@MgW1 I'm trying aspirin and an anti-inflammatory diet this next month 🤞🤞🤞 I have such sensitive 'allergic' skin, gotta be worth a try in my mind. Supposed to be good for recurrent mc too xx

Awwww @MgW1 that's frigging rubbish. I'm so sorry. Well done for getting the right referral though (unlike me! 🤦🏼‍♀️), I'd be really intrigued to hear what they say. Look after yourself. This shittiness WILL end. Sending strength and hugs 💪 💜

Trying natural ways to increase progesterone because i think it will help, sticking with the vit c and going to start on b6 xx how are you doing?

@MgW1 sorry to hear, hope you at least get some answers xx

TolkiensFallow · 22/02/2021 21:41

@MgW1 I’m so sorry it’s all so shitty for you, it seemed so promising. I hope the gp can help though. I think you’re around my age (I’m 37) and it’s all just more stressful isn’t it?!

dunkedbiscuit · 22/02/2021 20:24

@MgW1 I’m so sorry you’re going through all this, sending you love and gentle hugs

@organised5 that sounds frightening, how are you feeling now? Keeping everything crossed for you for the scan

@PeanuttyButter I’m also 33 and we are TTC #2 , my son has just turned 2

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 20:18

@TolkiensFallow
Good plan ... my head is pretty fucked up so sensible idea 🤣 xx

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 20:17

@organised5
Good luck with your scan on Thursday , have you had any pain today? X

TolkiensFallow · 22/02/2021 20:12

I’m still holding out on a FRER, decided it’ll be a head fuck for me...soo holding out until AF on Friday.

I’m no longer convinced I’m pregs though. Boobs still feel funny but getting other vibes that AF is getting ready to visit...

organised5 · 22/02/2021 20:11

@MgW1 yes I actually did a test yesterday morning and it was the strongest line yet. Then I had my bloods taken in A&E and waited two hours for the results which said I was pregnant. I mean I could have told them that much 😂 I've still got pregnancy symptoms (sore boobs, vivid dreams, metallic taste in mouth) but I'd still have them even if it was ectopic which I'm worried could be the one-sided pain. I'll just have to wait as patiently as I can until Thursday.

@PeanuttyButter I'm 33 too and never a whiff of a pregnancy (despite some rather wild times in my 20s) before I had my first when I was 31. With my first I was incredibly fortunate and it was literally a case of having unprotected sex once and a baby arrived 9 months later.

PeanuttyButter · 22/02/2021 20:01

Well I've been on hormonal contraception from 15-32years so I only have what I know now.
My cycle has been 23/24 days since Sept 19.

This is the strange part!
This is my third cycle since TTC and strangely they have all been 27 days. I'm CD26 at the moment, bit of pink when I wipe so I think AF will come tomorrow. I don't use FRERS as I don't want the disappointment but never had a squinter either

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 19:54

@organised5
Hi hun , im ok thanks for your message , lovely to hear from you although sounds like you have had a worrying time too 😔 fingers crossed all will be ok. Have you done a test? Xx

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 19:53

@PeanuttyButter
37. 1 mc 8 years ago followed by 2 children 6&4 and then 1 mc , 1 chemical and highly probable 2nd chemical. What length cycle do you have ? X

PeanuttyButter · 22/02/2021 19:41

How old are you guys if you don't mind me asking and do you already have children? I'm 33 and this will be my first. Never been pregnant before ever. Not even a whiff of a scare in my younger years.

organised5 · 22/02/2021 19:35

@MgW1 I am so sorry to read this. Sending you lots of love.

I spent 4 hours in A&E last night because I've had some pain low down on one side and then started bleeding a bit as well. Called 111 and spoke to a clinician then got sent in. Not conclusive so I now have to wait for an appointment at the EPU on Thursday when I'll be 5+6. Really hope a scan will be able to tell by then.

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 19:19

P.s goid about your friend , just goes to show ..... never stop trying!! Xx

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 19:18
