POAS: With only the IC in stock...someone help us 🤣

[FfayeN]

You asked for it......😘

@bunnykins123 how are you feeling? ❤️

@MrsCristianoX I'm alright thanks! Think it's hitting home what DHs fragmentation results really mean. I'm annoyed that I didn't test him sooner! How about you? Where are you in your cycle?

@bunnykins123 I think if you have a child you automatically think it's something that's happened you. There's so much more that goes wrong with us. I'm ok 6/7 dpo now? Satisfying my need to poas by using OPKs because they mean nothing anyway and I like seeing 2 lines 😂

@MrsCristianoX that's defo one way of doing it! Do you think you manage to cover your dates this month?

@bunnykins123 it's hard to know. I ovulated late but did hit peak and peak -1. That was only managing one OPK a day. It's too hard in work. But I had no ovulation cramps (like unheard of for me) so I'm doubting I even ovulated🤷‍♀️

As for the OPK use now, I'm very aware I've lost the plot 😅

@bunnykins123 @MrsCristianoX I emailed the EPU this morning and confessed my Cyclogest taking crime 😂 They seem surprisingly chill about it and said I could have another prescription, just got to try and organise a way of getting to it. I'm glad no one shouted at me 😬

I had a tiny bit more spotting this afternoon after a walk around Brighton with my husband. I haven't had any since Saturday so it was a bit of a surprise but I'm hoping it's from my cervix following the scan yesterday. There hasn't been any more since.

I still feel very scared but there's nothing else I can do but wait and see if I stay pregnant :(

Currently planning to book a final private scan for the end of week nine to see if it's grown or not. That will be about Dec 30th so not too long to wait.

Nausea's no where near as bad today as yesterday. This is not looking good guys :(

@TheBirdintheCave mine came and went lovely. I remember it being bad around the 6 week mark then it tailed off through week 7 if I remember, then slowly came back. I've had a few mornings lately of feeling a bit 🤢 xx

@calimc83 Mine got a bit better and then much worse with my son BUT in combo with my poor growth, I don't see that it will be coming back :(

@TheBirdintheCave really try not to read anything into that. I had it terrible with my first MC. This one has been barely anything, with my worst week being week 10.

Ahhhh DH has just tested positive for covid 🙄 so that's really going to help his already terrible spermies! Anyone successfully conceive after DH had covid?! I feel like absolutely everything is against us at the moment.

@bunnykins123 we’ve conceived twice after both having covid 2 years ago. They were both MCs but I don’t think that’s covid related. I didn’t know there was a link between covid and fertility?

@bunnykins123 Us! 😂 But obviously its not going to end well so it seemingly did affect my husband's sperm after all.

I've cancelled my booking in appointment now after trawling the internet for any positive stories from people in my situation who know their dates. They all end badly. There are no positive outcomes when successive scans show measuring behind and limited growth.

@LuckyMoonstone I'm convinced my MC were because of covid I've had it three times whilst pregnant 2 losses and obstetric cholestasis with DS just after I got it the first time. The other two times were early pregnancy 🤷🏼‍♀️

Still not AF CD 44 🙄

@mummatara covid 😡 I've been struck by norovirus have been in agony since 2pm😭

@LuckyMoonstone @TheBirdintheCave @mummatara thanks ladies! There could be something in it. Reading online, it can contribute to further spermies fragmentation for 3/4 months after the guy gets covid. Which I guess could be attributed to miscarriages but I do know people who had covid and had successful pregnancies so who knows. I'm basically screwed as DHs sperm is already rubbish 🤦‍♀️

@MrsCristianoX noooo! That's no fun. I hope you're not feeling too grotty!

@TheBirdintheCave what exactly are you googling? You are only about 5ish days out (is that right?) I think it's waaaay to early to be assuming this isn't going to work out. If you were like 2 weeks behind then absolutely, I'd be agreeing with you that it doesn't sound great. But like I said before DD was really behind and she's happy and healthy (and was a 10lb of yumminess at birth!)

@TheBirdintheCave but there isn't limited growth? The babe has grown a fair bit between scans! Step awaaay from google hun, it's not helping you (I'm saying this in the nicest way 💕💕)

I have not been here in a while.... Trying to catch up with everything but not sure it's manageable at this point 😅
Totally lost track of time but I panicked about NK cell chat + symptoms couple (?) weeks ago and decided to take couple weeks off internet. What happened during my 'time off' (all ended well) was that I had a strange sensation one evening that something was not right. I went to the bathroom, wiped, saw pink blood, wiped again, proper bright blood this time and a BIG clot came out. It was awful.... I did not expect any good news... I had a scan and things were okay but then was told if bleeding does not stop, the pregnancy could be 'washed out' with blood... New fear was unlocked. The baby was moving and the thought of something happening to it, the thought of it being expelled by my body while still happy and alive was terrible.. The bleeding stopped soon after though, nobody knew what caused it. Maybe I had a hematoma, maybe it's from placenta embedding itself into the lining... That happened couple weeks ago. It was a nightmare evening but DH was really supportive.

How is everyone?
@FfayeN have you received your NK testing results back?

I have been thinking of you all every day ❤

Sorry my message reads so strange with no emotion.. It's just hard to remember that evening/night! Part of the reason what I was delaying posting as was scared to relive it.

@TheBirdintheCave how are you? How far along are you at the moment?
@theblueflowers are you doing okay?

@MrsCristianoX oh no norovirus is horrendous 😩 but at least you didn’t get it this time next week!

@bunnykins123 I was Googling for stories about people who were measuring three or four days behind when they are 100% sure of their ovulation dates. They all end in miscarriage through finding either slower growth at the next scan or no heart beat at all.

@mummatara well that is something that isn’t talked about enough then! I hope my covid 2 years ago hasn’t buggered me up 😕 I had it right at the end of my pregnancy with DS (in fact I was still testing positive but symptomless weeks later when I was induced) and I often wonder if that’s why I had a bad birth with him. No at the hospital mentioned it carried risks though

@lovenaps Oh that must have been so scary! I'm so glad your little one is ok. Sorry you had to go through that xx

@MrsCristianoX My extreme sympathies. I had norovirus earlier this year and my god was it horrible. I hope it passes really quickly.

@TheBirdintheCave I caught up with your story and just want to reassure you ❤Seeing HB on two different scans is really good. And your little one is growing! I think when there are any concerns, they usually tell you. E.g. I had a slow HB with pregnancy #1 and I was told that and that a re-scan was needed. Usually if they do not ask you to return for a re-scan, I think it means they aren't concerned ❤

Oh another reason for my absence, I have been ill for over a month now! Not pregnancy symptoms just some virus. Saw a NP but they said they can't do anything or give me anything, just to wait it out. It's exhausting and was giving me constant anxiety it my do something to the pregnancy (got the most horrific cough). It seems to be getting a little better now but still...

Also wanted to say something re symptoms as I know/see a lot of people worry about disappearing symptoms. My symptoms disappeared at 7 weeks. Then they came back a few days later, disappeared again at 8.5 weeks and did not come back so it can happen ❤
