@Indianna2006 it really is all very unglamorous!! However, the thrush pessary comes with an applicator so I'm keeping that for the cyclogest 🫣.

@MrsJGrealish oh hun I'm so so sorry. There's deffo something to possibly speak to the GP about or someone privately, implantation could be an easy fix? If you decide to keep trying that is, I know you've been in turmoil about the whole thing.
Your poor DD aswell! At the shit end of the stick, it will keep you distracted but seriously...the universe owes you little bit of luck and I sure hope it heads your way soon 😘 xxx

TheBirdintheCave · 21/03/2023 18:23

@MrsJGrealish Shit I'm so sorry on both counts. Your poor daughter! What a crappy time for your family at the moment 😢

@FfoxRedN 9dpo and still high. It won't drop until AF comes on Sunday.

@Indianna2006 To be honest it feels like I'm only doing it so that I can say we really tried everything. It has to be before my holiday. I just can't wait any longer. I just want it over with.

@TheBirdintheCave they won’t even say the protocol? They should surely at least be able to do that as they must know to give you the meds! Not good service at all!

@MrsJGrealish im so sorry and I hope your daughter isn’t in too much pain!

MrsJGrealish · 21/03/2023 18:40

Thanks girls..honestly the support on this thread has been something else. You are all so lovely ❤️

Really praying you all are cradling your rainbow babies soon 💗💙 I'm still not sure about trying again. But my mind is occupied with my lil girl atm 💕

TheBirdintheCave · 21/03/2023 18:53

@Alexis7890 Nope. I've just been given a list of meds and told to pay for them with no explanation as to what they do and how long I'd be taking them.

The only thing they said was that I'd be told more at my consent appointment but implied that I was expected to order the meds before then.

@Indianna2006 ah good that makes me feel better 😂 I doubt my body will be kind and do anything early 🙄 but one can hope 🤞🏼

@MrsJGrealish oh I'm so so sorry lovely ❤️ sending big hugs and love I hope your DD gets seen quickly too what a whirlwind for you xxx

Indianna2006 · 21/03/2023 19:17

@MrsJGrealish oh hun. So sorry. What a head fuck. Deffo take time to mull over how you feel and your decision. Deffo agree with @FfoxRedN that GP for sure may be able to help with the early losses. So food for thought when you feel ready to think about it if that’s your choice moving forward.
Your poor DD too 😫 wishing her a speedy recovery. I’m sure you will be fab mum that you are looking after her. Don’t forget about yourself though 😘

Alexis7890 · 21/03/2023 19:53

@TheBirdintheCave have you used this clinic before? They don’t sound like they are being very helpful for you!

TheBirdintheCave · 21/03/2023 21:33

@Alexis7890 We started going there in January so haven't actually had any treatment yet. I could go elsewhere but that would take more time.

OP posts:
Alexis7890 · 21/03/2023 21:39

@TheBirdintheCave hopefully they are more communicative when you are actually having treatment with them!

TheBirdintheCave · 21/03/2023 23:21

@Alexis7890 Here's hoping 😂

calimc83 · 22/03/2023 01:52

@MrsJGrealish oh lovely 😞 I'm so sorry to read your update..thinking of you and your DD 😘 xx

bunnykins123 · 22/03/2023 06:21

@TheBirdintheCave can you call them and say you refuse to pay anything until you have a overview of the plan? That's not unreasonable! Surprised that's not been shared with you.

@MrsJGrealish you poor thing, sounds like you're going through a rotten time at the moment. I hope both you and DD are okay 💕

@bringmearainbow anything creamy I would say is fairly infertile. After AF for me, I would dry up then go onto ewcm but think it varies massively and there isn't any norm. If it had stretch, I would get on it!

bunnykins123 · 22/03/2023 06:23

I have also woken up with one eye badly infected with conjunctivitis. It's so sticky and yuck. My eyes swollen up badly - looking mighty fine over here 🫠

FfoxRedN · 22/03/2023 08:18

@bunnykins123 oh no! That's rubbish! Always the worst! My thrush had me up most of the night 😵‍💫 I seriously wanted to sit in the bath at one point.

@TheBirdintheCave are you going to test lovely or wait until you think you're 14dpo?
I deffo think an email to the clinic asking for more info is worthwhile, might put your mind at rest slightly xx

LuckyMoonstone · 22/03/2023 08:25

@FfoxRedN argh thrush is the worst 😬 I have managed to avoid it so far this pregnancy which is unheard of for me!

TheBirdintheCave · 22/03/2023 08:53

@bunnykins123 That doesn't sound pleasant at all :O Can you get drops for it?

The clinic conceded that I could pay after my consent meeting with the nurse on the 30th if I wanted.

@FfoxRedN I keep asking them but they won't tell me. Yesterday I was just sent the same initial report document as they sent me in February, the one following my first consultation 🙄

Re testing, my husband needed some more vitamins from Amazon and some FRERs accidentally fell into my basket 😅Friday is 12dpo so maybe I'll waste one then. I have zero symptoms though so it's more of an addiction thing that believing I have any chance at all.

Really sorry your thrush sounds so bad :( Is it any better this morning?

OP posts:
FfoxRedN · 22/03/2023 09:15

@TheBirdintheCave I honestly didn't have any symptoms this time round. Still don't really, a bit queasy yesterday morning but other than the thrush nothing. No sore boobs, no headaches, not falling asleep as everytime before. It's always a possibility, until the big fat Aunt Flo turns up!!

Fingers crossed for Friday 🤞🏼.

It's a little better, antibiotics are done now too so hopefully will clear up quickly 🙏🏼 xx

TheBirdintheCave · 22/03/2023 15:39

So the FRERs arrived and I obviously used one on a 2.5 hour hold as I have absolutely no willpower 😅 Can you guys please tell me that this faint thing is just a really bad evap and these FRERs are dodgy? I know it can't actually be real I just need to hear it from someone else I think.

bringmearainbow · 22/03/2023 15:43

@TheBirdintheCave 😂 I would have done the same. I would say it's really hard to say and could be either. I can see it but I've had indents that looks similar. What dpo are you today?

TheBirdintheCave · 22/03/2023 15:45

@bringmearainbow 10. I think it would be more obvious if it were real so I'm just going to tell myself it's an evap and use the other one in a few days to confirm it.

OP posts:
FfoxRedN · 22/03/2023 15:55

@TheBirdintheCave I do see it, I would deffo try on FMU, either tomorrow or Friday. If it is there is should be darker by then 🥰 xx

bunnykins123 · 22/03/2023 16:10

@TheBirdintheCave probably! I tried to get some last week for DD but there was a national shortage so not sure I can be arsed to trapse to the pharmacy for the good stuff to have sold out. I defo see it! Like others say, wait till tomorrow and test with FMU 🤞🤞

@FfoxRedN oh no! You poor thing. That sounds awful. Have you got some cream to help?

LuckyMoonstone · 22/03/2023 16:15

@TheBirdintheCave Personally I think it looks clearer than an indent/evap 🤞 i never got them when I’ve used FRERs in the past, they were either totally blank or positive

FfoxRedN · 22/03/2023 16:25

@bunnykins123 yeah I have the cream, it's less in the day and more at night, but hopefully this eve I'll be too exhausted for it to keep me awake 😂.
How's your eye holding up? Xx
