TTC first baby thread 26

@thislittlebird no i had 2 cancelled cycles as my lining wasn’t responding to the drugs. Then 3 natural cycles with bfns. Then this cycle we put 2 embryos in but only one took. Yeah I really do think it was the prednisoline.

As you are going private this time you may find that you get better care and can add on other stuff. The nhs is very basic with what you can try.

@Annny27 i wish I could but I don’t really have time to pause. I’m 40 next year, I had no idea I’d be this old and still have never made any progress but here we are. There’s no point looking for donors, we don’t have one identifiable problem so who knows it would work with his sperm in someone else’s egg or my egg with someone else’s sperm. And I really would like my own kids like other people get to have.

@XjustagirlX for some reason I thought you had an early ivf loss, but it sounds like it was all BFNs. Did you have two or three attempts? I self medicated with pred this cycle and it was the first time I ever achieve implantation. I did it because I know I have immune issues and thought it was worth a shot, I think your theory could be right.

@thislittlebird Im sorry to hear that. i had three natural early losses. And then I never got a bfp with ivf except this one. I honestly think what helped me was the prednosoline.

@Annny27 @Lozzlepop @whatsthecraic91 we aren’t finding out what we are having but I have a feeling it is a boy.

@XjustagirlX 17 weeks! How exciting are you going to find out what you're having?

@Annny27 37 weeks 😍😍 omg I bet you can't wait for that little bundle to be in you arms.

@Lozzlepop 3 months old wow, time is flying. I can't believe how many babies have become of this thread now 🤩

My DS is 21 months & my DD is 20 weeks old now. She's an absolute dream like her big brother feeding like a champ. Big bro is getting hard work these days, terrible 2s incoming 😂

@Annny27 I breastfed exclusively for 4 weeks any then we added in some formula. He’s now fully formula as unfortunately I wasn’t producing enough and it just wasn’t really working for us which im gutted about but at the same time I always said I’d try and not put too much pressure on myself! He’s thriving so it was the correct decision for us! He will absolutely be getting dressed up lol!

@XjustagirlX 17 weeks, that’s so exciting! The sickness can be a killer but fab it’s starting to ease and you can hopefully enjoy this part of your pregnancy! Do you have any inclination as to what you are having?

@thislittlebird so sorry for your loss,
I have everything crossed that
going private works for you both!

So we are going on holiday today, first holiday in over 3 years and Of course my period decided to come back just in time for it 🙄🙄

@Annny27 no, all private now. We’ll probably pay for two more egg collection rounds at most and then just resign ourselves to childlessness if those fail. I’m too old and too tired of it all.

@Annny27 yeah it was our final embryo. The other one didn't survive the thaw so we're back to square one again, 3 years after we started trying.

@Annny27 glad to hear it's going well

@XjustagirlX hey, hope you're ok and glad to hear it's going well. I had my first BFP and then started bleeding a few days later. Just waiting for EPU to confirm my HCG is going down and then I'll stop the meds. Did you have any chemicals/early losses? I can't remember, I'm looking for hope to cling to.

We meet the Lister next week to discuss starting all over again, not that I really have the will for it.

@Lozzlepop @Annny27 im 17 weeks tomorrow. I suffered badly with sickness and fingers crossed it is just starting to ease off now. Not got much of a belly just look very bloated haha.

37 weeks! Wow so close. Do you feel ready?

@Annny27 omg 37 week, congratulations you are on the home straight! How have you been feeling? All set for the next stage? How exciting!! I know- the days go so fast!! It’s definitely had it’s challenges and there’s been a few tears when I’ve found it tough (mainly from sleep deprivation) but all in all I think he’s a pretty good baby! We started a bedtime routine just before 8 weeks and he’s usually up once in the night plus we get him up for a dream feed. He’s a happy little boy and getting big and it fills my heart with such joy- it really is the best job!! Xx

Hi @XjustagirlX all good here thanks, little man is just over 3 months old and we are off on our first family holiday this weekend! How’s things with you?

How is everyone doing? @Annny27 @MIW01 @thislittlebird @whatsthecraic91 @Lozzlepop

Thank you @whatsthecraic91

I started bleeding again today 9 days after the miscarriage bleeding. I called the midwife triage and they said like to be a period. I'm now really struggling physically, mentally and emotionally.

@MIW01 oh I'm so sorry to read this 😞 life can be so cruel. Amazing that you now know you can pregnant xx

@XjustagirlX thank you. I know life really sucks a lot and has done for quite a number of years now but we are feeling more hopeful now, finally.

@Annny27 thank you, I know you've had your fair share of heartache with miscarriages and I'm so happy that you've finally got a little one well on the way! I can't wait to see a picture when they finally arrive. How are you feeling?

@MIW01 oh no. Im so sorry for you. I couldn’t believe it when I saw your message. It’s so unfair. Take some time to grieve ❤️

Been diagnosed with a complete miscarriage today! Nothing in uterus at scan and negative pregnancy test. Happened on Sunday when I was 6+2 we've just been reassured we can get pregnant so keep trying and so I've ordered another ovulation kit so I can work out my cycle.
