That freaking AF!!!! God she such a curse....hope you feeling better Sheece....

 

[Angel5000]

Oh Sheece!! I'm so sorry!! If you need anything let us know, this is a hard thing to go through (I've had 2 CPs) and can be so hard to comprehend.

 

[broodymrs]

Oh no that's terrible. I'm so sorry Hun. I had two cp's previously too. Hugs xxx

 

[Sheece]

Thanks girls xx im doing ok

I think i kinda new from the start so thats helped process in a weird way. We are just trying to keep positive, we know we can get pregnant, just have to work on the staying pregnant part!

Dont know if I need to go see my doctor now or not? Still due to have my second blood test on Monday so I guess Ill do that and go from there.

 

[Angel5000]

How far along were you? With both my CPs I didn't go to the doctor but I was really really early. I would call the doctor Monday and let them know what happened and they will probably still have you come in anyway but it's good to check.

 

[broodymrs]

I had my 2 cp's when we were ttc no 1. I still had a successful pregnancy eventually and never saw the dr. When I told the mw she brushed it off as a faulty test (helpful I know!). Now knowing what I do about my progesterone I suspect that may have been the issue all along. Could you ask for your Drs to check your hormone levels?

 

[Sheece]

I was 4 w 1 day, my usual doctor is on holidays this week so i might just book in to see her next week and run through it then. I will ask her about progesterone too broody, hopefully she doesnt brush me off!

 

[Whimsical88]

Atleast you know you can get pregnant....thats half the battle done. Check in with your doc just so you know you are ok lets hope things are better next cycle

 

[Angel5000]

My doctor also brushed it off. Both of mine were less than 5 weeks, about 4 weeks 1 day & 4 weeks 3 days I think. She was like "okay, well, just keep doing what you're doing and don't test anymore until you are 1 week late" and I had a few friends who were like "clearly it was a faulty test or your period wouldn't have started". No, no it wasn't.

When I told my RE about the two chemicals I was almost embarrassed to put it on the paperwork in the area where I Had to list previous pregnancies because I thought he'd think I was being silly too. Instead he was incredibly considerate and kind and very sympathetic. Plus, it changed my diagnosis from "infertility" to "habitual losses" and my insurance will pay for the tests under that diagnosis when they wouldn't pay for them under infertility. So, in my case, as heart wrenching as the CPs were, I'm glad now that I did test early and got them because it's saving me a fortune now. I would have preferred them to just stick, but at least I know that I can get pregnant and that's the majority of the issue.

Sheece. I hope you are able to get some decent info from your doc. Keep us updated.

 

[broodymrs]

Are you in the uk sheece? I think unfortunately with no 1 it's trial and error, even when you're pregnant. In my experience you don't get taken seriously until you've been through the process once already or been trying for over a year. I hope your dr does look into it for you

 

[Sheece]

Broody - No, I'm in Australia, I have to see a different doctor than my usual as she is on holidays for 3 weeks, so hopefully the new one is good!

Isn't it a worry just how much the reactions all vary with medical professionals! And the faulty test thing, I can't believe people said that to you Angel, of course its not faulty tests!

Well I just had a pretty good experience with the nurse that rang me to give me my blood test results at least.

As expected, my level went down to 6, but she took it all very seriously, told me to have my second blood test as planned, and to book in for the doctor ASAP, as it wasn't a chemical pregnancy, but a miscarriage so they want to make sure I don't have to have a D&C .

So even though the news is crap, I feel a bit better cause its been taken seriously at least! If only more doctors / nurses were like that hey

 

[Sheece]

Blood test done & doctor appointment made for Wednesday afternoon. My bleeding has stopped too thankfully.

I'm keen to move on from this cycle!

where are you girls up to at the moment? Coming up to ovulation?

 

[broodymrs]

That's good they are taking it seriously. Just waiting to ovulate, hoping it's not late as I've been really stressed last week so that could delay things

 

[mrs unicorn]

Sheece - that's good you are being taken seriously. We all deserve that. I don't think the terms we use to describe a cp or miscarriage are very helpful. I only realised this after my mc, but it doesn't even begin to touch on how heartbreaking it is. Glad the bleeding has stopped hun, hope you're doing ok.

Yep, I'm about to ovulate, tomorrow hopefully. Just had +opks this morning so fx I'm on track!

 

[Whimsical88]

sheece thats some good news amoung all thats bad. im happy you finally found someone that seems to be a bit more serious and not blowing you off...who know this GP may well be the one you continue with.
angel that god they found a way for your medical aid to cover the costs. atleast you can have tests done and get answers.
broody...less stress and more baby making

im taking a break from ttc for a few months. i was just burnt out emotionally and need to gather myself. so right now, not trying and not preventing.

 

[broodymrs]

Whimsical - ttc definitely takes its toll!!

Got a high on my monitor so got a few nights of bding coming up!! Cd 13 too, yay go me 🙄

 

[Whimsical88]

broody and more lol...have fun....dont make it all about baby making...add some spice in there

 

[abennion]

I'm so sorry Sheece. Just take the next couple of weeks to relax, recoupe, and then jump back in when you're ready. Give yourself time to grieve. Like the other women have said, at least now you know you CAN get pregnant, it's just a matter of having a sticky baby at this point.

AFM: well, this is a first. I don't know where I am in my cycle. Temps are too low to be post O temps, but higher than pre O temps. Maybe it's due to sleeping with the window open? I'm back to temping, so I guess we'll just wait for AF at this point.

 

[Angel5000]

I'm about to leave for my second US to check ovaries and lining. Had my +OPK on Saturday but my temps are wacky so I don't know if I actually O'd or not. Guess the DR will tell me today. I got a total of maybe 3-4 hours of lseep last night, broken up throughout the night. It was awful so today's temp is incredibly inaccurate (but was after at least a 2 hour sleep stretch, the rest of the night was pretty awful). I really want ot just call out of work for the whole day but I promised kids I'd be there in the afternoon and after school to be available for tutorials. :/ So after my dr appointment I'm going in. Blah.


sheece - I'm so glad they are taking it seriously. It makes me so upset that some don't take early MC seriously.

Mrs Unicorn - you're right, the terms that are used don't even begin to describe the heartbreak. In fact, I think the phrase "chemical pregnancy" is the worst because it implies it was just a serious of chemicals - almost like a "fluke" that wasn't really a pregnancy (at least that's the way I feel it sounds) and that makes it so hard for me because people don't even refer to my CPs as MCs.....just CPs. So it's not even like a loss. My RE and the nurses always refer to them as MCs when they reference my medical history, which I appreciate.

 

[Whimsical88]

angel some days are harder than others and i guess that why we women because we can still pick ourselves of the floor and carry on even when you want to climb into bed, fall into a dreamless sleep and forget about the horrible world.
how did US go?
