*March 2019 Testing Thread*

Thanks April. Most people say having so much pains like this not normal. Do you mind me describing the pains you have?
Mines are burning , stabbing sharp pains very low down on my uterus. Than sharp constant pains on left ovary. And just now I feel lots of pains on the right. But the pains always there. It doesn’t stop :(
Maximus maybe you should call the EPU and explain you have had 2 previous miscarriages and the pains feel very familiar. Hopefully they will bring you right away and do some bloods xx

Why don’t you visit your doctor? Mine put me at ease yesterday.
Mine are fleeting and mostly present of a morning and evening but they feel like dull period pains. I’ve had stabbing like pains and what feels like stretching pains but when I get them my insides feel like there getting torn.
I’ve also got bad cervix pain that’s just constantly there. I’ve never had that before, it’s so painful I can’t even be intimate with my bf...but my gp said it’s all hormones.

My previous miscarriage pain in both a mc and mmc was severe shooting pain in my bum and back to the point where I’d jump from the pain which I’ve been told by midwives is typical. Xxxx

Yes I can do that. They will just monitor it every 48 hours. But I think I should a week to see if I start bleeding ?

Unfortunately the EPU won’t see anybody this early. Atleast not where I live anyway. You must be atleast 6 weeks xx

Last time I went to the GP when I had also bad pains with my first miscarriage, she said it can be normal and if you are worried go to EPU. So it wasn’t that helpful.

If your EPU will see you then you should go.
But your not bleeding so stay positive. Pains can be normal. And it’s normal to be so worried xxx
 
And if your test is darker than yesterday that’s also a good sign. Have everything crossed for you max x
Actually it’s about the same as yesterday in terms of colour but at least it’s not lighter. I am going to wait another couple of days and I will go on Friday to get my bloods. It’s such a shame that miscarriages ruin your whole experience and happiness. But I do have a bad feeling about this pregnancy too as the pains are very very similar to previous ones. On the other hand I had no pain with my daughter. Also I mentioned that nausea is gone so it’s weird
 
No obvious issues, cycles are pretty regular a couple of days here and there. I think I ovulate most months. I went dor blood tests with my normal doctors and her only comment was ‘try not to think about it and it will happen’ so can only assume the results were ok. But i think the bloods at the clinic are more thorough.

If I am honest I didn’t look into it that much, just one day decided i was fed up with trying to get appointments with the docs and waiting months - ive done a lot of overtime so will have the money. I spoke to the OH and he liked the sound of it being done with quickly so i just googled local clinics, had a read up and found one nearby and emailed them.

I haven’t gone as far as thinking about ivf or iui, one step at a time for this little brain. I imagine the results are easily transferrable, I am sure i read somewhere on the site that said u can choose to use the results to go back to the nhs for ivf.

I wouldn’t say i am being brave, just determined to get a means to an end. I like to stay chilled and in control and with ttc i am not in control- it does what it bloody wants, so in a way i see it as me trying to get a bit more of a handle on things...sounds stupid I know x

We have been saving for ivf for as long as we have been ttc its just over times its got more serious and so we now full pelt save for it.
We could go private tomorrow if we wanted to, buut (and i dont agree i think you are brave) i am not brave enough to just suck it up & face it. Its so stupid of me and i keep telling myself just to get a move on & do something but cant :(

Woohoo maximus that’s great news. Try to remember that everything is happening in the same area as your miscarriages, pains in your uterus dont necessarily mean you’re having a miscarriage. Could just be stretching or everything getting comfy. Honestly I’ve been where you are and my best advice is you need to try to relax and take it one day at a time. I know it’s really difficult but all the stress isn’t good for you either x

Thanks rainbow. I will try my best to relax and enjoy the moment at least I am pregnant right this moment. :) even being pregnant a couple of days is a nice feeling.
I hate when people moan about their symptoms and my friend with a newborn complaining how hard it is. I know they don’t mean it but I just don’t think people realise how lucky they are.

I know I hate that too. I had a friend once complaining to me (and she knows my history) that she might not bother having anymore as she had the worst pregnancies ever and it was hard for me not to just say ‘worse than having your babies die?’ And ‘at least you can just decide to have more’. Typically she got pregnant on cycle 1 trying again right after my latest mc too. Some people just have no issues in this area and don’t ‘get it’ at all x

Oh no they seriously don’t know what it’s like. Another friend of mine sent a scan pic of her second yesterday and she said she is 14 weeks and complained the whole time. How sick she is blah blah. I want to be sick and I seriously don’t think I will complain.
I am just so happy to be pregnant right this moment soooo happy

That’s exactly how you should feel :) like you I don’t think there’s anything that would make me complain about being pregnant, I’d take it all if I could just have a healthy baby at the end. And on top of all the normal symptoms we have anxiety to deal with as well as a added bonus. I’m glad you’re feeling a little better today x
 
Maximus that is such a good line! Things look they are moving in the right direction, in my experience if the cramps were a bad sign it would have shown on your tests already, put your feet up, try a hot water bottle to help with any pains and to keep you uterus warm with good blood flow.

Xx

Thanks sugaryiris I don’t what I would do without all of your support. This is a great place to share. Thank you so much x
 
I actually got a question about coffee. I normally drink so many cups so since I got my BFP I only had one yesterday and now my headaches are just soooo bad. I know it’s caffeine withdrawal. So can I still have one shop bought latte or should I go for half a shot? Or go for home instant coffee? Or non at all?

Not stupid at all! We all deal with things differently, me and the OH have put a deadline on our trying so that helped with the decision to do it. I guess my patience has just worn thin.

I don’t think it is a question of being brave, maybe u r just not ready or at that stage. FX u wont need to be and it just happens for u both, if u do need a little help later on you may just wake up and say that is it, let’s get booked in- it is great u already have the financial side of things sorted- one less stress xx
 
That’s a great line, pains are normal, stretching and implanting are usually the reason for it. Really hope this is your sticky BFP Maximus.

I sometimes have 1 shop bought latte a day but no more than that, drink decaf after that.

Headaches are early pregnancy symptom too X
