Had my two scans today. My first was ultrasound and they said was all clear they didn't have to do an internal scan but said as I was there they may aswell so my consultant didn't send me at a later date. Again this was all clear. So now just need to hear how my eggs are from the blood test I had last week 🤞🏻

27DONFIN · 01/10/2021 13:13

@ELM7
Maybe it will be my lucky month to lol how r you doing 💚

katewitch · 01/10/2021 10:10

@Equimum I'm 32, but have this limit in my head of not wanting to be pregnant after 37 and we want 2!

More cramping today and I'm so tired, so glad it's the weekend but it will be hard to not waste FRERs when I'll likely get BFNs Sad

ELM7 · 01/10/2021 09:57

@Annny27 glad you’ve got a idea on timescale for surgery. Hope appointments come together to keep you on track for it.

Ahhhh @Babyghirl yay to so many pups! Glad they are all doing ok. xx

Babyghirl · 01/10/2021 09:43

Well girls 11 pups all arrived through out the nite been a long one lol all pups and mother well 💚

apwilso · 01/10/2021 09:41

@Annny27 I'm the same! Had some weird symptoms that I've not had before so hoping for a positive

Annny27 · 01/10/2021 08:30

@apwilso could be something! But could also be nothing haha. I hands down have thought I was pregnant every month for the past 2 years so I am awful for symptom spotting haha

So glad you got good news today Spotsmama, but unfortunately, I think it's inevitable that any of us will relax after what we've all been through. I know it's a cliche, but can you try just taking one day at a time.

Welcome katewitch, although sorry you find yourself here. The anxious balance between time to grieve and trying to make sure you don't run out of time is a really tough balance. Can I ask how old you are?

katewitch · 30/09/2021 12:38

Can I join please?

@Spotsmama that is such positive news but of course you'll still worry, just try to hold onto it with each day that goes by Flowers

I had an early miscarriage at 5 weeks in July which would have been DH & I's first baby. I had to leave work bleeding and the whole thing was just awful. I don't think I ovulated in August (long irregular cycles anyway and it took ages for my hcG to get to zero. I had a positive First Response in August that I mistook for a new pregnancy (the negative I'd had at the EPAU was clearly less sensitive) which was so upsetting.

I'm about 9-10dpo now by my reckoning and having the cramps and light nausea I'd had with the pregnancy in June and it's sending my brain into overdrive... I'm trying so hard not to symptom-spot but they're just there and I know regardless I'll be so disappointed when my period shows up. I'd love to have a break from TTC to grieve properly but we're old enough that that's not a viable option Sad I'm just not sure how to keep my head on straight and I don't want to bore DH with it or get his hopes up!

Spotsmama · 30/09/2021 11:09

Morning, we had a reassurance scan this morning which showed I am 7 weeks and 3 days. Didn't hear the heartbeat but we were shown the flicker it made. I've never had a positive scan before.
I feel a little bit calmer now but also worried as I know I can still mc and previously did so at 8 and 9 weeks. How on earth do you get through the next 5 week wait until the 12 week scan???
One worried, anxious emotional mess over here.

apwilso · 29/09/2021 23:19

@Miscarriage39 thank you

Sorry to hear @PeanuttyButter just reading through post now.

@kiwi17 glad you got through the day. Sending you my love x

Babyghirl · 29/09/2021 21:24

@kiwi17
Big hug from me💚

@miscarriage39
Thank you 💚

Miscarriage39 · 29/09/2021 20:42

Thinking of you this evening kiwi17.

Fingers crossed apwilso.

I hope the relaxation helps Babyghirl

kiwi17 · 29/09/2021 20:10

So due date day is nearly over and I'll be glad to see the back of it. Obv at kicked in fully this morning so it's been a gutting day full of emotional and physical pain so that's great. It's just the worst even though I know how lucky I am to have our little girl and am clinging tight to her today ❤ I hope everyone else is keeping their chins up x

Babyghirl · 29/09/2021 17:41

@PeanuttyButter
So sorry to read this take care of yourself and remember we r all here for you.💚

@Annny27
Well r angels r prop celebrating together.💚

Cd16 for me today and if I relax anymore I will fall over. Nice dinner on pull pork burgers for oh getting home from work.

apwilso · 29/09/2021 15:38

I'm around 7dpo and 4 days away from the dreaded period if she comes! Just sat at work and I've just lightning vag! Really bad. Anyone had this. Googled and said it could be early pregnancy but god knows

27DONFIN · 29/09/2021 13:25

@PeanuttyButter I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Life can be so cruel at times sending you lots of love xxx

Equimum · 28/09/2021 21:08

Oh PeanuttyButter, I am so sorry. I totally get what you mean - not getting pregnant would probably be less painful that being given hope and having it snatched away. Take care of yourself and best wishes for Friday. As everyone else has said, we're here for you.

PeanuttyButter · 28/09/2021 19:46

Thanks guys, i know I'm not alone. I've had a few 'well at least you know you can get pregnant" comments but that's not the point is it. What's the point in getting pregnant if it's not going to result in a baby. Id rather have BFN than have a brief BFP. Probably means I won't be pregnant by my first miscarriage due date too.

kiwi17 · 28/09/2021 18:36

I'm so sorry @PeanuttyButter 😢

Spotsmama · 28/09/2021 18:24

@PeanuttyButter I am so so sorry. Nothing I saw will help but just know you are not alone and we know exactly how you feel and how hard you are finding this. Xox
