@HoneyLemon29 Good luck with your scan today. I am sure everything is going to be ok. Keep us updated. Will be praying for you xxxx

myrainbowjourney · 13/03/2022 10:18

@HoneyLemon29 great numbers! Let us know how your scan is.

@LJF234 I'm not great today. Yesterday was test day for my clinic and I got a faint line. But it's the same this morning so it looks like a no go and I just feel really sad.

Thank you for checking in ❤️

How are you?

Hope everyone is doing well xxx

Hi everyone, just a quick update. The scan was an awful experience with past trauma and the staff had to try calm me down it was awful 😞 they've seen a sac but they aren't allowed to confirm 100% until they see something inside. They said for 4+5 they don't expect too. Progesterone was 60+ and they said anything over 30 is good and they've taken one last blood test which I'm still waiting for results for but going on past results they aren't concerned at all. Re scan in 2 weeks. They also found a small bleed next to the sac and said it's normal to form when baby implants and won't cause a problem x

LJF234 · 14/03/2022 06:26

@HoneyLemon29 sorry you didn't get the reassurance you wanted but all the numbers sound good so try and stay positive for the next two weeks. 🤞🤞 how are you feeling symptom wise?
I completely get the anxiety before the scan, was your partner able to be with you? I was on my own the whole time when it happened before and I'm not sure i can do that again...
@myrainbowjourney sending lots of ❤ and got everything crossed that you will test again today and see a stronger line. And if not it will be OK. If you need to come on here and have a rant then do!!

I'm OK thanks, finally got my static smiley on Thursday which was CD 19, so just waiting now. My cycles since my op have all been 26 days or less but I'm going to assume this one is a long one or I'll drive myself mad getting my hopes up for no reason

Mummyme87 · 14/03/2022 08:02

CD11 here, expecting Ov on CD13, but OPKs no where near positive yet, so we will see. I know in previous cycles it has gone from low to peak overnight. I’m doing BBT but keep forgetting to do it as soon as I wake, and I have quite restless sleep so who knows if it’s accurate. So far have DTD on CD7 and 10, will aim for tonight and CD13 aswell

Mummyme87 · 14/03/2022 08:03

@HoneyLemon29 sorry your scan didn’t give you the reassurance you needed, and was a generally unpleasant experience. Do you have any symptoms yet?

Bundaberg84 · 14/03/2022 10:54

@HoneyLemon29 that sounds good though! I understand your situation of course and I guess I'd be the same, unless I see a little heartbeat in the right position, I wouldn't feel relieved yet. But only a couple of days to go!
With AF arriving and after a day of just sleeping and feeling sorry for myself (and wine, also maybe gin tonics, who am I kidding) I started the tests at the clinic. Called them at 9 and was there at 10 with the first tests, that was so fast I couldn't even start to get nervous. They did an ultrasound and were happy with the follicle count and size, so there's that I think? Also bloodwork, wasn't as bad as I thought (normally if I have to get bloodwork done in the morning I faint). I don't think I will hear from them until I did all the tests. Next week will be another ultrasound and hycosy, and the week after the last ultrasound and another blood draw.

HoneyLemon29 · 14/03/2022 12:47

Afternoon everyone. Hope everyone's doing okay?
I feel my tiredness is so out of control I've just been woken by the EPU ringing and was so disorientated on the phone 😅
I've just got levels back from yesterday after the scan, so far they've gone
15DPO 884
17DPO 2406
19DPO (42 hours later) 5456
Scan still in place for 13 days unless I get negative symptoms 😮‍💨

@Bundaberg84 im sorry AF arrived but glad to hear they're starting all these tests now to hopefully give you some reassurance 💜

@Mummyme87 I literally have no symptoms other than extreme tiredness and the occasional wave of nausea 😅

@LJF234 yes partner was there 🙂 and no symptoms other than tiredness and feeling sick every now and then, good luck in your 2WW xxx

NewtoTTC87 · 14/03/2022 14:23

@HoneyLemon29 that's great to hear! Everything looks really positive, really happy for you :) xx

@myrainbowjourney how are you doing xx

myrainbowjourney · 14/03/2022 16:01

@LJF234 thank you ❤️ the line was pretty much gone. I don't really know what to do. I've emailed the clinic but haven't heard yet. I don't know why it isn't happening 😢

@NewtoTTC87 I'm ok thanks, hopes dashed again. I don't know what's going to change to make this a success for us. It just doesn't feel like anything is working. This journey is so tough, I just don't know how much more I have in me.

How are you?

@HoneyLemon29 all sounds really promising 🥰

NewtoTTC87 · 14/03/2022 16:22

@myrainbowjourney I am so so sorry you're feeling like this. I know not much I can say that will make it better right now but know that, of course there is hope, there is always hope.
Why don't you chase the clinic again? Having some sort of next plan will make you feel better. Or have you got a further apt booked already? x

myrainbowjourney · 14/03/2022 19:26

@NewtoTTC87 thank you ❤️

They came back to me and said they think it's likely the trigger shot still in my system. I need to take a break from the meds at some point (this or next cycle) but they've said not to try at all when I take the break and I find that thought quite difficult.

How are you doing lovely? xx

NewtoTTC87 · 16/03/2022 12:06

@myrainbowjourney Yes I can understand. It may also be nice to take a break maybe? You know have some time off from meds and not trying to give your mind some peace from the pressure. How long is the recommended break? Only 1 cycle? If so that will literally fly by!

I am ok... I had the 7 week scan yesterday where I see a heartbeat which was amazing however my feelings didn't last as they also found some bruising (subchorionic hematoma) and told me that I could have bleeding. I saw the most unhelpful & unsympathetic doctor. She was so blunt. She kept on saying things like 'you are ok..for now' and kept on mentioning miscarriage. I left feeling so crap and terrified. Can't help it but I am very fearful now. I don't want to think of worse case scenarios as I am fine now but angry at her for putting this fear in me. I am not saying lie to me however she could have got her message across & outlined the risks in a better way. Anyway, apart from feeling a little scared now, I am doing ok xx

Mummyme87 · 16/03/2022 12:32

@NewtoTTC87 I’m glad your got to see a HB, but so sorry the doctor was really non reassuring and caused more worry.
I see a lot of subchorionic haematomas on very healthy pregnancies.

Mummyme87 · 16/03/2022 12:37

I am CD13, my usual ovulation day, but am yet to get a peak on OPK. However, I had shot up today so I’m expecting a peak later today I think, tonight maybe

myrainbowjourney · 16/03/2022 13:10

@NewtoTTC87 yes it's only a cycle off. Just feels like what if that's the cycle I get the follicle on the right side. I could miss my best chance. It's such a mind mess up!

Oh I'm so pleased you got to see the heartbeat ❤️❤️ how are you feeling generally?

I don't know what to even say about the doctor you saw. Unfortunately it just doesn't surprise me, I don't know how people in these jobs have such a lack of empathy sometimes. Please try not to worry. I think doctors like to sit on the fence with their words sometimes, so not to say anything that they can get called up on later on. I'm sure everything will be just fine. Lots of people have bleeds and have perfectly healthy pregnancies. Sending you lots of love, and hope you can find the happiness for your scan again.

@Mummyme87 fingers crossed your peak is around the corner

NewtoTTC87 · 16/03/2022 21:10

@Mummyme87 Thank you. That makes me feel a bit better. She also said it was quite small so I’m hoping nothing comes of it.
Good luck in your peak 🤞

@myrainbowjourney yea that’s understandable and your mind will start running away with what if’s. Try and not let it run away. If you have to have this cycle off, you’re doing the right thing and that’s that. Use the month to unwind and take the pressure off yourself. It will fly by anyway!
Thank you. Yea I’m worried but I’m trying to control it. It’s hard not to pay attention to every pain or tinge I feel now and go toilet 😞 I feel well generally apart from that. I don’t have much sickness just waves of it.

HoneyLemon29 · 17/03/2022 10:55

@NewtoTTC87 so happy your saw the heartbeat, and what an awful thing for them to say, when I had my scan of just the sac you can see an odd shaped sac next door which is also the bleed which is now making me panic 🥺
They said it will reabsorb or come out 😣

@Mummyme87 how exciting. How's your chart looking today?

@myrainbowjourney fingers crossed everything works out soon 🥺

I've decided to book a private scan for Tuesday when I'll be 6 weeks exact. I can't wait 2 weeks especially since they couldn't give me definite answers last time :(

Mummyme87 · 17/03/2022 14:54

This is my chart today. So thought I may have peaked yesterday afternoon but seemingly not as no signs of ovulation yet (I usually feel aches and pains all day) and I POAS a couple of hours ago and was even darker! 1.21 which I’m super happy about. So yeah, I’m CD14 today, giving me a longer cycle but feeling positive that this will be a super mature and strong egg. Have DTD CD7, 10, 11, 13. Hoping we’re covering it, also hope ovulate soon as I’m getting tired now 😂😂

@HoneyLemon29 I understand the booking a private scan, two weeks is a long time to wait at this stage of pregnancy. I’m hoping because I work in the maternity system I can get bloods and scans done easily. One of the few perks of the job

Mummyme87 · 17/03/2022 14:56

Forgot to actually add my chart

@Mummyme87 fingers crossed for you 🤞 I hope the 2WW goes quickly for you x

Emily5674 · 21/03/2022 17:13

Hi guys , hope you are all well - just a quick question I am 7 weeks post my ectopic surgery and have had 2-3 days of brown spotting but still no period yet :( just wondering did anyone have similar while waiting for there period after ectopic.

@HoneyLemon29 I am sorry your app didn’t go the way you wanted it must be so tough all the waiting around to make sure everything is ok - hope your private scan is better and you get some relief :)

HoneyLemon29 · 22/03/2022 09:26

Thank you @Emily5674

It's this eve at 7pm. I have a whole day to try burn 😅 I'm so nervous

myrainbowjourney · 22/03/2022 09:40

@Emily5674 I can't remember when my period came back, but I don't think 7 weeks is uncommon. Try not to worry. Can you contact the EPU or womens health department that looked after you and ask?
It's such an emotional time, I think definitely use these people and ask what their expectation would be. They sort of discharge you and leave you (they did with me - no follow up which I found odd) which isn't really good enough.
Sending lots of love xx

@HoneyLemon29 good luck for later xx

HoneyLemon29 · 22/03/2022 19:44

Baby in the right spot with a heartbeat 💗
