We’ve had some beautiful success stories so hoping they continue.

@ceebee21 yes ok this side, 3dpo got a wedding next week so trying to lose a few pounds beforehand. I felt really nauseous this morning but sure it’s from ovulation. I’m even more eager this month to find out as if it’s not to be we are booking a holiday abroad. I know people go away for baby moons but I don’t think that would be for me. What cycle you on now? @MrsCl19 did you test with a frer?

@ceebee21 keeping my fingers crossed

@Jonesbabynumber1 I did and it's nice and clear, really put my mind to rest x

ceebee21 · 18/02/2020 09:09

@Jonesbabynumber1 well who knows!
1st Cycle got pregnant, but had MMC
then November 2nd Cycle
December 3rd Cycle - Chemical
January 4th Cycle
So this is the 5th?!

Jonesbabynumber1 · 18/02/2020 09:48

@MrsCl19 I bet that was lovely to see.

@ceebee21 I’m on cycle 6 had chemical first but that’s been it. No idea why nothing else has happened but will just keep on trying.

Morning everyone, hope your all ok. My af just finished, I'm 90% sure I had a chemical pregnancy just gone as had really faint lines on frers then negative day af due then af was 2 days late. It's confusing coz the lines were so faint and slightest bits of pink in patches but I did 2 from 2 different boxes and both the same so I dunno if it could be faulty tests or very early loss.
@Jonesbabynumber1 @ceebee21 when you had your CP did you tell the drs about it? Also did you feel ok hormonal wise after or did you feel abit out of whack if that makes sense.

Jonesbabynumber1 · 18/02/2020 20:14

@dizzy85 what you describe sounds identical to my CP I had so many symptoms my boobs were beyond painful so for me it was enough to think it was a chemical although I only got the patchy line. No haven’t said anything to be GP. I’m having my bloods checked for low iron again and if they low I’ll have to see GP so will bring it up then and to discuss what happens if nothing happens. Hope your ok

@Jonesbabynumber1 it's horrible isn't it. I also had a few symptoms too I didn't get my usual pre af spotting and I just felt weird and even said to my OH I actually feel pregnant not like the other months where I'd "think" I was pregnant but I had this gut feeling and then tested a few days later and then that. I think I'll mention it when I see my dr too. Oh I am anaemic too it's the worst I have to take iron every day their horrible.

MrsCl19 · 19/02/2020 05:35

@dizzy85 @Jonesbabynumber1 I'm low iron aswell... ferrous sulphate is my enemy 😩🤣

ceebee21 · 19/02/2020 10:42

@dizzy85 I told the doctors about my CP... I already had a DR appt booked in, and knowing you get referred after 3 MC's, that was classed as my second.

I had a very clear positive test though for a about 5 days before I started bleeding, so was definitely a CP.

The whole thing is pretty SH*T, just fed up with it now and I know people try for so much longer.

Jonesbabynumber1 · 19/02/2020 17:25

@dizzy85 @MrsCl19 that’s crazy how we are all low iron mine. Mine keep dropping then I get the tablets goes up and drops again. Have they given you a cause ? @ceebee21 yes that was a clear CP. I feel fine about it all at moment but that will change next week depending on outcome. I’m 5dpo it is going slow.

dizzy85 · 19/02/2020 19:30

@MrsCl19 @Jonesbabynumber1 ferrous sulphate are the worst aren't they, it is weird they've not given me a reason my dr said could be because of my periods which I find hard to believe as otherwise surely every woman would be anaemic, have they said why for you?

@ceebee21 it is really shit. I have a drs at the end of the month for something else so I'll mention it to him so he can log it coz that'll be my 2nd too now after the mmc aswell.
Have you ever had your hormones tested? I really want to get a full hormone test but the drs just aren't interested.

MrsCl19 · 19/02/2020 20:01

@Jonesbabynumber1 @dizzy85 I get the tablets and my levels stay up then I seem to get busy and run down and then they drop I've suffered since I was young but I'm not a massive red meat eater but do eat veg so guess I don't get much naturally... other than that no explanation

ceebee21 · 19/02/2020 20:27

Hi @dizzy85 definitely do, hopefully you don’t have Another, but at least if you do you will get referred.

After this last one I had a full blood count, but nothing else..I have an under active thyroid which I am convinced is causing my issues; I am on thyroxine and it is constantly being checked atm...just had a blood test today.

I got a private progesterone test which did seem a bit low tbh, but not ridiculously low to be too concerning.

I use medichecks, they’re really good xx

Tbug · 20/02/2020 10:13

Hey guys, hope you're all doing okay! I've decided to try again in a year or 2, as I needed to be pregnant by now to fit around my degree so I think I'm going to go to the docs just to rule out any reasons I haven't fallen pregnant. I hope you all get your positives and when you do, have the healthiest pregnancies and babies ❤️❤️❤️ wishing you all the world of happiness 😘😘

dizzy85 · 20/02/2020 15:55

@MrsCl19 I'm the same had it since I was young and on and off the iron tablets but it always up and down too it's such a pain it can really take it out of you sometimes can't it. How are you feeling with your bfp?
@ceebee21 I had enough today coz this last week or so I've been feeling terrible, emotionally up and down, headaches feeling sick and tired and no appetite so I managed to get a phone consultation with the dr and told him everything he said it's most likely my hormones trying to settle back down 😭 it's bad enough having the cp let alone having to wait to feel normal again after. He did say if it's not settled in 3-5 days come in for blood test. How did you find out about your thyroid problem did you have symptoms? I just feel like my whole system's out of balance.
I'll have a look into that medichecks coz I'm really curious if my progesterone is low too.

@Tbug aww Thankyou, I wish you lots of luck and fun times with doing your degree and when the time is right for you to try again I hope it happens first time, lots of happiness and baby dust for your future bfps too ❤️ take care xxx

MrsTtobe · 20/02/2020 16:22

Hi, hope you don't mind me dropping in but going mad not talking to anyone and don't want to tell my OH because he was so disappointed last month! ☹
Been ttc since Oct 19 so about 5 months but no luck so far. Last month I really felt 'pregnant' so took a test on day 28 of a usual 26 day ish cycle but was negative and came on the next day, cd 29. This month, we're on cd 28 again and I haven't even mentioned symptoms to OH through fear of getting his hopes up again but no signs of AF as yet, boobs are heavy but not sore, I've got terrible wind 🙈 Tmi! Sorry! I broke out in spots on my chin about 8 days ago which I never do usually.
Really want to talk to OH but he's really not great at hiding how gutted he is every month. 😥 Wish me luck ladies and sorry for essay... I feel better now 🤣

MrsCl19 · 20/02/2020 16:37

@dizzy85 it really is a nightmare! I'm feeling a lot better rang midwives Monday still waiting on a call back... just wanna get these first 12 weeks done!

@Tbug lots and lots of luck for tbf future x

@MrsTtobe sending baby dust! Will you test or wait to see if you come on? Do you track ovulation

MrsTtobe · 20/02/2020 16:48

@MrsCl19 thank you. I think I spoke to you last month. I remember we both came off pill at the same time. No I don't track ovulation because I think that would be no good for my anxiety, we just dtd every other day at least. Im exhausted 🤣
Im going to wait this time. Last month I was convinced and the first time I've taken a test since we've been ttc so it was horrible for me and OH so being patient this time. He has no idea of my cycle so that helps. Congratulations on your wonderful baby news ❤

MrsCl19 · 20/02/2020 17:53

@MrsTtobe I'm rubbish at remembering who I've spoken to 🤣

Good way to be! I have my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

And thank you!

MrsTtobe · 20/02/2020 18:33

Thank you will keep you up to date 🙏

MrsTtobe · 21/02/2020 11:47

@MrsCl19 so I popped out to get a test. I couldn't resist so did it about 5 minutes ago... and it's positive. 🙏❤ I'm crying and my OH hasn't got a clue. Every month we've been tying I've felt 'pregnant ' but this month nothing at all really. Boobs aren't particularly sore, don't feel nauseous. Just had a break out and headache.
Thank you for your good luck... it seems to have worked. ❤

dizzy85 · 21/02/2020 12:08

@MrsCl19 glad your feeling better, just try to relax and enjoy it I know it's stressful but be positive and I'm sure everything will be good😊

@MrsTtobe congratulations on your bfp how lovey 🥰

MrsCl19 · 21/02/2020 12:12

@MrsTtobe that's fab news congratulations!

MrsTtobe · 21/02/2020 12:15

@dizzy85 thank you so so much. Im still just sitting here in shock looking at it. I just can't believe it. I really it wasnt going to happen. Been diagnosed with low B12 so having to have injections for that so maybe that has helped? I also started taking vitamin b complex from Holland and Barrett last month.

MrsTtobe · 21/02/2020 12:16

@MrsCl19 thank you lovely 😘 it says 2-3 weeks. How strange that I've told women I've never met and yet my poor OH is working away on a building site without a clue ❤
