Been a while as the pred made me rotten ! Buuuuuut am 13+4 and allowed to taper off it over the next week and a bit!

Now to work out what is moon face and what is cake face........ hope the insomnia and jittery nerves go too....

Hi ladies! Sorry for the lack of messaging, I had a busy end of week battling ALL day nausea... which is also strangely a bit comforting. Still counting down to Wednesday's NHS scan and Thursday's Mr S scan.

How's life without the Pred, Just?

Good luck for the bfs Luna and Tee and Poppy! This is definitely your month! I just know it. I personally think a good, intense boink every other day does the trick ;). Look after your cha-cha-chas!

Sent my email to Seeking, can't wait to see you on the Bookface :)

[LunaB]

That is super comforting Amy!!! But also sorry you feel rough darling!! Wow so 6 week scan on Wed!!! Aaarrrrrrggggg exciting! I have a good feeling about this bean 😚

[Drttc]

Hi ladies! Currently away relaxing - have left DS with his grandparents overnight for the first time!

Seeking how was your scan? Xx

[JustLa]

Amy, the nausea has become a little worse since off pred! But it doesn't feel AS bad today so may have just been a withdrawal.
It's lovely waking up and not having to throw those bitter buggers down my neck- one less thing to worry about so yay.
Wednesday is the big day! How are you feeling other than the nausea?

Drttc, sounds lovely. Hope you're getting some quality DH time :)

[LunaB]

Just, Still shoving the other little buggers up your bum tho? 😝

[JustLa]

Up the front door Luna 😆 Yeah totally, 16 weeks is when I'm set to stop those 🙌🏼
I'm 15 weeks today!
Then it's just the sticky blood to be concerned about. If it works, it will be worth every drug laden stab, shove and swallow ⭐️

[LunaB]

Oh that's right, you're a front ender 😝 - yes babes it'll all be worth it 😚 15-weeks... WOW

[Tee4me]

What's the pros and cons back end vs front end?!

[JustLa]

Well, front is easier but it tends to (sorry to be graphic) mess your knickers up on the odd occasion :/ I've seen a few people mention it may get absorbed better in front, but idk about that.
Back door is less messy, but i just don't like the idea or feeling! Plus reminds me of nasty experience with pessaries.
So it's just personal preference :)

[LunaB]

I'll prob try both when the time comes...

Remind me Tee, you're testing Wednesday?

Take, what are you up to this month?

[PoppyJ1]

Lovely to hear from Drttc and Amy again! Glad you're both doing ok and Dr you're getting some couple time! Amy, sorry about the nausea but yeah it's a comforting sign! All the best for your scans!

I don't blame you, Just, for preferring to front end pessaries! So many awful things that can irritate the other end when pregnant 😖

[Kakaboo]

Hi ladies mind if I join? I have been silently stalking this group for a little while. Also under dr S. I can't tel you how much of a relief it is to read some of ur messsges and to know that others are going through the same thing as me. I am on the complex plan + fragmin and also super ovulation. I have high NK cells, sticky blood, the pa gene blood thing, thyroid, To be honest I'm happy with Dr S but all they seem to do is take my money 💰and it's always rushed it's annoying me lately. Someone mentioned they were waiting for an appointment with dr Queenby? She is lovely, really caring and basically similar treatment to Dr S only difference is she won't prescribe intalipids or progesterone.
Anyway Dr S rant over! 🤦🏽‍♀️
To cut a very long story short I've had a shit load of lossess and am just a bit fed up. So I thought I would come out of hiding and say hello ✋🏼. Would you mind if I joined the closed Facebook group?
P.S The comments about the fat hairy moon faces made me laugh so much- I could make a fortune in human hair extensions if I let that stuff grow! 🦁 😀
