@JuniperAndTonic I’ll be 4 weeks on Wednesday so if they do scan there won’t be anything to see. Just feel like screaming… test my progesterone and give me pessaries arghhhh!!!! Thanks for reassurance. My friend reminded me that women have their cervix’s prodded all the time during pregnancy so that put it into perspective xx

@bunnykins123 I know right it’s super unusual?! Thank you for all the good vibes ✨ xx

bunnykins123 · 14/02/2022 18:17

@aesgriff it's a positive you know your cervix is high even it's unusual for them to internally examine you like that. Hopefully you'll get a call from the EPU tomorrow and you can get some specialist reassurance tomorrow 🤞 (all sounds positive so far though!!)

@MO22 I'm really hoping the symptoms amount to a bfp - it's still early doors. Will you POAS again today or tomorrow?

@calimc83 that's good to know - I'll defo let you know. Does it hurt?! I absolutely hate needles so the idea of little needles poked into my ovaries doesn't fill me with joy 🥴

JuniperAndTonic · 14/02/2022 18:02

@aesgriff not sure if that’s reassuring or not but glad you’ve been referred to EPU I’m sure they’ll be helpful! How many days are you now - is it too early for them to scan you? You may get a little bit of bleeding after the exam but it will just be from irritation - the embryo is much further away from where they would have been prodding so I’m sure it won’t have been harmful!

JuniperAndTonic · 14/02/2022 18:00

@MO22 I felt gutted when I didn’t conceive my first cycle after the miscarriage too. I just so desperately wanted to be pregnant again and I was beating myself up and took it really hard when my period came. I was then convinced the next cycle I wouldn’t get pregnant again, but it turned out I did! It will happen, it just takes time 💕

aesgriff · 14/02/2022 17:49

Ok all, I’ve had a ‘physical examination’ at the doctors. Basically a speculum and a finger (🤪) who said my cervix is high and away which is hopefully a good sign and will make a referral to EPU tomorrow morning as they’re closed now.
Someone help tho as now they’ve had a prod I feel paranoid the bleedings going to get worse 😩 xx

PamelaDoov · 14/02/2022 17:44

@MO22 haha same here 😂 ah thank you!

aesgriff · 14/02/2022 17:25

@MO22 I didn’t catch my first cycle after my MC .. I really felt ovulation though and had ALL of the symptoms and nothing. I was convinced!! I really think our bodies just still aren’t ready and almost need to have a ‘practice round’ with that first cycle. Doesn’t make it any easier to swallow though ☹️ Xx

MO22 · 14/02/2022 17:21

@PamelaDoov I feel you, I have the Fitbit app where you can put in symptoms each day etc of your cycle and I was so blasé last time, barely filled anything out and now I'm totally manic about it - "must save details for my future neurotic self!" Grin

I've got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

PamelaDoov · 14/02/2022 17:17

@MO22 I hope so! I had it last time but i can’t remember at all how much I bled. I wasn’t bothered enough to even make a note of it at the time as we weren’t particularly desperate to conceive, so our first month tying was very relaxed 😂

MO22 · 14/02/2022 17:11

@PamelaDoov 🤞🤞🤞 that sounds implantation-y to me 👀

MO22 · 14/02/2022 17:11

@bunnykins123 @calimc83 thanks guys - it's frustrating as I'be still got symptoms, but I suppose they could just be AF - although this bloody dizziness I've never had before. I wonder if you're right and it's just my hormones are still all over the place since the MMC, it's two months today since I had the surgery so I guess still not that long ago

@aesgriff I could feel you rooting, thank you! It's only been one cycle so probably should have managed my expectations. Ill prob still POAS tomorrow mind Confused

The thing that puts me off accupuncture is the needles! Shock

calimc83 · 14/02/2022 16:54

@Skl2021 thanks! Send me your positive prego vibes! 😆 x

Skl2021 · 14/02/2022 16:45

@calimc83 there's no right or wrong go with what u feel 🙌 good luck 😁🙊👀 xx

@Skl2021 😆😆 allegedly laid back....
@aesgriff I need to go cold turkey! Have successfully conceived without them so no reason why I can't....😬🙈 x

Skl2021 · 14/02/2022 16:22

@aesgriff that's a bit weird isn't it never seen a gp ask for a physical examination for that before? Always sent straight to epu. Is that today then? Hope u get some answers either way xx

aesgriff · 14/02/2022 16:19

@calimc83 thank you! Oooh I am feeling your OPK turmoil 😰 sweating thinking about it. You can do it, you can go cold turkey 💪🏻 Xx

@Skl2021 yeh to be fair mine has really eased off now compared to this morning. Rather than calling me I had a text from the doctor asking for me to come in for a physical examination. But nervous tbh before it was just a straight away referral to EPU so we’ll see what happens. Will deffo update xx

PamelaDoov · 14/02/2022 16:17

@aesgriff it’s pretty light and mixed with cm so it doesn’t feel like AF to me

Skl2021 · 14/02/2022 16:14

@calimc83 so your showing signs of ovulation then that's good! Depends on how u feel will you be disappointed if you test? If not then go for it don't want u to ruin you laid back month that's all 🤞 xx

calimc83 · 14/02/2022 16:13

@aesgriff Hope your appointment goes well!! X

Skl2021 · 14/02/2022 16:13

@aesgriff yes it was mainly morning and like a congested feeling it always went in a few hours! Have u had your call yet? X

calimc83 · 14/02/2022 16:12

@Skl2021 well my ovulation spot has made an appearance....and they're just kind of addictive aren't they?! 😆😆 x

aesgriff · 14/02/2022 16:07

@PamelaDoov my spotting started 8dpo so there’s hope. Is it heavy?

@MO22 I so wish I could say I see a line but I don’t ☹️ God this is so hard I’m so sorry I was really routing for you I can totally feel all your feels right now. How many cycles is this post MC? ♥️♥️

@Bridgey8 ooh interesting they gave you progesterone straight away! I’ve got an examination at my GP later on this afternoon now which I didn’t have last time but hey we’ll see. Wishing you strength for tomorrows scan.

@Skl2021 I’m having cold type symptoms that you had. Stuffy nose and itchy throat? Did you have this too?? 😩

@bunnykins123 how are you doing today??

@calimc83 oooh I looked into acupuncture. You’ll have to give us a no holds barred review 🤩🤩

Xxxxx

Skl2021 · 14/02/2022 16:05

@calimc83 ahhh that's all on you 🙈 I'm not saying use them or don't 🙊 what's making you want to use one?! Xx

aesgriff · 14/02/2022 16:02
