TTC first baby thread 24

@Lottiepink I just got CD21 bloods done but no mention of the CD3 ones, I might ask about that tomorrow!

@Lozzlepop thanks I'll let you all know how it goes 😊

@MIW01 wow!! I take it that diagnosis was completely unexpected? Do they have any idea how you developed it?

So sorry to hear the sad news @timswifey hope everyone around you is being supportive!

Congratulations @1990shopefulftm

Welcome @Eatsleepbakerepeat @Lmac2018 a great group of ladies here!

Diagnosed with diabetes yesterday. In shock and absolutely devastated! Don't meet any of the criteria for type 2 so getting more blood tests to check which type. Been living a lifestyle that reverses type 2 for most people so not sure what this is. Blood sugar so high been referred to the pre-pregnancy unit and everything I've read so far says dangerous to conceive with blood sugar as high as mine!

@Lozzlepop I got my day 21 test done which shows if you have ovulated along with lots of other things rubella, Thyroid, diabetes etc then this day 3 one was LH, FSH, progesterone and estradiol. I definitely would if you can, just rules things out etc I suppose. I wanted both bloods done so when we have our fertility app we can discuss the results.

@whatsthecraic91 aww such a shame, hopefully you will be able to get the test done before it arrives 🤞🏻thank you I will 😊
I would be prepared for the tests, when I rang about mine I was told for us both to be prepared for physical examination, but doesn't always happen.

@whatsthecraic91 ah yes so you did, sorry! It might just be an initial chat, our first appointment was height, weight, BMI and BP for us both and I got some bloods taken then everything else was booked in after that.

@Lottiepink it sucks, app is at 9am so hopefully she stays away! Oh hope your results are okay, let us know how it goes 🤞🏼

@Anny27 that actually makes sense! More common than you think too! I am 12DPO today.

@Lozzlepop I booked a private appointment with a gynaecologist as it was going to take a year to get my TV scan! So I'm not really sure what will happen tomorrow if it's just an initial chat or if I'll get the scan! Just didn't want my AF to be here for it 👎🏼

@FarmerWantsABaby i'm glad you have got a scan booked in but know how much of a worrying time it is, I have had 2 missed miscarriages so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I really hope that its good news for you.

@Kiza oh dont worry, I am a bit of a scaredy cat- mainly just around hospitals in general as I have a bit of fear of them which hasn't been helped over the past year! Woohoo for peak!!!! sounds really good for this cycle!

@Anny27 sounds promising lovely when are you testing?

@whatsthecraic91 sorry to hear it was a BFN, whats tomorrows appointment for again? Sorry my memory is terrible!

@Lottiepink what were your bloods for hun? Nobody has ever mentioned me getting bloods done on certain cycle days do you think this is something I need to look into getting done?

@Anny27 omg didn't realise it was so common, well hopefully it's a good sign for you!

Close I'm cd6 today, done my cd3 blood test and results are back, waiting for a call from dr as some were normal and some apparently need discussed 😬😬

@FarmerWantsABaby don't worry I don't think you're crazy, I actually think that's amazing 😉 great news about the scan on Thursday too!

@Eatsleepbakerepeat congratulations!

@Anny27 ohh that's a coincidence, a bit of a strange symptom, but who knows lol, will keep 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you! The fact it happened last time and never again could be a good sign!

@Kiza that was a long time coming, least yous dtd at the right times too!

@whatsthecraic91 aww sorry your temps dropped, I hate that as you just wait for the inevitable to happen! Mine dropped the wed then af arrived Thursday morning. What time is you app?

@Anny27 wow that's so weird!! Hopefully it means something 🤞🏼

@FarmerWantsABaby brilliant - I really hope all goes well I'll be keeping everything crossed for you 😊🤞🏼

@Kiza I know! February is meant to be the shortest month and for me it's felt longer than January!! That's great now you can go crazy in the TWW 😊

So I tested this morning and BFN!! I wish I had uploaded my temp to fem this morning before I tested as my temp dropped massively this morning to just above the cover line 😐 the bitch is going to arrive just in time for my appointment tomorrow 😓

Whoohoo and I've finally peaked! Even more proud that we DTD last night so great timing as I'm working late tonight and tomorrow so not sure we will get much more in but DTD thurs/sat/mon so 🤞🏼

@Anny27 @whatsthecraic91 so weird how we all O so much later this cycle? Makes the whole cycle so much bloody longer!

@Anny27 hows the nosebleed today? That is an unusual symptom,
@whatsthecraic91 are you testing today? How many DPO are you now?

@FarmerWantsABaby glad you've got an early scan booked, that's lovely they are doing that as I know some places can be unhelpful.

Scan is Thursday 🙌🏻 not getting my hopes up as the more I read online the more I think this is either ectopic or a missed miscarriage. Told my mum today which was a huge relief! I felt so bad for her!
@Anny27 fingers crossed the nose bleed is a positive sign!! I don't seem to have any symptoms at all apart from loss of appetite and I'm very windy 🌬 😬
@whatsthecraic91 test in the morning, no point torturing yourself! If you have a hunch then do it. Sure look at me; I took and urge to test whilst bleeding like wtf!? 🤷🏼‍♀️ just buy cheap HPT on eBay 😂

@kiza it was CD20 for me this cycle too after thinking I had early on CD12 🙄 So strange how there was a few of us ovulated late!

Really wondering if I should test in the morning now all my AF feelings and spotting are gone, temps still up this morning too 😅

Yeah might do, he will hide them for me and literally won't let me use them until needed x

@FarmerWantsABaby glad that your appointment went well and the GP was so nice about it, really hope it turns out well for you 🤞🏼

@Anny27 I tried a couple of cycles but as I'm often up around 3/4am needing to pee and my wake up times vary it was throwing it off so had to give up.

@Lozzlepop so sorry don't mean to scare you! Honestly if the catheter went through then I would say the whole procedure is fine, the cramps were nothing worse than bad period cramps and I think cos I got myself so worked up about it I stressed my own body out.

@Lmac2018 sorry I don't see anything, it's still early for you so maybe try and get your partner to hide the tests to stop you testing before AF is due?

So opks are staying high but not peaked yet, I feel it will in the next few days but only got 1 opk left for tomorrow!🤦🏼‍♀️ ordered something more on Friday but not sure when they will be here!
Can't believe I'm on cd19 and still not O yet

I know... but you know how we all gets it's hard not to test early x

Test from today girls, solid negative, what do you think ladies ? X

@FarmerWantsABaby glad the doctor was nice today! Hopefully not too long to wait for your scan! Fingers crossed it's good news for you 🤞🏼😊

Being sent for a scan in Enniskillen. Dr was amazing. He said he can't give an answer to anything but usually bleeding in early pregnancy = miscarriage. Apparently I'm 6 weeks going by previous AF so all very confusing. Waiting on a phone call for an appt for scan. Could be today or another day this week!
