[cathgibbs]

Chig - Good luck hun!!

Ladies i have my first Apt with my Ob/Gyn consultant on the 28th - i know every apt is diff but does anyone know what will happen this apt? Im in the UK as i know its diff to the US xxx

 

[chig]

Thank you ladies for the kind words! I also hope I get my BFP by this weekend and finally get my forever baby!

I am tempted to test today...

 

[Laubull]

Cath, I can't help as I've not seen one but I am interested in having one! Did you have to get a referral for this appointment through your GP?

Cath- I did have one (actually a couple) after the MTX. The first one, they did an internal US to see if everything was out of my tubes (they weren't). The second one was basically to discuss next steps. That was when they told me how long to wait, etc. I mean, they had been saying that all along, but it was more of a conversation than anything else. They wanted to see how i was doing mentally and physically.

Chig - great restraint! I would not be able to wait.

Laubull - I have started doing baby aspirin. I seriously take like a million things a day.
Folic Acid for obvious reasons
B-6 to help blood flow (so that eggie doesn't get caught in my tubes again)
CoQ10 - to make my eggs stronger (DH takes this too)
Pre-natal (to build up just in case)
Baby Aspirin (days 14- 28 of my cycle, and maybe further if I ever make it that far)

Now I will be taking Clomid too. I should say that these are all self-prescribed (except the folic acid and Clomid). But they are vitamins, so I figure they can't hurt.

I can't wait to start Clomid. I am supposed to get AF today and she can not get here soon enough. I have started spotting brown (TMI - sorry), so I hope any minute now...

well i had a LAP and D&C after my MTX so i think everything is out now, but you never know!! no hun my consultant wanted to continue seeing me as my levels were rising a stupid amount after MTX.

Girls i dont know how this is possible but im so scared just done a hcg (im a poas addict) along with a opk, i can see a very faint line on the hpt im so scared its only been 7 weeks since MTX?! can anyone else see this? its very faint xxx

Hmm, I don't see anything myself, but it might not be a close enough shot to tell. Can you take a closer pic?

Like your new profile pic, btw. You and dh make a cute couple.

 

[cathgibbs]

It's not the best of pics,that's the closest I could get before it went bury

Awwww thank you lovely,he's the love of my life xxx

Grkgrl sounds like you'll need a pill box soon ;-)

Interesting that both your consultants (grkgrl &cath) wanted to carry on seeing you, must be different where I go. Anyway I will head to see my GP ASAP to discuss aspirin, etc.

Cath, as for a line there might be on on the inverse one but I'm not sure.... You haven't been trying have you? I assume you've been discharged so your levels were 0?

[cathgibbs]

Haven't been trying at all hun,been doing the withdrawel method Yeh was discharged 4 weeks ago so been on on 1600 folic acid Im so worried x

 

[chig]

Cath- Hun, I am not sure I see anything, but it could just be the picture. I know sometimes the pictures don't come up as good as you see it in person. I guess test again in a couple of days and see if it gets darker.

 

[cathgibbs]

But what will happen if it is pos it's only 7/8 weeks since mtx!! xxx

 

[autigers55]

cath - I dont see anything and if you are only 3dpo I wouldnt worry about it too much because it's probably a bad test and implantation probably wont occur for a least 2-3 days, since implantation occurs between 6-12dpo normally. GL to you though!!

afm - I am on cycle #4 after mc/mtx and still nothing. I know it takes time, but when you have been trying for baby #2 for nearly 2yrs 8mos, you lose patience and start getting depressed. I am going to my doctor for a yearly check up on Monday and while there, I am going to ask about getting some much needed help and maybe before the year is out, I will finally be pregnant with my forever baby.

 

[cathgibbs]

I don't really know when I ov,I had a pos opk Thursday-Sunday on and off,Arghhh!!!

Awwww hun def ask if there's something they can do,have you had a hsg xxx

 

[GrkGrl]

Autigers - are you going to see a RE? I really think you should. I don't think the OB/G can give you the same level of expertise.

I made an appt with one. My friend was trying for over a year. She had ovulation issues, and her DH also had "swimmy" issues, so they had two things working against them. Now she is 3 mos prego with a healthy bean! It was enough of a success story for me to make an appt. Haven't gone yet, but I am looking forward to it. It's their job to get you pregnant so I want to give them that chance.

 

[jammers77]

Cath, I don't see anything myself. If you're sure you're 3dpo then I don't see how it would be at all possible to have a + yet. Don't fret!

Autigers, I'm so sorry you're continuing to have this issue. I agree with the other ladies. If there is something a miss, a trip to the RE would give you some help. And if everything's ok, then at least you'd have peace of mind.

Hey Cath
Hmmm, I dont really see too much either hun and i have serious Line-eye-itis. Still think it would be too early as well but take a test in a few more days and see how you go...if it is positive, you will need to have a discussion with your obstetrician as to what to do... Wishing you all the best luvvie - hoping it all turns out as it should xxx (withdrawl method was how i got pregnant the first time round... not so reliable hey..heh heh! )

 

[Laubull]

Cath, Renzal is right its not the most reliable method, we used condoms during the 12 week wait, I also started bbt tracking so knew when I was ovulating and when it would be ok. I hope it's nothing and just an evap, you don't need to go through anything else. Good luck

AFM, I forgot to say last night I got my beta results, down to 24 now from 71. Hospital say it is a miscarriage but Im going back again tomorrow for what I hope will be a final test! Then it'll just be counting down to O day and trying to catch that egg first time round!!

Hope everyone else is well, Autigers try to see someone for help

[cathgibbs]

We cant wear condoms as OH comes out in a irritation Well i had a Pos OPK on Thurs then on Sunday so im going to go as Sun as my O Date, there is no line on this mornings so i think i might have had a dodgy batch yest as 3 ICs had a line on them! Im so relieved!! Thank you for your help ladies xxx

 

[cathgibbs]

P.S im glad your HCG is droping quickly hun xxxxx
