Have you done a pregnancy test
DaisyMay25?

DaisyMay25 · 08/02/2018 12:35

@peachesarenom I have, always negative. I'm going to do one daily until Monday then go to the doctors and see what they say this time.

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 12:48

Oh DaisyMay25 it just so stressful. It has been 39 days since my mc and no AF! Are you thinking of phoning EPU?

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 12:48

Or GP?

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 12:51

Cakelaur and Hortonlovesahoo I have failed at bbt on day 1!!! I couldn't sleep all night so I was awake when the alarm went off this morning and I thought well that's messed up!

DaisyMay25 · 08/02/2018 12:51

@peachesarenom I have no idea what to do at all, I literally just want to cry all the time because my body is so broken. Not sure what the EPU can do or my doctor tbh. It's just so frustrating

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 13:09

DaisyMay25 It is so awful. I would defo be crying too. I wish I could give you a cuddle.

I've been trying to see the bigger picture for me, ultimately this will pass, it's important to feel the pain now but remember things will properly be back to normal soon. And we'll all have another go. It's ok to feel awful I made the mistake of being in denial at the start.

I hope the GP will be able to help in some way. Are you going to call today?

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 13:11

I'm here on my phone so you can talk if you want to. Have you had much sleep?

keepinghopeful · 08/02/2018 13:33

@DaisyMay25 aw u poor thing its horrible when we want our bodies to work what we think is the norm. After my m/c's i would have random cycles where spot for 5ish days brown however i would get a bit of a flow then for couple days. Why dont you get day 21 bloods done? This would show if ovulating so you could rule that in or out?

DaisyMay25 · 08/02/2018 13:45

@peachesarenom I'm hoping the next AF is normal so at least I know where I stand. Thank you for replying, I'm just having a bit of a wobbler today hopefully I'll get some answers on Monday.
@keepinghopeful not sure they will do them for me because it's only been four months but I guess there's no harm in asking

Flameredbus · 08/02/2018 14:07

Hi ive just had my 72 hour bloods come back and they have dropped from 160 to 120 so it looks like my pregnancy is all but over 😑. Keeping strong and trying to look forward...

keepinghopeful · 08/02/2018 14:17

Ah @Flameredbus im so sorry 😪. How far along are you meant to be?

Flameredbus · 08/02/2018 14:20

Just 4+4 today

Flameredbus · 08/02/2018 14:20

Its my second mc in a row so feeling a bit wounded tbh

keepinghopeful · 08/02/2018 14:28

I know how you feel, ive had 3 since last April, very deflated & to make matters worse couple of friends have announced their pregnancies... 5wks, mmc 10 wks & just over 4wks the last one. How far did u get last time?

Flameredbus · 08/02/2018 14:43

A blighted ovum was spotted at 7 weeks but took another 3 weeks to be fully diagnosed :-(

keepinghopeful · 08/02/2018 14:50

Take good care of yourself as everyone underestimates the pain caused even with an early loss 💗

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 14:54

You're welcome DaisyMay25 I'm sorry I didn't really know what to say.

I'm sorry Flameredbus 2 in a row, that's really hard.

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 15:02

Has anyone read 'It Starts with the Egg'???

Flameredbus · 08/02/2018 15:07

I have have you? What did you think?

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 15:14

Flameredbus no I haven't. I was thinking about buying it though. Would you recommend it? Did you read it before TTC?

Flameredbus · 08/02/2018 15:18

I found some bits useful and other bits (such as plastic use in the home) just so difficult to implement. Worth a purchase though, it is reasonably priced on amazon i think...

Flameredbus · 08/02/2018 15:20

So after 2mc do you think i should see my GP beforw TTC again? Thing is we have already had IVF so i am not sure what more advice anyone can give us. I have read about 5mg folic acid though so wondered if it was worth discussing that with them. Does anyone take baby aspirin? I stopped once i had my positive test but wondering whether i should have continued

peachesarenom · 08/02/2018 15:34

Flameredbus thanks! I think all they can do is suggest supplements.

keepinghopeful · 08/02/2018 15:39

@Flameredbus you could try & see what they say. They wouldnt do anythin for me & i thought they would as im 35, wasnt until the 3 they took seriously & currently undergoing investigations
