Does anyone want to join?

I have been TTC #1 for 15 months and had a MC at 8 weeks in February.
I am off to the GP tomorrow to try and get a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist.
Tried every trick and tip and old wives tale in the book to get a bfp!
It would be good to have a group of longer term ttcers to chat to.

5 more long-assed day's til ur Beta HCG 😫
Surely Ul be testing urself before then?!
It's absolutely impossible not to symptom spot, so please don't be hard on urself!

I am so scared to let myself feel hopeful. I'd usually start spotting or have AF by 10dpo and my boobs wouldn't be sore anymore, and even my temp would drop despite being on progesterone. But none of these things are happening, and my boobs are still sore, I didn't even have to squish them this morning. Today is 11dpo.

@KatBeCool I am soooo hoping you get that BFP!! Good luck. When are you testing?

KatBeCool · 31/08/2019 02:19

@FlapJackered @Mrs71 I'm going to persuade myself to wait until Sunday. I have only one frer and one last IC. I want to test tomorrow so bad though.

@FlapJackered bfn. Had some spotting yesterday and today temp dropped to cover line. I'll still go for Beta on Tuesday but all my hope is gone.

@KatBeCool I am so sorry lovely. Have you spoken to the clinic yet? X

KatBeCool · 01/09/2019 17:33

@FlapJackered they'll just say to come in on Tuesday for the test. They won't consider dropping temps and so far the spotting was just one "spot" and rest are barely visible or not even present.

@KatBeCool I don't want to give you false hope but I did get spotting and a temp dip when I got pregnant. Hopefully your temp will jump back up tomorrow. X

Oh @KatBeCool this is horrible - the wait!
I dunno how u have the will power not to use that FRER! You're a tough cookie x

Broodyaf · 01/09/2019 19:09

So ladies...

We have done SO much research since coming home from our NHS appt in Wednesday, and we've decided to cancel the private consul in Dublin and go to Reprofit Brno instead!!!

starkid · 01/09/2019 20:31

AF arrived bang on schedule for me today... hey, at least the cycle days match up with the date this cycle (sigh)

KatBeCool · 01/09/2019 20:55

@Broodyaf I used the frer yesterday and it was bfn.
When are you going to Reprofit? Will you do ivf right away? That's so exciting!

KatBeCool · 01/09/2019 20:55

@starkid I'm sorry about AF :(

Broodyaf · 01/09/2019 20:59

Ah @KatBeCool I'm sorry to hear that - i must have missed that msg. Ur not out til the witch arrives!

We have medical form/questionnaire sent off yday so hopefully they'll get in contact with us tomoro or Tuesday.
Depends on what they suggest but I would imagine it will be IVF although a few people have suggested the mini ivf which is cheaper, less invasive on ur body but still good success rate?!

KatBeCool · 01/09/2019 21:12

@Broodyaf I heard about mini ivf. If your numbers are good, like amh, mini might be good choice as you will need less preparation and meds.

Broodyaf · 01/09/2019 21:54

I haven't got the results back off my AMH back yet but I'm expecting it to be good as the transvaginal exam showed at least 15-17 follicles on each ovary.

I haven't had my TSH done - no one asked for it but I think Reprofit will want it

They ask for the day 1-3 bloods for
FSH
LH
TSH
Prolactin
AMH

I have FAH, LH & prolactin from 21day bloods,
GP told me AMH can be taken at any time in the cycle - so I wonder will they accept all these or will I have to pay to get all done again in a certain day? As well as another transvaginal exam exactly 1/2 way through my cycle - I have only that's 1 day out but it's with the NHS fertility clinic so I don't know if she'd give me a copy of it!

Mrs71 · 01/09/2019 22:12

@KatBeCool sorry to hear that!!

@Broodyaf that is so exciting! I have heard really good things about them.

@starkid so sorry to hear about AF. There is something deeply satisfying about the holy grail of cycle days and days of the month matching. 😂

I have been getting quite a bit of pain where my left ovary is but the cyst is meant to be on the right. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I am going to complain to the clinic tomorrow and hope they might bring my op forward.
