Thanks Mommy and abc. I'm ok thanks, not even been to gp yet, just burying my head in the sand and drinking too much wine at the moment! Think I've put on about 10 lbs [emoji33][emoji33]I'm thinking about just letting go for a bit and seeing what happens.. that doesn't sit well with my control freakiness though lol. Have you had all your tests /checks abc? Any results back yet? Did they follow your hcg back to zero?

Mummy - I think where you are at right now is where I was at a couple of weeks ago. It has gotten better, slowly, for me, so I hope it does for you as well!!! I love my wine as well - and if it's what helps right now, do it! (I think that's basically what Pbn told me a few weeks ago LOL). It's good I think that you're taking some time to relax and just see what happens. Did you get any more advice from atomic as far as what to do if you do keep trying (for egg quality, fertility, etc.)? Will you try COQ10 or other supplements? I've started COQ10 again - only 200 mg, but hoping that helps. I've gotten the results for all the blood clotting stuff - she tested for like 8 different blood clotting disorders, mostly genetic. Those were all normal. We're still waiting for the karyotype/chromosome results... It's been almost 2.5 weeks since mine was done (1.5 since DH had his) and I'm really going crazy stressing about it - even though there is a low chance that that's the issue. And I have a uterus ultrasound on Monday to check for polyps/fibroids/scar tissue. So hopefully by sometime next week we'll have all the results and then the RE can tell us what she thinks (like, if everything's normal, then what?). My last HCG test was 25 and I didn't get it retested again but AF started in full force on Sunday. So I think things are getting back to normal, physically at least

Not sure about the baby aspirin yet. The RE ran a bunch of tests for blood clotting disorders and said if they all came back normal that baby aspirin wouldn't help - and all the tests did come back normal. So I may ask her again and also ask my OBGYN because he thinks I should try it. I'm leaning towards using it though - feel like I need to try something. My OB says he's seen it help even in women who don't have blood clotting issues, but the RE says the data doesn't show that.

Ugh I hate those glucose tests!! I'm sorry the fatigue and back pain have kicked in - Only a few more months!!!

Yes, that’s a tough call. Even if you decide to take it, it shouldn’t hurt anything. Would ask your ob their honest opinion of which he thinks you should do! I hated when everything came back normal from my tests after my miscarriages. I was just like well how do I fix it? I couldn’t fix it, I just put it all in the lord’s hands and he fixed it. As the tests were showing for me there was nothing to fix.
I hate it too just hoping to pass the 1hour test so I don’t even have to fool with the three hour test! Yes will be here soon!
Eek and then I’ll be cheering you on!

Yea. Well, I just found this article today: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/301350.php
So, I think I'm going to try it.

I *barely* passed the 1 hour glucose with my two boys. I've heard the 3 hour is AWFUL - have you had to do that one before? Hope you pass the 1 hour!!!

Hi ladies hope your all well, sorry to keep popping back in but was wondering if pbn or anyone could do some chart investigating? ;p

Basically had my dating scan yesterday and I’m 4 days further along than I thought and I just can’t figure out how?!

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6ca024

Anyone got any ideas? I’m convinced it just means another huge baby lol

Wishing you all bfps this Month xx

[Pbn3]

Girlswaylondon a dating scan is open to a few days leeway. It's such a small measurement to be taking that you could get it measured twice in two different positions or by two different technicians and be measuring days apart. I don't believe there's any doubt you oed when cd26. It's too clear of a sustained shift to be anything else [emoji4]

I like that theory, men are usually laid back in contraception so heres hoping it continues. After my 3rd we also did pull out method but nothing happened!
Yeh i think it’d be nice to tell him after, can i ask why you have early appointments? Here in England we only get our booking appointment with midwife at 8-10 weeks, scan if all is well at 3 months. Only should u start spotting that they may book u for in an early scan at 8 weeks.
I remember my first ever preg that ended i miscarriage at 7/8 weeks, i had the blood loss on Sun but they wouldnt book me in for scan until thurs so i had to wait all those days, and although i knew it was a loss i secretly hope it would be ok. The wait was pathetic. Emotionally distressing.
Lol love the thinking of a bigger car, im sure that will make him happy!

I was deffo 100% hoping for a girl, both my and DH family sides all go girl boy girl boy and the fact i had already two boys was shocking. There was some disappointment but i have sooo much going on in my preg worries and then birth, that im so stressed about other things (DS2 had suspected menigitus so in hosp for 3 weeks whilst he had treatment. DS3 i started bleeding heavily at 36 weeks, when he was born he had kidney infection so in hosp for a week for treatment) i dont do thing by halves loll! When we came home i did look at him feel why aint u a girl but tbh it all went after a few weeks. It didnt even get me down in a deep way cos as i say ive had so much history and worries that im just thankful for the healthy bubs i get.
The way i see it if i was to find out i was having a boy durin preg it may just keep me dwelling on fact its not a girl and not enjoy my preg. Yes at birth if i was to hear boy id be a lil disappointment but then your babys in your arms and your so busy/exhausted anyways!

All my friends find out and they tell me to but im adamant on not! I have extra scans so have lots of opportunities to find out but so far ive been able to hold strong.
Alot of people i know find out but just say aint telling anyone, and i think thats fair, it should be your choice if you want to share or not.
Familes eyyy,,, ive been prodicted girls two times mainly cos of the crazy sickness and my sis had girls with her sickness. Didnt work for me though...
Comments can be annoyin just wish people didnt say anythin!

I told DH yesterday [emoji123] his only comment was: "Pregnant? Yet AGAIN???" LOL that was not what I expected but at least he didn't seem sad or worried. That was what I felt about his reaction last month.

Here in germany it's quite usual to get ultrasound at least every 4 weeks. Most docs start at 6 weeks but mine seems to like doing a lot of ultrasound. It can be nice later, but atm I don't see the point. Of course he didn't see anything yesterday and he wanted me to come back on friday. I negotiated it to monday and I really hope we can see something then. I know England is "famous" for its medical system[emoji51] I've studied in the UK for one semester and I had mumps there. That was no fun [emoji51] horrible to let you wait for days for an ultrasound when you were bleeding!!

Well hopefully there is a blip of something on the screen so you wont feel too worried - but it really is ok if there isn't!! Will you ask for betas? That would give you much better information at this point then the ultrasound.

I don't think we'll try earlier then end of May... For one, if we tried next cycle and got pregnant (and obviously, if it actually stuck), the due date would be only a few days off of DS1 which I don't really want. Plus I did start back on LE (though I'm struggling!) so I'd like a little more time on that, since I ate horribly those 4 weeks between finding out I was pregnant and the D&C. DH may have some work travel sometime in the next month and I just don't know if I'll feel "ready" yet. While I know it my head that there is probably a good chance that I can still have another baby (unless the chromosome results come back bad), I don't have any confidence right now that I wont just keep miscarrying. So, I think the time off right now is good, as much as it also sucks We'll see. Maybe I'll change my mind in the next 3 weeks and ask for Clomid for next cycle and then make a half-hearted attempt (immediate J&D or something), but I think it's probably better to just wait.

Of course my OB didn't see anything. Except a cyst on my ovary measuring 2,5 cm of which he said that it was a follicle that didn't release an egg. So there was at least one other big follicle and now I'm really scared of multiples. But I think, my beta should be higher then. From my hpt's I can see that it is developping really similar to the pregnancies of DS1 and 2. My OB offered me to take beta and prog but I know that this would make me even more crazy than I already am [emoji85] This waiting for numbers... And in the end it doesn't mean anything because the important thing is what can be seen in ultrasound. I'll go back on monday at 5 weeks exactly and hope to see a sac then. With DS2 we saw the sac at that time...

I understand why you want to wait and it really sounds "reasonable"... But from your words I can also see that you are a bit torn on the other hand maybe to try next month again regardless of what is reasonable. The good thing is you don't have to decide now and in a month everything might hopefully look more positive to you again. Have you thought about asking for femara? I think it's said to be better for egg quality so maybe that would give you a bit more reassurance to try again when you are ready?
