Hi ladies. I have started to feel a little overwhelmed with our usual thread and we are at different stages of our journeys now. Please feel free to leave this one if you don't feel the same but I feel so invested in your journeys and don't want to miss any news. Hoping this is ok, I don't think you can do DM as a group?
Hope you are all doing well and if there's anyone I've missed from the usual bunch feel free to add 😘😘😘

@MrsCristianoX I'm sorry that's not an option for you, but there must be something the CAN do to help implantation. Did you call the Doctor? Enjoy...he is dreamy!!!

@FfayeN sorry just reread that lovely..I'm so sorry xx

IVF is off the table for me. I had a stroke caused by the pill years ago x

MrsCristianoX · 24/11/2022 16:02

@FfayeN did you hear from hospital yet? I'm more objective when it comes to other people but I was super stressed then and couldn't separate myself. Just really wanted someone to help me but mid covid it wasn't easy.

Anyway ladies Portugal are playing my fav Cristiano ronaldo is on so I'm happy today for now 😍

FfayeN · 24/11/2022 15:56

@MrsCristianoX it's so hard because you're the patient! We rely on GPs to be the holy grail of knowledge and sadly their not. Sometimes I think they just wing it for the best and it has awful awful consequences 😔 xx

@lovenaps yep you're so right there is such conflicting views on the whole thing but I appreciate you sharing what you've heard too. I think we will head down the IVF route now, I don't know if I could take any more without help of some kind and it still not work out.
Procedure is booked for tomorrow so there is progression 😊.

There is nothing wrong with getting scans according to how you're dealing with the anxiety, is your next one about 4 weeks away? I would be tempted to have one in the middle, but only you know what will be best for you. I totally get the ignorance is bliss part but also no one here would judge you for having one every few days even! 😘 xx

OP posts:
MrsCristianoX · 24/11/2022 13:58

@lovenaps my fault too. I know medicine and should have realised but the pregnancy really shocked me. I did ask the gp after a scan at 6 weeks and she said not to change anything until advised by a consultant. It was a tough time ngl but I got through it xx

lovenaps · 24/11/2022 10:52

@FfayeN I am okay, thank you ❤x It's been a few days without symptoms and I freaked out to a point where I thought it would be good to have another scan but then realised I can't have scans constantly, instead I need to find my ways to control anxiety. Will just wait until the 13 week one and hope for the best. How are you lovely? Been thinking about you lots?
@MrsCristianoX Definitely let them update your records + add the chemicals! I am so sorry to hear your first m/c was a result of negligence 😓x
@FfayeN @MrsCristianoX I know you are both speaking about NK cells and I just want to pass something on which was said to me by someone who is an obstetrician + fertility specialist. This person said that they (obs+fert specialists) do not believe in high NK cells as an issue and that there is some evidence popping up now that it can be even beneficial to have increased numbers as NK cells play very important role in pregnancy too.... I am so so so confused. I was reading lots about Dr. S clinic and people are saying that they had so many losses and then conceived successfully after treatment for NK cells. Also, there are some NHS clinics that deal with NK cells (I appreciate most don't). I mean, where is the truth?? It can't be a coincidence that people just have successful pregnancies after having medication for elevated NK cells? It seems that nobody knows the answer... The reason why I am saying this is that if either of you has high NK cells, I just don't want you thinking that your bodies are at fault 💐💐x
Having passed that info on, if I was told I had high NK cells and I could get something for it, I would definitely go for it, just to give it a chance. Where I am there is no testing + treatment for NK and the next place that does it is really far away.

@FfayeN Thankfully he's at his childminders most of the day 😅

FfayeN · 24/11/2022 09:23

@TheBirdintheCave Aaw in a way I am glad you still have all the symptoms though it can't be pleasant. Take it easy and have those rests when you need them! Especially with a little one running around too 😊

OP posts:
FfayeN · 24/11/2022 09:22

@bunnykins123 the clinic have my referral already so hopefully get an idea of wait times soon, thanks for the details ☺️. What's the next steps for you lovely? Will you be on pred when you get a positive? Hope you're doing ok xx

OP posts:
TheBirdintheCave · 24/11/2022 09:22

@FfayeN I'm alright, just more of the same sore boobs and retching in the morning. I'm also finding I get a lot sleepier in the middle of the day and had to take a fifteen minute nap on the sofa after lunch on Tuesday 😂 Lines are looking good still so I might feel confident enough to actually register the pregnancy on Monday at five weeks. We shall see.

It's my little boy's second birthday today so we're off for pizza tonight 😬

FfayeN · 24/11/2022 09:13

@TheBirdintheCave how are you doing? ☺️ xx

OP posts:
TheBirdintheCave · 24/11/2022 09:08

@FfayeN I hope they call you today <3

@bunnykins123 Sorry AF came for you, I missed that update :(

@MrsCristianoX Definitely include the chemicals as they were still miscarriages even if they were really early on.

FfayeN · 24/11/2022 08:57

@Indianna2006 No it's actually quite frustrating being in limbo waiting for the call. They did say hopefully this week but I imagine it'll be next week now 😔.
How are you doing?

@lovenaps @theblueflowers how are you ladies doing? Xxx

OP posts:
Indianna2006 · 24/11/2022 08:51

@MrsCristianoX deffo agree. No harm in Docters doing some basics tests to run and see where they sit 💕

@FfayeN hope you’re doing okay lovely. Any idea yet from hospital when they can fit you in?

@mummatara fingers crossed today you get an answer. And if it’s residual. That it fucks off soon

FfayeN · 23/11/2022 22:36

@MrsCristianoX I really recommend updating your doctor about the chemicals too. In my trust it says 3 miscarriages, so when I had my 2nd 'proper one' I told them it was the 3rd and included my chemical. They never asked for dates, only on the midwife referral form later on which the recurrent unit don't see.
You definitely have reason to request some further testing if only by your GP in the first instance, possibly even progesterone testing within your cycle to check it's rising to support early pregnancy. Give them a call and see what they say, just remember to fight for yourself to get what you want (this includes any little white lies 🤣) 😘 xxx

OP posts:
MrsCristianoX · 23/11/2022 21:23

@mummatara yea I'm there tomorrow so I will do. They were very vague at the time of the 8 week miscarriage like 'this might have happened anyway' so I suppose it's still noted as no reason. Ugh. The consultant rang me when I should have been 10 weeks to recommend switching due to 'risk of prepartum haemorrhage' I was actually speechless. Took me 10 months to talk DH into trying again.

Hope you ladies are doing ok xx

mummatara · 23/11/2022 20:59

@MrsCristianoX can you ring the doctors and tell them about the latest chemical so it's on your notes since it's just happened then there is a record of at least 3 whether 1 was medical negligence or not it's still a MC and they might not look too hard into the reason you had that one see you've had 3 and sign you up for tests 🤞🏼

MrsCristianoX · 23/11/2022 19:36

Just had a look at the clinic in Belfast I was mentioning a few days ago. They test for Nk cells. Though my 8 week miscarriage was more medical negligence. It was an unplanned pregnancy and I was on stronger blood thinners but by the time the consultant got back to me I had already haemorrhaged 😢 so does that count as recurrent? So 8 weeks, 6 weeks and possibly 3 chemicals but the chemicals aren't on my notes. Ignore me I'm thinking out loud.

mummatara · 23/11/2022 19:31

@FfayeN we do indeed we just carry on ❤️ as hard as each one is I'm not giving in we'll get there eventually xxx

FfayeN · 23/11/2022 19:06

@mummatara tomorrow you will have answers either way as you say. Then mentally you can process the next steps! We get back on that horse and go again...and again...and again xx

mummatara · 23/11/2022 18:01

@FfayeN 😂😂 they weren't paying attention to that part of class 🙊

Got home and todays line has dried and is barely there looks very similar to Saturdays line the one after the negative 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don't think I'm going to waste a frer tomorrow unless the IC line looks considerably darker. I'll get my answer in the evening but honestly after seeing that I really do think it's just residual. Guess in theory I won't have long to wait for my period about 7-10 days if it's going to be a 30 ish day cycle then can crack on again

FfayeN · 23/11/2022 17:27

@mummatara 🤣🤣🤣 it's like they don't even know the basics of the birds and bees 😂. Xx

@MrsCristianoX @bunnykins123 ahh so sorry girls ☹️. I hope u are both ok. Wine and chocolate required xx

mummatara · 23/11/2022 12:36

@FfayeN ahhh makes sense now I know 💕 lol yes they don't like to think there's anything wrong with the junk male ego indeed. I don't think DH knows what any supplements I've bought him do he just takes them and doesn't question my insanity in making him take a million pills. When I told him yesterday the result and said there's a possibility it could be a new one he said do you think that's possible I was like well we danced the dance so yes 🤦🏼‍♀️😂
