@MrsK21 @Jazper thank you both. @MrsK21 I just thought they would make me wait, I think it's great they are doing it Sunday, I'll get the results later that day too so it's just nice to know I'll have some answers. I feel better for going, so now as you say its rest and positivity on the cards for me.

How are you feeling today, any AF signs?

@Jazper I would have pushed for the full hormone blood tests, so I think they do one early in your cycle, and one after your expected ovulation date, so they can measure the levels at the various stages. It's such a faff and I never understand the resistance to check everything. All they have to do is mark all the boxes and maybe take a couple of tubes, but they try and do as little as possible! Drives me nuts.

MichT4 · 10/07/2020 10:37

@HE88 I'll get them Sunday. I asked if there was any value in knowing what today's were and she said no - she said there's no expectations as to how much they are at a certain time, but more about how they differ over 48 hours.

@Baba458 thank you - just hope there's good news after my blood tests Sunday. Then I can really relax!

How was the cake? I think green tea eliminates any calories.

HE88 · 10/07/2020 10:40

@MichT4 ah I see well I'm keeping everything crossed for you. Xx

Baba458 · 10/07/2020 11:06

@MichT4 I know it’s hard but try to think positive xx
The cake was lush .... and I thought the same thing about the green tea 😉 xx

MrsK21 · 10/07/2020 11:11

@MichT4 I'm glad they seem to be doing all the right things. Like you, my GP is terrible so I have a hard time having faith sometimes in the doctors as I was brushed off as being "panicky" last time.
I really hope your bloods on Sunday show a nice big rise! Some good trashy TV over the weekend will help it go quicker. I've recently started watching 90 day fiance, it makes me feel better about my life lol

I've had some sore boobs, a few weird cramps last night and my CM has changed to textbook pre AF consistency, I'm cautiously optimistic I will get AF in the next week or so (never thought I'd be optimistic about getting AF but the strange times we find ourselves in eh!?). I'm trying to be patient with it all and keep myself distracted over the weekend.

@Baba458 I keep telling myself I need to book a holiday somewhere as incentive to lose the weight! Do you have any nice plans for the wekeend? x

MichT4 · 10/07/2020 11:14

@MrsK21 I love 90 day fiance. It does make you feel like you've got everything together. Who is in the series you are watching?

God the doc I spoke to on the phone during my first MC was so unsympathetic. OH was furious! It's crazy how cold they can be.

Fingers crossed to a big rise. I feel better not thinking about testing again and stuff, all adds to the worry xx

Hayleylou89 · 10/07/2020 11:15

Thank u, you lovely bunch of ppl :) it was such a nice suprise especially before i go to spain sunday. Baba458 @Cels22 @Mich2020 @Northernsoul90.

@Lollol86 Im from liverpool and the womens hospital here run the clinic, Its such a lovely idea, i wont see them again until im discharged from preterm labour clinic and then they discuss the birth with u then but i pretty much have a higg choice of being induced, c section or whatever i want really as long as it obv safe for both of us.
Xx i obv want to keep him in there as long as possible with going into preterm labour last time so being induced early isnt something im thinking of right now, but might change my mind closer to time x

Iv got my 12 week scan a week on monday and see the preterm labour clinic 2day later for the first check of my cervix to make sure its strong enough 🤞🏻🤞🏻 if its looking short they will give me a pessarie and poss a stitch too x x

Hayleylou89 · 10/07/2020 11:15

The choice* not higg 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

HopeForRainbowbaby · 10/07/2020 11:18

@Jazper hi, my cycles are over the place after miscarriages. I even had 20 day cycle. Midwife told me that they might come back, likely within 6 months or they will never come back to pre Mc cycle. Hope that helps you! your body is just still processing what new normal is😘

SmileyT · 10/07/2020 11:29

@MichT4 ahh I'm so happy that you are feeling calmer and they'll confirm everything is good come Monday ☺️ time to relax and enjoy your weekend x

@VP91x watch Petes Dragon 🐉 that was a tear jerker for me...

@DBTJ wait did you say you got a positive? With a FRER? Tentative congrats if it's still too early for you to get excited x

@Mommybear05 strangely after this month OH was like do you reckon you conceived on the run from CD11-14 or CD18 one when you got your 2nd surge, obviously paying more attention after I stopped talking about it as much 😂 I did like the CB tests, I had the 2 hormone one and 1 box lasted me 4 months so not too bad x

@Jazper what was the difference in your LP? I think everyone has covered the things of why it may have changed, but just wanted to send you a big hug. It's shit after a MC when things don't feel normal but personally I would say that the pill could take you back further, but I'm obvs not a Dr that's just what I'd think xx

SmileyT · 10/07/2020 11:30

@Hayleylou89 so glad you are being monitored so closely need to keep that little boy safely inside for another 28 or so weeks ☺️ x

MrsK21 · 10/07/2020 11:31

@MichT4 the first hurdle in my GP surgery seems to be getting past the receptionist, who I'm convinced has gone crazy on a power trip these lol
I think I'm on season 7 (not watched earlier ones) - saw a couple called Tania and Syngen, felt really bad for the guy who came all the way from South Africa to basically live in her mum's shed. Total trash TV at it's finest!

@Hayleylou89 I hope you have a lovely break in Spain! Sounds like a nice well deserved trip and hope you get some quality me time xxx

CasperFlamingo · 10/07/2020 11:33

@MichT4 "when they shoved that thing up there" - I so sympathise with this! Having had "the thing" up there on Monday, it doesn't deserve any better name! Got everything crossed for you!

Baba458 · 10/07/2020 11:35

@MrsK21 oooh yes a holiday sounds like a good incentive ☀️ We made a decision not to go until next year when things have hopefully calmed down but I’ve noticed lots of people are already starting to travel again. How do you feel about it??
This weekend we are decorating. We brought a new house Just before lockdown so everything including the move has been on hold, the new house is empty so we’ve started cracking on with the decorating now thankfully. I like it because it keeps me busy and my mind off other things 🤰🏼. Are you doing anything exciting?

Jazper · 10/07/2020 11:38

Last month was 13 days @SmileyT , I'm now on my 15th lp day and no sign of af at all 😔
Hope you and bean are doing well 🥰

Thank you @HopeForRainbowbaby , I am just heartbroken at the thought of them never going back to regular. I feel like it will really hinder my chance of conceiving. How are you feeling with your cycles all of the place?

Lollol86 · 10/07/2020 11:41

@Hayleylou89 lots of support for you though which is amazing news x

DBTJ · 10/07/2020 11:46

@MichT4 I was going to post one but you would probably all throw your shoes at me from having to squint so hard Grin

Northernsoul90 · 10/07/2020 12:01

@MichT4 I'm really glad that they scanned you and are repeating your bloods, I hope it's given you a little bit of peace of mind so you can relax over the weekend - give yourself lots of TLC! As the nurse said no more peeing on a stick 😂 xxx

@Jazper I'm really sorry that you are having a down day, it's perfectly normal to feel like that from time to time. The cycles going back is so unbelievably frustrating I'm still waiting for a negative test after mc over 4 weeks ago and I'm just desperate to get my cycles back. Sending hugs and letting you know you aren't alone in feeling like this. xxx

MichT4 · 10/07/2020 12:02

@DBTJ I won't throw shoes 😂😂 post it!

@SmileyT thank you - I plan to. Still feeling shattered so a nice chilled one is in order. How are you today?

@MrsK21 oh yeah one of the receptionists at mine is a dragon 😂. I haven't seen that series, I got hooked on the one with Big Ed (he's had memes and everything!). Might have to start another series.

@CasperFlamingo nothing glam about it is there!? Especially when they decide to locate the ovaries and they are pushing it up into the corner! And thank you for the crossed everything 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Northernsoul90 · 10/07/2020 12:02

@DBTJ that sounds very promising 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 everything crossed for you and tentative congratulations 🥰

MichT4 · 10/07/2020 12:04

@Northernsoul90 thank you. Like we say, it's just having someone do something so we know what's happening. Obviously my mood might change come Sunday, but for now I read the commandments and assume there is still a bean burrowed in there.
I don't know if it's just because it was a nurse and it was recent, but oddly since she said that I have no urge to whatsoever. Long may it last! It seems like a crazy thing when they can be interpreted so heavily, and yet we still want to dip things in our pee pots at any opportunity.

Did you do a test today? x

Jazper · 10/07/2020 12:07

I know @Northernsoul90 , I keep updated on here with how you are getting on and I'm so hopeful you get your negative soon.
I really appreciate your well wishes. In fact, everyone's messages of support today have helped. I'm such an emotional wreck, still. I need to sort myself out to collect my girls from school soon. Time to put my big girl pants on and swill my face in cold water xx

CasperFlamingo · 10/07/2020 12:09

@MichT4 I remember being surprised at how hard they pushed the scanner ball onto my tummy and obviously I'd gone with a full bladder so it was awful - thought I was going to pee myself! And then to be told 'let's go transvaginally' afterwards... Also can't they call it something nicer?! After she wiggled it around to see my ovaries she was all like "ooh you have a lovely looking set"!!!! Definitely made me laugh in what was otherwise a hideous experience.

MichT4 · 10/07/2020 12:23

@CasperFlamingo when I went for my private scan last time, I was literally bursting for a wee. I had to stop on route to wee as I hadn't drunk my litre and I was already desperate. She said she had never seen a fuller bladder and that I had pushed my uterus right up and out the way 😂😂 so I had to go and let it out before the stick took over.
Lovely!

@Jazper always here for you, and totally understand how you're feeling. Your girls will hopefully provide a welcome distraction xx

Northernsoul90 · 10/07/2020 12:27

@MichT4 I'm the worst for testing so I have no room to talk but it always makes me more stressed and I just can't help myself doing more! I haven't today no, I'm going to do on the in the morning. Yes keep reading the commandments ☺️ I hope you have a nice relaxed weekend planned xx

@Jazper Thank you, I hope your cycle regulates soon. It just adds to the upset of it all doesn't it... I'm not too clued up on these things I'm not sure if there's anything you can do or take to try and regulate? I hope you're feeling a little better soon 💖 Don't lose hope though, I know irregular cycles make things harder to track but they don't mean you can't fall pregnant xx
