It's been 7 weeks since mc but still not af...when to ring the GP?

[MrsPhez]

Mine was like that too at 9dpo. Only I could see it. I think we can see it because we've done so many negative tests so we can spot the faintest shadow. My first test on here was from 9dpo. Can't wait to see it in a few days! Over the moon for you!

Are you going to do a digi in a few days too to see the words?

I would like to! Seeing my girlfriends this weekend so would be nice to show them! They know about mc so will be delighted I'm sure.
Yes the line is visible...to me..it's an exclusive line! It's still there actually. Willing ym luteal phase to behave. My cyst could actually have helped with the progesterone I need, how bizarre is that?! I'm being scanned Monday for the cyst, wont see much of bean at 4 weeks but I may get lots of future scan for cyst. Not sure what repercussions of the cyst are, dont think it will do any harm but could be painful...one step at a time

Oooh exciting. You might be able to see a gestational sac at 4 weeks! Probably not anything else though. I hope you do get lots of extra scans that would be amazing. Do you think you should tell your dr? I don't think they'll do anything here in the UK re progesterone supps but may be worth a try?

I can't wait to see your test I'm so excited. I hope mlm comes back soon, its her turn for bfp next and if it carries on the way its been doing that will be very soon!

I am going to schedule an app with gp when I pass the official missed period mark so next week, and if my hpts look good. I'll also know results of scan as well then. I think ym prog is OK, last cycle with the 9 day LP was 26.1 which is pretty good. Not sure why my LP so short with such high prog, q for the gyn in May. Not that it matters if this one sticks.

 

[mackjess]

I knew your signs were looking good. so very happy for you phez!

 

[mlm115]

Congratulations Phez, that is awesome! Yay for your sticky bean!

Thanks for thinking of me ladies. I haven't wanted to bring everyone down by posting in this thread. I'm very happy for everyone and their pregnancies and don't want to bring any negative energy here. I am convinced that I have an issue with scar tissue from my d&c that is causing a physical blockage. I have a drs appointment coming up, so hopefully they will take me seriously and do something. I am having a really hard time with this, especially as my due date would be next month. My sadness is overwhelming right now.

So I guess I will pop in and update if anything happens for me, but in the meantime I may not be posting here. Thank you for all your support and I truly wish nothing but the best for you all! I'm sure I'll creep on here every once in a while to check on you guys!

Thank you mlm. I wish you all the best and hope to see you here again very soon. Don't take no for an answer or let them fob you off. I know how much you want a baby from prev posts, keep trying, I'll be thinking of you

 

[bobster]

Mlm so sorry you're feeling like this. I think we've all felt this way at some point and know how tough it is. I'm lad you've scheduled an appointment to talk these worries through. Hopefully they can give you some answers or run some tests.

I understand needing some time away from this thread but please don't ever feel that you can't talk to us if you need to. We have all been through up's and downs and will continue to I'm sure as this is life. A total bitch sometimes!

I hope your hubby is supporting you through these feelings. he sounds great from what you've said. Look after yourself. P.s. everything is on your side. I think the pressure can get to is all sometimes and works against us but I still believe it will happen (sooner rather than later).

Just found this on the NICE guidelines website that Jane found a while ago.
Women should not be offered an endometrial biopsy to
evaluate the luteal phase as part of the investigation of
fertility problems because there is no evidence that
medical treatment of luteal phase defect improves
pregnancy rates.
Could buy some prog cream but think I'll let nature take it's course. If it's meant to be it will be

 

[bobster]

Have you retested today Phez? Can't wait to see a pic!

 

[MrsPhez]

Ladies I come bearing bad news I'm afraid. Appears I have suffered a chemical preg, styarted AF this morning. Luteal phase is the culprit I'm sure. No way of knowing what was about to start, my temps were still high this morning but they're crashing now. Pretty gutted as you can imagine anda bit like mlm, I'm bowing out from Baby and Bump. I might pop by this thread if you guys continue with it, not that you're officially ttc anymore. I'll find you somewhere and send updates of good not bad news. GOOD LUCK, and thank you for being there, it's been a great little group and I will miss the chats. All the best x

 

[bobster]

MrsPhez I'm so sorry to read your news

If you ever to talk and this thread gets lost you can PM anytime. I had a chemical pregnancy about 2 cycles after my mc so I know how tough it is a second time. Please make time for yourself to be upset, talk and cry, I hope your husband is ok too.

You will both come through this and get your good news and I can't wait to hear it.

Hope you are ok, thinking of you and sending big hugs your way from York

X

 

[MrsPhez]

Thank you Bobster, that's so sweet. This morning I felt wretched, better tonight. DH the pragmatist as usual so he's cool as a cucumber and if you can fiund a positive we obv don't have fertility prob as such as we can conceive easily. Always the belief things happen for a reason. Wont forget your names so I'll be back and possibly stalking here and there! Love from Norfolk x

 

[GI_Jane]

Mrs Phez, I'm so sorry to read this news, we all know how you must be feeling. Please come back to us whenever you want to.

I'm still on holiday, fly back in to the UK saturday morning but was eager to see how everyone was doing.

Will post a proper reply when I'm back in the UK.

 

[mackjess]

Phez, hun I don't even know what to say. Just sending lots of hugs and thoughts your way.

 

[GI_Jane]

Bobster, so pleased to read everything went well at your 12 week scan- loving the picture. How can you tell it is a boy? How was DH? I think I would be a wimp and cry during mine.

Got my 7 week scan on Thursday 18th- just hope we can see a fetal pole and heartbeat this time. The brown spotting finally stopped just a couple of days ago but I stopped taking the baby aspirin as soon as the bleeding started so it would clot quicker. I just hope it's all ticking along ok.

Feeling nauseated more often now and pretty tired. Boobs are still uncomfortable when I take my bra off but constantly everyday I feel so bloated.

Can't believe how fast your pregnancy is going- in to your second trimester already. Will you tell everyone now or wait a bit longer? Mine doesn't feel like the time is moving as fast as yours- maybe its different when we are counting the time down for our own pregnancy.

What check ups/ tests can you expect between now and the 20 week scan?

Oh my bean is called Clark- it's a joke I have with DH about superman.

How are you doing mackjess? How is your blood pressure recently, have you been upping your walking regime like you planned to?

Have you looked in to those NCT anti natal classes bobster- I hear mixed reviews but they are very popular so need to get a place reserved ASAP but I just don't want to jinx anything yet- maybe after the 7 week scan all being well.

 

[mackjess]

Hi Jane! My BP has been normal again, 122/70. I think perfect is 120/80, so I'll take it. That is still high for me since I had low BP before, but I think the walking more must be helping. My feet were also starting to get swollen, but that has been better.

I must say, with this chilly weather (it's been 70 a few days in March/April then right back to 40s and wet/rainy) I'm not doing as good as I wanted. I'm trying to get to 5 miles a day, but so far only hit 2-3, except for yesterday because the weather was nice. I can't walk as much on my lunch break at work as I thought I would. I get sweaty!!! Even though I don't feel that warm or out of breath, I got drenched in sweat. I don't think my coworkers would appreciate that much. That really spoiled my plans a bit as I wanted to break up the walking into 2 parts so I wouldn't get so tired!

Glad to hear the spotting stopped. I'm excited for your scan, and hope it goes lovely. I swear that first one was the biggest gut wrencher for me! And Clark is a cute nickname!

Hi Bobster!! You are trucking right along. Hope you are enjoying it more, I know I'm still nervous but things did get a little better after my 12 week scan.

 

[GI_Jane]

Are you ok bobster?

Got my scan tomorrow and can think of nothing else.

 

[bobster]

Hi Jane so sorry for late reply. Not been around as had a poss of work to do for tomorrow so been ddistracted with that. What time is your scan? Im really feeling positive for you as your sickness is a great sign. Maybe the bleeding was down to the aspirin? Did you have a good holiday? Good luck please let us know how the scan goes.
Mackjess glad your bp is coming down now. Sounds like you are doing great with your walking which I'm sure will help.
I'm 14 weeks today. Can't quite believe I've made it this far. Hoping the beans nicely settled but still get worried. I think when I start getting a proper bump it may help my anxieties as when my symptoms go I still just don't feel pregnant! And they are starting to go more often now.
Jane will you get a doppler if beans ok today? Good luck I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

 

[GI_Jane]

Thanks bobster.

Holiday to Dubai was lovely thanks but worrying about this pregnancy and being cautious in a foreign land took the shine off it a bit.

Trying to keep detatched from this bean incase there is a problem with it is really starting to take its toll. If all goes well tomorrow hoping I can begin to relax a little.

I don't think the aspirin caused the bleeding but I stopped taking it so the bleed could clot quicker. Not taking anything except for my pre natal vitamins now.

2nd tri bobster, that's so great. Congratulations.x did you get your new dopler?

 

[bobster]

Oooh yes I ordered it off Amazon. I would recommend it for the price its really good. Its the only thing thats stopped me from panicking whenever I start to feel less sickly.

Oooh I thought your scan was on Thursday but for some reason got confused with the days. I know what you mean about staying detatched. I still don't allow myself to get excited even though i'm out of the danger zone because I know anything can happen.

I really do have high hopes that your bean will be a sticky one. If it wasn't then i'm sure you would have had more bleeding by now and you wouldn't still be feeling sick. I remember going to my 7 week scan, it was the most nervous I've been for such a long time. I only started getting the nausea the day before I went and I honestly expected that they were going to say there wasn't anything there. When he put the probe on my stomach we instantly saw it. Its amazing. I followed Mack's example and took a tissue, so I recommend you do too.. lol.

What time is the scan Jane? I'm not at work tomorrow so will be checking for updates tentatively
