[Skl2021]

New thread ladies 🌈✨💕

Thank you so much @Skl2021! Such a great space thank you for keeping it going xxx

@Skl2021 thank you so much for making us a new thread 🥰

@Sassy144 I'm so glad you got some closure from your GP and also that you're continuing with your counselling! I had the same as you and no follow up after my mc. I got in touch with the docs last week as I was worried about super short luteal phase and I got a patronising paragraph back about everybody's cycles being different and not to worry as I have been pregnant so we know I can get pregnant. Cheers for that doc 👍🏻🤦🏽‍♀️

@Sassy144 yes this group was amazing for me so didn't want it to end for you all but I also didn't want to step on any toes now I'm not really in it that much so asked if anyone wanted to set one up xx

@peachiekeen your welcome it's a great group 💕 x

Thank you @Skl2021 ❤️

Hi All, I've been trawling these threads for a few days now. A little background...had a CP in Dec 2019. MC at 9 weeks in Oct 20 (baby had stopped developing at about 6w3d) and a MMC this month. Baby had had a heartbeat and looked great but stopped growing at 8 weeks. I had the surgical evacuation (horrible term) and now looking at the next steps for future pregnancies.
The fetus has been sent for testing but I am nervous about the NHS wait list for the RPU and their treatment even after testing.
I have looked at CRP, Dr Quenby and a few others mentioned. My question relates to Nova Clinic, I notice some people have used their online process. Do you need to get all the tests done privately elsewhere to get prescribed medication for immune/NK cells through them? I am going to try my GP for some tests rather than wait for the RPU and hope they will test ASAP. I am in Colchester, Essex so looking at travel to London, Coventry or doing this online. Thanks so much for reading this far if you've made it and good luck to all of you 🥰.

@Skl2021 thankyou 🥰

@peachiekeen wow that's awful, just a little bit of understanding wouldn't go amiss! I also have quite a short luteal phase, around 10 days.

@peachiekeen 🙄 that was super helpful of them! What cycle are u on now since your MC? X

@Sassy144 I know! I was livid. I could have told myself all that. I was only worried as this last cycle the luteal phase was 6 days. Which seems impossibly short. And I'd never tracked with OPKs before so that could be the sitch all the time. I'm not going to test this month so I'll try again next month to build up a picture on my own.

@calimc83 I'm now entering the 3rd cycle since 🤞🏼 although not actively trying this month as 2 weeks out of the month I'll be abroad ☀️

@FfayeN so sorry you are joining us. I can't imagine how you must be feeling lovely. I don't know anything about the clinic but sending lots of love your way x

Thank you. Hopefully get some answers along this journey one way or another and maybe help anyone else in the same situation too.

@peachiekeen 6 days is short, but it might have been a one off for you! With opks it is still hard to actually pinpoint ovulation too. Still would be nice for your doctor to speak to you properly about it if you are worried, honestly it's mad how it's pot luck depending on which GP you speak to.

@peachiekeen I'm sure a short luteal phase means progesterone might be low. I also was having super short cycles and found out I was hypothyroid so my hormones were all out of whack, so it's worth pushing your GP for tests. I did mine privately through Thriva so I had something to prove I wasn't right and GP followed these up with their own tests. Xx

@peachiekeen ohh lovely!! Have an amazing holiday, will do you good to get away I bet x

Hi, I’ll be joining this thread tomorrow so thought I’d introduce myself now. I’m expecting confirmation of an MMC tomorrow at 9 weeks after a long two week wait between scans. I had some spotting between six and seven weeks and a scan showed I was only measuring 5 1/2 which was impossible based on the last time we had sex.

I’m pretty devastated. My husband and I have a 16 month old miracle son who took 15 cycles to conceive due to low sperm motility. This pregnancy only took three tries (with a chemical in December) so we were so thrilled and relieved.

My brother and sister in law are a week behind us (having got pregnant by accident) and now I’m going to have to watch them go through scans and give birth around the same time as I would have been :( The jealousy and bitterness is unreal.

@peachiekeen I wish GPs weren't so dismissive. It's such a heartbreaking process to go through and to not get support it's just so hard. I'm sorry they weren't helpful 😞

@FfayeN I'm sorry your going through this. My understanding is the best is a lady in Birmingham (can't remember the name) or Dr Shehata in London/Epsom.

@calimc83 I'm okay thanks! I don't think I could go through all this without O tests 🙈 I'm so completely knackered by the evening that I just don't have the willpower to be bding like a 25 year old again 😂 I do think O tests add to the stress though which I don't like. Do you think you'll test again tomorrow?

Also ladies - I'm 1dpo (well, I thought I was 1dpo as got my CB peak on Sat) and tonight I had a big blob of cloudy ewcm (soz all - tmi I know, I know) what do you think? Haven't O'd yet? Old ewcm? Dodgy hormones? Argh.

@bunnykins123 I don't know 🤷‍♀️ I hate seeing negative tests! Argh...managed to hold off today. I used to think a OPK's add to the stress but I think it's more strep now not knowing when ovulation actually happened 😆..also I don't have the stamina to be at it every night! 🙈 Could the 'blob' be left over erm....'man stuff' 😬🙈 x

@calimc83 I thought that but we haven't dtd today or yesterday so I don't think it can be. The more I overthink it (!!) the more I think I have cramps?! I usually O 24 hrs after peak urghhh confused! You are absolutely right about them adding to the stress. You said you had covid - I've heard that can also delay O? Oh god no, I've not got the time for that. I value every second of sleep I get these days 😂

Arrrggh, I’m well and truly down the POAS rabbit hole again. I got this squinter on a One Step, although I thought I was getting negatives on Friday, but I guess either my urine was more diluted then or the negative was wishful thinking, as I’m only CD20 (since my early MC) so I think it being anything new is incredibly unlikely…not that that will stop me POAS tomorrow am of course 🙄

And here it is….

Step. Away. From. The . Little. Cup!

Thanks @skl2021 for the new thread!

Hello everyone! Currently 9DPO and been testing BFN but not out the race quite yet for the month!!

@curliegirlie I can see that line! Hoping that is a new miracle for you ❤️

@Skl2021 thank you for the new thread! I also saw the good news of your scan - I'm so so happy for you 💕💕
