Dance - 5 weeks - Wow! Won't be long now.

Garfie - A diagnostic exam is where they do more images in different projections to look at something they saw on the screening exam. It turned out to be normal! I hope O or AF show up for you soon.

You probably won't remember, but my skin is itchy and sore feeling very very itchy and after weeks of trying every oil, cutting out things etc and at the end of my tether with my flaking itchy skin on my legs and torso, I rang the doctors yesterday to get an appointment..... and was told I cannot see see the doctor till friday! I am slowly being driven mad. my tummy and boobs look like they are covered in snow and it all itches like crazy. (and itching your boobs in public is not the done thing!) I've tried Olive oil, aqueous cream, cocnut oil, baby oil and cocoa butter. I have been washing my clothes in plain water with no softener or detergent. I am allergic to fish oil which is in a lot of commercial creams so now I am out of ideas. When I take off my clothes it's like my body has shed a huge pile of dandruff.
I spent last night crying and rang the doctors today to beg to see a doctor sooner. so they squeezed me in at 7pm. The doctor was lovely and spent ages with me. He has prescribed some lotion called Aveeno and says it may take several days. He said that I need to have liver and kidney function tests either tomorrow or the next day to rule that out. Got to reception and gave them the slip and they looked on the computer and the next available appointment was 19th August! A nurse was in reception and asked what the blood tests were for and said for goodness sake come in tomorrow at 10 and I'll do them on my break! Hopefully it's all just my stupid skin and with a few days cream application I'll feel better!

Creative that sounds so awful , I empathise as often I get a flare up,of dermatitis e all over my body which itches like crazy !! It's no fun especially when you get hot when sleeping ya could tear your skin off !!!! The cream you have been given is really good and should give you some relief , I hope it clears up for you soon xxxx my doc said in pregnancy your skin becomes hyper sensitive !

 

[Creative]

my doc said in pregnancy your skin becomes hyper sensitive !

Thanks
When I was nursing, the hospital changed from bar soap to a liquid soap (many years ago!) and from the day I started using it my hands became raw. The fronts were flaking and the back just had no surface to the skin. The company who produced the soap were called in and they ran patch tests etc to find out what I amd 6 other nurses were reacting too. Took months to get my hand back to some sort of normality they are still very prone to dermatitis.
This morning my skin is still itching like crazy, but the cream is definatly forming a barrier and the stingyness is not there. Got to go for my bloods in a minute

 

[garfie]

Creative - I have dermatitis at the entrance to my ears - and that is bad enough, so you poor thing having it all over

Hope the results don't take to long to come back.

AFM - Still waiting

Well I had 5 tubes taken and I wasn't a wuss once I'd allowed her to actually stick the needle in!
Why the heck I panic over needles I do not know. It really isn't too bad once it is in.
I end up feeling really silly and think next time I shall be brave, but next time I am never brave just woosy!
48 hours for the results to come in.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the well wishes. I'm home recovering from yesterday's surgery. Didn't get out of the hospital until the late afternoon as the anesthesia threw me for a loop again. However, it was a much nicer hospital and they didn't push me out the door like the one from Feb. I'm in much less pain that I had in Feb. Again, this is a new doc so I'm very impressed. The mystery was solved, the pregnancy was in my right tube. Amazing the idiot doc never found this and had no plans of f/u with me. Anywho, part or all of the tube had to be taken. So happy I'm finally at least I think on the road to recovery. So it's all in God's hands and I pray that my left side works and has some good eggies left. How's everyone else feeling? btw if something doesn't make sense, i sorta can't see straight still from the anesthesia lol

So glad it 's a positive outcome. Now lots of positive thinking!

 

[crysshae]

Dawn - So glad you found a good doctor who actually took care of you.

Creative - I hope you get some relief very soon.

Continued good luck and baby dust for everyone still waiting.

 

[josie1234]

Blimey the dermatitis sounds terrible, hope the cream is helping and you are soon feeling better.

Dawn - big hugs you have certainly been through a tough time, hopefully things will get better and you are soon back ttc.

Thanks Cry. No classes today so that is good. Been doing a cake for my niece's birthday as we are off oop north tomorrow for a few days.

Hi everyone, total newbie but I've read almost half of this thread and would really like to join in. I'm 38, mc blighted ovum on 2nd July 2013. Total shock pregnancy but since loosing this baby it's made me think that maybe I've got one more in me. . I've had 7 pregnancys. 5 children 18,15,10,7,3.

My recent mc was natural and I've been doing opks for the last 14 days but no smiley face as yet. Don't really know what's going on with my cycle atm. It's frustrating.

Love reading this thread as everyone seems so lovely and supportive. Hoping it may bring me some luck too secretly.

 

[Creative]

Welcome Lexi !

 

[crysshae]

Welcome Lexi - I'm so sorry for your loss and that we must meet under these circumstances. It is frustrating waiting on O or AF after miscarriage. It drove me crazy. I wish you luck!

 

[Lexi5]

Thanks creative and cry, yeah it's totally frustrating. I took a pregnancy test after 2 weeks hoping for a negative which it was. Then started with clearblue opk everyday. Fourth and fifth day lines were def darker but no smiley face. Then went back to the faint lines. Do you think possibly I've missed it?? Feel like I've got to keep testing now till the witch shows up. Arrrhhh lol.

Should I count the day I miscarried as cd1? That would make me cd32. Sorry to bombard you with questions lol.

Hope everyone is well. I've read a lot if this thread but more the beginning so would love to know where everyone is at now.
