Don't want to lose touch so new thread ready x

Thanks @veeboo and @BambiOnIce80. I have been taking 200mg of ubiquinol since the first miscarriage. I stopped when I got this bfp. I have read it starts with the egg, might re-read. Just feeling quite hopeless right now 😔 x

Afternoon all,

Hope everyone is ok it’s gone very quiet on here!

@fingers22018 ahhhh sorry I knew it was one or the other!!! When is af due to start?

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF eek here's hoping for you too 💕🙏🏻

And you @2fingers22018 exciting times for a few of you ladies!!

This year has been the absolute worst year of my life, not just the mc, other things too so we're really working hard to end the year on a better note. Trying to keep positive and make things happen! Can't believe it's September. Not long left of the year! Xx

@squirrelnutkins1 I was just saying that to dh yesterday that I can’t believe we are now in September!! It’s crazy!

@squirrelnutkins1 sorry you are having a tough year! But glad your trying to remain positive! Xx

Glad to hear I'm not alone @GreyC and @2fingers22018! You're right - it's definitely feeing like it's out of our hands now 🤞🏻

So sorry to hear you've had a terrible 2019 so far @squirrelnutkins1 and that you're feeling the way you are @VenusStarr 💐 I'm keeping everything crossed that you both get some good news before 2019 is out 🍀🍀🍀

Is it OK if I ask what was worrying you about starting the down-regging @GreyC? That's the next step for me and I've deliberately put off reading up on it until I get my ovarian reserve results (just in case we don't end up proceeding, after all 😞). The idea of chemically inducing menopause does freak me out - what if my cycles don't come back?!?! 😰 I said this to my acupuncturist and she looked at me like I was tapped in the head, so I'm guessing it's unlikely to happen (I hope!).

It's T -27 days until our initial appointment with the consultant and the ovarian reserve testing (and I promise I'm not going to be doing all your heads in with a daily countdown! 🤪), but instead of getting more hopeful I had a bit of a wobble yesterday 😔 Do we really want to do this/throw all our savings at it?? Am I more in love with the idea of a bambino than the reality of it?? We really like our lives as they are, so do we really want to irreversibly change it?? Urgh! 😖 Doing my own head in!! 🤯

@bunhead83 I think those feelings are totally normal! It's a huge change!
@finallytakingtheplungewithivf good luck for injections Thursday. What happens next?
@2fingers22018 hope time passes quickly for you and that everything crazy is in as they are supposed too.
Thinking of you @squirrelnutkins1 you have needed to be so resilient. Keep going.
Hope you're okay @VenusStarr.
Hope all going okay for you too @GreyC and @CloudSway? Sorry if I've missed updates, it's hard too keep up.

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF thank you 💕

@BambiOnIce80 ah thank you that's kind x

@veeboo thank you, I appreciate that. It's been awful for multiple reasons and there's only so much you can take. But there's still time this year for things to turn round. I'll take it in any aspect of life lol!

So excited for you ladies moving forward with your treatments eek! Xx

@VenusStarr sending love and positive thoughts xx

@kelly199 Hope you'll come back and tell us how you are.... xx

@GreyC @CloudSway How are you guys? Xx

@kh87 Any updates mrs? Xx

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF afs not due until another 2/3 wks not long for you now just one more day! @squirrelnutkins1 thats shit as if ttc isnt enough stress if theres anything you want to get off your chest you know we ll all be here to listen, i really hope this yr turns around for all of us still another4 months to go who knows it could do a complete 180 fx ❤@BambiOnIce80 oh i question it all the time as @veeboo said i think its only natural the thing is most ppl dnt have yrs to overanalyse what bein a parent is really like if they did i think half the population wouldnt have kids😂 i do keep tryin to remind myself that if i ever get pregnant its not goin to be all rainbows and sunshine its hard work but i know it will be worth it hold on to that

Thanks @veeboo and @2fingers22018 ❤️ I'm full on yo-yoing between those kind of thoughts and then worrying that my AMH/AFC will be 💩 and then it'll be the end of the road for me and all the devastation that will bring ... conflicted much?! 🤪

Good luck for tomorrow with starting your jabs @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF 🍀

Hope everyone else is OK.x

Hi all I'm going for an initial consultation to see if I match the criteria of abc infertility this month. Hope you don't mind me joining get an idea of what to expect c

@impatientmammy welcome! How long have u been ttc hun? @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF is it tonite u start injecting? Hope everyones having a nice day almost the weekend again thank god lol

@2fingers22018 just under 2 years. How about you? X

@impatientmammy just over 4yrs now..have they mentioned what tests theyl carry out? When i 1st went i got my bloods checked to see if i ovulate maybe theyl do that 1st for u or have u already had ur bloods checked?

Its very quiet on here recently hope everyones alrite x

@veeboo thanks will have a scan in two weeks to see if my ovaries are ‘quiet’ if af plays ball that is! If everything good will start oestrogen tabs and then back for another scan about a week after that I’d lining is good then will arrange et and agree when
to stop injections and start progesterone!

@BambiOnIce80 thanks

@2fingers22018 yes tonight is the night!
Sorry I have been quiet as had an exam I have been revising for which is now over!! So now I can concentrate on fet! How are you doing?

@impatientmammy welcome!

@2fingers22018 I had bloods with the nhs last year and then they're allowing me to do another set now so I can go private as I have a little boy. I had 5 rounds of clomid to assist unexplained infertility I had one chemical first round and then nothing. I'm looking at going with abc infertility who do a scan to test for AMH along with other things (exactly what else I'm not sure). 4 years must be horrendous I've been an emotional wreck after the stress of 2. That could be clomid though.
Thank you @FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF hope things go ok with your injections x

@2fingers22018 yes I'm ready for the weekend too!
@finallytakingtheplungewithivf that's good news things are all ready to go! Fx AF behaves!
Welcome @impatientmammy. I was unexplained too and had a bfp last month after 18 months. These ladies were kind enough to let me stay. It's a supportive board.
I have my scan tomorrow at 8 weeks to see if all okay. Bit nervous now
Hope everyone else is okay. Thinking of you in particular @VenusStarr
