This is such good news @Jecca88 ! So so relieved for you!! That’s an important one, so lovely how invested Dr Edge and Olivia are too and I think CRP put a lot of emphasis on the 10 weeks. Just yay xx

Ahhh so pleased for you @Jecca88 and thank you @Deerdancer34 for the kind words. I had the bloods this morning and will be waiting for them to phone later today 🙏🏻🤞🏻✨ manifesting (or at least trying to 🤣)

@Jecca88 Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! So so so delighted for you! This is such a major hurdle, what wonderful news! I remember Dr S saying 10 weeks is the important milestone. I know there will still be anxiety but please enjoy this lovely lovely news! Really has made my day 💖

Jecca88 · 21/11/2025 09:04

Hey @Deerdancer34 - we got the results yesterday and I am so pleased to say it’s all clear for the major three syndromes. I got a missed called from the clinic and I actually couldn’t speak, Olivia and Dr Edge said they screamed when the results came through - I am so grateful and just in disbelief. I still have so many hurdles to get through, but it’s nice to have some good news on our side.
also really hoping this is your month my love! ❤️❤️

@Hopeandfaith1990 numbers sound great, keeping everything crossed for today’s!

Deerdancer34 · 21/11/2025 07:15

haha me too @Deerdancer34 I’m trying to take it literally minute by minute 🤣🤣

You’re so right, TTC calendar is just something else. I’m crossing everything for you this cycle lovely. It’s always on your mind isn’t it, my husband thinks about it a lot but obviously we actually feel the symptoms etc so you literally can’t escape it!!

@Hopeandfaith1990 Oh my goodness 🥰 I'm trying very hard to not get ahead of myself but I'm so excited for you 💖🙏 I'm 3dpo & on my drugs 😆 trying not to think about it too much but then you can't help it can you 😅 Funny how 10days or 7 weeks sounds nothing but in TTC terms - its a lifetime 🤣

@Hopeandfaith1990 Will the numbers give you an idea today? Sending you love!

Yes, today was 280 which they were really happy with - it's a good start for sure at 11dp5dt and hopefully we will see the number double on Friday :-) thank you for the love!! How are you? xx

@Jecca88 great news on your scan ☺️ Thank you for the welcome. It does all feel very daunting. And worried about how much time keeps passing, and the financial side of things too now!

@Deerdancer34 thank you so much. It all feels like information overload at the moment from the chat with the clinic. I’m definitely open to looking at CRP, and think they will be my next port of call. It’s really hard to find the hope, but knowing I haven’t yet explored all avenues is keeping me going that hopefully one day I’ll have a baby. I’m sorry about your tough journey too

Hello all, just a quick one to say that I will be travelling to London and in CRP for my follow-up consultation at 9am tomorrow (Thursday). Just thought I'd mention on the off chance that any of you will be around!

Oh I’d have loved to meet up but I’m working and going straight to an acupuncture session! Good idea though, let us know how the appointment goes and when you’ll next be there ? Hope it goes well.

CarpeDiem75 · 19/11/2025 09:06

To all we have done it already and really random question which NIPT tests did you go for? and how did you manage to have results without the blood thinners impacting the results? Sorry as I said very random but I was reading about it again last night so thought I would ask for your experience on this!!! Thanks

Hopeandfaith1990 · 18/11/2025 18:59

Ohhh so amazing @Jecca88 I welled up reading your update it sounds so magical ✨💕

Thinking of you as you wait for Friday, as you say there’s nothing you can do and you’ve done absolutely everything you can do to keep the baby safe. You’ve got this 💪 how are you physically atm?

I’m okay thanks. Going for HCG betas tomorrow and Friday, not sure how I feel about it. Obviously it’s probably go to know if the numbers aren’t great but also part of me wants to live in ignorance a bit longer if it’s all going to cascade around me. Anyway I’m trying to be positive so framing it as ‘it’ll reassure me a bit until a scan as the numbers WILL be going in the right direction’. Sleep is still terrible but I’m physically fine really. No symptoms apart from very mildly sore boobs and a bit of a dry mouth. Scan will be at 7 weeks if I make it that far I think. I don’t do intralipids - just hoping the Pred/Prog/blood thinners etc will do their thing and keep this pregnancy going 🤞🏻

@Jecca88 I am so thrilled for you!!!! You're angel baby, what a magical moment 🥹🥹🥹 10 weeks is a real turning point so this is great! Hoping everything goes well for Friday, deep breaths, one day at a time 💞💞💞 I feel so emotional for you 😘

Deerdancer34 · 18/11/2025 15:34

@Jecca88 Hope all goes well today 🙏

@Hopeandfaith1990 It's torture but just try and take each day as it comes and don't look too far ahead...easier said than done I know!

@pagey23 Enjoy Thailand, take the time to just be, soak up the sun and enjoy! I'm so glad your, GP is supportive, it really helps not to feel you're fighting every step of the way.

@Figtree11 Welcome and so so sorry for all you're going through. I'm at CRP, I had 3 miscarriages and an ectopic beforehand and then had my daughter by Superovulation and medications through them - it was a long journey, as is the case for everyone here. All I can say is don't give up hope, that's the only thing that kept me going. Ask away because its so overwhelming, especially when its hard to understand everything (I'm not sure I still fully understand everything). I'm not sure if they offer those tests because I've never looked into it. Maybe you can enquire?

Lots of love to you all 💓

Jecca88 · 18/11/2025 15:26

Hey my loves, had my 10 week scan today and all went well. I was convinced it was going to be gone, but it was the most magical scan, in the 3D scan pic the baby had a halo over its head - both dr edge and Olvia were like wow this is your angel baby. Both of us in tears and my husband said it is the best birthday gift. Atleast we had this moment and it was properly moving around. So grateful but so scared about the NIPT results this week - hopefully should know by friday. Nothing i can do now but wait.

@pagey23 this was actually an unexpected pregnancy - i actually didn't start the pred or progesterone will about 4 weeks, so 14DPO. Usually i started it on the day of ovulation. Thailand sounds amazing. Is Cycle day 1 good for intralipids? Have the nurses advised this?

@Hopeandfaith1990 how are you doing my love? whats the plan? when's your first scan? do you do intralipids?

@Figtree11 welcome my love, never a nice place to be, but we are a supportive bunch. Sounds like you are doing all the right tests and really hope it provides you with some answers and a plan going forward. It is hugely daunting but know you are not alone. x

Figtree11 · 17/11/2025 13:18

Hi ladies, I hope it’s ok for me to join. I recently had my fourth missed miscarriage & starting to look at immune testing. I’m a bit early to join the thread as not started yet, but have been feeling a bit on my own with it all & don’t know anyone dealing with this. I’m waiting on cytogenetic results of latest loss, but the third loss was genetically normal which makes me think something with immune issues is at play.

Today I had a private consultation with CRGH to enquire about nk cells & Alice/emma biopsy test as feel like there’s not much more the nhs can do to help me. I know lots are seen by CRP but I felt like I wanted the Alice/emma test too. Not sure they do that? Feeling very overwhelmed with all the decisions there is to make & wish there was just a magic pill to take

Thank you @pagey23🥰 so when TTC naturally I’d confirm ovulation with temping after recording 3 high temperatures. Then id start the meds (Pred etc) at 3DPO. With an IVF transfer, I started 5 days before the transfer. I know, this thread is so epic it could be a book haha. It’s amazing that it’s tracked so many journeys across literal years.

Sooo amazing that you’re off to Thailand, I’m very jealous. I’m glad you’ve been written off work, I have to regularly tell myself my baby is more important than work and it sounds so obvious when you do, but I get some wrapped up in and lost in the stress of work sometimes. SO when you’re back sounds perfect - hopefully it won’t be needed though!!

pagey23 · 16/11/2025 19:01

Congrats to you @Hopeandfaith1990and to @Jecca88for reaching the 10 week mark!! Amazing stuff!!! Please keep us posted!! A question - did you both start your meds after ovulation or at 3 DPO like others have been discussing?

sorry im a bit rubbish with writing in this chain and keeping up with you all.. I think it’s because I’m new to this thread. I think I need to have a book and take notes 🤣🤣🤣 anyway I’m reading all your posts regularly and rooting for you all!! 😆

A huge amount has been happening on my side - cut a long story I’m now at the 3 year mark with 2 miscarriages under my belt and 8 cycles with CRP with no luck at all. Still haven’t done super ovulation yet as I’ve been travelling a lot with work - so much so that the GP has written me off work for burn out. I’ve been off for a week and really think stress is stopping me from falling pregnant! I go to Thailand on Friday for our honeymoon which will be day 1 of cycle 9 so hoping to get my intralipid that day before I jet off (such annoying timing for day 1). Feel a bit weird about it as we went to Thailand exactly 2 years ago to the day and that was the first time I fell pregnant. Trying not to put pressure on the trip and focus on relaxing! I’m tempted to continue my fit note when I’m back from hols so I get a full cycle with no work and see if it works… GP is totally on my side! If that fails then I’m going down the SO route!

hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday and relaxing with your feet up 😄

Ahhh you're all so wonderful thank you my angels. I truly feel the support in this group and its amazing.

@Jecca88 10 weeks wow!! You've done sooo well, do send any tips you have re the anxiety etc haha. Although I know we are all just anxious wrecks 24/7.

@SWMum9 thank you. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, we are rooting for you so much. Do you think you'll stay off the hydroxy?

@Deerdancer34 thanks so much lovely. Totally agree with wanting people to know but also predicting/knowing most people usually say the wrong thing. Its such a hard predicament.

Oh @Hopeandfaith1990 my love - wonderful news and just what I needed to hear today. It’s such an anxious time, we have all be through so much so please be kind to yourself. Each day ❤️

I’m 10 weeks today! it has DRAGGED!

thanks @Deerdancer34 I totally get that. I also am battling thinking I should just be honest with people - and not be a shameful topic, but it’s actually the responses. Need to protect my energy x

Deerdancer34 · 16/11/2025 15:54

@Jecca88 Good Luck for Tuesday!!
Fertility is just a horrible conversation to have with anyone, they just cannot understand. I found it hard because I didn't want to talk about it but I also kinda wanted them to know how crap it is what I was going through. In the end I found it easier to stay quiet and I turned to here, where people actually understand the devastation you go through...

@Hopeandfaith1990 Oh my goodness I could cry!!! I am keeping everything so crossed for you 🙏 🙏 🙏 I'm so hoping this is your time!

Lots of love to all 💓

Hey all, I’m incredibly anxious but we’ve tested positive ✨💕🥹 I’m 8dp5dt. Got the first positive yesterday but wanted to make sure it wasn’t the trigger remaining in my system so wanted to see it hopefully darker today, which it was 🙏🏻 very grateful.

Trying to take each minute / hour / day as it comes.

@TammyinCork Spain sounds like a good choice, it seems so much cheaper and efficient abroad haha. If my job wasn’t so rigid with days off etc I think we would have considered going abroad for it. Great news on your thyroid results. I also find a good quality iron supplement helps my stay stable. My mum has thyroid disease so I’m always getting mine checked.

@Jecca88 how are you ? How many weeks are you now? Sending love.

how is everyone? @SWMum9 thinking of you.

This is amazing news!! So so happy for you. Keeping everything crossed.

I’m okay thank you. First couple of days were rough thinking that this will just never happen but I’m feeling better now and trying to remain optimistic x
