@SunnyFlover @Kiza @lozzlepop @MIW01 @Anny27

@Anny27 going to go to the GP in the new year if nothing happens before then. I’m really worried about going as I have just changed GPs from the one I have been with my whole life as I moved house, no idea what to expect 🙁

Ladies please help I am freaking out! Just back from Vienna and we have our appointment in 2 weeks and I’ve got a BFP- what do I do? Spent the whole morning crying - I’m in bits

@lozzlepop OMG 😮 is this your first appointment? Will they be running tests or is it just an initial consultation?

@Lozzlepop that's great news isn't it?! ♥️ congratulations on your positive! I'm sure you'll be in shock xx

Oh @Lozzlepop ! Sod and his bloody law! I would just keep testing just in case and if still BFP 48 hours before you'll have to call and tell them. Sorry that's probably not very helpful but best I can think of atm.

@Lozzlepop what to do you ask...? Jump for joy! Congratulations lovely!!!

Ladies, my af arrived ... so it seems 2 months in a row at 10DPO. Shot Lutheal phase? What to do to prolong it? I am worried that this will affect my chances of getting pregnant. Been off the pill for 3 months now, 2 months trying to conceive. I get faint positives around 6/7 DPO and then period arrives at 10/11 DPO

@whatsthecraic91 I really don’t know- I think she said they might do some bloods! I’m not sure if I call and explain we’ll still get seen or if it’s just a no?

@zeeeex well no...... we’ve been waiting 16 weeks on an appointment to the recurrent miscarriage clinic so now I’ve totally screwed everything up 😞

@Lozzlepop I would definitely not cancel it yet and do as @MIW01 and just see how it plays out. Fingers crossed this little one sticks for you 🤞🏼 ❤️

@SunnyFlover sorry to hear you’re out this month! I’m due Sunday - Tuesday and I’m willing AF to stay away!

@lozzlepop ahh that's really exciting and obviously not the best timing ith your appointment but perhaps it is......hopefully they can work around it and help keep this little one stick!!! They can check your hormone levels and what not.

Congratulations, really pleased for you but understand your anxieties xxxx

@Jadey31 welcome to the group, as @Lottiepink mentioned it appears only 1 of your opk looked close to a peak reading.
Here's a photo of mine the last 3 days, as you can see only the middle one is a peak reading, the other 2 are just highs so I wouldn't interpret them as peak.

@Lozzlepop sorry I missed your post but congratulations! Completely understand your feelings, am I right in thinking your appointment was for reoccurring mc?
If it was me I'd keep the appointment but phone up 2-3 days before explaining the situation that this BFP cannot be guaranteed that it will stick and you'd still like to keep the appointment just in case as initial appointments are discussions anyway. They wouldn't be doing any tests during your first appointment but instead taking history and potentially booking for future tests.

No ultrasound appointments until January! Going to be tearing my hair out! and worried they're cutting it fine because I need to be referred and seen before my 35th birthday in September and there are looooooooong waiting lists!

@MIW01 what the ultrasound for? That's a shame you have to wait till Jan!

Is this referral for fertility treatment before you are 35?

@MIW01 do you mind me asking why it has to be before you're 35?

Ah starting to get a wee bit crampy on and off now 😓 let the knicker checking at 5 second intervals commence 🙁

Hello @Anny27 and @Kiza in our area they wont find any fertility treatments if the woman is over 35 and as part of the referral process I need to have all the blood tests and ultrasound first before they will refer me.

@SunnyFlover sorry to hear AF arrived

@MIW01 wow that's shocking! Where do you live?

@MIW01 what!! I thought most women were eligible for treatment into their early forties 😲

Evening ladies!

Thank you all for the kind words- I just can’t believe my luck! I have my work Xmas party on Friday and then we have my parents over for Xmas and had plans to go out on my bday 🙈

@MIW01 I’m going to give them a call next week and see if they will still see me- no harm in asking! That’s so rubbish about your referral- can you kick up a fuss and get an ultrasound sooner?

@SunnyFlover sorry to hear AF arrived, it can take a few months for your cycle to settle down after coming off the pill- our bodies are weird which I know full well after OV on day 19 onwards apart from this month where it was day 14 (I think)

@whatsthecraic91 thanks lovely! Not really feeling any symptoms yet apart from being mega tired so fingers crossed that this bean does stick! How’s things with you?

@Anny27 thank you- I really hope so, our appointment falls at the 6 week mark where we have had issues the last 2 times so it would be good if we can keep the appointment 🤞🏻How’s the first week back at work been?

@Kiza thanks for the advice I think I’m going to call them next week or the start of the week after and see what they suggest! Luckily I have quiet a few days off coming up then the Xmas break so I will be able to relax and take it easy for a lot of December!

What have I missed? I didn’t have any internet access in Vienna unfortunately but I think I have missed the arrival of a few new faces, welcome to the group ☺️ Hope everyone has a lovely weekend planned?

@MIW01 ahh that's frustrating! I knew that over 35 if you already have a child in my area they are less likely to do tests but I thought first time mums wasnt limited. You still have nearly 9 months to be referred so fingers crossed :)

@Lozzlepop how are you feeling about it all now its had a chance to sink in? A little miracle! First week back in work was okay actually, a few nosey questions but I managed to say "I don't want to go into it but all is good now" haha

@Kiza are you now in TWW?

@whatsthecraic91 sorry about BFN lovely :(

What's everyone doing this weekend?
I live in South East and today is the first day that its really felt like winter! Cars all iced over and frosty. Think a cozy day in sorting out the mess of a house that my poor DH has been looking after whilst I made mounds of mess from the sofa the last month 😂

Morning!

@Anny27 I am feeling better now that I’ve had some time to process- was just having a bit of a meltdown yesterday 😂 I was the same, not many people at work know apart from 2/3 people. It’s super cold here too, it’s minus 4 this morning 😭😭 everything is frosty and the bloody cat is crying to get out 😂 No plans here yet this weekend but will probably go for a wintery walk somewhere ☺️

@Lozzlepop sounds so Christmas'y where you are! Where do you live if you don't mind me asking?
Where we are it's +15 at Christmas and the only Christmas trees we can find are plastic ! 😕 Oh I do hope it's only the time matter before the cycle settles, but we want this baby so much, so tough to wait... I was thinking maybe to try acupuncture? Read that it helps to kick back the cycle back into the order.

I am sure I read here before, that someone tried acupuncture, did it work?

@Anny27 been off work for a week, so travelling back from Paris today and bracing myself for the next working week... I hear there was some restructure / changes back at work ( as always when I am not there..!), so it already sounds like a "fun" thing to go back to.

@SunnyFlover we are in Dunfermline which is just across the bridge from Edinburgh, what about you? I had a friend who wasn’t actually ovulating but acupuncture kicked everything back into gear for her and she’s now got 3 little ones, I would do your research on someone who specialises in fertility ☺️ It is difficult when you know how much you want something ❤️

Hi all!

Tested this morning with 2 IC as I was sure I could see a faint line - obviously not 🤣! 12DPO today, had cramps yesterday on and off but none today so far, had a wee bit of pinky CM when I went to the loo there so don’t know if that’s a good sign or not 😒 Also keep getting shooting pains in my boobs randomly, I am driving myself insane this month!

@lozzlepop that's really exciting for you both and I reaaaaaaaally hope that this little one sticks. Also I was thinking that your first due date is round the corner and so this will hopefully lessen the emotions surrounding that day 💓

@SunnyFlover hopefully works not changed too much....I hate a restructure/switch around haha!

@whatsthecraic91 how about test with a frer tomorrow? Not had much experience with tinged cm apart from 1 day spotting before af

I cant believe how much energy I have today 😂 since about september when I became pregnant to now I have felt so lazy but I have been buzzing around the house like a fly sorting things today haha!!
