I'm really sorry to hear that @Carportforme it's just so cruel.

It's very frustrating re the NHS wait times, everything with fertility just seems to take so long. If you do have the option to go private I would go for it, anything to get things moving a little quicker. I don't know if you've had tests previously but I have a friend who had several miscarriages and it turned out to be a thyroid problem causing the issues. Worth looking into maybe if you haven't already?

Let yourself grieve and be kind to yourself 💐. Here if you need to chat x

@EmTTC2 Hello, I'm really sorry for your losses 💐. Hopefully your appointment comes through soon 🤞, be kind to yourself at this time it all becomes very all consuming doesn't it? Are you TTC at the minute or waiting for your appointment? X

Carportforme · 19/10/2024 23:00

Thank you Northernsoul90. I have had some tests so I am hoping that will bring down the prices I have to pay. I guess the long NHS waits just show how common these issues are! I didnt mention above but everyone at the local EPU has been really kind this week when I've been back and forth to have bony HCG levels checked and then this morning the lady who gave me the latest figure on the phone suggested that I might want to "wait until a week after my period is due before testing in the future to avoid this upset". I was really annoyed. Does she not realise that I want to knowxesrly so I can get the data in case I need it for a fertility specialist. I really wasnt in the mood and have made a serious complaint! X

@Carportforme I'm really sorry you're going through this again. Sending love to you 💖
I'm not even surprised the EPU said that to you, my GP told me that if I miss a period, don't test and wait until I miss 2 in a row to avoid heartache 🙃 and if I am taking folic acid anyways I'll be fine.
Don't think they understand at all!

Thank you. We are continuing to TTC while waiting for our appointment. Who knows how long the wait could be, so got to try in the meantime & have hope x

Exactly! Do these look like positive OPK to anyone?

RoseannesMamma · 20/10/2024 12:30

Hello everyone,
Please would I be able to join? I’ve had a MMC and two chemicals this year while trying to conceive our second. They all happened in quick succession and now the last few cycles have been nothing! It’s driving me mad!

ChristinaB1203 · 20/10/2024 14:28

@RoseannesMamma I sympathise with. We are TTC our second. Had 2 chemicals this year. Conceived first with no issues and within first months.
I'm exhausted and feel like I'm going to lose my mind!
How long have you been TTC?

EmTTC2 · 20/10/2024 14:56

ChristinaB1203 · 20/10/2024 11:53

They are very nearly there. I'd test every few hours. They may go peak by tonight x

RoseannesMamma · 20/10/2024 15:12

@ChristinaB1203 Yes same! Our first was really quick with no issues, then this time round conceived really quickly again actually but all losses! We started in February this year, this is cycle 5 since the last loss now, cycle 8 in total!

ChristinaB1203 · 20/10/2024 15:25

@RoseannesMamma Basically the same as us. I had my coil out in Feb, and fell right away but ended. Then took a break, tried again in summer, fell again in September but again ended in loss.

I've had bloods done at GP and all normal and fine, no reasons.

How old are you? I'm 28 and our little one is 3.5 years. We can get pregnant just can't stay pregnant!

RoseannesMamma · 20/10/2024 17:06

@ChristinaB1203 No nothing really came back from bloods here either! I’m 32 with a 2.5 year old. People always say “oh you’ve not been trying that long” and they’re right but also I just think loss after loss is grinding me down already! We were getting pregnant quite easily and just not able to stay pregnant like you but now nothings happening at all!

Northernsoul90 · 20/10/2024 18:19

@Carportforme Thats really insensitive and disappointing I would definitely complain. Hope you're doing okay x

@EmTTC2 Sending baby dust your way then 🤞xx

Northernsoul90 · 20/10/2024 18:25

@RoseannesMamma Sorry for your losses 💐I'm also currently ttc our second. I had a mmc before our first then had my daughter who's now 3. Had a chemical in June this year now on cycle 4 since then... it's so hard isn't it. The wondering and waiting and I feel like I can't get excited now when I see a positive. I'm in the TWW but trying to keep my mind occupied with other things x

@ChristinaB1203 They look almost positive, test again this eve? 🤞

ChristinaB1203 · 20/10/2024 18:31

I've tested this evening and the test is lighter than the ones this morning. Do we think that was my peak?

RoseannesMamma · 20/10/2024 19:10

Thank you @Northernsoul90 , I’m so sorry you and everyone else are on this thread 🤍 Good luck with this TWW 🤞🏻

Oooh it could well have been. I’m sorry I couldn’t work out your tests before whether the lines were the same or not. Is it a similar ish time to when you’d usually expect your peak?

ChristinaB1203 · 20/10/2024 19:18

God knows my cycle are WILD ever since my first miscarriage.
Last cycle I had positive OPK cycle day 9. This is after chemical and cycle day 14 so probably about average!

It's very annoying when people say that. And when people so if it's meant to be it will be!

RoseannesMamma · 20/10/2024 19:26

@ChristinaB1203 Ah gosh yes sorry I forgot you saying about your chemical in September! CD14 sounds about right for a peak so hopefully it’s all good! Think I’m a couple of days behind. Last two cycles I peaked at CD12 however CD12 today and nothing yet!

@ChristinaB1203 Thank you and goodness, what a ridiculous night for a doctor to say. I seriously wonder at that one, what a twit!

Carportforme · 21/10/2024 20:52

Sadly confirmed chemical miscarriage today. Starting to bleed a bit now. Now on one MMC and two chemicals and losing hooe. Time to get some serious testing done, sadly.

RoseannesMamma · 22/10/2024 00:14

I’m so sorry to hear @Carportforme 🤍

ThatSnugSwan · 22/10/2024 09:06

@Carportforme Very sorry to hear this. Hope you will be ok 🤍
