Assisted conception after recurrent miscarriage part 5

[Mel3062]

Hope this is right ladies ...

I like your theory, nanny, and to back it up, this last pregnancy I got absolutely hammered on a girls' night out, out until 3am, at 2dpo. Also my first pregnancy ever I could not have drunk more if I'd tried as I got a bfp just after Christmas/New Year.

nanny fingers crossed for you

sue and brown you shouldn't feel guilty, it is natural to want another child

that report is a bit OTT, as the list of things to avoid is ridiculous, I am sure I do all the things it tells me not to

Well, looks like it was a strange test yesterday, superdrug own had no second line today.
There is always next month...

Sorry to hear that, Nanny, but you didn't compare like with like, so it may be that the Superdrug one is less sensitive.

Sue you're in my thoughts. Nanny here's to a more sensitive test!

So sorry to read your posts nannyits so horrible to get your hopes up and then have them dashed again.

How are you doing Duggs and Sue? Had been managing really well and then a sad song came on radio Friday and just burst into tears! To be expected I guess!

It's now just over four weeks and my stomach had started going down but last five days is really bloated and still look pregnant. How long has it taken it other peoples to go back to normal? Hoping its pmt rather than retained products. Think will give af another week to appear and if not do a pregnancy test in case miscarriage has not completed.

God we need some good news on here.....

We do pebbles. My tummy has always gone flat pretty quick :( expecting af to of been early again after biopsy but due today and not much happening.
I think we all can relate to your tears, sometimes when we stop to think it all gets too much and too unfair.
Hubby out of hosp at last they thought he had anklyosing spondilitis like his dad/ arthritis of spine but no sign of it yet thank goodness. His dad is very stooped and xNt move his neck :(

That's a relief about your DH, Mel. x
Pebbles , I've only just recently lost my stomach from my April miscarriage. Pred greed being the main culprit :(

Hey pebbles! I'm here. Busy with puppy ( god it's hard work) not yet house trained Thinking if this next IVF round brings a 7th mc then to throw in the towel and move onto surrogacy. Surrogacy scares me but it would mean I wouldn't have to be pregnant again. Still can't quite contemplate how I'd even start on that journey. How about you chick ? What did dr Gafar say?

Hope it arrives soon Mel and you must be very relieved about your oh, everybody seems to be having to deal with so much at the moment! Just as well you are all such a strong group of women!!

I don't blame you Duggs. and you would get your longed for family which you deserve. Good luck with the puppy.

It seems the dose of hydroxy is right so started taking it three times a day. Just need af to arrive but is obviously going to be delayed...

Brown mine is just so bloated, is normally pretty flat diary from pmt bloat. Fingers crossed it is just that.

Thanks ladies I do feel it's just a matter of time as we know he has either anklyosing spondilitis or rheumatoid as his brother has the other one :/ af very funny it's been like black bits no red at all :/ hope everything's normal :/

Well I did a pg test today to check no retained products and for once was so happy to get a negative!! Spotting has stopped so thankfully seems to be over.

How is everyone ekes doing, is v quite...,

Sorry else not ekes!!

Good for you pebbles. You always seem so bright. I know you are not. I'm ok ovulated yesterday so bd then DH off to far east. Dr s app 2 nov. started 25 mg pred today - reluctantly but no choice really. Have decided with DH adoption is probably not for us and if the next 2 IVF cycles don't work then will look at a donor egg cycle at serum next year. If that fails too... Then we have the animals and nice holidays I guess ... Can also borrow nieces and nephews.

I have good days and bad days but as has all been going on for so long I think I have just had to learn to live with it!

I feel like you Duggs and not sure yet if adoption would be for me, think I would also rather try the donor egg option as will also answer the question of if my eggs are crap! As you say if not will just have to get in with life and have fab holidays!!

How are you feeling?

Just the sound of people quietly banging their heads against a brick wall, I think .. ! It's astonishing what you do learn to live with, I fear that one of these days it's all going to come crashing down on me and I'll end up a gibbering wreck somewhere. Anyone feel like joining me? ;)

I do worry about how it will be if I ever get a live baby of my own - I have such rose tinted views that I'm sure I will unravel. Would be lovely to go into some "camp" and just get pregnant and get past 12 weeks with other people in similar situations and then come out when safer. Like champneys and ARGC if I was rich I'd go there.

Mite than anything I find it is frustrating, why can't we get pregnant and just enjoy it and expect to have a baby at the end like everyone else?? Sometimes I feel so jealous it hurts. Have been known to shout whenn

To shout when in the car and have terrible road rage which relieves some frustration!! I am not mad, honestly......

Duggs ARGC and Champneys for 12 weeks sound perfect!!

Went to church on Sunday ( not my ususal one as we were travelling) and there was a couple who just had a prem baby so we were saying a prayer for them. I normally don't cry but I just couldn't stop. People probably thought it was us! Found it really embarasing... But guess everyone copes with all this stress differently.
On a positive note DH started his new diet, supplements and acupuntrure He should have another sperm test in 4 weeks time so with all those changes we should see some results by then.

I have had several uncontrollable crying experiences in church too! It's as if all normally repressed emotion comes out once in those 4 walls. And I'm not even a very good church-goer; once or twice a year.
Good luck with DH's new regime. I'm sure it will have a marked benefit.

I know what you mean about the whole church thing, I only go for weddings etc but visited a couple of Cathedrals on holidays and lit a candle for my losses which made me blub!

Hope you are all well.
Been to collect daughter from uni- totally wrong course so looks like I'll have her for a while yet!
Got biopsy results after 3 weeks of no vits or med it's down from 48% to 3.29% amazing!!!!

Ohh poor dd but company for you. What does that mean then mel ?

Well I have to discuss next steps on mon with prof quenby so it will be interesting. I'm amazed how much it's dropped! Under 5 is nOrmal level so yes no wonder I hAd a chemical at 48%! Hope youre ok duggs x
