@SunnyFlover @Kiza @lozzlepop @MIW01 @Anny27

Hey ladies! Havent caught up on the thread yet so sorry if I missed any messages!

@MIW01 yes definitley it will be clarification as the gynae doctors are obviously specialised and will know more than the GPs on the specific issues. I know the stress! Hopefully they get back to you soon!

@whatsthecraic91 you know me always symptom spotting 😅😅 had some cramps last night at 5dpo so 🤞🤞 that's implantation. You?

@Lozzlepop thinking of you lovely xx

Sorry to hear about your knee issues @1990shopefulftm hope the physio helps

@whatsthecraic91 isn't it just! Nutrition is the main thing to focus on so well done for that. And thanks for asking.

Thanks for asking @Anny27

I have a 1cm uterine polyp which could be 'blocking' conception from happening so my GP has written to gynae to ask for their guidance on next steps. I'm hoping it will be a simple case of removing and that will 'clear the path' for future foetus and we can move on for the future! I've done some research (can't help myself) and they are associated with high oestrogen levels and I have low progesterone so it all makes sense! So even more motivation to shift the lbs and up my game with my nutrition plan! I've also started practicing EFT (accupressure) & reiki on myself to help my body heal. At this point I figure everything is worth a try!

Hi @whatsthecraic91 no sign of AF and I have resisted testing so far!

I'm feeling a bit cranky and bloated though so I guess we'll know one way or the other soon enough... testing tomorrow morning!

Crampy* not cranky lol!!

@MIW01 I’m off today so have just made myself a lovely salad for lunch 🙂 well it’s good to have a reason it’s not happening for you! Hopefully it’s just a matter of removing it then? How do you feel about the news?

@timswifey you have serious willpower well done! Can’t wait for you to test 😂 we need a BFP on here!! 🤞🏼

@Anny27 didn’t see your post sorry! I’m the same I had cramping last night, some this morning and not I’m a bit twingy like AF is coming. I’m 6dapp today and I keep thinking it’s too early for that? Or not I don’t know 😅 I’m convinced I’m going insane 😂

*now not not!

@timswifey hope it's the result you want!

@whatsthecraic91 I'm feeling really relieved actually. I was so worried when I got the call yesterday morning and I've just had this intuitive gut feeling that I have a blockage. I thought it would be my tubes but I think this might be it so I'm just focusing my energy on healing myself ready for whatever medical intervention I need but I think as long as there's nothing else (fingers crossed) this should resolve the issue and we will be good to go!

@whatsthecraic91 Will see what happens, we did sort of NTNP for a couple of months last year before I had to quit my previous job so I m not feeling that hopeful that cycle 2 is the one and that it may take time but at least I think I know roughly when I ovulate now if it isn't.

@MIW01, thank you. Having to go private so hoping they can help me out.

@MIW01 glad you got the info you needed and hope it's smooth sailing for you, nice to see another energy healer on here ☺️ I've been trying to do some past life regression to see if that's blocking me 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Lozzlepop really hope things happen naturally for you before your hospital appointment. Having had both interventions I would opt for medical again as it was quicker and less traumatic (for me anyway).
@orangeloo thanks, think there was a few of us who hoped for the Christmas miracle!

@timswifey good luck for tomorrow! Holding out for you 🤞🏼

@ValidUser sending you tons of well wishing and baby dust for next month when you start your IVF journey. Am I right in thinking you started this thread way way back?

I'm currently CD 7 on cycle 17, awaiting results of 2nd lots of bloods. DP has his 2nd SA to see if there's been any improvements and awaiting appointment for TV scan and will have HSG next cycle as missed it this month being on holiday.
Mixed feelings still, sometimes optimistic and focusing on life instead of a baby, others times worried that at age 39 I've missed my boat...

@whatsthecraic91 thats great that you got your bloods done today, I am the same I hate having blood taken I' m such a wuss!

@Anny27 thank you ❤️

@MIW01 sorry to hear that, I'm sure it wasn't the news you were expecting, when will you find out what the next steps are?

@timswifey I have everything crossed for you tomorrow!

@Kiza thanks thats really useful to know- I had such a bad reaction with the medication last time they said I probably wouldn't be allowed to take it again! How long will you need to wait for all the results?

So last night was rough- was in so much pain and cocodymol and a hot water bottle weren't helping! I feel that the worst of it has passed and am hopefully come Monday that I won't need any further treatment- also only a week on Monday until our first consultant appointment so I feel we are getting there! Looking forward to a weekend of doing nothing as I am drained, working from home on Monday and provisionally have Tuesday and Wednesday booked off but as I say hoping it doesn't come to that. Whats everyone got on this weekend?

@MIW01 I think it's good that you know what's going on now.

When do you find out the next steps?

Thank you @Kiza - looking forward to finding out one way or another! Lots of little cramps today so I'll know what's going on soon I'm sure.

@Lozzlepop you poor thing. Maybe take those days off next week anyway?

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time @Lozzlepop not long until your appt now! Glad you get to take it easy this weekend. I've actually got a rare morning off tomorrow so I'm making the most of it by turning the alarms off!

Let us know how you get on @timswifey

That's interesting @Kiza not tried that before. I wonder if my energy has got blocked cause I spent so much of my life thinking I didn't want kids?! So now I need to refocus my energy and manifest a new reality. And I don't think you are too old at all especially with what can be done these days. Let us know how the appointments go.

They can't give me a timeline or any guidance at all cause this beyond their expertise so I think I'm going to capitalise on DP's Bupa and go private! If it's going to take another few months to sort itself out anyway we want to get it dealt with asap!

Ladies, I'm shaking!!!

@timswifey whooohoooo congratulations lovely that's amazing news! How many dpo are you? I remember reading your thread that AF was late for you. So happy for you ☺️

@MIW01 yeah I believe we can block our own desires especially if we are holding onto fear or previous emotions. I'm booking in for a course of fertility hypnotherapy, as much as Accupuncture was great at regulating my cycles I think I'm holding onto fear of getting pregnant and that could be a blockage for me.

@timswifey yayyyyyyy!!!!!! We are well overdue a BFP on this thread. Congratulations lovely! Well worth the wait :D

P.s sue to your long cycle, when talking to the midwives probably best to let them know when you ovulated as they can better figure out due date otherwise you might get scanned 3 weeks before which might cause unnecessary stress about baby size

@MIW01 wow that's good that you are feeling positive about it. Its promissing that theres something they can do and your positive attitude will help you loads with conceiving after the blockage is removed 🙌🙌

@kiza are you seeing a consultant atm? Definitley not too old!

@whatsthecraic91 ahh I have fuller boobs today and a big temp rise. Its happened before when not pregnant si csnt get too excited Haha

@Lozzlepop have you passed the sac do you think yet? Ahh it's a horrible time xxx

@timswifey straight on to see if you had posted this morning!! What a great line!! I am so happy for you!! Congratulations!! I’ll drop in again later x

@timswifey massive congratulations there’s no doubting that bfp ❤️ What lovely news, so so pleased for you!

@MIW01 nothing better than not having to set an alarm, I’m still lying in bed! That sounds fab that you have the option to go private- I would deffo go for it!

@Anny27 I think it passed on Thursday night- think that’s why I was in so much pain. Just really hope that Monday brings good news, even the sonographer couldn't believe what we’ve been going through!

Going to go to my face little place for lunch today, it’s literally in the middle of nowhere but they do the best sandwiches and cakes! Hope everyone has a lovely day

@Lozzlepop @Anny27 yes we saw a consultant at the hospital mid December. I had to lie to my GP as when I went to my first GP after 6 months they said it has to be a year of trying despite me being older. We then moved house (coincidentally) and I lied to the new GP about how long we had been trying to ensure we got referred.
The consultant said she will wait until we have had all the tests and then book in for a second consultant on. If all tests come back ok we will then be referred for 1 cycle of IVF before I turn 40 in October.

@timswifey

Yay! Such wonderful news! And such a strong positive too.... congrats!

I have been popping back on here to find out and was keeping my fingers crossed for you... wishing you a H&H 9-months.

🤗

Any of you ladies knowledgeable on day 21 blood results. Just received my results letter and it says I had a level of 51 but after googling this makes no sense to me other than I ovulated? Wondering what a good level should be?

@Lozzlepop will be thinking of you on Monday for sure! Yep 4 miscarriages, especially in a year is certainly a lot to go through :( thays good that your consultant is soon!

@kiza definitley good that you pushed at the new GP! Do you have your tests upcoming then? I don't have any knowledge of progesterone levels sorry xx

@timswifey oh wow, what a line! Amazing news for you!

@Kiza yes day 21 blood results depend on amount of body fat/waist circumference but as a general rule ought to be over 30!

Hope you had a lovely lunch today @Lozzlepop

Thanks @Kiza and @Anny27 yeah it's weird, there's definitely an energetic shift since I found this out. I am continuing my EFT and reiki self healing stuff and the more I do, the better I feel and the easier it is to eat right and make better choices so 🤞

Aww thanks so much ladies! Have been working today so just catching up now - can't seem to concentrate on anything.

@Kiza love that you are trying hypnotherapy. I think I'm 16dpo

Yes @Anny27 I've been thinking the same. Would it be truly awful if I just said my last period was ten days after it actually was (so tell them it was 17th Dec rather than the 7th). I just have a feeling explaining that I was grieving might make it too complicated and they might just ignore me...?

Aww @whatsthecraic91 and @Lozzlepop 🥰 how was your lunch? I feel so lucky that I've not really had any nausea yet and food still appeals to me 😂

Thanks @KittieKath 💕 and @MIW01

I actually wish I'd tested yesterday as now have to wait til Monday to call the doctors.
