@Babyghirl

Please tag anyone I’ve missed from the old thread.

I’m currently enjoying my first glass of wine in about 10 weeks. Will happily give up alcohol for a baby but no baby I need alcohol 😂

Really hope that’s the start of a BFP for you @Babyghirl let us know when you test in the morning.

@Annny27 Sorry it looks like AF has arrived.

@Nuggetlover27 Fingers crossed for a positive FW

@sweetbabydust1989
You will be fine girl xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 20/04/2021 12:37

@Babyghirl thanks lovely you were right then cannot believe a positive at 15DPO I haven't even told the other half yet I am still in shock.. I honestly thought it would be a negative result just waiting for EPU to contact me with when I can go in for bloods... my fertility bracelet snapped last night guessing it's done it's job lol xx

Babyghirl · 20/04/2021 12:45

@sweetbabydust1989
Deffo done its job they say when they snap your miracle will be just around the corner 💚💚 as hard as it will be try to stay calm cause u can't change the outcome calm or stressed, but I believe its ur time 💚💚 xx

Miscarriage39 · 20/04/2021 13:14

Sweetbabydust1989 congratulations. I have everything crossed for you, and really hope this is the one that sticks.

I haven my posted much on here, so sorry to now come asking g for advice. I got my first period just over two weeks ago. The bleeding calmed down but I continued spotting. There was like a SATs break and the spotting started again. EPU said probably normal, and there is still a little red blood when I wipe (but less than there was). Today, though, OPKs suggest I am around ovulating. Not sure whether to DTD or not. Part of me thinks my body is still all over the place, so it may not be safe, but then again, I really don’t want to miss this opportunity. This is all so stressful!

Babyghirl · 20/04/2021 13:34

@miscarriage39
Have you done a test to c if it's nagitive could just be the clean out your urters needs and nothing sinister, but if u want to dtd go for it but I would try to hold of as still bleeding means ur cervix is still open and could cause an infection but totally up to you 💚

Miscarriage39 · 20/04/2021 13:38

Thanks Babyghirl. I don’t think the cervix should still be open, as there was a short break after the post-miscarriage bleeding before I started spotting then got what I assume to be my period (& what the EPU agreed was probably my first period). It’s just that this first period has morphed into extended spotting. I got a negative test both two and three weeks after I had surgical management.

Sweetbabydust1989 · 20/04/2021 13:47

@Miscarriage39 Thankyou hun I am petrified iam exactly 1 week less when they found out I was having an ectopic... i also found out 3 months today that I was pregnant with my ectopic it's crazy... I hope you're feeling ok?? Xx

Babyghirl · 20/04/2021 16:23

@miscarriage39
Go for it then prop just taking longer for the blood to come out I'm cd8 today so nt to far behind you 💚
@sweetbabydust1989
Has the epu or doc got in touch with u yet for the nxt steps to keep an eye on you 💚 x

Sweetbabydust1989 · 20/04/2021 16:28

@Babyghirl no love nothing yet I will call them back to make sure the referral went through they did say they will do it as an urgent one I am really worried every twinge etc is making me think my tot is in my tube again xx

Miscarriage39 · 20/04/2021 16:31

I think it’s natural to be really scared after what you’ve been through Sweetbabydust1989. Hopefully, the EPU will scan you as soon as possible, and you will have the reassurance that this one is in the right place. Until then, maybe try to think of some nice things to distract and relax (I know that’s far easier said than done). Have you told your partner yet?

Babyghirl thanks, that’s what I’m thinking. I actually wonder if the spotting had become a small ovulation bleed as I’d noticed the consistency change over the past couple of days (sorry for TMI!). Interesting, apart from a very small bit of spotting first thing, I now just have clear CM, so hoping everything is okay.

Babyghirl · 20/04/2021 16:44

@miscarriage39
Yea could be, well I'm going to be 38 in June and really hoping I get a positive before then and it's a successful one 💚
@sweetbabydust1989
Yea do try to relax well as much as u can I knw its nt easy lol but things will work out this time xx

Annny27 · 20/04/2021 16:57

Sorry that AF arrived @ELM7 :( always sucks!

And you definitely arent too old ❤ but if you can afford private consultation or Ivf it might be worth looking into as NHS dont seem too concerned!!! I think you need a hycosy to see the shape of your uterine cavity in more detail xxx

Babyghirl · 20/04/2021 17:35

@ELM7
I'm in the same boat with age as u but I do know a woman who was 47 thought she was going through the menapose and she was pregnant so we r deffo nt to old, we can do this and we will do this 💚💚

kiwi17 · 20/04/2021 19:37

Congratulations @Sweetbabydust1989 those symptoms were too real to not be bfp!! Hope everything goes smoothly this time for you 🤞 @Miscarriage39 that sounds really odd but hopefully like you say it was ovulation bleed and now will settle. I'm on CD10 here and have noticed way more cm since starting the b6 and folate so I think there is something in that! Ovulation tests are darkening so guess I'll ovulate in next few days... fingers crossed! Sorry for the ladies who are on cd1 and sad about no 2021 baby:( I felt the same way... but we Can do this! 2022 is our year!

ELM7 · 20/04/2021 20:08

Congratulations @Sweetbabydust1989 lovely strong BFP you have there. Hope the EPU will get you in soon to confirm your little bean is where it’s meant to be.

@Annny27 unfortunately we can’t afford to go private as DH has been out of work for the last year because of Covid. Whilst we can live on my salary (plan for if we do have a baby is that I’ll go back to work and he will stay at home) it means we haven’t been able to save any real money. I’m currently writing my letter of complaint to the hospital in response to the shocking consultation I had and hoping I can get some answers from them.

Congratulations @Sweetbabydust1989 - I understand your anxiety, I had an ectopic pregnancy in September 2020 afyer an MMC in May 2020, and when I fell pregnant in January of this year, I was extremely nervous. My main concern was another tubal pregnancy. My EPU booked me in for a scan at 6 weeks and they saw me again at 7, and 9 weeks as I had a subchronic haematoma. I'm very lucky to be 16 weeks pregnant now and all was fine. There is hope ❤ happy and healthy 9 months to you.
Love to everyone here - just checking in again girls xxx

Babyghirl · 20/04/2021 20:37

@chali7
Omg I can't believe ur that far gone already it has flew in great to hear from u and hopefully we will all be joining behind you soon and you can check in to c all the bfp to come 💚💚

chali7 · 20/04/2021 20:43

I hope you can all join me soon too @Babyghirl 🥰 can't wait to see lots more bfp's on this thread ❤ I'll always be checking in - this thread is such a wonderful support group xx

Babyghirl · 20/04/2021 20:45

@ELM7
If you have been trying for longer than a year after 35 I think it is you should be referred to a fertility specialist fight for it cause I have learned you get no where doing nothing, 💚

ELM7 · 20/04/2021 21:38

@Babyghirl that is part of my response to the Consultant as the Dr I spoke to made me feel like I was wasting their time because we had been pregnant so because we have been pregnant twice the clock starts again each time. So currently 3mths since the last MC

@chali7 Thankyou so much I am that petrified I have not told no one not even my other half... I am cramping a little and can feel some pinching pains but nothing like before if I have to wist until 6 weeks that means I still have 2 weeks left this is worse than the 2WW 🙈 did you notice any pains when you got pregnant after having an ectopic xx
