35+ TTC#1 Thread 4

Oh I just realised that there is a monitor ans there is a set of cab ov tests. Recommendations?

That’s fab news @Melamine and @Noodella18. It’s good to hear the midwife appointment went well too @Kescilly. Any tips or advice on vitamins or anything in fact would be much appreciated. Its feeling like it’l never happen for me.

Although I have had a fortnight off to be fair, just needed a little head clear out.

I have just added the CBfm to my basket on amazon. Excited to try it, not so excited at the price lol.

Good luck to anyone testing soon 🤞We’ve got a great record for BFPs on the thread now x

Great news @Melamine and @Noodella18. Glad your midwife appointment went well @Kescilly x

Have a great time in Italy @BambiOnIce Hope you manage to fight the bugs off. I’m off work this week so I’ve been out walking and just taking it easy in general. My new CB monitor should arrive this week too so I’m feeling quite excited to try it out

We're each about three weeks apart, I'm somewhere in my ninth week. I had my first appointment with the midwife today and she was very nice.

I'm so pleased about your scans, @Noodella18 and @Melamine! Must be a relief. Are you telling anyone this week?

Is anyone else testing soon? Hoping for more BFPs!

Great news @noodella18 and @melamine. Yup it is @kescilly first then me. 6+6 today so seems like ages to go.

Looking forward to some more bfp's here soon x

Of course - doh! Well fingers crossed for the June ladies (my birth month, aka a great birth month 😉) and of course for more BFPs soon!

@melamine great news! So pleased for both of us!! Mine was lying on the artery in my uterus and was kind of pulsing with my heart beat, with its little limbs flailing with each beat. Really cute.

I have a feeling that @kescilly might be before @blondcat actually??

So glad to hear @Noodella18, mine was also absolutely fine! Two days ahead of before. NT measurement was low too. High fives all round! @Blondcat you must be next? X

@melamine best of luck for yours, you’ll be in the waiting room now!!

Mine was absolutely fine, but will wait to update more once you’ve reported back. Keeping fingers crossed for you xx

@Bambi amazing I love Italy i am so jealous, where abouts are you staying?
Hope your well to travel and have an amazing time.

Good luck for today @melamine @nodella18

That's great @edidxb - fingers crossed for a good result on Thursday and then you can relax a little bit (till the next milestone!). It is relentlessly stressful really, isn't it?

Hi all. Thank you so much for the congratulations posts! Good luck for the scans today @melamine and @noodella18 hope it goes really well for you both.

I went to the doctor this morning and she was very nice. She took my blood for a progesterone check and an HCG check. I need to go back on Thursday for the 48 hour HCG check to see if I am doubling it. It is all so nervewracking.

Glad you enjoyed your acupuncture @quantumgirl I also have poor circulation and acupuncture really boosted my temperature and my feet were much warmer in the 5 weeks I had it. So maybe it is worth a shot?

@bambionice80 I hope you feel better soon and not too struck down. Have an amazing time in Italy!

@BambiOnIce80 thank you so much! That is so so helpful, I appreciate it. My periods have got a lot lighter since coming off the coil just under a year ago so hopefully they'll recommend some investigation. Great to be aware of the NICE guidance, I will arm myself with all that knowledge in case they try and fob me off.

@BambiOnIce80 - LG, fsh and progesterone please! So jealous of you Italian feast a thon holiday coming up. Have a great time' hope that virus stays away.

Good luck with the scans this morning @Noodella18 @Melamine - thinking of you both!

@Dianebz1 I had the hsg in July I think. Pretty sure my issues are just a general aging of me and eggs (I'm 39) but haven't consistently had enough sex to know for sure so I'm still faintly optimistic if a natural BFP, even though time isn't on my side. I feel pretty good about things though, whatever happens.

That sounds positive @QuantumGirl.

Thanks ladies. Was already spotting from my soon to be discovered MMC this time last time. So it’s been a tense couple of days. I’ll let you know later 🤞🤞

Feel better Bambi! I am mid commuter lurgy too 🙄

Goodluck with the scans today @noodella18 and @melamine x

Good luck with the scans @noodella18 @melamine thinking of you today

Good luck tomorrow ladies!

@noodella18 @bambi mine’s tomorrow too! 😬 cacking myself tbh. I know I’m only 11.2ish vs NHS putting me at 11.6 based on LMP so at least I won’t be worried if it’s small-ish. What time is yours Noodella? I’m at 11.50. 🤞🤞🤞

@bambi @carley thanks!! Feeling a bit nervous tbh. Yes, I was thinking the same about @melamine , we’re at the same stage so hers must be this week too!

Hi girls, wow new thread and is already so long! Pleased about the BFP and sorry to hear about the BFN and CP.

Had my AF 11 days ago and this time only had spotting for 1 day so means complex B vitamin is working so will carry on with it. Also I found an amazing acupuncture lady near me and had an appointment this afternoon. I explained to her about my spotting, ttc and my extreme cold hands and feet (all year round not only in the winter). It was a great appointment she took my pulse on both wrists and apparently you can tell if whether or not ovulation has happened 😳. At the end of the consultation she told me because my periods are regular and my spotting has improved with the vitamins there is very little for me to benefit from acupuncture but if I wanted to I could have a session there and then. I went for it and it was a great feeling really enjoyed it but better still it made me think that perhaps I should try not to worry so much as not even acupuncture can help me 🙈😁🤔

@Bambi just a quiet week with a few easy plans, finished off with watching the Rugby sat, not that I’m into sport, I just tag along for the atmosphere and a few drinks!
Oo lovely, I’m sure you will get things done, do you need to travel far for The visit?

@Noodella18 wow 12 weeks, time does fly. Good luck for tomoz xx

@Dianbz1 hello and welcome. Sorry to hear you last news. Sending positive thoughts your way and lots of luck to follow.

All this exercise talk is making me feel guilty for not yet getting off my backside and going for it. Especially with a quiet week planned 🤔. I need to just get that first day out the way.

So I think me and DP are relatively balanced eaters, including the good stuff through the week and treats over the weekend. I have started taking some vitimins D, C iron and zinc, oh and folic acid. Does anyone have any other recommendations? I’m feeling the fight this week!
