Newbies TTC #1 gather round :)

hi everyone. sympathies to those who haven't been lucky with a sticky bean... TTC is such an emotional roller coaster i never imagined it would be like this.

i am on cycle 4, CD22. Highly doubt we're going to be lucky this month as DH works away and I think we only got in 1 baby making day together over the right timing - maybe we'll get lucky but who knows. Definitely not feeling it and in fact been partying a bit despite being in TWW. My last three cycles i've been teetotal in TWW "just in case" but feeling a bit despondent about it now.

que sera sera .... whatever will be will be...

Hope patience and Lades are doing ok and sending hugs xxxx

How is everyone else doing on here?

Hi Lk265
Nice to hear from you sorry to hear about AF. I found the first few months harder as a lot of expectations. Hope your ok xx

LadesC so sorry to hear that, hope you're okay.... am sure you must be really sad and turned upside down by the whole thing.

my AF came today after what I was really hoping was our month! So am sad and I know it's only month 2 but kinda feel like this is never gonna happen.

LadesC Im so sorry to hear that. It sounds awful. Glad to hear you have a little ray of light and have the go ahead to try after your next cycle. It means you can start again when you feel ready. Hope things look up for you really soon sending lots of hugs and

LadesC - so sorry to hear that. Really glad that you're heading out the otherside and have the go ahead to try again. You survived the crapstorm (great phrase) and your body can still do amazing things in the future. Hoping you can heal quicky and keep holding onto hope xx

Well its been a bit of a crapstorm. Ended up in theatre last nite for suspected ectopic. Thankfully it wasnt and they did a d and c whilst i was under. I wont bore you with the details as prob not appropriate on this thread but ive been given go ahead to try again after next period so ill be back. Has been a hellish few days but hopefully comin out the other side x

So sorry to hear that LadesC, hope you are taking it easy and being well looked after x

LadesC I'm So sorry :( how are you today xxxx

Hi ladies. Am now bleeding heavily with cramps n feelin a bit light headed. So its defo game over sadly. Is it normal do you think to feel a bit faint??

ok good to hear baking xx

Hugs to you patience xx

Hoping for positive news for you LadesC As patience and baking said maybe your dates are a little out xx

Thanks impatientlywaiting, so far so good, but still early days x

Hopefully your dates are out a little LadesC. I know one of my friends was about 10 days behind where she thought she was when she had her first scan x

I hope you are ok LadesC keeping fingers and toes crossed for you xxxx

Your welcome Baking its only as i was looking things up last night on the nhs site and see the page about not changing the cats tray that (as i have cats) i read that about the parasite that can cause toxoplasmosis. I wasn't aware before that x hope your well

Hopefully there will be some positive news for you at the weekend LadesC.

Thanks for the reminder impatientlywaiting, though I'm already really careful when out in the garden as our neighbours have cats who it seems aren't litter trained. My husband always picks up after them though.

I have seen on here a few have mentioned gardening. I have read that there can be toxins in soil left from cat feces so please take care when gardening, wear gloves and wash hands thoroughly . Hope everyone is ok xxxx

Ladesc so sorry to hear that. there is still hope yet though keeping my fingers crossed. I really hope your ok

Looks like bad news in my camp too. Should be 6 plus 2 but had my scan and there isnt even a gestation sac. Am positive about my dates and my hcg is high ish so could be ectopic or failed preg altho Im shitting myself on the ectopic front. Surely Id have had more bleeding with clots if i was miscarrying at 6weeks which makes me think ectopic altho nothing was seen so far on scan. More blood tests on sat and prob a scan on sun so time will tell i guess.

Hi thamrin yes they are arn't they, hope your well xx

Patient and Impatient... funny nicknames you two.... I'm definitely on the impatient side of things

Good to hear from you patience you can only try to pick the positives from these things: happened early, conceived quickly etc... you're doing great.

i think these early mc/chemical pregnancies are more common than we know as most people dont discuss them out there in the open do they. well we always have these threads to support each other's celebrations, commiserations, disappointments & heartache.

hugs to you and be strong.

Hi patience so nice to hear from you, hope you are feeling a little better soon and looking after yourself xxxx

Wondering how patience is doing and wanting to send xxxx
