and I ......

I'm on a half way road to not going down the investigations route. We've been trying 3 years in april but I've put the lack of conceiving down to the tumour at the mo (May well be kidding myself on that one now!), dh has just had his test for his little swimmers on friday so should get results this week. I've had the bloods done and ultrasound scan of ovaries which showed all ok. There's not really much more we intend to do really. Mainly because like Nunny I have too much weight to lose so there is no way we would be able to have ivf. The weight has come as a result of the tumour and I now find it incredibly hard to lose despite having a healthy diet (although swine flu did help me lose a stone which I have kept off).
It's been a weird cycle for me not using cbfm, I feel totally out of control which I hate. I don't know when I have ov'd or indeed if I have (cd19 today so would think I have done) so will not be able to tell when af is due or how long my lp has been this month! So definately using next cycle along with dh and I having a reflexology treatment! Although that may all depend on the outcome of his test which I am really dreading!

Maddie I understand exactly what you mean, its also why I told you the hormones they test-because some doctors (the first two I saw) wouldnt refer me for anything. Took a harrowing experience and a complaint to PCT and I was in the system. Long stry short I wish I had known that was the starting point because I could have asked the doctors for it and might have been saved loads of pain (emotional and physical). Funny thing is,when I moved house I had to go to a new gp (my current one) she read my notes and said she had no clue what the previos surgery was up to so she wanted to start with me from scratch. Sent me straight to the nurse for the bloods to be done again-but there are signs all over the surgery explaining that they do not do pg tests:rotfl:the process goes you POAS and if it is a bfp you take it in for your gp to look at.
Smartie sorry ,thought Id edited enough of the tmi

Have you got any symptoms yet Courgette?

Bit sick but not too bad (had dreadful constipation but that has, er, eased in the last few days), a bit of tiredness but think that's properly kicking in now, have felt really out of it this weekend and sore boobs. Feels like a mini-milestone has been passed today as when I was pg with my mc'd baby the bleeding started at 6+4 which is today. How you doing? xxx

Nothing much symptom wise Courgette. A few crampy pains, and like you I'm knackered by about 9pm at night!

smartie I'm a bit like that - I dont think I see the point in an early scan unless you need one. Last pregnancy I saw the heartbeat at 7wk5 then a week later at the next scan there was no heartbeat. I am just not going to be reassured again until I have reached the 12 week scan,need a BFP first though.

I agree. I had an early scan when I first started bleeding that showed a tiny bean bouncing around but I still lost it 2 days later . A friend of mine is currently 9 weeks, she phoned the other day to say how much better she felt now she'd had a scan and seen the heartbeat cos the mc risk is now 2% or summat. I kept my gob shut. My mum also thinks early scans are very unhealthy for bean and even though there's no current medical research to support this she tends to be right

Are you about a week behind me? I'm due 25th Aug. I'm back at work tomorrow, must say I'm not looking forward to it! I feel more zonked than tired, as in I wander round the house slightly zombie-like but not sleeping that much more

Roughly yes...my due date is around September 5th.

I'm really dreading going back to work tomorrow. Aside from the job itself I dont actually get in until around 7.15pm in the evening. It's a reallyb long day that I fond knackering ordinarily...lord knows what I'm going to feel like now!

Added to that you cant really tell anyone at work this early on, so if you're feeling pants you have to just get on with it really.

Hope you dont mind me jumping in and asking a question.

We are planning to TTC in around 3 months - I currently have a mirena coil. When should I start taking folic acid - does this have to be prescribed?

Thanks in advance

Just a personal opinion and don't want anyone to panic or not have theirs but I agree about the early scans. I saw mine the day before at the EPU with a healthy heart beat and was sent home told not to worry, then had full MC the next day.

Although from week 6 I was bleeding, it wasn't unexpected, it felt like someone was playing a really cruel trick on me.

Next time I'm lucky to get a bfp I have decided I don't want any early scans, and tbh, if it's going to happen a scan won't change things. Until 12 weeks I won't be happy anyway.

Had a bad couple of days, just feel really down, don't know if it's the end of Xmas and return to work or if ttc is getting to me. We've been trying for just over 12 months now (and had two mc). Am down to the 1ww now but not feeling overly optimistic about it. DH had an operation on his knee on 22 Dec and so clearly that is affecting our ability to BD properly and regularly.

My last reflexology appointment on Tuesday too. Not sure if I shall continue with them or not... feel a bit meh about everything really. Just want to curl up in bed and cry.

I'll be back when I find my PMA, I know it's round here somewhere.
