Well done Fairy, brilliant news. Sending lots of sticky vibes your way. X
Frozen - good luck for the trigger x
Chickpea - hugs to you, what an awful time for you.
RG - pleased the bleeding has settled down. X
AFM - feeling a bit better today, I slept well last night. I still can't get hopeful but I am still going through the motions with the gel and taking my folic acid.

Oh Chickpea such big hugs xxx
Stealth AF attack this morning, for some reason it's hit me really hard this month. May be because I was praying so much for a valentine's miracle.
Cried so much that hubby just bought me a box of crème eggs, and some orange hot chocolate.Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.0 -
Chickpea, I am so very much thinking of you
And the follie four

Well, it's over again, time of death: 4am..
At least it happened quickly. And I even feel a small amount of relief that I don't have to keep fearing the worst, because it's already happened.
This is quite unexpected though - I never imagined that once I cracked the problem of how to conceive, I'd have a new problem: how to stay pg.
3 m/cs in 7 months! I suppose this is a micro-miscarriage/chemical pregnancy really, since it didn't even get to 5w. The mmc in Aug got to 7w, the m/c in Dec got to 6w and this one 5w...my body is also getting 'better' at m/c it seems..
I guess I'll visit the GP this week and getting referred to the recurrent m/c specialist, just in case I ever manage it again and there's somehow anything to be done to stop it the next time.
In the meantime - I guess I'll go for a nice hot bath and throw some wine in the fridge. A few bottles.
Putting a positive spin on things, at least now I can get my money's worth out of the 5* all inclusive holiday I've booked for Easter..
Take care and have a good Sunday,

Huge hugs to you Chickpea - life seems so painful and unfair at times. :grouphug::wall:0

Oh Chickpea, how awful for you.
Just shows that conceiving is only a junction on the long road.
As you at now at mc3 (sorry to put it bluntly) will your gp now offer help and investigations? You seem to have conceiving cracked so hopefully your gp can make them stay also, perhaps you have an immune issue or similar. Apologies if I've missed any information however.
You are so strong , but take comfort where and if you can and need it.
I'm having a bit of a fret here!
Sciatica is pretty flipping awful ATM lots of painkillers and physio to get me through it, but it's not improving much if at all.
Im in pre treatment phase ATM and clinic have said to treat myself as if I am pg so no NSAIDS etc. I'm taking a paracetamol based painkiller for it, but taking as little as is possible to get by. Clinic has said I can take 5g of paracetamol in 24 hours with no issue and I'm only taking 2-3 but I'm still worrying about the effects. But I guess it's the worry that will be me downfall rather than the drugs, iykwim?
So telling myself that I should just take the damn tablets and stop fretting about it cos being in pain will make me worry more and sleep less.
Ahhhh the eternal worries of a long termer!!
2 weeks til endo scratch, lovely.
Have a great day ladies, thinking of all you pupo ladies also, come on little embies!!
Anyone else cycling soon?2 angels in heaven :A0 -
Big hugs chickpea. A friend of mine also has recurrent m/c and their specialist seems hopeful something can be so I really hope it will be the same for you.The biscuit will only dare to be just a biscuit when it is with its true friend the potato. (Edward Monkton) :beer:0
