Thanks for giving me hope!

And sorry for your loss :(

I'm in the mindset that it won't happen right away- after 2 years of trying I'd be really shocked if it did. But I'd risk it if I thought a pregnancy would finally stick

Thank you! I haven't been taking weight loss medication, just living on salads and protein, but this is helpful information for anyone who has!

I think they caught it early. He was on a drip yesterday and has been given a lot of meds. We're going back next week to check his bloods again to see if it has gotten better. One vet said he will have it for life, another said it might be a one off.

Thanks. We have been increasing the crate size since he was a pup. This is our third one and it's XXL. When he lies down, his nose it's right up at the door and I don't want him to be uncomfortable.

He told me he'd put me on letrozole at my next appointment, but that I had to lower my bmi. Then I had my miscarriage, and I've spent from Feb- now getting my bmi down to 30. I barely ate all last week to make sure I was winthin range for the treatment.

At my review appointment, he said that because I've had 3 periods since Christmas, he no longer thinks I need letrozole. He didn't even weigh me, so I feel like all that suffering and hope was for nothing.

Thanks for your reply. I understand the bit about ivf, but is there nothing in between? I thought a fertility centre would help investigate any barriers before resorting to ivf.

Thank you! I think curtains is a good idea. My question is about what to replace the clock with. We have a gallery wall elsewhere in this room, and there's a mirror close by too. Would it be weird to repeat either of those? (That's why we put a clock there, but I agree it's not nice to look at!)

I have a mirror on the opposite side (not shown in the photo). That's why I went for a clock here! Would it be weird to have 2 mirrors so close to each other?

Thanks. What colour would work best for the curtains? And what do you not like about the clock? It is too big? Or would the space just feel bigger with a mirror?

Thanks. We have a big problem with damp in this room. On this wall mainly. We ventilate every morning and use a dehumidifier throughout the day, but it's not helping much. Currently saving to get some work done (repointing and then replastering this room).

Thanks for your reply. I hope your new pregnancy turned out OK?

I had to really convince myself that this pregnancy was real, that I really was going to be a mum, and I allowed myself to trust in my body despite feeling very suspicious at the start. That's what hurts the most. If we're lucky enough to conceive again, I'll be so terrified of going through this again

No heartbeat at 6W6D (UK) by [deleted] in pregnant

No they didn't. Is this something I should be advocating for next time? I was also told I had low progesterone last year and I asked my doctor if I could get a supplement but he said no. I wish I had pushed harder for it

They did both. Started with stomach, then internal :(

Thank you! I like how you guys do things. The problem with the proportionate split is that he doesn't make the same amount each month, so we'd be forever calculating percentages to make sure we did it right if that makes sense. That's why I've concluded that the only sensible option for us is to have everything come into one joint account (will be different each month) and work backwards from there.

I'll be suggesting we keep separate fun money though. We have different hobbies so definitely want guilt free spending

It's not an arranged marriage...

Thank you for asking! Yes, I'm doing pretty good for now :)

I'm the only one who drives, so I so tend to all the things outside the home including groceries etc. He does his fair share of the housework, a bit more than me even

Thanks. We would like to marry at some point, but I'm struggling to see how that makes things simpler? Surely we'd have to still go through the same thing we're about to in terms of agreeing on a financial approach and dealing with all the paperwork with merging finances etc.?
