How is everyone? Sorry for the silence (for anyone who remembers me on here before). Had to take a little break again as it was all getting a bit too much for me.
Currently under the recurring miscarriage clinic but have only had my 1st appointment (about 7 weeks ago) and still waiting for further news.
We started trying again this cycle (after surgical management back in March) and currently around 5dpo. Trying not to stress too much and just take each day as it comes

Hey, I hope you're doing well today! I'm sorry to hear of your losses, I hope you get good news soon, that's all we can do, take each day at a time, everything crossed we all get there soon 🙏

Had my scan at EPU this morning, relieved it is intrauterine, they said I need to come back in three weeks to see if it's viable. Still feel up in the air, going to be the longest three weeks of my life, still no symptoms apart from bloating. Trying to remain optimistic.

@RememberZen great news! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

My AF has started today but kind of don’t want to even try this month as I imagine DP will need longer to see improvement from the supplements, and it’s much less stressful not having the 2ww.

Sending all the luck

Hows everyone ?

Im expecting aunt flo next week

My partner had an nhs SA this week

We have another fertility appt next month

Im getting my amh done privately next week

Have they checked 4 polyps ?

How long did your partner have to wait for the SA? We haven’t engaged with the nhs at all yet.

Was guna be 3 month wait
He told them to ring with cancellation and they did

He had a private super drug 1 in May.

We are under fertility clinic and they want another done late aug early sept

So true eh

AF was due on Saturday, never came, what did come was flipping Covid. Started feeling unwell on Friday night. Spent most of Saturday and Sunday in bed, did a Covid test on Saturday and I work for NHS and was on call, couldn't risk going in if it was Covid. Negative Saturday but very very strong covid positive today.

Had some bad cramping this morning which I thought was AF arriving but so far just have spotting on wiping only. Think I'm having another CP. This is what happened the last time. Wasn't going to test until AF was 4 days late which would be tomorrow, but now I can't bring myself to test because a CP plus every single symptom of covid is going to tip me over the depression edge that I've been dancing along since the last CP at Christmas.

I'm utterly miserable 😔

Oh no @jellyfish2210 sorry to hear that, 💐

@jellyfish2210 oh I'm sorry you're so unwell, I would avoid testing until you're a week late in the hope if it's a CP you avoid seeing it fade away? 😔

Sorry to hear this @jellyfish2210 it could just be spotting before AF shows up, I unexpectedly had this with my last period. I really hope you're feeling better today! 🙏

Couldn't wait any longer and did CB "ultra early" test, BFN.

No period and apart from the spotting (blood streaked discharge) on Monday when wiping, there has been nothing further. I want to hope that was implantation bleeding or something but also think my body is just gubbed!

After 4 days of being really ill, I slept better last night and definitely feel a lot better this morning so that's something at least.

Got my ovarian reserve ( amh )
Tested privately today

Hows everyone else ?

@worldwidetravel2017 Who did you use? Are you happy with the results?

I'm doing ok, a bit numb I guess. I think a part of me stopped hoping it will happen 😔 I did a full check up with medichecks which included a day 3 test and I'm overall healthy. I'm also going to do a day 21 test. And probably a scan and AMH reserve in September if nothing happens by then.

A private clinic

Results will likely be told to me next week

Many private clinics will test amh.

Im on my 2nd Letrozole cycle
( due to pcos )
Even tho i was ovulating alone
Etc

Keep the hope

I’m skipping this month. Partner will have been taking ubiquinol and other supplements for almost 3-months by my next fertile period so hoping we stand a better chance then.

How are you getting on @jellyfish2210?

Hey, how’s everyone doing? I’m having the weirdest cycle after my miscarriage at 6 weeks last cycle. I’m on day 37 but don’t seem to have ovulated, and AF hasn’t arrived. This is my BBT chart. I got my peak on a clear blue ovulation test on day 13 (though I normally ovulate around day 20ish) so tried then. Then my bbt didn’t go up so I tried again around the time I normally ovulate, but again my temperature didn’t rise. Then I got some ewcm so tried again, but still my temperature hasn’t gone up 😩
My follicular phase temperatures (which I guess is all of them) have also been weirdly high for me (they’re normally around 36.2). No idea what’s going on! I guess it’s an anovulatory cycle so would just like AF to come now!

@InWithPeaceOutWithStress I'm much better than I was. Still negative test so looks like another wonky cycle for me!

Absolutely knackered and just want to sleep but the rest of the Covid symptoms have almost cleared up now. And thankfully DH and DD seem to have avoided it!

Wonky cycles all round 😕 Hopefully we will all have better luck next time around.

Hi everyone, I’ve been away a while and just popping back to see how everyone is. We are no longer TTC and are starting to make changes that mean it would be very unlikely to start up again… but I do have moments of hope,
I’m 38, DH nearly 47 and had 2 MMCs with surgery in January and April this year. We already have a 10 year old.
My cycles have been totally disrupted since the second surgery (baby was 8-9 weeks) and 3 months on I haven’t had a normal cycle yet. Just waiting for period at the moment, all the pains but no sign yet. Didn’t dtd much so under no illusions im
pregnant. Starting to move on anyway and turn the spare bedroom into a dressing room, but no contraception…

@CurlyWurly1991 I'm starting to accept that it's not going to happen for us either and have started turning our spare room into a little gym. We have a 5.5 year old and don't have the money or mental capacity to go through any medical assistance. I have days where I'm gutted and days where I realise that life isn't so bad with one. I always envisioned having two children but since our MC in December my cycles have been totally off and I can't keep getting my hopes up only to be disappointed by the BFN.

Hope you find peace with your situation x

We had a fertility appt ...

We live in hope ...
