mrsjd- what are you like overdosing yourself. how the heck did you manage to do that?

Hey babytots,

I have no thyroid and take 150 to 175 mcg of thyroxine each day, anyway, I had accidently put the 100's in the 25's box so I thought I was taking 6 X 25's when infact I took 4 X 100's plus 2 X 25's from another box.

Confusing I know, anyway got rushed to hospital and they managed to slow my heart down and kept me in over night.

MUPPET or what!

well I'm off my pre-op appointment today at 2pm but wanted to recommend a book to you - i've already told Mrs JD about it. Have any of you read Hotel Babylon or pop/wedding/air/fashion/beach Babylon? Wwell the author went through a big fertility journey and i've just finished her book and found it very interesting. It is a quick and easy read for those who are not big readers (i am a book worm https://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:aO_ly3_p_XsOtM:https://oneyearbibleimages.com/book_worm.jpg )

All my tests came back clear too, except the latest, my AMH test which shows my AMH is low. I am in the low band, so still some hope but I have now had 3 clinically recognized m/c's and a few chemicals/early lossess. I start clomid next cycel to see how that goes. I have also started accupuncture and all sorts of supplimnets - namely DHEA. Getting pregnant isnt the problem - staying pregnant is. Very frustrating.

Hi sleepycat. I know how frustrating it can be with no real answers. No probs here either conceiving although have been TTC last 6 months, just a problem with sticking.

Can I ask what AMH is? Also, why hve they put you on Clomid now?

 

[Widger]

im 21! i have a choromosome abnormality that kills off my babies i need funding to even get a sniff at my treatment and i was denyed because im only 21! somehow i think i lost positive along the way.

Tracie I think it is absolutely disgraceful that you have to wait just because of your age. Have you tried some hospitals that may be doing trials etc? Thinking of you. Please don't give up hope xx

 

[Widger]

hi ladies not posted in a long while have had alot going on this end so not had chance to catch up.

littlehush and smiler- thats fab news and am glad you are able to start ttc now

wishing4abub- i am glad you have given answers though i am sure it doesnt make it any easier knowing but hopefully there are things that can be done now to help you have a successful pregnancy.

mrsjd- what are you like overdosing yourself. how the heck did you manage to do that?

tansey- welcome to the thread hunni though i wish you didnt have to post here. i am sorry for your losses. i hope the tests go well hunni its a shame your nhs doesnt offer anything even ivf that must be hard for ladies who are having difficulty falling pg naturally and have to go down the private route because of the postcode lottery!

it disgusts me sometimes tbh. like they pay a fortune for people to help stop smoking when they shouldnt. its that persons choice to smoke so why should they get help. we havent chosen to lose our babies/have difficulty trying to concieve yet the help for some isnt there! rant over lol. hope your doing ok hunni.

tracie hunni i am so sorry that because of your age you cant get the treatment you need and deserve!!! thats outrageous and discrimination. i hope the appeal goes well. i sometimes think my age comes into the factor when i have been seen by my doctors. i am 23 and they always seem so dissmissive like they havent got the time of day for me. even more so because i have 2 children already gets me really annoyed sometimes!

well think caught up on everyone sorry if i have missed someone.

update on me put a complaint into the hospital about my care or lack of (see the other thread one about the rcm tests everyone has had done explains more in there). well today got a letter back and its definately been taken seriously. my last complaint they just rang me and resolved it this time it seems like they are wanting me to do a formal complaint and go through it all properly with me iykwim. should expect a phonecall from someone hopefully in the next week or so.

oh and i am being tested for pcos (having cd21 tests done on friday) finally found a doctor who listens to me and does everything she can and asks no questions. felt so nice not to have to fight my corner for something.

apart from that theres not much to report from me. on the 2ww now 4dpo and really wanting to test my best friend had her baby on the 3rd (she was due the 9th) and its put me on a downer as i should be sharing baby news with her and i arent. jessicas due date is on the 13th and just want some happy news for a change. fed up of feeling like this now i want to be able to live life again and i cant not fully. i wonder if i will ever be happy again ( x

Good to hear from you babytots. I'm in 2ww now and it is killing me. Now 9dpo and really really hope this is the month.

I'm sorry you are feeling low at the moment it must be so hard for you. Hopefully you'll get a lovely this month. PMA xx

 

[babytots]

jesus mrsjd what you like eh?! glad you realised that you had taken the wrong ones and that it didnt do any damage. congrats again on your pregnancy hunni!

thanks widger good luck on your 2ww hunni fingers crossed we both get bfps!! when are you planning on testing?

hope everyone else is well. x

no such thing as a trial for my treatment its a private procedure as it is just the NHS fund it if your lucky.

Sleepcat & Widger i'm in the same just can't stick boat. So i'm curious to see what ends up working for any of us. Let me know how accupuncture goes, i've thought about trying that, but haven't yet. This cycle i'm just taking regular vitamins, and not stressing. The tough part on top of everything else for me is I have to wait till I ovulate on the left side, with the right tube gone chances are slimmer with ovulation on that side, and the past 2 cycles have been a righty! Darn it!

I think if it doesn't work this cycle I may go and have a bit of reflexology....

I went through a stage of getting pregnant, then losing it, now since D&C in Jan I'm finding it hard to actually get pregnant again. Who knows what to think.

Bklove - hope all goes well. When you next ovulating on the left side? How can they tell?

 

[babytots]

thats fab news tansey hope the op goes well for you hunni!

i'm another that can fall pg easily just have trouble keeping hold of them ( i think its boggling that my first 2 were lost at 8 weeks (though got to 9 weeks with 2nd angel until i had a scan and found out) then lost jessica so late on. either they are linked in some way or jessica was just one of those things and my 2 angels were linked. i also think i had a m/c when i was 17 though hospital was so useless (i was bent over double in pain and bleeding but they made me wait) i left as i knew what was happening didnt need them to confirm it think was around 6 weeks but never did a pg test as my cycles were so irregular. this was before i had my girls so to me they truly are my little miracles. x

oh i hate having no answers its so soul destroying. never did i think my spare time would be filled with research upon research about the various causes when losing a baby.

Hi ladies my name is Jordan and i have had 4 MC's and one still birth at 7 1/2 months. I have endometrosis and the doctors have told me that it will be nearly in possible to carry a child to term. I have cysts coving my right ovary which is another one of my many growing problems. Im just so sick of dealing with the pain of the lost but i feel empty most of the time. Any advice?

 

[bklove]

littlemissme it is tough to deal with it each and everytime, but time and a great support makes it easier and this is a great place for that. Regarding whats going on, that could be a never ending road in itself, but I would keep looking for Dr.'s who want to help you get to where you want to be and are on the same page as you, which is hard. I've had to fire a few myself and right now i'm trying it on my own, i've suspended my gyn, and depending on what happens I know the next specialist i'm going to....I guess you just have to be proactive for yourself, but for some the best cure has been time.

Widger, as for which side i'm ovulating on, I can just tell, and I could be wrong, but especially since loosing the tube the pain on either side around ovulation time is pretty dominant and thats how I know.

 

[tansey]

How is everyone? Any developments?
Less than a week to my op now

 

[bklove]

Nothing new here, back on the baby making trail and waiting to catch that egg...so we'll see what happens.

 

[superp123]

Hi girls. Just had to come on and vent for a minute. Had my annual with a doc that does some fertility testing last week. Wanted to talk to him about spotting and about some testing. He very quickly burst my bubble. (BOOO!) He told me that because of the insurance I carry, he cannot even do the most basic fertility testing on me.... Even after I told him we'd pay cash. Not good or reassuring at all. Then he told me that if my period doesn't sort soon to come back in. He was not helpful or inspiring at all. In fact he really bummed me out, I came home and cried. I just feel so robbed! What an ass. What a crummy health care system we have here. Essentially sending the message that you're not allowed to become pregnant. (I cannot believe they can do this to people, I know I'm not alone in this) So unless I drop my insurance, and/or buy some more privately I'm stuck.
Feeling a bit like I should be doing something to get moving on this baby front again. I'm just so nervous about going back into the frying pan, iykwim. I'm toying with going back to the corporate world just to get better insurance. Or giving up until I feel the strength to try again. There again, I'm already 31. I really want to do more tests before trying again, but it doesn't seem to be happening for me. Or maybe I'm not talking to the right people Either way, I've become a bit paralyzed by it all. I don't have it in me to TTC, and at the same time I want a baby so badly. Can't help but wonder what's in God's grace for me to do?
Sorry girls just a bit shaken and floundering a bit. Thanks for listening.
