hi ladies thanks for all ur wonderful words of support.tears have dried up a little this eve.seem to be sort of ok when i keep myself busy.boyf has to work tonight but feeling ok.had a little bit of brown when i wiped this morning but nothing since.maybe it will start before i go for another scan.the gp is calling on mon with a date.have done a little research online re misdiagnosis but am so sure on my dates that theres no real chance of that.plus i used a digital which was 3+ on the conception indicator at 4+4.not sure how to deal with walking round with this inside me and not knowing the outcome.and of course i left all my school work til this weekend!apologies for the long winded pity post.love to all vx

 

[chickenchaser]

Oh nessaw, I am so sorry honey, you look after yourself and we are here if you need to talk. Big hugs to you.

 

[nessaw]

have indulged in a small glass of wine and 2 choc eclairs!all preg symptoms have gone.isnt it strange how the brain works.i thought i was less tired etc cos it was half term.

 

[Maddy40]

Nessaw, I am so sorry that you have to go through this.

 

[purplelou]

Nessaw...big loves chick! Take care and look after yourself xxxx

 

[Dwrgi]

Am so sorry, Ness. It is just too cruel for words. I am very glad that you have had a glass of wine and some choc eclairs. Always good!

You WILL get past this, and this doesn't mean that it'll never happen. This shows that you and your BF CAN get preggers together, so try and take some comfort from that, if you can. I can understand if you want to tell me where to stick it!!

We are all here and know your pain. Take it easy and be extra kind to yourself, there was just nothing that you could do to change this outcome, just one of those things.

Lots of love, Axxxxx

 

[tigerlily1975]

Aww, Nessaw it's a lot to deal with, please be kind to yourself

Whereabouts in Herts are you? I spent about 15 years of my life in Barnet!

Take care, lovely

C xx

good morning everyone!!

Kiwi - it sounds like you are doing great so far ....and wow that does seem like a short protocol - you will be there before you know it! What drugs/injections are they giving you?
Good luck!!!

Purps - hope your Dad continues to do a bit better everyday!

Gotta run - but just wanted to post this for anyone needing a pick me up... I have decided to watch this every morning when I wake up on my ipod as it makes me feel better about myself and reassures me.... I hope it helps you ladies too.... Make sure you watch til the end.....

have a great weekend everyone!

AFM - tomorrow is transfer day and trying to keep busy today....

Hi Dashka,

I am on 450iu of puregon and tomorrow I start on Orgalutran injections to stop ovulation. On both of these for next 5 nights. After egg collection I am on Medrone, Oxytetracycline and cyclogest pess. Looking at my "calender" it says DAY 6 TRANSFER - cyclogest pess twice daily until pregnancy test and continue on cyclogest if test is positive. How long do I have to stay on the pessaries for?

Good luck with your transfer tomorrow (or today your time).

Ness - Yeah, dates can't be that off the mark. I'm glad you had a little & chocolate as they always seem to help - even if its just a smidgen. My 7.5wk mc was blighted ovum. The scan was at 6 wks & no hb & empty sac. Was devastated, but it only took about 1.5 weeks to mc naturally. I think BF's was about a week after, but correct me if I'm wrong BF?

It sucks to say this, but hopefully yours will come naturally & swiftly - it sounds like you might be having a start already. I know you understand that statement, as it is very difficult for any mc - blighted ovum, no hb, mmc, or any mc & then especially when you know its going to happen & you have to wait. You may want to give it at least a good week, though, hun & just see from there? You may not even have to make that choice.

If you have any questions about it, ask away as there's no such thing as TMI, or privacy around here, other than perhaps our identities!

 

[LilSluz]

Want2 -

Froliky - how are you doing, hun? I hope you are doing a bit better now that some time has past. Its a tough thing to lose one's parent, but I've been thinking about you. Big coming your way...

Dashka - Thanks for the video - always a great way to start off the day +++++!!!! I posted in your journal, but again thinking happy orange thoughts & sending ~~~~ to your embies & you for tomorrow!!! Good luck honey!!!

DrH - Hope you are still doing well & everything's calmed down.

Green - Your dip is fine - even if you use the 1st one (which, btw is you real one, cheater ) because its not even below your coverline & 2 days is nothing to worry about - just if consistently low. Also many girls get a dip below cover & that's fine, too - sometimes its an implantation dip, but sometimes its just due to estro surge that we all get about 1 week post-ov. But some people get no dips & that's fine too. Depends what your own unique patterns are which you'll start to realize after 3 cycles or so . And don't worry about the roller coaster - if you look at all of mine other than this month it resembles a mountain range & a few others have charts like that too.

Pad - been coming by & checking -are your results OK chick?

 

[want2conceive]

Good Luck Tomorrow Dash! Keep us updated!!!

 

[nessaw]

whqt do you ladies think about going back to work in this situation.i work 45 minute drive away and with children.i really dont want this to start at school and then need to get home.but also dont want to sit about at home just waiting.aarrgh!

 

[purplelou]

Ness I would say it depends on how you fel yourself. I carried on working last year when I MC...I think personally it helped me to be doing something..but that is me. If you feel like it might be too much, take some time! Do what feels right !

Big

 

[chickenchaser]

Ness I think you need to see how you are feeling, take each day as it comes. Going to work may be the distraction that you need, but I can also understand you might not want to be around children right now. I'm sorry I haven't been much help, I just wanted to show my support.
I hope you are feeling a little better and the wine and chocolate are helping.

 

[chickenchaser]

Moon - Sending you hugs, I'm glad somedays are getting easier for you, continue to look after yourself honey I would have kept the apple seed too. It is a connection to your baby, keep it if it brings you comfort.
I hope you enjoy the orchestra this afternoon. One of my Favourite sounds on earth is an orchestra tuning up. Beautiful.

Purple any news yet? I know it has suddenly got cold here but Purplet can't hide in there forever. How is your dad doing? Sending you loads of love and hugs.

Lady H , looking good honey

Dwrgi, Hi Honey how are you doing. I'm sorry I still haven't made it over to your journal. I will do soon I promise. It is nice to see you back here more often. Please continue to hang around with your words of wisdom

Owl, I'm sending you loads of positive thoughts and keeping everything crossed for you (even my legs I might as well, please read AFM)

Tigerlilly, Hi honey, How are you doing?

Peddle, Hope you enjoy date night, I'm a great believer in date night and we do it every week on a Wednesday (thats why you don't see me very often on that night) It really does make you relax.

Want2 How are you feeling honey? Its all sounding great

Smallhelen, When do you test honey, I hope this is your month

Lils, Isn't TTC in a straight jacket called bondage

Kiwi Good luck with the injections honey and I'm glad your boss was understanding. Mine knows we have been having problems too and she has been fab. Sometimes I think it is best to be upfront with them especially when you are going to need time off.

Dash, trying to keep up with you honey, 3 is a lucky number whats your next step?

DrH so happy for you honey, How does this effect the wedding plans?

Froliky, Nice of you to pop in, Hope you are doing well.

Lils you always put a smile on my face thanks

Hi to all I haven't mentioned and love to all

AFM. Thanks for the get well messages and yes I do partake in a little cannibalistic behaviour but I do try to keep it to a minimum. So I have stayed with the tomato soup this time. I went and had my day 21 blood tests done on Friday (which we had adjusted to day 26 to fit a 33/34 day cycle) then AF goes and turns up this morning on day 28 So my progesterone is worthless. They also tested my thyroid so at least that will be useful and my GP is on holiday now until a week on Monday so have to wait until then to get results. What a faf. Do you ladies think I should tell my GP that AF came early and risk her wanted to do the test again before the fertility specialist referral. Or just keep my mouth shut and get the referral as we all expected it anyway. Would really appreciate your thoughts.

 

[drhouse]

get the referral cc and then tell the specialist! ha ha ha....

That's what I would do. If there is a wait to see the specialist, then tell the GP next time when she rings with the results.

Spoiler

I am at a loss what to do about the wedding. If I knew I would tell you girls. Can I get married with a ten day old baby? probably not. so do i wait till 12/40 before I cancel or 8 weeks or what. If I cancel and we have a miscarriage, I'd have nothing to look forward to. We are very very early pregnant - see the ticker

 

[purplelou]

DrH I would hang on . You have time to think about it! A friend of mine actually got married at 38 weeks pregnant! If it doesn't make a difference to loosing deposits etc then wait a while and see how things go.

Chicken glad you are feeling a bit better and yes, what drH said, have the specialist appt made then tell him about the early af!

Moon and nessaw lovely big squishy for you bothxxxx

Owl and smallhelen..keeping everything crossed for you ladies!!

Pad...any news on your tests? And how are you doing?

Ladyh is it all sinking in yet?

Pebble..a date night sounds lovely! And what a nice idea! It's easy to get stuck in a rut of work, dinner tv and bed every night!!

Frolicky.. Big loves chick xxxx how are you doing?

Asry, drS, want2 big loves xxxxx

Lils.. How are you lovely? Hope none of your family were affected by the superstorm! Xxxx

Butterfly, your trip to London sounds fab! How did you like the film? Can't wait to see it myself!

Dashka...thinking about you today! Hope it all goes well xxxxx

Kiwi..hope you are managing those injections ok! Xxx

Afm...still no news!
Just waiting for in laws to bring my mum home from hospital visiting. They took her this morning to see dad so they could visit at the same time. Then we will take her for some lunch and go in to see dad this evening.

 

[Butterfly67]

So much to catch up on after a few days away

Nessaw

Am soo sorry hon, like lils said we went through the same thing. Here is what happened with me :

Spoiler

I had brown spotting at 7+3 so I went and got a scan and it showed blighted ovum (empty sac). I was supposed to go back 1 week later for second scan and on that morning I had slightly redder spotting and mild cramps. She said after scan that I would likely miscarry shortly. I didn't want to go anywhere in case I started miscarrying at that point. The next afternoon I started getting cramps which steadily got worse in the evening until I had the miscarriage overnight. Anyway, basically what I wanted to say was that for me, looking back, as soon as I started getting cramps I needed to get home so that may be a signal for you. I had probably 4-6 hours before it got bad so enough warning. This was about a week after first brown spotting. Anyway, I know everyone is different (although lils experience sounds similar to mine) but hope this may help in some way

Gonna post that before I lose it as on iPad
