Yeah I felt that too at first then it started truly kicking the out if me last week. Oh how I long for I just feel a bit queasy.

I felt great yesterday. Today I was dry heaving 5 or so times before I even managed breakfast.

Dickybow321 · 29/01/2019 14:55

Hi everyone, I had a blood test today and my HCG levels have gone down to 4, so back to normal. So thankfully not ectopic and no need for any nasty interventions. I had my suspicions because the bleeding stopped a few days ago, I got a flashing face smiley on CB this morning, then some EWCM, so looks like I'm getting ready to ovulate already. I'm hoping it's true that you're more fertile after a MC.

Sorry I haven't read the thread...I'm at work at the moment. . I'll catch up later tonight.

rytonsister · 29/01/2019 15:52

hobbes thank you that does help a great deal!

Chatbash72 · 29/01/2019 16:45

Ooh goodness too much to catch up on!!! Please forgive if I leave anyone out
@CritterTamer Glad you are home.. are you still working? Or can you take sick days?
@Karigan195 Great scan pic, I suffered really badly with hg when preg... dr said have ginger and get hubby to rub my feet... I didn't tell her where to go but got myself down to a&e and got admitted.. don't suffer if it gets too bad.
@Cleozeta Have no tips as never had one, but good luck x
@rytonsister Welcome and so sorry for your loss.. what a horrible position to be in.. xxxx you will get lots of supplements advice on here. I don't use the ubiquinol but co10, 220 per day.. I'm 46 but hubs and I are trying to just enjoy contraception free dtd through the month to take the stress out of the process..
@Dickybow321 Good news about levels and yes we kick out those eggs all over the place in our 40's.
hubs is very difficult to live with at mo, lots of family stress which I'm not sure helps.. but hey ho life keeps moving on..
Se ding lots of love to all xxx

Rose68 · 29/01/2019 20:29

@Dickbow123 thank goodness it wasn’t ectopic, I hope you are okay x

BooseysMom · 29/01/2019 21:24

@anaconda76.. thank you..He's better and trying to eat a little but was sick tonight so no school again tomorrow Sad

Critter.. Glad you are ok and back home. Take care x

@Rose68.. I totally understand how you feel about carrying on. I'm with you but just about hanging on. I just have made myself have the mindset that if it happens great but if it doesn't well there's not alot i can do about it. Wishing you luck whatever you decide x

Marty77 · 29/01/2019 21:33

Hi

I'm new and not technical so I apologise if I get it wrong and do t know all the abbreviations I'm 42 this year TTC

littlemimosa · 29/01/2019 23:45

Hi all, sorry I went awol for a week or so. Been in a strange mindset after AF hit 5 days ago. Coming out of the fog now and feeling a bit better.
So much to catch up on. Apologies if I don’t respond to everyone.

Let’s and Presh - how are u both after treatment?
Critter - what a time you’re having. But glad those bubbas are ok.
Cleo - I had an HSG (slightly different I think?) last March and it was fine. I took two ibuprofen beforehand so I’d definitely recommend some pain relief an hour before. Although to be honest I could’ve managed fine without. R u nervous?

littlemimosa · 29/01/2019 23:46

Dickybow didn’t want to forget u hun. Sorry it wasn’t good news but glad you’re ok and it wasn’t ectopic.

karryk · 30/01/2019 06:35

Welcome @Marty77 😊 you'll be up to speed with the abbreviations in no time Grin

Just a quick hello as I pass through...I'm finding I just need some time to myself and my thoughts at the mo, but I continue to wish all of you every bit of luck and baby dust Flowers ❤️ xx

Thanks for all the kind thoughts, everyone. I'm feeling back to normal and ready for this cycle!

I've started DP on Wellman Conception this past week and his libido has gone through the roof. It's a bit crazy. Has anybody else had this? Do your DPs take conception vits? The reviews on Amazon for Wellman are amazing, so thought we'd give it a try.

Glad the babies are ok Critter.
Hugs to all the ones suffering with morning sickness xx

Thank you @Dickybow123 and @anaconda76, I have corrected lii222. Hopefully that’s it for mistakes.
My DH is taking wellman conception, but I haven’t noticed any change in his sex drive, which tends to be through the roof anyway.

Thanks Karigan and Hobbes. I'm happy to see both of you are cooking those buns nicely 😊

@Cleozeta good luck for tomorrow x

Marty77 · 30/01/2019 20:22

Hi

Thanks @karryk I'm sure I'll pick it up just haven't used a site like this before, my DS is 14 and DD 9 so it's been a while.

DP and I (picking up the abbreviations Wink) have been TTC for about 4 months, I have friends who have just had babies and been fine and the same age as me but apart from them no one knows we are TTC.

DP is 47 and never had kids we dated when I was 20 and 3 years ago he got in touch and we've ended up back together it's been so right we'd be very happy.

Feeling a bit nauseous, tired, ratty and sore but it's so similar to your period you can't know it's doing my head in Confused

Dickybow321 · 30/01/2019 20:39

Yes good luck with the Hycosy Cleo
