Thanks all. I've spent the evening having cuddles and playing games with my 2 children which has helped. Just went to loo and I'm bleeding quite heavy, hopefully it calms down soon and passed one clot like a size of a 50p and then some really small dark ones (sorry for tmi)... hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and the cramps would of calmed down, had to dose myself up on painkillers..
Its such a stressful time, we had a discussion tonight and now I'm not sure I'm prepared to try August, I'm tempted to try and lose some weight first, take folic acid and vit d everyday... and go from there, wondering if I'm low on the progesterone..do you know how I can get this checked? Not sure my gp will actually help given ive had one mc last year at 5/6 weeks (which is on my records as I had to go to EPU) but considering I was only 4 weeks this time they don't need to know and won't class it as a mc so they might just say that I can just try again. I also had been suffering with lower cramps/ painful when having sex back last year had a scan done back in jan this year and they found one small fibroid on my womb, the dr said it was tiny it was hard to say if it was affect pregnancy and now I'm not sure if it is the cause.... hard work being a woman! Xx

@slcxxx
Omg big congratulations great to hear x
@Naomi2b89
You norm get it tested on day 21 of your cycle if you ovulate on dy 14 really has to be 7 dpo just ask ur doc for the bloods, so sorry the bleeding has got worse for you, when I had my cp I pass a like a clear clot and you can c like vains running through it and my blood eased of after that look after yourself and relax as much as u can 💚

Congrats @Miscarriage39 ❤️❤️

H0peing · 10/07/2021 23:36

@Miscarriage39 sending lots of positive thoughts your way and hoping that you can find some enjoyable ways to fill the next 3 weeks! It would be great if you could find ways to treat yourself because you deserve it! It could be worth calling to beg your local EPU for extra scans from 6 weeks onwards. I managed to get one extra scan with my first and only child when I called and begged them for one before I'd had any miscarriages. I guess it may partly depend on who answers the phone and how busy they are at the time. Xx

H0peing · 10/07/2021 23:51

@Naomi2b89 I have a small uterine fibroid. I had one when I was pregnant with my DS but it disappeared / shrank during the pregnancy. I've heard of lots of people having successful pregnancies with fibroids. Folic acid, vit D and having a healthy BMI is recommended whilst TTC so they could help. Wishing you success when you do choose to try again Xx

PeanuttyButter · 11/07/2021 10:32

Congratulations @Miscarriage39 fingers crossed for you all remains well.

Sorry to hear about what you're going through @Naomi2b89 you're in the right place for support everyone is lovely here.

@Babyghirl haha on the horse riding...someone's a lucky to be able to use the horse analogy hehe
I'm currently CD9 says ovulation in 6 days but tbh I have no idea when it's going to happen now but we have started to DTD eod and plan on doing that until about cd18 so fingers crossed we are lucky this time.

Babyghirl · 11/07/2021 10:46

@PeanuttyButter
I will look forward to ovulation is over so I can step of the saddle and get a break 😂😂😂😂😂 3 or 4 days to go for me so nt to far away I norm get pain and cm turns creamy day after that so I kind of know when it's happened 💚 fingers crossed it r month 💚

Nuggetlover27 · 11/07/2021 15:22

Thanks for thinking of me @Babyghirl
I'm doing okay. I've always suffered with my mental health and seems to be a lot more since getting pregnant so have avoided MN as everything I seem to read sets off my anxiety, I've been thinking of you girls though and sending lots of baby dust your way. I know you'll get your BFPs soon 🥰

In currently 26+3 and baby boy 💙 seems to be growing well. Other than my mental health my pregnancy has been a pretty good one with only a small amount of sickness and other symptoms.

Hope all the 🦕s are doing well

Babyghirl · 11/07/2021 15:30

@nuggetlover27

Babyghirl · 11/07/2021 18:30

Well right hand sided pain on CD 8 well I took my period one day before that but they say if it after a certain time count nxt day as CD1 so I say cd8/9 surely I could not be ovulating nw what you girls think 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Annny27 · 11/07/2021 18:43

Might be gearing up to ovulate @babyghirl!

I have been spotting for 7 days, had bfn so not implantation.....maybe the vaccine made my spotting worse this month 😭😭 13dpo and just waiting to come on now

@Annny27
Norm my pain happens the day of ovulation cause my cm goes creamy the day after the pain 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 I'm sure that super annoying for you phone the waiting list office and c where u r and when you would at least be expecting an op date 💚

PeanuttyButter · 11/07/2021 22:34

Wrote a really long reply before but my browser crashed and I lost it.
Having a bad few days recently but was cheered up by a great weekend. Unfortunately that's now ended as DH cousin has announced their pregnancy tonight and they would be due about 2 weeks after I would have been. I feel like my world has crumbled again. I know people will get pregnant and I am happy for them at heart but also hurting so so badly. It's crushing me

Babyghirl · 11/07/2021 22:48

@PeanuttyButter
Awwww big hugs its awful I knw how ur feeling my sis in law was the same got pregnant after my first miscarriage and had baby 2 weeks after my second miscarriage it killed me, just do what u have to do to protect your feelings, I did nt c her while pregnant cause it killed me and never meet baby for a while either but I did not care what anybody thought I was looking after myself xxx

lozza2206 · 11/07/2021 22:53

@Babyghirl I'm happy they are testing you for everything! Wishing you all the luck and love xoxo

PeanuttyButter · 11/07/2021 23:33

@Babyghirl just had an argument with DH now too. Basically since I misscarried 3 other people have gone on to have normal 12week scans and I was saying to him that this is killing me, I'm literally the 1 in 4. He just snapped and told me he knows I'm upset but I've got to get over it and stop thinking about other people as it will happen eventually. I just snapped back and said "well everytime you mention insert upcoming event he's been stressing about instead of comforting you I'm gonna say the same to you!' now I've gone to bed my chest literally hurting. I feel so alone and awful right now as I don't feel I'm allowed to be upset anymore.

Babyghirl · 11/07/2021 23:35

@lozza2206
Hopefully nxt will be my rainbow baby xx

Babyghirl · 12/07/2021 07:22

@PeanuttyButter
It's so easy for them to say things like that yes there going through it to but not on the same level as us, its r body's that's letting us down and that's the hardest part to take in 💚

Annny27 · 12/07/2021 12:03

Wow you guys are so far along now! @nuggetlover27 @lozza2206

@babyghirl I called and they said January 2022 by the earliest. Just had a big cry I am sick of waiting, when is it my turn 😥😥😥😥😥

Think my period is on it's way thankfully finally so that's probably why I am extra emotional (plus the country is a bit glum after the football haha)

Thanks Ladies 🤗 just hope it continues going well.

I would say that I honestly believe the Ferti-Lily made all the difference. It’s such a small cup and sits over the cervix (tmi). I left it in all night and I think the sperm had only 1 direction to go.. up 🤣. I hope you all get your BFPs soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Babyghirl · 12/07/2021 14:11

@slcxxx
So glad things r going so well for you girl we will all be following you soon 💚.
@Annny27
Awww sorry you feeling down but don't loss hope keep phoning you never knw could offer you a cancellation on the phone when u phone one day, it will be ur turn soon just like it will be my turn one day girl 💚

SLCxxx · 12/07/2021 14:14

@Babyghirl I watched the great speed race 🤣 omg it was so interesting! And there was me thinking it was all about timing 🤦🏼‍♀️ Didn’t realise how complex it all is, lol
