Hey everyone, aw dizzy that's rubbish but also good they can squeeze you in.

I had the scans done on Sunday and my doctor called this evening, they've found some polyps and I have to have the scans done again next week. After that I'll be sent to gyne to have them removed.

I'm feeling pretty miserable, my GP said it's unlikely I'll be able to get pregnant until it's sorted, and it's possible the last bleed was a MC. I'm happy there is a reason, but I'm really upset/scared. I'm sure it will all be ok.

Borisisback · 01/09/2016 07:18

Frecklepops I'm so sorry - that's tough news. I was told I had a couple of polyps too (that actually turned out to be ok) but it was hard getting that news. I hope they can sort them out quickly.

Dizzy - annoying re the scan. But like you say .... it'll work out...

As for me, no news - I'm trying to get the energy to go to work, why are some mornings so much harder than others?

DizzyNorthernBird · 01/09/2016 09:43

boris I hope you managed to get to work ok! When will you finish?

genghis I hope you enjoyed your dinner lol.

freckles just focus on the fact that you do have a reason now. Hopefully you'll get them sorted soon and have a quick recovery. Then you should be clear for a bfp!

dizzym how's things with you?

I'm looking forward to the weekend. Off down to Cornwall on Friday eve.

I'm currently crashed on sofa. I did a body pump class on Tuesday, my first one in years. Now my whole body aches!

MagpieCursedTea · 01/09/2016 12:15

DizzyN that sounds very frustrating! Glad they'll be able to squeeze you in for the next cycle though. Hope you have a fab time in Cornwall!

Boris mornings should be banned! Hope you got to work okay.

Freckle sorry to hear that, I hope the next scan goes well and they're able to remove the polyps quickly.

Genghis hope you managed to find something tasty for dinner, that can be harder than it should be at times!

Rainy I used OPKs when I was on clomid but never had much luck with them (I think I was maybe doing it at the wrong time of day?) I just made sure we DTD as much as possible!

Kellz92 · 03/09/2016 20:34

Hi ladies how are you all keeping. I news to catch up. Just back from my holiday which was what I needed to de-stress x

GenghisKahnSchmitz · 06/09/2016 02:42

Welcome back Kellz I hope you had a lovely holiday!

Sorry to read about the polyps Freckle. Hopefully they will be able to remove them soon. Good luck with the scan.

DizzyN I hope you enjoyed Cornwall? I've never been but always wanted to visit. I hope you recovered from bodypump..are you still running?

Boris I hope you're okay, and managed to make it to work!

Magpie I hope all is well with you?

Still no news from me, though the dinner decision was sorted :) I'm currently doing my driving licence over here (only ever had my provisional - silly me) and am losing the will to live doing all the theory work. Zzzz.

Thanks Genghis how are you keeping?

Good luck with the driving I hated lessons but dad pushed me but glad he did.

Found out I'm having a girl :) hoping she stops causing hassle x

frecklepops · 07/09/2016 08:29

Thanks everyone, I'm booked in for the scans to be redone this Sunday. I'm sure it will work out in the end

Hope every one is well xx

Kellz92 · 08/09/2016 14:47

hope the scan goes well hun xx

DizzyNorthernBird · 08/09/2016 17:51

Hi all

genghis yes I'm still running but not as much lately as I've not booked any events for the rest of the year. Will plan to do my usual Spring half marathon so until training starts I'm going to mix things up a bit with classes and swimming. Hope you're getting through your study. It's a drag but worth it in the end.

magpie had a lovely time but it rained the whole time lol. Went to Eden project which was really cool but busy!

kellz another girl! Is that what you wAnted?

freckle good luck for Sunday!

I've got my 'cd3' bloods tomorrow and I've managed to get them to squeeze me in for my hsg next Wednesday! Nothing is going to stop me this time, I shall squirt the dye up there myself if I have to!! Grin After that I just need one more cd27 blood test then it'll be a case of waiting for my next gynae appointment on 18th oct for the results. It'll come around quickly enough I suppose. I better start thinking about whether I'm prepared to go ahead with the laparoscopy though Confused

Borisisback · 08/09/2016 20:09

Kellz congrats.

Dizzyn sounds like progress for you - glad it's moving! Freckle you too great news on the scans.

Wave to everyone else!

Kellz92 · 09/09/2016 10:27

DizzyN Yeah thats what we wanted so we are over the moon, now id like her to stop making me poorly lol
I hope everything goes well, with bloods etc :)

Boris Thank you! how are you keeping?

xx

GenghisKahnSchmitz · 12/09/2016 02:13

Congratulations Kellz - what lovely news! I'm keeping well thanks - feel pretty woeful in the mornings and late at night but apart from that all is well.

Freckle how did your scan go?

Great news about the blood tests and hsg being so soon DizzyN. And then, just over a month until your appointment! Can I ask what is concerning you about the laparoscopy?

Thanks for the driving lessons encouragement - I feel pretty ridiculous about the whole thing but sure, hopefully I'll manage it. I'm the eldest in the mandatory theory classes by at least ten years so feel like the teacher :)

Hello to Rainy, Boris, Magpie and DizzyM!

Kellz92 · 12/09/2016 11:26

Thanks Genghis And im glad you're keeping well. How far on are you now?

MagpieCursedTea · 13/09/2016 18:33

DizzyN does that mean the hsg is tomorrow? Hope it all goes well! Did you get your CD3 blood test results?

Genghis hope the driving goes well! I'm sure it'll come in very handy in a few months!

Hope everyone else is keeping well! I'm doing okay, not loving the heat today. It's meant to be September!

Kellz92 · 14/09/2016 13:05

Magpie it's cold up here, you should move up north lol xx

MagpieCursedTea · 14/09/2016 14:04

I am in the north! It was still too hot for me yesterday Blush enjoying the cooler weather up here today, it's quite foggy where I am!

DizzyNorthernBird · 14/09/2016 17:53

I'm loving the heat magpie! What a glorious few days we've had! Apart from at my office which is just hot and sticky and awful. I went straight in the shower when I got home and I'm now in my garden wearing linen Smile

Yes the hsg was today! It wasn't too bad at all, slightly uncomfortable as apparently everything kept moving around (as its more flexible down there after AF. Apparently) so they had to put something extra in there to keep everything in place Confused. But it was nothing I couldn't handle. So apparently my womb looks normal and my tubes are clear. So now I just have to wait a few weeks to discuss what happens next.

genghis the thing that concerns me is that it just seems like a big deal and I might not be any further forward at the end of it. General anaesthetic, the associated risks, time off work afterwards.....and they might just tell me everything looks fine? Or not.......but anyway I suppose I'll see what the consultant suggests. Maybe my bloods will reveal a problem anyway.

So I'm relieved my tubes are clear but frustrated I haven't been given a 'reason' for all this yet. Have told DP we have to have a good few months with proper effort in the bedroom now, as we've not really tried for 3 cycles now. But if truth be told I'm starting to think if I'm no further forward by Xmas I might just call it a day....

DizzyNorthernBird · 14/09/2016 17:56

Oh magpie I won't get my blood test results until I go back to see the consultant in October. There'll be 2 X cd27 bloods and 1 X cd4. Got my last cd27 booked for the end of the month.

Rainy34 · 14/09/2016 21:41

Dizzy Glad you got your hsg done and everything has come back normal , i can totally understand that it is frustrating when there is no reason to it all, iv also prepared myself that if we have ivf next year and it does not work then to call it a day too,

hi gengis hope everything is all ok with you xx

hi to everyone else, hope everything is all ok with you all,
I am joining the gym again, started putting on the weight again so deciding to get back on it !!

Kellz92 · 15/09/2016 20:04

Magpie I'm 40 miles north of Aberdeen we had bad fog today but not much sun this week!!

Dizzy it's good news about your tubes being clear, but I hope you get somewhere with help as to why you haven't fallen yet. Try not give up though Hun, easier said than done when I gave up the month I fell.

Rainy, hope you're well. I'm going to need a gym next year. I'm barely moving so I'm going to need to tone xx

MagpieCursedTea · 16/09/2016 12:33

DizzyN glad the hsg didn't show any problems but completely understand your frustration. Hope you can get a plan in place for the next steps soon but in the mean time get DTD!

Rainy good luck with returning to the gym! At least the cooler weather should make it a bit more pleasant. How's things otherwise?

Kellz we have rain now. It makes me happy!

Rainy34 · 16/09/2016 15:49

kelz I'm good, looking forward to the gym, feel so bloated and flabby!! how are you?

magpie how are you? I'm good, had my parents down from Scotland for a few weeks which was lovely, going to start going on Clomid next month, started taking my folic acid, so will see if it helps!!

Kellz92 · 18/09/2016 19:09

Magpie, glad you're happy. It was really hot yesterday here but cooled down today!!

Rainy I'm good thank you! Hope you're enjoying the gym.

Hope everyone else is fine xx

Kellz92 · 18/09/2016 19:16
