Sorry to hear that @Paws4thought I know how worrying seeing spotting can be. I’ve never actually heard of any difference which way you use the pessaries, maybe you can try rectally for now if your scan is tomorrow and get some guidance then?

Paws4thought · 29/04/2025 05:57

@Jadeypie yeah Wednesday is first scan, I started spotting Saturday but was only happening after pessary until yesterday when I had a small bleed middle of day and feel like it's got worse now, more like dark red rather than pink or brown. The tommys help line said to switch to rectal use as could be irritated cervix but when I saw consultant in Jan I asked about thst and she said she prefers vaginally as gets it close to pregnancy so I'm really torn about switching? I really hoped the progesterone would stop the bleeding but think this is prob worst I've had 😞
Hope your bloods come back OK today :)

Jadeypie · 28/04/2025 05:01

@Paws4thought will Wednesday be your first scan? I'm waiting patiently for blood results today then more Tuesday and hopefully get a scan booked for the following Friday I will be 6 weeks then. My anxiety has been through the roof!

Keep us updated with your scan im sending you lots of positivity xxxx

Paws4thought · 25/04/2025 09:18

@Jadeypie @xxcxdonxx Congratulations both! Amazing we've all got positive so close together, I hope this is the one for us all 🥰
@Sez281 I'm OK so far, got scan booked for Wednesday which is about 6 weeks 🙂 how are you getting on?
@supertrooper101 wow 7 months had gone quickly, bless her!
@westy22 hope ovie is feeling a bit better now!

Sez281 · 25/04/2025 08:51

Oh @xxcxdonxx and @Jadeypie I've just seen the updates I'm absolutely delighted for you both, these posts have made my day!! ☺️ Will be keeping everything crossed for you ladies! Xx

@Paws4thought how are you doing? Hope everything is going X

@Supertrooper101 you're dead right, she'll do it in her own time. Every baby is different. With regards to weaning I'm doing a mix of purée and finger food, she's taking to it well but it's definitely messy!

@Westy22 hope Ovies cold has passed, there's nothing worse than when they're all bunged up. Never thought a snot sucker would be my best friend 😂

Jadeypie · 25/04/2025 06:33

@xxcxdonxx we just have to take any positive we can and run with it!! I've had zero spotting so I'm taking that as a good sign too!

Thats great news little bean is coming on leaps tho!! Well done for registering with the midwife hopefully speaking to her will give you some peace of mind.....or is this it be full on loons for months? Haha

I didn't either and to think that was never picked up with my first is wild.

I just have headaches and incredible thirst and the usual full tenner boobs. If I remember correctly 8-9 weeks symptoms ramp up till 12 xx

xxcxdonxx · 24/04/2025 23:05

I’m similar to you @Jadeypie , definitely an underlying sense of worry but I’ve had no spotting etc. this time round so hopeful that this may be the one.

Yes, they said they could see really good development from my the previous scan two weeks ago and didn’t have any concerns, wish I shared their enthusiasm! I’ve plucked up the courage to register with a midwife too so I’ll see her next week.

I didn’t realise that about heart shaped wombs, really good you’ve been referred so quickly and they are on top of it.

I’ve been ok, a bit nauseous but that’s fuelled by nerves too. I’m also on progesterone and daily blood thinning injections so feeling a bit battered and bruised 🥴

Jadeypie · 24/04/2025 19:09

@xxcxdonxx I'm anxious for sure but also hopeful! Am I have some symptoms so that's good ha.

Oh really is that because all went well with your scan? I bet that makes you feel anxious to wait till 12 weeks!

The Dr referred me to the prem team too because my heart shaped womb can cause prem labour but with me carrying to full term with James she said I can do it again. Just another thing to add into the worries xxx

I just keep reminding myself this is a new pregnancy and try and just be in the moment!

How have your symptoms been? Xx

xxcxdonxx · 24/04/2025 18:22

@Jadeypie whaaaat, that’s amazing!! That’s good you have a plan to monitor you in place. How are you feeling?

I’ve no plan in place, EPAU said they didn’t need to see me again and I could just wait for my 12 week scan. Not sure if I’ll manage the wait for ask for another scan midway.

Jadeypie · 24/04/2025 17:13

@Supertrooper101 so i have to have blood tests every two days from tomorrow which just gives me anxiety but I know it needs to be done thought because I've had no spotting ect they would of left me till a early scan but they want to monitor my bloods x

Supertrooper101 · 24/04/2025 14:46

@Jadeypie oh wow 🙂 will you have regular check ups?

Jadeypie · 24/04/2025 10:14

Jadeypie · 23/04/2025 08:26

@Supertrooper101 awww they all do their own thing my James didn't ever roll he was just not interested he does now tho haha or bloody constantly climbing. So it's true you do forget? Think I've forgot and it's only been four years haha.

Well I got a faint line this morning I'm 11dpo came up straight away so just seeing how the week pans out. Only thing giving me hope is I've had sero spotting leading up to af which I always get and did with my last two pregnancys xx

Supertrooper101 · 23/04/2025 08:17

@xxcxdonxx thats such good news to see 🙂 hope they give you extra monitoring
@Jadeypie good luck for your appointment, but like you say, maybe your body was just a little tired and ready to go again. Heres hoping for no period!
@Westy22 swear myne had a 'cold' for a solid 6mths lol aparently a c section can do that 🤷‍♀️. How you doing the weaning? Do you blend the food or just give the veg soft? Ive completley forgot everything lol
@Sez281 awww little ones first holiday.. you will need to free up some space on your phones for all the pictures lol am soooo ready for some teeth to cut thr. Shes had the signs for weeks! Lol

Cant remember who asked lol little uns 7mths. Been sotting up for a coupe months but refuses to roll or be on her belly lol but am not fussed. She will do stuff when she pleases lol

Jadeypie · 22/04/2025 14:57

@Paws4thought that second bit was for you I didn't tag you sorry xx

Jadeypie · 22/04/2025 14:56

@xxcxdonxx oh lovely news!!! I am absolutely delighted for you 🫠 sending so much positiveity your way xx

I hope everything is going well for you! How are you feeling? Xx

@Westy22 aww it's horrible when they get sick! you just feel hopeless. It's been the same in our house now I've caught it off my little man never ending circle xx

My appointment is Thursday to see the specialist which should be interesting. No clue what's next. Ive finally got my cycles to 30-33 days from those 20 day ones so I'm proud of my body think the ectopic and then miscarriage just took a toll and my body needed a break. Anyways I'm on cd31 hopefully that hycosy done some tricks for me like @Sez281 xx

Westy22 · 22/04/2025 14:08

@xxcxdonxx ahhhhh it's so lovely to hear from you and with such positive news ❤️ really praying this is your time, have they agreed regular checks? I can imagine you feel a bit on edge atm. Really wishing you well xx

@Paws4thought I hope your also doing okay xxx

Ovies full of a cold, my god its been rough and now he's passed it on to me. Hopefully he is coming out of the other side of it, he's sleeping loads and not feeding as much as normal so just trying to keep an eye on his nappies etc 😴

xxcxdonxx · 22/04/2025 13:55

Hi everyone, so nice to see your messages pop up!

@Jadeypie hope your appointment goes well, I think it’s tomorrow? I know the feeling of back and forth for giving it ‘one last shot’, it’s a really difficult one to walk away from.

Brilliant that Ovie is loving his foods @Westy22 , long may it continue. Weaning is such a messy time but amazing to see them try different things.

@Paws4thought so delighted to see your update, how are you doing?

@Sez281 that must feel like a quick 6months for you! Hope you enjoy your month holiday, spending some time in the sun sounds amazing.

@SnookyPook hope everything is good with you and the boys?

@Supertrooper101 hope your little one is doing well, my wee girl didn’t take to weaning well either but we got there eventually with her.

Little update from me, we’ve not been ‘trying’ as such but did get a positive test a few weeks ago and had a scan this morning where I am measuring about 7weeks. I can’t actually believe it, it’s the furthest I’ve got in these past two years. Still early days yet but was in total shock to get some good news from EPAU. It’s my first positive since my last MC almost a year ago so my body maybe just needed the time to recover, who knows xx

Westy22 · 16/04/2025 10:14

@Paws4thought it's cows milk allergy, literally made his skin peel and flare @Supertrooper101 was horrific. Thankfully his skin is already amazing, he's on prescription formula now...£40 a tin...thank god for prescriptions 😂 I going to start introducing allergens as I know it's very common for babies with eczema to have other allergies. Ah is she not? Ovie is loving life trying different foods lol he's on broccoli atm and I thought this would be the one he wouldn't take but he loves it 😂 he's dinky for his age so I'm hoping it fattens him up a bit.

Glad you've finally got answers @Jadeypie will keep everything crossed for you ❤️

@Sez281 ah Ovie has reflux too, its calmed down loads but we have the odd bad day. I've avoided meds too as I read it can cause lots of constipation. So jealous your going away for a month 😂 although we did an 11 day holiday and I'm not gonna lie it was rough 😂😂 the only perk was it was all inclusive so I didn't need to worry about cooking etc and the weather was nice. So good luck ❤️

@Paws4thought hope your doing okay xx

Sez281 · 16/04/2025 10:03

Hi ladies, wow so much to catch up on!

@HopeAndStrength aww I can't believe he's 15 months, time is flying! Hope the trip to Scotland was fab!

@Westy22 Sorry to hear about Ovie's CMPA, hope the weaning is going ok. We started Sophie about a month ago (she's 6.5 months now) it's going well, her reflux is still pretty bad but she's a "happy spitter" So luckily doesn't need meds or anything. We've a few teeth through so sleep is pretty hit & miss at the moment 🥴

@Supertrooper101 how is your little one doing? Is she crawling or anything? I feel like it's going to start soon here, dreading her being on the move and not being able to turn my back for a second 🙈😂

@Jadeypie Oh I'm so glad to hear that you've had all the tests and know where you stand, best of luck with the clinic, will be keeping everything crossed for you! X

@Paws4thought Aww congratulations lovely! So glad to hear that you're on the progesterone, will be thinking of you and praying for the best possible outcome! 🙏

@xxcxdonxx Hopw you're doing ok, you're probably well settled into the new place now?

@SnookyPook Hope you and the boys are doing well xx

I can't believe how dart time has gone. So much has happened. I honestly can't remember my life before her, everyday is kind of a blur. It's tough going with the lack of sleep but she s totally worth it 🥹 We're driving over to Spain for the month of May and it can't come soon enough as it'll be such a nice break. It won't be like my previous holidays but the sunshine should make it easier 😂

If I've missed anyone I'm sorry, hope everyone is doing well xx

@westy22 what is CMPA? Ooo hope he continues loving the healthy stuff :) Can't believe he's 5 months already!
@Jadeypie ah that's really interesting, good to actually have some answers, hopefully the spotting was your tube unblocking 🤞 not long til infertility clinic, keep us updated :)
@supertrooper101 how old is your little one now?

Jadeypie · 13/04/2025 20:16

@Supertrooper101 aww how is your little one doing? I don't get notifications either just now and again.

They tried to flush it with saline after the dye wouldnt go through it didn't work but I did spot for a good few days later so maybe it unblocked after the fact who knows I did notice my ovulation pain wasn't just tonne side this month. Suppose time will tell x x

Supertrooper101 · 13/04/2025 20:09

@Westy22 my nephew had that. He was on special milk. His skin was so bad 😔 he was in so much discomfort. Buttttt, it did get better over time finally when all the allergys were eliminated and you would never guess now and dowent suffer any skin problems at all now! My little one isnt too keen on weaning...at all 🤣. Not gona force it though.
@Jadeypie am so plsd you had that test and finally have a solid answer after all this time! Ive not been getting notifications so read your not trying again to yep one more go messages together lol was they able to unblock the other tube? Might finally be your year 🙂
@Paws4thought thats great news. And that you have the progesterone ready! Keep us updated 🙂

Jadeypie · 13/04/2025 13:01

@Paws4thought aww lovely news 😊 xx

@Westy22 oh I loved this stage it's so fun my little one suffered bad with colic. Soon as he started weaning the difference was amazing he loved his food too and still does! Xx

Little update from me. I had my hycosy wow that was a experience! Turns out I have a heart shaped womb. Only one tube works plus my dodgy hormones so the odds was never really in my favour. Since that me and my partner had a serious discussion about having another i know I said we was done but deep down i wasn't so we have decided to give it one last go again. Got the infertility clinic in 10 days so will wait to see what's next xx
