@Sungirl11 I haven't had any tests done apart from to check if I had psos which I don't, and ages ago I had a gynaecologist basically just look at my cervix as I started getting spotting between periods but just said everything looks normal and it's just one of those things. Which I found annoying because they never done any bloods to check hormones or anything and that was that. And I've also said to my dr quite a few times that I feel my hormones are out of place because tmi but my sex drive has been lower than usual for ages but he just said it's probably stress but you know when you know something doesn't feel right.
I'm gonna phone up and get an appointment Monday and when I finally get to speak to a dr, I will definitely mention that test. Does it tell you if your peri menopausal? These headaches really take me down and I've been getting angrier than usual before af starts. I really hope it's not that. I'm 35 next month it's so frustrating feels like no one is listening.
Apart from you lovely ladies😄

ArjaD · 10/10/2020 13:06

@dizzy85 yeah pmt definitely gets worse with age!! I feel so sad today, I think I've upset hubby somehow and he's barely giving me the light of day, my wee boy has an ear infection so super clingy. And I could just burst out crying 😢

Sungirl11 · 10/10/2020 13:45

@dizzy85 yes, it can tell if you are peri menopausal. But the most important it will tell the levels of ovarian reserve you have. So if you still have a lot of eggs or not and are running out of time.

I believe they don't do the hormone tests because you do get pregnant, but also the mc could be because of low progesterone levels.. so you should have those tests done.

I would definitely speak to your GP and tell them you want these tests done now... they are just two blood tests during your cycle and can tell a lot of info. NOT THE END OF THE WORLD for them!! So insist like... no chance mate! I need these done now 😤

Idreamof2more · 12/10/2020 10:46

Hi ladies I’m in complete limbo. My periods have never been late or early but this month 3 days before af I started spotting brown blood. Only small amount. My af is 2 days late but yesterday got not pregnant on a digital test. Been advised to retest in a week. Hate the unknown

ArjaD · 12/10/2020 22:50

@Idreamof2more aw so sorry to hear 😞 why do we do it to ourselves!
My af has showed up two days early so that's me out once again... 😞

dizzy85 · 13/10/2020 09:13

Sorry just replied ladies, af arrived and took me down.
@ArjaD hope your little boy is feeling better and things are ok with hubby. Did you do anymore tests?
@Sungirl11 Thankyou I will definitely ask for those tests, like you say it's nothing to them but could give me some valuable information. Hope all is ok with you.

ArjaD · 13/10/2020 10:23

@dizzy85 nope, my af arrived yesterday too 😞 guess we can all try again next month huh x

Sungirl11 · 13/10/2020 10:48

Hi!
There we are all on a new cycle!
I just finished af yesterday. I have decided to stop doing ovulation tests and temperature etc.. it has been good to know that everything is ok on my side, so i don't need to continue obsessing anymore...
This is like a drug haha now i need to desintoxicate and just relax and pray for GP testing to move forward.

We are still waiting for an appointment for the second sperm test... aw well, never ending story! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Big hugs!!

Idreamof2more · 13/10/2020 14:24

Hi I got a line on a FR today but sadly bleeding 😢

dizzy85 · 13/10/2020 19:55

@ArjaD oh I'm sorry your af came too 😞 hope your ok, it really sucks!

@Sungirl11 I think thats the best idea to stop tracking. Every time I've stopped actively trying is when it's happened and when I do try and track everything it never does it's weird. Hope the test happens soon..bloody drs.

@Idreamof2more oh no I'm really sorry to read that 😢 is it actual period or just a little?

Idreamof2more · 13/10/2020 21:01

Hi well I have had brown spotting since Friday not too much only needed a liner but constant then today a few drops down the loo and more pinky red when I wiped and a lot on tissue. Brown spotting since then. God knows what to think.

dizzy85 · 13/10/2020 21:57

@Idreamof2more I will keep everything crossed for you that it's just implantation bleeding or something🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I really wish I had a good reply for you, it's so hard but maybe try to relax and test again in a few days it might give you a better idea of what's going on. I've personally been through it a lot but for me it didn't end well but when I was searching for answers on here at the time I did find some people that have had bleeding and things have been ok, It's horrible but it really can go either way. Sorry your going through this, here if you need to talk more xx

ArjaD · 13/10/2020 22:02

@Idreamof2more don't worry too much, easier said than done I know.. My friend had bleeding for two months after she got her bfp and her boy is now a teenager!!
@dizzy85 yeah I'm OK, just a bit emotional. I'm hoping we may just get away with one more try before hubby goes away to sea but I'm not sure. He'll get called up soon. How are you?

dizzy85 · 13/10/2020 22:20

@ArjaD aw I hope you feel a bit better tomorrow 💐 I felt like that all yesterday and Sunday I was so down. I'm feeling better today though thankyou, apart from af seems to be extra heavy 😏. Oh I really hope you get to try again before he goes🤞🏻when will you find out? I am moving this month so I've got a good distraction, we've been living at the in-laws saving but been here waaay too long thanks to lockdown, but I'm so excited we will finally have our own place again so no trying to slyly dtd anymore 😆

ArjaD · 13/10/2020 22:30

@dizzy85 aw omg I can't believe you have managed so long with the in laws! I stayed at mines for two months when our house was being built and I nearly committed murder 😂 no idea when hubby will know, maybe about a week before he leaves. It's always up in the air!

Idreamof2more · 13/10/2020 22:48

Thank you so much lovely ladies. Lots of watery brown now so really feeling like this is the end. Thank you both for your support. This will be my third mc/cp. I’m just praying it doesn’t turn into bright red xxx
xxx

Idreamof2more · 14/10/2020 09:14

Oh well woken up to heavy red bleeding. Third loss due to mc and 2 cp. Trying to be grateful that at least I managed to conceive just can’t hold on to them. Awaiting gp call maybe my progesterone is low? I am 40 so pray that my time is not up x

ArjaD · 14/10/2020 10:24

@Idreamof2more so so sorry to hear 😔 hoping for sticky beans for all of us next cycle 🤞🤞🤞

Sungirl11 · 14/10/2020 11:05

@Idreamof2more hiya! I have a friend that had that same issue, she had the HSG test and after that she got pregnant and is now almost 20 weeks in.
She kept on getting pregnant and having early MC...
I believe it might have something to do with the uterus, so worth checking...
Also GP need to refer this asap, because it takes ages for all tests to be done 🙈

Have a tasty glass of wine today or a G&T 🍸🍷
Xx

dizzy85 · 14/10/2020 11:14

@Idreamof2more oh I'm so sorry I hope your ok❤️ it's bloody awful. I've had 1 mmc at almost 3months and then 4 early cp it's so hard. I hope you get some help from the drs. Don't give up hope though, I do know of people in their 40s who have had babies so I'm sure it's not that xxx

@ArjaD I'll keep everything crossed your hubby is around still this cycle🤞🏻 haha I know the feeling oh too well😂 we've been here sooo long now!! Luckily we all get on really well but enough is enough, 17days until I'm freeeee 😆🎉

Idreamof2more · 14/10/2020 13:36

Thank you so much ladies. @dizzy85 so sorry for your loses. Have you received any medical advice. The locum gp I spoke with this am was awful. Didn’t really listen at all and said there’s nothing she can do as I can fall pregnant !!! Needless to say I have booked to see a private gynae 31/10. I give up with the nhs my go practice is a shambles !! X

dizzy85 · 16/10/2020 10:01

@Idreamof2more Thankyou ❤️ I am still waiting for an appointment with the gynaecologist, I got referred in may!! I just spoke to my dr this morning and basically they said I'm on a waiting list for a telephone consultation but she can't tell me how far on the list I am🙄 so she gave me their number and I'm gonna call them in a bit. So fed up with the nhs too it feels like no one cares. Can I ask how much you paid for the private appointment? If it turns out I'm gonna be waiting much longer I may just do that too. Also how do you go about finding the private one? How are you feeling now? Hope your ok xx

Idreamof2more · 16/10/2020 10:27

Hi lovely have send you a message xxx

ArjaD · 21/10/2020 22:32

Hi ladies, how are we all doing? I'm waiting tensely for the end of the month, hoping hubby will still be here. Ovulation predicted for the 1st Nov.

shelly10111 · 24/10/2020 21:41

Hi ladies hope you are all ok, still checking in on the posts to send baby dust and see how you are all doing, hope there's some BFPS on this thread this month ! Xxxxx
