@PADonk ahhh thank you for that! I defo will if I get pregnant at any point. Tbh I’m so confused with my LHs - according to app I should be ovulating in the next 2 days (I know an app can be wrong) but I did some tests a day after AF, that were darker than what they are now - still not as dark as control line but they should be steadily going up. What is going on

@BB78910 oh I’m so so sorry, that must have been absolutely awful 💕💕💕

The nurse’s verbatim words to me were “the guidelines say you have to have a previous loss, be bleeding and have had a scan but there’s no risks from it so we don’t have a problem with giving it out until you get to a scan and heavy wink how am I to know if you’re actually bleeding or not?” So I’d defo try next time.

Did you visit EPU the last time? If they’re anything like mine they’re not a big fan of reading records so you could even say you were told last time you miscarried to call and they would give you a prescription 👍🏼

@PADonk ah I see! I’ve only seen that you can be prescribed baby aspirin if there’s a concern with blood flow to the placenta (which I had low PAPP-A in pregnancy) so they have given me that prescription. I have one child but 3 pregnancies - first was a medical termination for anomalies at 17w which was shit then the next one was fine and then the latest MC so that’s where I feel like I need more support as it is defo an anxious time. Maybe instead of self referring online I’ll do it via GP this time

@BB78910 i just prescribed myself after reading up on it but then I’ve since read it can increase the chance of hematomas etc so I stopped again after I started bleeding heavily.

No we don’t have any - I had a an abortion in my early 20s though at about 13 weeks (didn’t realise I was pregnant for ages as I had a heavy bleed early on) so I know I can get there. Do you?

I don’t think there was anything particular on my scan or symptoms that made her think progesterone would definitely help - just the fact we’ve had 2 in a row now and it might help us to feel like we’re being proactive next time / give us slightly better odds. Definitely ask next time though if you want it - very much felt like they’re quite open to prescribing it to anyone who’s had a loss and feeling anxious xx

@Catson congratulations wow!!!

@PADonk i wasn’t but I was with my previous pregnancy from 12w. What did they give you aspirin for? Also just wanted to ask - do you have any previous children (not sure if I missed that) cos they’ve not told me to ask for progesterone but hearing from quite a few people they have so I don’t know if it’s something I should be making enquiries about xx

@Catson congratulations and best of luck 🎉💕

@Roses12345 excitinggg, glad you seem to be feeling quite chilled about it all ☺️ and please let us know any and all updates with your ex!

@BB78910 can I just check if you were on aspirin? I was and I observing if it might have affected things. Just been for scan - no signs of ectopic thank god but lining still a bit thick so taken more bloods again 🥱 and might want to see me again in a week 😭 nurse was lovely though and said if I get pregnant again to ring up asap and tell them she said I can have a progesterone prescription, if nothing else just so I can feel like we’re doing something. Fingers crossed for you too 🤞🏼 xx

@PADonk @BB78910 Morning im on day two in the tww 🙂 this time round waiting is different compared to in the past though in a way lol 😂 x

BB78910 · 24/10/2023 08:14

@PADonk i have a good feeling about Nov - although I said that to myself last month.
The baby would be the same due month as my DD so there has to be luck in that x
keeping my fingers crossed for you

@BB78910 😂always the way. Thanks - I’m really hoping it doesn’t drag out, the last one was super quick even though I was about double the number of weeks along. Just saps you having to see blood constantly day after day, just want november to be a fresh start (and full of fertile good luck for all of us) xxx

@PADonk my hcg hung around for a while tbh, I kept testing a fair bit and it took about 3w after I passed the sac to get to vvvvfl on a 10miu. Again I’m so sorry - hope it’s quite textbook for you (in the nicest way poss) so you can get back in to a cycle.
My LH test obviously barely had a line there 🤣

@BB78910 ah I’m glad you managed to have a nice time, the coffee and wine is definitely a major silver lining. I know I went back and read your posts and it was basically identical. Just shite. I’ve got a scan tomorrow as my hcg still isn’t falling fast enough so hoping they can figure out what’s going on and sort it out, just want this one done and to get back to TTC. Let us know what the opk says!

@Roses12345 you were definitely a bit of light relief last week 😂. Any updates? Are you tracking?

OP posts:
BB78910 · 23/10/2023 20:59

Omg I go AWOL for a few days and there’s so much going on in this thread 😂
AF did turn up so I just decided to live a little and have as many coffees as I wanted, drank wine the lot, having a fabulous time with the fam. Back home now and back to TTC - although my CM is clear jelly / stringy and it’s a day after AF?! I can’t be ovulating this early surely. I’m going to do an LH test after I finish typing this 😂

@PADonk im so sorry. I had a feeling (your spotting etc did sound like when I had my MC) but didn’t wanna say that cos I didn’t want to be one of those mumsnetters. Hope you’re okay and just take it easy - it’s awful xxxx

@Roses12345 your last two posts literally killed me - you go girl 😂😂😂

can’t remember who posted about this cocktail of meds and nuts but wow 😂😂😂😂 can’t they just grind it all up in a pill pls 😂

Roses12345 · 21/10/2023 21:20

@PADonk aw thanks and I'm not sure at the minute with him yet we ended for a reason.. he's a nob head😂 we've had space for a bit though, but yeah I'm not rushing nothing or out though because i dont know.. ide be happy if i did end up and he was the father though in that way hope you get me ha x

@PADonk mm cheese 🧀 😋 well I'm in the middle of ovulating now and also been sleeping with my ex 🙈 but just taking it slow really as to what to do with us now, so if anything was to happen then it happens if not then it doesn't x

Catson · 21/10/2023 17:49

I'm so sorry to hear your news @PADonk. Look after yourself, enjoy the cheese and wine and gie yourself time to process it all

@Roses12345 not good I’m afraid 😔, was already pretty sure I passed the sac last night though so I was ready for it. Hcg down but not quite halved so back in on Sunday for more bloods but it’s definitely another mc. Totally shit but at least I know now and haven’t got the anxiety of stressing every time I go to the toilet. Will be back in it with the rest of the gang next month 💪🏼 thanks for asking, hope you’re getting on ok? Xxx

@PADonk how did you get on today with your bloods? I'm really hoping u had some good news🙏❤️xx

Doveylc · 20/10/2023 12:58

Still no period for me but negative test! My mind is jumping from slight hope to just arrive already so we can go again.

I have had such bad nausea and my usual period chin spots haven’t arrived. Confused!
