@Amy95 it really annoys me how every GP's answer to bleeding issues is go on contraception! The pill made me utterly depressed and when you're TTC contraception just isn't an option.

It was right that you took the clot in, 100%. I always ask people to do that if they can so I can get a better idea of the blood loss, I don't know why that nurse reacted the way she did.

Really hope this all stops and never happens again, you poor thing. I hope you're going to be taking some time off work too to rest and recover xx

Sorry I've been quiet I havnt caught up on everything , yesterday went down hill pretty fast , woke up in a pool of blood and that isn't even being dramatic I was passing clots the size of my palm this happened not to long ago , I've been on a drip for 2 hours and given stuff to stop me from bleeding , I'm pretty dosed up on everything at the moment, hope you've all had a better weekend than me xx

Amy I'm so sorry!!! How are you feeling and how is your blood pressure now?
That's so awful for you I'm really sorry you had to go through it.
It's more concerning it's happened before and they seem non-plused by it. You did the right thing taking it with you - I'd have done the same. That nurse who looked down upon you has clearly never been in a situation where you fear the worst.
Are you on the ward tonight or heading home? I hope you're managing to feel a bit better and always here when you want / need to talk. Sending love. Xxx

Holy shit Amy! You poor thing! How are you feeling now? What do they think the cause of this is? Do they think you may be having a miscarriage? (I hope you don't mind me asking this).
I hope you're feeling ok lovely.. that must have been so scary for you and Luke. Sending love xxx

Total fine , I'm ok just a bit tired , they really don't know they tested pregnancy I wasn't pregnant, this happened when COVID was around and they didn't know what caused it and the GP could only offer me to go on contraception or hysterectomy which I don't want any of them , I'm normally a heavy period girl but this is the worst I've ever seen , Luke thought I'd wet the bed he panicked and we phoned out of hours and they said go into a/e where they took my blood pressure and rushed me through because it was so low , Luke was more dramatic than me this time , I took one of the clots with me ( my mam told me to ) so they could see the nurse just threw it in the bin disgusted in me . The bleedings alot more calm now they have given me Tranexamic acid so that's helping alot .I'm going back to my GP tomorrow because this can't happen again it's so scary I want answers xx Thankyou @dabs9 xxx

@dabs9 not dramatic at all, it’s just a really hard and shit thing to go through. I can barely talk to my pregnant friends at the moment, just find it too difficult. Look after yourself x

Ah thank you. It's all just a head fuck isn't it sometimes. I'm desperate for my period to come because that's a full week I don't need to question what's going on inside me xx

@DuchessofSuffolk I think I would've caved if I were you hahha. We need another BFP on here!! 💜

@dabs9 You are not being dramatic. It's completely understandable! I probably would've had a little cry afterwards. This will be you. Your time is coming! Come on AF, let's get this show on the road! X

God, it's just so irrational isn't it!!! Feels quite pathetic. I see bumps all day every day I'm not sure why hers makes me feel any different.

Thanks for being kind. I definitely need to give myself a shake and a talking to.
Need this bloody period to come now. My tats are killing and I've been spotting/bleeding for 16 days of the last 28! (including may AF) 😅 xx

@DuchessofSuffolk Ah I really hope it doesn't arrive and this is it!! 🤞 you have such self control not having a stash of tests at home or running out to get one 😂

Just seen my SIL for the first time since she announced her pregnancy and she has a v definite bump.... Felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack.
Am I ridiculously dramatic?? 😩 I feel so silly. X

DuchessofSuffolk · 04/06/2023 17:17

At this point I have convinced myself I’m not 🤷🏻‍♀️

DuchessofSuffolk · 04/06/2023 17:13

So I wasn’t really tracking ovulation using an OPK as it was only our first cycle I’m trying to be easy breezy about it. According to my Flo app I would have ovulated on 19th - which would have made made Friday DPO 14? My app is still saying I need to wait until 6th although I’m starting to feel twinges so bet it comes tonight. In time for Monday. Glorious. I’m having a glass of wine 😂😂

Annapolis35 · 04/06/2023 16:13

@DuchessofSuffolk also amazing!! So promising and well done for holding out.

Annapolis35 · 04/06/2023 16:12

@GeoSmed Oh god! I hear OHS is horrible and can be really dangerous right?! Makes sense about not risking it with letrozole, at least there is some control with the hormone injections. What a palaver going through that every month though.

Yep it’s absolutely beaut here, there are a lot of very very bright red people and bald men with tops off (Taps off as is said up here) which always amuses me, it’s like a wildlife show to spot the reddest person.

LeopardLover · 04/06/2023 16:10

DuchessofSuffolk · 04/06/2023 15:22

Possibly, but I tested on Friday and it was BFN! Someone (can’t remember who) said it could be because I didn’t implant until
later. I just don’t know 😂😂

How many DPO were you on Friday? It's very true! Someone on another thread had a BFN at 12DPO and then BFP at 13DPO 😊🙏🏻

if it doesn’t happen mind you, it’ll be incredibly disappointing 😂yeah he’s 2 right? My best friend has a 2 year old and she’s started regressing a little but apparently that’s usual and what happens. Who knew! So hopefully he’ll phase out of it as fast as he phased in!

I know right!! Funnily enough on Friday at my scan I said to my husband it’s funny how I’ve become so okay with people shoving a camera dildo up me every 4 days 😂 add to that I had my smear last week - I have lost all dignity!
oh no! Traumatic as in, stuff didn’t go to plan or just not how you envisaged?

I hope so! I never believed in the terrible two's until I found myself in them 🤣

Hahhaha! I remember being anxious about my first transvaginal scan!

I had an A, B, C and D plan thankfully! I loved hypnobirthing and the power of positive thoughts, so emotionally wasn't traumatic, just physically unfortunately 😬 he came out at a funny angle and I had lots of tearing. Forceps and episiotomy! Episiotomy alone would've been fine I think, if I hadn't torn further.

I naively thought because the chances were so low it wouldn't happen to me! Do your research 🤓 next birth needs to be a c-section really. Say the professionals (they can't tell you what to do but lots of hinting).

Was due on Saturday, not arrived yet. No twinges… just waiting. Have no tests so can’t. Will buy another test on Tuesday still no AF, as all says to wait till then to test! If I am late everyday is pushing my ovulation to the week I’m off an annual leave so don’t mind too much! Haha

Eeeek! This is VERY promising. You are very strong willed, waiting until Tuesday!

@GeoSmed That’s such a pain you’re having to go through that, I’ve heard of other women who were successful with that or letrozole so I have my fingers crossed for you. Yeah I’m lucky with the cycles but I’ll see what the bloods say… I’m totally exhausted from it all really and have v little left to give for trying. We keep on going and hope it’ll eventually work out. Anyway it’s beautiful weather here in Scotland! Gotta get out in the garden X

@Annapolis35 Thank you darling. Yeah they were going to put me on letrozole but my body wasn’t reacting normally. The first month they over stimmed me with the injections and we had to abandon and I was really really ill with OHS. So they changed the injection to something more tweakable so we can up / down it. Letrozole unfortunately you haven’t got much control over and could put me into OHS again so they’ve ruled that out. But thank you! You’re so kind. And back at you. I hope the tests help get you what you need. It’s beautiful here too! Just having a a pit stop between going out again! Bet it’s beaut in Scotland when the suns out.

@dabs9 wow so similar haha. The uncertainty part is definitely the worst, I’m trying to just roll with it and accept this is the process but it’s so annoying! My husband isn’t stupid, he knows basically when fertile time is, we just don’t talk about it anymore and that seems to work 😂

@GeoSmed no probs at all! Thank you, that’s helpful to know. I have a feeling that’s what I have too but I’ll see what the day 3 bloods say and a scan sometime down the road—this was just based on a high amh test but it could just mean I have a good ovarian reserve! I think whatever is going on is essentially fine as I ovulate every month and have pretty regular cycles and had very good progesterone tests, just that it may be impacting on egg quality? So loads of eggs but they’re just a bit shit and don’t mature quite enough. So just hoping eventually there’s a good one. Do you not ovulate by yourself? That must be incredibly irritating and frustrating.

Yeah that’s my issue. Loads of really small 5/6mm follicles and nothing 13mm+ which is when you’d release. So yeah I’m with you there! No I don’t ovulate as nothing is mature enough to pop out so I have to inject to grow them then do a trigger shot to release.
It’s good your cycles are normal tho. That’s amazing. Can’t get pregnant if you don’t ovulate so that’s amazing you do! Hopefully they’ll find something on the bloods. X

@GeoSmed Hahhaha I love that dream! Manifest it baby! I need to work on my manifesting for June. A March baby would be cute! I'm putting it down to his speech developing. Everything is a "phase" 🤣😴 Lucky you avoiding a period! Oh you play golf too, very impressed. I'd suck! 🤣

Also isn't it crazy how you become okay with being poked, prodded and naked? 🤣 I was so prude before Adolf but had a traumatic birth and tons of tests afterwards and now I'm like, whatever? 😅
