Good luck ginfuzz!

Go sunshine!! Spot on timings, great news about your dH too.

I'm having a day of doubts... Need a reality check here!

Doubts as in lack of symptoms, will this one work out etc etc... I'm sure I'll be back to my positive self soon!

Ah Mascara, try to stay positive, all the tests have progressed as they should have and you've got the progesterone to help now. Do you feel any different? x

Chin up mascara I've got a good feeling about this one! Don't stress about symptoms, sickness could be just around the corner (I hope it's not).

Only 3 more days of pessaries for me!

Thanks all. I know you are all right, there's nothing I can do either way so ive just got to wait these next three weeks out (it's like the tww and some all over again)! Got to keep busy! Got a weekend away this week and then the xmas parties start [santa]

I feel normal sunshine aside the slight soreness. I'm still really cold (three blankets and pjs on and I'm still cold). My mum asked me if I'd had my thyroid checked as this is a common symptom apparently but that was all checked and fine before the BFP. Haven't told my dad so we talk in code on the phone

Ah Mrs, jealous. Bored of them already! Another 7 weeks seems a lifetime on them!

Mrs it took about 10 days for me to stop bleeding and then another 40 something days for my next AF to appear. LP was still the same though x

Mrs I felt the exact same way, I asked for it to be checked and she wouldn't. Hence why I begged for the progesterone this time. There is a trial going on called prism if you get pregnant again and they will trial you on progesterone or a placebo for up to 16 weeks. The only thing is you don't know which you get. Look it up. I emailed them before I got the progesterone and the trial is still open x

Mrs unsure hope you feel better soon. Sounds like you're having a rough time.

Mascara and out are always so optimistic you're allowed a day off ;)

My mum found out she was pregnant with me on Christmas Eve and I'm due AF on Boxing Day so who knows..l could be expecting a bundle of joy around my birthday!

But going to relax and enjoy a mulled wine or two over this next month.

Sunshine that's great news about your DH SA - what's the next step for you?

I have my second ultrasound scan booked next month to see if I still have fluid in my pelvis.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage Mrs and I hope you have lots of support at the moment. I am guessing that you are looking to ttc straight away again if possible, although I apologise if I have got this wrong and you aren't. I wanted to get pregnant as quickly as I could after my pregnancy and have just checked my stats in case they help you. I bled for only five days afterwards (but I did have an ERPC) and then I tested with ICs everyday and was still getting a BFP until day 26, when it was negative. It then took me a further 11 days to get a positive OPK and my LP was the same as normal.

Mascara, a weekend away sounds lovely

Ah Sunshine, would be lovely timing if you get your BFP on Boxing Day. If I'm not lucky this cycle my next AF should be due xmas eve. Now DH has had his SA and its all good, he's convinced it's going to happen naturally and its just a case of timing it perfectly I've got my day 21 bloods on thursday, I'm going to ask if they can do the bloods for sexual health screening too while the needles in (they probably won't can't, but it doesn't hurt to ask.)

Sunshine, did they give any reason before for the fluid in your pelvis? Also have you seen the psychic yet? Can't wait to hear about it x

No they didn't know why it was there, said it could be due to endo but the scan can't detect that so if it's still there this time they'll do further tests but if it's not there then it means my body absorbed it and the fluid could've been caused by a cyst or something (last scan showed no cysts).

Not yet seeing the medium next week. Ive never been to one before so quite excited.

Good luck with needles!

I have a long cycle Mrs. I used to be quite irregular but recently have had the same stats; I ovulate on day 22 of a 31 day cycle.

Today is day 30 for me and I got a BFN. Will keep testing though and hope AF stays away.

Hi all, just checking in to see how you all are!

Mrs just email them, let me know if you can't find the link. It's national but only done at certain hospitals so if you get a BFP again you would need to go to one of the EPUs at that hospital. There were plenty on the list. I know its hard to not to think of reasons for the mc but sadly 1 in 5 end this way and often without reason at all. That stat is quite high until the 8 week point where the risk reduces. I have every faith you will get your bfp again and not in 22 months time.

Sunshine12 hope you get that xmas bfp, what a lovely coincidence that would be.

Nothing to report here impatient...

Ah ginfuzz, fingers crossed it's just early days x

Mrs I ovulated day 20 on a 28 day cycle x

Mrsunsure, I ovulate around day 12/13 with 23 day cycle. When I had my appointment with the Dr I did mention this but as my cycles have always been this way she didn't see it as an issue. Bloods tomorrow

Good luck sunshine x be brave it will be over in seconds

Thanks Mascara, i keep reminding myself of what you said before 'eyes on the prize.' x

Last cycle I ovulated on day 42 of a 55 day cycle!

Good luck for tomorrow Sunshine. I have my gynae appointment in the morning

Wishing you lots of luck too Shary, let us know how you get on x
