Really glad everything was more positive for you, I’m delighted
Thankyou - i hope so. I’m under no illusion that this next stage in the journey will be easy, but ImThat’s so amazing. Gosh you’ve really worked hard. Pretty exciting NY for you!
Wishing you well with all of this. What a huge amount to have gone through. How lucky you saw the top doc though! As much as none of us wish we were here on this thread (or at least, we wish we were just here for a cycle or two and no more!) you’re very welcomeThanks for setting up this thread. I hope everyone is ok today
I’ve had two consecutive miscarriages with the second one having complications.
I was referred to the recurrent miscarriage unit (surprised I was referred). Initially I wanted nothing to do with it (I was asked if I’d like to be referred when I was having my second MC).
a few months later I felt mentally strong enough so got all my bloods taken.
They found I have a rare autoimmune disorder which explains why I miscarried perfectly measuring babies at 8 weeks.
I was lucky enough to see the top consultant at the unit (totally pot luck) and he was great.
I am very high risk because of the diagnosis which means if I do get pregnant I will be under the care of a team which is doctor led with weekly appointments and far more tests and scans. Weirdly this has been a comfort to me and my husband.
I will need to inject myself daily with meds the moment I find out I’m pregnant.
my last mc was in April this year and I’m only now deciding I’m ready to try.
we ttc last month but obviously nothing happened and we’re trying again this month but I have a feeling it’s going to take a while to conceive x
Im 41 with stage 4 endometriosis so after my second mc I just assumed I’d be told there’s nothing that can be done. I was so surprised they gave me a referral without me having to ask.
I’m glad you didn’t have to fight for what you should be referred for anyway!Im 41 with stage 4 endometriosis so after my second mc I just assumed I’d be told there’s nothing that can be done. I was so surprised they gave me a referral without me having to ask.
I absolutely hate the narrative that mc just happen and also after the age of 30 you’re basically on the fertility scrap heap
It’s just not true.
I’m so so glad that they referred you. I’m 40 and trying to conceive a second - I took a break for two months but started trying last nov. Period is like clockwork. I’m due in 7 days so fingers crossed but I’m not overly hopeful. Turning 40 has really done a number on my psyche this year!Im 41 with stage 4 endometriosis so after my second mc I just assumed I’d be told there’s nothing that can be done.

) but also whilst trying to be chill and have fun, which I also think we managed. And I’m trying to just be positive and calm and send good vibes into my body. I had to look up on my app how many DPO I am which I feel is a positive start . Equally I kind of already know it will all end in snotty tears when my sodding period turns up again in 11 days, or whatever my apps are predicting.

We had sex every day last month for 8 days solid over my fertile window and nothing. I got so bored of it in the endI’m on my way to 40 and it feels like some kind of ticking time bomb, even though it shouldn’t be! I’m 3 DPO and once again we made monumental efforts this cycle (why yes, I think we would both like medals
yet the first time I got pregnant (sadly ended in mc) it was a total shock as I’d just come off the pill, had no idea about my fertile window, I was 41 and literally had sex once.
we really tried to dtd every second day but it’s pretty hard when you’re woken up at 5:30/6am and then after a long day trying to get into the mood when you’ve had an hour to relax after bedtime 
Glad you’ve mentioned about it being hard to get in the moodI think we all need ice packs for our vaginas
sending everyone a very big (non vagina touching ha ha ha!) hug. We can all send eachother positive vibes ❤
I thought I was being weird. During my fertile window I make an effort to dress up a bit, tighter clothes etc but I do find myself struggling to feel ‘sexy’. I made a point during my last cycle after my fertile window of carrying it on so my boyfriend didn’t just feel I was only interested in him for a week I basically just feel like shutting up shop once my LH starts going back down.The positive side effects of the tonne of PCOS supplements have been that I cannot have enough sex. I’ve looked back on old posts in this thread where I said I couldn’t contemplate having that much sex and I meant it, so I can only assume it’s the supplements that have changed me as I’m about three months into taking them . Am fully aware that a lot of people have had success when only managing to have sex once in the fertile window, and maybe when MrDragName and I are sick of each other we’ll try that as our next tactic!
Can you post me some of your meds?We’ve been trying to have sex every other day from my period ending to my period starting again, and tend to try and up it to every day in the fertile window, likewise so my husband doesn’t feel used and abused
I could list them all out but we’d need to start a whole new thread! There are some negatives too, honest!Can you post me some of your meds?
my period was due on Sunday and on Sunday I took a test and was negative. I was so upset. I am still testing negative and I’ve no period or no signs of it coming whatsoever? and I was in my GPs this week and I said to her my period is late and could it be the tonsillitis delaying it and she said no it wouldn’t be. She said there wasn’t much point in her doing a test for another few weeks…. The last time I was pregnant I got tonsillitis in my first trimester which was weird and haven’t got it since! I’ve also been vomiting but again I don’t know if it’s from my tonsiltis and I’m extremely fatigued!
Ugh so frustrating. I had this back in jan where my body was giving me all sorts of weird symptoms that I was so sure I was pregnant. I was 4 days late and I’m never that late. Eventually did a pregnancy test and it was negative. Then my period started genuinely 4 hours after the test.Girls sorry to jump on this thread - I’m TTC for about 9 months! And you all know the feeling
My periods are always 28 days! Some months can be 27 days! I took an ovulation test too this month - the clear blue one so I was defo ovulating!
This is driving me mad!!! I think I’ve some pregnancy symptoms but it’s hard to tell because I’ve tonsillitis currently
