@DuchessofSuffolk Ah I really hope it doesn't arrive and this is it!! 🤞 you have such self control not having a stash of tests at home or running out to get one 😂

Just seen my SIL for the first time since she announced her pregnancy and she has a v definite bump.... Felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack.
Am I ridiculously dramatic?? 😩 I feel so silly. X

@dabs9 absolutely not!! I had the same breakdown last weekend when i saw my friend who announced she was pregnant. She also text me this weekend to tell me that she had her scan date through with a really excited face, and I was a bit like, come on girl, show some compassion, you know? I felt sick, I've not replied to her yet with everything going on with us on Friday, I just couldn't articulate something positive back to her!

What did your SIL say with the bump? Was she considerate? Hopefully you were able to get away and move away from it a little xx

LeopardLover · 05/06/2023 12:06

@Annapolis35 @SnookyPook Haha, thank you for the positive vibes but unfortunately this isn't just cramping, it's the dull ache! With my son I had loads of cramping but no aching 😊 It was only due yesterday, however, I felt it was coming on Saturday night, but my toddler's tantrum shut it all down 😩 if it doesn't arrive by tomorrow I'll take a test for you guys (because I have loads haha) but I'm expecting it any hour now! Xx

LeopardLover · 05/06/2023 12:08

@GCS34 Geez, your friend needs to read the room!! 🙄 Sorry she was being so inconsiderate. X

LeopardLover · 05/06/2023 12:10

@SnookyPook P.S so sorry you had a MMC 💔 My toddler is also 2 and I'm 37 😊x

Bubblesandtroubles · 05/06/2023 12:41

Welcome @SnookyPook
Sorry to hear about your MMC 😔
Another 37year old over here 🙋🏼‍♀️ My little one is 17 months.
@LeopardLover I'm still 🤞🤞🤞 for you.
Xx

Ugh that’s really inconsiderate @GCS34 Whenever I get pregnant this has definitely taught me to be more considerate and sensitive of others around. I had a friend who I told too what was going on and she bluntly just texted saying she was pregnant… I explained our situation (again) and she said she didn’t know how hard we were trying. I definitely told her last autumn we were having a tough time of it 🙄 Anyway, people are arseholes.

@LeopardLover Well hopefully it doesn’t show! Sometimes I’m just relieved when it finally does show as there’s no thinking “maybe…” and you can move on to the next cycle and have a few days mental respite.

Yeah I was a bit confused why she said it. Also what didn't help was her message prior that said "I’ve no doubt you’ll have children one day". What the heck is that supposed to mean? 'no doubt' - come on, a bit more positivity please! Anyway, rant over, I don't like to be bitter, although it's veeeeeeeeeeeerry hard sometimes 😂
I can't believe your friend just randomly did that. And didn't know how hard you were trying? Do you want a blow-by-blow account of every time we have sex so you can assess if that is 'adequate' enough? Knob. 😆And yes, they are.

@LeopardLover living my pregnant dream through you - how late are you now? 😬

SnookyPook · 05/06/2023 12:58

Thanks for the welcome guys!

@Annapolis35 so sorry for your loss too. Hopefully little 🌈 babies for both of us soon.

Ah! Nice to have another few '85 (and '84 I guess!) Vintage mums around! @LeopardLover @Bubblesandtroubles

@GCS34 it amazed me how thoughtless some people can be 😔 hope you're ok. One of my best friends has literally just had a baby on Saturday, and one of my SiLs is due in July.... Thankfully both understanding but it does hit hard sometimes, especially as I really thought I'd be joining them in October and now I'm not.

dabs9 · 05/06/2023 13:10

@GCS34 your friend sounds like she's wrapped up in herself. I do get that people want to and should celebrate their pregnancies.. but the person to do the with at that very moment is probably not the one who is going through hell to reach that same goal 😩 I'm sorry that happened.

My SIL doesn't know we're trying (although I imagine the whole family assumes) so I can't really expect her to consider my feelings.. I just didn't really speak to her and we left as soon as we could.

@Annapolis35 again, your friend sounds incredibly insensitive and really what business is it of hers how hard you're trying?! It's so frustrating. People really are arseholes! Lol.

@SnookyPook hi! I'm really sorry about your mmc.. hopefully it's true that you're more fertile after mc and you get good news this month! Xx

Amy95 · 05/06/2023 14:22

Hi ladies bit of a update gp referring me to gynecologist 🤞 I've passed another clot took a photo of it this time was going post on here but didn't know the guide lines it's discusting but I don't know what else to do the doctors are useless , my mum seems to believe I was pregnant my blood test shown I wasn't so I really don't know what's going on 🤦🏼‍♀️ she suffered a mc and this is what she was passing so I'm not to sure what's going on xx

@Bubblesandtroubles @Annapolis35 Thanks both! I'm just keen to get cracking. It's a bit concerning how many days of pain I've had though 🙃 I wouldn't mind if it didn't come with the aches haha.

@SnookyPook Vintage mums, love it haha! 💜

@GCS34 Haha if only! It was due yesterday so I'm not very late, I'm just impatient. 👀 I'll be MIFFED if it doesn't arrive tonight! "I've no doubt you'll have children one day." 🙃 So formal too. Bog off! I hope she has a girl and looks rough hehehehe (no offence to anyone else there, but they do say girls suck the beauty don't they 🤣).

@Amy95 So glad you are being referred! What did the GP say about the clots? Di you normally pass big clots or is this completely out of the ordinary? Also, how are you feeling? Xx

She said some women get them and totally normal I said what till someone is nearly passing out that's classed as normal she said I need to speak to the gynecologists, just still big clots xx

@SnookyPook Oh gee I know right? and hey btw! 🤗I'm really so sorry to hear about your loss in April. That's amazing how you're already feeling up to another shot - good on you! ❤I too am part of the 80's 30+YO club, so theirs a few other grandma's here!
Sucks for a babyshower too. Did you tell your close friends / in-laws that you had a MMC? how were they? Glad they are understanding though.

@dabs9 @LeopardLover @Annapolis35 yeah I don't think it's people's fault. I know when it's my turn I'll want to tell the world, but I would like to think I would have more decorum with people who are struggling. I'm quite lucky (lucky? Maybe not lucky) that I have 2 of my best friends who are having to have fertility treatment too, so it's nice that I have some close friends who 'get' it. That massively helps! Don't worry i'm over it 😊I've had to jump a lot of hurdles over the years, and one thing I am is resilient, so I and you girls will hopefully be part of the pregnant party soon! Until then, lets be bitter! 😂xx

@Amy95 Great news you're being referred to the gyne. When is your appointment or don't you know yet? Do you have heavy periods usually? Hopefully the gyne will be able to help you understand what's going on. Don't discount what your mum said though - be kind to yourself and hopefully you'll be back on the wagon soon and strong enough to make lots of holiday babies!

@LeopardLover hhahaha sassssssssssssyyyyy!! But yes, me too haha! My BIL is having a little girl in august, and his partner is so considerate and kind. She said to me the other day that all her and my BIL wish for is for us to be pregnant, and that he was so scared to tell us when they found out. Bless them. THAT, I'm on board with! Watch me be really smug when it's me and all this will go totally out the window! 😂jokeeeee ....👀

Don't worry about it and it's not TMI - you've had a scary thing, that's totally normal to talk and ask. Have they tested you for endo before did you say? I swear someone said they had, but I can't remember. Hope you're feeling okay and holiday vibes are not long away!! x

I'm so glad you're getting a gynae referral.
To me it sounds like a mc but I've never had one myself. Have looks after lots of people who have though and the big clots are defos an indication. Maybe your hcg had dropped too low to show a pregnancy had been there by the time they did the blood test?
I don't know but I'm glad you're going to hopefully get some answers for this.
Would also want to be tested for endo like @GCS34 said. Xx

dabs9 · 05/06/2023 15:50

Wow @GCS34 @Annapolis35 I think I was mega PMSing this morning. Just read my message back and I was an utter bitch!!!!! I do apologise. I didn't mean to slate your friends 😬

I'd just sent a huge message into my family chat telling them our situation (living so far away, these things are always done by text lol) and I was highly emotional, if that's any excuse. X

Oh bless you! Has anyone replied to your message? Hopefully they have and their is some compassion for your situation!
and don't be daft - I wasn't offended by your message. It was totally true, I'm just trying to remain diplomatic and level headed today, rather than going and punching her 😂
@Amy95 I'd ask about endo when you have your appointment, and maybe do a bit of reading and see if it sounds like something you've struggled with xx

Annapolis35 · 05/06/2023 16:44

@dabs9 Oh don’t worry at all! It was absolutely true haha, so don’t think about it at all. Ohhh! Did that go okay? I’ve been surprisingly open with people about what we are going through and it has helped to talk.

@GeoSmed That is a really weirdly loaded way of saying that. I just don’t understand people! Yes my husband is certain my friend said it deliberately knowing what we are going through and that she is a psychopath 😂

@Amy95 Have you taken a pregnancy test? From my experience, it took weeks for HCG to come down after bleeding and a procedure but it may be different if you are early on and everyone is different.

Annapolis35 · 05/06/2023 16:51

Sorry @Amy95 just seen you had a blood test and no HCG. I have read before that people who have chemicals have lines that get fainter and then they start bleeding a few days later so that might have happened. But hopefully they’ll find out what’s going on either way. It’s horrible not knowing. Sorry!

Sealover123 · 05/06/2023 18:48
