letter, which should hopefully come this week.

I am back in fertile week, so still just trying and hoping for the best... If we don't try we will never know what could have been!!

I'm just glad to know that I will be seen sooner rather than later if you know what I mean.

Definitely worth speaking to your GP, I was really surprised that she was willing to refer me, but so glad she has x

@Jonesbabynumber1 aw I'm so sorry af came. I hope your ok. How are you feeling about having a break? Your birthday holiday sounds amazing I'm jealous 🥳

Morning all, just catching up had a hectic week.
@ceebee21 that's great they're actually listening to you and willing to help, I'm gonna mention this to my dr as I do have a couple of autoimmune disorders and see what he thinks. When is your appointment for the clinic?

@BabyB19 hope your feeling abit better now? I can understand that feeling of worry, hopefully that does go eventually tho and you can start enjoying it more. I'm def gonna try the acupuncture next month if nothing happens this month. I'm all good Thankyou, 4/5 DPO now hopefully this is the month lol

@Jonesbabynumber1 i really am sending you so much luck for the future! You deserve a good holiday! Please take some time for yourself and remember your self care and I baby dust for that bfp when your ready to try again 🥰

I read a lot on it before I got my bfp @dizzy85 and there seems to be a lot of positive stories surrounding it! I'm ok thank you, have had migraines for weeks so feeling crappy but the silver lining is worth it. Still not for passed the anxiety of worrying something is wrong like 🤷🏽‍♀️ how are you doing?

@dizzy85 I have had two since starting in July.

I don't know about other Auto Immune issues, that was my main lead when I went, saying I know they test for others so is it worth testing for them on me, given my current one etc.

I have done a lot of research about it all and NK cells comes up a lot, although not really treated or tested for on the NHS - Dr Shehata in Epsom is the one I am looking at, and I may well go there if no luck with the NHS. x

@Jonesbabynumber1 how you doing have you tested again?

@BabyB19 hope your doing good. I was actually doing some reading about acupuncture last week and said to my OH it's something I wanna try.

@ceebee21 ah that's good news for you definitely a positive appointment, I bet you much feel better. how many miscarriages have you had? That's good they're going to help. Do you have other autoimmune issues as well as the hashimotos? Just wondering as I have a few myself and wondering if it's playing a part in my miscarriages etc.

Well some good news, I have managed to get referred to the recurrent Miscarriage clinic (I think) for further tests, due to my existing auto immune issues.

It is quite a relief as at least I can have some further testing and maybe some help for one to stick if I manage to get pregnant again.

The GP was very helpful and didn't hesitate to refer me at all.

@Jonesbabynumber1 mine was 12.5 last time it was checked I think the ok range is 20-130? Not 100% though

@Jonesbabynumber1 no I haven't, so would be good to see one.

Myiron ferritin is 139 ug/L upper end of the scale

Xx

Hi ladies, I'm so sorry to read you are all feeling so down atm and no further bfp's. I know it's not for everyone but just wondered if any of you had tried acupuncture at all? My friend is trying it at the minute to get ready for when she starts ttc and she said it has made a massive amount of difference to her cycle already, her periods have completely changed etc. It can't do any harm to look into surely?! X

@dizzy85 @Jonesbabynumber1 Thank you.

I have had most of the blood tests that the NHS will do, and tbh I really think it is something to do with my immune system; I have booked the appointment for April, but may well push it back to June depending on how I fell next month.

I just can't face waiting and waiting and potentially having more miscarriages when deep down I know there is something wrong; they can't seem to get my thyroid levels right at all, they are all over the place.

I am going to the GP tomorrow and just going to have a moan really and let them know it is really affecting me and I just feel like we are not getting anywhere with the treatment etc

@ceebee21 sorry your struggling at the moment. Won't the drs investigate further into it so you don't have to pay private? Hopefully it's not that though and it's just the stress of ttc. Are you gonna try anything different this cycle?

@Jonesbabynumber1 sorry for the bfn yesterday I really hope it changes soon your definitely not out yet

@Jonesbabynumber1 fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@dizzy85 I'm ok, struggling a bit tbh at the moment. I'm leaning towards feeling like mu hashimotos is causing problems and knowing I may have to go private to get it sorted.

Come to the end of af now, so will give it a few more months and go from there.

@Jonesbabynumber1 how did you get on xx
