Hi everyone, posted on some of these threads but not been very active on here recently. I was getting into a very miserable place mentally so tried to focus on other things. Currently 2dpo. 3rd cycle since my periods came back after 2nd miscarriage. Been trying for 15 months now!! God writing that down makes it feel a lot more real. Can’t believe I’m still trying. Baby dust to all of you amazing ladies battling through this

H0peing · 17/07/2021 11:06

@Miscarriage39 how far along are you now? Awww! Puppies seem like a very good distraction to me! Yes, I expect to have mixed feelings if I have a BFP again but I hope that you can enjoy the moment too and find time for some lovely treats along the way Xx

H0peing · 17/07/2021 11:01

@Babyghirl Lol yes it does seem like your lady garden is not your own anymore!🤣🤣 I hope your scans go well and that they are helpful Xx

H0peing · 17/07/2021 10:56

@kiwi17 Glad you got some good news from your GP! Extremely helpful to hear about the running thing! It seems like you'll have a much better chance now that you know that! Xx

H0peing · 17/07/2021 10:50

@Sweetbabydust1989 I hope your surgery goes really well and that your Rainbow Baby follows soon after! Xx

H0peing · 17/07/2021 10:47

@Babyghirl lol thanks! He has happy to DTD yesterday after a day off! Especially as I told him to choose his favourite position and enjoy a quickie lol! Thankful for preseed! Sorry if that's TMI! X

My BBT went up to 98F this morning so that could be a good sign! I've been drinking lots of warm ginger tea so hopefully that will help to keep me warm and help things along. Glad that I should know my progesterone levels soon after my 21 day check next week and hoping I can get it prescribed quickly if I need it.

Yes, I've heard that smeg plan has a high success rate! If we're TTC next month I'll probably use a basic ovulation kit rather than Clearblue advanced so DH doesn't get tired of DTD during the flashing smiley days again! X

kiwi17 · 17/07/2021 09:27

@Babyghirl tie him to a chair 🤣🤣🤣 I will shout everytime he asks to go running now though 😆 he'll have to wait til af appears! @Miscarriage39 glad it's still going ok - I bet a puppy will be a good distraction and I know what you mean about trying to ignore the pregnancy I think I'd probably feel the same (if it ever happens!! 😭) but I was also putting off taking on extra responsibilities at work thinking oh well I won't be there much longer but I don't want to keep holding myself back for no reason so I've gone for that as well. School holidays soon so hopefully we'll both be a bit more relaxed!

Miscarriage39 · 17/07/2021 09:09

Thanks Babyghirl. I’m not feeling too bad, just very tired and with occasional mild nausea. Trying to remember how lucky I am while also ignoring it.
The puppy is a labradoodle. She’s currently a week and a half old and very cute.
How are you doing?

Babyghirl · 17/07/2021 09:06

@miscarriage39
How r you feeling and a puppy will do yous the world of good and will be a baby's best friend, what type of dog is it xx

Miscarriage39 · 17/07/2021 07:45

Sweetbabydust1989 I’m glad you have a date for your surgery. It’s only natural that it’s terrifying, but try to hold on to the thought that this is your route to your precious bundle. Sending lots of positive vibes your way.

Sorry you are also still having to deal with your thoughtless SIL!

kiwi17 that’s great news that everything looked normal and your bloods were good. Hopefully tying your DH to the chair is all that’s needed 😆.

Wow Babyghirl, you really are being poked and prodded in all directions at the moment. I am so pleased for you that you are finally having all these tests done.

I’n still getting two lines, but struggling to actually take it on board at the moment. I just don’t think so can emotionally attach to the idea that we may actually have a baby yet. Self protection maybe?

I know this may be crazy, but we have reserved a puppy this week! We were in a breeders list, and they called to say the puppies had arrived. We had a chat about waiting and letting these go, but then realised we may find ourselves with nothing and desperately wanting both. So, we are going ahead, and will hopefully be bringing home our four legged bundle in September. So for now, I’m focusing on that.

Babyghirl · 16/07/2021 23:21

@kiwi17
I'm sure u r relieved everything came bck OK, but tie your dh to the chair so he can't go out running 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm cd13 today got my scan internal and external on Tuesday god my lady garden is not my own anymore 😂😂😂😂😂😂x
@sweetbabydust1989
Yep unfollow her I deleted my Facebook account because of the same thing how unsenstive of her 💚

Sweetbabydust1989 · 16/07/2021 22:34

@kiwi17 already done 🤣 keeps going on about her due date which would of been mine just no sure how to handle this at all x

kiwi17 · 16/07/2021 22:30

Oh no @Sweetbabydust1989 I hate that and that's so insensitive of her too knowing what you're going through :( definitely one to mute on Facebook

Sweetbabydust1989 · 16/07/2021 19:59

@kiwi17 @Babyghirl thanks ladies just feeling really shit SIL is rubbing her baby progress in my face constantly nothing new there I have distant myself away from the family atm for someone who has been through baby loss you would have thought she would have some compassion but nope she is a selfish little cow sorry for the rant.. I might be loosing an important part of my fertility if they cannot sort it etc and she is posting so much crap on FB... I am quite private with baby news etc I don't need to share my stuff with fake friends I have a baby because I want my family to grow not to parade around for attention.. xx

kiwi17 · 16/07/2021 19:35

@Sweetbabydust1989 glad it sounds like you're getting somewhere.. not too long to wait now!

So I had my internal exam today with the gp and talked through everything and it was really helpful - in one way positive because she said all my blood tests came back normal and then internal checks she was happy with said there was nothing wrong at all there apart from a small cyst but she thinks that is ovulation. So I just have to do my 21 day bloods and an US but that's not for 6 weeks (!) The only thing she did say was that dh going running nearly every night was probably killing off his guys so I'm hopeful now we know that and he's going to stop running so much that we might stand a chance 🤞🤞

@Miscarriage39 @Babyghirl @Annny27 where you at ladies? How's it going?

Babyghirl · 16/07/2021 10:47

@sweetbabydust1989
You will be fine just remember what you will get at the end of it all a precious gift it will be so worth it xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 16/07/2021 09:29

@Babyghirl no problem 🤣 I hope it all goes well hun I had a call from the hospital surgery is being booked in for September feels like it's come around so quickly. Never felt so scared in my whole life I just don't want to loose the chance to have my rainbow baby xx

Babyghirl · 16/07/2021 09:23

@sweetbabydust1989
I replayed to u the other day but for some reason it did nt send 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 don't knw all I knw its an ultrasound so will c what on Tuesday when I go lol,
@HOpeing
His willy is tired that made me laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂 it is very tiring when u get to that week sme routine is 3 days in a row from your peak then miss a day then do again and its got a great success rate so think everyday does no harm unless there sperm has a low count or something they tell u to do it every two days 💚

H0peing · 15/07/2021 20:58

Hello all, sorry I've missed out on things recently! I've just had 4 days of flashing smiley faces on my Clearblue ovulation kit and then a still smiley face at around 9pm last night. The kit recommends DTD on all flashing smiley and still smiley days so we've been at it for 4 days in a row and now my DH says that his willy's tired and needs a break lol! Plus, the lady I've been seeing for Chinese herbs told me today that it's best to only DTD every other day! She said 'Have sex every alternate day so that the man can recover and there is seminal fluid increase for the male. It encourages good quality sperm. Do not have sex every day as the quality of sperm won't be good' Too late for that info now! When I got pregnant with my now 5yo we DTD every day during a week away on holiday and that pregnancy went well. I'm not sure what's caused my recent problem with recurrent miscarriage but hoping this will be our month!

I've got really bad pain on my right hand side. Could be ovulation pain. I've just read online that it can be normal but that it's sometimes linked to endometriosis or fibroids. I have one small uterine fibroid so I guess that it could be caused by that. Not sure really!

I have an appointment booked for my 21 day progesterone test on Tuesday so hoping to know the results from that by the end of next week. The lady I see for Chinese herbs also says that a BBT of 98F or more is best around ovulation (I was 97.52F this morning) so she's recommended that, as well as my herbs, that drinking warm ginger will help to warm me up! Seems worth a try! Found some ginger that looks good online: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075XL5164/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_5CCZXS5QWBZ6J8JZ32R9?psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

DH does not seem to be up for any action this evening but said he'll be happy to go again tomorrow. Seems strange missing a peak day but hopefully there's enough sperm available from earlier this week. We'll probably DTD every other day for the rest of this month in case I ovulate on a different day than I expected...or ovulate twice...I've heard that's possible.
Sometimes TTC seems so complicated! Here's to a Summer full of our Rainbow Babies! Xx

Sweetbabydust1989 · 14/07/2021 13:17

@Babyghirl oh it's been a long time coming the fertility doctor was 1 million percent against the whole hycosy test and when I spoke to my consultant today he new him and was glad he put a stop to it thankful i came on so couldn't have it done 😂 I am just scared about the whole one tube and will I be ok to have another child do they give me drugs to help... oh no no baby making that's on the back burner for a while.. funny thing is I got a positive ovulation test yesterday was so tempted but new it was the wrong thing to do my consultant would kill me he did tell me no baby making on the way out 😂 Is it a TV scan?? I hope it all goes well hun xx

Babyghirl · 14/07/2021 12:56

@sweetbabydust1989
