Long Cycle girls TTC #2

Oh @xojellybean hope you're ok

@Tink2019 that's good news. The worry never ends! Hoping your scan goes well and in the meantime, try to relax.

@xoJellyBean oh no, I agree with @Pol96 but do what you think Is best. Hope you're ok.

@xoJellyBean For what it's worth I agree with @Pol96...you might feel sad if you see a positive but it's good to have that info. If the test is negative then could it be down to change in diet (I reduced sugars and carbs last cycle and had the only clot-free non-heavy period I've ever had) or medication? I hope you're ok xx

@xoJellyBean I totally get that.. Maybe think of it this way though.. If the test is positive then you did conceive.. Which means you can again, and if for some horrible reason you need any kind of fertility treatment or investigations done then they're more likely to do it earlier because of it? But totally understand if you don't want to know, have they given you something for the pain? x

Thanks @Tink2019, good luck for your scan too

@xoJellyBean Omg.. Are you okay, how do you feel if it is? Have you taken a test to see if there's anything on it? Even if it's a miscarriage /chemical I reckon hcg will show up..

@Pol96 Gosh that's going to be hard, hopefully it'll go fast! Ah bet it's lovely seeing the baby. If all is ok in 3 weeks we're going to book a private scan so my husband can come. Hope the next set of scans all go well for you x

@Tink2019 right!? It'll be worth it all in the end though! I'm so glad the temperatures dropped 😂 I was going for walks at 10pm and it was still to warm! Only off work for a couple more weeks then starting back when I'm exactly 20 weeks.. I'm going to be exhausted! Counting down the days for my next scan (it's on Saturday) and then nhs scan on the 8th.. Can't wait to see the baby again, definitely makes all the temping, opks and supplements seem worth it!

@Pol96 The things we have to go through! I will definitely update you all. Hope you're feeling good, you must be pleased it's not still 1million degrees x

@Tink2019 pregnancy is honestly one worry after another.. Ttc is awful and then you're so happy you're pregnant and then spend the whole time worrying! Definitely keep us updated x

Thank you @Pol96, I'm so praying it's not molar too (we keep calling it moley because the picture on femometer app genuinely looks like a mole...doesn't seem quite as endearing now though). Will let you all know how we get on in 3 weeks. Who knew that high levels of HSG could be just as bad as low levels x

Oh @Tink2019 that's so good to hear its not ectopic! I have my fingers crossed that it's not a molar pregnancy for you. And it's definitely too early for a heart beat to be detected so please don't worry about that! The early pregnancy bloat is unreal! I looked more pregnant at 6 weeks than I do now at 17 weeks! Wishing you a happy healthy pregnancy 🤞 xx

Hi everyone, thank you so much for your kind words. The EPU called me first thing and asked me to go in ASAP because my HCG was very high...have now been scanned and the sac and yolk are in the right place (so thankfully not ectopic), but we're not quite out of the woods yet - have to go back in 3 weeks to see if they can detect a heartbeat, they couldn't today but apparently that's normal at 5+5, and because high HCG can indicate other things (molar pregnancy for instance). Feeling better, but still a little anxious. The next 3 weeks are going to be very long. My progesterone is very strong they said which is a good sign and could explain the pain I've been getting as high progesterone can cause bloating and constipation - I have both (the bloating is so bad my husband said I need to wear baggy clothes or people will guess...I'm not even 6 weeks 🙈). Just have to keep everything crossed now. Thanks again ladies - hoping you all get BFPs soon and they're a bit smoother than mine! X

@Tink2019 think of you today, really hope its good news x

@Tink2019 keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hope everything goes well tomorrow. Please do keep us posted.

@Tink2019 hope you are ok, keeping everything crossed that all is ok for you xx

Oh no @Tink2019 I really hope it's not and that you're ok. Fainting is so horrible especially if you're on your own xx

@duckii this will be our 7th month of trying, how about you? @Tink2019 really sorry to hear this, thinking of you x

Thinking of you @Tink2019 i really hope everything is okay xxx

Thank you ladies, knowing there were women I could message was a big help (guess it's because in these situs you just want a woman, mum or best friend etc, to talk to, but when no one knows you're pregnant that's tricky). I'm now home - have to call the EPU at 9am tomorrow once my bloods are back re. a scan. Such a horrible feeling not knowing and having to wait...TTC and pregnancy just seems to be one endless waiting game x

Oh @Tink2019 I really hope everything is okay x

@Tink2019 I hope everything turns out ok for you, never apologise for off loading or having a rant! I have my fingers crossed that it all works out for you
