Nice clean thread for us - may there be many a BFP on here

Empty that is a truly cruel twist of fate - leading to believe you would get help only to be let down in such a harsh way. Reading experiences like this make me .

I continue to pootle along. Yesterday I had another acupuncture session.

I have to say my GP is a real star. I went to see her yesterday. The hospital hadn't sent my updated details and she didn't realised I'd had a MMC . She was really lovely and let me sit there wittering on about how I felt a bit shell-shocked at first, but now I'm feeling really positive about the future. She suggested that I not wait 3 cycle to try again, but try after 1st cycle . She booked me in for follow-up bloods to check my BHCG levels: saw the phlebotomist this morning. So it's the waiting game I wait for the RTD...

Fingers crossed to all the ladies.

littlemiss Sarah and hopefully sorry rtd got you - total crap

empty so sorry your gp wasn't more helpful. Have you looked into a private consultation? Or could you go and see a different gp at your practice who might be more sympathetic?

Waves to everyone else

I've moved you down Sarah & Littlemiss, sorry the RTD got you really wish you better luck next month. Ivy I've added you, hope that's ok.
Digitalgirl I think I'm going to insist you add yourself to the TTC list in front of me if you're going to do all that testing. If you're setting yourself up for a fall you may as well have the whole 'moving down to the bottom' thing too Are you double-bluffing yourself yet? I've already caught myself thinking, "well, last time the timing was all wrong and you had no symptoms, so maybe..." Somebody slap me.

As you wish ladybee although it will be a spectacular fall as I'm already in the 'oxygen deprived' zone at the very top of the cd charts. And yes to the double-bluffing. I distinctly remember last time telling dh on the way to dinner with friends, 'i'll be drinking tonight I don't feel remotely pregnant' and four days later got a bfp. However those lack of symptoms continued all the way through that pregnancy so it's not particularly reassuring either. Thing is whenever we've timed it right I've conceived. No mean feat when you've got cycles as irregular as mine (been trying since last Aug but only had five or six cycles if you include the mcs). And we've definitely timed it right. But I'm thinking my luck might have run out on the old 'timing' guarantee, so will have to wait and see.

well done, and don't worry, I'm sure I'll be there to cushion your fall if the tumble is taken, but fingers crossed that -ve turns into a +ve in a few days. I don't think I've ever had a +ve before about 14dpo so I'm just hanging out waiting for one or the other.

Morning all Friday..YAY!

Working from home this morning and then off to a lovely hotel this afternoon for a slap up dinner and loads of fizz and a good nights sleep I hope!

Apologies for not keeping up much recently, I'm trying hard not to stress myself out with TTC.

Digitalgirl yooohoo up there in the clouds

Viv we are almost back as buddies again so I'll catch you soon for a little boobage action

Happy Friday all x

Wow, there is a lot to catch up on here! Apologies in advance for not name checking everyone, but I really do need to at least aim to get to work on time today, having been late yesterday because I stayed at home trying to make contact with the elusive NHS.
Hairy, sorry you had to take the methpoison stuff but at least you are now on the road to getting it sorted and can start making plans for the future. A three month wait must seem ages, but it will pass quicker than you think- don't even think of disappearing off this thread, it needs you!
Empty I'm so sorry for all you have been through, I wish I could give you a big hug. You have been through so much, your feelings are completely understandable, which is why I also agree that you really, really could benefit from going to see a counsellor. There is no shame in it my love, I have seen one for other things and she has helped me massively. I understand that you don't want the doctor to fob you off on to someone else and not help with the infertility issues, but I think you need to talk to someone about what you're feeling. It would also take the pressure off your relationship if you had someone other than your partner to talk to- especially someone who isn't going through the same thing. And if you find a good counsellor you may find that they are actually a huge help in dealing with the doctor- they can give you the moral support you need in asking for what you need from the NHS.
Viv, littlemiss and sarah sorry the RTD got you, that's crap. Hope next month brings better news. littlemiss enjoy the hotel, sounds lovely.
digital- glad to hear you are fully armed with baby-spotting paraphanalia, now maybe put it in hard to reach place so you won't be overly tempted until it is time. (Cue rummaging in loft on step ladder at six in the morning...)
Clareanna how are you feeling?
those with car troubles there is definitely something about this thread- I crashed mine recently too, I think I posted it on here in a wail of 2WW misery. Maybe it is the fact that we are all distracted with boob prodding and knicker watching. Actually that was probably just me.
Newbies welcome, sorry you're here and hope you are all doing ok, it will get better.
WYG I know your scan is today so fx, will be thinking of you. Let us know how you get on.
Phew, that was quite a long message, hi everyone else I missed. Right, better get in the shower and get going.

Morning 'HeverybodyPeeps.

Yeah! Friday!
I'm offski at the weekend which is rare!
So if it rains- my bad!

Did do a post on iPod but battery became all red and shouty and the bleedin' thing died as I was admiring my wit previewing and checking spellings.

So I should be getting ready and tootling off to work but hey, RL can wait.

Empty I'm not the best on here for giving advice so I just want to say I feel for you, talk to someone, anyone, it's a step in the direction you want to go and if it helps you and your DP great, if you find it doesn't, fine, you gave it a shot.
You will get there x

Sorry R2D2 gots you Viv, LMiss and Sarah Boo!

WYG good luck for today, let us know how you get on x

Those on the TWW hope the boobage prodding is ample and giving nice and kind signs.
Can I join?

Waves to all

Toodles!

clareanna we don't have the savings to go private (well we do but hubby won't use them because he's been brought up to never question doctors). I'm not letting them refer me to a counsellor because then they get to dismiss me as a job done and disregard me.

He's promised me for months that he'd push through a referral based on significant and sustained weight loss and I've done my part by losing about half a stone each month for I think it's getting toward like 9 months (had a couple off for my wedding) - now, because I happened to get pregnant for three sodding days - he's pulled that offer completely. Best I managed to drag out of him was to redo my day 21 hormone levels and make sure they were normal - and had to push for that.

I'm not going down the counselling road because it's pointless - it's like sticking an elastoplast on a broken leg - you might have a nice shiny Winnie the Pooh plaster on it - but it's still broken underneath. I don't want to get involved with any yoghurt knitting mental health do-gooders either - I just want some flipping answers about why it's taken me three flaming years to get pregnant - I want to know that my tubes aren't blocked, that I am in fact ovulating, that there's no underlying issues with my ladyplumbing - I'm not asking to walk in to an IVF clinic, or a giftwrapped baby (although cutting out the childbirth part does seem like a great idea )... just to know that there's no reason WHY it's taken this long... if there isn't - then fine, it's falling back onto my weight - but at the moment I'm just trudging along in the dark, utterly miserable, hoping that that's the key without any real guidance whatsoever.

Why does that make me unreasonable? I pay my taxes, I contribute to society, I'm part of a stable couple (although last night we had such a blazing row over this I threw my wedding ring at him and hit him)... yet I'm now completely disenfranchised from any NHS help - and it's not even help I want, it's just a diagnosis/confirmation there's nothing wrong... I'd kill for a diagnosis of even unexplained fertility issues - just to feel like someone gave a stuff.

Cutting me down because I got pregnant and lost it is like telling me "Oh you won the lottery once, it's going to be easy for you to win it again" - it's not.

Moral of the story girls - if you're miscarrying after fertility issues - don't bother going to the doctor. You'll be no longer deemed infertile and shunted back to the back of the queue for another year to wait.

Sounds good PrettyVacant lol at 'bizarre CM' My RTD due on Mon as well so will test then and NOT BEFORE

Empty - sounds like your GP is the real problem here. Can you get a second opinion? IME some GPs are really good at knowing about fertility stuff (eg my lovely GP who prescribed me metformin) and some are pretty clueless, unfortunately...

Oh, empty, your GP really sounds awful. I know you said that you're already seeing the understanding one, but are there no other options? My HV recommended that I sign up with a different surgery because I couldn't go to my GP with my PND out of fear not to be taken seriously. My new GP is lovely and so different. I don't know if you have that option, but it's worth a shot.

RTD got me this morning, so I guess this is CD1 for me.
I was full of positivity and hope earlier, thinking about getting all the supplements together, chucking my old charts and starting a new FF account, but when I think about timeframes, it seems as next month is an eternity away. And considering the fact that my LP for the WTF cycle was only 7 days max, I don't know if I even stand a chance. ~sigh~

Emptyshell, do you have any money of your own? that you could spend on getting those specific questions answered privately?

I know it must be incredibly frustrating, but I guess with the NHS they just have to rationalise where they spend their budget. The most likely reason for subfertility is the bmi, even if you are ovulating. The chance of pregnancy has been shown to reduce by 4% for each bmi point over 29.

See here for a study

And given there's only a 25% chance each cycle anyway, that's not good news for us with high bmi.

I guess the problem is that you've just proven that you can get pregnant now that you've reached this weight and chances are with continued weight loss you'll get pregnant again.

As far as the NHS is concerned, losing the pregnancy is a separate problem, and that again is just a matter of odds - until it happens more than 2x in a row and then the odds are so unlikely they accept there is something to try to investigate.

You know all this, I know. It just seems to me that you're focussing all this rage and sadness at losing a pregnancy that was so hard won, at fighting something that isn't actually wrong. And is really unlikely to bend. And it must be so wearing.
And I'm sure you don't want your life to be this way.

I'm not saying this right, I'm sure. I just hope that you'll reach a point where you will be able to accept the situation, and focus your energy of the things that you can change. I think this is why counselling is being recommended (and I think it is a good idea too, I had it for postnatal depression and it really helped). Your extreme emotional reactions to things like seeing pregnant women or small children, the pressure you're putting on yourself and the amount of stress that you must be under can't be healthy - whether or not it's helpful for ttc is beside the point .

I'm sorry empty, it must have been so heart-rending to have gotten that BFP after such a long road, so much work losing the weight, all the stress of month after month not getting anywhere - to enjoy feeling like you'd won the battle, and then to lose it. Just awful.

That alone is a traumatic event. Please don't deny yourself emotional support for this, simply because you're trying to battle the behemoth NHS.

I don't trust doctors anymore - I'm going back next week, going to request my next prescription but he's not getting inside my head any further after lying to me for months at a time.

They want me to be like this - they got it.

Hi all

Wow - a lot of catching up to do this week, but after taking 30 mins to read it all, I have now run out of time to go back! Great news Clare and Hairy so sorry to hear things are unsettled again for you. It seems it's been a bit of an up and down week for everyone, but I hope with the sun shining and the weekend about to arrive, your spirits will be lifted.

Well, I had a lovely week at Center Parcs and only one day of pain. Had lots of cuddles from my nephew who is nearly one and time with his brothers and sisters. Went for my scan today - drank loads and was almost incontinent in the waiting room and then they said it would be a vaginal scan so all the agony for nothing and it took me 2 goes to empty my bladder and then they said it was still a bit full .

Anyway, 2 lovely ladies sorted us out (so different to before) and guess what - saw a heart beat and a blob! It is 9mm and looking good (well as much as you can really see it!). They checked my ovaries and apart from a small cyst there is nothing to worry about there and they can't see a reason for the pain. We were so relieved, (esp DH) and I think we can now move into the 'we're going to have a baby frame of mind'! They gave us 2 pics to take away and it was such a better experience than last time. They even 'fudged' things a bit and said normally the trust would take an early scan as a dating scan and I'd not get another one until 20 weeks, but although they told me it was 9mm and 6 weeks, 6 days they put on my notes that it was too tricky to date and I needed another one at 12 weeks. They were very sympathetic and said they thought it would reassure me. So, we keep looking at our fuzzy blob pictures and being a bit giddy. The pain is still there, but I'm not going to worry about it now. I know I still have a while to go, but I must try to be positive. The symptoms are very vague and come and go, but I took comfort my SIL saying she didn't really have many either so maybe I should stop wishing to feel awful!.

I hope someone (Clare) joins me soon - I'm lonely at the bottom of the list! x

empty - change your Drs

That's lovely news WEG, so pleased for you.

emptyshell I know you don't want counseling, but you do need it. You are not coping. If you don't want to do anything through your doctors why not try calling the Miscarriage Association helpline, or looking for other fertility helplines?

And I agree you should look into changing GPs, you may get a more sympathetic one. A lot of it is luck of the draw.

Fab news wyg must have been a big relief- hope you can relax for a bit?

dorcas fanks for asking - I am fine. Cracked open the cb digi (ooh spensive) this morning as am now officially one whole day late- and it was still bfp - hurrah. Starting to feel tired, couldn't stop yawning at work today/ yesterday. Have just planned loads of jobs to do before the vomming starts.

ivy grr sorry rtd got you. Have you considered agnus castus for your cycle?

pretty if you do that with a cactus brush I'd hate to see you in charge of a loofah!

cheepz jolls and 8s where for art thou ? Hope you are ok?

sorry for minimal name checks, just jumping on quickly.

thanks Dorcas

Empty Is there any way you can change GP??? Yours sounds like a total arse, and i wonder if you could find out (word of mouth, internet search?) about different ones who might have a specialism in gynocology or women's health? I think you need to be pushy in changing GPs because my experience with GPs has been very mixed - from total dismissal to one recently who said to me that despite being 42 and not yet tried for 6 months, of course she would do day 4 and day 21 blood tests (very nice of her I thought)!

So what I'm getting is that you have an absolute right to find a better GP than you have got.

x

another post for empty - the more I read your story, the more outraged I am.

I really think you need to find a new, more professional and more sympathetic GP. If your husband has been brought up to not question the medics, that doesn't affect YOUR personal right to question them!!

In my area, a private 'tube xray (hsg) costs about £150. Could you stretch to that?

Half a stone a month is bloody amazing. Keep it up!

x

Good news WYG and Clare loving your plans before the vom stage starts!

Pretty ooooooooooooo excited!

Empty I am sad to read that you are so very low and agree with all the other ladies, change your GP and seek some kind of counselling, even if it is just talking to someone through The Miscarriage Association, it will help you to gain perspective again I promise, your GP need not know so it wont count as a tick in the box but seriously don't deny yourself just for that reason as it wont help you emotionally and therefore physically. I might have missed something from an earlier post but has DH had any tests at all (not sure how it works for guys)? You could also both have an infection screen at your local GUM clinic, which isn't the nicest of things but needs must and infection can prevent you falling or miscarrying and is something my consultant who deals with ladies who have had late losses told us both to have prior to our first appoint. He is NHS and my NHS Counsellor referred me, so they can do more that just listen. My GP wouldn't have had a clue about any of this and still doesn't I think. I wish you luck Empty and I hope the sunny weather helps this weekend. x

Sorry to you lovelies bitten by rusty I have a jug of Pimms for you if you fancy a glass.

Am sorry not to name check you all, am gonna have to go as I am not quite healed and am in agony from typing.

Evening all

WYG so great you had your scan and put your mind at rest. I'm going to have another glass of wine on your behalf.

Empty you've had such a difficult time, big hug for you. The fab ladies on here talk a lot of sense, and so I agree with the others who've suggested that you should change doctors (and surgery too, if possible). I think you could benefit from a fresh start with a different doctor at the very least.

Not much to report here except I've now decided I don't think I can wait another month to TTC. Saw a friend today who's due the same day I was, and felt really sad. Think we might just go easy forget the contraception for this month .

Got a day of fence shopping tomorrow, my life is so exciting

Have a fab weekend, I can guarentee it will be more interesting than mine!

too hot, too busy, too tired. DS has chicken pox, we're getting close to exchanging, work still being arses about my resignation. Good news is that all this has made TTC seem look like a relatively stress free excercise

congrats clare and wyg empty so sorry you are having such a crapola time, no useful advice but synopathise with your frustration

right cold bathtime for itchy spot boy

Ocht Viv, Sarahmia, Littlemiss & Ivy - pish

WYG good to hear that you are well and that the scan went so well. That must really put your mind at rest. Good to hear Dorcas is well and that Clare's CB peesticks confirmed things looking swell. What's going on with your left mammary then MrsPG??? LucyS are you feeling tempted?

Digi if you beat my CD72 at the top of the list I'll be surprised - welcome to the TTC part though and good on LadyB for outing you!

Waves to Bessie, hairy, MrsGmack, Cheepz, Freezing and the rest of the gang. BU - hope I haven't jinxed the thread with my car disaster (still sans car and latest is that clutch may need replacing). Empty I don't know what I can say that the others haven't already x Hopefully what happened with your DH's job, I think I missed that?

I'm away to pack - we're going to Bristol for the weekend to see my SIL and rest of DH's family for a first holy communion. Won't have internet access so if I'm not back on later will catch you all on Monday - have a great weekend!!

Thanks for asking moofold - he didn't get made redundant, and neither did anyone else in the office. It seems that the whole thing was an exercise in scaring the junior members in the office into working harder, as far as we can work out. DP is not impressed and has further meetings next week to express his irritation.
