So sorry to hear your news @crazycatlady1981, thinking of you xx

@clolo it always seems like we are waiting for everything on this journey! Good to stop testing now though, good luck for the scan!

@crazycatlady1981 I'm so sorry it hasn't worked for you this time, I'm sure there's still hope for you, chin up and self care for now and take care of yourself for the next round - like they say third time lucky xx

Conscious I don't know you but sorry to hear that @crazycatlady1981

Hope you're ok @clolo

Got my AMH result back today from fertility place which was 37. I'm gobsmacked to be honest, given my previous ovarian cystectomy.

Repeat ultrasound in early Nov so will go from there. I'm currently on day 3 of getting in the zone with weight loss which desperately needs to happen so... fingers crossed I keep it up. Weekends are my downfall. 😬

P.S. hope my mentioning of AMH doesn't upset anyone, I just expected it to be low given the issues we're having.

It should hopefully give us room for manoeuvre if I do need surgery on current endometrioma.

@feliznavidad2 that's good news 🙌🏻 think mines fairly similar - and noone would be upset. We have a lot of women with much lower amh who are pregnant so it's not the be all and end all :)

@crazycatlady1981 I am so sorry lovely ♥️♥️♥️ that's so disheartening but hopefully your next round will be the one xxx

Thanks @Annny27

@feliznavidad2 that's brilliant news!! Takes a weight off knowing there's one less thing to worry about

@crazycatlady1981 I'm so so sorry to hear the bad news. I hope OH is taking really good care of you and we're here when you're ready for us xx

@feliznavidad2 always a relief to get test results that are good! I don't even know what mine is. I can't believe the clinic don't check. 🤷‍♀️ So I can't sit and worry if mine is good or not. 🤣

@feliznavidad2 that's good news about your amh I presume yours was done in pmol/L I don't know why they can't just use the same way if measuring! Mines only 1.3 but I'm pretty sure that's my/ml 😂

Oh crikey, no idea what unit it's even being measured in. 🤦‍♀️ thanks ladies, just feels like a bit of a positive when I'm still spotting most of my menstrual cycle away each month. 😫

How are you all?

@feliznavidad2 if you have fibroid or endo can spot, or low progesterone if its in luteal phase. Have they investigated spotting at all? X

I meant ng/ml for mine - autocorrect! All good here just waiting for the end of this cycle so I can start my clomid cycle

@kerrym87 I've got endo, diagnosed 8 years ago before we had DS. I've got an endometrioma at the moment, but having repeat scan to see if it's grown in a few weeks. They weren't keen to operate without knowing my ovarian reserve as have had surgery for endo previously. Interestingly the spotting is only in luteal phase which makes me think it's a progesterone problem - but the bloods I had done showed it raised post ovulation so... 🤷‍♀️

@feliznavidad2 you might have endometriosis on cervix. My friend had it and caused spotting and they burnt off the cells and they went away.

I am also having similar issues ONLY spotting in luteal phase but progesterone results coming back over 60 each time! It's so damn annoying

@Annny27 @feliznavidad2 the spotting thing drives me mad. They told me it was progesterone- but my day 21 results were always OK too. It happens every month without fail. Sometimes for the whole 2 weeks of my LP.

Oddly- I'm using buserelin for my downreg. AF due tomorrow or Monday officially. Zero spotting as yet. And that's unheard of for me? I can't even work out why that makes sense? Unless AF is going to be really late for to the drugs. But I always spot for 3-5 days before AF. ALWAYS. And that's on a good month.

Hi guys, I thought I should share my update as I feel I owe it to you to share the good and bad.

Unfortunately, the 6 week scan wasn't the one we wanted. It showed that whilst I was 7 weeks pregnant, the baby had stopped growing at 4.

Obviously we were crushed and completely blindsided as my embryo was 6AA and PGS tested. Turns out we were just really unlucky and we fell into that 10% miscarriage crack.

We've come to terms with it now and I think not actually hearing a heartbeat actually helped me heal quicker. My heart goes out to all those who have suffered miscarriages, it really is cruel. I had a missed miscarriage which after IVF seemed particularly cruel.

Despite it being a widely hated phrase, I have taken solace from the fact that I can get pregnant.
My body responded well to the protocol and im proud that I did fall pregnant, even for only a few weeks.

Big love to everyone, I feel like this is the fight of my life and I wish you all luck no matter what stage you're at. For those who have miscarried l, I completely understand and always here to talk x❤️

@5DollarShakes I’m so sorry to read this, keep fighting the fight - ttc for a long period of time creates warriors x

@5DollarShakes I'm sorry to read your update. However I'm pleased you can take some positives from it. It's a terrible thing to have to go through but your time will come xxx

@5DollarShakes I'm so sorry but I get what you mean about being pregnant for first time, we haven't achieved that yet either, it's a bittersweet thing really isn't it. My friend had a miscarriage then fell straight away next cycle (all natural) and I just felt forlorn as we couldn't even get that far.....Thinking of you x

Thanks all 💕

@kerrym87 I completely understand and prior to the pregnancy I didn't know which camp we fell into either...we have a MF diagnosis (low morphology) but there's still so many unknowns. I'm just trying to get on with my life now and have IVF running in the background, like the virus checker on your computer 😆
Wishing you well xx

@5DollarShakes sorry to read your update. Wishing you all the success moving forward. Take care of yourselves!

@5DollarShakes you have such a good attitude to it, keep going girl. You'll defo get there 🙏🏾

@5DollarShakes I'm so sorry, it's never east to get that news. I had the same thing with my m/c, take some time for yourself 🫂
