Wow boris that's amazing how fast the time has flown! I bet you're itching to get baby out now to meet him!

kellz magpie and genghis how are you all getting along?

dizzym I'm feeling fine thanks, 8 weeks tomorrow but I've had virtually no symptoms apart from some mild nausea a few weeks ago (but I had norovirus last week so anything since then doesn't feel like nausea!!!) Hope you've been getting plenty of bd in Smile & your bfp is around the corner, you've waited far too long now xx

Kellz92 · 07/11/2016 19:13

Genghis, she's better thank you. Yeah I have an appointment on the 5th December which is good for Aberdeen hospital!! How are you?

Fitzy everything crossed for you

Hope everyone is doing well

Xx

Hi, really looking for some advice and help. I am 18dpo today with very high (for me) bbt, which are above my cover line (chart attached). Luteul phase is usually 11-12 days and I ovulated early this month so was expecting a 22 day cycle. All pregnancy tests (even Superdrug sensitive ones) are negative. Cervix is very high and closed, lots of creamy discharge, nipples sore and some cramping. Called Dr and she said it was unheard of and I was definitely not pregnant or it wasn't viable so I'd probably miscarry - which just made me burst into tears. Is it possible hcg hasn't made it into my urine yet? I reckon I implanted (if I did) last Friday. Any advice gratefully received! TIA x

I hope the 2ww isn't dragging DizzyM

Boris Full term! Congratulations. I'm sorry he's been causing you the stress but I'm glad he's fine and just messing around :)

Rainy how are you getting on with the clomid this cycle?

DizzyN how are you?

Hello to Magpie and Kellz! I hope you're both well.

DizzyM hope you are having a good CYCLE AND lots of DTD time. Damn iPhones and swollen fingers.

Borisisback · 30/10/2016 08:19

rainy how's the clomid going? X

DizzyM hope you are having a good cucke abd lots of DTD time.

Thinking of you all.

As for me my little ivf miracle will be 37 weeks on Monday - which is full term - amazing. He's caused me a little stress recently by not moving around much but the hospital had me in and he seems to be doing absolutely fine.

GenghisKahnSchmitz · 28/10/2016 02:46

I hope your DD is feeling better Kellz? And, any update on your appointment?

I hope you managed lots of well timed dtd DizzyM? Fx for this month for you.

I don't have any news but am just very glad it's Friday!! Woohoo..

Kellz92 · 20/10/2016 20:21

DizzyN how on earth did I miss that bfp. Congratulations honey over the moon

Holzy welcome, hope you get answers with your scan

Rainy good luck with clomid

Boris hope you're k

Magpie how are you keeping

Genghis. How are you keeping?

Hope everyone else is fine too

Not been around much as I'm still signed off and waiting for a neurologist appointment. Little one us poorly too which is making it more difficult.

Xxx

GenghisKahnSchmitz · 18/10/2016 02:04

Lovely that you told them DizzyN - I bet they were thrilled. How did you get on calling about your appointment?

Rainy good luck with the clomid, and everything crossed that this will be your month.

Hello to everyone else!

DizzyNorthernBird · 18/10/2016 01:33

Congratulations both of you! X

rainy we didn't do anything different but I had a hsg about two weeks before ov. It must have been that. We only dtd three times during my fertile window and i was stressing as we had a gap of five days between two of those! But hey ho, things worked out for once. Otherwise things were mostly the same, my irregular cycles had settled into a more regular ish pattern and I've been eating better, also I'd stopped taking pre conception vits a couple of months ago, so I hope everything is developing ok.

Sodasoda · 17/10/2016 21:48

One day before me Eskimo! I had a little girl on the 9th. All going well so far and we're settling into family life.

Sending love and positive thoughts to everyone on here. I continue to lurk occasionally in the hope of seeing amazing news like dizzyn's. Smile

eskimoflo · 17/10/2016 16:20

DizzyN Yes; he arrived on 8th September via elective C-section as he was breech. We are loving parenthood, although I've had an infection in the wound for the last week or so, so that's not been much fun! Keeping everything crossed for you that this bean is super sticky x x x

Waves to DizzyM and Rainy and everyone else x x x

Soda If you're lurking, you were due the same time as me... how goes it? x x x

Rainy34 · 17/10/2016 15:50

Thanks Dizzy, all you can do is take one day at a time, I'm really hoping for a sticky bean for you, did you do anything different this month to help get pregnant?

DizzyNorthernBird · 17/10/2016 08:31

Thanks soda, eskimo & rainy!

eskimo how are you? You must have had yours by now?

rainy I'm keeping my f tightly X' for you, it's about time you got your bfp too, , you've waited far too long. Really hope the clomid does the trick.

DP and I told both sets of parents yesterday and also his step sister & her hubby as we're close to them, everyone is thrilled of course but now I feel a bit bad as if this doesn't work out, it's not just us who'll be sad. But it's great we've got so many around us for support.

How is everyone else doing? It's been all about me on here the last few days! Blush

Rainy34 · 16/10/2016 16:56

pressed send to quick

hello and welcome Holzy

Rainy34 · 16/10/2016 16:55

Dizzy OMG congratualtions, such great news!! just a boost we all need!!

hope everyone else is doing well, started my round of Clomid today, hoping that my healthy eating and gyming plus clomid makes this my lucky month!!

eskimoflo · 16/10/2016 10:47

Popping on to say a massive big huge congratulations to DizzyN Really pleased for you. It's about time this bus had some good news! Still rooting for everyone else on board x x x

MagpieCursedTea · 16/10/2016 10:27

Holzy welcome!

Genghis I'd say it's going quickly for me but in some ways it feels like an eternity! Hope you get your moving date soon!

DizzyN I told my parents straight away as I'd have needed their support if anything had gone wrong. Plus it's makes it feel more real when you get to tell someone and it's nice to be able to talk to someone other than your partner about it. I also phoned my gynaecologist as I had an appointment coming up and they cancelled it when I told them I was pregnant. I was worried about having to start it all again though. Plus I was due a scan and was really hoping they'd still let me have it! (They obviously didn't).

GenghisKahnSchmitz · 16/10/2016 08:58

DizzyN Obviously it's up to you but I think that if you have that type of relationship and you'd want her to know if something did go wrong, then do it! It'll be one breakfast she never forgets :) Good luck with your decision (and wonderful news about the clearblue). That's tough about the appointment but I'd do the same - ring and see what they say when you tell them about the bfp.

OP posts:
DizzyNorthernBird · 16/10/2016 07:36

I don't know what to do about the appointment genghis, I'm sure they won't be very impressed if I turn up and say I'm upduffed and just want to get my results. At the same time if this pregnancy doesn't last it'll be annoying to have to go back to GP and start from scratch....although perhaps after my hsg I might not have any difficulty if we had to ttc again? It doesn't really feel fair going when there's other people out there waiting. I'll probably ring them tomorrow to cancel.

DP and I popped out to tesco last night and grabbed a clearblue which I've just done this morning. Bfp again 2-3 weeks. He's now suggesting we just tell my mother this morning at breakfast? A lot of people on the an thread seem to be telling parents. I suppose there's no harm because if anything happened I'd want to tell mum anyway.

GenghisKahnSchmitz · 16/10/2016 01:08

DizzyN How have you got on with not telling your Mum? It must be difficult....but what a wonderful secret to have! What are you going to do about your appointment? You've become one of those people who falls pregnant while doing the fertility investigations Grin.

Magpie Only 12 weeks left?! Wow. Also, we're still waiting for a move date so at this rate you'll be in your new house before us :)

Welcome Holzy and hello to everyone else!

DizzyNorthernBird · 15/10/2016 18:38

Not yet boris, parents are staying for the weekend so will leave it until Monday. DP wants me to test with a 'proper test' just to be sure. He doesn't trust the cheap tests I have. My temps are still very high though so I'm happy there's still a bfp for now, despite my total lack of symptoms!
