TTC first baby thread 24

@FarmerWantsABaby it's understandable, there's a few of us on here that have had mc and multiple mcs so that feeling of excitement can sometimes be hard to hang on to. It's really tough to try and allow yourself to be happy and also try to focus on other areas of your life too. Hope the phone all tomorrow to the EPU goes well for you

Yes thanks we've been trying for 18 months have tried everything on the market! I turn 40 this year so will be a referral for IVF if no joy soon and all our tests come back fine.

@whatsthecraic91 you could give them a ring beforehand just to confirm but I can't understand them saying no if other PCT says it's fine to be bleeding. Have you had one before? They're not painful at all and pretty straightforward

@whatsthecraic91 feeling scared to be honest! Didn't see your message before I sent my previous post.

@Kiza I'm scared of getting my hopes up. DH and I are just in a weird stage now where we are happy but don't really want to be just incase! Day 9 "AF" and still some light bleeding.
Took a clear blue digital today as I'm curious about dates etc. Apparently I'm 2-3 weeks.
Have you tried pre-seed or conceive plus Kiza?

@Lmac2018 this was me yesterday morning I had my phone torch looking at it from all angles 😂😂

@Kiza yea it will be TV don't know if I'm getting it for sure this app but wouldn't want to be not allowed it if AF shows up! The HSG sounded bloody awful so no doubt that's the reason!!

@timswifey hope you're okay 

@FarmerWantsABaby how are you this morning

@Gemlou81 welcome to the group, I would consider your partner learning meditation and relaxation techniques for day to day life. If things get really bad he can access CBT for free via the GP or most NHS services you can self refer via the website. It's called IAPT.

@hollywhooo @Lmac2018 @ welcome both, lovely supportive and knowledge women here ☺️

@whatsthecraic91 is it the TV scan you're having? If so you're fine to go ahead when bleeding, they said to me as long as I was comfy with it. It's the HSG you're not allowed to be bleeding.

@FarmerWantsABaby congrats on that strong line, from everything you've said it sounds like you have a BFP and it's one of those cases of bleeding early on (I know a woman it happened to whereby she had 'periods' for the first trimester). I can understand your fear and the Dr you spoke sounded bloody awful! I think unless you're in severe pain and it's an emergency case then all you can do is try to sit tight until you phone the EPU tomorrow.

@timswifey how are you today lovely? Are you going to work next week or taking some time off?

Looks like my body is trying to gear up for O for a third time now!!! I've never had this before and can only put it down to the HSG really stressing me out (which makes sense as I was crying and shaking and a right old mess 😆)

Pretty sure I have bloody line eyes 🙄 doing my head in, looks like a sold negative, such a idiot for even testing as I'm only 7dpo ..
Don't we all do this tho

Ahh... well at least there is a chance.. I can't wait to be a mummy, sounds weird but it's just how I am, I've grown up with 8 siblings but still hasn't stopped me from wanting them. I have been a little over dramatic with my mood swings but I'm kinda always like that, I get mad easy

@FarmerWantsABaby haha what's he like! That's true though you'll get out of that one if all goes to plan! I'm sure you feel better now he knows

Hi @Gemlou81 sorry I don't have any advice but you are more than welcome here 🥰

@Lmac2018 before my BFP (only ever had one) I had no idea if I was or not. It's perfectly possible to not know - in my opinion anyway.

Any of you ladies didn't feel any symptoms but actually ended with BFPs...

Hi. Am I ok to join? Have been TTC for years. Am 38, have PCOS and now my hubby is having 'performance anxiety' that stems.from him putting too much pressure on himself. How can we ease this? So far he's been silly and turned to getting sedenofil (blood pressure medication) over the internet. We just seem doomed to not have any children. 😥

I told him. He was very confused 😂 he didn't know what to say. He then worries over the fact that I'll not be able to help with the lambing if things work out 😂 I told him that no matter the outcome, at least we know that I have definitely ovulated! Which was a concern last month!!

@FarmerWantsABaby you're not letting him down! You'll hardly sleep tonight either so be in it together! For all you know it's a viable pregnancy & everything could work out perfect 😊 try and be positive 🤞🏼

@whatsthecraic91 I've spent most of the day with my best friend (she's basically a sister) as DH was farming all day with his dad. He's only in the door now currently showering. He's a bigger worrier than me and he'll not sleep a wink tonight if I tell him. He does deserve to know. I feel like I'm going to let him down 😬 you're right though I do need to tell him 😓

@FarmerWantsABaby I personally couldn't keep it from my DP, why don't you tell him then you have some real life support? I know you're trying to protect him incase it doesn't work out but why should you go through it alone?

Thanks so much ladies. I have a CB digital test that gives the weeks and I'm tempted to take one tomorrow to feed my curiosity. My D21 progesterone was on 31st Jan and the results were low. I've no idea if it would flag up pregnancy or not.
Why are the services so shit!! Literally no one professional to turn to for some advice apart from a useless out of hours dr who washed her hands off me! 😐
Still haven't had the heart to tell DH yet.

@FarmerWantsABaby the doctor you spoke to sounds like a twat. Hopefully the bleeding stops and you get somewhere on Monday with your own GP.

@Lottiepink sorry about AF, when is your appointment?

@Anny27 I never thought of that thank you 🙈
The dr questioned why I took a test on D8 of my AF and I felt so stupid 😫 I just told her because I had a hunch due to the fact I've been very sick all week. She seemed confused about the whole thing. As am I 😫 I don't know if it's worth waiting until Monday to ring GP or go to local A&E tomorrow? Aghhhhh 😓

Hi ladies
Thanks for all your replies. Still haven't told DH. He will get his hopes up so much and I don't want to disappoint him incase this isn't going to work out 😬
DR rang me within the hour. She was nice but didn't really provide me with any useful information. Told me it was strange and that she can't speak for the reliability of the test. I took a second and it was another strong BFP. She told me to ring GP on Monday for a chat as this didn't classify as an emergency due to the fact that I'm not in any pain. She also told me I should t be testing so much and questioned why I POAS today as I'm on my period. I left the phone call feeling very vexed and lost if I'm honest.
AF is still here. Bled lightly today. I'm so confused.

@FarmerWantsABaby 🤞 that looks like such a strong bfp hopefully the drs come back with good news!!!

In that awkward wait af due yesterday normally clockwork no signs of it but had some weird tugging behind my belly button which I've never had and some pretty intense stomach twinges earlier in the week also so so tired today said if af doesnt arrive by tomorrow going to poas but did one 1 day before af due and bfn so not feeling awfully positive and a bit nervous about doing it too does that sound mad?

I'm not feeling anything at all which is making me feel that I have conceived this month. Only 7dpo but just dont feel like I am...

@Lottiepink yes I've taken 3 cheapies and then did a clearblue digital this afternoon that came up as 2-3 weeks.

Hi everyone,

Sorry been a crazy few days!

Thanks @anny27 for the new thread!

Af did arrive on Thursday, but never mind, least we have our app soon with the fertility clinic.

@FarmerWantsABaby wow what a line, fingers crossed for you, hope you get the answer next week 🤞🏻your friend having that feeling too, how strange, but they obviously knew ha!

@timswifey so sorry that's so sad, sending my love!

@Lmac2018 @hollywhooo @Eatsleepbakerepeat welcome 😊

@1990shopefulftm congratulations to you too, that's defo positive! You done anymore tests?
