@Supertrooper101 it was the cardiologist that gave me her personal number, not my obstetrician (she still scares the life out of me 🙈😂) i definitely need think there's something underlying as according to my Fitbit one night last week while I was fast asleep my rate hit 176 🤯 But I agree that a lot of it is exacerbated by stress so the holiday should definitely help 🧘
I think yours has flown by! Glad you've had all those extra scans so hopefully reassuring going into the "big one" I think you may have to put them all out of their misery then and tell them! 😂

@SnookyPook wow July really isn't very far away, he'll be here before you know it.
@Sez281 that's a bit scary about your heart palpitations, hopefully nothing to worry about tho, could just be stress. I'm amazed she gave you private number!
@Jadeypie sounds like this cycle is going well :)
@Supertrooper101 hopefully meds have got your heart burn under control! 20 weeks is a good milestone too, are you looking forward to scan?
@Westy22 how are you getting on?
@xxcxdonxx what time is your scan tomorrow? You've done well waiting it out.

I'm having a bit of a wobble again, test was negative this morning which I'm ok about but had some cramping and no period yet, i know I'm technically not due on until tomorrow but have read retained products can cause scarring and risk increases with each mva too. I'm sure I had cramping and no period around 4 weeks ago too 😩

Supertrooper101 · 28/04/2024 08:55

@SnookyPook tbf with had a couple of private ones that do 20wk checks and 4d lol least theyve give you the head ups that he may be here early and when you say july, that does sound close lol yiur appointment scedule with m/w must be different. Ours goes from 16wk then not till 25 lol
@Jadeypie not told anyone lol i do think there very inpatiently waiting on me 🤣. So probably get told off when i do tell em lol its still really cold here so still been layered up so easy to hide, or so i fort lol
@xxcxdonxx has the waiting gone fast for you? Good that your calm about it either outcome. Its tomorrow isnt it?

@Sez281 bloody el a consultants private number, and there was you scared of her lol i think thats great shes done that. So youl have that at hand and your oh has sorted out medical centres in spain, i think you will be just fine and the fact your symptons eased on just the first day off, maybe says youve just run your self down a little. Which is completley understandable. Change of scenery no pressure and SUN will be better than any meds prescribed i think lol am ok about the 20wk, probably cos ive already had mini ones so hopefully itl be the same outcome 🙂. Cant decide if its gone quick or not lol

Sez281 · 28/04/2024 08:20

Typically I feel like my palpitations and flutters eased for the 24 hours I had the monitor on (still had a couple but not as frequent) It was my first day off work and I didn't really do much physically so that explains it) Will know what the plan is when they call with results next week. The consultant was so nice. She says I'm fine to fly on Friday and if I do need meds they'll be perfectly safe to take. She knows this is a precious pregnancy so even gave me her mobile to text if I have any concerns.

@Jadeypie yay for cd29 that's really encouraging 🙌

@Supertrooper101 how you feeling about the 20 week scan next week? It's such a massive milestone. Do you think you'll relax a bit more then?

@SnookyPook your midwife sounds so nice! Imagine it was the end of July, that's going to fly in! 😱😂 Did you keep a lot of things from your son? Hopefully you don't have to get too much new stuff. I haven't let my brain go there yet but if everything goes ok at the 20 week scan I might allow myself to start thinking about it a bit!🙏

@xxcxdonxx So glad you had a nice weekend and the little ones party went well. Will be thinking of you and crossing everything for you tomorrow 🙏 xx

@Sez281 that sounds stressful in itself, how are you doing? Sounds like you are in good hands and hopefully they can give you some results/advice pretty quickly.

That’s good that your cycles seem a bit more predictable @Jadeypie and only a few more days to go.

@SnookyPook glad to hear that he is sounding happy in there. Ooh July doesn’t seem so far away at all.

Thanks for checking in, we’ve had a lovely wee day. No news here, just patiently waiting for my follow up appointment now and feeling pretty calm about it for now.

SnookyPook · 27/04/2024 11:10

@Sez281 aw hope all ok. Most likely stress/anxiety isn't it but good that they are taking it seriously and checking you out properly. At least you will know then.

@Jadeypie aw hopefully this is an ovulation month then! 🤞🏼

@Supertrooper101 oh wow 20wk scan next week?! Awesome! It definitely feels more real after that!

@xxcxdonxx hope your little one has a lovely birthday 🥰

Had a midwife appointment yesterday. They're not doing fundal height measurements as the scans take precedence now we're on that pathway but she had a listen in and he's sounding fine. She was really reassuring about all the small baby stuff too. I'm feeling ok about it at the moment. There is a chance they will want to get him out a little early though depending on how he's doing over the next few weeks. I have a feeling we might be meeting him end of July rather than mid-August. It's all starting to sound quite close!!

Jadeypie · 27/04/2024 10:25

@Supertrooper101 yeh I agree with her too feel like I'm getting to a place of knowing my cycle again. Hahaha my son did come out with loads of hair but then it all fell out! Aww not long to wait then. Have you told everyone now then? Xx

Supertrooper101 · 27/04/2024 09:29

@Sez281 restless leg is a horrible sensations. So bloody weird. My nose bleeds seem to have settled since taking the heartburn stuff 🤔 maybe weeks of acid in the throat had sumat to do with them.... watch em come back later lol am sleeping shit now taking the ompr whatever stuff, lol ya right, theres always sumat ha. Have you had heart problems before or is this all new? Have they said your ok to go on a plane etc? Your stressed busy at work and uv been worried with your pregnancy, so its understandable 🙁.. 🤞the results are manageable
@Jadeypie think yiur cycles have sorted themselfs out now since the meds havent they so maybe ur dr is right that your hormones r ok lol just sumat else that isnt now 🤣... i had heartburn really bad with my son, they say its if the baby has alot of hair.....he came out bold ! I cant remember with my girl tho. I get it in the throat not chest tho, probably why my gums feel fooked lol its end of next week 🙂..

Jadeypie · 27/04/2024 08:51

@Supertrooper101 19 weeks!! When.is your scan due? That bloody heartburn killed me off lived on gaviscon hahah xx

Jadeypie · 27/04/2024 08:50

@Sez281 oh that's abit scary isn't it do they no what could be causing it? Have u had this before? And I'm 8dpo today only 4 days till af is due its flown by really I'm cd 29 longest cycle I've had in a while I think my short cycles I don't ovulate and my longer ones I do xx

Sez281 · 27/04/2024 07:02

Oh @Supertrooper101 there's always a new symptom to replace the old ones isn't there 🙈 I'm getting the blocked nose/sinus stuff now, no bleeds though! I've seen a lot of ladies get restless legs, sounds horrible 😣

I've actually been put on a 24 hour heart monitor. Basically I've been getting palpitations since early on (google told me they were normal) my consultant said it's better to get checked so I went to a cardiologist for a few tests and my resting heart rate is way too high (I knew that from my fit bit anyway) Anyway it may be a case that I have to go on medication which of course I don't want to but will wait and see what they say after this monitor results... It could just be anxiety and stress .. I honestly don't know how not to be anxious though 🤷‍♀️

@Paws4thought and @Jadeypie hope the TWW is going quickly and you both have lots of distractions!

@xxcxdonxx Hope you're doing ok 🤞Enjoy your little one's birthday this weekend xx

Supertrooper101 · 26/04/2024 08:00

@Paws4thought @Jadeypie love the attitude, hope it last till you get your positives 🙂.. am around 19 now... cracked and got something for heartburn @Sez281 lol it was more in my throat gagging me which i read wasnt good! So no acid last nite, instead restless leg and every position uncomfy lol like... wtf 🤦‍♀️

Jadeypie · 25/04/2024 11:07

@Supertrooper101 yehh I agree. Time will tell I suppose. How are you getting on? I crnt remember how many weeks your at now xx

Jadeypie · 25/04/2024 11:06

@Paws4thought it's great when you can get to the point of not being obsessed about testing!! I have everything crossed for you this cycle xx

I'm 6dpo today nothing new for me either just my usual aches and pains and my backs still giving me problems. Like you @Paws4thought I won't be testing early either xx

SnookyPook · 25/04/2024 08:48

@Paws4thought nice to hear from you and glad you're doing well! It's always nice when you're able to be a bit more relaxed about the tww isn't it?! Keeping fingers crossed here too 😊

Paws4thought · 25/04/2024 06:26

@xxcxdonxx ah 8 weeks I didn't realise you'd be that far, hopefully all will be OK! Thank you :)

xxcxdonxx · 25/04/2024 06:04

Thanks @Paws4thought , it’s so true and it does seem that it could either way. I’ll be 8 weeks so I’m hoping I’ll know for definite by that point.
I was thinking that you must be coming to the end of your tww. That’s good that you are quite relaxed about it, takes the pressure of either outcome. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you though xx

Paws4thought · 25/04/2024 00:24

@Jadeypie that's fab that your gp listened and was helpful, hopefully catching peak the last 2 months will help with tracking more too!
@Sez281 glad your scan went well, bet you can't wait for your holidays now!
@SnookyPook aww that's quite cute having dinky babies, as you said your first was small too so doesn't seem like anything to worry about :)
@Westy22 your pregnancy is definitely flying by!
@Supertrooper101 how many weeks are you now?
@xxcxdonxx sorry to see things aren't great, as others have said try to stay positive as anything in early pregnancy seems to be able to lead to good or bad news but always good to keep your guard up, hope the next few days go quickly, how many weeks should you be at scan?

I'm 10dpo now, other than not sleeping that well and dreaming a lot nothing to note symptom wise, planning to test at weekend, this is the first time I'm not really bothered about testing as early as poss which is a good thing I think.

Supertrooper101 · 24/04/2024 11:19

@Jadeypie most of the time it is bloody hormones, females have it tuff lol but catching a peak both times and a decent lp phase i would maybe agree with ur dr on this one. Inflamation isnt good for any part of the body so like westy says,if you have it and its managed, you should...be completley sorted! Lol..
@xxcxdonxx you dont need to keep things in or worry your putting a downeron the group. Far from it.. we all have our own little fears weekly regardless where were at and its nice we have each other to confide in... ul be knakered all weekend so it should fly by lol

Jadeypie · 24/04/2024 09:55

@xxcxdonxx awww our little ones are perfect little distractions and healers while we are going through a bad time. My little boy has been my angel in disguise the last two years xx

@Sez281 well since finally catching a peak I think my lp is 11 or 12 days. Xx

@Westy22 omg I totally forgot u suffer with that. The drs really heading down that path for me with all these symptoms ive been having since last September, but come to think of it, iv always suffered. I just always put it down to lack of gallbladder ect. I think whatever it is I'm defo going through a flare up of somthing and have been for a while! blaiming hormones which I do suffer with too but she's convinced that they are regulating out and doing a better job than what they was. Suppose last year I couldn't catch a peak this year. Both times I've tried, I've caught one xx

Westy22 · 24/04/2024 08:47

Morning

@Jadeypie I have coeliac and once gluten is cut out of your diet you'll be fine, I was diagnosed when I was about 22. It's alot easier now then it was back then in terms of what's available to buy. But as I say once it's under control i can't say it's affected me too much, I would maybe make sure your taking vitamins as that was the only thing that worried me as you don't necessarily absorb everything you need, you have to be strict tho as you don't want inflammation in your body x

@xxcxdonxx I'm sorry this is happening to you, as others have said it could be something else that's trigger the small bleed. Keeping everything crossed x

Sez281 · 24/04/2024 08:04

@xxcxdonxx I'm sure it is a coincidence but I get why you'd be questioning it! It's good that you've got the little ones birthday the weekend, they'll be a lovely distraction I'm sure 🤞xx

@Jadeypie I meant to reply yesterday, so glad your consultation with the GP was productive. I agree that if I had the choice I'd much rather short than crazy long cycles. Have you tracked how long your luteal phase is? I know some women that have had difficulty ttc their second and it turns out it was due to a short LP. Mine was quite short (9-10 days) so I took the progesterone to extend it, might be worth looking in to. Also I could be wrong but doesn't @Westy22 have coeliac? I think it can be managed quite well. Either way I'm glad that they're being thorough with your tests 👌 xx

xxcxdonxx · 24/04/2024 07:23

Thanks everyone, this thread really is the best. It totally feels like I can’t catch a break! It’s just frustrating that everything seemed fine until I had the scan and started the injections and I know it’s most likely a sheer coincidence.
There are so many threads on here about people who have had big bleeds and it’s all worked out so it’s definitely not impossible, I just don’t want to rely on that happening for me.
I’m back in on Monday so a bit of a wait. I’m just hoping that whatever happens it waits until after the weekend, it’s my wee girls birthday on Saturday and we’re having family over so I don’t want to ruin it x

Jadeypie · 24/04/2024 06:52

Ohh @xxcxdonxx I'm so sorry you are going through this!! Feel like you crnt catch a break! I echo what everyone els says 🤗 just no we are always here for you to let your emotions out xx

Obviously since being the Dr I've been down the rabbit hole on shitty google hahaha. They are testing me for coeliac which I'm praying I don't have but it also does make sence and can mess with fertility? Anyway I've decided if I do have that I will be putting the ttc off hold to get my health in order after this tww xx

Supertrooper101 · 23/04/2024 21:05

@Jadeypie yay plsd you got seen and heard! Good your still under the other ppl too. I rekon u will be sorted soon 🙂
@xxcxdonxx uv got the sickness which is a great sign, and the bleed, can be 50 50 what it is and we all know that these sch are very very common so the bleed could be from one of them. I think you do right keeping your guard up but at the same time, it could be nothing. I found alot of forums on here re the sch, may give you a little hope x
