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 😘😘😘

@mummatara it's the private clinic that Dr Shehata runs (the same Dr @bunnykins123 is seeing via the NHS) it's the Centre for Reproductive Immunology and Pregnancy. Yeah I've ordered a load of supplements to improve it hopefully! I think he's a little in denial. He said last night 'but you're still getting pregnant', but doesn't realise it all has an impact on the quality of the pairing as such. Men and their egos 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

@FfayeN sorry if this is a dumb question what is CRP? Im glad they will let you keep results though that's good news. Oh wow poor spermies is there anything he can do for motility? amazing on the fertilily it really must just get so much more in the right spot wonder if they have a Black Friday deal 🤔🙊

@bunnykins123 yes the bottom one is todays. Does make you wonder they are all from the same box so no crossover at least. I can't decide whether to waste a frer tomorrow. I probably shouldn't but I probably will 😆

FfayeN · 23/11/2022 12:06

@bunnykins123 they have appts from the beginning of Dec but I think we'll have to wait as I haven't even had the procedure yet so jumping ahead of myself a little! I also am just going to check with the Coventry hospital as they do NK Cell testing too, it's the balance of time over money somewhat! I think there may be a balance but got to hash it out with DH. It's just so hard what to do next xx

bunnykins123 · 23/11/2022 11:44

@mummatara I assume that's the one at the bottom? As I agree it does look lighter but like you say, these tests have a mind of their own and get darker over several hours!

@FfayeN that's good that you spoke with them. When's your next appointment? Oh wow that's interesting. Maybe the fertilily really is the magic behind having a baby?! Must be more proactive with mine next month!

FfayeN · 23/11/2022 10:16

@mummatara I totally get that, we all have to guard our own emotions.
Yeah I'm doing ok. Just hard to know what the next step is. I spoke to CRP and they were helpful, said we can have the tests there and if we decide not to proceed then the results are ours, which would help financially for sure. Found out yesterday that DH has borderline low motility so it's amazing we've fallen so quick each time...Lord bless the fertilily! Xx

@FfayeN thank you lovely 🤞🏼 the collage really does look like something but I am trying not to get too hopeful I'm sure the chances are slim. Now to slog out the next 2 days 🙄 how you feeling today? Xxx

mummatara · 23/11/2022 09:47

@Indianna2006 @bunnykins123 I did retest this morning I can't decide if it's the same or lighter than yesterday my first look makes me think lighter 🤔 might be a bit clearer when I go home and it's fully dry.

@bunnykins123 haha I still think I'm leaning more towards residual I think im about 70/30 in favour of residual but could be that I just don't want to get excited about it possibly being new incase it isn't 🙊

@Indianna2006 well I'm happy your so invested because you help a lot ❤️ I would never have thought to put them together in a collage for starters 🤣

@MrsCristianoX oh so so sorry lovely I was really rooting for you ☹️ big hugs and love ❤️

@mummatara after @Indianna2006 has worked her wizardry on the collage app I am praying this is a new one for you xx

OP posts:
FfayeN · 23/11/2022 09:39

@MrsCristianoX oh lovely I am so sorry. It seems to be an implantation issue then possibly? Are you under a recurrent miscarriage unit? There must be something that can support that stage?
Really thinking of you...how shit is this journey! Unbelievable highs and lows and it all takes its toll, sending big hugs your way 😘 xxx

@MrsCristianoX I'm so sorry 😢 AF got me yesterday too. I n ow you feel like throwing in the towel it don't give up. My friend announced last night on FB - she's 41 and is going through a surprise pregnancy after 2 kids who are teenagers. This gave me the hope I needed!

TheBirdintheCave · 23/11/2022 08:34

@MrsCristianoX I'm really sorry :( Look after yourself today.

MrsCristianoX · 23/11/2022 08:32

Another chemical for me. Woke up to a bloodbath this morning. Pure fed up now, am going for bloods tomorrow 😕I want to say December is my last month trying.

bunnykins123 · 23/11/2022 08:13

@mummatara you can totally ovulate with HCG in your system so I wouldn't discount it for that reason. The lack of temp rise - I mean, that could be for so many reasons. I'm convinced temping isn't very accurate anyway! I'm about 55% residual (on the basis that mine jumped about in the same way) but 45% new pregnancy. Why can't our bodies just be normal?! Did you retest today?

Indianna2006 · 22/11/2022 23:01

@mummatara if you ovulated around 13th. Your test was beginning to look quite faint by that point. I deff ovulated with a test about that faintness too. Mine showed a temp shift obv. But can be possible. Your hcg wasn’t 114 on 13th cos it was coming down. Think the tests do clearly show that.

hmm more waiting for Thursday to compare. Another IC in morning perhaps? Or Thursday morning? See if it’s darker still.

WHY are bodies so weird. Also love how invested I am 🤣🤣 me with my photo apps hahah

mummatara · 22/11/2022 22:51

I do have a few things floating round my brain. The negative IC could have been a dodgy test they are cheap after all 😂 but as we can clearly see they were lighter then darker again so I think it's ok to discount that one and still see a picture.
I still haven't had a temp rise at all
Would I really ovulate with that much hcg I had o pains on 13th but they can come after so it would have happened 11/12/13 I'm guessing

mummatara · 22/11/2022 22:48

@FfayeN I knew it would be 🙄 no they want me to go roughly the same time so it will be another late one unfortunately. Oh you know it won't 😂 but I do have lots of work to do so suppose that will keep me busy xxx

@Indianna2006 no I stupidly threw away all the previous tests when I got that negative so can't compare 🤦🏼‍♀️ why didn't I think to
do that I have that app 😂 much clearer to see that they do look darker. @bunnykins123 they were all FMU I purposely did it that way so it would be a good comparison 😂

bunnykins123 · 22/11/2022 22:41

@mummatara I do agree with @Indianna2006 in that they look darker. Did you take them all at the same time of the day and with fmu? Honestly I haven't a clue what's going on!

Indianna2006 · 22/11/2022 22:34

To me… your test today on 22nd is bolder than test on 10th which was 12 days ago. But not bolder than 9th. Which would correlate as your hcg is 90 not 114…

I think it’s perhaps new pregnancy?!! Cos why would it go back up when it was clearly going down for 10 days…

Indianna2006 · 22/11/2022 22:31

Okay…so I’ve added 9th, 10th, 14th and then perhaps one from 19th. As 18th most faintest one looked a bit blurry to compare well. And then 22nd. Your most recent test today.

It was deff going down. And now appears between the top and second one again in terms of colour and boldness of line..

Indianna2006 · 22/11/2022 22:29

Right when I was going through my mmc I put my tests close up pics on a collage thing close together so it was easier to compare and see the difference. An I found it WAY easier.

let me take pics of your tests and add the dates of yours so it’s easier to compare..

I’ll do the 3 you’ve added above with the dates. Your faintest one. And then the one from today.

Indianna2006 · 22/11/2022 22:16

@mummatara ugh typical. Your test on the 14th is quite clearly fainter than the one on 9th when your hcg was 114. But obv no idea what hcg could have been on 14th. But it was going down. Cos the tests were fading.

is your tests now darker than 14th if you compare. Or the same?

FfayeN · 22/11/2022 22:12

@mummatara oh you knew it would be a number to still leave you in limbo! Looking at the tests it would be very odd if this was a new pregnancy. Are you able to go early on Thursday? I hope tomorrow goes quick for you xxx

OP posts:
mummatara · 22/11/2022 21:31

@bunnykins123 all I can find pictures of is 9th when I tested the hcg at 114, 10th and 14th. The negative was on 18th

@mummatara sooo random! Oh what...that result hasn't told u anything really..how frustrating xx

bunnykins123 · 22/11/2022 21:25

@mummatara mine dropped so slowly. BUT looking at your tests, you have some proper squinters in there. It really does make me wonder if this is a new pregnancy? Do you have pictures of the tests from last week?
