There seems to be a few of us, so thought i'd start a support thread.

I'm going mad - seriously

I'm on cd17 - I was sure I ovulated over the weekend - last night I had a migraine and today I have some pretty heavy spotting.

Now i know that spotting can be a sign of implantation...but not his early, right? And headaches can be an early sign of pregnancy (with all the hormonal changes) but again - not this early.

i'm just so confused and depressed and stressed - and sick of having to put a smile on my face around all the pregnant woman around and having to say stupid things like "Yes, we do want another one - yes, we know dd1 is getting big and needs a little sister/brother - yes, we're working on it"

why is this so hard?

Sorry lissie - hope the clomid helps.

Don't feel too bad at the mo, but I am cd20 so the real monthly madness has yet to start....

Sorry for crashing the thread btw - know lissie from elsewhere but not others. My story - 1 lovely dd, then 3mcs and all tests negative. Have been ttc dc2 for nearly three years in total now. Will be asking for referral back to gynae if no bfp this month - wonder if clomid the way forward?

Sprinkling baby dust on all who post here!

Hey lissie - how did it go?

worrybum · 14/04/2008 12:29

lissielou I am at the recurrent miscarriage clinic at the Royal Infirmary in Leicester. Professor Konje. Have yet to go for all of the tests though. I know I should probably wait to TTC. Only a couple of months before I may or may not get some answers eh?

Hi all
Well, I had a great feeling about last month - but no - AF was right on time And I'm trying not to get too excited this month...I'm pretty sure that I ovulated in the past 3 days - and we've bd'ed on each of those days
While a part of me thinks that this next one will be 'the one' to stick I keep reminding myslef that my problem hasn't really been getting pregnant - just staying pregnant
wen I totally get the whole up/down happy/sad thing - the worst is when people tell me that I need to not stress about it all - I know that's true...but damn...how can I not be stressed!!
anyway, wishing all of you who are trying got bd'ing

Hi Lissielou,
how are you? After much debate about looking into tests/clinics etc we have decided to look into surrogacy. I just dont think i can take much more, physically and mentally im tired of all the excitement then the sadness!!! Will keep you posted of any progress.

hi worrybum, which hospital hav eyou been referred to?

OP posts:
worrybum · 07/04/2008 21:15

Hi ladies. Sorry for all of your losses . Can I please join? DH and I have been together 11 years. We have one dd(8yo), had threatened miscarriage with her at 7 weeks but fortunately went on to have healthy pregnancy. Would really love to have another dc but have had 4 successive miscarriages -Jan 04, Jan 05, July 06 and Aug 07. Have been referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic and think it will be a couple of months before I have had the blood tests and am seen by the consultant. Think I should perhaps wait until result before TTC though so that I am armed with any information and plus I don't exactly feel on top form emotionally or physically at the moment.

tbh i dont think there is a difference. im sorry about af. its so tough, i know!

wen10 · 23/03/2008 18:13

Thanks Lissie,
well AF has now arrived so i guess it's a definate no this times as i thought but i was hoping secretly that the line would increase!

I have found out so much more now on Nkcells etc and have decided to to Dr Thum first then if no joy i will go on to LWH to see Dr Quenby.

The only thing at the moment which i dont seem to find an answer to is what the difference is between the NK cells in uterus that Dr Quenby tests on (endometrium biopsie) and the blood tests for Nkcells that other Dr's test for?
Anyway will keep you posted as and when i get appointment.

lissielouwithbunnyears · 19/03/2008 10:49
