Think I'm now in my TWW at 1DPO!
Anyone care to join me? 😁
I'm on 1st cycle TTC DC1 💕 Not done anything to track except apps this time but fairly convinced my Flo app was pretty accurate so 🤞

@DarkCrystal85 it's been such a long time, how are you?

Hey @DarkCrystal85, I've been thinking of you! I'm doing ok thank you, how have you been? Very hopeful for you for TTC again 🤞❤️x

@Hotmalibu94 how are you doing lovely?
I'm 2dpo on my first cycle TTC since the loss. I'm soooo scared but I was more scared to stop trying lol. Hope you are well. Sorry I've not messaged, I've felt in limbo since the loss and being giving to go ahead to try again. I'm still awaiting my own genetics results with the last baby having trisomy 15 so been told I will be high risk but I'm to call epu as soon as I get a positive and again go onto aspirin. Eeeek

Hotmalibu94 · 19/01/2024 10:50

@DarkCrystal85 oh I'm sorry. But like you said, I guess at least your body made that hard decision for you. Do you know when you'll get the results back?
We are ok thank you 💕
Totally understandable feeling low and needing to take time away from these sorts of forums!
Here if you ever want to talk though ❤️

@Hotmalibu94 hi, sorry for delay. I've been alright, actually got the results back from the baby today and it turns out he had trisomy 15, so I've to have some genetic testing done to see if I have a hidden extra chromosome somewhere or if it was (as the consultant said it probably will be) an unfortunate one of abnormality. I've looked into it and I may have had a difficult decision to make at a later point had my body not made the decision. I've been told it happens during fertilization and nothing can prevent it so to stop trying to figure out what I did wrong. I'm hoping for the test and results from me to come back asap so I can know if I have 'balanced translocation' (extra chromosome) and if all is well I can try again. If not then I think I can try again and if it happens again they will look at IVF and check my eggs before hand. I just feel like I'm getting older really quick and if this is going to take years I'll then feel too old to even do it all. I'm 38 now, my wife carried our daughter at 39 but I still feel like getting my baby is such a tougher mission than I ever imagined.

I hope you and your bump are doing well 🥰 sorry I dropped off the radar, I've been quite low since the loss xx

Hey @DarkCrystal85 I just wanted to check in and see how you're getting on. Hope you're ok x

Oh my love I am so sorry. I have no words except I'm thinking of you 💕 take care of yourself xxx

Unfortunately my baby died over the last day or so, I woke up today with no symptoms but had a scan already arranged and baby was measuring right for today but no heartbeat. I am currently very numb and not quite sure what to do with myself. I am booked in for surgical management on Monday if I don't pass baby naturally before then. I can't believe this has happened again 😞💔

Hotmalibu94 · 19/11/2023 14:09

@DarkCrystal85 oh bless you that sounds rough! Is she feeling better now?

I've been much better since stopping the pregnacare, haven't had any vomiting since. Just on folic acid currently which I'm wondering if they will increase as my husband declared spina bifida in his family history at our booking appointment. I have a phone call with someone on Monday to discuss that.
Still struggling to eat much though, but hopefully things will start to improve before long! 9+1 now ❤️

Oh amazing, lovely that you've had a scan and it was all good! We decided to wait for the NHS one but omg what a long wait it feels like! So glad it was all ok.
Don't worry, I just wanted to check in and make sure you were all ok 😁

DarkCrystal85 · 19/11/2023 12:26

I'm so sorry. It's all been a bit crazy here. My daughter was admitted to hospital with RSV, adenovirus, Enterovirus and Rhinovirus and was really poorly.

How have you been now you've stopped the pregnacare? I'm on folic and vit d too, also been taking the baby aspirin since the first positive. I've been so nervous due to having literally no symptoms apart from sore boobs so we paid for an early private scan, I was measured and dated a few days behind LMP so I am today 7w2d going by dating scan. Baby was where it should be and has a heart beat. I don't feel like I'm totally out of the woods until handed a crying baby in the delivery room but I'm staying optimistic. My booking appt is on 28th x glad you've had booking appt, I found once I knew I had direct contact with a midwife last time I felt much better. Sorry again for being absent x

Hey @DarkCrystal85 how are you doing?
Had our booking appointment and have our scan date booked in too 💕 so excited!

Hotmalibu94 · 12/11/2023 19:08

@DarkCrystal85 hey! Sorry I've been AWOL for ages! I've been ok, sickness was bad last week but I stopped taking my pregnacare and I think that was what was making me so ill! I went a whole day of barely eating 🤢 so I've cut right down to just folic acid and I need to get some vitD. I have my first midwife appointment on Tuesday! So excited! Hoping they'll give us the date for the scan then 🤞🤞

Oh that's awful about your baby 😔 how does that even happen? That's awful! Someone should have some answers for you!
Your sticks are looking fab! How did your blood test go? X

My first TWW 🙈
DarkCrystal85 · 28/10/2023 03:32

@Hotmalibu94 I'm doing ok thanks, had a few days to get my head around everything. I don't have bloods until 1st and 3rd Nov and paranoid they may stop doubling by then, I've done so many tests though I've now started doing one strip every other day, pregnancy after loss is something else. I just constantly feel like I'm about to lose this little one, I wish I could give myself amnesia for the next few months. How are you doing? Has the sickness kicked in yet? I've been getting waves of sickness, like somebody is pushing my throat 🥴 Ive also just learned that the baby I lost in Feb went to a different city for testing, they never tested so I'll never know what happened and also never know where baby was, which I think it making this all alot harder 😔

@Theflyingfreckle good luck to you fingers crossed 🤞

Theflyingfreckle · 28/10/2023 00:12

First tww here! We thought we might have been pregnant earlier this year (we were using condoms) but it was an evap line with a randomly late cycle.

I am 2 DPO and I'm already over analyzing haha. Fingers crossed for everyone x

Hotmalibu94 · 25/10/2023 06:50

@DarkCrystal85 how are you getting on lovely?

OP posts:
Hotmalibu94 · 22/10/2023 11:43

Oooh good point I'm going to order some ginger nut biscuits 😅

Don't panic and stress yourself, day 12 is definitely darker I reckon!

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 22/10/2023 11:22

Aww bless you, I think it was between 5 and 6 weeks I started to feel sick, right after being hobby about the fact I hadn't felt any sickness yet 😬 ginger biscuits help but also can taste funky lol.

I spent a whole looking at today's test panicking it was lighter than yesterday's but I think I'm just playing tricks with my own mind. Fear is there, I think it just feels so good to be true and possibly a bit of self preservation 🙈

Hotmalibu94 · 22/10/2023 11:13

🥲 it's getting so much clearer every day!

Nothing much here, I've been cramping all week but nothing too dramatic, that has seemingly calmed down but I think my boobs are sorer 😅 yesterday I felt a bit rough, not quite nauseous but not far off so I wonder if the sickness will kick in soon! I'm now 5 weeks 🥰

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 22/10/2023 11:08

Today's 💕

My first TWW 🙈
DarkCrystal85 · 22/10/2023 09:45

Haha my neighbour (good friend) is messaging me the same every morning 😂
I woke up twice last night having a complete panic I had come on period but I hadn't. I was this anxious before too. First thing I do is touch my boobs when I wake up, they are so very sore it kind of reassures me haha. I will be doing test with 2nd morning pee 😁

Any crazy cravings or symptoms yet?

Hotmalibu94 · 22/10/2023 08:43

You'll have to let me know how the tests are looking today 😅
