Is anyone else on cyclogest and finding they’re really windy? It’s a flipping good job I’m single, and I don’t think it’s loud enough for the neighbours to hear but I’ve never been this bad in my life! Blush

@Sunbird24 can I ask what happened with you scan/s previously? Don’t go into if if you don’t want to. Best wishes for your scan in the 10th, mine is on the 6th, seems a long time away I’m feel anxious by the day 😬 hope you’re ok.
@Sjhigs how are you feeling? Hope you’re not too stressed.

Sunbird24 · 16/07/2021 20:36

@polejunkie I don’t mind at all! With my fresh transfer I waited until the clinic’s viability scan and they could see a sac but nothing in it, so I stopped the progesterone and the miscarriage started 2 weeks later - I did have a blue light trip to A&E in between with what was probably a ruptured ovarian cyst, but the hospital never did any scans as they already knew it wasn’t an ectopic, just waited for the morphine to kick in and sent me home Hmm
With my second, which was an unmedicated FET. I had a private scan at 6+5, which showed one of the two had implanted but was measuring 6+1 with a heartbeat. By the time I had my scan at the clinic at 8+1 that had gone too. Miscarriage started about a week later, but turned into a haemorrhage so I ended up getting admitted through A&E and had 2 nights in hospital on a drip.
Hopefully this time round everything will be much less eventful! 🤞🤞

polejunkie · 16/07/2021 20:54

@Sunbird24 thanks for sharing all of that detail, sounds like quite the ordeal both times, I’m sorry you had to go through that - Do you know why both failed or was there no answer as such? So rubbish to get to the scan point under the assumption that all should be ok. I guess I always thought there would be an indication (like bleeding for example) naive I know - I’m really crossing my fingers for you, this is the one x

Sunbird24 · 16/07/2021 21:13

@polejunkie, no not a clue. I also had a MMC from a natural conception when I was younger (24), so I don’t even know if all 3 were for the same reason. All the tests for everything come up normal - we haven’t done the ERA/EMMA/ALICE ones as there doesn’t seem to be any issue with implantation, just getting past the 7 week point. I’m 43 now though, so that likely has some impact!
Have you planned things to keep yourself busy between now and your scan? It’d be good to have some distractions to stop yourself dwelling on it too much!

Marvellouslymadmum · 16/07/2021 21:14

@clolo that's good news! Hopefully one will work for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Tofu35 😂😂 that made me lol visions of a donkey with its hind end out the bus

@Sjhigs symptoms come and go all the time in pregnancy I wouldn't be too worried

@crazycatlady1981 I do hope you feel better soon and great that fet won't be too far away

@Sunbird24 you've definitely not had an easy time of it! 3rd time lucky 🍀

Morning fellow donkeys, how is everyone doing? I hope there are some decent weekend plans afoot?

CB digital says 2-3 weeks, which is spot on as I’m 4+3, so at least for today everything is right on track. My viability scan is booked for 19 Aug, which is 7+6. That would be a personal best!

Sjhigs · 17/07/2021 08:42

Morning ladies il catch up when I get finished work. Basically have had 24 hours of hell googling chemicals and miscarriage I just can't help but worry I've absolutely tormented myself and still am 🤦‍♀️ I still have quite a lot of watery discharge and had sore legs again last night but just feel like something isn't right Monday can't come quick enough but have to wait till Tuesday for results absolute torture 😭 hate how anxious I am this can't be helping things either but can't shift it x

becarefuloutthere · 17/07/2021 11:12

@Marvellouslymadmum sensible plan, you don't wanna overwhelm yourself on an already emotional journey!
@crazycatlady1981 how'd you get on this morning? Hope you're ok! Xx
@MIW01 good luck with the amh results. You had your afc done yet?
@Sunbird24 I told mine the day of bfp rather than otd as I wanted more pessaries too. Just seen you're booked in for the 10th, day before my 12 week scan! Good luck 🤞🏾 have you got two scans booked? 10th and 19th. Nice to get 2-3 on the digital!
@clolo glad you have a sound plan in place, exciting mate!
@Sjhigs it's so hard not to be anxious right. Try some meditation if you can. Good luck for Monday! X

Sunbird24 · 17/07/2021 11:46

@becarefuloutthere no just the 10th, have I made a typo on another post? 🤦‍♀️ That’s so exciting about your 12 week scan, hope you get a nice clear picture!

becarefuloutthere · 17/07/2021 12:23

@Sunbird24 yeah your latest post says 19th so I got confused 😆
Thanks, me too! On my way to get bloods done today, I'm gonna be half hour earlier 🤦🏾‍♀️ what's the odds the nhs are running early for a change. 😳 😂

Theawkwardblonde · 17/07/2021 12:37

Didn't see the tag for some reason 🤦🏼‍♀️ thanks for the new thread ladies!

MIW01 · 17/07/2021 15:24

Thabks @becarefuloutthere my AFC was 7 but hey did it on day 18 🤷‍♀️ so they wanted me to have AMH done too which I had on Wednesday. I have a family history of early menopause so never expected great things but does mean we are running out of time.

Sorry to hear about your experiences @Sunbird24 sounds awful I am keeping everything crossed for you

Yout too @Sjhigs I hope that it is all OK!

Sunbird24 · 17/07/2021 15:38

Keeping things crossed for you @Sjhigs

polejunkie · 17/07/2021 20:56

@Sjhigs how are you?
@crazycatlady1981 has you’re period arrived? Hope you’re feeling ok x

Sjhigs · 18/07/2021 08:15

Thanks everyone

@polejunkie I actually don't know 🤦‍♀️ I'm better than I was but still not convinced bloods tomo results Tuesday just trying to keep busy how are you any symptoms? I'm still getting water like discharge so I'm hoping that's a good sign x

polejunkie · 18/07/2021 08:28

@Sjhigs we came away for the weekend so a nice distraction, other than the positive test I wouldn’t know I was pregnant atm… good sign / bad sign who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ I couldn’t tell you about discharge, pessaries are gross - that’s all I can notice x

Sjhigs · 18/07/2021 08:35

@polejunkie aww hope you're having a great time I keep feeling like I've peed myself a bit it's gross some days I see the crinone and some days I don't 🤷‍♀️

crazycatlady1981 · 18/07/2021 14:31

@polejunkie yep period arrived in full glory on Friday morning!! Glad to get it out of the way tbh, I’m feeling much better today now all the period pain has gone!

@clolo that’s interesting about them not doing FETs at weekend, will add it to my list of questions to ask at my next appointment.

@Sjhigs hope the blood tests go ok tomorrow 🤞🏻 Keeping everything crossed for your results on Tuesday. Do you have a scan date arranged yet?

Hope everyone’s having a lovely weekend and got some good weather! 🌞🌞🌞

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/07/2021 19:36

@crazycatlady1981 sorry af arrived but yes at least now it's out the way you are moving forward.

@Sjhigs hope the blood tests went ok?

How's everyone else doing? I threw my back out on Friday, was trimming the hedges and picking up all the leaves and must've trapped a nerve or something. Spent the whole weekend on crutches barely able to move without them and was given extra strong cocodamol naproxen and diazepam so ttc was put firmly on the back burner! Today is cd24 day 13 of flashey smilies 🤦🏼‍♀️ though I did actually get a bit of ewcm today so going to attempt to dtd tonight now I can actually move even though I'm still stiff and only move slowly 😂

MIW01 · 19/07/2021 21:58

Sorry to hear that @crazycatlady1981 I hope its over with asap and you can move on

Sounds awful @Marvellouslymadmum wish you a speedy recovery and back to TTC journey asap

polejunkie · 20/07/2021 08:42

Morning all - very quiet on the bus at the moment - saying that I don't have much to say, just over here melting tbh. I hope everyone is ok?

@crazycatlady1981 thinking things should have settled a little for you now in regard to AF (unless it's affected by IVF and still really bad? Hoping not!) how are you feeling about everything?

@Sjhigs fingers crossed for your blood results, here's hoping you can relax somewhat after you receive them - interestingly I'm not having bloods... reported a positive test and that's it until viability scan / midwife appt?! I must admit I'm over here wondering if I'm actually even pregnant half the time!

polejunkie · 20/07/2021 08:42

@Marvellouslymadmum how's your back this morning? I hope you managed TTC without putting it out again!!
