@PurpleUnicorn01 there was a whole heap of videos about all aspects of the cycle, and consent forms for the procedures, legal stuff for the embryos. Took a while to get through, and forgot some of what was in the videos!

PurpleUnicorn01 · 17/05/2021 15:56

@lou8319 i think im just getting impatient. Lol want them to start already lol

Lou8319 · 19/05/2021 08:21

Today I’m 11 weeks and on a rather momentous occasion I am taking my last progesterone injection, and my last cyclogest!!

When did others with BFPs have to take drugs til? And are you nervous to now stop taking them!

PurpleUnicorn01 · 19/05/2021 08:33

@lou8319 yay congratulations 👏

Sungirl11 · 19/05/2021 09:37

@Lou8319 i've been prescribed the pessaries and injections until week 9. Not sure if I will get more prescribed or that is it. Was told I only need them until placenta is proper formed which is around then. Xx

6543336787gesgvjhg · 19/05/2021 12:10

@Lou8319 I am 10 weeks on Thursday and take my last two passeries on that date. I am a little scared lol. When's your scan? X

28th. I’ve had nausea since week 7, and tired. But no real other symptoms. So super nervous.

We had a scan at 7 weeks - this has been the slowest month of my life

6543336787gesgvjhg · 19/05/2021 14:06

@Lou8319 I've had a lot of nausea - mainly at night. Super hungry all the time though. No sickness which is strange. Hoping that means it's a boy 🤣.

Our scan is 07.06.2021. Originally it was 01.06.2021 but hubby can't attend that one as working. So that week for me will drag even more 😫😫

@Lou8319 yes we had a 7 week scan too and fertility clinic was weird when they said that's it from us now

OP posts:
Lou8319 · 19/05/2021 15:06

@6543336787gesgvjhg yes our clinic was ‘keep in touch, keep asking us questions if you have them, but you’re discharged.’

My nausea is morning noon and night. Never sick either. It’s pit me right off food, so my meals have been interesting to say the least. Currently it’s ginger biscuits,quavers, fruit salad sweets, carrots and apples. And still lucozade is the only thing that stops the nausea really.

Crazydoglady123 · 19/05/2021 15:33

@6543336787gesgvjhg @Lou8319 sorry you've both been hit by nausea!

Did anyone on here have BETA hcg bloods done? My clinic just asks us to use normal poas tests but I had a progesterone blood test yesterday so I said to the nurse obv I am definitely pregnant but am dying to know if one or two of the embryos implanted so she said she could do HCG bloods too. I got the result this morning and they were 527 (taken on 10dp5dt). It seems pretty inconclusive on google and my scans booked for 8th June which feels like so long away!

Sungirl11 · 19/05/2021 15:52

@Crazydoglady123 I did. Mine were 641 at 12dp5dt and 2052 at 15dp5dt. And I only had 1 transferred.
But I have read a girl that had 22 at 10dpt and she had twins.
So I think until scan you won't really know! Xx

Crazydoglady123 · 19/05/2021 15:59

@Sungirl11 thank you. It's going to be the longest three weeks waiting for my scan 😭

Sungirl11 · 19/05/2021 16:03

@Crazydoglady123 I know! This wait for me is being worse than the TWW haha
I'm going on Tuesday and I feel all this time is just going sooooo slow.
My husband is very excited and i'm like well I don't know what to expect... until I see it I won't believe it.

6543336787gesgvjhg · 24/05/2021 07:53

How is everyone? I stopped taking the pessaries from Friday and still don't feel any better. I don't feel awful don't get me wrong and wouldn't change it for the world.

Any scans coming up?

Lou8319 · 24/05/2021 13:47

@6543336787gesgvjhg I stopped the injections and pessaries on Weds last week, and still feel crappy. Although I tend to have a good day every week, which thankfully was husbands birthday. I had been so worried about going out for dinner, but I ate like a Queen!

My 12 week scan is Friday when I’ll be 12+2. Super nervous after previous MC at 10 weeks, but I’m hoping the nausea and tiredness and lake of pains and bleeding can only be good.

Sungirl11 · 24/05/2021 14:40

@6543336787gesgvjhg I have my 7w scan tomorrow. We will meet our baby for the first time.
I have been feeling crap for the last 4 days. I have always suffered of hormonal migraine.. well guess... it's worse than ever! And can't stop it for a second. I have called the hospital to see if there is anything else I can take apart from paracetamol (which doesn't work) but I never got a call back...
So i spend my days in bed and feeling sorry for myself. My head is going to explode any minute 

@Lou8319 how exciting, 12w already. Let us know how it goesSmile

I'm still doing injections and pessaries for another two weeks, but i'm also fed up of injections already...

PurpleUnicorn01 · 24/05/2021 14:59

@6543336787gesgvjhg and @Lou8319 how exciting!

Lou8319 · 24/05/2021 17:08

@Sungirl11 good luck for your scan tomorrow.

6543336787gesgvjhg · 25/05/2021 11:17

@Sungirl11 how was your scan?

@Lou8319 good luck for Friday - have you chosen to have the screening test?

Also I have had the message now for covid jab even though I can't get in anyway local - what are your thoughts on having the jab whilst pregnant? Any one had it - any bad side effects?

Thank you ladies xx

Lou8319 · 25/05/2021 11:46

@6543336787gesgvjhg we are having the tests. Didn’t really consider not.

I had my first COVID jab two weeks ago. My midwife said they advised to get it, and the nhs website also advises. It was the Pfizer, and the only side effect was a sore arm, like after a flu jab.

6543336787gesgvjhg · 25/05/2021 12:06

@Lou8319 yes I am going to get it done when I can get booked in. Didn't find the website that good for my location.

Yes I will be having the screening too.

OP posts:
Lou8319 · 25/05/2021 12:29

Our GP text us before the nhs got in touch, so we got ours two days after our text.

Sungirl11 · 25/05/2021 14:28

@6543336787gesgvjhg my scan went really well!! Bean in measuring 7+1 and i'm 7w today! So perfect. Had a strong heartbeat (we only saw it) and my cervix is nice and closed and all looks perfect.
So we are very happy and excitedGrin
I did start with morning sickness today so it has been a bit of a journey (throwing up in the carConfused) and i'm just lying in bed resting now.
I got my covid jab text too but I would like to speak to midwife or Dr first to reassure it's all ok. I am pro having it, but want to know I can have it without problem. Xx

PurpleUnicorn01 · 25/05/2021 15:03

Yay so pleased for you xxx
