Morning :)

@kiza never again with the 4 days in a row....the 4th day was very much a chore vs enjoyment 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think that's the best thing to do, try and get your body in the absolute best condition for ivf

@XjustagirlX yes I think stop taking bbt now :) its a stress thsy you don't need - you will find out whats happening on Thursday so no need to get yourself upset unnecessarily if bbt drops xxx

@orangeloo ah that's frustrating that its not a normal period :( you didn't get a peak opk this month did you?

@Narwhal88 I think every other day is a good idea tbh. When we got our bfp we did 3 days before ovulation, 1 day before and then the day of. Wow 3 months! So frustratingly slow!!!

@Lotusflower11 glad you haven't had any major hormonal based side affects! Although totally natural if you do feel grumpier etc.

@XjustagirlX hope you're ok - have you spoken to the hospital yet?

@timswifey I’ve just spoke to the hospital. They didn’t seem too concerned. I’m worrying coz of the blood, the painful cramps yesterday and this morning I didn’t feel nauseous and my boobs don’t feel as painful. Each of those on their own wouldn’t worry me but as all four have happened at the same time then it’s making me panic.

@XjustagirlX sorry didn't see your update before posting earlier! Are they still sticking with the Thursday scan or trying to get you seen earlier? Xxx

@Annny27 they don’t want to see me earlier than Thursday. Because I don’t have shoulder tip pain, sharp rectal pain or cramps on one side then I’m guessing they don’t think at this stage it’s ectopic.

My gut is saying I’m going to miscarry.

Hi all ☺️

Hope everyone is having a good week!

@Annny27 Yes we are getting there! Currently phase 2 so ships opened last week and restaurants etc from the 15th

@XjustagirlX oh lovely my heart goes out to you, I really hope everything is ok, could they not have squeezed you in tomorrow to put your mind at ease?

Had my presentation yesterday and hear tomorrow if I still have a job or not then have my HSG on Thursday 🤞🏻

@XjustagirlX sorry to hear they wouldn't see you earlier, really hoping this is still a wonderful outcome for you. I know sometimes symptoms come and go and again some women bleed throughout the 1st trimester. Sending you some positive vibes.

@Lozzlepop how you feeling about your HSG?

@Kiza I’m not really looking forward to the procedure itself, and I don’t think it will give any answers so I’m hoping that the nurse can give more info on what the next steps (if any) are for us but I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing else they will test for and that will be us discharged. How are you?

@XjustagirlX try to stay positive, I had bleeding and cramps up until 12 weeks and everything was ok. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, good luck xx

Hope everyone is keeping well!

Ps @Annny27 4 days in a row - well done 😂👍🏼

Hi Ladies

Haven't posted in a while, but I'm still here reading away! Its coming upto my time of ovulation but this time, even though its only my second cycle!!!, I plan to just try my best to not stress and take it easy and not log every single symptom in the tww as it was just too much!

Although in saying that i bought a bbt lol, haven't really been using it right though.

@XjustagirlX ahh congratulations, and good luck for scan tomorrow really hope all is ok xx

@Annny27 4 days in a row....ouch lol xx

@XjustagirlX hope everything is ok tomorrow x

@Lozzlepop hopefully you are one of the lucky ones who has no pain with HSG, let me know how it goes! I just called radiology to book mine and was told they aren't doing them at the moment as they are classed as routine and to try again next month 😩😩 covid has a lot to bloody answer for!! Assuming this means I won't get an ultrasound for ages either as that is also routine. I was hoping to have all the results back for 18th August for our next appointment ☹️ cycle day 1 sucks!

@XjustagirlX hope the scan goes well today and brings you some reassurance.

@mrsbecs nice to hear from you, it's good to try and distract yourself during TWW otherwise it can really take control of our thoughts and go stir crazy! 😀

@Lozzlepop is today HSG for you? I'm sure you'll be fine, most women only feel a bit uncomfortable when they inject the dye so ask them to do it slowly as that was the only bit that I found ok and she injected it so slowly I didn't feel a thing.

AF due on Saturday and no spotting which is great news for me. Few twinges which feel like usual AF cramps. Temp still up so will watch and wait over the next few days.

They couldn’t see anything on a scan. I’ve had my bloods and I’ll get the results this afternoon. My lining was only 5mm. They said they would have expected about 20mm by now. Also my temperature dropped to the cover line this morning. I don’t think things are looking good. To top it off my team are having individual calls with HR today so I’m also worried I might be losing my job when it’s my turn.

Sorry @XjustagirlX that's really heartbreaking:( are they thinking it was an early miscarriage or a pregnancy in unknown location? Best of luck for your job call later

@kiza the bo spotting seems great so far!!!! Even if AF does come then its promissing for your progesterine levels :D

@mrsbecs yep 4 days was a mission haha! Best of luck for ovulation time! Are you dtd every other day or another plan?

@whatsthecraic91 never again haha! But wanted to give the daily dtd a shot atleast one time. Hopefully we caught!

I am 6dpo and remaining calm and hopeful :)

@Annny27 the sheet said pregnancy in unknown location but I don’t know how they would know that if they didn’t see anything on the scan. I will know more once I get my hcg results today and Saturday.

My hcg level was only 138. I’m going back on Saturday for another test. I’m hoping that it resolves itself on its own like last time without any medical injections or surgery.

I'm so sorry @XjustagirlX take care of yourself xx

Sorry to hear this @XjustagirlX xx

If the hcg goes down on Saturday I don’t think I will know if it’s ectopic or miscarriage. I’m definitely avoiding my left ovary from now on. Last time I ovulated within days of the ectopic resolving itself so we are going to try again straight away and hopefully catch the right side this time.

@XjustagirlX sending you lots of love, you're sounding very resilient and pragmatic... how are you feeling?

@Kiza thank you. In my mind I kind of knew something was going wrong once I got that bleeding and the cramps. I just feel how can I be so unlucky to have two ectopics/miscarriages straight after one another. It’s making me think there is something seriously wrong with my insides.

Tomorrow I’m going to phone the private clinic to start the ball rolling for some private tests. But we are going to try with the right side and if private tests need to be done then I plan to wait until after we have tried using the right side.

Third time lucky hopefully.

@XjustagirlX I know it can seem so cruel at times. I am about to start cycle 23 with 2 MC also and there's apparently no reason given for us, it's heartbreaking and makes you wonder why all the time.
Take care of yourself and if it is definitely another ectopic/mc I hope it's a smoother passing for you

Sorry to jump in. I could really do with some advice. I have pcos. Ttc 20 months. On day 3 of what I thought is my period but it's completely different to anything I've experienced! Hardly any blood, dark brown in colour. I've tested negative but could that be because hcg levels aren't high enough on day 3? I'm concerned because I was supposed to take my clomid tablet yesterday but don't want to risk it if this is a pregnancy. What do you think? Am I imagining things?

@XjustagirlX so sorry, hope you're okay
