No worries I found it 😂

mummatara · 16/10/2022 21:01

Does anyone know what the company that does the blood test is that can tell you gender early at about 8 weeks I think it is? I'm sure I haven't made this up in my head

ChloeN · 16/10/2022 20:36

@HalWin2221 3dpo😭😂 honestly if I was anything further than 10dpo I’d 100% it was pregnancy, it’s creamy. I’m just hoping I’ve not give myself an infection by going in the pool 🤣

MrsCristianoX · 16/10/2022 20:24

My lil girl is looking at me and she knows I'm not ok. Must pull myself together for her sake at least. And on we plod..

HalWin2221 · 16/10/2022 20:24

@ChloeN where abouts are you in your cycle & what type is it? I always find before I test positive I get a lot of creamy CM

MrsCristianoX · 16/10/2022 20:05

@mummatara so insensitive. I told him on the journey back it was baby loss awareness week and I found it difficult lighting a candle last night . His response was 'is that not a catholic thing anyway' not a bloody clue and he has really upset me this time 😭 jaysus I need to stop crying and act normal for my other kids. It's f**king hard this miscarriage thing

ChloeN · 16/10/2022 19:52

Not really ttc as such but anyone that goes swimming/been on holiday lately does it give you more CM?? I’ve had bloody loads, like as much as I had during pregnancy last time! I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence and my hormones are all over post mmc and chemical!

FfayeN · 16/10/2022 19:28

@Indianna2006 I will definitely look at those thank you 🙏🏼 xx

@FfayeN maybe try the fybogel drinking sachets. They tended to help me last time to keep things moving. Oh the things we talk about.😂🙈 as it tends to only get worse as the pregnancy continues and your bowels get squashed even more and slows digestion right down! Even harder poo 😂😂😂
I took fybogel sachets maybe all of my 3rd trimester as needed them to keep regular an they deffo helped.

FfayeN · 16/10/2022 19:17

@Indianna2006 aw thank you for the tips, I don't take the prenatals as they have vitamin C in and I was told to avoid topping that up as my immune system is already in overdrive!
I take Vit D, folic acid, omegas and selenium. Stopped the Coq10 now. I'm hoping the progesterone doesn't make it worse 😂 I'm not sure it can get any harder!!! x

@theblueflowers no unfortunately the constipation only stopped when I lost all my symptoms, which was the MMC xx

Indianna2006 · 16/10/2022 19:13

@Luna57 deffo lines!

@FfayeN I had that to begin with. Constipation really bad. The increase of progesterone seems to really effect me.
Also realised the pregnancy multi vitamins. Iron etc and whatever else is in them. Always block me up too. It was the same last time.

so I stopped taking the pregnacare and started taking feroglobin from Tesco which has easy on the stomach iron and the folic acid you need innit. And taking vitamin D spray. As that is actually all you need. Rest is really a gimic. And omg. It’s been soooo much better. No more bleeding bum and normal pooping has resumed thanked god 🙈🙈😂

theblueflowers · 16/10/2022 19:05

@HalWin2221 I'm rubbing myself raw 😫

HalWin2221 · 16/10/2022 19:03

@theblueflowers thank you! I’m just going to try and be positive everyday and take it as it comes. I completely get you with the toilet situation though, my last 2 MC I was at the toilet constantly checking!

theblueflowers · 16/10/2022 18:57

@Luna57 never TMI here! That sounds like a nightmare though. Did it ease off for you at a certain point before?

@calimc83 totally forgot to say thank you for checking in! How are you doing?!

FfayeN · 16/10/2022 18:54

@theblueflowers the loo panic. Honestly. I've had the worst constipation (its been the same every pregnancy) to the point I bleed when I go to the toilet, it was awful yesterday and thought it was over already there was so much blood. Thankfully just my bottom...but Christ, it hurts so bad 🫣. Sorry TMI 😬 xx

Oops, sorry @HalWin2221 I tagged you instead of @lovenaps, but perfect timing as those lines are lovely! Congratulations, hope this week flies by for you and AF is nowhere to be seen x

theblueflowers · 16/10/2022 18:44

@HalWin2221 those absolutely look like more than just indent lines! I sometimes think men just don't really understand how the tests work- they are looking for a really dark line.

@Luna57 I'm so sorry you're going through this. Hope you are able to take some time to look after yourself x

@RaliaMusca really encouraging that everything is easing for you! Sharing with supportive friends can be such a relief.

@Indianna2006 we definitely want a picture! I really gives me hope x

@calimc83 honestly the anxiety has already taken hold, and I know that I need to do something about it before it becomes all consuming. I didn't test yesterday as I really want to wean myself off, but then woke today in a panic so obviously had to test. It's darker, but as a pp mentioned earlier, it reassures me for about 5 minutes! The loo fear is also off the scale!
This time I'm offloading everything to DH though, which is helping as he is just so positive about it all, so we sort of balance each other so out.

HalWin2221 · 16/10/2022 18:37

@Luna57 😬 just got to see if AF comes on Friday now.
really sorry you’re going through this again 🙁 glad you’ve got a supportive family around you!

@HalWin2221 have we a definite bfp?!

@RaliaMusca so glad to hear it’s all fizzled out, I’m sure it was scary for you especially not being at home as well. I don’t think they’ll scan me earlier. If i get a negative test and bleeding stops before I’d just cancel it no point using up resources but if not id like to wait it out and make sure nothings been retained. I told my mum and sister tonight. They’re gutted I never told them earlier for support but I’d just really hoped id be telling them of a new addition and not another loss.

HalWin2221 · 16/10/2022 18:01

@ChickenT2b sorry about the BFN 🙁 I still hope that it’s just late implantation for you but if not, I’m sure it’s just waiting for the right egg 🤍 really hope you’re ok lovely x

ChickenT2b · 16/10/2022 17:57

Well 10 dpo BFN for me ☹️ Keep trying to tell myself 6 months post miscarriage and 5 post chemical isn’t THAT long. But when you’ve been trying 1.5 years all in, it feels like it’s never going to happen 😩

@HalWin2221 good luck for tomorrow 🤞🏼

I’m out of tests and not up for wasting another £7 so probably better for my mental health to wait it out now! Xx

HalWin2221 · 16/10/2022 17:31

@RaliaMusca so glad that the bleeding/cramping stopped & that you had a supportive bunch around you! 🥲

RaliaMusca · 16/10/2022 17:28

@Luna57 I'm so sorry you're going through this. We're all here for you. It's just so so unfair. Are you going to wait for your scan in 8 days or will you ask them for an earlier one?

I just got home from a lovely hen weekend. My bleeding and cramps completely fizzled out again last night. I'm a bit worried about my lack of pregnancy symptoms but I also know at 6 weeks it's early days.
It was actually lovely seeing my two pregnant friends, one of whom also had a MMC earlier this year. She's now pregnant with twins! I told everyone about my current situation and they were all so amazing and supportive. Makes me feel very fortunate to have such good pals.

HalWin2221 · 16/10/2022 17:02

@Luna57 sorry that you’re having to go through this 🙁 I wish we could be those people that test and that means we get a baby at the end of it.

@HJA87 I’ve just annoyed myself that much I’ve taken another test 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ve drank about 2L of water today and it’s stronger than yesterday, so it had reassured me for now!!
