That's brilliant news and lovely to see @Tinkerbell098 - really happy for you!

MinBins · 04/01/2023 10:39

I have a faint positive on this morning's test. 😱

I won't get hopes up just yet in case it's chemical as I am only on 7dp 5dt.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Imisscoffee2021 · 04/01/2023 10:43

@MinBins that's such an excited beginning! Hope it gets darker for you and you have the best news on OTD!

seekingbabyk · 04/01/2023 10:49

@Tinkerbell098 that's amazing news I am so happy for you!

@MinBins also amazing news - keeping everything crossed it keeps getting darker and this is also your time!

@Honeybunie @Spin101 @Decaffe what are your next steps now? Do you know when you'll be starting your next stims/transfer meds?

Tinkerbell098 · 04/01/2023 11:46

Thanks all!

@MinBins amazing news!! Everything crossed for you that it’ll get darker in the next few days 🤞

@Honeybunie aww that sucks you can’t even cuddle your family cat! Omg, that’s such a high dosage of l-arginine. I haven’t taken any more than the one I mentioned 😆 I’ll ask the doctor when I speak to him about it and any impact on Progynova. Will keep you posted

@Tinkerbell098 yay, that’s amazing news!! 🥰🥰

@MinBins that’s also great news! I know it’s early days, I have everything crossed for you! 🥰🥰

@seekingbabyk I’m currently on the pill until mid month. I’ll then start on Progynova for my first FET. All the waiting is starting to get to me. I also have a bit of the travel bug atm after watching race across the world, which isn’t helping matters 🙈 you’re doing another cycle in Feb/Mar, right?

Imisscoffee2021 · 04/01/2023 17:33

@Spin101 I love those series! 2nd one was in alot of places my husband and I visited on a round the world trip when we were 26, made me want to run out of the door again! Might have to rewatch from the start ... :)

Spin101 · 05/01/2023 12:55

@Imisscoffee2021 i LOVE it so much to the point I’m not sleeping properly because I keep thinking about it lol. I’ve visited some of the countries in the second series too and like you I just want to go back again!

have any of you ladies had an endometrial scratch?

Decaffe · 05/01/2023 14:39

I need to catch up on your posts but just quickly checking in to give an update!

-I’m starting my last stim cycle next week with a view to freeze all.

-I’ve managed to get the vast majority of the RIF blood tests done on the NHS, saving me a fortune.

-I’m now on NHS waiting list for a diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Thinking possibly endo, as javelin arse etc. Potentially a 3-6 month waiting list.

seekingbabyk · 05/01/2023 14:52

@Spin101 yes definitely January is a time where you want to book trips! I will look out for that - is it on Netflix?

I think we are going for end of January now for our last cycle and then a freeze all again and hopefully transfer in spring. That's great you will get your transfer soon!

@Decaffe I'm glad they paid for all your tests. What made them put you through for the procedures then? Are you in a lot of pain or having symptoms?x

Spin101 · 05/01/2023 19:01

@Decaffe I’m glad they did your tests on the NHS! Sorry to hear you now need to have a lap and hysteroscopy. Did they say you should wait for the procedure before having a FET? If possible, try to keep calling them to get a date for the procedure. Be selfish!

@seekingbabyk it’s on BBC. I recommend it! Glad to hear you will have your last cycle soon ish!

MammyandAva · 06/01/2023 07:51

Morning everyone,

I went for a scan at the EPU on Wednesday, everything looked great but I woke at 6 am this morning with extreme cramps and a lot of blood and clots so looks as though I'm miscarrying at 6 weeks.

I'm absolutely devastated to say the least.

The clinic have said for me to go in for a scan as some people do bleed a lot but I know it's all over, my sickness has stopped too.

Imisscoffee2021 · 06/01/2023 08:15

@MammyandAva I'm so sorry you've woken up to that after a positive scan. Are the cramps really bad? Don't want to say could still be okay as you know your body better than anyone but I'm hoping for you and in the meantime sending a big hug xx

MinBins · 06/01/2023 10:32

Hey @MammyandAva thinking of you and hoping the best for you and the little bean. Stay strong and sending lots of hugs, hope it goes okay at the clinic. When is your scan? 💛

Tinkerbell098 · 06/01/2023 15:10

@MammyandAva I'm really sorry to hear about the bleeding. Have you been for a scan today? Really really hope everything's fine. Massive massive hug to you X

OP posts:
MammyandAva · 06/01/2023 15:13

@MinBins @Imisscoffee2021 thank you!

I have just got back from my scan and everything is perfect. Lovely strong little heartbeat and measuring over by two days.

It seems I have a subchorionic hematoma 😳

Miracles really do happen and I'm so relieved that another hurdle in this rollercoaster journey has passed

Tinkerbell098 · 06/01/2023 15:16

@MammyandAva that is so amazing to hear. Such good news. So pleased for you :)

OP posts:
Tinkerbell098 · 06/01/2023 15:18

I've got my midwife appointments come through today, just makes this feel a bit more real. Still very cautious of course, but I'm allowing myself to be a little excited.

OP posts:
seekingbabyk · 06/01/2023 15:19

@MammyandAva omg what a whirlwind of a day for you! I'm sorry you had that upset this morning it must've be awful but so happy for you it all worked out positively and everything is fine!x

MinBins · 06/01/2023 17:21

Ah yay! That's great news - now to relax for the weekend on a happy note! Such a rollercoaster @MammyandAva for sure, glad everything is all okay.

Imisscoffee2021 · 06/01/2023 17:35

@MammyandAva such wonderful news!I bet you were shocked! So pleased the bean is okay xx

seekingbabyk · 06/01/2023 18:35

@MinBins how are your tests going? Have you done any more since Wednesday?

MinBins · 06/01/2023 19:20

@seekingbabyk I did a test today and the line was still there teeny bit darker. The OTD is on Monday, and so I will keep my fingers crossed things go okay 🤞🏼🤞🏼

seekingbabyk · 06/01/2023 20:10

@MinBins that's really good news - keeping everything crossed for you xx
