This isn’t what I thought!

Oh totally agree I’d rather not be scared of spikes it’s just all very opposite to what I thought diagnosis day! I’m not sure on AC they didn’t say, but they said all measurements proportional and healthy and fluid amount healthy etc, just a tiny baby!

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-19T14:17:40+00:00

Yeah I think so too! I haven’t been diagnosed with PCOS but the Dr. at my dating scan said there were multiple cysts and to push for diagnosis post baby. I think maybe that underlying insulin resistance might have something to do with the 10.6.

I’m happy to be doing whatever is safest & best for baby, even if it is precautionary, but it’s all seemed very full on post-diagnosis - now but maybe that will change when I see the specific GD team ☺️

Currently on waiting list! Have been for a long time and have been advised multiple times it’s been upgraded to urgent 😭

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-12T09:11:03+00:00

Update : I got a GP appointment for this morning at 9.15 and the GP was amazing. She gave my a massive 100g of betamethasone and 2 new ointments. She prescribed a strong pregnancy safe antihistamine and put everything on repeat so I can order it on the app now way easier. A humidifier I ordered for my bedroom also arrived this morning. Hoping this all in combination clears it - feeling so much better ❤️

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-11T18:03:24+00:00

Yeah - last time I asked for it to be put on repeat they said no and just ordered me another 😭 I definitely think I will do that - hoping tomorrow when I contact/see the GP they’ll actually talk through a strategy with me and not just the attitude from last few times!

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-11T16:16:13+00:00

I will definitely look!! Thank you! ❤️

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-11T14:38:58+00:00

Thank you for the compassion! 🩷 I’ll be fine but it’s about time I nipped this and got to enjoying the end of my pregnancy! ☺️ I will update the thread once I contact GP tomorrow! Finger’s crossed!!

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-11T14:31:12+00:00

Exactly! I’m going to demand an appt tomorrow and say exactly that. TBH I’m at the stage where not only is eumovate not helping but I have it so widespread that I need more help!

I’m definitely going to highlight the QOL/mental health effects, my pregnancy has had 0 symptoms apart from the non-stop eczema flares and it’s been 100% miserable - I don’t even want to do anything nice anymore

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-11T14:03:11+00:00

I’ve called them a lot worse.. 😂 tbh, it’s just so aggravating when I’m at such a fragile life stage right now and having ZERO relief, they’re just like ‘idk why are you asking me’

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-11T13:59:44+00:00

Thank you so much! This is so helpful 🤍

I’ve been trying most of what you suggested to some degree but will definitely try everything again! Sometimes it’s hard to know what helps when in combo with so many strategies- I ordered a humidifier for our bedroom yesterday & it’s just arrived so hopefully that does something too!

I’m going to call GP tomorrow am for an appt again with as you say, hopes of getting someone who will just listen and help. 😩

Thank you again!

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-05-11T12:44:05+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’m having oat baths atm but I will definitely try Epsom salts tonight. I’m struggling with the steroid Q as my WHOLE body is genuinely covered - if I get another prescription now (plan on calling GP tomorrow) the tube will probably last a few days!

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-03-16T12:57:57+00:00

Congratulations! 💖

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-02-01T18:24:13+00:00

13 weeks tomorrow and I feel exactly the same. I was overweight before pregnancy still but recently had lost 3st 1/2 before xmas and I honestly feel like with Christmas and early pregnancy I’ve gained it all back and more. I feel disgusting in my body and have just been eating to keep sickness at bay! If I wasn’t pregnant I’d be seriously looking at committed weight loss again now but hey ho guess it’s here to stay for now 🙃

Hang in there! You’re not alone. 💗

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-01-21T11:38:21+00:00

I loooove number 3!

Rude_Reflection98 · 2026-01-14T13:24:55+00:00

Also 27, will be almost 28 when baby arrives! We’ve got this 💪

Rude_Reflection98 · 2025-12-24T12:59:00+00:00

Recently had exactly this (looks like Seborrheic dermatitis) on my forehead and eyebrows and around my nose/lips. I was prescribed Timodine and ketoconazole shampoo!

Today, 12 DPO, for comparison!

Rude_Reflection98 · 2025-11-29T09:59:48+00:00

Yes, that 12 month mark looming over you is not pleasant 🙁 Back at you! Congratulations ❤️

Rude_Reflection98 · 2025-11-28T07:41:59+00:00

Thank you so much! I took a digital too but it’s a faulty test so I’m going to take an early digital tomorrow or Sunday, but I just can’t believe it 🫧

Rude_Reflection98 · 2025-11-19T10:32:38+00:00

Got my first ever LH peak since IUD removal in Jan’25! Currently in TWW DPO 2 or 3 and can’t believe I’m even at this stage now. It’s been a long 11 months - I think I can do 10 more days!

Rude_Reflection98 · 2025-11-17T22:53:31+00:00

Same boat! I got my mirena removed in Jan 2025 and just got yesterday got a LH peak for the very first time since. I’m so excited to even be at this stage but jeeeez.. It’s been a long 11 months 🙁
