TTC first baby thread 24

Hey ladies, mind if I join. First time trying to conceive. 32 years old x

Finally got our bedroom done and it looks amazing I can't stop looking at it 😂 my first ever go at DIY and I'm very proud of myself. To top it off AF has cleared off so we will be breaking our new room in tonight 🤣😝

@Anny27 I'm hoping for a December baby too! Some people try to avoid it but I think it would be so lovely & an amazing Christmas pressie!!

@timswifey hope you're okay x

@FarmerWantsABaby how are you today? has it properly sunk in yet?

@ToCaden sorry AF got you ☹️

Aww @Anny27 I'm so sorry 😩 is maybe test again tomorrow morning just to confirm a blank test? Or will that be mental torture?
@ToCaden I went to reflexology twice a month when TTC. We went hell for leather at it with crystals and aromatherapy etc every time too, I had it during my period and during my predicted ovulation day too.
@timswifey I completely get what you mean, when I was bleeding heavy last weekend the out of hours dr was extremely cold and matter of fact. I think SOME (not all) medical staff have hardened themselves when it comes to these sorts of situations.

Hope you're ok @Anny27

They've told me to go back for a scan on Saturday.

I tried to give some feedback to the nurse on duty that I would have appreciated some warning as to how much pain I might experience when I was scanned last week.

She just said I had the ward's phone number why didn't I call or come in if it was that bad. I tried to explain that I would have wanted to stay at home but just wished I had been more informed.

She just didn't get it. All I need is a healthcare professional to offer the slightest bit of emotional warmth and maybe say 'I'm so sorry this has happened to you'.

Am I asking too much here?

@Anny27 oh no I'm so sorry. Hope you're okay x

I've heard some people use acupuncture for fertility. Anyone know what time in the cycle they do this? Will also be pushing myself to make a doctors appointment sometime in the next couple of weeks to beg for some tests to see if there's anything that's stopping me conceiving.

Period came during the night. Really thick and gloopy too. Not sure if that means anything. So frustrated that it hasn't happened yet.

@Anny27 just popping on to say I'm keeping everything crossed for you! Best of luck for the morning!

@Anny27 amazing!! So happy for you but I will honestly miss you when you leave us 😢 can't wait to see your update in the morning!! I swear my hearts broke painting can't wait to get it finished tomorrow 😂 AF should be gone by tomorrow so we can get back to it 😝

Looking awesome so far @Anny27. I'm looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow. Hopefully we'll be able to count you among the thread graduates soon.

@Anny27 Omg! Definitely a line there! I will also say congratulations 🥳🤞🏼

Having a break from painting our bedroom, more work than I thought it would be 😂 have the feature wall still to do but it will have to be done tomorrow or I'll be here all night 🙄😐

@Anny27 I feel like saying congratulations as I can definitely see that line, no mistaking it 🙏🏼

@timswifey unfortunately mc can be quite long and complicated sometimes. I ended up having to have the operation as my body wouldn't fully release everything, it added to the grief and longevity. All you can do right now lovely is take each day as it comes, try to do things that are kind and loving to yourself xx

@FarmerWantsABaby I can understand your hesitancy, if only we could be those women who jump up and down with ecstasy at a BFP and never have a worried thought.

@whatsthecraic91 I think sometimes they offer IUI to some couples as it's less invasive but not sure why we weren't offered it.

Ohhhh @Anny27 I can see a line 👀 I'd go again tomorrow morning to get sure. What's your DPO?
I'm very sick today again. Hoping it's a good sign.

Ooh @Anny27 when do you think you'll test again?

Had another scan and there is still tissue in there 😢😢😢 so there’s more to come. Need to have another scan next week. Feel gutted about this as the pain and bleeding have subsided so ... I guess I've got more of that coming up? I thought it was all over.

@ToCaden @Lottiepink @Lozzlepop @whatsthecraic91 @timswifey thanks so much 💕
@Kiza I would t say relieved just yet. I nearly feel more anxious now as I know there's the start of a baby there but it's still just a yolk sac. The fact I have to go back in two weeks is nerve wracking! Every tiny cramp or feeling in my tummy and I'm shitting myself 😩 praying for a heartbeat in two weeks. My mum keeps reminding me that most people don't even know they're pregnant at this stage at to chill out! I'm avoiding EVERYTHING to be as careful as possible; coffee, eggs, CrossFit, running etc 🙈

@FarmerWantsABaby great to get an update on yourself and little bean. I'm absurdly proud of all our threads graduates.

As for me, still getting bfns and no AF. I swear I'm usually such a calm and logical person but this cycle I'm tempted to shout like a crazy person "I just want to be pregnant right now!"

Happy Friday ladies! Whats everyone got planned for the weekend?

@whatsthecraic91 hahaha really? Jeez I hope mine wont be 50 mins as its technically my lunchbreak and need to work out where I am going lol! 🙈

@Kiza ahahaha what an idiot- I meant pints!! I usually am and I have never drank that much before, theres one of the women at the other hospital and when she scans you I do feel like I might pee myself! Oh god there was no mention of a TV scan too 😆Yeah I guess its still a long wait I feel we have been waiting forever as we got pregnant again so its technically been since August 🙈

@Lottiepink ok I will see if I can get him to do that as not sure next time we will have a "consultant appointment" so to speak as its only me booked in for testing and thats still another 6 weeks away so dont want to wait all that time. You would have thought the fertility nurse would have requested those bloods at the start 😂🙈

@Anny27 how are you feeling? Anymore nose bleeds?

@FarmerWantsABaby amazing, congratulations!

@Lozzlepop you would probably have to get a doctors app to request the bloods I think? With the sa, they will go back to your dr surgery, just leave it a few days and ring up for the results (I'm inpatient 🤣) but I left it 2 days but they were actually back with our dr the same day!

@whatsthecraic91 it's agony isn't it, I don't really get the bad back part, but the tiredness I do, be interesting to see what my tv scan shows if they do it! No I get you, sounds like you don't need it either at the moment which is great news!

@Kiza great news about the app times, things are moving on fast for you 😊

@Lmac2018 sorry af arrived!

@timswifey bless you, you definitely are doing the right thing by giving yourself time x

@whatsthecraic91 had some spotting this afternoon so think it will be back to square 1 again 😖
