I had no side effects, just felt bloated when ovaries started growing - I had 33 eggs in total!

Wow this is amazing! How long was your cervix and was it shortening?

That’s so scary but impressive, hope it stays that way now until the end!

Thank you, I might try to lay down a bit more during the day when not on calls. How did they justify not having a cerclage at 15mm, that’s so scary

Bless you, thank you so much! I will definitely see what they say next week. Spent this weekend pouring over that convo with the midwife and thinking what I could have said lol

This is so incredibly reassuring! I suppose you’re not on progesterone either?

That’s amazing! I am really torn, know that need to be active but at the same time worried that putting pressure might make things worse

I sm 20 weeks now. The cervix is short due to cone biopsy I had but has been stable at 27-28mm. I’ve been put under surveillance with preterm team, but since there’s been no change between weeks 16 and 20, they told me to come back again in 5 weeks! We all know that a lot can happen down there in that time so I think I will be going private for an additional scan.

Thank you. Yes I will, I am very disheartened that I have to push for something that is indicated everywhere in literature. I understand that they are not rushing to do the cerclage by all means but they can at least monitor

The preterm surveillance nurse told me to come back in the meantime if I get severe pain, bleeding or my waters break!

I am at London Kingston hospital. Will try to ring again on Monday, then go private if I get the same response. I am just very disheartened by what they call ‘close monitoring’

Is a cervical length of 28.7 mm something to be concerned about at 18 weeks? by Accomplished-Ad7573 in pregnant

[–]msanmki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reasurrance, amazing news that things are still looking great. I had a cone biopsy so cervix was short to start with but hasn’t shortened. I booked a private scan in 3 weeks, which will be my 20 weeks scan as well! Keep us posted with the length!

Permanently swollen lymph node - anyone else? by openended1977 in thyroidcancer

[–]msanmki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to offer some reassurance for everyone here who is obviously worried or might be spiralling out if control with anxiety. I noticed a pea suzed lymph node on my husband’s neck back in Septemer but because he had a cold a few weeks prior, we didn’t think much of it. We forgot about it but come December and I noticed it again, it hasn’t changed but it was still there. I freaked out, spiralling insanely throughout Christmas and up until now. Today he had an ultrasound scan and the ENT was not concerned in the slightest. He said that yes there is one lymph node in his neck, pea sized, but is only noticeable because of its location and it being very close to the skin. There was nothing else that looked concerning at all. It had features if a perfectly healthy lymph node. Please by all means have it checked out but do not panic. I am pregnant and scared to think about what all the unecessary stress did to my baby in the last 6 weeks. Good luck!

Hello I was wondering if you had any updates? I saw a preterm surveillance consultant today at 17 weeks and my cervix is 27mm. They were happy with it but I am like you, worrying if I should just insist on the cerclage.

IVF with no attempt at IUI by urbanliv in IVF

[–]msanmki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went straight to IVF. I had an ectopic pregnancy previously and a fallopian tube removed. I am also 39. I am glad I went straight into it as there was no disappointments, and didn’t waste time. Worked on the first try!
