TTC first baby thread 24

So my ovulation day should be this coming Saturday, and we are ready to BD from Thursday. My partner works away so this will be the first night he is home....fingers crossed 🤞

@whatsthecraic91 I had unexplained bleeding with both my pregnancies. 1st at 8w and second at 14w. After that had very healthy pregnancies and babies. Lovely picture. X

Please join the new thread :)

I'll set one up now and put the link here :)

@whatsthecraic91 lovely photo and glad you can relax a bit until the 12 week scan.
I've noticed we are close to exceeding the messages on this thread, does anyone know how we start a new thread to continue on?

@Lozzlepop I'm not sure he didn't really give me an answer to that. But he said it's worth trying again as it will do no harm but this time I'm trying oral tablets. Hopefully my body responds better to this.

@whatsthecraic91 that is brilliant news!! 😊 so happy for you. Lovely scan pic.

Hey ladies! All is well thank god!! This one is just being a little troublemaker already! They couldn't explain the pain or bleeding it's just one of them things! I can relax now until my 12 week app on 25th!

Hope everyone is keeping well x

Happy Saturday!

@whatsthecraic91 I have everything crossed for you lovely ❤️

@Annny27 yes thats true, although I think with everything going on 6 months will fly in!

@Kiza I'm pretty sure she said 3 weeks for the results but I think I need to test positive twice and the tests are done 6-12 weeks apart, but will beed to confirm at the appointment. Thats great news you are getting your scan next weekend, I'll have everything crossed for you!

Hi Ladies, sorry for being MIA all week. What's happening in the world with the protests is close to home and bringing up lots of pain so have been spending time looking inward.

@Lozzlepop Great news your test has been set, did they say how long until you get the results? Also so sorry to hear about your job situation, really crappy news on top of everything else.

@Annny27 that's really unfair and I've not heard of that before, they didn't include our miscarriage. Is it worth writing a letter of complaint to PALS?

@orangeloo I agree with Anny, may be an idea to test after using the pessaries to see if it's changing the numbers. At least that way you have accurate data for yourself and consultant?

Hope all you other ladies on this thread are ok and doing well?

10dpo and bizarrely have been feeling a little frisky the last few days which is unusual in the TWW, got a letter for my 2nd TV scan next Sunday to see if the cyst has shrunk. I also tried calling my consultant a couple of times to enquire about the AMH results but no one ever answers the phone 🤷🏼‍♀️

Morning:)

@whatsthecraic91 thinking of you today! Hope that baby is all good :D

@orangeloo yeah it will be interesting to see if the progesterone is getting absorbed okay!

@Lozzlepop yeah its disappointing that they won't see me :/ but guess its good news that they don't think I need it just yet.....my wishful thinking haha

@LAG1986 fingers crossed the laid back approach works!!!

Hi everyone. Had to have a bit of a read. Havent been here for a while. So I'm not on month 4 of trying. We are going for the more laid back approach this month. See if that works. Haha xx

@orangeloo thank you, I will update tomorrow!

@Lozzlepop they won't bring people in because of this coronavirus crap. The only way they would see me is if I am soaking a pad 🙄 really strange time to be pregnant, I don't even have anyone to call as I don't get a midwife until my first appointment which isn't until 12+4. Feeling very neglected by our NHS at this time.

Hi ladies, happy Friday!

@Annny27 Awww that’s a lovely thought, I’ll keep everything crossed for you. Thanks lovely- just glad that things have started up again, at least we’ll be getting things back on track! That’s really frustrating about the clinic I know you must be disappointed 😔

@Lottiepink the weather is a stark contrast to last weekend 😢 I didn’t clean much last week either 😂 So one job is basically the job I do but is now a management position and the other is a demotion to the job I used to do 🙈 will just need to wait and see.

@orangeloo Urgh that’s the worst- it’s so frustrating when that happens isn’t it? Do the pessaries maybe take a few months to kick in and change things? What’s DH been upto? Yeah I’ve been made redundant before too Hun it’s rubbish 😒

@whatsthecraic91 I hope you are ok hun, some spotting is normal early on, why won’t EPU see you? I hope all goes well tomorrow ❤️

Anyone upto much over the weekend? Xx

@Annny27 thank you. No I didn't use them as just thought of course they will be positive as I'm supplementing progesterone. But I will test when I try them again just to check I'm absorbing it I guess. Only have one left but that will be enough.

@whatsthecraic91 really hope everything is okay. Let us know. X

@Annny27 thank you, I am so worried 😓 I will you know how it goes x

Yes I hope its not needed and that I conceive naturally!

@whatsthecraic91 oh I hope all is okay lovely! I have said before that I had 0 bleeding and 0 cramps (after the first few weeks) but my baby had unknowingly stopped growing so I don't think its necessarily bad news if you have those symptoms. Fingers crossed everything is okay xxx

@Annny27 that sucks they are making you wait another 6 months 😓 but hopefully it happens soon and you won't need any tests!!

Not really sure a lot of cramping and spotting the last few days, EPU won't bring me in so I have another scan booked for Saturday, really hope everything's okay in there!

evening everyone:) had a letter from my fertility clinic today and they said they won't be doing any tests until a further 6 months.....so basically they counted by pregnancy end date as the start of the 12 month referral period which is a bit annoying! But I guess they are thinking that I conceived before so there's no reason why it won't happen again but still frustrating!

@Lottiepink yeah the weeks so so quick in lockdown haha. Especially when you are working from home!

@orangeloo sorry that the consultant wasn't very helpful - did you do any self progesterone tests (the urine ones you did) in your last cycle?

@whatsthecraic91 thanks lovely! Hopefully we will be joining you as part of the pregnant gang soon! How's baby doing?

@Annny27 sorry about it being your due date week, hope you're okay ❤️ really wishing you all the luck for your rainbow 🌈

Baby dust to all the ladies too👶❤️x

Hi all
@Annny27 @Lozzlepop @kiza sorry for delay been busy and wallowing haha

Today is not a good day. Cycle 22 cd2. Just got off from a phone consultationwith a consultant ). What a waste of money, filled out loads of forms last night with my history etc. Then get on the phone and he asks me all questions that were on the forms. I HATE that. I wanted a different solution to try this month. I don’t want any IUI or IVF procedure to be wasted by me still spotting despite being on progesterone. I want a solution before I get that far. He just advised me to try again with the pessaries. I will as I have nothing else to try or loose. I can be referred by nhs in July/August so will wait for that now and have tube test and hopefully hysteroscopy. If nothings found I will push for trigger shots too. Also OH is being a real dick today. Gimme a break

@kiza 8DPO, how are you getting on?

@Lozzlepop so sorry to hear about your job. I've been made redundant twice before. It sucks.

@lizzie198 sorry to hear you're out this month. Your poor OH- hope he recovers quickly.

@Annny27 sorry to hear it's your due date time. FX for your rainbow 🌈 this cycle.

Morning everyone,

I literally cannot believe how quick the weeks are flying past! Everyone seems to think the same.
Been loving the sunshine, but the forecast for the next week is looking rubbish... may use the time to have a deep clean, only been doing the essentials to make the most of the sun on an afternoon 😂

@Annny27 aww sorry to hear it's your due date week, hope you are ok. And love the fact that you are ovulating, will keep my fingers crossed for you. Be so nice if this was your month 😊

@Lozzlepop that's rubbish about work, at least you have been able to re-apply for other jobs though, hopefully things work out and you get one of them! Are the other jobs something that you had fancied anyways? Excellent news that the tests are re-started too 😊

@lizzie198 your poor DP, not a good week for him!

@XjustagirlX hope you are ok, and it's good that you sound relaxed, hope things work out for you soon 😊

@orangeloo sorry to hear that, did you manage to speak to someone on Monday?

@Lozzlepop with lockdown there's not really much we can do to celebrate the day but I am ovulating today so hopefully we can honour the day by making a rainbow baby 👶 🌈 haha!

Oh glad the blood clotting test is getting started - I remember you saying that you had a feeling that your issues are clotting related

@Annny27 sorry to hear that it’s your due date week- I know how hard it is are you doing anything to mark the date? We were away for our first due date as it was around our anniversary and was nice to take my mind off it. Thanks, I’ve applied for 2 roles so will just need to wait and see, kind of out of my control right now.

So the hospital just called, I’m getting to go in for my blood clotting test next week ☺️ So happy things are moving forward

Morning ladies! Got a very strong (not quite peak) opk today at cd13 so ovulation definitely on the way :) I haven't temped at all this cycle and feel much better for it. Its too stressful for me haha!

@Lozzlepop its our due date this week so feeling a little fragile about it but hope we can conceive quickly soon!

Sorry about your job:( hopefully there's something that you want to do in your company! My job has been redundant a few times but I have always found something else in the organisation which is nice

@kiza yep I spent the majority of my last tww with hot water bottle on my feet haha. Can't say I will be doing that in this heat....

@lizzie198 ahh thats a shame that you didn't manage to dtd in fertile window but it must be nice to have a stress free TWW for a change!

@orangeloo did AF arrive in full force?

@lizzie198 oh no what a shame, hope he’s ok?! Tbh it’s too warm to even sleep right now let alone DTD 🤣 x
