@PeanuttyButter oh I am but because I've had no signs I'm pregnant I dont want to see anagative :( I want to be preganat so bad, with my 3 previous pregamacies I just knew I was pregnant then got sore and bigger swollen boobs before I missed my period so it was obvious. Nothing this time so I'm a bit worried it's just a very late period due to stress worrying about getting pregnant. I gave my self until Sunday so will test first thing tomorrow. Last pregamcy I tested twice and early and that ended up in a cp so just don't want more disappointment.

@Spotsmama I don't know how you're not tempted to test. I'd have peed on half a dozen by now.
@babyghirl I keep flipping between being fine and a rational ''what will be, will be' attitude to absolute stress. It's so hard. Last time I was in complete blissful ignorance that nothing would happen.

Babyghirl · 11/09/2021 15:57

@spotsmama
Get testing girl I have my fingers crossed for you 💚
@PeanuttyButter
Hoping it was just baby getting comfy in there. 💚

Spotsmama · 11/09/2021 15:16

@PeanuttyButter I don't know about you but for me it's the feeling of having no control, you can't stop it, change it or do anything different. I hope tjats the end of it and your nevers calm a little and its nothing to worry about. Xox

PeanuttyButter · 11/09/2021 14:56

@spotsmama good luck with the testing tomorrow. Will have my fingers crossed for you.

I'm very crampy today, was crampy yesterday and had a bit of pink when I wiped but that seems to have stopped for now. Worried doesn't even cover it. Nothing I can do but wait and hope, I'm 6+3 today.

Spotsmama · 11/09/2021 12:53

Hi @H0peing, thank you. I guess it's all just a waiting game and see what the results say when I get to that point.
I'm really hoping the Asprin and progesterone are the key for you and you have a wonderful full pregnancy. Why do they prescribe Asprin, I've seen this alot on posts? Can't anyone buy it from the supermarket and use it if they've had mc's?

I'm currently 18dpo and will test tomorrow.

H0peing · 11/09/2021 12:33

@Spotsmama I was referred to a gynaecologist for rmc after 3 miscarriages (all around 8 weeks and under). I had to wait a few months for my appointment, which was only a telephone appointment initially, but I found it helpful. She was able to offer additional tests, which could help to explain why I miscarried before (I don't know yet as I'm still waiting on some results but the rest were fine). She also gave me a repeat prescription for two 75mg low dose aspirin tablets once per day throughout my cycle and 400mg progesterone pessaries twice per day from after ovulation and this prescription has recently helped a friend of mine to get through the first 13 weeks of her pregnancy after a previous miscarriage. It's what they prescribe for ivf patients so she got her prescription because she was an ivf patient. I'm not sure if it is exactly what I need as I'm only just over 5 weeks pregnant at the moment but I feel better to be doing something differently for this pregnancy than before and am hoping it helps me to go the whole way. I think gynaecologists usually offer scans to check the uterus, ovaries etc but my GP was able to arrange for that before I saw a gynaecologist and that's when they found out that I had a small uterine fibroid. Thankfully, they've said that due to it's size and location, it shouldn't prevent me from having a successful pregnancy. I hope your meeting with your gynaecologist is really helpful for you. Xxxx

Spotsmama · 11/09/2021 08:41

Thank you. Xox

Babyghirl · 10/09/2021 21:25

@spotsmama
A gynecologist works in the field of rmc that who I'm under now they do the more indeapt bloods for clotting and everything else so that's who you want to be under. 💚

Spotsmama · 10/09/2021 19:05

Hello, sorry I just feel like 8 am on here every other day with another question.
Here goes, after my chemical pregnancy last month (I've lost two other babies at 8 weeks and 12 weeks) my gp said she would refer me. From what I've seen on here some of you have been referred to recurrent mc clinics. I just assumed this would be what I was being refers to. It was a referral to a gynaecologist, is this normal? The only reason I'm hesitant is the only reason I've ever been there before is when I've had my mc. Scans, test all the horrible intrusive stuff. Really don't fancy walking back into that place. I had a very unkind nurse when last there.
Thank you ladies. Xox

Babyghirl · 10/09/2021 17:49

Well hospital phoned today my gynecologist wants another scan done so going in on Tuesday for it before my app on Wed with him fingers crossed its nothing to bad gs they did see a cyst on last scan so that's prop wanting to c if it's gone but I had ovulated when I had last scan so think it was my progesterone cyst lol

Babyghirl · 10/09/2021 17:45

@sunnysideup2020
I don't test unless I'm late lol would rather c my period than a nagitive test lol,
@PeanuttyButter
Thank you but won't be this time lol
@Emigoiko
Was sore hopefully get it sorted nxt time it comes out lol.

EmiGoiko · 10/09/2021 00:15

Fingers crossed for you @Spotsmama, @SunnySideUp2020 and @Babyghirl

@spotsmama - my last miscarriage in April started at 5 weeks so I guess you could call it a chemical. My period came back exactly a month later, so pretty on time.

EmiGoiko · 10/09/2021 00:11

Thanks for the new thread. Sorry I've been awol, been so busy with holidays - just spent ages trying to catch up!

@ELM7 just wanted to say I'm truly sorry for what you are going through. Sending so much love. 💓

@H0peing that's great news on your scan, best it can be at this stage.

@Babyghirl you poor thing, that sounds so nasty. I hope you're getting closer to getting some help with it. Lovely news on the puppies.

@PeanuttyButter feeling you with the worrying and feeling emotional. I think it's totally understandable to feel that way. Im also going to try and take some of the advice on this thread to heart and try and be positive. 7 weeks today, have decided to wait till next week when am closer to 8 weeks to get a scan. 🤞

SunnySideUp2020 · 10/09/2021 00:09

Good luck @Spotsmama and @Babyghirl
You guys are very near testing time 💕
For me testing time started at 1dpo. But am being ridiculous... 😂😂😂

I have this massive stash of cheapies 😶

PeanuttyButter · 09/09/2021 21:22

Got my fingers crossed for you both @babyghirl and @spotsmama

@H0peing my best friend has just told me that she's pregnant this evening too. Baby fever everywhere!

H0peing · 09/09/2021 20:54

@Spotsmama I really hope you get a bfp soon xxxxx

Babyghirl · 09/09/2021 20:10

@PeanuttyButter
I'm cd18 today I ovulated on CD8 in to cd9 had the pain overnight lol but don't think it's happening this time around maybe nxt time lol

Spotsmama · 09/09/2021 19:28

@H0peingtjat sounds like the news I want. I continued with my ovulation stripes and had a positive and continued trying. I'm now 16dpo. I'm going to give myself until Sunday and test then if I still have no period. Every trip to the bathroom I expect to see a sign of period. Had few cramps and hungry days which I usually get few day before my period starts so keep thinking it must be on its way.
With my 2nd pregnancy I never believed I was pregnant as I had bad period pains. I sadly then mc at 12 weeks.

H0peing · 09/09/2021 19:11

I had some really good news today! A good friend of mine who has suffered with severe endometriosis for years and has been TTC for years with one miscarriage. She has just sent me a photo today from her scan as she is 13 weeks tomorrow! Xx

H0peing · 09/09/2021 19:08

@Spotsmama My sister in law had a chemical pregnancy and then fell pregnant the cycle straight after without a period so her body must have recovered very quickly from it. She now has a healthy 3yoDD. X

SunnySideUp2020 · 09/09/2021 18:49

@H0peing

That's a wise decision. The wait is killing you but it would be better as you say to really see if it is progressing or not!

Spotsmama · 09/09/2021 18:48

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone who's experienced a chemical pregnancy had a normal period the month after? Early, late or just normal cycle? I know we are all different but after some reassurance xox

H0peing · 09/09/2021 18:40

@SunnySideUp2020 All the best for your tww! Hope you get a bfp soon xxxx

H0peing · 09/09/2021 18:38

@PeanuttyButter what day is your scan? X
