[Annny27]

Hi ladies,

You know the drill after this long haha! All of us ladies are ttc after miscarriage (whether that's MMC, MC, TFMR, ectopic or CP)

I will tag people in next message :)

@H0peing Thank you. I'm low key terrified and I'm dreading the anxiety when I hopefully get pregnant again though!

@H0peing so lovely to see your scan... I am sure things will be fine for you hun this baby is definitely your rainbow baby!! It's nice to no my insides aren't a train wreck I couldn't believe it when my consultant said everything including my tubes were clear i was like wtf but I had 2 ectopics in my right one I am guessing he gave them a good flushing.. my other half is having surgery next month so this is my only cycle to try until he recovers so hoping I catch this one I am not letting him leave the room once my reds have gone lol xx

@skaterchick
Sorry for your loss, its a nerve racking time trying again, but hopefully the nxt time is your rainbow.xx

@HOpeing
I'm getting them for nxt time after 4 losses hearing stories like yours give me hope. I will be having a meeting soon with my rmc consultant soon might ask for them for after ovulation. Going to start taking aspirin from today not just when I get my bfp. Xx

@sweetbabydust1989
Glad your feeling better, did your period turn up xx

Here they r x

Hello ladies, slowly recovering :)

@ELM7 thanks lovely! so bloated haha! And slowly getting up and walking around 🥰 one sucky thing , because we got pregnant in may, the nhs ivf timer restarts untillay 2023!! Wtf. We are going to appeal

@babyghirl omg the puppies are absolutely beautiful 💗💗💗 do you have potebtial owners for them yet?

@fizzl @whiffle77 thank you lovelys! How are you both getting on?

@H0peing wonderful news lovely 😍 do you have a little bump yet?

@sweetbabydust1989 did your period arrive on time? I am about u days away from.when my period should come but I am not sure if with laparoscopy it will be delayed

@H0peing glad everything is going well!

@Annny27 glad you're recovering well! We're doing good thanks. Baby is changing so much and so quickly but she's great and getting very cheeky and interactive.

I hope your appeal is successful too! It seems really unfair to make you wait until 2023.

@Annny27 Thanks! Yes, I have a little bump now. Can't wear some of my clothes so I just bought some comfy looking maternity leggings today. I also noticed a really adorable rainbow baby outfit today. Hoping my little one gets to wear it. Daring to dream at the moment. Xx

@Annny27 I really hope your appeal is successful! Xx

@apwilso Thank-you xx
Has your other half managed to relax and DTD yet? Do you think there's anything that will help to persuade him? Letting him choose some new positions from a Kama Sutra book? Costumes? Sexy new underwear? Special haircut down below? I have no idea really. I think I've always been the least adventurous in bed out of all my friends lol. Xx

@Annny27
Few of them have been picked to go won't be to long to rest r gone.

Glad your surgery went well and that's awful abot the ivf yes appeal it and hope you get it sorted 💚

@H0peing oh he soon got over his DB fear🤣🤣 he just finds it stressful because he wants it to happen so badly. Luckily with our week off and it being fertile week we've done it pretty much everyday or at least every other day. We usually don't get this opportunity as he works away all week. Fingers crossed!

@apwilso Sounds like you've both had a great week off! Definitely lots of opportunities in there! Hoping alongside with you for a bfp soon xxxxx

@H0peing thank you lovely x

Well another day in paradise ladies lol so can't wait to get the weekend off 😂😂😂😂😂😂, Where's everybody else in the cycle 💚

Congratulations H0peing.

Gorgeous puppies babyghirl.

So, I hope nobody will mind me putting this here, but I think I'm somewhere around 8 weeks pregnant. All symptoms have suddenly disappeared this week. I called my GP and the receptionist said it's too early for them to do anything, but as Imm clearly anxious, she'll get someone to call me between 3-6 this afternoon. She advised that if I was really worried I call the EPU. I said that I thought it was HCP referral only, and she said no, GPS don't have the time to make referrals now. So a I called the number, and guess what, it is HCP referral only. So I'll be sat here until late afternoon, and basically, well into next week, as the referral sonny even get made today, even the GP agrees to it. Sorry, just feeling really anxious and sad. As I say, I hope nobody minds me posting this here!

@Equimum I'm sorry to hear that you have not had a better response from the EPU as some do allow self-referral but I really hope that your GP can arrange a referral for a scan. From listening to other people talk about their healthy pregnancies, loss of pregnancy symptoms can happen in healthy pregnancies. I'm only 11 weeks but my symptoms have been off and on so far so I did worry and I really didn't know how this pregnancy was going until I had the scan this week. I'm not sure that loss of pregnancy symptoms will meet the criteria for an early NHS scan. I've only ever been referred by my GP for painful cramps, spotting or bleeding. If you can afford to then another option would be to pay for a private scan as most companies seem to offer these from as early as 6 weeks. I've used Window to the Womb a couple of times now so I would recommend them. I'm not sure where you are based but I know that there are several branches and the Bexleyheath branch had a special offer when I called to book my scan discounted to around £59 I think. I think there may be cheaper companies out there too. Xx

Thanks H0peing. I know loss of symptoms is rarely considered reason to scan, but I lived with this for three weeks in February, being told everything would be fine, and then at the 12 weeks scan, we found baby had stopped growing around the time the symptoms stopped. I can't spend four weeks like it again. I have looked at private places near me, and the two I've called can't see me until the end of next week. Apparently there's a lot of pregnant women at the moment (which may explain why my booking appointment has been made miles from where we live, at a random drs surgery I have no connection to, rather than at the clinic at my own). If my GP is as dismissive as I expect him to be today, I'll just have to book and wait.

Sorry, I've also realised that I've posted under my general MN name - I have been on here quite a lot under a different name. I've not just rocked up to moan today!

Congratulations on getting this far @H0peing it must feel amazing. I'm praying for you and baby.

@Equimum I know how you feel, you won't feel better until you get that scan. With my alst pregnancy I tried to keep in mind that 'At this moment I am pregnant, even if it doesn't last this baby deserves me to to be happy (not sad or anxious) so I am going to try and enjoy it'. I say that but if I get pregnant again il be a nervous wreck still haha

@Babyghirl got a busy week coming up as it's my birthday Wednesday so lots of plans. However I feel like the mother of AFs is on the way, first one post miscarriage. Been cramping now for 2 days, feel really uncomfortable, gassy and been in a foul mood. I actually apologised to DH yesterday as he was irrigating me by just existing tbh. Was snappy with him too. Hoping it comes soon tbh

@Equimum
Awww sorry your having it tough hoping they return for you to set your mind at rest. Hoping the epu fit you in but I think giving what you been through before they should fit you in without a referral.💚

@PeanuttyButter
Hoping she shows up for you to get it out off the road the first after a loss is always the worst one in your head all over the place. I'm cd 10 today so ovulation is soon so on it tonight lol. Hope you have a great week. And get spoilt rotton 💚

Thanks babyghirl. My DH rang our doctors surgery and said that they had misinformed me about the EPU. The reception just said that she though it was too early for them to do anything anyway! Will see what the Gp says later. Apparently it's yet another one I've never seen, spoken to or heard of.

Well ladies have received a letter this morning to say I reached the tope of the list for ivf 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 but my rmc consultant asked me to put on hold until I had my mri and he had results so have phoned his secretary to see if she can get him to ring me to c if he has looked at my scan results yet and to c if I can go ahead.

Yay, that's fantastic news babyghirl. I hope the end get their arses into gear and you can start really soon.

Miraculously, the male locus I spoke to today was way more caring and understanding that any of the female doctors I have spoken to to date. He said this wasn't usually criteria for a referral, but he felt it appropriate. He also apologised as he knows the service is terrible, but they will see me next Wednesday.

Fantastic news @Babyghirl so happy for you!

Thanks girls hoping I get a call on Monday to away forward 💚
@Equimum
Glad you got to speak to someone more understanding 💚
