@squirrelnutkins1 hiya! Sorry to hear your feeling rubbish hope you feel yourself again soon.
My anxiety has been through the roof the last couple days & im glad it’s the weekend so I can take back Control! Looking forward to a relaxing weekend with my DP & doggies

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 05/07/2019 18:08

@squirrelnutkins1 feeling very deflated today jist cant be positive about it! Have had loads of brown discharge so I guess least it’s better then bright red but jist feel lawful that I have another week to find out!
Sorry your finding the meds hard hope it gets easier!!

Can I ask a very sensitive question to those that have lost a pregnancy how long was it before you got a negative test? If you don’t want to answer I completely understand!

I hope every one else is ok? Xx

squirrelnutkins1 · 05/07/2019 18:44

Thanks hun @GreyC sorry your anxiety isn't too good. Hope you can have a lovely weekend with your OH and doggies.

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF sorry you're struggling. Have the clinic said any more? The waiting and not knowing is so hard ☹️ you can still have a positive tests for weeks after a mc unfortunately. Hang on in there hun, you're not out yet 💕

Hope you're OK @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF. My miscarriage was a missed one so think my body still thought I was pregnant even though the baby didn't make it much passed 5 weeks. I was 9+ when I miscarried but was still getting positives for 2 weeks after. I think it's different for everyone though ❤️ really hope your Bran is sticky xx

Have a wonderful break @veeboo, it did me the world of good despite af arriving on day 2. See you soon

@GreyC sorry to hear you're feeling anxious, your weekend sounds good, enjoy

@squirrelnutkins1 how are you? Sorry the meds are affecting you, not long til your scan though. Do you take any type of trigger shot or the drugs just do their magic? Still feeling hopeful for you 😊

@Kelly199 how's things with you?

I'm in tww limbo. I've been feeling really good and optimistic but today I'm not sure what I feel. I feel a bit guilty that I am feeling so good, so that's affected my mood a bit. Off to the cinema tonight so hopefully it'll take my mind off things.

Hope everyone is doing OK who I haven't tagged xxx

VenusStarr · 05/07/2019 19:36

Sorry @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF I mean your bean ❤️

Kelly199 · 05/07/2019 20:36

@squirrelnutkins1 hope you'll feel better by tomorrow! Like you said, hopefully by already taking the last tablet, the symptoms will ease off. Been boiling today!! Hope you've had a nice day xx

@GreyC sorry you've been having bad anxiety. Hope you'll feel better soon. Try and have a nice break the weekend xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF so sorry you're going through this. So unfair. Good that it's brown and not bright red like you say!
It is annoying you have to wait another week!
Hopefully everything will be ok ❤️ thinking of you xx

@VenusStarr I'm ok thank you. I'm CD11 today so been dtd as in/nearing fertile week.
Have my acupuncture tomorrow, so looking forward to seeing what that's about. A little nervous though!
Wishing you luck for your cycle!! Glad you've been feeling good. Don't feel guilty at all!! It's better than feeling down all the time! Hope you enjoy the cinema tonight, what are you going to watch? Xxx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 05/07/2019 21:02

@squirrelnutkins1 no they haven’t said anything I think I need to let them know how I’m getting on with the injection as some point so will probably on Tuesday as they only gave me enough till wed. Yes I thought that would be the case was going to test over the weekend but like you say could still be positive for a while just trying to prepare myself for Friday as I’ll cope much better if I had some sort of idea before hand especially as we are going away straight after!

@VenusStarr thankyou for you sharing aswell! You shouldn’t feel guilty for feeling good about things why shouldn’t you? Fingers crossed for you! Hope you enjoy the cinema what are you going to watch?

@Kelly199 thankyou! It is unfair!! Fingers crossed for you aswell!!

So I finally told my best friend everything today that has been going on and she was fab we had a good laugh at all my ups and downs through the treatment obviously not this part but she has truly been amazing and I feel at least part of a big weight lifted off me!! I should of done it ages ago!!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 06/07/2019 09:10

So did a clear blue digital this morning and it’s gone down 2-3 😢

VenusStarr · 06/07/2019 09:43

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF 😢 I'm sorry. It might not mean it's over. Can you call the clinic? Sending love, being in limbo waiting for my scan was really hard Flowers ❤️ Xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 06/07/2019 09:52

@VenusStarr I know I’ve read a lot of threads about them not being accurate but just feel we are doomed! Not really sure what I’d be ringing to tell them but thankyou xx

squirrelnutkins1 · 06/07/2019 10:38

@VenusStarr thanks for the positive vibes 💕 no trigger shot that I'm aware of. I think the scan will just show what's going on in there and then I'll go back round to clinic for a plan. Still feeling tired and headachy but not quite as bad. How are you today? Xx

@Kelly199 thanks hun. Yeah it's been soooo hot. I'm actually glad it's raining today 🙊 I'll be moaning about it by this afternoon tho lol!

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF hugs and positivity to you Thanks xxx how is the bleeding now? So pleased you've been able to open up to your friend. Nice to have some extra support on this tough journey xx

OP posts:
VenusStarr · 06/07/2019 10:39

Have you had more bleeding? @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF I'm sorry you're going through this uncertainty xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 06/07/2019 10:48

2fingers22018 · 06/07/2019 11:11

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF i know uve prob read it on other threads but my friend was down at A&E alot when she was pregnant with bleeding obvs worried she was having a miscarriage and they told her some ppl will bleed when theyr pregnant natural to be worried bout it obviously but try not to think the worst. Such a shitty situation for u id go insane waiting that long! X

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 06/07/2019 11:27

@2fingers22018 I’ve read a million threads trying to make myself feel better I’m driving myself insane! I’ve just shouted at DH and told him to get out the house He wants me to go out shopping I know he trying to take my mind off it but I’m just so exhausted with it all xx

Kelly199 · 06/07/2019 21:35

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF so sorry you're going through this. Really hope the bleeding will stop for you. Sending lots of positive thoughts 💗 xx

Hope everyone is ok today xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 06/07/2019 21:59

@Kelly199 thank you to be fair it seems to have pretty much stopped it’s back to the level before the bleed! Xx

FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF · 06/07/2019 22:00

The extra progesterone and progynova must of helped so now just got to get to Friday! Xx

2fingers22018 · 07/07/2019 14:14

squirrelnutkins1 · 07/07/2019 14:54

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF hope you're managing ok hun. Each day is a day closer to Friday 🙏🏻

@2fingers22018 how are you? Your back better? Have you had your appointment yet?

I've felt awful this week tbh. The Letrazole has made me so tired and headachy. I had a three hour 'nap' yesterday!!! What's that all about!!? I've pulled my back as well so in agony 😭 looking forward to my scan on Tuesday tho.

How's everyone's weekend going? xx
