Entering into 8th cycle..

@FlyOnTheWall89 @Indianna2006
Oops sorry for the very slow reply! Gosh I can't imagine being heavily pregnant with such a little one at home too - well done! Will you have some maternity leave to relax etc before your planned section (if you're back to work that is)?

I am good - my youngest is coming up to 2 in November which is just so crazy. Can't believe how quickly the time has gone...she is a real wild card compared to my first and is constantly keeping me on my toes or telling me off 😂

Haven't been on here for agessss but thought I'd post as I know I used to trawl through threads looking for good outcomes from scary starts. @OK92 the first 14/16 weeks were pretty brutal.... the tiredness and nausea alongside looking after a 13 month old was just SO hard. It was survival. But after I turned a corner and got a bit more into second trimester, it has been all great. I'm 31 weeks now. I'll have a planned c section towards the end of October (after I had a c section with my 1st daughter) and I'll be back in that newborn world, building up to it all becoming a bit easier again, which it does feel now that my first is on one nap, sleeps so well, walks and talks a bit and can understand so much. It is wild how life works and not for a minute did I think I'd have 2 20 months apart! Hope you're all well! Xxx

@FlyOnTheWall89 wow congratulations!! So great it happened quickly this time. How are you feeling so far?

@Indianna2006 yes the washing is never ending 😵‍💫 defo will wait a while before making any decisions, and until my youngest is potty trained / easier to cope with 😂

@OK92 arh so nice to hear everything is well!

I'm one of 4 too and can't imagine having just 2... but equally I can see that it's alottttt of work. Maybe you could leave a bit more of a gap and see if the yearning is still there.

I do actually have some news. My daughter just turned 1 and I'm pregnant, only just..,, around 5.5/6 weeks .... it happened quickly this time 👀 and I'm still breastfeeding a little. Keeping everything crossed that it works out.

Xx

@Indianna2006 @FlyOnTheWall89 @Kiaa

Sorry for my very slow reply!! Lovely hearing everyone's updates and glad everyone is doing well. All good here too - little one is 15 months now and a gorgeous little force of nature - starting to properly play much more with older sister too.

I think we are done with two but I can't get a niggling thought out of my head that I'll regret not having one more...I am one of three and DH is one of four so we are used to big families. Although not sure I have it in me to go through pregnancy, newborn days and also TTC again 🙈

Happy new years everyone 🎉
@FlyOnTheWall89
So glad to hear everything is going well they grow way to fast ! So exciting to hear about plans for baby 2 hopefully is easier for you.Fingers crossed for you. & how wonderful to hear about your holiday away 🥰

@Indianna2006
So happy to hear all is great. How special is the sister bond with your 5 year old it's so beautiful seeing how much love and happiness it brings to the family 💕

Bub is 16 months she loves to dance and is cheeky as ! Her big sister is obsessed with her, & she says that's her best friend every day there bond is so precious.
We are happy with just the 2 girls.
My 5 year old just graduated preschool & starts kindergarten soon where did the time go 🥺
We also went on our first family holiday on a Disney cruise 🙂

@Indianna2006 arh that's so nice to hear. The last few months have definitely felt more challenging in some ways as she's always moving, but also so so fun now she is says hi and dadda and waving and pointing at everything. We have gone away on a family trip in the sun and it's just heaven. So special and all we dreamed of.

So pleased your little one is happy and loves her big sister and vice versa! It feels like yesterday when we were battling the monthly sadness. Hoping it doesn't take as long but equally fully prepared for it.... I'm a bit more distracted for now thankfully! X

Girls on this group, how is everyone? We are thinking about baby #2 now! My girl is a year next month!

@Indianna2006 congrats 💖 hope you are recovering well and enjoying the new addition!

@Indianna2006 haha yes so nice to put my old clothes back on and do my own shoes and bend in half without feeling like I might throw up whatever is in my stomach. Keep up with the meds and I'm sure it will get better and better in the coming days. 💕

@Emmalou0607 hi! This is an old group from when we were all trying around the same time and most of not all of us have babies now, one born just on Friday and my little girl 6 weeks ago. Try the group trying to conceive 1+ part 4 I think it's called. My brief advice would be to call your gp and say you've been trying for a year and start getting your bloods done: day 3 and day 21 and your partner needs a semen analysis. That's going to give you a good insight into things. If you're worried about your egg stores, get a private blood test for AMH. Alternatively go private and get a package deal where they'll do all the above and a scan for a price which varies across the country. Best of luck - it feels like forever in the moment but you are so so so likely to get there, might just be taking a while. It took us 15 cycles x

Hey, hope it's okay if I join!

I'm on cycle 9 (5dpo) TTC for number 1 and definitely feeling very deflated at the moment. We'd put it off for a while over covid and then a couple of things like destination family wedding and running a marathon b it feel so stupid now cause I worry if there is something wrong it's just delayed the whole process 😔

@Indianna2006 congratulations 🙌🏻🫶🏼. Enjoy all those little snuggles. Stay mobile and know it will get easier each day. Rest up and look after yourself and get everyone to lift and get you stuff for as long as you can xx

@Indianna2006 congratulations Mama
Enjoy theses precious moments
Hope your recovery is going well 💕

@Indianna2006 thinking of you! Hope all went well x

@Indianna2006 omg good luck todays the day! Hope your little girl is safe and snuggled in your arms 🥰

@FlyOnTheWall89@ @Kiaa hope you are both well! It does feel crazy to think of the heartache we were feeling and where we are all now. Little one is coming up to 5 months now and is such a bundle of joy so far!

@Indianna2006 honestly it's been amazing - I feel really good. Day 1 was the hardest and it's got gradually better. I would say do not get behind in your pain relief ever, even if you're feeling better. Mobilise yourself - even though it's painful and incredibly hard just to sit up in those first days, once you're up, it's much less painful and a bit of movement really helps. Good luck and enjoy all those buzzy hormones, they're just the best. Feels like yesterday that we were all deep in the struggle - how life has changed! 🫶🏼 xx

@Indianna2006
So very glad to hear 😀
Hope everything goes smoothly for you and not so painful recovery X
It went so fast ! Soon she will be in your arms so exciting
My little one turned 7 months not so little anymore 😭 not ready for her to grow up

@Indianna2006 @FlyOnTheWall89 @OK92 how is everything going for you all 🥰
