Sixth Form Common Room part IV - ttc and pregnancy post mc

Hey ladies! Congratulations on that news Knitter, it must be a real weight off. Now only a few more weeks to get through, it'll fly by!

mouse hurrah for booking in! Really chuffed for you.

Waves to all, hope everyone is well and happy.

Stash gone - will post out tomorrow!

mouse sorry I missed your booking in news - totally self-absorbed of me well done for that... keep knocking over those milestones and it'll be baby o'clock before we know it :)

Izzy fingers crossed i won't be PG testing before Nov 2012 .... so they'll probably find a better home than me... Good point though - should check the expiry date on my ov and pg stick stash!!

Still on a high here - have told family and close friends... news and scan photo to go up on FB later tonight m'thinks!!

mouse yay for booking in!

zam will keep my fx that the timing's right for you this month, it is so infuriating when your cycle starts messing you around! If it doesn't work this time then maybe a month off will be a good thing - it does take some of the pressure off and can have surprisingly good results!

I hope no one minds me asking but I'm having a clear out and wondered if anyone wanted any ov tests? I've uncovered a stash of about 75 Internet cheapies with expiry dates between July and November next year (2012), free to a good home just let me know if you want any and pm me your address. Also got an unopened pack of 7 clearblue digital ov tests (smiley faces) and 4 more in an opened pack; the 4 have expiry date of May 2011 and the 7 are October 2011 but I can't imagine they just stop working on that date so if anyone wants to give them a whirl then again let me know - free to anyone that wants them.

Fantastic news for knitter - delighted for you.
And mouse with your booking in appt - yay!
In my news I'm now on Cyclogest after CP no 2/3..... anyone got any experiences with it?
Also started taking Agnus Castus this cycle and it seems to have brought ov forward, so prob missed egg-catching for this month. Humph. FF is v confused tho, so maybe we'll get lucky. If not will be taking a month off as we are coming home to UK for a month on Dec 2nd which is just about ov time, plus don't want to get BFP /poss another CP / start the whole injecting palaver again / when away from home. So it will be January. But neither DH nor I are sure how much longer we can carry on with the emotional rollercoaster that is TTC & MC
Will give it till March I reckon....
Woo hoo for MummyA!!! Massive congratulations on birth of Baby Max!! (fab name btw - would love to have chosen it but no go with our surname)
Big waves to all xxx

he's been right so far and seems to have some sort of intuitive link with the baby - freaky child :)

Ah I see Knitter, so it's your DS's intuition - sounds like he could be right then if the nose is a giveaway! Are you planning on finding out the gender at the 20 week scan?

Hey there - thanks so much for all the excitement - it's such a good feeling after everything we've been through...

olives DS is convinced it's a boy so we've been calling the bean 'he' for that reason... From the scan today it's got DH's nose like DS had which I look back on as the sign that I should have realised DS was going to not be a DD!!

Brilliant news, Knitter! xx

Yay yippee fab news knitter im so very pleased for you!

Knitter That's fantastic news! I am so pleased for you. I notice you are calling bean "he", is that just intuition that baby knitter is of the blue variety? Or do you alternate using he/she to describe bean? I only ask because I'm always in awe of people who "know" what they're having. I had no idea when I was pregnant with DS (although I was really keen to have a boy so maybe my subconscious mind knew it was a boy!)

brilliant news knitter, must be so relieved, yay!!!!

knitter that's absolutely fantastic news!!! . I've been lurking on here all day waiting to hear, so so pleased that it went well xxx

hey there wonderful, wonderful ladies...

Well it's all good news. Can't tell you how amazing that feels.

I lay there on the scanning bed silently crying as he scanned around pointing out how our baby was dancing and waving. He finally noticed that I was crying when I let out a sob and he said 'what is the matter'. I said 'please just do the Nuchal and tell us the result' and so he did.

Bean came back with a 1:2000 chance of having Downs. We decided that was more than good enough and so we wouldn't have the CVS because of the risk of miscarriage associated with the CVS itself. We'd said that as long as the risk factor was better than 1:500 we'd not CVS.

Bean is measuring spot on for dates and has all his bells and whistles. He was indeed wriggling around and waving a lot which was totally wonderful.

Thank you so much for all the lovely thoughts and fingers crossing. You're the only people who know about the bean (apart from DH and DS) and it's meant so much to have your support.

Wishing you lots of luck today knitter

Sorry knitter I just realised I was a day ahead. Good luck for today, thinking of you.

Knitter Fx for today, thinking of you and sending positive thoughts

Big (((hugs))) knitter I can only imagine how scary today is for you. Will be thinking of you and hoping and praying for good news xxx

Hello, just checking in to see how everyone's doing, feels like ages!

cero how are things with DH now?

olives at all that blood, no wonder you needed a latte! Hope you're on the road to some answers.

welcome anicecupoftea , sorry you have to be here though it is a lovely thread, I've only been here a few months and feel part of the family now - even met a local Mner!

knitter hope it went well today

In my news, I'm counting down to my reassurance scan - took a friend to the hospital for an interview last week so I snuck up to EPU while he was in the interview. I'm going on Thursday morning (hope it's good news as its also my birthday!). Feeling positive about it - still symptom spotting like mad and they're still there, although my "morning" sickness is actually "evening" sickness!

Hi to everyone else, hope you're all ok

Thanks so much folks. I'm almost in tears with nerves :(

DH and I have talked about it all and what we're going to do tomorrow. Basically we have the 12 week scan and nuchal measurement. this gets added to the bloods results and we get the combined test. If the results come back with negligible risk then we'll not have the CVS because of the risk of the CVS itself which can cause spontaneous mc in 1/100 cases. But if the risk is high or medium we'll go for it because we need to know. Last time it took 6 days to get the result but it would be great to hear by the end of the week. I'm seeing my parent at the weekend and would love to be able to tell them.....

Just popping in quickly to wish knitter all the best for tomorrow - will be thinking of you. When will you get the results? xx
