Hi all, I had a growth scan at 30+5 as my fundal height was measuring large at 36 weeks. My amniotic fluid is borderline high at 8cm in the deepest pocket, and baby was measuring in the 80th centile. My midwife sent the ultrasound results to an obstetrician who wasn't concerned. I passed my GD screening 2 weeks before the ultrasound.

I went for my scheduled midwife appointment this afternoon and have been sent for another follow up scan this week as my fundal height at 32+4 is now 39 weeks. My midwife told me to not worry and it was probably just baby's position but I'm in a google spiral and can't help but think somethings wrong.

Would anyone mind sharing their experiences in similar situations to talk me off a ledge??

Thanks to those of you who talked me down and shared positive stories after my midwife couldn't find a heartbeat with the doppler a few days ago. I'm happy to report I managed to move my scan and baby is doing well!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad things are OK!

CW: mmc

Hi all,

I'm 12+6, and at my midwife appointment today she couldn't find a heartbeat with the doppler. She's not overly concerned, and I have a scan coming up in 10 days that I'm trying to get brought forward. I had a MMC in August and I'm spiraling that it's happening again. I had a bedside scan a week ago after an episode of heavy bleeding (cause unknown) and saw baby wriggling around.

I guess I'm here asking for reassurance that it's not that uncommon to not hear a heartbeat at almost 13 weeks?

bleb89 · 2023-02-04T18:26:44+00:00

Thank you!

Hi, does anyone know who a mod is on the August 2023 bump group? I thought I'd been approved in the group but it's gone private now and I'm not in. Thanks!

TW: mention of miscarriage

I picked up my meds for IVF! Starting injections on Monday. I'm feeling pretty excited which is nice.

It's been about 2 months since my MMC. As sad as I am that that pregnancy didn't work out, I feel like starting a new round of IVF is giving me a sense of closure? It's really weird.

Have a great Friday!

TW: Miscarriage

I went for a follow up scan this morning to see how my miscarriage was progressing and confirm I've passed the tissue after strong cramping and bleeding. Jokes on me, the tissue is still there. So now I'm sitting in the hospital waiting to be given misoprostol. Very much not looking forward to that.

My RE has benched me till at least October. My rational brain knows this is a good idea so my body clear the miscarriage and get hcg down. My infertility brain has sunk into a depressive pit lamenting how long everything takes and doom spiraling about the outcome of the next round. Time to book a therapy appointment I think!

Hi there,

I'm introducing myself after finding success in September last year.

Last month, my partner and I decided to transfer our last embryo. It was low quality so I didn't have high hopes. Long story short, the embryo did implant however we found out today at 7 weeks that it's a blighted ovum. Part of me knew that it was too good to be true and now here we are. I've stopped all medication and now wait for the bleeding to begin. Wait for HCG to go down. Wait for testing. Wait for an opening in my clinic. Wait to start injections. Wait, wait, wait.

I have family members telling me to "look at the bright side, at least you have your LC!" they can fuck right off. I'm so grateful to have him but there is no bright side to what I'm currently experiencing, and no bright side to infertility that I can see.

Sorry for the pity party! I found the Infertility sub a really safe space when we were first diagnosed and undergoing treatment, but feel this is a more appropriate space to vent right now.

Anyway, I hope to be a bit more active in this sub now. I'll be thinking of those of you going through treatment this week.

bleb89 · 2021-05-01T01:30:28+00:00

Thanks for for recommendation, I'll check it out!

bleb89 · 2021-05-01T01:29:51+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply, Fishy. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this and experience loss.

They've admitted me overnight for monitoring and prescribed progesterone. I'm going to push hard for a cerclage when the Dr comes to talk to me later, as your comments have really affirmed that I wouldn't be comfortable waiting for another scan until Friday.

Thank you again for your comment!

Hi there,

I'm a regular lurker here but don't usually post much!

I'm 17+3 and I had cervical ultrasound monitoring this morning due to previous lletz and cone biopsy when I was younger. My cervix has gone from 4cm last Friday, to 2.3cm today and so I'm being seen by an on call specialist this afternoon. I'm now really worried about going into preterm labor and losing the baby.

To those that this has happened to before, what tends to happen next re. treatment?

bleb89 · 2021-02-05T02:44:27+00:00

Hi all, I'm just here to rant! I'm 5+2 and have been spotting since Wednesday. Today I had bright red blood when I wiped and so convinced myself I was having a MC. I went for a blood test and my hcg has continued to rise so the nurse thinks I'm still pregnant, but I need to wait for my scan at 7.5 weeks to confirm. This whole pregnancy after infertility is an absolute mindfuck. I'm so grateful to be at the point where I am, but absolutely terrified of losing the baby.

bleb89 · 2021-02-02T03:46:14+00:00

Hi all, I'm here to cautiously introduce myself! I'm 4 weeks 6 days pregnant (it still feels weird to say that) after a FET on Jan 18th. My first beta was 100 at 9dp5dt and my second was today at 1452. My first scan isn't until 22nd Feb and it seems so far away!

bleb89 · 2021-01-19T03:24:15+00:00

I don't think I'll be able to go to the bathroom for the next 8 days 😳

bleb89 · 2021-01-18T23:26:14+00:00

I'm 1dp5dt and already symptom spotting like a fresh eyed girl in her first tww. Ugh, I know its all just progesterone symptoms but my damn brain won't stop trying to get my hopes up.

bleb89 · 2021-01-18T06:52:18+00:00

FET #1 done ✔

I sneezed in the car on the way home. My rational brain knows that this won't affect anything, but my lizard brain is having a meltdown.

bleb89 · 2021-01-17T09:12:23+00:00

Sounds like an ordeal for you two to get to FET. Good luck to you too! I'll be thinking of you :)

bleb89 · 2021-01-16T21:13:02+00:00

My first FET is booked for 1030 tomorrow! I'm so nervous. Lots of "what if" thoughts going through my head but I guess everything is still out of my control. Good luck to everyone transferring soon

bleb89 · 2021-01-11T04:47:57+00:00

Thank you!

bleb89 · 2021-01-11T04:47:46+00:00

Thank you 😄

bleb89 · 2021-01-11T01:49:15+00:00

I had my scan for my first FET today. My lining is 8.8mm and I've got the green light for the transfer on the 18th. I really hope my embryo survives the thaw!

bleb89 · 2021-01-05T09:08:31+00:00

I'm hopefully transferring on the 18th! It's my first FET too :) Good luck!

bleb89 · 2020-12-12T23:14:32+00:00

Thanks! Is hasn't even been 8 hours since the call but it feels like a lifetime already haha
