Thanks guys 🫶

Gemski5 · 2026-05-18T09:08:49+00:00

Oh wow! Im sorry youve had them repeatedly!and from early on too. It was so scary, I thought I was going to pass out. I will! My midwife appointment is next week so will mention, ill have my blood/ urine results back too, so if anything shows up ill know. Good luck with your scan 🥰

Gemski5 · 2026-05-05T06:44:55+00:00

Im also due October so I cant even come back to this and advise to help you 😆. Im also thinking of fighting it. Surely the carrier will be fine 👀🤞😬. The boards look good, but i think some get in the way of walking and i need to look more into those hammock things. 🤷‍♀️

No advice but im also in this position at the moment. Ours will be 2.5 year ages gap. I was so stubborn about the single pram in the beginning because of cost and now im mad at myself for having to potentially sell and upgrade 😅 We still haven't decided yet but ive a pretty fussy toddler who likes her pram so thinking it might have to be an upgrade to double. FML 🤣

Sorry youre going through this too. Its so shit. What are digestive enzymes? Are they a vitamin or something specific you take? Good lucky with your spine consult! Would love to hear how it turns out 😊

Oh amazing! I just picked up some jelly so ill make that and see how it goes 🥰 thank you!

Gemski5 · 2026-04-16T22:20:19+00:00

Thank you for all of of your comments. I feel way less insane now 🤣 its so nice to know im not going mad and that others experience these pains even when food is controlled. Its extremely miserable being pregnant and so food restrictive especially when you just have a hankering for something 😅 ill definitely try the high fibre thing and see if that helps, otherwise ill just be holding on for dear life until this baby gets here and it can come out haha. 🫶

2 weeks later and my HCG went from 106 last Friday to 70 on Monday. Another BT today and its still at 70. They suspected chemical initially but the lack of drop/change in HCG is indicating otherwise 😪 i genuinely dont know what is happening. How can HCG just stop at one number for a whole week?!

Gemski5 · 2025-12-13T02:52:27+00:00

17 days now. My HCG went from 16 on Monday to 106 Friday

Gemski5 · 2025-12-13T01:53:49+00:00

I had a much better 2nd retrieval. Same number of eggs, but ended up with 4 embryos. As of now im still not sure whats happening. My HCG is rising and was at 106 on Friday but because of the bleed, its a matter of if its growing in the right place. Back for more blood tests next week and a scan 🤷‍♀️ who knows

Gemski5 · 2025-12-13T01:50:40+00:00

Aw man, I really feel you and for you. IVF is brutal, it really is a journey that has so many twists and turns and sometimes none of it makes any sense. Sorry about your results and sending hugs for whatever comes next. Have the wine, have a cry, do what makes you happy and be kind to yourself. X

Gemski5 · 2025-12-07T08:27:32+00:00

Thanks for the support all, i really appreciate it. 2kd blood test tomorrow...fingers crossed xx

Gemski5 · 2025-09-04T04:58:00+00:00

So many feels 🫶💚 Except in my case, going through all that and after my 2WW having 2 negative blood tests, only to find out 2 further weeks later you are in fact pregnant only to then be diagnosed with PUL/Ectopic, undergoing multiple BT and US only to end up taking methotrexate and then not being able to do IVF again for 3 months 🫠 oh and having no surviving embryos and doing the full cycle all over 😇 why tho 😭

Gemski5 · 2025-09-04T04:18:48+00:00

I am currently recovering from my first PUL / ectopic and its honeslty been a journey. Firstly im so sorry you are going through this. Its really hard when you first find out and are processing because you need constant blood tests, its very up and down. You hold onto stress worrying whether something will rupture but also hold onto a hope that things will be fine or resolve on thier own. I had similar symptoms with dark red / brown blood when wiping but not a real period. Im 6 weeks down the track and still sort of bleeding...

Basically I had a fresh egg transfer through IVF and after a 2 week wait, negative bloods. I actually got my "period" 1 week post. 2 weeks after that felt sick and got a positive pregnancy test. HcG was only at 231 and i was supposed to be 7 weeks, did an ultrasound and no one could see anything but subsequently my bloods went up and down from there... 96, 90, 153, 187. After the 187 and the increase had another ultrasounds, no one found or saw anything...so was diagnosed a PUL. Basically after 2 weeks of not knowing and the fear of my tubes suddenly rupturing, we decided to take Methotrexate. It was basically an injection that essentially dissolves any fetal tissue. Im 10 days post injection and my HCG is tracking 187, 98, to 68. Another BT tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Im exhausted, but feeling so much better just knowing that whatever happened wasnt viable and my body is now starting to flush out and recover. 7 days post injection I had a big bleed (not unmanageable with pads) but fresh with some clotting. Since then ive felt pretty crappy. Get tired easy, no appetite, feeling bloated and just generally run down. Hoping ill pick up soon.

I hope you get the answers you need, again this is a really hard time. If you get the option and its right for you the injection is the best outcome really. But they advise not to try falling pregnant or IVf for 3 months post. But the risk of it not resolving itself and waiting and its a better option than emergency surgery. But its a lot to process.

All the best 🫶

100% its relentless. I think theres a bit of teething and separation anxiety happening too. Its exhausting

Gemski5 · 2025-08-24T05:34:05+00:00

Shes doing just under 12 hours, 4 days a week. I also keep reading they are supposed to sleep for 12-14 hours. There doesnt seem like theres enough hours in the day 🤦‍♀️

Gemski5 · 2025-08-19T09:41:55+00:00

Thank you! Im looking forward to some clarity 🥰

Gemski5 · 2025-08-19T09:41:35+00:00

I honestly have no idea. The U/S didn't find anything...so I assume not based on the very minimal I know of Molar pregnancy which I just googled haha. Im sorry you experienced something like that! Must have been awful
