@PeanuttyButter I'm really sorry that image came up. I really didn't mean to add it to your message! Xx

@PeanuttyButter it must be incredibly frustrating for you that DH doesn't want to try this month whilst you're away! I really hope that you still manage to enjoy some time away together. I hope that you always feel able to come on here to receive support, even when you don't feel able to help or support anyone else as I think that is part of why this group works so well! It always feels like, out of everyone on here, whilst we have all gone through our good and bad days, at least one other person is able to offer some support / understanding / encouragement. I'm sending loads of love your way and really hope that DH will be open to trying again soon xxxxx

After anyone had their HSG did their period come early? I had my test Monday and I think my period has started tonight which is over a week early. I'm never early

Oh PeanuttyButter, I can understand that that must be so disappointing! I'm not sure that making suggestions to try and focus of enjoying your holiday are going to help, but Imm sending a big unmumsnetty hug your way.

No kiwi17, the nurse that needs to book them wasn't there, so they've said she'll call me. If I don't hear by the end of next week, I'll chase them.

Sorry I'm not active on here at the moment I'm away.
It's the start of my fertile week and DH has said he doesn't want to try this month as he needs a break, he doesn't want the DTD stress while we are away. I'm devastated and I know I shouldn't be as my body probably could do with the break. But I just feel helpless, I don't like the idea of the fertile week just slipping away followed by a tww just for my period with no hope.
I just don't want him to say next month that he wants another break...
Il probably stay off here until AF comes because although I love the support all you girls give me I don't feel like I can help or support you at the moment. This holiday has been planned for 2 years.. I just keep thinking I would have been 34weeks now...or 13.5 weeks... Or possibly 3 weeks if we were trying again.
Rant over xxx

Oh that's frustrating @Equimum but hopefully reassuring I guess that they weren't worries about the cramping? I'm sorry :( did you find out about taking bloods for the rmc team?

Thanks for your advice everyone. I went to the appointment but they wouldn't my scan me as felt it wasn't appropriate. The nurse's feeling was that I will have passed the sac without knowing and that the cramping is just residual. They said to call in a week if it continues. As always, I have really appreciated your advice and support everyone.

@Equimum
Go to your scan tomorrow for peace of mind if nothing else, I stopped cramping after passing the sac just bleed awhile after so don't care what anybody says for going. 💚

@Equimum that all sucks I'm sorry :( I would echo what the others have said and definitely still go as I reckon it'll be easier to get answers from them face to face especially about bloods and if you think there is still stuff left due to cramping. I did expectant management and after I passed the main sac etc I didn't cramp much more so not sure if you should still be cramping lots?

@ElsieG3m I definitely recommend asking about progesterone after ovulation. I had progesterone at bfp with my 3rd miscarriage so that's why I was advised to try it earlier with this pregnancy. I had no medication for my 1st and 2nd miscarriages. I had recurrent miscarriage tests but they all came back fine. The only thing they refused to test was our eggs and sperm, despite me asking several times for those tests, but they tested everything else. Xx

Thank you @H0peing I do wonder about the progesterone. Perhaps that's something I can try from ovulation. Do you mind my asking, did you have recurrent miscarriage testing and did anyone check for nk cells etc? So happy for you that this little one is doing well. I had two before my daughter and then a perfect textbook pregnancy right through. I was on tenterhooks the whole time but all was well. Wishing you the same experience (minus any anxiety!) xx

@ElsieG3m Thanks. I am really sorry for your losses. I have had 4 miscarriages but 400mg progesterone twice per day from after ovulation and two 75mg aspirin tablets daily seem to be working ths time for this pregnancy. It seems like the advice that you get from Lesley Regan and Professor Brosens will be helpful. I am wondering if the same things that worked for your daughter, aspirin and heparin, will help you again in the future. I really hope that you get some encouraging answers soon! Lots of love. Xx

@Equimum I am so sorry that you've been having such an awful time! I would definitely recommend going to your appointment at EPU tomorrow. You can let them know that you're extremely worried that not everything has passed yet, explain about the powerful cramps etc and you can also explain that you are following the recent advice of a Dr at A&E as well as the advice of a Dr at urgent care. You can also ask them about having bloods, as the Dr from the RMC advised you.

You do not sound at all pathetic. You are going through an incredibly difficult time and you deserve to get the best treatment and support possible to help you through this. Sending loads and loads of love your way. Xxx

@Equimum sorry you are going through this.

Personally I would still go to EPU for the scan - I did as just wanted confirmation that everything had passed and not have to wait weeks to then go back if test didn’t become negative. Take care x

Just checking in here to say hi to everyone after a quiet spell. I had a miscarriage end of august/beg of September, then a weird period then found out I was pregnant last Saturday. I had bloods drawn and got the results this morning - only 7 so another miscarriage. We had one healthy daughter conceived naturally and born at term with aspirin and heparin due to a blood clotting issue that I have. For my august miscarriage, I had to stop aspirin and blood thinners for a week due to some bleeding in my eye and then lost the pregnancy shortly afterwards. For this one, I stayed on blood thinners but added in progesterone shortly after positive pregnancy test. I've booked a hysteroscopy with Lesley Regan so suggested after the august one just to keep going...going back to see her next week to see whether she thinks differently now. I've also booked in for a consultation with Prof Brosens in Coventry for nk cell testing. Does anyone have any hopeful stories to share after 4 miscarriages (with one healthy child in the middle?). I'm 37 so feel time is not in my side but seem to be having the same issues now as I did at 33 so surely can't all be that? A fertility doctor (Paul Serhal) recently told me he thinks I just produce bad eggs. I felt like crawling into a ditch...
Thanks in advance and hope everyone is keeping well. Lovely to see some good news stories on here from @H0peing and @Nuggetlover27 xx

Hi Ladies, I know this isn't conception related, but I kind of feel safer asking here than on the general miscarriage boards.

So, following being told there was no heartbeat on Wednesday of last week, I had a really heavy bleed on Monday and got sent to A&E. the flow slowed while I was there, so the tunas said there was no need to see me and that I could come home. Saw urgent care on Tuesday as fainted, had bloods taken and iron prescribed. Now, I have a repeat scan due tomorrow. The EPU nurse said, when I was last there, that I didn't need to go to this scan if I'd had a heavy bleed, and should just do a repeat PT in three weeks. Her advice was that if that was negative, I didn't my need further input. Both the A&E dr and the urgent care dr, however, have said that I should got to the scan. I'm still getting powerful cramps that wake me at night, so I'm not convinced everything has passed, but I am scared that I'm going to piss them off if I turn up tomorrow.

Just to add, I had completely forgotten to cancel my call from the RMC yesterday, so that went ahead. The dr I spoke to said that I should have previously had bloods six weeks after my miscarriage, and that I need to ask the EPU about that.

Baring all this in mind, would you still go?

Sorry, I know I sound pathetic, but I just feel a bit lost at sea, and no idea what I should do!

Congratulations @kiwi17 !!!!!

@Annny27
DH is going to be working there but it was our decision to move. We both chose this country kinda in the middle of each of our countries 😄 and my brother very near too

Been testing daily for 30 + days on opks and hpt and gave up. I have no idea when or if i ovulate but I did have a period start 2 days ago after i posted! And that was a 49 days cycle 😅

I have a colposcopy and biopsy again in 3 weeks so i really need not to be pregnant (not that it will happen anyway 🙄)

@kiwi17 woohoo congratulations I am in the 2WW now I am sure you're fine but I no that ectopic feeling/fear never leaves you xx

@kiwi17 congratulations lovely news

Ahh thanks @Annny27!! I know I'm still no convinced- 5 weeks tomorrow and have had shoulder pain since my bfp which realistically is muscular from a heavy backpack but obviously am convinced is ectopic despite no other symptoms 😑 hopefully isn't a cp now though... will try and upload pic from 12dpo 😀

@Annny27 honestly I didn't even realise the belly button one had come out lol now you feeling in yourself now did they do any biopsies?? Oh I think it might be a hyper sensitive thing I am just so paranoid if it's another one then I am at a loss as the op came back clear xx

@Annny27 best of luck first cycle post op. How you feeling now? Thanks was feeling all sorry for myself last night that 2 years on and we are now having to start IUI. Is it bad that I honestly can't visualise myself pregnant or with a baby at all. In a way I feel my gut is telling me it's not going to happen and I just need to stop fighting it. So difficult

@Annny27 they do take a little while to come out mine did and I was shocked to see half of it in my bed 😂 I am a little worried I am on cd15 now had an positive opk cd12 and haven't stopped cramping but the side I had my other 2 ectopics has been hurting I am not sure if I am over sensitive due to my previous losses so feeling like something isn't there xx
