Hi all, thanks for asking about me the couple that did Grin I've been purposely quiet cause we've booked a holiday that won't take you over 34w, and the cutoff for that was was yesterday. I'm ov. now but we weren't going to DtD cause it was too close, but we kinda did anyway! Very much doubt anything will come of it, but I was going to take norethisterone to delay AF since its DH's 30th in two weeks so now I'm at a loss of what to do! If I take a test and it's +ve then I won't be able to drink over his birthday, but if I don't take the norethisterone and I'm not pg. then I don't want AF to come during his birthday either!
Hi to newbies and hugs to all that need it Flowers

Hi everyone
i first posted back in April, and have been lurking since...Hope its ok to join back in again? Nice to see some successes, and sorry to those that havent had theirs yet, fingers crossed it wont be long for everyone. I am now 39 and at 2 years TTC#2 and other than the ectopic a year ago now, we've had no success, so we have just started with IVF. I've had all the tests and so far there seems to be nothing wrong with either of us, all tests have been ok or good, so dont know why we havent had any luck, but hopefully spending my life savings Shock will give us a positive result at last. xx

Kellz92 · 25/10/2016 11:06

Oh I'll be fine :) xx

Mimilicious013 · 21/10/2016 16:33

mrsy I was on clomid the last two cycles. This will be my last month trying before I drive myself insane lol. I will go back on the pill as soon as af comes again.

Hope everyone is fine

MrsY87 · 13/10/2016 06:25

Kellz congratulations on your pregnancy , it's good to know it can happen even if it takes some time.

Mimi and cherries sorry you are both feeling low, it's so hard not to get down about it isn't it, just feeling like it will never happen for you. I think it makes it harder when you conceived #1 easily as that is the exception for #2 as well. I was so focused on the age gap to start with but I'm just trying to remind myself that it really doesn't matter, I'm 4&5 years older than my siblings and we are all very close so I keep reminding myself of that, it's hard though as sometimes I feel like I'm sad that I won't have the family I had planned in my head, I've always wanted 3 and now I'm worried I may not even have 2 and that is hard to come to terms with.

I'm sorry your GP wasn't helpful cherries I'm thinking I may look into going private if my GP won't do any tests as the mc are worrying me. Mimi have you started on tests? Best of luck to you both this month

blackcherries · 12/10/2016 20:59

MsY87 that sounds awful, I'm in a similar boat but without having had the mcs. Conceived first cycle with my first who's nearly 2. Been trying for 7 or 8 months now and having shorter cycles too than I used to. GPs basically said they won't do anything til 2 year but in your situation you might have more of a case?

Good luck and hoping it happens soon. Just about to start trying again but feeling quite bleak to be honest. Last month was the last month that the age gap would be 2.5 years or less, and I can't see any reason to be positive as feeling like we're doing everything 'right'.

Mimilicious013 · 12/10/2016 18:33

Hie kellz,you have passed the halfway mark,yay!! Hope you and dd are fine and you are feeling better.

Sorry for what you are going through mrsy and wishing you the best.l am struggling and am cycle 16/17 . losing all hope now.

Hugs cherries, how are you feeling now?

Hie g,how is Blake?

Hope everyone is fine

Kellz92 · 12/10/2016 08:54

Honey I'm sorry for your second mc! I'm fortunate that I'm 23 weeks pregnant but it was on my 13th cycle! My daughter was a surprise. I also had a mc last year it's horrible.

I definitely recommend getting some blood tests done and have everything crossed that you get your bfp soon, this thread is full of lovely ladies xx

MrsY87 · 10/10/2016 13:10

Hi ladies do you mind if I join you? I'm in need of a bit of support from people who understand the difficulty that ttc no 2 can be.

We started in march ttc #2 in march and naively thought it would just happen having conceived DD on the first cycle, she is two this month.

I've just had my second miscarriage in six weeks, both have been around the 6 week mark. Talking to the dr the advice was basically just try again it's most probably bad luck. I know I can conceive and carry a pregnancy as I have a beautiful two year old to show for it but just feel that something has changed since I conceived DD as it's taken us 7 months to get this far and my cycles have been really short that whole time (22-25days). I'm wondering if I have low progesterone have booked GP appointment this week to see if they will at least start some simple blood tests, anyone had luck getting tests before 3 mc or 1 year?

I know 7 months isn't that long compared to some but the second miscarriage in such a short time has really knocked me.

I have great support from DH, family and friends in RL but not sure they quite understand what I am going through.

Sorry to see you got a BFN black, sounds like we have been trying a similar amount of time, it's really all consuming isn't.

Kellz92 · 09/10/2016 18:16

Black I'm sorry Hun, hopefully soon.

Mimi how are you?

Hope everyone else is doing good xx

blackcherries · 06/10/2016 07:32

BFN this morning. Was really hoping this would be the month for it to finally happen. We started in Spring and winter is fast approaching. Previously I have been duped into thinking I had pregnancy symptoms but I'd never had the tender boobs as a symptom - I've only ever had that the once when prg. Well this time I'd been noticing they were sensitive and thought that might mean this month was different. But no dice.

Having a crap time in everything else too. My little boy has been sick all week, he's hardly had a week at a time when he's been 100% and it's taking its toll. Sorry for downer just had to get it out somewhere.

Mimilicious013 · 05/10/2016 15:06

Waves my friends Flowers

Kellz92 · 03/10/2016 16:49

I still have 18 weeks I'm just ballooning lol.

I would like a third but I suffer in pregnancy and I'm in a 2 bed house so 2 will do lol

Xxx

jennielm · 29/09/2016 20:47

I had the coil before this attempt and it was brilliant. I read some horror stories but it was only a little uncomfortable to be fitted, out in a flash and didn't bleed with it in.

Kellz, how long left now? Hope you doing ok? Black, sounds morbidly intriguing!! Fingers crossed you get your miracle!! Gx how far along are you? Mimi, sorry you've been down; hope your feeling better today?

Not sure we'll be sorting contraception as may try for a 3rd...would love a 3rd, but "Omnia Causa Fiunt" and we only have a 3 bed house!! :-/

Hope all of you silent ladies are doing away ok? Post soon.xx

Kellz92 · 29/09/2016 19:41

Gx, I'm getting huge now. I'll attach a pic, I'm hoping the dr gets something as I'm struggling a bit now

My mum and sister both have the coil. My hubby is going for the snip after baby is here. I'm happy with two as well. I have had the implant twice, once was fab second was horrendous

Black I'm hoping something will have worked dtd while TTC is the least romantic!!

Starting to get things sorted for my hospital bags now just incase, I left it far too late with Keira and not doing that this time!! Xx

(Still) ttc#2 continued
blackcherries · 27/09/2016 23:17

I won't go into details but last night had the most disastrous attempt ever to dtd! It was probably the day after ovulation so if anything was successful it'd be a miracle... luckily we can both laugh about it.

Gx91 · 27/09/2016 19:47

Hey all
Mimi sorry U wer feeling low the other day , hope uv perked up ChocolateWinkx

jennielm · 20/09/2016 21:39

Hi #myfriends sorry it's been a while!! Kellz, hope you're beginning to feel better? I'm not even fully recovered from my fall and got diagnosed with Shingles in my scalp last week so I'm a seriously unhappy camper at the moment!! Mimi and cherries I'm sorry that things still haven't happened for you guys, it's heartbreaking, I know. I pray that you both have bumps very soon. Me, I'm fat, don't look pregnant at all, just as though I truly did eat all the pies (don't like pies though!!) 22 weeks today. Got crib, travel system, changing station and 1 outfit...that's it!! Going to baby and toddler show this weekend, may get some extra bits there!!

Everyone look after themselves, love and baby dust.xx
