TTC First Baby Thread 20

Hi

I’ve been reading this thread for a while and been wanting to join but not been brave enough to post. You all seem like the loveliest bunch of supportive women. I really hope that everything works out for you @ELW85. Just a horrible waiting game.

If it is ok to join... I just say that i’m CD 2 of cycle 3. TTC#1. I’m 36 and my husband is 39. We only got married in May but my sister and mum both were/are very fertile and got pregnant by accident or at the first month of trying. I sort of hoped I would be the same, although I’m a lot older than either of them were when they had children. This just seems a nice supportive space to be able to speak about what is mainly in my head!

@ELW85 thinking of you, and fingers crossed for you xx

Sending massive hugs @ELW85 keeping everything crossed for you and bean xx

Thank you @purplefig - I hope you’re doing really well :) xx

@ELW85 huge great big hugs. I'm so sorry you're going through this, uncertainty is so difficult to deal with. I hope you can get an early night and some rest, and at least wake up a bit more refreshed tomorrow. Thinking of you. Xx

Hi all

Just in from A&E. They basically said it’s a waiting game and test in 2 weeks to see if the pregnancy sticks.
Just really sad.

Thank you for all of the lovely messages of support though, @LokiCat @Lozzlepop @MrsEG @MrsH497 @Larrydavid. Sorry if I’ve missed tagging anyone - he head is not in it tonight xx

@ELW85 @Lozzlepop I’ve got my fingers firmly crossed for both of you ♥️

@ELW85 oh I'm sorry to read that. I hope everything is fine and like everyone else has said, you're in the best possible hands.

@Lozzlepop light spotting is quite common in early pregnancy, but I totally understand how anxiety inducing this is after what you've been through. I would say, please do ring the EPU if you're worried. You're 100% not wasting their time - even just hearing their reassurance may help with your stress levels. Enjoy dinner being cooked for you and try and get some rest.

@ELW85 I'm so sorry. I hope everything is fine and you get some reassurance in A&E/EPU. Lots of hugs and love ❤️

@Lozzlepop that sounds lovely. Get some rest and hopefully everything is okay for you, as well ❤️

As @Anny27 has said, we're here for you both!

@ELW85 I’m so sorry to hear this lovely! I hope you are doing ok, you’ll be in the best hands possible at A&E and hopefully everything is ok! Sending lots of love xx

Oh @ELW85 lovely I'm thinking of you and keeping everything crossed xx

Hi all

Sorry - I’m playing catch up after such a long day!

Unfortunately, the brown discharge has gotten worse so I’m headed into A&E and then potentially EPU.
I’m trying to stay positive and calm but realistically won’t feel any better until they’ve had a look, so off I go.

@Lozzlepop - I really hope you’re ok, it’s such a difficult time to try and relax when these things happen xx

Thanks @Anny27 that means the world, you ladies are all so amazing!! 😘thank you for your kind words! At this stage I guess all I can do is cross my fingers and hope all is ok!

@Lozzlepop awh it must be hard after what you have been through. Positive vibes to you and hopefully a healthy 9 months for you.

Nothing we can really say apart from we are here for you to rant to whenever you want :) xxx

@Larrydavid hows Ibiza been? I bet you are looking forward to the country retreat?

@LokiCat thanks lovely, I am going to see how I go as it is barely anything so don't want to bother them over nothing. DP is on dinner duty tonight so I know that when I get home I can get my feet up at least! Was planning on holding off scheduling my booking in appointment until after I had an early scan this time.

@Mrskcam thats ok don't worry, I know how fast the thread moves! Thank you, I am keen to get home now!

@Anny27 thanks lovely, I think after last time when everything seemed normal and turned out to be a MMC I am just so nervous about "how I am meant to feel" 😢Like I feel I can't be excited abut being pregnant as I think something will go wrong

@LokiCat yep DH does not want to know any of the details. Think we will try DTD if we see EWCM but honestly every other day is proving tiring haha!

@Larrydavid bodies are so frustrating arent they! I think we will continue regular DTD even though all my apps say i have ovulated and then i spot EWCM DTD on those days as well. I swear before TTC my body was so predictable and now it tricks me haha

@Lozzlepop fingers crossed its all normal. I can imagine it is quite alarming to see even if it is very normal to experience it xxx

@Lozzlepop oh yeah you did, sorry so hard to keep up with everything! Spotting in early pregnancy is quite normal though, look after yourself

@Sammyd94 I know they say it can take a few months for everything to regulate.. may be worth making an appointment with your gp to discuss?

@Larrydavid sorry I forgot to say, enjoy your last day in the sun and your night out. I hope you've had a lovely holiday!

Oh @Lozzlepop I'm sorry you're feeling anxious. I know they say light spotting is common in early pregnancy and symptoms do come and go, but I know that isn't really reassuring.
Are you able to contact EPU to see if they can do bloods to test for HCG levels? As I imagine it may be too early to scan..
It may be worth giving them a ring anyway just to speak to someone that may be more helpful!
Thinking of you today lovely, fingers crossed everything is okay ❤️

@Larrydavid it's annoying isn't it, you think you do everything right but then your body plays you 🤦🏻‍♀️
I think we're going to try SMEP this month but also get down to DTD at the first sign of EWCM to make sure we're covered. There doesn't seem to be any other way! Either that or just DTD every other day for the whole cycle... DH may be sick of me by the end.

Hi all,
Wondering if I can join your chat?
I came off the pill in Feb this year and haven’t had a proper period yet. Just very very light spotting every month at the time of when my period should be. My cycles have been 26, 28, 28, 40, 41 days but literally only a couple days of light spotting. I don’t get much cm either at all really in between. I’m getting so paranoid that there’s something wrong with me and I won’t be able to conceive. Any advice?

@Mrskcam I got my BFP last week so I’m 5 weeks 5 days, really don’t want to go through what we did before again 😢

@Lozzlepop you're not out till she rears her ugly head! Got everything crossed for you 🤞

Bit of light pink spotting just when I wipe (Sorry TMI) please don't say its bad news again?! 😭
