@PrettyTulip @Missgoldilocks Thanks girls 😘 xx

Annny27 · 06/05/2020 16:08

@gem7s I think its fair enough you don't want your son to see what you are going through. And when the bleeding gets really bad its quite messy (sorry for tmi!) And probably not nice for your 12 year old to see.

Has the bleeding ramped up?

@Missgoldilocks @PrettyTulip I am on cd9 and had some ewcm so I reckon ovulation a few days away

Gems7 · 06/05/2020 16:29

@Annny27 no, I haven't bled all day so far, no pain either, nothings happening.
Good luck for this cycle girls xx

Annny27 · 07/05/2020 10:22

ahhh sounds like you might have to call the EPU then :( @Gems7

Let us know what they say

Gems7 · 07/05/2020 11:37

I spoke with them, it's just as I thought really, a waiting game. They will call me on Monday and if nothing has happened by then they will scan me on Tuesday and discuss options with me (likely further tablets as covid ruled out surgery when I went earlier this week) so all I can do is wait.
Me and OH wanted to go for a nice long walk this afternoon but I'm scared to Incase it happens then. 2020 can literally sod off!! Xx

Annny27 · 07/05/2020 11:55

I had tablets that I had to insert into my vagina as opposed to dissolving under your tongue. They might try those next? @Gems7

Laur89 · 08/05/2020 10:35

How are you feeling @Gems7?

Gems7 · 08/05/2020 11:58

@Laur89 Hi huni, I am a little fed up this morning, had a good cry on OH. My boobs are killing and I have lots of pregnancy nausea and just generally feel drained. It's strange because right now I am praying that my body wakes the hell up right now and releases something that I desperately wanted and longed for. But I just want to draw a line under it all and move on.
Doesn't help that because of Covid we can't even go anywhere or do anything to take our minds off things for a while, a meal out, cinema trip, anything. Stuck staring at the same walls with the same thoughts over and over.
Sorry for moaning. Thank-You for keeping me in your thoughts, I hope you are okay and that little one is coming along nicely 😊 are you going to find out the gender? Is it your first? I can't remember.. xxx

Missgoldilocks · 08/05/2020 15:21

@Gems7 sorry to hear all of this hun honestly it's just heartbreaking for you xx completely understand that you just want to draw a line under it, I would too we all would... Is there no movement yet on bleeding or passing anything?? The doc told you to ring on Monday is that right? Is there anyway you can bring that forward? God I'm so sorry 🙏 it's just awful I have no words 😩🤗🤗🤗 xxx

Gems7 · 08/05/2020 15:43

@Missgoldilocks they won't do anything until 7 days after taking the tablets (I'm getting the impression that different nhs trusts do different things) they will call me on Monday and if nothing has happened then they will scan me on Tuesday and talk to me about the "options."
I'll be okay when it's all done and I can move on, it's surprising how common miscarriages are, I've never looked into it before now. It's just the waiting because of covid that's hard. Really hating my body right now, feel like it's failing me at every turn. I have had a tiny bit of spotting today so clinging on to the hope that something is going to happen soon.
Hope all you girls are okay and enjoying the sunshine xxx

Missgoldilocks · 08/05/2020 18:39

@Gems7 ahh 🤗🤗 I hope it resolves for you soon. The sunshine is lovely yeah I tried to enooy it best I could on a bike ride with my son. Trying to get really healthy now, counting calories and cutting out all the treats. Going to really focus on losing weight and hope to help with getting pregnant, I've put on near on 3 stone over the past 2 years of just being lax with my diet and still working out! Need to sort my life out again lol x

Annny27 · 08/05/2020 18:44

@Gems7 hopefully it happens naturally now and you won't need any further intervention. It sucks the waiting! It was 3 weeks from when I found out that baby had died before I had the medication and I was still feeling as pregnant as ever 😪😪

@missgoldilocks is it nearly fertile week? I think I got a nearly peak opk today so tomorrow will probably be my peak and then ovulate on Sunday I reckon

Missgoldilocks · 08/05/2020 20:03

@anny27 nice! You're this week Sunday and I'm next week Sunday ovulating. I'm excited all over again but scared too, I was just watching Ttc videos on YouTube but it's stressing me out again thinking maybe it's going to take years to have a baby 😩 haha its constantly up and down Ttc honestly. I'm holding onto the fact that I'm on cycle 10 and maybe within the next 3 months we will get pregnant as per the healthy guidelines. If I don't I feel like that's when the real stress will set in thinking there's an underlying issue...

How are you feeling? Will you be doing anything different this month, did you say you're doing SMEP? Xx

Laur89 · 08/05/2020 20:35

Aww @Gems7 I'm so sorry you're having to go through this 😔 it's such a difficult time with the virus, as you said we can't just go out and do something different to distract ourselves! Oh don't be sorry for moaning, we're all here for you ☺️
Yeah we will be finding out the gender, it's not until middle of June though which is ages away! This will be my second, DS is 21 months now :)

Gems7 · 09/05/2020 10:35

@Laur89 Have you not been tempted to send your scan photo off to one of these nub theory places? I don't think I'd be able to stop myself.
@Annny27 3 weeks... how the heck did you keep sane!?!
@Missgoldilocks I've put a stone on in the last few months 🤮 I'm usually a very small 12 but probably into a 14 at the moment although I'm living in my pajamas. I am definitely joining you with the weight loss mission! So easy to put weight on isn't it, for me especially when I'm stressed or sad xx

Annny27 · 10/05/2020 09:46

Morning ladies - I think I have ovulated now so 1dpo. Another tww begins 🙈🙄😬

@gems7 yeah it was horrible just knowing the baby was gone but still inside me for so long!! Any more progress?

@laur89 ooh only a month until you find out if you are team pink or team blue 🥰

@Missgoldilocks we dtd for every day 3 days before ovulation and on ovulation this time. Not really planned but thats just how it worked out. So hopefully it has done the trick.

I am also listening to fertility affirmations on YouTube "fertility from the soul" is the channel and she does 10 min videos to listen to at each week of your cycle which might help me relax!

Missgoldilocks · 10/05/2020 21:56

@anny27 good luck!! ❤️ Sounds like you've covered bases. I'll be in fertile week end of this week, hopefully we both have some luck.

@Gems7 hope you're OK xx

Annny27 · 12/05/2020 08:47

@Missgoldilocks fertile week time now for you :D

@Gems7 how are things progressing?

Gems7 · 12/05/2020 08:55

@Annny27 still the same, still only spotting and no pain or clots or anything (honestly I've been spotting for that long now I think I will cry happy tears on the day that it stops)
I'm just getting ready to go to the hospital for a scan and then more tablets after it. Really wish a D&C was an option, bloody corona has a lot to answer for. So I'm a bit anxious and scared because I know what's coming and omg the pain is so bad isn't it, but I also really hope they work this time because I just want this to be over.
Fingers crossed!
Good luck for this cycle, we need some good news from you, @Missgoldilocks and @PrettyTulip now!! Xxx

Laur89 · 12/05/2020 12:32

Hope you're ok @Gems7 ❤️
How's the TWW @Annny27?
@Missgoldilocks any sign of ovulation?

Missgoldilocks · 12/05/2020 19:09

@Laur89 @anny27 hey girls, how are you? Yesss I was going to start dtd from like Friday but honestly I've had so. Much ewcm. Today that we will start tonight through to Sunday lol?! Xx

@Gems7 ahh that's so shit I hope when you go back it gets sorted quickly for you xxxx

Gems7 · 12/05/2020 19:14

Had the tablets again, vaginally this time, had cramps all afternoon and lots more bleeding than last week so even that it's crap I'm hopeful that this time it will work xx

PrettyTulip · 12/05/2020 21:41

@Gems7 hello my lovely! I don't seem to be getting notifications from this page atm so I'm abit slow in joining in! Weirdly I've got the same symptoms as you but deffo didn't have a +tive test otherwise... fingers crossed the tablets work this time for you and you can try to move on and start the awful process of TTC again 😔

I've been spotting for 3 weeks, but in that time had 2 infections. Then I've just had (coming to the end) what I think is a proper period which I don't seem to have had since end of November... can anyone shed any light? It was practically nothing in the day/evening but in the morning so so so heavy? Anyone had this before? Xx

Gems7 · 13/05/2020 08:09

@PrettyTulip Thanks hun, I'm not sure they have worked again, I had pain and bleeding (worse than last week) but again only for a few hours and I haven't bled overnight at all. Sore boobs this morning and strong positive pregnancy test. I could literally scream and cry right now, I don't know what's going on 😞

With regards to your periods, I've never had periods that are so crazy like yours no. I had spotting before them, think the longest was 4 or 5 days before but usually more like 2 or 3. But I always knew when my period would arrive roughly (give or take a day or two) and that it would last 5 days.
I think you need to try some sort or herbal supplements and see if they help to regulate your periods. Your spotting for 3 weeks is probably the infections and maybe now you are experiencing your actual period.. I only used to have one day of heavy bleeding and the rest was light xx

Annny27 · 13/05/2020 21:43

@Gems7 those are probably the tablets that I had - was it 4 tablets that you had to try and get as close to cervix as possible? Sorry that its painful again :( do you think you have passed the sac now?

@PrettyTulip only time I have ever had missed periods was when I was 18 and I didn't have a period for 3 months. But I had just started uni, was super skinny and probably not eating enough nutrients haha! Sounds like your infections played havoc on your cycle. Fingers crossed its normalising now

@Missgoldilocks the ewcm is a good sign :D are you dtd every other day?
