@Coops0406 congratulations!!! so happy for you!

Been MIA for a little while, just slipped back into normal life, which is nice, I like this time before the first scan for FET I’m back on the oestrogen to start the next FET scan is next Monday, at least I can back to back, so fingers crossed for this one, taking baby aspirin to see if that helps.
Got to the point I might even try the pineapple still have 2 4AB embryos and 2 others. So not even half way through our embryos yet so hoping it’s going to work this time 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Hopefortansy85 Aww that’s good you can get straight back to it. Sending you all the luck in the world 🤞🏼 x

Coops0406 · 14/08/2022 12:48

@Hopefortansy85 thank you 🥰 still got a good positive line today so hopefully it's stays for OTD tomorrow 🤞🏾

Great you can get going again, and that you have a good amount of embryos left! My sister-in-law swears by the pineapple as it worked for her getting my nephew! 🍍

@Dobcaty your medicines weren't too expensive. When do you start again? Are you waiting for AF?

Hope everyone else is doing well and managing in this heat!

Hi All, had a scare this morning red blood followed by brown and and cramping.
Been to EPU and they scanned me externally and internally.

There's is a bleed, it's behind the sac and the baby had a little heartbeat already 🥰. Still cautiously optimistic as they said any bleed can increase the chances of miscarriage.
Told to take it easy. No lifting and nothing strenuous.

Hoping this little one sticks around.

@PMAmostofthetime oh gosh that must have been terrifying, thank goodness they scanned you though and baby had a heartbeat 🥰 make-sure you rest x

Dobcaty · 14/08/2022 14:57

@PMAmostofthetime take a bed rest, seriously and have a sick note from your gp for a few days. As the advice said take it easy! Look after yourself please! 🌸

@Coops0406 wishing you the best birthday present ever for tomorrow!!!

I start the first medcs in two weeks time as we are doing long protocol FET, so I will have another af end of aug, then 2 scans and the transfer booked for the 27th Sept.
DH and me agreed we'll book a holiday after the transfer as we had a long year already and facing with the final stage of the house buying by mid October and I really really need some relaxing time with him. 🥰

PMAmostofthetime · 14/08/2022 15:06

@LKSF @Dobcaty I have 2 weeks annual leave luckily and that will take me right up to my next scan on 30th Aug.

I cried so much this morning I thought it was all over. All the hospital staff at A&E and EPU were amazing.

Wishing you the best of luck for tomorrow @Coops0406 x

@Dobcaty @PMAmostofthetime thank you! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! Couldn't have wished for more 😍 I rang the clinic this morning and they were over the moon for us. Scan booked on 7th September so I should be just over 7 weeks by then!

@PMAmostofthetime I'm so glad things are okay and you got to hear a heartbeat! Plenty of rest for you now!

@Dobcaty you definitely need things to look forward to! We're thinking to book around October...if things go well then I'll be passed 12 weeks and if things don't then at least we can have something to look forward to!

LKSF · 16/08/2022 16:22

Hi Ladies,
Just updating you after having my 6week scan! It was really hard for them to find due to my ovaries being quite aggressive still from all the ivf medication and the position of my uterus but they eventually seen a heartbeat 🥰 there was another sac too but they’re pretty sure that one was empty however they want to scan me next week just to confirm!

PMAmostofthetime · 16/08/2022 17:24

@LKSF that's great news. So please for you.

I have bad abdominal cramping and bright red blood flow- looks like my happiness from a few days ago has gone 😭.

I'm so upset they won't scan me at EPU for another week as they won't know until then x

OP posts:
LKSF · 16/08/2022 17:29

@PMAmostofthetime Oh I’m so so sorry but there really is still hope, cramps and bleeding is not always bad! Can you not pay for a private scan?Privately they can normally see you within a day or two!xx

PMAmostofthetime · 16/08/2022 17:47

@LKSF what the EPU are saying is that if I'm bleeding again it's likely to continue for a week and we wouldn't know the outcome until after it's stopped. I know it's all over 😭😭😭 life is so cruel x

LKSF · 17/08/2022 14:50

@PMAmostofthetime hoping and praying for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 x

PMAmostofthetime · 18/08/2022 09:24

@LKSF Thank you- it's stopped now and was brown and now there's just tiny bits of brown now and again. Hoping I can be scanned towards the end of the week.

How are you? X

@PMAmostofthetime I follow a girl called taayblue on Instagram and she also blogs all fertility stuff on YouTube - maybe have a look if you think it might be helpful for you. She had really bad cramps and loads of bright red blood the other day and everything was fine. Honestly until you have that scan done please try and stay positive 🙏🏻 Keep us updated x
I’m ok thanks, just getting a bit anxious for my clinic to send through a prescription to fertility2u….they need to do it by lunch time for me to get my medication on time but because they’re on summer break until the end of the month they’re a bit slow responding to emails! Also waiting for my appointment letter for another scan end of next week to confirm the second sac is empty!

Coops0406 · 18/08/2022 17:06

@LKSF fab news re: the heartbeat! It must have been stressful while they were looking around.

@PMAmostofthetime I'm so sorry you've had a bit of a rollercoaster week! Glad the bleeding has stopped. Stay positive. When will they scan you?

We are still positive which is great, finally at 14dp5dt the test line is actually now the dark line! My scan is booked for the 7th September which seems ages away!

LKSF · 18/08/2022 17:42

@Coops0406 it was honestly so stressfull! They weren’t very empathetic, you’d think they’d treat ivf ladies with a bit more empathy.

honestly it will come round so quick, try and book lots of things xx

PMAmostofthetime · 19/08/2022 16:22

@LKSF @Coops0406 Have a scan booked at the EPU for Monday at 2:20 I just hope everything is alright.

@LKSF when is your next scan?

@Coops0406 the 7th will be here before you know it I'm 7+ 2 now x

OP posts:
LKSF · 19/08/2022 16:34

@PMAmostofthetime ah great they booked you in, let us know how you get on 🙏🏻🤞🏼
My next scan is on the 25th Aug! X

PMAmostofthetime · 19/08/2022 18:28

@LKSF how do you feel about it being twins? X

OP posts:
LKSF · 19/08/2022 18:43

@PMAmostofthetime I’d be over the moon 🥰 Equally as happy if it’s 1 or 2! I think it’s just one though, she said the’s pretty certain the second sac was empty but she just has to be sure! X

PMAmostofthetime · 20/08/2022 19:07

@LKSF did you have an internal to check? X

OP posts:
LKSF · 20/08/2022 19:11

@PMAmostofthetime yeah Internal, I think they always do internal scans if it’s before 12weeks x

PMAmostofthetime · 22/08/2022 16:44

Just got back from my scan - all ok. Just needed an ultrasound today as they could very clearly see everything and the little heartbeat. So relieved but still cautious.

Scan at clinic now next Tuesday and then transfer to GP and await 12 week scan :)

The EPU were so lovely today. My clinic were quite dismissive tbh they were like well it's not an ectopic as you had an internal Sunday. So you'll just have to wait and see- called EPU and they reword to reassure me, booked in the scan and we're lovely again Today x

LKSF · 22/08/2022 17:53

@PMAmostofthetime oh that’s amazing news! I’ve been thinking of you today but didn’t want to message!! You must be soooo relieved!! 🙏🏻 Did they say where the bleeding was coming from?x
