Hi ladies. I have started to feel a little overwhelmed with our usual thread and we are at different stages of our journeys now. Please feel free to leave this one if you don't feel the same but I feel so invested in your journeys and don't want to miss any news. Hoping this is ok, I don't think you can do DM as a group?
Hope you are all doing well and if there's anyone I've missed from the usual bunch feel free to add 😘😘😘

@bunnykins123 Great news :)

FfayeN · 28/10/2022 15:40

@bunnykins123 that's great news! Also reassuring about AMH, I'm sure the last time mine got tested a year ago it was at 0.36, but I'm still giving out eggs! Nice to know it's not the be all and end all xx

bunnykins123 · 28/10/2022 21:19

@FfayeN I remember you saying - you remain my hope in this journey! I have a friend who is also now 25 weeks with an AMH of 0.3 so it shows it's not highly important. Saying that I'm a wee bit older than you both so I'm battling a good dodgy eggs in there too 😂

@TheBirdintheCave @mummatara thanks gals!

MrsCristianoX · 28/10/2022 21:34

@bunnykins123 that's fab news 💕 did you ever get the mri? I might have missed you saying, sorry xx

bunnykins123 · 28/10/2022 22:20

@MrsCristianoX thanks lovely! I didn't 😶 I was too scared, something about those big mri machines freak me out big time. I had a scan today and all was normal so I think unless something had been picked up today, I will probably leave it.

MrsCristianoX · 28/10/2022 22:25

@bunnykins123 the noise they make is pretty intense 🙈 no I think the procedure today should be enough to check everything properly, Xx

bunnykins123 · 29/10/2022 10:42

@MrsCristianoX I agree! It gave me all kinds of fear just thinking about it. If I had loads of symptoms then I would but I really don't have much (ovulation pain which I think is mainly normal). How are you doing? Xx

MrsCristianoX · 29/10/2022 17:29

@bunnykins123 just mega period ache last night. All good today. Not much happening ttc wise..hopefully the last missed cycle..raging about the Q10 thing though!! I think I'll keep using it, at one point it was recommended for use with my current meds xx

Indianna2006 · 29/10/2022 18:00

@bunnykins123 glad it all went okay. And fingers crossed for some post luck. You never know!

mummatara · 31/10/2022 11:56

Just incase no one see in the original thread

had my scan sac is still there so will now have to go for surgery 🙄 I'm frustrated as we're 4 weeks on and could have had surgery from the get go but there is no way to have known that and it was worth a shot at natural management

FfayeN · 31/10/2022 14:57

Just been for my gynaecology update from the generic testing as a result of my last MC, luckily everything is normal. She did offer me a scan but I refused 🙈. I think she thought I was crazy. Scan booked for 9w2d when I'm back from training away. I'm already dreading it and feel anxious 😩 xx

mummatara · 31/10/2022 14:59

@FfayeN big hugs glad all is ok ❤️ I bet she doesn't hear no very often you probably shocked her! At least going away will help take your mind off it🤞🏼 hopefully. When do you go?

FfayeN · 31/10/2022 15:02

@mummatara yeah she did say it's not very common but she's learnt that nothing surprises her anymore 🤣. I think it was for her curiosity as much as mine lol.
I go on Sunday, to be honest I'm looking forward to getting away I just hope nothing happens whilst I am 🙈 xx

Indianna2006 · 31/10/2022 17:37

@FfayeN ahh bless you hun. You did well to say no! Fingers crossed being away keeps your mind off things.

@mummatara ahh I did read hun. Thought I’d reply in here though. Sorry it’s still ongoing. I was same. Waited 4 weeks and then ended up with surgery anyway. 😩 it feels like such an ordeal. Hugs.
but it was quick. In and out. An I was so glad was it was done. I was very crampy that night and next day. Worse is been overall tbh. But nothing painkillers and hot water bottle didn’t fix.
man I stopped bleeding after a week. An got a negative test and ovulated like a week later! 🙈

it will all be okay. Hope Wednesday comes fast and there is a sense of relief once you know it is done.

FfayeN · 31/10/2022 19:24

@Indianna2006 thank you. How are you doing lovely? When is your next scan? Xx

OP posts:
Indianna2006 · 31/10/2022 19:49

@FfayeN yes I’m all okay. Starting to pop out now 🙈
my 20 week scan is very early December. Think we are waiting and finding out sex then.
midwife 16 week appointment is next Monday. So hope I get to listen heartbeat to reassure me a bit. But I know they don’t always do it. So if I hear it. I deff won’t have another scan but otherwise who knows 🙈

FfayeN · 31/10/2022 20:16

@Indianna2006 oh wow the weeks seem like they're flying past, I know for you they probably aren't 🙈. Aaaw yeah that would be lovely! xx

OP posts:
Indianna2006 · 31/10/2022 20:24

@FfayeN I think it’s going a little faster now. The first bit to dating scan is OH SO SLOW. Think time goes backwards there.

I’ve been busy off half-time with my DD and got a busy few weeks for my birthday so time is passing faster than it was. Especially now I feel much better. Time does drag when you feel crap.

TheBirdintheCave · 31/10/2022 22:10

I had a 'dry run' with the Ferti-lily last night. It's kinda difficult to get in but I think I got it right in the end 😂

I think I'll end up ovulating late due to Covid. Did the virus mess with anyone else's cycle?

Toddler and I are still testing positive so that's our anniversary day out on Thursday scuppered too :( I just wanted a nice day with my husband as it was also our due date :(

calimc83 · 31/10/2022 22:28

@Indianna2006 oh wow 16 weeks already! Eek..I feel like time is slowing down for me 😩. When I had my 16 week appt the first thing I said was I'm nervous about u trying to find the heartbeat and she said she'd do it straightaway so I wasn't sitting there all anxious. Found it really easy and I have an anterior placenta as well. It'll be fine I'm sure 😘 xx

MrsCristianoX · 31/10/2022 22:36

@TheBirdintheCave Ive started putting data into my iPhone this past year so so I checked and the month I had covid (July) was CD1 and I ovulated at my normal time x

MrsCristianoX · 31/10/2022 23:12

I have zero chill. It's embarrassing. I actually had a longer bleed but still ovulated at the same time. Suppose it depends on where you are in cycle when you test covid positive, who knows🤷‍♀️ but that's my experience x

bunnykins123 · 01/11/2022 07:12

@TheBirdintheCave you've reminded me I need to get practicing with mine too. I find it really painful and hard to get in. I just can't seem to find the knack of it to do it easily! I also O same date when I had covid. I actually fell pregnant that cycle too 🤷‍♀️

@FfayeN oh bless you, I think I will be the same. I cried at my 16 week appointment telling the midwife not to check for the heartbeat - she found it straight away and it was so reassuring once I'd heard it!

@Indianna2006 I can't believe you're almost 20 weeks! That's gone so quickly!! 💕

FfayeN · 01/11/2022 10:03

@bunnykins123 oh I can only hope and pray I make it that far!
The fertilily shouldn't really be any different to trying to insert a tampon, however it just needs to go up a bit more. It's easier after DTD obviously as it's erm...more slippery and relaxed 🤣 xx

OP posts:
bunnykins123 · 01/11/2022 11:44

@FfayeN 🫣 without sounding totally dramatic, it doesn't feel like inserting a tampon 😂 I wonder if I'm doing it wrong! I really want to give it a go this time but I worry that all the fiddling around with it will dislodge the spermies that actually did successfully make it up there!
