Thread 23. TTC #1 - New Year, New Opportunities. Let's keep those BFPs rolling in!

music that's amazing!! Did you get a pic? Mine is next weekend and I can't shake the feeling there will be something wrong!

Glad you have a travel related note for work kwik takes the pressure off a bit

Yay music lovely news

Yay music, glad all went well at the scan today. Must have been wonderful to see that little bean on screen!

Kwick, glad you managed to get your fit note sorted. Hopefully you can take it nice and easy for the next few months now :)

Oh dear Alexia, I was looking at prams online yesterday (although not for me I hasten to add!) I fear now I'm going to be plagued by adverts too...

Hi ladies - just jumping this wonderful new thread .... thank you Alexia xxx

Firstly good luck Sk1pper xxxxx

My stats -
TTC #1
Age 38 (in days time)
Af due 16/01
Cycle 3/4 ... oh works loads so don't want to count the cycles where we don't dtd in fertile week and if the truth be told I've only been really trying for 2 months (using opks)... naively thought I would conceive the minute I wanted to ... what a dumb ass xxxxzx

alexia I thought that about this week - reckon there will definitely be a BFP or two. I don't think one of them will be me.

Glad everything is going well music, those early weeks must be really nervewracking. Hope you can relax a bit now.

Pyjamas that sounds like a hycosy. A few ladies have had them on this thread, and a few have been quickly followed by a BFP...

music that is such good news 😘

Thanks for the info ladies! Not sure if it's called HyCosy - she just said X-ray, but maybe that's what it is!

Hey everyone

Currently 7+5, conceived on cycle 5/6

Sorry I have been awol, I have been trying to take a break from MN. I basically became a crazy woman over the Christmas break obsessing over miscarriage stats and my lack of symptoms. I am happy to say though that we had an early scan this morning and there really is a little bean in my tummy, with a heartbeat! Measuring 16mm, so pretty tiny but right size for my dates. I am beyond relieved although not getting ahead of myself just yet. Also had booking in appointment with midwife today which was lovely

I will begin a proper catch up on old posts soon!

Milk is one of the worst things to drink if you suffer from endometriosis - if it's homogenised. And most brands are. I tend to use coconut milk for everything now, it's a good substitute for cereal and tastes okay in tea too. There are homogenised mills available but they are rare and super expensive.

Went to GP - have fit note saying I should avoid travel for next 3 months due to a medical condition. Will tell my main boss on Friday...

pyjamas are you going for a hycosy (dye through tubes, scan to check all ok) - that is about £550 private

That's how I've always felt about milk - a very odd concept for me! Perhaps almond milk fortified with calcium does the job just as well...

Your chart is looking good alexia!

Must not look a baby stuff on Pinterest... must not... Who am I kidding - logging in now...

Oh alexia what were you thinking!! I do all my baby research on Pinterest so it doesn't translate into google search results and ads because I'm signed into google at work too so would be all over my work computer!!

wingingit I'm a non-dairy eater in part because of the milk-calcium myth. Have a wee google, but it seems that there is much evidence to support the theory that calcium is leached from your body if you drink milk, due to the acidifying effect milk has. Also look at osteo diseases in high milk consumption countries!

Ok so I'm a terrible person for not getting calcium -is that why milk is important? I rarely eat cereal and don't drink or coffee.

I can do yoghurt easily enough though as can eat those at my desk -full fat presumably?

Thanks London! I've had that before but with almond milk - it's delicious!! Will give it a go with milk and see if it makes me feel ill. Have always hated milk - much to my mum's annoyance when I was a kid! Will give yoghurt a go as well

So many depressed people at work today - lottery sales will be sky high I reckon!

Have to make appointment at clinic to get tubes checked by X-ray (just to rule it out hopefully) anyone know how much this costs roughly? Has to be in first 5 days of cycle, which is difficult as am not entirely sure when that will be due to apparent early ov this month! Damn travelling messing with my cycles...

Welcome newbies and welcome back old posters.

Pyjamas I can highly recommend blending frozen banana with organic whole fat milk and peanut butter. You could add maca or chia for extra fertility goodness!

kathrino I'm inspired by your yogic morning! Will try and do that tomorrow.

Doesn't it just, Skip. I could do with another week off to finish clearing my flat up!

Heya to all the new ladies! My stats (you will usually find me on the grad thread but I still feel like I don't want to leave here yet as it's still such early days!)
